Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

Yuya looked at the small bungalow and couldn't help asking: "Is this the crime scene?"

"Yes." Yamamura Cao gave an affirmative answer.

Yuya touched his chin: "Although it's a bit impolite, is this room the bridal chamber? The deceased seems to be getting married with Akaya Taro the next day."

Yamamura Cao was stunned and replied: "No, this is just the crime scene. The bride's body was found here. Their bridal chamber is over there..."

Yamamura Cao pointed to the distance, where there was a two-story small western-style house. From the outside, it seemed to have been renovated recently, and there were many wedding decorations.

Yuya nodded slightly, pointed to the small bungalow and asked: "Can I go in and take a look?"

Yamamura Cao hurriedly said: "Of course, Kamiya-kun, please let me know if you need anything."

Yamamura Cao was very cooperative. He had already gotten a lot of credit from Maori Kogoro and Yuya. If he could solve this case, he could add another credit to his resume.

A police officer came forward to open the door. Yuya and Miyano Shiho put on shoe covers and entered the house. They saw a messy room at a glance.

Yamamura Cao said: "This place has been kept as it is. Except for the body sent for autopsy, everything else has not been moved."

"What are the results of the autopsy?"

The body is not there, so Yuya can only know the situation of the deceased through the police's inspection results.

Yamamura Cao looked at the contents recorded in the police manual and said: "There are many scars on the body of the deceased, both new and old. We suspect that the deceased suffered a long period of abuse before his death, but according to our visits, the villagers did not know about this. In addition, according to the autopsy results, the deceased seemed to have suffered abuse on the day of the murder.

The bones of the deceased's chest were broken by a heavy weapon. According to the autopsy results, it was a fatal injury.

After killing the deceased, the murderer cut off her head. At that time, the whole room was full of blood. I was shocked when I saw it!"

Yamamura Cao looked frightened. It seemed that the scene was very tragic at that time.

Yuya pointed at the dark red marks on the wall and the floor and asked, "So these marks are bloodstains?"

Yamamura Cao nodded repeatedly.

Yuya pondered for a few seconds. How much did the murderer hate the deceased to kill in such a cruel way?

"According to the investigation at that time, the biggest suspect is Akaya Taro?"

Yamamura Cao nodded: "Yes, during the time period of the crime, there were three people who did not have a clear alibi. Akaya Taro's personal belongings were found at the scene, and there were only his and the deceased's fingerprints on them.

In addition, someone witnessed a fierce quarrel between the two of them at night the day before the deceased was killed, so we initially inferred that he was the first suspect, but we didn't expect him to escape..."

"I see." Yuya nodded slightly. Generally speaking, in this case, Akaya Taro is indeed a big suspect.

But since the other party entrusted him to find the real murderer, whether the murderer is him or not, Yuya has to investigate it carefully.

Yuya turned around and checked in the room, and soon found some strange marks next to the drawing of the location of the deceased's body.

He extended his index finger and touched it. It was a little slippery. He couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "Is this candle oil?"

Yamamura Cao hurriedly said: "This may be used by the murderer to torture the deceased. We found traces of burns from wax oil on the body of the deceased."

Youye frowned slightly. What kind of mentality did this murderer have? He deliberately used candles to torture people?

Thinking of the new and old scars on the deceased, a bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He asked: "Are those burns all new?"

Yamamura Cao was stunned and replied: "Some are new and some are old."

Youye touched his chin. There are new and old ones. Is it really what he guessed?

If it is true, it will be interesting.

"What is the relationship between the three suspects and the deceased?" Youye turned around and asked.

Shancun Cao flipped a page of the book, looked at it and said: "According to the confessions and the testimonies of the villagers, the four people knew each other, but no one provided clues that could serve as a motive for the murder. The quarrel that day seemed to have happened suddenly."

"Where was the quarrel?"

"It was in this house."

"Who is the owner of the house?"

"Akatani Dalang."

"What?" You was stunned.

Shancun Cao looked at the manual and smiled awkwardly: "The owner of the house is indeed Akatani Dalang, and there are some bad rumors among the villagers. The two seem to meet here secretly often."

"···Aren't these two an engaged couple? Now is not the past. Engaged couples can meet, right? Is it necessary to be sneaky?"

"Uh, in fact, it is not,” Shancuncao touched his head, “it is just a rumor spread privately, and I am not aware of it. And the villager only saw the back and thought that one of them looked like Chigu Dalang, and the owner of this house was Chigu Dalang, so he thought so.

Because there is no actual evidence, the deceased was killed, and Chigu Dalang escaped, so we have no way to investigate further. ”

“Is that so…” Yuya touched his chin. The police must have investigated the conventional route, but they did not make any progress. They still believed that Akaya Taro was the murderer.

Even if he was not the murderer, a month had passed since the case, and even if there was any evidence, it might have been destroyed.

So if Yuya wanted to solve the case, he had to find another way and look for clues from some special angles.

He decided to meet the villager who knew the rumor.

Under the leadership of Yamamura Cao, Yuya met the villager, a woman in her fifties.

Hearing that Yuya was looking for her, the woman immediately showed a bright smile, her whole face wrinkled together, and her eyes seemed to glow green: "Oh! What do you want to talk to me about, handsome boy?"

Miyano Shiho couldn't help frowning slightly.

Yuya's eyebrows jumped, and he took a step back calmly: "Auntie, I want to ask you something."

The woman smiled and said, "Anything is fine, do you want to come into my room and sit down and talk? ”

Youya waved his hands repeatedly to refuse: "No need, I'll leave after asking a few questions."

The aunt looked at the Yamamura Cao and several police officers beside her, curled her lips and said: "You ask."

Youya coughed lightly: "I heard from Officer Yamamura that you have seen the deceased and Akatani Dalang having a tryst in that room?" Youya pointed to the bungalow at the crime scene.

The aunt covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh, you are also interested in this? Let me tell you, I saw the woman and a man enter the house with my own eyes, and I knew that the man was Dalang from the back. "

Youya asked: "Back? Are you sure just by looking at the back? Is there any feature that makes you so sure?"

The aunt was stunned, and looked at Youya with some surprise: "You guessed all this? That's right, Dalang happened to have a leg injury those days, and it was a bit inconvenient to walk. I saw that person walking a little limping, and the back was very similar. Who else could it be but Dalang? "

"Leg injured?" Youye couldn't help but frowned. His intuition told him that this leg injury seemed to be a key. "Are there any other special places?"

The aunt recalled and said, "Well, I overheard a strange sound coming from inside..." Noticing the strange looks of everyone, the aunt blushed and explained quickly, "It's not that kind of sound, it's just... how to say it, it seems like being beaten and holding back from making a sound... There's nothing else. I was afraid of being discovered by the people inside, so I didn't dare to stay too long."

Youye showed a subtle expression on his face. It wouldn't be like what he guessed, right?

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Youye thanked him and left quickly.

The aunt looked at him with a dangerous look.

He came to the police car that was holding Akaya Taro, and Youye knocked on the window.

The window was lowered, and inside was a police officer in charge of guarding and Akaya Taro.

Youye asked, "Mr. Akaya, did you get your leg injured some time ago? "

Akatani Dalang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, how did you know?"

You also nodded slightly, but did not answer and continued to ask: "Apart from you, are there any other people injured?"

Akatani Dalang shook his head: "Probably not, I don't know too much."

"Then, did you and your fiancée meet in that house privately?"

Hearing this question, Akatani Dalang showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face: "You, how did you know? Sometimes it does..."

You also frowned. Could it be that the man the aunt saw was Akatani Dalang?

He thought for a while and asked: "What is the reason for your quarrel?"

Akatani Dalang looked very embarrassed, hesitating and not speaking.

You also knocked on the car door and said seriously: "Mr. Akatani, I hope you don't hide anything. Anything may be the key clue for me to find the real murderer. "

Akatani Dalang gritted his teeth and said, "It's like this, because I found a new scar on her body..."

"New scar?"

"Yes, I asked her why, and she said that I did it, and I remembered it wrong. Of course I didn't believe it, I remember every scar on her body very clearly, and I was very sure that it was not me, so we quarreled..."

Yuya's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little speechless. This pair of playfulThe one on the side was quite flowery, and Akaya Dalang was even more exaggerated, even remembering the scars so clearly?

Yamamura Cao and Miyano Shiho on the side showed confused expressions. What were these two talking about?

"Kamiya-kun, what are you talking about?" Yamamura Cao asked in a low voice.

Yuya hesitated, glanced at Miyano Shiho - the other party tilted his head and returned a puzzled expression, coughed hard and said: "Officer Yamamura, can you tell me about the other two suspects?"

Yamamura Cao nodded: "Of course no problem."

The other two suspects are named Kamikawa and Inoue.

Kamikawa is 65 years old this year. His wife has passed away for many years. His son has been working outside all year round and has been living alone.

According to his confession, he was drinking alone at home at the time of the crime.

The police did find the bottles of wine that had been drunk in Kamikawa's house.

It's just that the simple bottles of wine cannot be used as a perfect alibi, and this old man has a good alcohol tolerance. Judging from the number of bottles of wine at that time, he would not get drunk.

Kamikawa and the deceased did not have much contact, and their relationship was very ordinary. At most, they would smile and nod to say hello when they met on the road.

Inoue was a 29-year-old single woman, about the same age as the deceased.

At the time of the crime, she was alone at home watching a TV rerun on TV, and she also had no clear alibi.

Inoue had a good relationship with the deceased and Akaya Taro, and often went shopping with the deceased.

Yuya touched his chin and thought: "Let's go meet this Inoue first."

Under the leadership of Yamamura Cao, Yuya met Inoue.

At this moment, Inoue was wearing a beige sweater and a knee-length skirt.

Yuya glanced and saw that there seemed to be a faint scar just below her knee.

"Ms. Inoue, excuse me, the scar on your leg is..."

Inoue showed a surprised expression, as if she didn't expect Yuya to find the scar. She subconsciously retracted her legs to cover the scar, and pulled her collar abruptly, explaining awkwardly: "I got hurt accidentally, and I've treated it very lightly, but I didn't expect you to find it."

Noticing the other party pulling the collar, Yuya smiled faintly: "I have a keen observation ability."

Inoue forced a smile, looked at Yamamura So and several other policemen, and asked: "What do you want to see me for?"

Yamamura So explained: "This famous detective Kamiya has something to ask you."

"Detective?" Inoue looked at Yuya in surprise, such a young boy?

Yuya smiled slightly: "I want to ask, what were you doing exactly at the time of the crime?"

Inoue twisted his body a little awkwardly and said: "Haven't I told the police many times that I was alone at home watching a TV rerun on TV..."

"Oh? Can you tell me the general plot?" Yuya said.

Inoue was stunned for a moment, made a look of recollection, and then very skillfully narrated the plot of the TV series.

Yuya raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be very familiar with the plot? Have you watched it several times?"

Inoue was a little surprised, and said stiffly: "Yes, yes, because it is a very popular TV series, so I have watched it, this is the second time."

"I see," Yuya narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "So, do you remember the commercials that were inserted at that time?"

"Advertisements?" Inoue was stunned, "This... When the commercials were inserted, I went to the bathroom and didn't pay attention to what commercials were..."

"So..." Yuya nodded thoughtfully.

Inoue looked at Yuya nervously, then at Yamamura So: "Officer, if there is nothing else, I think..."

Yamamura So looked at Yuya.

Yuya smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Excuse me."

After sending Yuya and others away, Inoue leaned against the door and let out a long breath, his face suddenly gloomy.

Yuya looked back at the closed door, and the scars on Inoue's legs and the action of pulling the collar flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"You seem to have an idea?" Miyano Shiho asked in a low voice.

Yuya smiled: "It's just a guess, let's go, let's go meet that Kamikawa again."
