Chapter 172 There is an easter egg at the end of the chapter!!!
In the underground library, Toshiya Tadokoro, Shuichi Hamura, Etsuko Tokura, and Fumio Doi were worried, but they still looked at Qin Zhibo with a calm expression on their faces.
The reason is that Qin Zhibo quietly said something like this in the ears of these people just now.
I know the truth of the matter...
Of course, if you just throw such a sentence at one of them alone, it will definitely not attract attention.
But just now Qin Zhibo was moving around the four of them at extremely fast speeds, and said these words as fast as Alpha's surprise attack.
It's impossible for them to not care at all.
Because I was very concerned, I followed him.
Arriving at the underground library, Qin Zhibo stood in front of the four people and said slowly: "Actually, this case cannot be solved by one person, nor can two people do it."
"The answer is that the four of you killed Daisuke Tokura together."
Click!
A thunderbolt thundered through the brains of the four people.
But then, Shuichi Hamura, the calmest among the four, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and asked in a calm tone: "You said we killed him, there should be evidence, right?"
"Don't be so anxious..." Qin Zhibo responded with a smile, "First let me restore the way you committed the crime..."
Next, Qin Zhibo told the truth about the activities of the four "little blacks" in the reenactment.
In fact, it is not easy to grasp clearly the trajectory of these four "black men" when they committed crimes.
Their murder plan was obviously planned in advance, with a clear division of labor and each performing their own duties.
For example, after confirming the reenactment of the scene for the second time, Qin Zhibo discovered that there were two "little black men" sitting in the living room when the crime occurred.
These two "little blacks" are naturally Hamura Shuichi and Doi Fumio.
They told Kogoro Mouri that the two of them were chatting in the living room during the time of the crime, which was indeed the case.
But their purpose is not to chat.
When "Black" representing Toshiya Tadokoro passed by the living room carrying coffee, the three of them looked at each other.
Later, when Toshiya Tadokoro knocked Daisuke Tokura unconscious with an artwork in the study, the two people in the living room and Etsuko Tokura upstairs came to the study together and carried out the killing process of one person and one hammer.
Unlike the stabbing method in Murder on the Orient Express, the method of using a mallet to drive stakes ensures that everyone kills without leaving multiple wounds of varying depths.
...
When Qin Zhibo finished speaking, the four of them were shocked.
How can it be so accurate?
All the details are spot on.
It's as accurate as seeing it with your own eyes...
Qin Zhibo's ruthless reasoning (accurate review) caused self-doubt in the four people's hearts. Could it be that when they were implementing the plan yesterday, they happened to be bumped into by the detective surnamed Qin in front of them?
But at this time, Hamura Shuichi still forced himself to calm down and said calmly: "Mr. Detective, you have a very rich imagination, but there is no evidence for anything you said."
As soon as Hamura Shuichi said his words, he was immediately refuted by Qin Zhibo.
"Huh? Who said I rely on imagination?"
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Last night I got up and happened to see Mr. Tadokoro passing by the living room carrying coffee at the corner of the stairs. You two were chatting in the living room."
"Then Mrs. Tokura comes down from upstairs, and the three of you walk into the study together."
"At that time, I squatted at the corner of the stairs for a while and found that everyone except Mr. Tadokoro finally came back."
"Mr. Hamura and Mr. Doi continued to sit in the living room and chat as if nothing happened, while Mrs. Tokura returned to her room upstairs."
"After a while, Mr. Tadokoro came out of Mrs. Tokura's room and surprised me."
At this point, Qin Zhibo still had a frightened expression on his face.
Thanks to his acting skills, the expression on Qin Zhibo's face was very lifelike, as if he was really shocked by Toshiya Tadokoro who came out of Etsuko Tokura's room at that time.
At this time, the four people looking at Qin Zhibo seemed to be looking at a freak.
Forget about getting up at night, since you meet someone in the living room, why not go up and say hello?
If you say hello, we will definitely cancel the plan!
And you have been secretly spying on me for such a long time. Is there something wrong with you?
But after thinking about it, this is not impossible.
Always look at the world with suspicion, this is what a detective is.
The four people had complicated expressions, but in the end it was Tadokoro Toshiya who took the initiative to stand up.
"Actually, I am the one who called everyone together, and all this is my plan."
"Oh? Can you tell me your motives?"
Qin Zhibo has always been like a ruthless crime-solving machine, not caring about motives.
But this time, Qin Zhibo wanted to know the motive.
The four of them looked at each other, and Doi Fumio started to talk first.
"Actually, many years ago, Hucang's talents were exhausted."
"About seven years ago, I failed to invest in stocks, so I owed a huge debt. At that time, Hu Cang paid off a large amount of debt for me."
"But from then on, I will hand over the submitted novel to him for him to plagiarize."
"Five years ago, I couldn't bear the fact that a large number of my submitted novels were plagiarized by him, so I introduced Tadsuo to Tokura."
The conversation turned to Toshiya Tadokoro, who also began to explain.
"Actually, I had no resentment at first about becoming Hu Cang's ghostwriter."
"Because I have a sister named Kaori who is 10 years younger than me. She had serious kidney disease when she was born."
"My parents gave up treatment early in order to save medical expenses. I had no choice but to ghostwrite and let Tokura bear all the expenses of Kaori's hospitalization."
"But it wasn't until a month ago that I learned that he had already used money to bribe Kaori's attending doctor. He did not care about the condition of her condition at all, but only provided the minimum treatment and extended her hospitalization time."
"This directly caused Kaori's condition to worsen, and she died alone."
"Poor Kaori kept calling my name before she died!"
Tadokoro Toshiya roared angrily, expressing his resentment towards Daisuke Tokura.
Next is Etsuko Tokura.
"Actually, Hamura and I have been true lovers since we were in college,"
"Eight years ago, my father's company was not doing well and was about to close down. It was Hu Cang who offered to give the company some financial help at the cost of marrying me, who had just graduated from college."
"In order to prevent a large number of employees in the company from losing their jobs, I have no choice but to..."
At this time, Shuichi Hamura on the side continued: "Actually, this was all planned by Daisuke Tokura behind the scenes. His purpose from the beginning was to get Etsuko."
Qin Zhibo nodded, understanding.
But at this moment, Etsuko Tokura stretched out her arms again and rolled up her sleeves.
"Actually, there is another reason why I want to kill him..."
"Recently, in order to pursue the stimulation of creative inspiration by physical objects, Tokura suddenly wanted to taste blood himself."
"so..."
Etsuko Tokura did not continue, but it was easy to tell from the several clearly visible pinholes on the arm joints.
At the same time, Qin Zhibo pressed the recording device in his trouser pocket to stop.
