Chapter 791 The murderer in the first case is the victim in the second case?

Yuu was also very surprised looking at Miyano Shiho, and asked with a smile: "When did Mio become so amazing that you could even think of this."

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't tell me you didn't expect that. I don't believe it."

Yuya touched his nose and said, "When I heard Inspector Megure say that the other cakes were not poisonous, I thought of this possibility, but you said it before me."

Miyano Shiho smiled slightly: "Really? It seems that I am faster than you this time."

Youya straightened his back: "Of course, don't forget who I am!"

Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

Inspector Megure briefly explained the situation of the cake to Wakamatsu Serika and others.

Wakamatsu Serika was very surprised: "Is this true? Only the cake that Ikuro ate was poisonous?"

Inspector Megure nodded. "Yes, and we compared the nine pieces of cake left at the scene with the cake before it was cut. Including the piece that Mr. Ikuro ate, they are all the same size."

He paused and continued, "Although they are the same size, if the poisonous piece happened to be placed a little in front of him and looked easier to grab, then it would be a different story. After all, according to what you said, Mr. Yulang was already quite hungry at the time."

"It's not the one in front of him," Yonehara Sakurako immediately denied, "Mr. Ikuro stretched out his hand and took the one that was farther away."

She turned around and asked Satake Yoshimi to confirm, "Is that right, Ms. Satake?"

Satake Yoshimi nodded: "Yes, that's what I saw."

Inspector Megure was a little skeptical: "But it was you two who cut the cake and put it on the plate. This is really hard to believe..."

"I saw it too," Mao Lilan interrupted, "Mr. Ikuro did take the piece that was farther away."

Yuanshan Heye also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I saw it too. I was wondering why he took the piece that was far away. He was so hungry, so normally he would take the piece that was closer and eat it quickly, right?"

Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but say, "It's a bit strange indeed, but was Mr. Ikuro so conspicuous at the time? You all saw him take the cake from Yuan."

Yuanshan Heye explained: "Because he said at the time that he would be the next president, of course I would be very concerned and couldn't help but keep looking at him."

Takagi Wataru asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the murderer bet on this 1 in 50 probability?"

Yuya immediately raised an objection: "If Mr. Ikuro chooses the piece of cake that is not poisonous, then the remaining piece will be eaten by the last executive, right?"

At this point, he was suddenly stunned: "Or, the murderer wanted Mr. Yulang to take the closer piece. After all, he was very hungry and couldn't wait to eat. There is a high probability that he would take the closer piece to fill his stomach quickly, so..."

He turned to look at Shiiaki Masafuji and said in a deep voice, "The murderer's actual target is Mr. Shiiaki Masafuji, the managing director?"

Shiiaki Masafuji's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth in disbelief: "How, how is this possible? The murderer is targeting me?"

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and thought, "If that's the case, if the murderer who killed the president in Karuizawa last month is the same person who targeted his son or the executive manager this time, then the cause may not be in this family, but within the company, right?"

He looked at Wakamatsu and Qinxiang in the study room: "Do you have any idea about this?"

No one said anything, just shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Fujinami Junsei said, “I don’t know about that kind of thing.”

At this time, Yonehara Sakurako suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I saw the president and Mr. Ikuro had a big fight before. He said that Mr. Ikuro misused the company's money and asked him to explain himself.

But Mr. Ikuro argued that he did not do such a thing, and said that the president did not even trust his own son. "

Takagi Wataru quickly asked: "When did that happen?"

Yonehara Sakurako recalled: "It should be about a week before the president died in Karuizawa?"

Satake Yoshimi pinched his chin and guessed, "So, what the president wanted to tell us at the villa that day was about Mr. Ikuro's embezzlement of public funds?"

"Ah," Wakamatsu Serika suddenly interrupted, "that matter has been resolved. Later it was discovered that I made a mistake when recording the accounts, and then the master was very angry with me."

"Is that so..." The others were skeptical because Wakamatsu Serika's expression looked a little forced.

"In short, there are other doubts about Mr. Yulang's death..."

Inspector Megure told Shiho Miyano's speculation, and then said that he would search the room to see if there was poison in other places.

However, Satake Yoshimi raised an objection. She was worried that some company confidential information kept at home would be leaked. She wanted to search other places besides the living room where Mr. Ikuro died, so she asked Inspector Megure to show a search warrant and to inform her of the content of the investigation in advance.

The reasons she gave were all in line with the procedures, and Inspector Megure had no choice but to ask his men to quickly apply for a search warrant.

Inspector Megure shook his hat brim and said in a deep voice: "Well, before the search warrant is sent over, we would like to ask you to recreate the scene when Mr. Ikuro was poisoned and died. Please cooperate with the investigation."

He looked at Satake Yoshimi and asked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "For this matter, there is no need for a search warrant or anything, right?"

Satake Yoshimi adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "Of course."

Takagi Shigeru said, "We will invite you over when we are ready. Before that, please wait in this room."

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

Fujinami Junsei sighed and complained, "We have to recreate the scene. It seems like we can't go back tonight."

Wakamatsu Qinxiang comforted him casually and said, "It would be a waste of time just to wait."

She looked at the computer next to her and said, "Ms. Satake, let me take a look at the text design you uploaded to this computer."

Satake Yoshimi responded, walked over and started operating the computer.

Wakamatsu Serika looked at Yonehara Sakurako and said, "And Miss Yonehara, please make another cup of black tea. The one just now has gone cold."

"Ok, I see."

···

Outside the room, Hattori Heiji said, "Speaking of which, the Nagano Prefecture Police in the Nagano Prefecture area, isn't that the one-eyed police officer we encountered in the previous case?"

Conan nodded, "Yes, it's Officer Yamato Gansuke, what's the problem?"

Hattori Heiji said, "Should we give him a call? Maybe we can get some clues about this case, such as what the tiles in the bathroom of the Karuizawa villa look like."

Youya touched his chin, took out his phone and said, "Indeed, I'll call him right now."

Yuya called Yamato Gansuke: "Hello, is this Officer Yamato? I'm Kamiya... This is what I mean..."

Yamato Gansuke was taking Uehara Yui and several police officers to investigate the Karuizawa villa.

"What? The president's son was killed in Tokyo?" Yamato Gansuke was very surprised.

"Yes," Yuya replied, "We suspect that the murderer of these two cases may be the same person..."

Yuya also recounted the story of Hattori Heiji receiving a letter from the murderer and what happened to Toyama Kazuha at Wakamatsu Kohei's Osaka home.

"So, please do Officer Yamato a favor and let us see what the tiles in the bathroom at the crime scene looked like a month ago."

"I see. I'm heading to the villa now. I'll take some pictures for you when I get there."

"It's troublesome."

Yamato Gansuke hung up the phone and said to Uehara Yui who was in the driver's seat: "Uehara, speed up."

"Got it." Uehara Yui also heard the conversation between Yamato Gansuke and Yuya, and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

In the study.

Wakamatsu Serika looked at the series of text designs on the screen and couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows.

Satake Yoshimi asked with concern: "Vice President, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Fujinami Junsheng took out a bottle of eye drops from his pocket and said, "If your eyes are tired, use the eye drops I just bought. They are still unopened, so you can use them without worry."

Wakamatsu Serika smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll be welcome then."

At this time, Yonehara Sakurako came in with a tray of black tea: "Madam must be too tired, so many things happened today..."

Wakamatsu Serika sighed, "Yeah."

Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru pushed the door open and informed them that everything was ready and asked them to go to the living room to recreate the scene.

Masafugi Shiiaki requested that the vice-president not attend because she looked very tired. Besides, Wakamatsu Serika had been sitting there without moving and had not approached the cake, so there was no chance for her to poison it. There would be no point in her attending.

Inspector Megure thought about it and agreed to their request.

Before leaving, Satake Yoshimi reminded Wakamatsu Serika that there were several documents in the drawer of the desk that needed her signature.

"I see," Wakamatsu Serika opened the drawer and found a few documents inside. She looked at the table and said with some embarrassment, "But the pens here are out of ink and can't write."

"Then please use my pen." Shiiaki Masafuji took out a bronze pen from his inner pocket, "This is a special gift from the president."

"Thank you so much."

After making the arrangements, everyone followed Inspector Megure out of the study.

···

In the corridor, Yuya, Conan and Hattori Heiji were leaning against the wall, waiting for Yamato Gansuke's call.

At this time, Yonehara Sakurako, who was walking at the end, stopped and hesitated for a moment before saying to Yuya, "Well... Madam said that the tiles in the bathrooms of the Karuizawa villa and the Osaka house will no longer be visible if they are removed. In fact... the bathroom of this house also uses the same tiles."

"What?" Youya straightened up in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

Yonehara Sakurako was a little uneasy: "Because, just now I saw that Madam didn't want me to say it..."

Yuya said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector, let's borrow this maid to lead the way."

After saying that, he pushed Sakurako Yonehara towards the bathroom, and Conan and Hattori Heiji followed closely behind.

Inspector Megure opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his brother had already walked away. He could only sigh helplessly: "Let's go, let's restore the scene."

Arriving at the bathroom, Yonehara Sakurako opened the door and said, "To be precise, the color of the tiles here is a little different from that in the villa, but the shape and color of the tiles are roughly the same."

Yuya opened the bathroom door and flipped the light switch.

The tiles in the bathroom were green and diamond-shaped, with the color gradually fading from top to bottom, but the two and a half detectives looked shocked when they saw them.

"This, this is?!"

Yuya said in a deep voice: "Crazy Diamond."

"Eh?" Yonehara Sakurako put her hands on her chest with some uneasiness and asked in confusion, "What is Crazy Diamond?"

Yuya explained: "The diamond shadow illusion is commonly known as the "crazy diamond", and some people also call it the weird diagonal square.

The angle deviation of two rhombuses of the same color, usually between 30 and 40 degrees, causes the overlap of light reflections, resulting in visual confusion. The brain automatically performs fuzzy calculations, so the borders where the rhombuses are connected will have different shades of color, which is what we see now, the color of the tile fades from top to bottom. "

“In fact, this phenomenon is very simple. It is to use the gradient technique and diamond combination to create a three-dimensional effect like a diamond. It is an optical illusion.

In fact, the tiles are all exactly the same color.”

"In that case," Hattori Heiji squatted down and touched the tiles on the ground, "the so-called disappeared text did not disappear at all, but..."

Conan continued: "It was replaced with a tile of the same color from another location, and then hidden."

Yuya stood up and looked into the distance, which was the direction of Nagano Prefecture.

"In that case, the death message of Karuizawa Villa is likely still at the scene. Since it was written in blood, the luminol reaction can still be detected. Next, we just need to wait for the content of the death message from Officer Yamato."

Just then, Yuya's cell phone rang. Yuya took it out and saw that it was Yamato Gansuke calling.

"Hello? Officer Yamato... I see. Did you guys figure it out too? Crazy Diamond. So, what is the death message that the president left behind?"

"What did you say?" Yuya's eyes widened in surprise, "SON?"

What? Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at Yuya in shock.

"That's right," Yamato Gansuke on the other end of the phone said excitedly, "If the murderer of these two cases is the same person, then as long as we catch that son, the case will be solved!"

"That's a bit troubling." Yuya said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Yamato Gansuke was stunned.

"Because," Yuya said slowly, "the person who was killed here tonight... was the president's son!"

Yuya hung up the phone and looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji.

The three of them all had solemn expressions on their faces - the murderer who killed Wakamatsu Kohei and Wakamatsu Ikuro was actually not the same person? !
