Chapter 147 It’s still too early to drink water

Youya glanced at the people who were still in shock and hadn't come back to their senses, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Next, I will explain the mystery of the will-o'-the-wisp."

"As we all know, the formation of will-o'-the-wisp is generally the natural behavior of scales, but it is difficult to reach the ignition point of scales at the low temperature here."

"Mr. Assistant, please drive the car over there." Yuya said.

The assistant nodded and drove the car onto land.

Then, Yuya directed the employees to spread hay on the bridge again and then pour gasoline on it.

"The freezing point of gasoline is very low, about minus 60 degrees Celsius, so there is no need to worry about it freezing." Youya gestured that the gasoline on the bridge showed no signs of solidification.

"Then, light it."

Youya borrowed a lighter, lit it, and threw it onto the bridge in a cool manner.

"Boom!" The flames began to burn.

The person who borrowed the lighter opened his mouth and wanted to say, "You don't have to throw away my lighter."

Forget it, it's a cheap stuff anyway, so let it go. Now that I've seen the modus operandi of this crime, I can brag about it for a long time when I go back.

The flames burned fiercely, and soon the ice and snow bridge melted under the high temperature and collapsed with a loud bang.

Everyone subconsciously took a step back.

"In this way, the bridge of ice and snow disappeared without a trace. This is also the truth about the old man seeing the will-o'-the-wisp." Youye said slowly.

"Also, the old man saw the will-o'-the-wisp at the memorial, but he didn't mention the car. I guess Miss Zhenli took this route back to the annex."

"The old man saw the will-o'-the-wisp at the memorial, and I also saw the will-o'-the-wisp on the surveillance camera. The intersection of the two directions is here."

Yuya looked at Tamura Mari and said calmly, "Well, Mari-chan, is there anything wrong with what I said so far?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Mari Tamura was silent for a while, and finally laughed at herself.

"Mari-chan, why? You and Kaori have such a good relationship..." Hiraki Yuko said blankly.

"Why?" Tamura Mari sneered, her innocent and lovely appearance now turned a little ferocious, "You know nothing."

"This woman, not only does she have a messy private life, she even drugged me and sent me to the bed of the man she was secretly having an affair with."

"Gao Ben, Nan Chuan, these stinky men actually used money to... I will never forgive them even if I die. They even want to use money to shut me up. Ugh!"

Mari Tamura's originally innocent and lovely face was now filled with ferocity and anger, and she was screaming in a low voice like a madman.

“What did you say?!” Jiuci Hairen’s face changed drastically. His people actually did such a thing?

Hiragaki Yuko couldn't help but say: "But, what you said to the director about this kind of thing..."

Tamura Mari interrupted her angrily, "Shut up! You are also in the entertainment industry, don't you know what this industry is like? Even if I tell others, others will only think that I took the initiative to climb into someone else's bed for the role. If it is exposed, it will only mean that I am not satisfied with the role I got."

Hiragaki Yuko was silent for a moment, and tried to argue: "But Director Jiuci is not that kind of person..."

Tamura Mari sneered: "Do you really think so?"

Hiragaki Yuko was silent.

Jiuji Hairen's lips trembled, but he finally lowered his head without making any excuses.

As a director, how could he not have done anything with unspoken rules? It's just that he didn't use such despicable means as Nanchuan and the others. It was the actresses who took the initiative to find him for the roles.

"Haha," Tamura Mari sneered, "Do you think he just took advantage of you? No, he also did other things that shocked you."

Hiragaki Yuko widened her eyes: "What did you say?"

However, Tamura Mari was too lazy to answer her. She turned to look at Yuya and said coldly: "Great Detective, since you can crack my murder method, you must have figured out his secret, right?"

Jiuji Kaito suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuya in disbelief.

Yuu did not answer, but looked at Shiratori Renzaburo and asked, "Officer Shiratori, I remember you said that Himuro Kazusei has never had his photo published in the newspaper because he has severe social anxiety, right? Apart from his family and classmates, almost no one knows his true face."

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded: "Yes, I can be sure of this, and it is also very easy to find out."

Yuya continued: "Then the question is, in the accident 10 years ago, how did Mr. Nanchuan and his men know the identity of Himuro Kazusei?"

"There is only one answer. That is, among the people present at the time, there was someone who knew the true identity of Himuro Ikki and instigated them to pretend to be Himuro Ikki in order to seize his assets."

"Who on earth would do such a thing?" asked Yuko Hiraki in confusion.

Yuya took out a piece of paper. It was a report about the car accident sent to Shiratori Jinsaburo by the Hokkaido Police Headquarters.

"According to this report, there were three survivors in the car accident. One of them was Himuro Kazusei. One of the other two died of illness five years ago, and the last one..."

Yuya slowly turned around, slowly raised his hand and pointed at someone, and slowly said: "The person who knows the true identity of Himuro Ikki and conspired with Mizusawa Shozo and others to impersonate him is you, Kuji Kaito!"

Jiuci Hairen's face was extremely ugly. He was silent for a while. After a long while, he sighed and said slowly: "It's all for money."

"I had a series of failed investments and was in huge debt. I was on the run to avoid debt collectors. While riding that bus, I happened to see my former classmate Himuro Kazusei."

"I went up to him happily to say hello, but he acted like he didn't recognize me. Then I remembered that he had already become a famous painter with amazing wealth. Of course he wouldn't recognize a poor classmate like me. He probably thought I was after his money, right?"

"Actually, I was just happy to see my old classmate and wanted to chat with him."

"Then, there was the car accident. When I woke up, almost everyone in the car was dead, and Himuro Kazusei's body was lying next to me."

"Just then, Nanchuan and the others suddenly appeared. I saw Mizusawa who looked almost exactly like Himuro Issei, and a thought popped up in my mind that I couldn't help but think about."

"Later, I used the money from the ice room to pay off my debts, set up my current production company, became a director and had my own crew."

"My miserable life has been reborn since then."

Jiuji Hairen smiled bitterly: "Isn't it terrible for someone like me?"

Hiragaki Yuko suddenly realized: "So, the money that Nanchuan and the others wanted to use to shut up Marika-chan is..."

She found it strange. The salaries of the photographer and the sound engineer were not that high, and they were not from wealthy families. How much money could they afford to shut up Mari Tamura?

It would be different if it had the assets of Himuro Kazusei.

Even over the years, the two of them might have used the same method to harm many actresses, but only Tamura Mari dared to raise the butcher knife and chop down their enemies.

Tamura Mari suddenly spoke up, "That's right. I overheard them secretly talking about asking Bingshi Kazuo for money. I was originally wondering why they knew such a famous painter and could get money from him. Later, I deliberately got Nanchuan drunk and learned about the fake Bingshi from him."

Yosuke Minamikawa, Daisuke Takamoto, and Kaori Mitsuka are the people who directly harmed Mari Tamura, and Mizusawa Masazo, who gave them money, cannot escape either.

"But I didn't expect that you are the culprit of all this!"

Mari Tamura's eyes were filled with hatred.

If it wasn't for Jiuji Hairen's suggestion, if they hadn't pretended to be Bingshi Yisheng and had so much money, would Nanchuan and others not have taken advantage of their wealth to hurt her?

Would her life be different from what it is now?

······

Yuya finished talking about the case and took a sip of hot drink to moisten his throat.

"If it weren't for the coincidences that led me to the unexpected clues, this case might have been closed with the murderer being Mizusawa Shozo and committing suicide out of fear of punishment."

Miyano Shiho sighed: "There is such a complicated case."

She knew very well that Youya must have omitted some unnecessary content when he told her the story. In fact, when investigating the case, things must not have been as smooth as he said.

Perhaps only he himself knows the hardships involved.

Oh, no, Officer Shiratori who is investigating the case with him should also know.

"Well, there's actually something more complicated. It's a case that spanned several decades and involved several generations. But it's more complicated to explain, so I'll tell you about it another time."

Miyano Shiho looked up and found that the two had returned to the old house.

There is no light in the room, it seems my sister is still working overtime?

Youya touched his nose, his eyes darting around: "Won't you invite me in for a drink of water?"

"You wish." Miyano Shiho didn't understand what he meant and rolled her eyes at him. "Good night then~"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Good night." Youya replied softly.

Miyano Shiho turned around and just saw the corner of Yuya's clothes disappearing behind the wall.

She pursed her lips and said silently: It's a little too early to drink water now...
