Chapter 986 Telegram, The Sea and Me

Just as everyone else was looking puzzled, a forensic officer in the room ran out.

"Inspector Megure, something just fell onto the balcony from upstairs!"

"What?" Inspector Megure immediately realized that it was Yuya who ordered Takagi Wataru to do this. Thinking that it might be related to the case, he hurried to the balcony.

When I opened the glass sliding door of the balcony, I saw a suitcase dropped on the balcony, tied with a rope, and the other end extended to the upper floor.

Inspector Megure looked along the rope and saw Takagi Wataru waving at him: "Inspector, please open the suitcase."

Inspector Megure was very confused, but he still opened the box as he was told, revealing two bags of rice, 30kg each, for a total of 60kg.

At this time, Yuya and others also came over.

Yuya said, "Two bags of rice weigh 60kg in total, which is about the weight of an adult woman. Of course," he glanced at Kyougo out of the corner of his eye and added, "It's also similar to Miss Mizunotsuki's weight."

Inspector Megure thought of the ridiculously large suitcase in the victim's room and immediately widened his eyes: "Could it be that he put the body in the suitcase..."

Yuya nodded, “Yes, if we were to climb the stairs directly using the rope, it would be a challenge even for me without any care, but the suitcase is different.

As long as you master the timing and strength, you can use the rope to swing the suitcase to the balcony downstairs. As for the rope, it can be easily retrieved as long as it is not tied into a knot. "

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "So, the suitcase in the victim's room is indeed..."

"Yes, it is used to carry corpses. I'm afraid the things inside were originally placed in that backpack?"

Inspector Megure pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "I see."

At this time, Sera Masumi came over and took over the conversation, saying, "In other words, Hira-sensei called the victim to the room, strangled him in the bathroom, waited for the editors to finish their meal and leave the room, and then used this method to lower the body to the balcony downstairs.

Then, he handed the completed manuscripts to the editors waiting outside one by one, and then, using the excuse of having a writer's block, he took his wallet and went downstairs to buy cigarettes.

When we get downstairs, we can easily enter the room using the room card we got from the victim. Then we can ask her to put on the bathrobe in the room and put her at the door. In this way, the waiter who is scheduled to deliver champagne at six o'clock will find the fallen body at the door."

"As for the beer spilled on the box, it should be to cover up the scent of shower gel left when the body was moved? After all, he was in a hurry to put the body into the box, so at least his hair was still wet, right?"

Inspector Megure was a little confused: "Why didn't he blow dry his hair before putting it in the box? There would be enough time, right?"

"That's impossible," Yuya smiled faintly, "If the editors waiting outside the room heard the sound of the hair dryer inside, they would definitely find it strange, right? After all, Mr. Hiura..."

Inspector Megure looked at Kyōgo Hira inquiringly, and when he saw his shiny bald head under the light, he showed an expression of realization.

Yuya looked at Huopu Kyōgo and asked slowly, "How about Huopu teacher, is there anything wrong with my reasoning?"

Huopu Jingwu was silent for a moment, and then spoke as if in his last struggle: "Where is the evidence? These are just your speculations. What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"

Yuya perked up: "Of course there is evidence. If I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't be standing here."

He raised his hand and pointed to the bathroom: "There is something very crucial missing in this room."

Inspector Megure cooperated and asked, "What is it?"

Yuya said slowly, "Bottle caps of shampoo and shower gel."

Inspector Megure was a little confused: "Are there anything special about these two things?"

Youya couldn't help but look at Inspector Megure. He had just forgotten the topic they were talking about in the blink of an eye?

Inspector Megure pretended to cough and said, "Okay, Kamiya, stop keeping us in suspense."

Youye was silent for a few seconds. He really didn’t keep anyone in suspense this time!

He sighed slightly, then said, "In addition to this room, the bottle caps of shampoo and shower gel in the victim's room are also missing.

When the victim was taking a shower in his room, he may have just tossed the bottle cap off because it was a disposable item, and it was flushed down the drain with the water.”

"He probably took the bottle caps away to replace the ones that were lost in his own room. It's understandable that the shower gel caps were missing, but it's hard to avoid being surprised that the shampoo caps were also missing."

"After all, you are bald and you don't know how to wash your hair."

Huopu Jingwu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. It was unclear whether he was angry because of being called bald again and again, or he was panicked because the truth was exposed.

Inspector Megure also understood, and looked at Kyogo Hira and said in a deep voice: "I see, this can indeed be used as evidence."

Yuya added: "In addition to this, we also found the discarded waitress uniform in the trash can downstairs."

Inspector Megure was stunned: "How did it get lost there?" Didn't Kyōgo Hira only take a wallet when he left?

Yuya explained: "It's simple. When he leaves the room, he just needs to put the uniform on to hide it."

"If we just investigate, we will find that it is stained with the victim's and Hira-sensei's skin dandruff or hair, right?"

"Compared to the bottle cap, this is irrefutable evidence!"

Huopu Jingwu closed his eyes, sighed after a while, took out two bottle caps from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

The forensic officer just now squatted down quickly and put the things into the evidence bag.

Huo Pu Jing Wu turned a blind eye and said in a heavy tone: "At the critical moment, I dare not throw it away. I am scared when I think that someone might see it."

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "It seems that you admit your crime?"

Kyogo Hira let out a long sigh and admitted that the process of his murder was almost the same as Yuya's reasoning.

The relationship between Hiura Kyougo and Mizunotsuki is really just that of a novelist and his assistant.

Although the former expressed his love to the latter more than once, he was rejected every time.

The popular novel "The Telephone, the Sea and Me" was almost entirely revised and edited by Mizunotsuki, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is her work.

Kyōgo Hira didn't understand why Mizunotsuki rejected his love and yet was so devoted to this work, and the latter's answer was always known quickly.

And finally, after the gossip about the mistress was published, Kyogo Hira realized it.

Mizunotsuki's ultimate goal is to destroy his family, reputation and wealth, to bring him disgrace, and to avenge the resentment he had for his romantic life in his youth.

Facing the handcuffs on his wrists, Huo Pu Jingwu heaved a sigh of relief: "To be honest, I was relieved to be arrested. The answer to the code was supposed to be revealed on the last page, but I killed her before I could find out the answer."

At this moment, Youya suddenly said, "I love you."

Everyone looked at Youya in surprise.

Yuya said slowly: "The code in the novel is also the title of the book. The answer to "The Telephone, the Sea and Me" is 'I love you.'"

"What, what?" Huopu Jingwu stood there in a daze.
