Chapter 945: The Trap Hidden Under the Truth
"Speaking of which," Yuya suddenly asked, "Is Ms. Kazuka nearsighted?"
Several people were stunned and looked at You, not knowing why he suddenly asked this.
Kitao Rumi replied, "Yes, in fact, it's not just Kazuka, the four of us are nearsighted." She smiled sheepishly, "But I think wearing glasses doesn't look good, so now we all wear contact lenses."
You also raised an eyebrow: "Wow, all four of them are nearsighted?"
Kitao Liuhai was a little uneasy, but nodded.
All four of them were nearsighted and chose to wear contact lenses, but there were two lenses in the glasses case in the bathroom. Could it be that the lens the deceased was wearing was not her own, but the murderer's? !
And the murderer was, unsurprisingly, among these three people.
But further clues are needed to confirm who it is.
At this time, a police officer ran over and reported that the murder weapon had been found.
Blood was detected on a golf club found in the living room, and a small glass bottle and syringe of chloroform were found in the kitchen sink.
Yuya touched his chin. It was strange. Forget about the golf clubs. It was indeed not easy to take them away. But why were the glass bottles and syringes also left in this room? And they were placed in the sink where they could be found at a glance.
If I put these two things in my pocket, they wouldn't be seen, right? Or if I threw them out from the balcony, they wouldn't be easy to find, right?
The fact that it was left in the room meant that the murderer had no chance or no time to take it away, and the only person who met this condition was... Kitao Ruimi.
That’s right, it was as if the murderer was telling others this.
If the murderer is Kitao Rumi, then the method of committing the crime should be...
In just a moment, You deduced a complete method of murder based on the premise that Kitao Rumi was the murderer, but there were too many far-fetched ideas in it.
But if we consider the other two to be the murderers...
Thinking of this, Yuya glanced at Settsu Kenya and Kaga Mitsuoaki, thought for a moment, waved to Conan to call him over, and then whispered something in his ear.
Conan nodded to show that he understood, and then he started to search his pockets. The next second...
"Wow!" Conan screamed in surprise. It turned out that when he was taking something out, he accidentally dropped the coins in his coin purse, and the coins rolled out.
"Sorry~ Can you help me check it?" Conan shouted at the top of his voice.
"Really? Stop making trouble, little brat!" Henggou Chanwu's eyebrows jumped, and a well-shaped character suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Conan apologized profusely, cursing Yuya in his mind.
Several of the coins rolled in front of Kitao Liuhai and the other two, and they bent down and picked up the coins.
"Sorry, thank you!" Conan thanked them in a hoarse voice and ran up to the three people and spread his palms towards them.
"Hold the coin well, little brother. Don't drop it and cause trouble for the policeman." Kitao Liuhai put the coin in Conan's palm, and Conan quickly thanked her.
Mitsuru Kaga didn't say anything and put the coin in Conan's palm.
But when it was Settsu Takeya's turn, he did not put the coin in Conan's palm, but opened his palm and let Conan take it himself.
Conan was stunned for a moment, said thank you and took the coin.
Seeing this scene, Yuya's mouth curled up slightly, it seemed that his reasoning was correct.
After Conan finished his scene, he retreated under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Mao Li Ran, but she saw Conan and Yuya secretly talking about something, and it should be Yuya who asked him to do so, so she didn't say anything.
At this moment, Conan suddenly noticed that Sera Masumi was hiding behind him, holding a cell phone and talking to someone. He subconsciously moved closer and heard something vaguely. "My reasoning should be correct, right?"
She seemed to call someone's name, but I didn't hear it clearly. I just heard the "brother" at the end.
Brother? Sera Masumi is on the phone with Akai Shuichi? Conan was stunned, but he immediately realized that this was impossible. Could it be that she has another brother?
After Sera Masumi hung up the phone, she suddenly saw Conan turned his back in panic and immediately guessed something, but she just smiled and said nothing.
On the other side, Yokomizo Sango was still questioning the two men and analyzing the existing clues. However, no one knew how he analyzed it. As he was analyzing, Kitao Ruimi was suspected to be the murderer.
Settsu Kenya even suspected Sera Masumi, saying that she was in cahoots with Kitao Ruimi, and had prepared a story with his eyes.
Just as Sera Masumi was about to say something, someone beside him suddenly said, "Don't guess, I already know who the murderer is."
Everyone looked over in surprise.
Yuya put one hand in his pocket and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
Henggou Chanwu frowned and said, "Do you know who the murderer is?"
Yuya nodded.
"who is it?!"
Yuya slowly raised his hand, "The murderer who killed Ms. Kazuka was her ex-boyfriend, Mr. Settsu Kenya!"
As he finished speaking, his finger pointed firmly at the man whose face changed drastically.
"You are the murderer!"
"What?" Everyone looked at Settsu Kenya in shock, especially Sera Masumi, whose eyes almost popped out.
"What's going on? Why is his reasoning different from mine? Is my reasoning wrong?" Sera Masumi instinctively began to doubt herself, but she immediately shook her head vigorously. No, her reasoning shouldn't be wrong.
But... thinking of Yuya's record, his 100% crime-solving rate and his reasoning that had never been wrong, Sera Masumi couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.
"You, you, you, you said I'm the murderer?!" Settsu Kenya was so shocked that he stuttered.
He began to doubt his life. Why?
"That's right," Youya nodded, "You took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom and came to this room. When Miss Kazuka wasn't paying attention, you used chloroform to put her to sleep. Then you moved Miss Kazuka into the bathroom, took off her clothes and wrapped her in a bath towel, put a facial mask on her face, wrapped her hair with a towel, and turned on the shower to run hot water.
Then he beat her to death with a golf club.”
"After that, let the red dye flow down the bathroom drain and use a syringe to fill the bathroom with chloroform, and you're all set."
Everyone looked puzzled as they listened to Yuya's reasoning.
Only Sera Masumi seemed to understand something. Her eyes suddenly widened and her face turned pale.
Yokogome Sango asked coldly, "What does preparation mean? And why do you pour the red paint down the drain after killing someone?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Preparation, of course, is to frame the crime of murder on others, and red paint is a necessary part of this."
