Chapter 938: The Blessing Weapon

Chapter 938: The Blessing Weapon

Just as Youya was organizing his thoughts, several police officers made a new discovery.

In the cherry blossom forest, they found a hat and coat that the murderer had discarded and that were stained with blood.

Yuya came over to take a look and asked in confusion, "Why are there so many cherry blossom petals on it?"

The police officer nodded: "Yes, the murderer seems to have buried the hat and coat with cherry blossom petals. After all, the petals are everywhere here."

Inspector Megure immediately said, "I see. Then the murder weapon might have been hidden in the same way. Expand the search area immediately, especially the piles of petals!"

"Yes!"

"Eh!" Ayumi was a little unhappy, "That's a beautiful carpet formed by the flower petals with great effort! How excessive!"

But she also knew that this was to find the murder weapon, so she didn't shout too loudly, but there was a look of loss on her face.

Miyano Shiho touched her head and said with some regret: "Yes, they are just petals at a time, but when enough petals fall to the ground, they will form a pink carpet."

Hmm? Hearing this, a flash of lightning flashed through Yuya's mind, and his slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed.

He turned to look at the three suspects, scanned them up and down, and soon revealed a smile that showed he had seen through the truth.

Yuya walked up to Takagi Wataru and whispered something in his ear. The latter showed a shocked expression: "Yuya-kun, are you serious? Such a large number..."

Youye smiled and said, "You don't need to find all of them. Just finding a part of them will be enough as evidence. The rest can be sorted out slowly after the case is over."

When Takagi Shigeru heard this, he thought it made sense, so he immediately did as Yuya said.

Inspector Megure who saw this scene said:...Brother Kamiya is ordering my men around without permission again.

At this time, Yuya shouted to Inspector Megure: "Inspector, can you let the officer who just found the murder weapon come back? There is no need to waste time and energy. I already know where the murder weapon is!"

The sooner the case is resolved, the sooner we can go back.

"Where is the murder weapon?" he asked anxiously.

Yuya smiled slightly: "I have asked Officer Takagi to take people to look for him. I believe there will be a result soon, but before that, how about we catch the murderer first?"

"What! So fast?" Inspector Megure was shocked. Their police hadn't even found the murder weapon, so brother Kamiya already knew who the real murderer was?

You are worthy of being my brother Kamiya! I can get off work early again today.

Inspector Megure, who had just been complaining about Yuya ordering his subordinates around without authorization, now turned around and started to feel proud of himself.

When the others heard that You also wanted to find the murderer, they all looked over in surprise.

Inspector Megure asked happily: "Brother Kamiya, who is the murderer?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "Inspector, don't worry, don't you want to know why we can't find the murder weapon?"

Inspector Megure was stunned. Didn't you ask someone to find the murder weapon? Why are you asking more questions?

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Did the murderer hand the murder weapon to his accomplice?" He glanced at the dense crowd of onlookers around him and said with a headache, "If that's the case, we have to search everyone. How difficult is that..."

Not to mention whether these people are willing to cooperate, I don’t know how much time it will take just to check them one by one.

"Of course not," Yuya shook his head, "In fact, the murderer still has part of the murder weapon on him."

"What? A part? Carry it on your body?" Inspector Megure was a little confused. He thought about it for a moment and immediately reacted, "You mean, the murder weapon can be disassembled?"

"You could say that the murderer used that thing to connect together and make it into a murder weapon."

"Connect them?" Inspector Megure had a question mark over his head. "But according to the witnesses, wasn't the murder weapon a 30-centimeter-long thin wooden stick? Does it need to be connected?"

Is it like chopsticks, where one chopstick cannot kill someone, but if you tie multiple chopsticks together, you can kill someone?

Yuya said: "Of course, the murderer used a lot of the same items, and hid them in places where they would not arouse suspicion even if they were discovered. At the same time, in order to cover up this behavior, the murderer deliberately talked to the children."

"Children? Are you referring to us?" The three little kids looked at each other.

Yuan Tai exclaimed, "Yes, there are many lucky lots at the lottery site. Even if we add a few, they won't be discovered, right?"

Mitsuhiko immediately denied Genta's idea: "But the fortune sticks are made of paper. Even if there are a lot of them, they can't kill anyone, right? Not to mention that they are only made into 30 cm long thin sticks."

Ayumi frowned and recalled: "Could it be the spoon over there?"

Mitsuhiko denied it again: "But if it was a spoon, it should have been discovered by the police long ago, right?"

After being denied one after another, Genta and Ayumi glared at Mitsuhiko unhappily: "So, Mitsuhiko, do you know how the murder weapon was connected?"

Mitsuhiko was frightened by the two's momentum and took a step back, laughing awkwardly: "This... the only thing left is the big sister I met when I was praying, but there are only two bells there, which can't be a murder weapon anyway."

Seeing that the three people were analyzing the problem in a good way and were quickly approaching the answer, Youya prompted, "Do you remember what to do before praying?"

With a ding, a bright light bulb lit up above Guangyan's head. He hammered his palm and shouted, "I know, it's the incense money!"

Ayumi and Genta also screamed.

"That's right," Youya smiled, "When praying, in order to get the homonym of hope and fate with God, we always choose a five-yuan coin with a hole in the middle."

Miyano Shiho interrupted, "I see. If you string a lot of coins together with wire or rope, it will form a long, thin stick. Even if you find a lot of five-yuan coins strung together, people will think that the person praying did it for the convenience of carrying because they are mixed with the incense money. They won't be suspicious."

Inspector Megure raised a question: "But, a 30-centimeter stick would require at least five-yuan coins, right? Wouldn't it be very eye-catching to throw so many coins into the coin box?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "So, the murderer deliberately talked to the children and taught them how to shake the blessing bell correctly. As long as they untie the rope tied to the coins while shaking, the sound of the coins falling into the coin box will be covered by the sound of the bell, because they are all metal."

"I see." Inspector Megure pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and felt that it was indeed feasible.

"In that case, the murderer is..."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Danno Raiko.
