Chapter 160 Overturning Tie Zhuyu's Conjecture
In this regard, Tie Zhuyu nodded, confirming Gao Yuan's thoughts.

"In this way, I probably understand."

Gao Yuan said in a daze: "Because of the smell of gunpowder on Keiko Okumura's body and the fact that she has been to this cabin, you suspect that Keiko Okumura put gunpowder in this cabin? And that night, you discovered that Kubao Haruka was about to Keiko Okumura came to this log cabin to meet you, and you felt that something was wrong, right?"

"kindness."

After listening to Gao Yuan's summary, Tie Zhuyu did not deny it.

"In other words, you suspect that Keiko Okumura put gunpowder in this cabin. And in this season, when you come to this cabin at night, because there is no electricity here, you must light a bonfire if you want to light and heat here ..."

Gao Yuan thought about it and said, but looked at Tie Zhuyu beside him, and then finished his words without continuing.

But following this line of thinking, it is obvious that one conclusion can be drawn-Keiko Okumura probably wants to kill Kubao Haruki!
According to the content of the text message, Kubo Haruki Yokomura Keiko came to this log cabin to meet after twelve o'clock when everyone in the villa fell asleep.So according to common sense, before Keiko Okumura passed by, Haruki Kubo, who was the inviter, should have been waiting in the cabin in advance.

At night in this season, it is still in the mountains, so it must be very cold. Waiting here must find a way to keep warm.But here there is no electricity, but there is a place with a bonfire, so it is obviously a normal choice to light a bonfire to keep warm.

In other words, as long as it is known that someone will come to this cabin at night, then it is predictable that that person will light a bonfire-but what if gunpowder is placed here in advance?
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan asked Tie Zhuyu: "You guessed a possibility, so you felt uneasy, so you ran here immediately to confirm, right?"

To this, Tie Zhuyu nodded: "I...don't want Keiko to do something stupid."

With such an answer, Gao Yuan knew that his guess was right. The girl in front of him would leave the villa at that time that night, so he thought of this possibility.

"So, what's the result?"

Gao Yuan asked, "Did you find gunpowder when you came here?"

Tie Zhuyu didn't answer right away. He came to the bonfire, pointed to the pile of firewood that had burned but hadn't burnt out, and said, "It's covered with a layer of gunpowder right under here."

"After that, what did you do?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Using the tools over there, I got the gunpowder out and sprinkled it on the mountain behind the wooden house."

Tie Zhuyu pointed to a pile of tools piled up on the wall of the wooden house, and among the pile of tools were brooms and dustpans.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded, and very much agreed with the girl's approach, but soon thought of something, and hurriedly asked:

"Wait a minute, Kubo Haruki didn't show up during the whole process of you handling the gunpowder?"

"No."

Shaking his head, Tie Zhuyu said, "From when I came here to when I returned to the villa, I haven't seen anyone appear here."

"That's it."

After receiving such an answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help thinking——

According to the previous speculation, if the content of the text message is true, then according to common sense, Kubao Haruki should arrive at the cabin and wait before twelve o'clock.

According to Tie Zhuyu's previous statement, she found that Keiko Okumura was attacked at around twelve o'clock in the evening, that is to say, it should be around twelve o'clock in the evening when Tie Zhuyu returned to the villa after disposing of the gunpowder in the cabin.And the distance from the villa to the cabin is not far, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk, so the time when Tie Zhuyu left the cabin should not be far from twelve o'clock.But even so, Tie Zhuyu didn't meet Kubao Yaohui?

Or did Haruki Kubo arrive, but Keiko Okumura did not show up when he saw that the person who appeared in the cabin was not?
Wait!
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and somewhat understood why Tie Zhuyu was so sure that the murderer was Kubao Yaohui:

"That's why! That's why you say that the murderer is Kubo Haruki!"

Looking at Tie Zhuyu, Gao Yuan said so, but before Tie Zhuyu responded, Gao Yuan continued on his own:

"Kubao Haruki made an appointment with Okumura Keiko, and Okumura Keiko lived in the same room as you. If Kubao Haruki found out that the person who appeared in the cabin was you, then would you have thought that only Okumura was in the bedroom of the villa at that time? Keiko? Although it is not clear why Kubao Haruka met Keiko Okumura at night, but judging from the content of the text message, it is certain that he wanted to meet Keiko Okumura alone that night. In this case, we already know the person who was in the bedroom of the villa at that time Only Keiko Okumura is left, so going directly to the villa is the same——Is that what you think?"

After listening to Gao Yuan's inference, Tie Zhuyu nodded:
"Yes, since Kubao Haruki sent a text message to Keiko, it is impossible for him not to come. And when he finds out that the person in the cabin is me, he may go directly to the villa to find Keiko. In this case..."

"In this way, the two of them will meet directly in the bedroom. After that, they didn't know what conflict happened between them. Kubao Haruki stabbed Keiko Okumura and fled. Afterwards, Keiko Okumura deliberately said that he didn't know each other in order to protect Kubao Haruki The one who attacked her."

Gao Yuan added, and then asked Tie Zhuyu for confirmation: "Is what I said correct?"

"Correct!"

Tie Zhuyu affirmed with some excitement, "That's what I think!"

As she spoke, she seemed a little frustrated: "However, in order to cover up Keiko's behavior, I can't..."

"But it's a pity, Miss Zhu Yu."

Gao Yuan interrupted Tie Zhuyu, "Your guess should be wrong."

"Hey?"

Tie Zhuyu was puzzled.

"You came here to deal with the gunpowder that night. It was dark at night, and this wooden house was not powered on, so there was no lighting. And because of the gunpowder, you couldn't light a bonfire."

Gao Yuan explained, "Therefore, your only means of lighting at that time was, at most, things like flashlights. I'm not wrong, am I right?"

Tie Zhuyu nodded.

So, Gao Yuan continued: "Then, here comes the problem. Since you didn't find that Kubao Yaohui appeared, it is obvious that even if he was at the scene at that time, he should not have approached you. There is only the light of the flashlight, and he did not approach you. How can he be sure that the person who was in the cabin at that time was not Keiko Okumura, but you?"

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu was stunned.

"In that case, it is impossible for Kubo Haruki to recognize who you are without approaching you, but he will take it for granted that the person who appeared in the cabin at that time was Keiko Okumura. In this way, no matter what , he will choose to be close to you."

Gao Yuan said, "You and Keiko Okumura have similar hair colors. In that case, only when you are very close can Kubao Haruki realize that you are not Keiko Okumura. But it's the same, at such a close distance, you You should be able to find Kubo Haruki too."

"But... I didn't find out..."

Tie Zhuyu said in a panic.

"So I said, your guess is probably wrong."

Gao Yuan said.

"Then... in the end, what's going on!"

Tie Zhuyu questioned Gao Yuan with some breakdowns.

Looking at the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, then put his hands on Tie Zhuyu's shoulders, stared at Tie Zhuyu seriously and said:
"Miss Zhu Yu, have you ever thought about how things would have developed if you hadn't peeked at that text message?"

　Thank you for your reward
