Chapter 993 Missing a Person!

"what?"

Puzzled, Police Officer Megure couldn't keep up with Kudo Shinichi's train of thought, so he couldn't help asking.

"Last night, after attacking Dr. Ali, the murderer went to Mr. Xu Hongshu's house, hid in Mr. Xu Hongshu's bedroom closet, and waited to ambush Mr. Xu Hongshu. But Mr. Xu Hongshu's home , usually there are servants around, so it is difficult to sneak in quietly. But it just so happened that during the day, the murderer who replaced Mr. Xu Hongshu's eye drops broke the door of Xu Hongshu's villa. A window, in this way, it will give the murderer a chance to sneak into the villa at night..."

So, listening to Police Officer Megure's question, Kudo Shinichi thought about it and explained:
"And considering the time interval between when the murderer attacked Dr. Ali and when Mr. Asahi Hiroki was killed, within such a short period of time, the murderer was able to find the gap in the window that could help sneak into Mr. Asahi Hiroki's house. It can be seen that the murderer should It was known in advance that the window there was broken... So, the murderer who broke the window during the day and the murderer who killed Mr. Xu Hongshu at night are entirely possible to be related! Are you right, Mr. Zhizhi?"

Saying that, Kudo Shinichi asked Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone.

"Yes."

Yes, Gao Yuan replied:
"So, based on the above analysis, I basically concluded last night that Zemu Fair was the mastermind of the whole incident, and the so-called imitation criminal was also his way to confuse the public.".
"But, based on these alone, can it really be concluded that Mr. Sawaki is the mastermind?"

In this regard, the police officer Shiratori on the side couldn't help but curiously said:

"Indeed, judging from the fact that Lawyer Fei Yingli likes chocolate, Mr. Sawaki may be right to be the murderer who caused the previous incidents. But as for the latter, the judgment of the connection between the two murderers may be a bit far-fetched Just judging from the fact that the murderer of Mr. Xu Hongshu may have used the fact that the murderer smashed the window of Xu Hongshu's house to enter the villa during the day, this is not a strong proof, right?"

"That's right, judging by these alone, it's true that everything is just speculation."

Gao Yuan did not deny Officer Shiratori's statement, but immediately, Gao Yuan turned around and said:

"That's why today I asked Officer Sato and Officer Takagi to set up this bureau here! This is to determine whether our previous judgment is accurate!"

Speaking of this, everyone present couldn't help looking at Miwako Sato and Tsutomu Takagi. After all, what happened in this underwater restaurant today was mainly carried out by Miwako Sato and Tsutomu Takagi.

In this regard, facing the eyes of everyone, Miwako Sato began to explain:

"That's right, after we realized that Mr. Zemu Fairy might be the murderer yesterday, because we knew that Mr. Zemu would come here this morning to meet Mr. Shang Shengyi, we came here ahead of time to make some preparations in advance. Let Mr. Sawaki expose the suspicion himself. But I didn't expect..."

Saying that, Miwako Sato sighed helplessly, which inevitably made the people present a little strange. They didn't understand why Miwako Sato suddenly showed such an expression——

"When we came here, we found that Mr. Shang Shengyi had been killed..."

Feeling very regretful, Takagi She who was on the side couldn't help telling the truth.

"What did you say? Mr. Shang Shengyi already!"

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed. They never expected that Shang Shengyi, who had never shown up before, was actually killed.

"That's right. Mr. Shang Shengyi was killed in this underwater restaurant last night."

At this moment, Gao Yuan's voice continued to come from Miwako Sato's phone:
"According to Mr. Shang Shengyi's name, the word 'Shang' can represent 'six' and 'eight' at the same time, so theoretically speaking, it is entirely possible that the murder of Shang Shengyi happened in the following order. a victim.

"But the problem is that if Shang Shengyi is 'eight', then he repeated it with Mr. Zemu. So I felt strange at the time. Logically speaking, in such continuous incidents, the murderer himself could be disguised as the victim To avoid suspicion. But if the target corresponding to "eight" becomes Mr. Shang Shengyi, then Mr. Zemu, who is already suspected in our opinion, will appear a bit abrupt in this incident. So today, I I want to see Mr. Sawaki's actions even more after he came here.

"Then, when I heard the list of people present today reported to me by Police Officer Takagi, I noticed that basically all the numbers of the remaining targets were collected, but there was no 'six'. At this time I am even more convinced that Shang Shengyi does represent the 'six', but the murderer killed him in advance. It can be seen that for the murderer, the order of the murder is not important, he just wants to use this to kill the person he wants to kill! "

"However, in this case, it is entirely possible that the crime was committed by two murderers who have not communicated at all?"

Officer Shiratori continued to ask in puzzlement.

"No, it's not right. Because according to the murderer's plan, Mr. Sawaki will be attacked during today's party to represent that he is the target corresponding to the number 'eight'!"

Gao Yuan explained.

"Hey?"

Immediately, upon hearing this, everyone showed puzzled expressions in bewilderment.

"The key to the problem is in the wine cellar."

To this Takagi replied:
"During our investigation last night, a mechanism was installed there in advance. As long as someone passes through a specific area, the mechanism will shoot arrows and attack the corresponding target. So normally, people who will enter the wine storehouse today, That is the corresponding target."

"So after receiving that paper, Mr. Sawaki, who was supposed to go to the liquor store to get the wine, should have been the target of the attack?"

Hearing this, Police Officer Mumu couldn't help saying.

"That's right, because of the existence of the paper prepared in advance, Mr. Zemu will be attacked, and making him the target corresponding to 'eight' should be a fact that will inevitably happen. In this way, as long as Mr. Zemu meets After the attack, the bodies of Mr. Shang Shengyi were discovered in order. Naturally, no one would suspect that there was a problem with the order of the murder. But I deliberately asked Officer Takagi to prevent this from happening, so that the designed attack did not happen. I just wanted to see Let's see how the murderer who designed this mechanism will react!"

Gao Yuan's voice continued to come from the phone:
"No matter which murderer it is, the current scene where everyone gathers is the perfect time to act, and disguising yourself as one of the victims is the best way to hide your identity, so I judge that this incident The murderer will appear at this scene no matter what, not only Mr. Zemu who I have discovered the flaw, but also another accomplice who helped Mr. Zemu kill Mr. Asahihiroki and made Mr. Zemu's alibi!"

"That is to say, no matter what, wise brother, do you think that besides Mr. Zemu, the murderer is actually among all of us?"

Inspector Mumu asked.

"That's right. Police officer Takagi took the wine in advance and made the key of the wine storage impossible to find, which directly disrupted the murderer's plan, and the murderer will definitely notice something is wrong because of this. Therefore, for the sake of nights and dreams, the murderer must think Do your best to attack in advance, so that Officer Sato, who has ambushed in advance, can catch the murderer..."

Gao Yuan continued to explain:
"However, I thought that Mr. Zemu should be aware that he was suspected and would not do it himself, so that the one who was caught should be the accomplice, but..."

As he was talking, Kudo Shinichi, who was present at the scene, suddenly looked around and suddenly found——

"No! One is missing!"
