Chapter 908 The Murderer's Story Takes Another Twist

After a long while, Kentaro Izumi finally realized something, and then showed confusion and bewilderment, which quickly turned into anger.

"I see!"

He displayed a wide range of emotions, but Xia Chuan was too lazy to read them carefully and asked directly, "Tell me quickly, your time is running out."

"She's my wife, she must be my wife!"

"Huh?" ×n
Everyone present had beady eyes.

This turn of events was rather abrupt.

A dozen minutes later, a group of nearly twenty people arrived at Izumi Kentaro's house in a sightseeing bus on Poseidon Island.

"Are you sure this is related to your wife, and that she wanted to poison you?"

Inspector Megure still couldn't believe it; a murder case had suddenly turned into a family drama.
No, this is more like a dark family drama. They've poisoned someone, and with a significant amount of cyanide, clearly aiming to kill Kentaro Izumi.

"It must be that poisonous woman. She was thinking of divorcing me before, but this morning, I don't know what got into her, she suddenly opened a bottle of beer and was going to confess to me. At that time, I was in a hurry to set up my stall and make money, so I didn't have time to pay attention to her. I never expected that she would poison the beer!"

"So why is there beer at a music festival?"

Xia Chuan's lips twitched involuntarily, and as he asked the question, he seemed to already have a vivid image in his mind.

This approach certainly aligns with the personality of someone who would resell the free keychains.

"I thought it would be a waste if I didn't drink it, so I decided to bring it to the music festival. After all, it's the same brand, and it just opened in the morning, so it's the same price to sell to tourists."

Everyone's face darkened several shades. They were all tourists, and they immediately empathized with what Izumi Kentaro said.

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Inspector Megure was tired of listening. Others had dark faces because they were tourists, but he had dark faces because he had to go to work every day. At least others had the opportunity to travel and sightsee, but he could only face suspects or Kogoro Mouri every day.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Although Kentaro Izumi secretly wished he could tear the other person to pieces, he absolutely could not show it, because if the other person escaped and the murderer could not be found, he would be the one to take the blame.

"Wife?"

When I opened the door, the expected welcome did not appear.

When I entered the living room, there was still no one there.

When I went to the kitchen, it was still empty, and the dishes and utensils left over from breakfast were still on the table.

"A rather sloppy family," Ai Haibara muttered under her breath, then frowned and walked out.

Kaito looked around and followed them out.

The others were all very curious about what kind of sparks would fly when Kentaro Izumi met his wife, and their expectations were extremely high.

"That's strange, could he have gone out?"

"Impossible, her bicycle and electric scooter are both at home. She would definitely take the electric scooter when she goes out."

Kentaro Izumi knew his wife well; someone who wouldn't even take two steps would never walk out of the house.

Kentaro Izumi searched each room one by one, with Natsukawa following behind. The more they went, the more they felt that something was wrong.

"Go up to the second floor!"

He suddenly spoke, and he was speaking to Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure paused for a moment, but Takagi and Sato reacted quickly and rushed up the stairs.

Xia Chuan explained from behind, "I didn't notice it just now, but I just remembered. There were quite a few shoes in the entryway when I came in, but one pair of shoes was strange. Izumi Kentaro is a bit chubby and has relatively large feet, but there was a pair of men's shoes that were at least two sizes too small placed at the door."

"What are you going to do!"

As soon as I got to the second floor, I heard a gasp from ahead, and it turned out to be someone I knew.

"Kuroba-kun's voice, didn't he just go out?"

Officer Takagi pushed open the door, and a pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. The bloodstains on the floor were a sight to behold, making his scalp tingle.

A gust of wind blew in, and looking at the open window, I saw an arm hanging on the windowsill.

"Brother Xia Chuan, someone was trying to jump out of the window to escape, but I stopped them!"

Kaito Kuroba's voice came from below the window.

Before Takagi could react, Sato had already darted out, leaping over the pool of blood to the window and grabbing the hand hooked on the windowsill.

Xia Chuan glanced at it briefly before turning his attention back to the room.

This should be a bedroom. We found it when we were looking for Izumi Kentaro's wife downstairs. It seems that the two of them are sleeping in separate rooms. This should be Mrs. Izumi's room.

The room was covered in blood. A woman's corpse lay between the room and the toilet. Upon closer inspection, the lower half of the body had been reduced to mangled, bloody pieces of flesh, scattered on the floor. Inside the toilet, a black suitcase contained a head with hair stained with dark red blood.

Compared to the room, there was even more blood in the toilet. Blood was splattered on the floor, the walls, and every other place that could be considered above ground. The smell of rust and blood was pungent, like a living hell.

"Liang Liangzi"

Kentaro Izumi also arrived at the door, and upon seeing the bedroom, which resembled a living hell, he immediately knelt on the ground, his mind blank and buzzing.

The others gasped at the sight. Sonoko, Ran, and Aoko glanced at it, then covered their mouths and rushed out of the room to vomit.

The others weren't much better off; Kyogoku Makoto's wheat-colored face almost turned black.

Although he was very strong in combat, he had never killed anyone. Normal dead bodies might not have made him flinch, but what was in front of him was a real dismembered body, with body parts and internal organs scattered all over the ground, comparable to a pig slaughtering scene.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Kogoro Mori rushed out in a fluster, mainly because he had drunk too much beer and felt a bit nauseous.

"Ania, let's go out first."

Joel glanced at her and then turned around and picked up Anya. The little girl stared wide-eyed, trying to see what was inside, waving her arms and legs, but she couldn't escape her mother's clutches.

"It seems this matter is more complicated than we thought."

"Yes, it's all because of that Grim Reaper."

Shinichi Kudo paused, feeling that Inspector Megure was questioning him, but he had no proof.

"They've dismembered him like this, what kind of deep hatred could they have?"

"Let me go, don't force me!"

A roar came from the windowsill. Sato Miwako ignored it completely, stepped on the windowsill with her high heels, and with a forceful push, threw a man inside.

Like putty, it was slapped onto the ground with a "smack".

The man was good-looking and appeared to be no more than thirty years old, but his face and body were covered in blood, and he was writhing on the ground like a bloodthirsty demon returned from hell, which was extremely terrifying.

"It's you, Kurosawa! I knew it was you!"

Without any explanation, Kentaro Izumi charged forward to fight the other man to the death.

He punched the other man in the face, knocking out a tooth and causing blood to flow from his mouth, making him look terrifying.

"Izumi, hehehe, you're back! See? I've gotten rid of that annoying woman in your house. Aren't you happy?"

The man called Kurosawa simply wiped his mouth, a maniacal smile spreading across his face. He laughed and opened his arms, seemingly gesturing for Izumi Kentaro to continue.

"I'm so happy, hahaha."

"Cough cough cough-"

The man was laughing and coughing at the same time, his face flushed red, but because his face was covered in blood, it was impossible to tell unless you looked closely.

His eyes glowed red, and those who saw him felt a chill run down their spines.

Inspector Megure forced himself to suppress his nausea and anger and stepped forward to separate the two.

After a fierce fight, Kentaro Izumi was covered in blood, but he didn't care, or rather, he couldn't care. The blood on the ground and the half-dead body by the toilet door said it all.

This good friend of his must be the man who had an affair with his wife. He had long suspected that his wife was having an affair, but he never expected that it would be his good friend.

It's one thing to cheat on your wife, but to do it all the while is to clean it up. If you had come back any later, you probably wouldn't have even seen her dead body.

That hatred instantly overwhelmed the fear of the corpse.

It wasn't because he loved his wife that much; after living separately for several years, their feelings for each other had long since faded. But so many people brazenly discovered their wives' infidelity and had them murdered by their lovers. Poseidon Island is only so big; this news would spread throughout the entire island in no time.

"Heh heh heh, am I supposed to die?"

"Isn't it you who deserves to die the most?"

Kurosawa Shoichi laughed maniacally, as if he were a madman: "Then tell me, how did that beast of mine become your son? I've been raising them for two or five years, and only this year did I find out that I've been raising someone else's son all along!"

"."

There was a full ten seconds of silence.

Those who understood and those who didn't fell silent.

What kind of show is this? Today has been truly eye-opening!

Xia Chuan's mouth dropped open. The matter was becoming increasingly mysterious, and it seemed that who poisoned the beer was no longer so important.

"Strange, how come you're still alive?"

Suddenly, Kurosawa Shoichi seemed to remember something, his eyes gradually cleared, and he looked at Izumi Kentaro with a puzzled expression.

"If your wife hadn't given you that bottle of beer, you should be dead."

"Is that bottle of beer yours?" Inspector Megure was startled and stared at him intently.

Having been discovered murdering and dismembering someone, Kurosawa Shoichi no longer had any intention of hiding it. He recklessly said, "That's right, it was originally meant for his wife, but that woman actually wanted me to divorce her. How could I agree to that? Divorce means giving my wife half of my assets, which is tens of millions of yen. I can't possibly agree to that."

"So you're planning to kill her with poisoned beer?" Xia Chuan asked.

Kurosawa Akira nodded: "She actually threatened me that if I don't get a divorce, she'll expose our affair and I'll definitely lose the divorce case. I won't get any money and it will be even worse. She actually dared to threaten me with something like this."

"That's why I brought beer to her this morning. It contained cyanide that I got through special channels, enough to poison a black bull. But after we had only exchanged a few words, Izumi, who was delivering the beer to the brewery, suddenly came back, so I had to hide upstairs."

“After Izumi went to the music festival, I found out that she had given Izumi a beer laced with cyanide. At that moment, she was about to do *that* with me. When she went back to the room to take off her clothes, I took advantage of her back being to me and smashed her to death with an ashtray.”

"So that's your motive. Anything else?" Officer Takagi made a note of the situation.

After this explanation, the situation is basically consistent with what Izumi Kentaro said, and it can be confirmed that the murderer is not Izumi Kentaro.

However, the twist was a bit too much to bear. It turned out that it wasn't Izumi's wife, but his wife's lover, and the key point is that this lover was Izumi's good friend!

More importantly, this good friend's son turned out to be Izumi's son.

Inspector Takagi was already a bit confused about the intricacies of the case, but in short, there was no doubt that Akira Kurosawa was the murderer.

"So my wife didn't know the wine was poisoned?"

Kentaro Izumi suddenly came to his senses. He thought that the two of them were planning to kill him together. Kurosawa thought that he was already dead outside, so he killed his wife as well. He never expected that the other party's target was not him.

"The reason you two became friends is probably because you share a similar stingy personality, right?"

One is stingy even with beer and keychains, the other is reluctant to divorce because he's worried about his wife taking his share of the assets, and the other is so driven by extramarital affairs that he simply breaks off the extramarital affairs. Aren't these all signs of being stingy?

This is not just simple stinginess; even the most miserly person wouldn't be this bad.

The others were speechless. It was unbelievable that Xia Chuan could notice all this. The bloody atmosphere at the scene was so intense that even the police had to give it a wide berth. Kudo Shinichi, sweating profusely, covered his mouth and forced himself to suppress the urge to vomit, yet he was still able to continue analyzing the situation.

So what?
Xia Chuan could only say that such things were nothing unusual; he had seen far more gruesome scenes from the normal underworld of spies and assassins.

Didn't you see that Joel didn't even frown?
Although she was a beautiful rose, as the Thorn Princess, she had actually done things like dismemberment before. Some wicked people also met the same fate, only not in such a fragmented way.

Kurosawa Shoichi's goal was probably to chop up the body, take it away in a suitcase, and then clean up the scene a little.

After all, Izumi was already dead in his eyes, and he had plenty of time to dispose of the body. Moreover, the other party's death would basically have nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, this guy's stinginess saved his life.

The two men, both cuckolded, were still staring at each other, but Xia Chuan had long since lost interest in staying.

It has now been confirmed that there is no assassin who specifically poisons people; it's all just personal grudges and feuds. Although it's quite bizarre, it's just something to watch for a laugh. Once the initial shock passes, it's not so bad in retrospect.

"Uh"

Suddenly, a strange sound entered Xia Chuan's ears.

Turning his head, he saw Shinichi Kudo holding his forehead, looking like he was about to collapse. His hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Shinichi, are you alright?" Inspector Megure asked with concern.

From the moment they met, he sensed that Shinichi Kudo seemed to be in a bad state, just like the last time they met.

His face was pale, his steps were unsteady, and he was sweating profusely; he looked like he had overworked his kidneys.
