Chapter 608 The Mummy Hiding a Secret
The next day, Yuya had just finished packing and arrived at the church with Miyano Shiho when he saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
He walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said hello: "Hey, Officer Yamamura, long time no see."
Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder, and Shancuncao was startled. When he found the voice was very familiar, he turned around and smiled in surprise: "Isn't this Detective Kamiya! Why are you here?"
He noticed Miyano Shiho next to him and smiled mischievously: "Why, are you here for a date?"
Yuya shook his head and sighed, then simply told him what happened.
Yamamura Cao said with regret: "That's so unfortunate! But with Detective Kamiya here, we can definitely bring the murderer to justice!"
Yuya nodded slightly and looked inside the church, where forensic officers were conducting an on-site investigation.
"Yesterday I told someone to protect the scene. Apart from the fact that we destroyed the gate to get in when the crime happened, there shouldn't be any other changes."
Yamamura Cao smiled and said, "I feel relieved with what Detective Kamiya said. The forensic officers are investigating and there should be results soon."
The three of them entered the church.
In addition to what Yuya discovered last night, the forensic officers also deduced the time of death, two hours between 10pm and 12am.
This time point happened to be the time when Tokida Wakaba entered the church for the pre-wedding ceremony.
Judging from the bleeding on the body, the deceased was strangled to death and then his head was cut off. Judging from the wound marks, the head was cut off with a very sharp tool such as a saw, but no suspected tools were found nearby.
Yuya asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure the body is Tokida Wakaba?"
Yamamura said: "According to the samples provided by the deceased's father, Tokita Jusan, the fingerprints, blood type and DNA tests of the body are all consistent, so it can be confirmed that it is Tokita Wakaba herself."
The on-site investigation is basically completed, and the forensic officer came to report the basic situation.
“In addition to the main door at the front, the church also has a back door, but that door looks like it has not been used for a long time, the lock on it is so rusty that it cannot be used, and there are no signs of anyone walking around.
In addition, the windows of the church are all fixed and cannot be opened, except for a transom in the roof, which is equipped with railings and is only large enough for a child to pass through.
Yuya pinched his chin and pondered: "So, in fact, the only way to enter and exit the church is the front door? And that door was locked from the inside when the crime happened, which means..."
Shancuncao shouted excitedly: "Murder in a closed room! This is a murder in a closed room!"
Yuya:...I know, you don't have to be so loud.
Yamamura Cao gathered everyone to the church.
When Tokita Jusan came in and saw the bed, although it had been dealt with, he was still very sad. He covered his chest and gasped for breath. He hurriedly stuffed a few pills into his mouth before he felt better.
Shancuncao glanced at everyone and asked, "The deceased's death time is estimated to be between 10 and 12 last night. Where were you during this time and what were you doing?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Tokita Jusan was still immersed in the pain of losing his daughter, Kabuto Reiji was in a trance because his daughter's whereabouts were unknown, and Fuyuki Sanko looked like he didn't want to talk.
Finally, Kazematsu Jun also stood up and said, "We were all at the banquet venue at that time."
Shancun Cao pondered and said, "In other words, everyone has an alibi?"
Kazesai Junya: "Yes."
Shancun Cao asked again: "So, do you have any clues about the fifth mummy written on the paper?"
At this time, Fuyuki Sanzi suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Officer, don't worry about these things for now. Isn't Wuzi the most suspicious?"
Shancuncao looked confused: "Wuzi?"
Fuyuki Sanzi said: "That girl who was guarding the bride has been missing since last night!"
Dou Li raised his head quickly: "What are you talking about? Are you my daughter's murderer?"
Shancuncao laughed: "Then the murderer is obvious, it's the missing Dou Wuzi!"
"What?" Dou Reiji shouted excitedly, "How could my daughter kill someone? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shancun Cao was shocked: "But everyone has an alibi, and the only possible person who could have committed the crime is Dou Wuzi who was also in the church. In addition, there was a crow feather on her body at the scene..."
Besides, her whereabouts are unknown now. Isn't she absconding from the crime?"
Dou Lier was speechless and could not find any excuse for a moment. He could only shout anxiously: "Anyway, it is impossible that my daughter killed him!"
Yuya sighed, this confused policeman...
He stood up and said, "Officer Yamamura, we can't jump to conclusions right now. What we need to do first is to unlock the secret room."
Fuyuki Sanzi said disdainfully: "What kind of secret room is this? Even the police can't unlock it. What do you know about this little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"
The corner of Youya's mouth twitched slightly - his hair hasn't even grown out yet, and this is the first time someone has said this to him.
Yamamura Cao said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? This is a famous high school detective in Tokyo, Kamiya Yuya!"
"Famous detective?" Fuyuki Sanzi didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face changed slightly. She stammered a few times and sat down without saying anything.
Youye shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked outside the church. He walked around and came to the back of the church, where he found a ladder attached to the wall.
After thinking about it, Youya climbed up the ladder to the roof, then came to the ventilation window and found that the railing was very clean, as if it had been specially wiped.
I reached out and grabbed the railing and shook it hard, only to find that it was very solid and could not be moved by human power.
Yuya stretched his head out to try, but found that he couldn't get it in and would get stuck.
"What are you doing?" Miyano Shiho's curious voice sounded behind him.
Yuya turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and waved: "Mio, come here."
Miyano Shiho was puzzled, but still walked over obediently.
Yuuya pointed at the railing and said, "Try to see if you can stick your head over there."
"?" A huge question mark appeared above Miyano Shiho's head, but she knew that You would not speak without purpose, so she did as she was told.
The result was just as Yuya expected, Miyano Shiho's head could just fit in.
Youya pinched his chin and pondered. Girls' heads are generally smaller than boys', so his guess is indeed possible.
Miyano Shiho wiped the dirt off her face and asked in confusion, "What did you think of?"
Yuya pondered and said, "Do you think it's possible that Senior Sister Ruoye's head came out from here?"
Miyano Shiho looked down, a little unconvinced: "Impossible? It's so high up here. Even if the murderer could use anesthetics to make Senior Sister Wakaba unconscious, how could he kill someone and cut off her head at such a high place?"
"Why did the murderer have to cut off the head after all?"
Yuya was silent for a while, then said, "Do you remember the mummy in Tokita's house?"
Miyano Shiho's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean, the murderer imitated the shape of a mummy to kill people?"
Yuya nodded: "It's very likely, and there is only one reason for doing this..."
"It's for revenge!"
"There may be some unknown secrets hidden behind this mummy."
