Chapter 366 Irene Adler's Ridicule
Chapter 366 Irene Adler's Ridicule
"The murderer also gave you a note? Why didn't you take it out earlier if you had such a thing?"
"You didn't hear this mentioned in the statement Officer Shiratori gave you before?"
Hearing this, Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but interject.
How could the Metropolitan Police Department be in this state if these witnesses hadn't always submitted false testimonies and hidden evidence?
Obviously, the Investigation Division 1 is a very powerful department! They can handle cases on their own!
Fujisawa Toshiaki was a little hesitant, but looked at Xiang Yuanguang with a look that showed disapproval.
He reached into his pocket and took out the note left by someone unknown.
Of course, when Xiang Yuanguang said that it was a note left by the murderer, he still didn't quite believe it.
But this guy seems to have amazing fighting power and can also use magic, so it’s better not to confront him...
"Uh, well, I think this note is useless."
"After all, the murderer has been confirmed to be Kawazu Yuo... uh, the suspect has been confirmed to be him."
"The police also found the rare first edition of A Study in Scarlet in the room where he was resting."
"So I think it doesn't really matter whether I show this note or not..."
When the piece of paper that Fujisawa Toshiaki took out was unfolded, the information inside was revealed.
[A first edition of Sherlock Holmes' novel is hidden under the back seat of a car in the garage.]
[If you want to get this novel, please get it as soon as possible. ]
[Because other people have received this note, if you are late you will get nothing. ]
"The first Sherlock Holmes novel? Uh, the one in the testimony, A Study in Scarlet?"
"It sounds very expensive. After all, it has two entries: [First Edition] and [Collector's Edition]."
Takagi Wataru said thoughtfully.
Both Asai Narumi and Xiang Yuanguang simply ignored his meaningless remarks.
Asai Narimi, a medical consultant, remembered something at this moment.
"Xiang Yuan, fragments of the wooden box were found inside the vehicle that burned Oki Ayako to death."
"Only the words 'Blood' and 'Research' were left on the surface of the wooden box."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the bait used to lure Mr. Fujisawa and Ms. Oki."
Speaking of this, Asai Narimi said with some confusion.
"The murderer seems to attach great importance to the book "A Study in Scarlet". Is it because such books are expensive?"
"How is that possible? If the murderer is also a member of this tour group..."
Fujisawa Toshiaki shook his head violently. Although he didn't know who did it, one thing was certain.
That is——————
"Everyone who comes to Mycroft's Inn is able to pass the screening questions, they are true Sherlock Holmes fans!"
"If I get this kind of book, I will definitely treasure it and keep it as a treasure!"
"It's impossible to sell it for money or something! Besides, the wooden box that contained the book was burned, right?"
"Just put any fake first edition of A Study in Scarlet into that box."
"Then tell others that this is a rare first edition of A Study in Scarlet. People will definitely believe it!"
...The box that holds the book is special? From an economic point of view, is the box more valuable than the book?
Xiang Yuanguang raised his eyebrows. Are you trying to buy the casket and return the pearl to me?
Kento Toba seems to be a real Sherlock Holmes fan, and beyond that he is also a self-centered fanatic.
When the time comes, I will use "A Study in Scarlet" to make indirect inquiries and see if I can get any useful information.
Picking up the coffee cup and taking another sip, the hedgehog-headed man gently tapped his forehead with his fingers.
He brought the topic back to the original discussion item——————
"Mr. Fujisawa, I can tell you clearly that there is no such note among the police's evidence."
"That is to say, this note is a murder prop that was clearly given to you alone, asking you to die."
"When Kawazu Hiroo described the case to me, he told me that after Kanaya Hiroyuki's car fell off the cliff..."
"He went to check the vehicles in the garage and told you that the tires were punctured and the fuel tank was punctured."
When Xiang Yuanguang thought of Oki Ayako's death, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Speaking of which, this person's death was somewhat ridiculous. He knew there was a gasoline leak and still used an open flame?
Do you really not know that gasoline can evaporate in the air? You are obviously a fan of detective novels?
He shook his head and continued.
"That vehicle is a weapon against you, as long as you get inside the vehicle and then illuminate it with a lighter."
"The vehicle will burn you to death just like the explosion that killed Oki Ayako." "And it seems that there were only three lighters found at the crime scene."
"One is the lighter in Kanaya Hiroyuki's car that fell off the cliff, and the other is your lighter."
"The last one is Oki Ayako's lighter. I think you will understand now."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer said seriously.
"Because you and Oki Ayako had a lighter, you couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the car. Your first reaction was..."
"I used a lighter to light a flame to find the book A Study in Scarlet."
"And this trap was set for you, not Oki Ayako."
"The reason is simple. The real murderer is Ooki Ayako's boyfriend, Kento Toba."
"His murder targets didn't include his girlfriend at first!"
Kento Toba...is the real murderer?
Whether it is Takagi Wataru, Asai Narimi, or Fujisawa Toshiaki.
At this moment, I couldn't help but be shocked. Where did this come from?
"But Mr. Toba figured out Kawazu Hiroo's trick right away!"
"How about using the iron label of coffee to cut off the power, and then smashing the window with a chair to restore it..."
"And the weapon that Kawazu Hiroo used to attack me, the ice pick—"
"…If it was Kawazu Yuo who wanted to kill you, you would still be lying in the ICU ward of the hospital."
Xiang Yuanguang took another sip of coffee with a look that showed some concern for the fool.
He snapped his fingers and pulled out a form from the copied case materials.
That was the identity form of the suspect in this case, Kawazu Hiroo.
"He is not only a physical education teacher, but also has exceptional physical fitness."
"He'll grab the ice pick and give you a shovel, all the way up to your arm bone, maybe even chopping it off."
"If it was really him who did it, then I can only say it was intentional injury rather than attempted murder."
After all, female athletes can reach over the seats to install the wire within a few seconds when the roller coaster passes through the dark area.
After killing someone, he dismantled the wire and returned to his seat. This kind of Beika Town people have some extraordinary qualities.
I'm afraid Fujisawa Toshiaki has read too many novels and has lost his understanding of the real situation.
"…Uh, then, what was Toba Kento's motive for killing me and Kanaya Hiroyuki?"
Fujisawa Toshiaki, who is already middle-aged, swallowed his saliva, feeling inexplicably insulted about his intelligence.
But I couldn't help but continue asking.
"I have no relationship with Kento Toba. At most I met him once last year."
"It's impossible that if I look at him for one more second in the crowd, he will kill me, right?"
Having mentioned this, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers again.
"I asked you before, what's the name of the book you and Kanaya Hiroyuki published?"
"That book is the real reason why Kento Toba wants to kill both of you!"
Takagi Wataru suddenly perked up and recalled his conversation with Xiang Yuanguang in the car.
Afterwards, he made up his mind to seize this real opportunity to restore the image of the Metropolitan Police Department!
The young police officer turned around without hesitation and spoke loudly.
"It's The Mockery of Elizabeth Windsor, isn't it?"
"Kento Toba couldn't tolerate the existence of such a fictional character's unofficial history, so he killed people in anger!"
“……?” “?” “?”
When I put a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
Xiang Yuanguang almost dropped the coffee cup in his hand. He turned to look at Fujisawa Toshiaki and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Fujisawa, do you know now why Kento Toba wants to kill both of you?"
Fujisawa Toshiaki's face twitched and he felt the urge to hit someone.
He forced himself to suppress his anger, and then spoke in a muffled voice.
"I see, lawyer, my book is called... The Ridicule of Irene Adler!"
