Chapter 943 The Strange Dead

Chapter 943 The Strange Dead

At that time, Mao Lilan and Kitao Rumi went up for about half an hour, but never came down.

A few people found it strange, so they went up to check what was going on. As a result, they found two people lying on the floor in the bathroom, and He Xiang with blood all over his head.

After learning that the stench in the bathroom was caused by the anesthetic called chloroform, Settsu Kenya couldn't help but speculate: "So, Kazuka was smelling the anesthetic..."

"Hey, hey, it's so obvious, can't you see it?" Yokogami Sango walked to the side of the body, lowered the dead man's head and said, "This is obviously an external injury. He was beaten to death with a blunt object!"

Settsu Kenya found it very strange. If the person was killed with a blunt object, why did they need to fill the bathroom with anesthetics?

Also coming along was a guy called Mitsuru Kaga who came later. He was a senior of Kitao Rumi and was invited to dinner.

He couldn't believe it, and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Is the dead person really He Xiang?"

Kitao Liuhai is also hoping for the best: "Because I can't see my face clearly with the mask on..."

Yokoguro Sango said coldly: "Then let's confirm the identity of the deceased."

As he spoke, he turned over the body, which was lying face down on the ground, and carefully tore off the mask on her face. The deceased had one eye open and the other closed, as if she was winking, but there was still a hint of fear and resentment in the open eye.

The three of them saw the person's appearance clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed: "He Xiang...it's really He Xiang!"

Kitao Rumi shouted Waka's name and was about to pounce on her, but was stopped by Yuya's quick eyes and hands.

Henggou Chanwu said coldly: "Don't come in casually!"

He looked down at the corpse with a puzzled expression: "But this corpse is really strange. Why is it turning a blind eye?"

Yuya's eyes also fell on the face of the corpse and found that it was indeed the case.

Normally, the person being killed would either have their eyes closed or open; it is very rare for someone to turn a blind eye.

There is only one explanation for this phenomenon: this is a death message left by the deceased!

Thinking of this, Youya instinctively wanted to go forward to check. As soon as he squatted down, Henggou Canwu approached with a cold face: "What are you doing?"

Yuya almost fell to the ground with a backward tilt, and said with a wry smile: "Nothing, I just thought the body looked a little strange, and wanted to see if there would be any clues..."

Yokomizo Sango nodded slightly. Although he disliked detectives, he could still distinguish the priorities when it came to serious matters. As long as the detective could help solve the case, he could temporarily put aside his grudges.

The two men came together, and Youye put on gloves and first checked the open eyes of the deceased, but there was nothing special. Then he carefully pried open the closed eye, and suddenly something fell out of it.

Yuya looked down and saw that it was a contact lens.

Yokoguro Canwu was a little disappointed: "It looks like there are no clues."

"No," Yuya raised his lips slightly, "Inspector Yokomizo, based on your experience, do people wear contact lenses when taking a bath?"

Henggou Chanwu was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious: "You mean, she was not killed while taking a bath, but was deliberately put in this state after being killed?"

You didn't answer either. He hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the forensic officer beside him: "Officer, did you find any other contact lenses in the bathroom?"

The forensic officer was puzzled: "We did find a contact lens case, but it contained two intact lenses, not missing. Why were there any on the deceased..."

At this time, another forensic officer shouted: "Inspector, we found some red pigment residue here."

Yuya and Yokomizo Sango hurried over and found that the forensic officer had extracted some red pigment from the inside of the drain.

"Red paint?" Youye was stunned. Why was there such a thing in the bathroom?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any traces of paint on the body?"

The forensic officer said he found nothing.

Yuya frowned slightly, he slowly scanned the bathroom environment, and finally his eyes stopped on the corpse.

Now the corpse was turned over by Yokogawa Chanwu. It was originally lying on the ground. Youya slowly recalled this scene in his mind. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Could this be the case?

However, these were just his guesses. More clues were needed before that. He looked at Yokomizo and said, "Inspector, we can start the routine questioning."

Yokogo Chanwu nodded subconsciously, and immediately reacted: "Stop giving me orders!" and walked away with a cold face.

Yuya scratched his cheek and smiled helplessly.

···

Kitao Rumi, Settsu Kenya, Kaga Mitsurugi and the deceased, the four of them made an appointment to have dinner together.

They had originally planned to gather in the lobby of the building at noon, but when the time came and the victim hadn't come down, they became a little worried, so Beihai Liumei and Mao Lilan went upstairs to the room together to check on the situation.

However, there was no response when she pressed the doorbell, so Kitao Ruimi took out the key given to her by the deceased's ex-boyfriend, Settsu Kenya, and opened the door.

At this moment, Settsu Kenya called Kitao Ruimi, who answered the phone while Mao Li Ran went to look for the deceased alone.

Later, the dead body was found lying on the floor in the bathroom, but she herself fell into a coma due to inhaling chloroform. Then Kitao Rumi, who also found the bathroom, also fell into addiction.

Thirty minutes later, Settsu Takeya and Kaga Mitsuoaki saw that the three people had not come down yet, so they came up to check the situation out of concern.

Because Kitao Ruimi was overly cautious and always locked the door no matter where she went, it took the two of them some time to open the door. After they entered the house and searched around, they found the three people lying in the bathroom. Finally, they called the police.

After asking about the general situation, Yokomizo Sango asked again: "Also, let me confirm, is it true that the victim was drinking until five in the morning?"

Kaga Mitsuaki said, "Yes, she and I drank in this room. Although I also met Settsu and Rumi, they said they would meet tomorrow anyway... She kept complaining about her ex-boyfriend until she fell asleep drunk."

While saying this, he kept glancing at Settsu Kenya, who immediately showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

Yokoguro Sango asked coldly, "Did you lock the door when you left?"

Kaga Mitsuaki quickly said, "Of course, when I left, I tried my best to wake her up and locked the door!"

Yokogo Sango nodded and fell into thought. There was nothing suspicious about the contents.

At this point, Yuya asked, "Excuse me, when Ms. Rumi and Xiaolan used the spare key to enter the house, they received a call from Settsu. Can I ask what he said?"

Kitao Liuhai immediately replied, "He asked me to help him find the watch he forgot here." She glanced at Settsu Kenya, "You asked me to do that before. Even if you didn't call me, I would remember to look for it."

Settsu Kenya explained, "The watch should be in the living room. I thought if Kazuka was still asleep, I could take it away without making any noise. This would be the easiest way, but she didn't seem to find it."
