Chapter 1388 Where did the ghost come from in this world?
"Wow!"
Soul Detective Keito Hotta's astonishing speech sent the audience into an uproar.
Reina Mizuna, who was standing in the middle, immediately turned to Keito Hotta and asked: "Mr. Hota, are you serious?"
I saw Keito Hotta slowly lowering his hands, a dull Indian face nodded heavily, and said with a long breath.
"Absolutely nothing wrong..."
"The ghost of that maid has already told me. A high school detective once kept questioning her and forcibly pinned crimes on her that were not hers..."
"In the end, the maid couldn't stand the pressure and chose to commit suicide..."
As soon as Hota Keito finished speaking, Junya Tokatsu suddenly shouted: "No! That maid committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
"It was she who tampered with the screws in the window frame of the room where the wealthy daughter hanged herself, creating a secret room and misleading the police to conclude that she committed suicide for the first time!"
"She is the murderer!"
"And Xiaosheng doesn't know the maid at all! So it's impossible to question her!"
Tokijin Junya pressed his hands tightly on the table in front of him, his face was very excited, and his long silky hair hung down on both sides of his face, even a bit ferocious.
On the other hand, when looking at Keito Hota, the stiffness of the Indian face gives people a sense of calmness.
"Mr. Shijin, you know the methods of this case so well, have you ever handled this case?"
"No!"
Tokijin Junzai was anxious and suddenly yelled, "The young man said he didn't know the maid, how could he have handled that case? The young man just told the contents of the newspaper report..."
"oh……"
Keito Hotta nodded in understanding, and then changed the subject, "That's strange, there are no screws on the window frame in the short video just now..."
"Fool!"
"Because the house filmed in that short film is not the Lavender Villa where the case occurred!"
As soon as Tokijin Junzai finished speaking, his eyes suddenly froze.
He realized that he had made a mistake, but it was too late.
At this time, the host Rena Mizuno had a look of confusion on her face, "What's going on? I never said that the scenes shot in the short film were fake..."
"Mr. Tokitsu, have you really been to the Lavender Villa on Shikoku Island?"
It wasn't until this moment that Tokijin Junya realized that he had fallen into a carefully laid trap.
This program is not intended to make him famous at all!
He wanted to leave the scene immediately and quit filming.
But when he glanced at it, he saw a surveillance screen not far away, with a camera pointing at him, and the picture was being broadcast simultaneously on a TV program.
This is actually a live broadcast!
My performance so far has actually been broadcast on TV!
Moreover, it happens to be the prime time period, and the number of viewers in front of the TV is the highest in a day.
If I leave at this time, it will definitely trigger a bigger discussion afterwards.
Even if he strongly denies having participated in the investigation of the Lavender Villa case, once the influence of the program becomes too great, the newspaper reporters who were in contact with him six months ago will definitely jump out and make an issue.
Half a year ago, in order to put pressure on the Shikoku Island police and restart the investigation, Junya Tokizu chose to publicize the methods of the case he investigated in newspapers, which attracted enough attention.
For the sake of traffic, those journalists will help them publicize the methods of the case, and they will also break the news about their involvement in the case for the sake of traffic.
no……
We cannot step down now, we must find ways to reverse the situation and eliminate the impact.
After a brief internal weighing, Tokijin Junya's expression slightly regained his composure and he said quietly.
"There is nothing we can do..."
"Xiaosheng originally didn't want to mention that past incident again. The prisoner committed suicide because of his crime, which also made Xiaosheng feel regretful..."
Tokijin Junya shook his head helplessly, and then changed the subject.
"But there is absolutely no problem with Xiaosheng's investigation. The maid cut off the screws that fixed the window frame and twisted the end of the screw cap into the surface of the window frame to pretend that the window was intact."
"After that, she hanged Qian Jin in the room, pulled open the window, left the scene, and then restored the window frame with carpentry adhesive to create the illusion of a secret room."
"This is the truth of the case..."
Before Tokatsu Junya finished speaking, Hota Keito shook his head and retorted: "No, this is not the truth..."
"The spirit of the maid has told me everything, and nothing can be more convincing than the truth told from the dead woman's own mouth."
At this time, the lights in the studio went dark and the projection screen on the side of the stage lit up again.
This time I played a video recorded in a hotel room. The overall filter of the video was gray, like a style commonly used in ghost movies.
On the big bed in the hotel room, Keito Hotta was wearing a white suit and sitting cross-legged in the middle.
Next to his body are small bones, lizard tails, dried pufferfish, colorful eyeballs and other weird gadgets.
I saw Keito Hotta clasping his hands together and drawing a few circles in front of him, and he himself entered the "psychic mode".
Keito Hotta, who is in "psychic mode", has his head lowered and his hands naturally hanging on his knees, like an old monk who has passed away.
Suddenly, Hota Kaito suddenly raised his head again, rolling his eyes under his protruding eyelids.
At this time, a voice in the voiceover asked: "Who are you?"
Keito Hotta suddenly looked at the camera, the huge whites of his eyes were a bit scary.
He replied in a heavy and deep voice: "I am the maid of Lavender Villa..."
"Mizuguchi Kana..."
The voice-over continued to ask: "Who killed you?"
"Keito Hotta" replied: "It's a high school detective named Tokizu Junya..."
"It was he who forced me to admit the crime of killing the eldest lady..."
The voice-over then asked: "Who killed the eldest lady?"
"Keito Hotta" replied: "The eldest lady committed suicide..."
"She was deceived by a man named Kondo... and suffered from depression... long-term emotional instability..."
"Finally committed suicide..."
The voice-over finally asked: "Do you have any evidence that the murderer was not you?"
"Kaito Hota": "The screws that Junya Tokizu found were left behind after a thief named 'Hachio' visited..."
"The traces on it were left recently, not at all the time when the eldest lady hanged herself half a year ago..."
"There is also the fact that the eldest lady is suffering from depression, and the villa housekeeper also knows about it..."
Suddenly, "Kaito Hotta"'s head suddenly tilted up and his arms spread out to both sides, as if some invisible force rushed out from his Tenling Gai.
"ah--!"
"I'm so resentful!"
It seems that the soul of the maid is expressing her resentment through the mouth of Keito Hotta.
This weird scene made people shiver down their spines. Combined with the tones of the underworld, some timid female audience members subconsciously covered their eyes.
But their curiosity about the follow-up of the incident made them unable to hold back and exposed a gap between their fingers.
But then, Keito Hotta in the video suddenly slumped over and fell on the bed as if exhausted.
The video also stopped abruptly at this moment, and the headlights of the studio came back on.
The lights and cameras have focused on Toki Jinjunzai's face.
At this time, Junya Tokatsu was still staring in the direction of the projection screen, with no concealment of the shock on his face.
It wasn't that he was shocked by Hota Keito's "psychic", but that what Hota Keito said was actually right.
There are even things that even he doesn't know about.
Six months ago, he passed through Shikoku Island while traveling and heard about the "Lavender Villa Case."
After roughly understanding the contents of the case, he felt that there might be something hidden in the case, so he came to the villa to investigate.
Under the window of the suicide room, he found a few screws and felt that there was a trick to it.
In order to demonstrate his ability, he quickly contacted the newspaper reporter and published his method in the newspaper.
Due to pressure, the police had to restart the investigation.
However, at that time, the only person serving the young lady in the villa was the maid, so the maid was the first to be suspected.
Junya Tokizu is also convinced that "the maid is the murderer".
Until one night, when he was studying the evidence again, he found that the marks on the screws were relatively new and did not look like they were left half a year ago.
There are also broken screws placed on the grass outside the window, and they have not rusted at all for half a year.
This made him realize that there was a fatal flaw in his reasoning.
However, the police had already started investigating at that time, and the public's attention was very high. He did not dare to admit that his reasoning was wrong, otherwise the reputation of the detective he had worked hard for several years would be completely ruined.
Therefore, he chose to tell the police and the media to conceal his name and walked away.
Later, he learned on the way that the maid had committed suicide.
Although he vaguely guessed why the maid committed suicide, he didn't dare to think about it carefully, let alone verify where the screws came from.
In this way, it has been postponed until today.
…
"Mr. Tokijin, do you have anything to say?"
Faced with the question from the host Reina Mizuno, Junya Tokijin's eyes widened, filled with uneasiness and fear.
"No, it's impossible!"
"This is all fake!"
"Absolutely nothing!"
"Impossible——!"
Suddenly, Junya Tokatsu rushed out of the studio like crazy in full view of everyone.
Until this moment, his subconscious behavior was to refuse to accept the fact that his reasoning was wrong, and chose to escape directly.
Anyway, "Ghost"'s words cannot be used as evidence. As long as you don't admit it, you haven't lost yet!
Junya Tokizu ran out of the studio and rushed into the backstage lounge next door.
"hateful!"
Junya Tokijin stood in front of the dressing table, slamming his fists on the tabletop of the dressing table angrily.
Being calculated...
But how did he know those things?
How could that low-life charlatan know the details of so many cases, including the source of the screws and his participation in the investigation of the case?
Psychic...
How is it possible?
It is impossible for a soul to exist in this world!
"soul……"
"hehe……"
Tokijin Junya raised a twisted angle on his lips, laughing at himself for wanting to believe in the existence of "psychics" for a moment.
But at this moment, a figure quietly appeared behind him.
Tokijin Junya bowed in front of the mirror, and at first he didn't notice the strange thing behind him.
When he raised his head slightly to look at the mirror in front of him, he suddenly noticed a figure behind him.
"drink!"
Tokijin Junya turned around subconsciously, but because of fright, his movements were too large, and his butt hit the dressing table, making a "pang-lang" sound.
"You, who are you!?"
Tokijin Junya looked at the woman in front of him in horror.
The woman has a pair of ponytails, and most of her deeply buried head is covered by long bangs. She wears a blue and white maid outfit, with an apron tied around her waist.
Suddenly, a memory from half a year ago flashed through Tokijin Junya's mind.
At that time, he was so eager to "solve the case" that he once found the maid herself and forced her to admit the crime.
"Who are you……"
"Kana Mizuguchi!"
The figure did not respond, but its buried head slightly raised.
He saw a resentful eye glaring at him from between the bangs of hair, and below it was the gray corner of his mouth bleeding with blood.
"No, it's impossible!"
"You're the makeup artist...you want to scare me, right?"
"You are all in cahoots!"
Although Tokijin Junya's body kept shrinking back, his mind was still clear for the first time.
A smile that looked uglier than crying appeared at the corner of his mouth, forcing himself to pretend to be calm.
But at this moment, the door to the lounge suddenly opened, and the makeup artist appeared at the door.
"Mr. Shijin, the program team is still waiting for you to return!"
"Mr. Shijin, what's wrong with you?"
Tokijin Junya's buttocks were almost sitting on the table of the dressing table, and he turned to look at the makeup artist standing at the door.
But the makeup artist seemed unable to see the figure of the woman in front of him, and just looked at him with a puzzled look.
"You, you..."
"Can't you see her?" Tokatsu Junya asked in a trembling tone.
"What did you see?"
The makeup artist looked confused, "Aren't you and me the only ones here?"
At this moment, Shi Jinjunzai's brain had no time to think more, and he turned his head again to stare at the figure in front of him.
Looking at the gray face that was approaching, his legs began to tremble unconsciously.
"you……"
"It was you who killed me..."
The long, ghostly sound emanating from the mouth of the female figure conforms to all human fantasies about the sounds made by the dead.
At this moment, the lights in the lounge began to flicker, accompanied by a crackling sound.
At this moment, Tokijin Junya's nerves, which were stretched to the limit, were just right, and the emotional dam that had been squeezed for a long time collapsed like a mountain.
"Not me!"
Tokijin Junya turned around and ran towards the door, pushing away the makeup artist blocking the door.
But he ran too fast and failed to see the threshold under his feet, so he tripped and fell at the door of the lounge.
Ignoring the pain in his knees, he quickly turned around and looked towards the back of the room, where the terrifying female figure was chasing after him.
"Don't come over here!"
"I didn't mean to commit perjury! I didn't think you would commit suicide!"
"It's not my fault!"
"Don't come over here!"
Sitting on the ground, Junya Tokijin shrank back while shaking his other hand randomly.
But even so, it couldn't stop the "female ghost" from approaching him.
Until the palm of the "female ghost" approached his head, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his head with his hands.
But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.
He tentatively released his hands covering his head and looked around nervously, only to see the maid and makeup artist standing in front of him.
Surrounded by TV crews holding cameras, they were filming his face with the lens.
The maid also took off her wig at this time, revealing the short wavy hair underneath.
Underneath the cheerful smile are two cute little tiger teeth.
