Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Officer Takagi was taking notes: "So, where is Miss Kusano (Zhao Nuo Zhao) now, whose throat was cut?"

Xiaolan replied, "He's been taken to Haido Hospital by ambulance, along with his agent Ma Kuma Atsushi. He hasn't contacted us yet, though, so we don't know what his current situation is."

"Axun, Axun can't die." Yoko Okino's eyes were red. She originally thought that today would be a festive day, but who would have thought that it would turn into a tragedy in the end.

Seeing this, Hoshino Terumi said, "In that case, I'll call the hospital and ask about the situation."

Yue Yexue followed him and said, "Then I'll go with you. My father happens to be receiving treatment for diabetes at that hospital. I know their phone number."

"That's great, it's much more convenient."

After the two left, Inspector Megure quietly asked Maori Kogoro: "Is the person who cut Miss Kusano's throat among these people?"

378. Weapon

Maori Kogoro's face was serious: "I don't think so."

"But don't you always say that the first person to discover something is the most suspicious?" Inspector Megure said, looking at Kenzaki Osamu.

Seeing that the police were suspicious of him, Kenzaki Osamu shrugged helplessly: "Please, officer, I have no reason to kill Axun. Besides, it was Mr. Maori who asked me to go to the bathroom."

"Oh? Is that so, Maori-kun?"

Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "Because Miss Kusano hasn't come out of the bathroom, we are worried that she has fainted, so we asked Mr. Kenzaki to go and check on her."

"I see."

Maori Kogoro continued, "Also, there were a lot of blood drops in the corridor of the room all the way to the door. I opened the door and saw a raincoat, gloves full of holes, an eye drop bottle and a handkerchief outside."

After carefully examining them, Inspector Megure analyzed, "These things should have been used by the murderer."

She picked up the handkerchief again and said softly, "There's a little bit of lipstick on it."

Officer Takagi picked up the eye drop bottle next to him and said, "If this contains anesthetic, then the murderer must have covered Miss Kusano's mouth with a handkerchief before committing the crime, making her fall asleep before committing the crime."

"But who would do that?" Xiaolan interrupted.

Kenzaki Osamu seemed to have thought of something and said, "I think it must be a peeping Tom."

"Peeping Tom?"

Everyone looked at him.

Kenzaki Osamu explained, "Recently, Xun discovered that someone has been leaving strange letters outside the gate. They all say things like, 'I will come again, even if I die.' As the number of letters increases, the contents of the letters become more and more terrifying..."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "No wonder Miss Kusano called me like a different person when she heard me ring the doorbell."

Inspector Megure asked, "So, was the gate locked at the time of the incident?"

Okino Yoko thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be open. Maybe Xun felt that there were more of us, so he left the door unlocked."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly and analyzed, "In other words, after discovering the door was unlocked, this peeping Tom sneaked into the room and ran into Miss Kusano as she was about to come out of the bathroom. Because she saw his appearance, the murderer drugged Miss Kusano and then slashed her throat with a sharp knife. Finally, he left the bloodstained raincoat and gloves directly outside the door and escaped when no one was paying attention."

Maori Kogoro nodded in agreement: "This must be the truth."

Seeing that Maori Kogoro also agreed with his point of view, Inspector Megure immediately ordered: "Well, brother Takagi, you should go to the area near the apartment and ask around. It's not raining outside now. If the murderer comes wearing a raincoat, he will definitely be noticed by people nearby."

"Yes."

Officer Takagi received the order and prepared to leave.

Watanabe Toru reminded him at the right time: "However, this murderer is really amazing. When he escaped, he didn't even step on the blood on the floor."

"This shows that the murderer is very cautious." Kogoro Mouri said casually.

"That's even more strange. If the murderer is so cautious, how could he dare to sneak in after seeing so many shoes in the entrance?"

Watanabe Toru's words made everyone stunned, and then they began to think.

"Inspector Megure." Maori Kogoro seemed to have thought of something, his face solemn. "Could it be that the murderer was moving the blood-stained raincoat in his hand, deliberately letting the blood drip onto the floor, and then threw the object at the door, so that we would think he had escaped outside?"

Inspector Megure pinched his chin: "If the murderer is someone Miss Kusano has known for a long time (cbbf), he can call her out of the bathroom and knock her out when she is off guard. This is also something that can be done easily."

Having said that, everyone obviously understood the meaning.

Kenzaki Osamu said in disbelief: "Could it be that this murderer..."

"The murderer might be among us." Hoshino Terumi and Takeno Yuki came out of the living room after finishing their phone call. "Is that what you mean, officer?"

Inspector Megure remained silent.

It was obvious that Okino Yoko couldn't accept that this was the truth. She looked at Hoshino Terumi and said, "Terumi, you..."

Yue Yexue sighed, "Yoko, what Terumi said makes sense. The restroom where we take turns changing clothes is right between the living room and the bathroom. It's not impossible that someone secretly went there to kill someone."

Yoko Okino pursed her lips, and her expression looked very depressed.

Maori Kogoro naturally didn't want his idol to be suspected, so he immediately said: "No matter what, Miss Yoko is definitely not the murderer."

"Oh?" Inspector Megure looked at him: "Why is that, Maori brother?"

Xiaolan explained on her father's side: "Because when Miss Yoko was changing clothes, we were waiting for her outside, and then we stayed in the living room all the time without leaving."

Inspector Megure nodded in sudden realization.

"It seems that we police need to ask other people in detail about what happened at that time."

Hoshino Terumi stepped forward and said, "Before that, there's something important we should find first."

"Important things?" Inspector Megure was stunned.

"It's the murder weapon. If the sharp blade that cut Ah Xun was found in our bag or inside the room, it means the murderer was an insider. If it can't be found, it means it was done by an outsider. The murderer probably wouldn't have deliberately hidden the murder weapon and had to escape. Even if the blood on the knife was wiped clean, some hemoglobin would be left behind. Even if the amount is very small, it should still produce a bioluminescent reaction."

"No, that's right."

Inspector Megure didn't expect Hoshino Terumi to know so much. He was stunned for a moment before nodding and agreeing with her point of view: "I didn't expect you to know so much."

Hoshino Terumi said calmly, "I became interested in detective films because of the influence of someone."

Inspector Megure looked at her deeply, then turned to Takagi and said, "Takagi, you will be in charge of Mr. Kenzaki. Ask a few female officers to come over and take charge of these ladies. As for the others, divide them into several groups and find the murder weapon first."

"Yes," Officer Takagi replied, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, Officer, if Mr. Makuma, who went to the hospital with Miss Kusano, is the murderer, the murder weapon might be..."

379. Nails can also kill people

Inspector Megure frowned. This was indeed a problem that could not be ignored.

Maori Kogoro said beside him, "Don't worry, Officer Megure. When the ambulance took Miss Kusano away, I told the doctor to call me immediately if Mr. Kuma behaved in any strange way."

Inspector Megure's brows relaxed and he smiled, "That's no problem, Brother Maori. You've been very thoughtful."

"Hahaha, after all, I am an expert in this field." Kogoro Mouri laughed dryly and glanced at Toru Watanabe beside him.

I did this because of this kid's reminder.

……

After the search, no murder weapon was found on the bodies of the victims or in the room.

Inspector Megure pinched his chin and said, "So, the murder weapon must have been taken outside and disposed of by the murderer. In other words, we can rule out the possibility that the murderer is from here."

"police officer."

At this time, two police officers ran over, holding a stuffed doll in their hands, and said, "We found a bug inside the stuffed doll in the victim's bedroom. Also, the cabinets seemed to have been rummaged through."

"What!!"

Inspector Megure's face was solemn. "So, the murderer must have known clearly that Miss Kusano was engaged and bathing in the bathroom, even if he was outside."

"Yes," Officer Takagi added, "if the murderer is one of her BT fans, it's possible they could force her into submission."

Inspector Megure made a quick decision: "Then you should contact Miss Kusano's agency immediately and see if there is such a person among her fans."

"Yes, I'll check it out right away." Officer Takagi took the order and left.

After one hour.

Because there were no other clues, Inspector Megure could only helplessly pin his hopes on Kaoru Kusano, who was still in the hospital: "If we want to solve this case as soon as possible, we can only pray that Miss Kusano will recover and accept the police interrogation as soon as possible. She may have seen the murderer's appearance..."

As he was saying this, the phone at home suddenly rang.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then walked over to Yoko Okino and answered the phone with a nervous look on his face.

"Hello? Who are you? ...Yes, I'm Kaoru Kusano's friend... Is it...what? Kaoru?..."

"Yoko, what's wrong?"

"Was that call from the hospital?"

Seeing that Yoko Okino was actually crying, Yue Yexue and Hoshino Terumi asked hurriedly, and the others also looked at Yoko Okino nervously.

Yoko Okino hung up the phone, wiped her tears with her hands, and then smiled at everyone: "Axun is fine now. The doctor said the operation was very successful. She should be able to regain consciousness in a few hours."

The sudden good news finally brought joy to everyone's tense expressions.

Maori Kogoro looked at Kenzaki Osamu and said, "Then, Mr. Kenzaki should rush to the hospital as soon as possible and stay with Miss Kusano. After all, you are her future husband."

Kenzaki Osamu nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Officer Gao Mu disagreed. "That's not a good idea. The hospital is already surrounded by the media. If we go there now, things might get out of control."

Kenzaki Osamu breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, I'd better go later. It wouldn't be good if I caused a commotion and disturbed other patients. Besides, I don't want to cause misunderstandings among the media."

"Misunderstanding?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned and didn't understand why Kenzaki Osamu said that.

"Um...this..."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Kenzaki was about to explain, but Hoshino Terumi interrupted him and said, "Okay, you should be able to tell me the real purpose of this engagement party."

"The real purpose? What does this mean?"

Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Well, actually..." For a moment, Kenzaki Osamu didn't know how to answer this question.

No one noticed that Yue Yexue quietly left the living room and walked towards the kitchen.

Watanabe Toru looked around, sighed softly, and followed.

In the kitchen, Yue Yexue poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

At this moment, there was suddenly a sound of a door being pushed open behind her. Yue Yexue turned around in surprise and saw Watanabe Toru standing behind her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile on her face, and asked Watanabe Toru, "Little brother, do you want some water?"

Watanabe Toru looked into her eyes, which showed no trace of sadness or joy, and said calmly, "Ms. Yue Ye, you must be very disappointed. Things are not going as you expected."

"Eh?" Yue Yexue pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean, little friend?"

Watanabe Toru didn't try to hide anything and said directly, "The person who slit Miss Kusano's throat in the bathroom was actually you, Miss Yanyue, right?"

Yue Yexue was silent for a moment, still not taking Watanabe Toru's words to heart.

"Little boy, I know you want to imitate a detective solving a case, but where is the murder weapon? The thing that cut Ah Xun's neck, where is it? The police have searched everywhere in this house, and the thing is not on me. If you say I am the murderer, then can you tell me where the murder weapon is?"

. .... ....

Watanabe Toru said calmly, "Actually, everyone has been misled, thinking that the murder weapon must be a sharp blade like a knife. However, there is something that is just as sharp as a blade, such as fingernails."

"Eh?" Yue Yexue raised her hand and looked at her fake nails, then said with a smile: "The police have already checked this, but..."

"No," Watanabe Toru interrupted her. "I'm not talking about these stick-on nails. I'm talking about real nails, which are second only to teeth in hardness."

Yue Yexue's expression finally changed slightly.

Watanabe Toru continued, "Your nails are as sharp as knives after being sharpened. I imagine you used your thumb as a weapon, which is where you can exert force easily. Before committing the crime, you sharpened your nails to a point, and then immediately cut them off afterward. Finally, you simply placed the nails back on, so no one would suspect the weapon was hidden beneath them."

Yue Yesue's body swayed, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks. She leaned against the cabinet, as if enduring something.

"If that's true, then the pair of scissors I use to cut my nails should still be in this room."

380. It’s the first anniversary of Ayumi’s father’s death

Watanabe Toru said calmly, "That's why you're looking for it. Didn't you look in Miss Kusano's bedroom? Unfortunately, you didn't find the nail clippers."

"Then what did I use to cut my nails?" Yue Yexue asked.

"Of course you use your teeth," Watanabe Toru said firmly. "Bite the nail off with your teeth and flush it down the drain. That way, even if the police find the nail, they won't think it's the murder weapon."

"As for the evidence, it's the message you left on the clipboard. There's a lip print. There's blood on your lips from biting your nails, so..."
