Then, when she got there, she found Ryu Aizawa lying flat at home, his body half cold.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to class first?"
Rushing to Ryuhei Aizawa's house, the first person the boy saw was Karasuma standing beside him.
This girl's temper gets intense every time she encounters these cases, which makes him very helpless.
"I also want to find evidence as soon as possible and catch the murderer of Akina..." Kokarasuma muttered and retorted in a low voice.
"You are wrong to suspect that. Ryuhei Aizawa is not the murderer. He is just a victim used by the murderer to frame him."
"Huh? What what?"
After leaving this sentence, the boy did not discuss with the shocked Kokarasuma anymore, but looked at the scene first.
In the living room of the room, Ryuichi Aizawa fell face down on the floor, his hands tightly clutching his chest, his eyes wide open, his facial features distorted and hideous. He looked as if he had suffered great pain before his death, and there were traces of liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth.
His death was highly similar to those of the previous two victims, Akina Kanda and Sanae Miyamoto.
It was obvious that Ryuhei Aizawa also died of aconite poisoning, which the police had confirmed before the boy arrived.
At the same time, on the dining table next to him, there was an opened bottle of whiskey and an overturned goblet.
"Where was the aconite poison detected?" the boy asked.
"It's in the bottle."
The gloved detective pointed to the bottle of whiskey on the table.
"According to the test results of the forensic department, there are traces of Aconitum powder near the mouth of the bottle and on the inner side of the bottle extending downward.
We therefore speculate that the deceased should have poured the aconite powder into the bottle and then drank the poisoned wine to commit suicide. "
The boy did not respond. He looked at the bottle in front of him quietly and suddenly asked:
"Did you find the paper bag... or container used to store the Aconitum powder?"
"what?"
When the detective heard the boy's question, he was stunned.
"It's impossible that the deceased had been holding this Aconitum powder in his hand all the time, right?"
Having said this, the boy turned to look at the detective and continued:
"This kind of highly toxic substance should be properly stored before use, even for a suicidal person."
Yes. "
"So, have you found the container that the deceased used to store the aconite powder?"
"I'm sorry, we have carefully checked this apartment before, but we didn't find any similar containers. Mr. Baihe, please wait a moment, we will be back soon..."
"No need to look for it, you can't find it."
The boy shook his head slightly, interrupting the detective's words.
"Because he wasn't the one who poisoned him. Ryuhei Aizawa didn't commit suicide, but was silenced."
Then the boy looked at the bottle of whiskey again and said:
"Take this wine bottle back and immediately check the fingerprint information on it. By the way, check every corner of this room... Focus on the doorbell, door handle, or faucet switch, which are places that are easily touched by hands. Check them as well.
I think there should be fingerprints of the real murderer other than Ryuhei Aizawa on these places."
"Yes!" The criminal police nodded immediately and turned away.
After giving instructions for what to do here, the boy turned around and left quickly without stopping.
"Where are you going, wooden man? Do you know who the murderer is?"
Behind him, Xiao Wuhuan followed him with ease and got into the police car with him.
"Drive." The boy looked at her and acquiesced to her behavior.
"Go to Kuwai's house and catch the real murderer."
The constant reversals and complexity of this case made the boy, who had now seen all the truth, feel surprised.
Of course, what surprised him was not entirely how complicated the case was. What really surprised him was that the real murderer behind the scenes, who designed the murder method and remained unwavering, killing several people in succession and firmly pushing the plan forward, was actually just a girl who was still in school?
At Kuwai's house, the boy sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly looking at Kuwai Michiko who was sitting opposite him.
This time, not only was Kokarasuma sitting next to him, but also Keiko Hatoyama, who was on her way back to university for classes but met him on the way and came along with him.
Over the past year, due to Kokarasuma's activeness and certain physical reasons of Keiko Hatoyama herself, she has rarely been in and out of crime scenes with boys as often as she used to.
More often than not, the boy would tell her the whole process as a story after solving the case.
Therefore, since they happened to meet today, the boy naturally would not reject Keiko Hatoyama's idea of coming together.
"Officer Baihe, you are here again."
In the living room, Kuwai Michiko looked at the boy and said with a smile:
"Is there anything else you need to ask me?"
Michiko Kuwai has a good appearance, but she is not as good-looking as her school rival Akina Kanda.
Not only in appearance, but for these two people who are both members of the drama club, Kuwai Michiko's acting skills are also slightly worse than Kanda Akina's.
To put it in a way that may be a bit exaggerated, Kuwai Michiko is like a "lower-level substitute" for Kanda Akina in school, even though Kanda Akina herself does not have that idea.
The boy's eyes rested on Kuwai Michiko's hair.
Among all the people involved in this case, the second victim, Sanae Miyamoto, had neat short hair, which the boy noticed when he first saw her body.
The first victim, Akina Kanda, and another previous suspect, Airi Kida, both had long straight hair, and Airi Kida even had very long twin tails.
Only Kuwai Michiko was born with slightly curly hair.
This is exactly the same as the women's hair that Ryuhei Aizawa's wife had collected from the side of her washbasin.
"Mr. Kuwai, I just heard from your school that you took a leave today." The boy asked. He did not respond to Kuwai Michiko's previous inquiry.
"Well, because of this incident, I have been feeling a little uncomfortable, so I want to take a leave to rest..."
Kuwai Michiko replied, her expression extremely calm, the boy just stared at her and added:
"You asked for leave after Ryuhei Aizawa."
After he finished speaking, there was finally a change on Kuwai Michiko's originally calm face.
Chapter 662 It’s you
"You asked for leave after Ryuhei Aizawa."
In the living room of the Kuwai family, the boy looked directly at Kuwai Michiko who was sitting opposite him and spoke.
At this moment, the name he deliberately mentioned had an absolutely special meaning, and Kuwai Michiko obviously understood the meaning of the boy's words. A strange look flashed across her originally calm face, but disappeared immediately.
"I see... Did Mr. Aizawa take a leave of absence as well? I didn't know that... Officer Shirakawa, I heard before that the police seem to suspect Mr. Aizawa is the murderer of this case... Are you worried that Mr. Aizawa will attack me next?"
The boy's expression did not change at all as he listened to Kuwai Michiko's timid words.
She is worthy of being a member of the drama club, her acting skills are truly extraordinary. When the boy came to her for the first time yesterday to ask her about the situation, Kuwai Michiko deceived everyone with such superb acting skills.
Since the boy did not respond to her immediately, the living room fell into a brief and eerie silence.
"Akina-san and Aizawa Ryuhei have an improper teacher-student relationship."
But this calm did not last long as the boy took the initiative to speak and broke it. He thought for a long time and finally decided to start from here.
"Huh?"
Kuwai Michiko raised her hand to cover her mouth, with a look of surprise on her face.
"So there is such a thing? Akina-san and Aizawa-sensei actually... Officer Shirakawa, could it be that the police made a mistake?
After all, Akina has always been an outstanding person, and is admired by many classmates in the school. Moreover, we are both members of the drama club. I have never heard of her..."
"This is what the police found in Akina's diary. In addition, the police have also conducted relevant visits and investigations on the places where Akina and Aizawa Ryuhei had private dates, and they have confirmed the authenticity of this matter."
"Is that so? That's really surprising. I didn't expect that Akina-san, who looks so quiet, would actually..."
Kuwai Michiko turned his head away, with an expression on his face as if he was mourning for his good classmate who had made a mistake.
"According to the police investigation, Akina first developed feelings for Ryuhei Aizawa that went beyond a normal teacher-student relationship two months ago.
The only thing I can't figure out is that according to my previous inquiries to Ryuhei Aizawa's first wife, Ryuhei Aizawa first had an improper relationship with his student at least half a year ago."
"Eh? So, Mr. Aizawa has cheated with more than one person?! Could it be Miyamoto-san?!"
Kuwai Michiko was very surprised when he heard this.
"Could it be that in this case, Mr. Aizawa was afraid that his affair with his students would be exposed, so he deliberately designed these exchange killings and used me and Kida-san to help him get rid of these two people?!"
"Well, I have a similar guess. The murderer does want to get rid of Akina-san."
The boy nodded, looking at her expressionlessly, while reaching for something in his pocket.
"It is obvious that besides Akina, Ryuhei Aizawa has one or more extramarital affairs in this school. However, although the police suspect that the other person is Sanae Miyamoto, another victim in this case, they have not found any clues to prove this speculation.
Even from Mrs. Aizawa, the police only got this insignificant information."
As the boy spoke, he took out something from his pocket. It was a few strands of hair that he had received from Mrs. Aizawa before. They were left in the washbasin of their house by the man she had an affair with, Ryuhei Aizawa, while she was out.
These hairs are very long, and the first impression they give is that they are women's hair, and they are naturally slightly curly, the same as the slightly curly hair of Kuwai Michiko.
When seeing these strands of hair, Kuwai Michiko's face once again showed a look of surprise and disbelief.
Taking in all the changes in her, the boy said slowly:
"I heard that Miyamoto Sanae is a capable player in your school's tennis club. She has won many awards in various competitions. In order to better demonstrate her strength, Miyamoto Sanae never grows her hair long and has always had neat short hair.
From this point of view, although Miyamoto Sanae is highly suspected, the person who went to the Aizawa family to have a private meeting with Ryuhei Aizawa when Mrs. Aizawa was away could not have been her.
After all, for Sanae Miyamoto, it would take at least a year or two to grow such long hair. But if it wasn't Sanae Miyamoto, who else could it be?
Mr. Kuwai, you are both a friend of Miyamoto Sanae and a student in Ryuhei Aizawa's class. Tell me, do you have any guesses about the person Ryuhei Aizawa is having an affair with?
Based on the evidence currently in the hands of the police, this person is probably the real murderer of this series of tragedies."
Putting the hair wrapped in paper on the table, the boy looked directly into Kuwai Michiko's eyes and asked.
His words were very straightforward.
