Chapter 776: Who is better, you or Kudo?

Chapter 776: Who is better, you or Kudo?

Yuya's gaze slowly moved and finally fell on Yuchi Zhixin who was standing in the middle.

"Then the answer is obvious. The person who hid in the bathroom at that time was the second fox who visited, that is, you, Ms. Tangdi!"

Everyone looked at Tang Dizhi in shock, and she herself just stood there, looking horrified as if the truth had been seen through.

Guang Jing Zhuxian, who knew that she was not the murderer, immediately understood and said in a trembling voice: "It's you, you are the murderer, you killed Miss Weihong?!"

Mao Lilan was a little confused: "What on earth is going on?"

Masumi Sera explained, "Didn't Miss Mihong write in her message that the fox came again to make unreasonable demands and refused to leave? At this time, Ms. Guangjing also came over, so she had to let Ms. Yuchi hide in the bathroom and then find a way to send Ms. Guangjing away.

Of course, she asked Ms. Tangdi to take away the slippers at the door, otherwise if Ms. Guangjing saw them, she would know that there was someone else in the room.

But Ms. Tangdi mistook Miss Weihong's slippers for her own and took them into the bathroom. Is that why the slippers that Ms. Guangjing mistakenly wore were wet and warm? "

She turned to look at Yuya: "Kamiya-san, am I right?"

Yuya nodded: "Yes, then it was just as Mr. Sawakuri Shun said. After killing Miss Sawakuri Mihong and pretending it was suicide, she used a text message to lure Sawakuri Shun to come over and break the glass and break into the room. Then she went from the balcony to the next room, and after coming out, she blended into the crowd in the chaos."

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but ask a question: "But, since he was hiding in the bathroom, then it's possible that it was Ms. Sanping who visited first, right?"

Youye said: "In Miss Weihong's message, she wrote that the fox that refused to leave was very noisy. If the fox really left, she would definitely be very happy and leave a record, right?

Besides, Ms. Sanping is an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who will put all her shower gels in order. How could she have mistaken her slippers for Ms. Weihong's?"

Maori Kogoro was convinced at once: "That's true."

"But," he said hesitantly, "these are just inferences, they can only be considered as circumstantial evidence, right?"

"Of course there is physical evidence as well." Youya said casually.

"Physical evidence? Really?" asked Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

Yuya's lips curled up slightly: "Of course, if I'm not absolutely sure, I won't stand here."

Kogoro Mouri & Ran Mouri & Masumi Sera: Here we go again. Yuya/Kamiya-san really knows how to find opportunities to say this catchphrase.

After saying his catchphrase, Yuya felt relaxed physically and mentally. He picked up a photo from the pile of information and said, "Uncle Kogoro, look at this."

Maori Kogoro leaned over to take a look. It was the photo with the bloody handprint on the bathroom door. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this photo?"

Youye pointed to a spot above and said, "This is the photo of Miss Weihong trying desperately to escape when she was murdered, grabbing the floor towel with her bloody hands. Then look carefully here, is the bloody handprint here missing a part, with only the finger part?"

Maori Kogoro opened his eyes wide, looked carefully, and immediately shouted: "It is true, could it be that there was something stuck between Miss Weihong's hand and the towel at that time?"

"That's right," Yuya put down the photo and picked up the three signed novels on the table. "Due to the different printing and cutting methods of books, the edges of the books are sometimes neat and smooth, and sometimes uneven."

"But these three books should be from the same batch of first editions, right? Then they should be cut in the same way, so their edges should be the same, either smooth or rough. But..."

Sera Masumi walked up and took a closer look. She was surprised and said, "The edges of this book are exceptionally smooth." She looked at the signature page and said loudly, "This is Ms. Tang Di's book."

Ms. Tang Di's face suddenly changed. When she saw Youya pick up the novel, she realized that something was wrong.

Yuya took the novel and explained, "I think it's because Ms. Tangdi polished the edges of the book to remove the blood of Miss Weihong from it."

"What a pity..." He said as he closed the book and bent it to show the edges to everyone, "No matter how much you polish it, even if you replace the cover with a new novel, the blood that has seeped into the paper cannot be covered up."

Several people's eyes widened suddenly, and they saw that as the edge of the book deformed, a red mark suddenly appeared.

"As long as we identify the blood, we can find out whose it is, right?"

"That's right, this is all the blood of the murdered Miss Sawakuri Mihong!"

Maori Kogoro exhaled, looked at Yuchi Tsuki with some confusion and asked, "But why did you put the autographed book at the bathroom door?"

Tang Dizhi's face looked extremely ugly. After a moment of silence, he let out a sigh as if he had accepted his fate.

"It fell out of my yukata when I was carrying Miss Mihong to the bathroom. Even though there was blood on the back, I didn't care too much and just dealt with it casually. I didn't expect it to become evidence of my murder."

"I should have thrown away that crappy book a long time ago..." Tang Dizhixin said with sadness, "Because that book contains the most famous sentence in all my works."

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Miss Weihong plagiarized your work?"

Kogoro Mouri has also encountered a case where a person's work was plagiarized, the plagiarist became famous while the plagiarist himself was unknown and ended up killing someone in anger. He immediately thought of this possibility.

Tang Dizhi shook his head and said, "No, that book is actually a collaboration between her and me..."

Ze Li Weihong once went to see Tang Di Zhixin and said that a publishing house wanted her to publish a book and asked Tang Di if she was willing to help. The latter agreed.

Unexpectedly, the collaborative work became a bestseller, and Sawakuri Miku even won the Naoki Prize.

Originally, Tang Dizhixin was not jealous or anything. She had only helped with that book. Ze Li Weihong was also capable. As a friend, Tang Dizhixin was happy.

However, when Tang Dizhixin later went to a publishing house to submit her work, she was told that there was no need for a second Sawakuri Miku - the style of her work was almost exactly the same as Sawakuri Miku's.

Tang Dizhixin then realized that ever since Sawa Kuri Mihong's famous work was published, he has been imitating her writing style.

The reason why Tang Dizhixin went to find Ze Li Weihong was to ask her to at least announce that the famous work was a collaboration between the two of them, so that Tang Dizhixin would not become an unknown ghost writer.

Naturally, Ze Li Wei Hong refused and even mocked her.

This result made Tang Di determined to kill, making her a real ghost first.

···

After the case is over.

Masumi Sera and Yuya had been on the same journey for a while, so they traveled together.

"Kamiya-san, I really didn't expect you to show up so suddenly!" Sera Masumi said with a smile, "If you weren't here this time, things would have been really hard to predict."

"But how do you know the details of the case? You can't have solved the case just by reading the information once, right?"

Masumi Sera doesn't believe that Yuya can solve the case just by looking through the information once. Only Sherlock Holmes can do that, right?

Could it be that someone in the office tipped him off?

Those three female writers and Sawaguri Isao can't be the one, and Mouri Kogoro, who is known as a famous detective, shouldn't be the one either, so... is it Mouri Ran?

But it's strange, shouldn't Mao Lilan ask Kudo Shinichi for help? Why did she ask Kamiya?

And when did it happen? What method did it use? I have always been by Mao Lilan's side, and I didn't notice her doing anything similar?

Or in other words, it was Ran Mouri who asked Kudo Shinichi for help, but for some reason he couldn't show up, so he asked his childhood friend to help?

"Actually, I left something at the office, so I went back shortly after we separated." Yuya suddenly spoke, interrupting Sera Masumi's thoughts.

He pinched the recovered eavesdropping device in his pocket and continued, "I was already outside when that man first entered the office. I was listening to the case the whole time. I just pretended to look at the information to buy time because I had to think of a way to deal with that situation."

"Is that so?" Sera Masumi laughed dryly. So that's how it is. So all her guesses during the day were in vain?

She put her hands behind her head and asked casually, "Speaking of which, I heard from my classmates that there is a guy named Kudo in our class who is also a famous high school detective. I wonder..."

"Compared between the two of you, who is better?"
