Chapter 1031: If you can’t come up with a title, just think of it as being eaten by me
Inspector Megure was very confused. Why did the gashapon appear in that place?
Yuya took the capsule toy from Subaru Okiya, then opened the toilet lid and placed the capsule toy on the tilted toilet lid. The capsule toy slowly and steadily slid down the tilted direction.
He then spoke, "As you can see, because there was a lot of honey in the capsule, it couldn't roll normally like a colored ball. It could only slide down slowly, roll into the sump, and then continue to move forward slowly. Finally, it entered the downpipe, rolled out of the drain pipe, and stopped very close to the small window."
Inspector Megure suddenly realized, so this is how they did it?
Subaru Okiya said, "Let me add that the reason why we threw the colored balls and the capsule toys onto the roof together is because we want to use the colored balls to cover up the sound of the two objects hitting each other. Because the colored balls will fall down immediately, but the capsule toys will slide for a while before falling down.
After seeing only the colored balls, the bodyguards would mistakenly think that they were thrown by children playing in the nearby park and would leave quickly.
Inspector Megure looked at the marbles in the capsule and asked in confusion: "I know how the murder weapon was brought in, but can this kind of marbles really kill people?"
Yuya explained, "As I just said, this is for demonstration purposes. In fact, it's not marbles that are used, but heavy iron balls. As long as you put the iron balls in the socks, you can make a weapon called Blackjack. The lethality will be greatly increased, enough to kill someone."
"Mr. Hiyama was beaten to death with a blunt instrument. The evidence is the honey attached to his wound."
Yuya looked at Senba and Toku and asked calmly, "Am I right, Mr. Senba?"
Senba Hede's face was filled with shock and confusion. He said with gritted teeth, "Where's the blood? If he had beaten someone to death, there would have been blood all over his body, right? But I..."
"Because you took off all your clothes!" Youya interrupted him directly, "When you were in the bathroom, you took off all your clothes to prevent blood from splattering on your clothes. After killing someone, you rinsed yourself in the bathroom, wiped your body with the toilet paper, and flushed it down the toilet."
Xianbo Hede made gurgling sounds in his throat, his face was stiff and he couldn't speak.
Okiya Subaru said, "Then I will review the entire course of the case."
"I won't go into detail about what happened before. After recycling the iron ball in the toilet and making it into a weapon called Blackjack, Mr. Senba used the excuse that the toilet didn't flush to call the victim over and then attacked him.
The victim fled all the way to the locker room, but the door was still broken into. Even throwing away the cup to resist was of no avail and he was eventually beaten to death.
Then, you planned to wash your body in the bathroom along with the socks stained with Mr. Hiyama's blood and honey, but if you put on slippers with wet socks, the slippers would be wet, which was unreasonable, so you deliberately stepped on the glass fragments on the ground to create a reason to take off your socks, right?"
Xianbo and De's pupils trembled and they couldn't say a word of argument.
Subaru Okiya continued, "Then, you put on your clothes again and hurried back to the entrance, telling the two bodyguards about Mr. Hiyama's murder. While they rushed in to check the situation, you went outside and hid the murder weapon under the corridor of the main house."
"Teacher Subaru..." Youya called softly from the side.
But Okiya Subaru seemed not to have heard and continued with his reasoning.
"Unfortunately, the capsule was full of honey, which attracted a large number of ants. It has now been taken back by the police officers from the forensic department for testing."
"Also, you stepped on the heel, but the tip of your slipper was stained with blood. I guess that was the blood of Mr. Hiyama, the victim, right?"
"Of course," Okiya Subaru still squinted his eyes, but Senba and Toku could feel his ruthless, scrutinizing gaze, "You must have blood on your body, and the blood reaction will not disappear just by washing it with water."
Xianbo Hede's face turned pale. He was silent for a long while, and finally exhaled heavily: "Yeah, it should be all over my body. When I was washing in the bathroom, the tiles were stained red by that guy's blood."
Inspector Megure asked solemnly, "So, the motive for the murder is indeed the land transaction?"
At this point, there was no need for Xianbo Hede to continue quibbling, and he confessed everything.
The murdered Hiyama was indeed an unscrupulous real estate developer. He used sweet words to deceive Senba and De's son and daughter-in-law into buying their land. The accident that caused him to be hospitalized was also the work of Hiyama.
That piece of land was passed down from the generation of Xianbo and Grandpa De, and there was also an important grocery store.
When Xianbo and De were discharged from the hospital, all they saw was a ruin and a shaking iron ball used for demolition.
So, he also killed Hiyama with an iron ball.
After saying that, he sighed deeply, glanced at Yuya and Okiya Subaru, and said darkly: "When I found out your identity, I knew it was over. After all, I'm just a grocery store owner, and I can't hide from the eyes of a famous detective."
Then he was handcuffed and taken away by Takagi Shigeru.
At this time, Inspector Megure asked with a little confusion: "Then, what does the scissors tightly held in the deceased's hand mean?"
Yuya said: "That is the death message left by the victim."
"Death message?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise, "What does it mean?"
Yuya explained, "Among the fragments left on the ground at the scene, there were F, U, A, and R printed on them, and a D stuck inside the slippers."
"If you remove these letters from the English name of the Fusa brand, FUSAE BRAND, you will only have SEBAN. After rearranging the combination, you will get the surname Senba."
Inspector Megure was shocked: "When the door of the locker room was about to be broken into? I don't think he could have used scissors flexibly to cut the words on the cup under such circumstances."
"Chemical mechanical effect." Miyano Shiho suddenly said.
"What? What machine?" Inspector Megure was a little confused.
Shiho Miyano explained: "If you cut glass directly with scissors, the glass will break into powder. However, if it is in water, water molecules intervene in the glass, catalyzing the entire glass structure, using the characteristics of water to reduce the energy required for cutting, so that ordinary scissors can also complete the operation."
Inspector Megure was stunned: "Really? Can you demonstrate it?"
Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment: "Of course, but the cup in the locker room needs to be used as evidence, right?"
Inspector Megure said with some regret: "That's true. I'll try it myself after I return to the Metropolitan Police Department."
