In the square face men's room on the second floor, the forensics personnel inspected the bat brought by the other side's face. There was no blood stain, but there was a trace of adhesive tape.
"Are you going to use this bat against red girl?" Yuki Uehara looked at the side.
"Yes, but if it's a ghost..."
"How's it going?"
Yuki Uehara asked the forensics.
"Is it a murder weapon?"
"There are no obvious scars," the forensic officer responded. "Luminol reagent has no reaction. It should not be the weapon used to beat the victim, but it seems to have something pasted on it, and it feels a little sticky."
"I don't think it's necessary to use this as a murder weapon. The dumbbells in the bath are enough," Gao Cheng asked, scanning around the room
"It's said that the guests who don't like to blow the air conditioner turned out of the storage room," the square faced man said uncertainly, "and then left it here?"
Gao Cheng is silent.
This room is just above the living room. According to Xiaolan and Yuanzi, the sound of Miss Chengxiang using a vacuum cleaner, the hum and the thump of hitting the wall were also heard at that time.
Just now, when I asked feng'an Zhumei who was in the kitchen at that time, I said that she was cleaning up the kitchen and preparing dinner. Feng'an Zhumei also talked with the two garden people in the next living room and didn't leave the kitchen until they came back.
In other words, if Miss Chengxiang uses any method to let Yuanzi and Xiaolan hear the sound of the vacuum cleaner, she will have a chance to commit a crime in the bathroom on the first floor.
It's just the sound of the vacuum cleaner and the thump, which doesn't mean anything
When he left the square faced man's room, Gao Cheng called Yuyi Shangyuan: "Miss Youyi, there are some things I want to ask."
"Well?" Uehara's face was puzzled.
"Have you ever broken into an empty house near here?" Gao Cheng asked directly.
There are two key parts in the current case: the murder of a red girl 15 years ago and the death of a young girl 12 years ago. Combined with the murder of Mr. Bo Gu, the clues seem to be in a mess. If we do not clarify the middle connection, there will always be doubts.
This is also the reason why he didn't point out although he suspected Chengxiang.
The lack of information is easy to cause misjudgment. Now there is plenty of time, so it is necessary for him to solve all the doubts.
After he found the body, he thought of many things.
First of all, there are traces on the other side of Chinu villa. It is obvious that someone has been in and out of the villa, but that villa can't live. If someone really lives in this forest, he is bound to go to other villas.
The police may have some information.
Then it's about Chengxiang
At lunch time, Bo Gu was very surprised to hear the reaction of the woman in red. He didn't think of Chinu, but thought of his classmate Congzi for the first time.
The problem is, he asked from feng'an Zhumei that Congzi didn't wear any red clothes that day 12 years ago
Finally, Chengxiang, who met at first, clearly everyone was present, but he handed the photo to Shiliang directly without knowing who Shiliang was. It was different from other people.
"How do you know?"
Yuyi Uehara looks at Gao Cheng in surprise.
"Since more than ten years ago, at this time, people in the nearby rental villas have called the police. Different from the prank of breaking windows and throwing things, there are signs that someone broke the door lock and sneaked in to live for a period of time. Occasionally, there are testimonies that they saw suspicious people in the forest
So Nagano County police have been unable to determine that the bones sunk in the swamp is the red woman
"Is it all this time?"
Gao Cheng looks slightly coagulated, takes out a picture and continues to ask.
"This is a picture taken here by Mr. Bo Gu 12 years ago, just at noon on the day of their classmate Congzi's disappearance. The girl in a beige jacket in the middle is Congzi
Is this really the girl who was found in the swamp? "
"There should be no mistake about this," Yukiya Uehara said after taking the photo. "I found that she was still an intern in the police school. Xiaogan, who was in charge of patrol, and police officer Zhufu, but..."
Yuyi Uehara said strangely, "listen to Xiaogan, she was wearing a long red coat when she found it, just like a red girl."
"There's another thing," Gao Cheng asked with bright eyes. "Is there any report of the murder of Chinu 15 years ago? We should have searched the forest carefully after the crime. Why didn't we find the murder weapon at that time, but it could appear three years later? Three years later, it should be more difficult to find out. "
"It's probably because it's covered by the leaves. It was under the leaves when it was found."
Uehara just listened to officer Daiwa. He didn't know the specific situation. He was a little embarrassed.
"Moreover, it seems that the swamp was not searched 15 years ago. According to the report, the policeman at the scene was wounded by the red woman with a knife. Maybe he didn't have time to chase after her..."
"Cut by a knife?"
"Yes, I quit my job after that, and now I'm working in the video game city. I didn't come here until I went to ask him about the situation today, because the murder may have something to do with red girl..."
"Miss Youyi, may I ask you to gather in the living room again?"
Gao Cheng fell into thinking.
He probably knew what was going on.
There is indeed another person in the forest. For more than ten years, there have been empty doors and traces of access to Chinu villa. If there is no accident, it should be the same employee who witnessed Chinu's murder.
The fact that there is more dust in the bedroom also points to this possibility.
Although it is a third party, it should be a great stimulation to watch one's lover be brutally killed.
However, the woman in red that Xiaolan and Yuanzi see in the forest is not her. It's just Chengxiang's disguise in order to make the appearance of the red girl. After hearing the conversation, they know who is pure.
I'm afraid that lover has been looking for Chinu for revenge. Now it seems that Congzi, who left behind 12 years ago, was attacked because he was wearing an infrared cover as Chinu.
The truth 12 years ago
……
"What? You already know who killed Bo Gu? "
After the rain, the power of the villa suddenly stopped. However, Yuyi shehara still let people light candlesticks and gather in the living room. When he heard that the murderer had been found, the square faced men were very surprised.
"Isn't it red girl?"
"Of course not," Gao Cheng walked into the living room with Xiao AI behind Yuki Uehara. "The people who killed Mr. Bo Gu were always in this villa, just in these people at the scene..."
"So it's all said," the square faced man frowned. "The time of the crime was when Chengxiang and they cleaned the room on the first floor. At that time, I went out shopping and Zhumei was still in the kitchen. Do you want to say that the murderer was Zhumei?"
"Miss Zhumei can't commit a crime," Gao Cheng shook his head. "It's estimated that it will take several times to move the tomatoes covering the whole bath water and several dumbbells sinking into the bathroom. It's easy to be found, because miss Chengxiang will also sweep the corridor when they clean the room on the first floor."
"What is that..."
"It's very simple. Tomatoes and dumbbells were already in the bath earlier. Mr. Bo Gu's real time of death was before Xiaolan and them tested the water temperature."
Gao Cheng reasoned.
"Because of the green bath salt, we can't see anything at the bottom of the pool. If Mr. Bo Gu's body was pressed in the water by a dumbbell at that time, we just tried the water temperature and couldn't touch it.
"The reason why people think that the time of the crime is after that is just because of the tomatoes, but it's just a trick played by the prisoners, in order to make people think that the tomatoes were put in after the water temperature was tested, so as to obtain an alibi for themselves."
"But," Xiaolan said hastily, "when I tried the water temperature, there were no tomatoes."
"It's just that it didn't surface."
Gao Cheng asked Xiao AI to take a tomato and put it into a glass kettle to demonstrate how the tomato sank to the bottom.
"Unlike ordinary tomatoes, tomatoes with high sugar content will sink underwater, but as long as the bath salt concentration is enough, the tomatoes will float again,
Dissolve part of the salt in the water in advance to make the tomato reach the critical state of floating. Finally, just sprinkle a little more salt to change the balance, and the tomato will naturally surface,
It's the same as what the murderer did in the bathroom. Yes, the murderer was Miss Chengxiang who entered the bathroom first. She didn't need to bring anything. Just add the last bath salt to the bath as soon as possible to complete this technique. "
Feng'an Zhumei followed Gao Cheng's eyes and looked at Cheng Xiang's face.
"Cheng, Cheng Xiang killed Bo Gu?"
"How is that possible?"
Square face male reaction strong way: "Cheng fragrant where has this time?"
"Of course, when she cleans the room on the second floor alone, the sound of the vacuum cleaner can be heard as long as it is on. As for the sound of crashing against the wall, it can be made with anything."
Gao Cheng calms down.
"The upstairs of the living room is just Mr. Ren Tian's room. He pastes cardboard on the bat to make it look like a wing. Then he hangs it on the post and blows it across the post with an electric fan setting his head. When the bat is blown by the wind, it will hit the post and make a sound. There is a hook on the post."
"How can..." the square face man opened his mouth and looked at the silent Chengxiang.
"Even if it's no use sophistry," Gao Cheng finally said, "I'm afraid you've also found that the cuffs that were soaked in high concentration of salt water when sinking the corpse appeared salt crystals after they were dried... Because after the crime, the sleeves that had been put down before were rolled up now."
"But what's the matter?" Square face male anxious way, "how can Cheng Xiang kill Bo Gu?"
"I think it's because of Congzi who died 12 years ago."
Gao Cheng said to Cheng Xiang“ Congzi, who is clearly wearing a beige short coat, was wearing a long red coat when his body was found. Maybe he didn't fall behind by accident. Instead, he deliberately wanted to play a prank. He played the role of red girl and played a joke with everyone. In the end, something happened“ In fact, there is a woman moving around in this forest. Every year at this time, she comes here to seek revenge for the red girl. Maybe Congzi falls into the swamp after her. The evidence is that the murder weapon of the kitchen knife that fell on the edge of the swamp was not found 15 years ago, but three years later. The real reason is that it was not the red girl who dropped the murder weapon, but the woman who chased Congzi. "“ But what's the matter with Bo Gu? " "Square face male agony way," if what you say is true, isn't that woman's fault? " Cheng Xiang raised his head and sweat came out again on his face: "the woman who seeks revenge for red girl?" Next to shehara, you Yi can't help looking at Gao Cheng in surprise. Why does the truth seem so complicated? Did you even find out this kind of thing“ Miss Chengxiang doesn't know it's right. After all, even the police don't know about it, "Gao Cheng continued." the reason why he killed Mr. Bo Gu is because he heard that a woman in red appeared in the forest, right“ Yes, that's right... "Chengxiang looks at Gao Cheng absently, and feels that the whole person will be seen through all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, someone will find out such a situation. It's not so much a detective as a murderer. She even knows better than her. Tears flow down Chengxiang's cheek“ I found out a few years ago after I asked the police. Congzi was wearing a red coat... She was going to pretend to be alone when we went to search the forest, and then disguise as a red girl. But this prank needs someone to lead us to her. I also know today that that person is Bo Gu... If he tells the truth at that time, Maybe Congzi... "Bang!" With a flash of lightning, the window of the living room was suddenly smashed. A dark shadow with long hair suddenly opened the window and climbed into the living room with a gasp of pain. His big eyes were staring at Cheng Xiang sitting beside Gao Cheng. Gao Gao raised a sharp kitchen knife and rushed over“ Hoo The candle was blown out by the wind and rain. Facing the long hair and dark shadow, Chengxiang screamed in horror. Even if Gao Cheng stopped her, she still fell from the chair“ Senior“ Detective Chenghu Shiliang Zhenchun and Yuyi Uehara took the lead in responding, and almost immediately Shiliang Zhenchun rushed to the front of Gao Cheng“ You fellow Shiliang Zhenchun protects Gao Cheng with a loud shout. He sweeps his legs with the light of lightning and knocks out the sharp blade in the hand of long hair shadow. Together with Shangyuan Youyi, he makes the long hair shadow crying bitterly“ Red, red girl! " In the living room, the garden retreats to the corner in fear, shivering with Xiao Lan. Gao Cheng was stunned and explained: "she is not the red girl, but the victim of the red girl incident. She is the lover of the staff who was killed, the villas nearby who broke into empty doors, and the suspicious figures that have haunted the forest for more than ten years are all her."“ Is that her They lit the candle again, and then they could see the long hair and dark shadow. It's an ordinary woman who is covered with mud and tears. She doesn't care about the police who hold her down. She only stares at Cheng Xiang hiding behind Gao Cheng. It seems that as long as she releases her hand, she will bite her teeth. The whole person is immersed in pain“ That's enough, "Gao Cheng squatted in front of the struggling woman," the real red girl died 15 years ago, and your revenge should have ended long ago. " The woman slowly turns her head and finally calms down in front of Gao Cheng's gentle eyes. She looks at Cheng Xiang's real face again, and seems to recognize the reality. With a cry, she puts all the pain of more than ten years into the cry.
