Chapter 169 The Next Stage
"Stage [-]: You guessed the truth of the matter, and rescued Ooka Momiji at the last moment, perfectly solving the incident. And because of your performance, you have won the praise of the Ooka family. Now, you can propose that to Ooka Momiji Request, after all, you have already guessed."

"Phase [-] has been opened, and the settlement of Phase [-] is now started"

"Logic: S"

"Knowledge: S"

"Courage: A"

"Phase [-] Comprehensive Evaluation: S"

Lying in the hospital, after a simple bandage, Gao Yuan saw that a new stage had begun.

"Mr. Wise, are you...really okay?"

At this time, standing beside the hospital bed where Gao Yuan was lying, Tie Zhuyu looked at Gao Yuan worriedly and asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gao Yuan said in relief.

"However, being hit by such a fast car and flying away, it was only a minor injury, which is really unbelievable."

Iori Muga who was on the side said in a little surprise.

"This is actually a misunderstanding!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help explaining, "It looks like I was hit by a car. In fact, I jumped into the cabin before the car hit me, so I was not directly hit by the car. I was just hit by the slope of the front windshield. It got on the roof and just fell off the top."

"But no matter what, it's too dangerous!"

Tie Zhuyu said worriedly.

"It happened so suddenly, I don't have time to think so much. And you also subconsciously went to save Miss Ooka at that time."

Gao Yuan said in relief.

"However, to be able to make such a reaction in such a short period of time, Mr. Wise is really amazing."

Iori Muga sincerely admired.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan just smiled helplessly—of course, this is not something ordinary people can do, but when he realized it at the time, he had already chosen to run out to save Tie Zhuyu. I am really betting my life:

"Name: The Hanged Man"

"Special effect: You can drop any object with a mass of no more than 200 kilograms that touches the "Hermit". After using this effect, you cannot use it again within 24 hours."

With my own strength, it is of course impossible to jump onto the engine room at that moment. I was betting on the effect of "The Hanged Man" - after all, according to the description of this special effect, it did not say that this "can fall The object of “falling down” cannot be myself!

What's more, the effect of force is mutual.

It seemed that he jumped into the cabin, but in fact, at the moment when the car hit the "hermit", Gao Yuan used the effect of "hanged man" and threw himself up!

But it is not so much a fall, and the final movement to achieve this effect, it is better to say that it is the process of supporting the cabin cover with hands, then jumping up, and then falling.

Of course, the strength used at that moment was something that Gao Yuan would never be able to use normally.

"However, I really didn't expect that the murderer's real target was Miss Hongye."

Iori Muga said with lingering fear——

The murderer who was wearing a helmet at that time, after pushing away Iori Muga, pulled out his dagger, went straight to Ooka Momiji, and was about to stab the fallen Ooka Momiji.But fortunately, Gao Yuan was already prepared at that time. After getting up from the ground, he rushed forward to knock down the murderer and subdue him.

"For this, I am very grateful to Mr. Zhizhi for saving Miss Hongye."

Iori Muga said solemnly.

"But if you have to say it, Mr. Wise should have already guessed the truth."

Just as we were talking, an uninvited guest came in directly from outside the ward, looked at Gao Yuan and said, then a striped squirrel jumped onto Gao Yuan's hospital bed from the man's shoulder, and finally jumped onto Gao Yuan's palm—it was Ling Officer Fumimaro Koji.

Koyo Ooka also followed Police Officer Fumimaro Ayanokoji into the ward.

"After all, the murderer is..."

"The male clerk at the convenience store."

Interrupting Ayanokouji Fumimaro's words, Gao Yuan said clearly.

Hearing this, Fummaro Ayanokouji showed a helpless smile, and then said in a reproachful tone:

"Sure enough. When we find out the identity of the murderer, we will understand what you mean by asking us to investigate the clerk of the convenience store. But since you knew it earlier, you should tell us the police, and we can do better Make arrangements accordingly, so as not to make such a big commotion like now."

"After all, I wasn't very sure about this conjecture at the time, Officer Ayanokōji."

Gao Yuan also said helplessly about this, "There was too little evidence at that time, and I just made a bold guess."

"But in this case, things are a little strange. If the murderer's purpose is to kill Miss Ooka, then why did he kill Keiko Okumura in the villa that day?"

Ayanokōji Fumimaro asked, "Now the murderer refuses to say anything in the police station. If we don't find some evidence, I'm afraid we won't be able to pry his mouth open."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smiled, and said: "About this, I think you can find the answer from Kubao Yaohui."

"Hey? Why does it have something to do with him?"

Ayanokōji Fumimaro asked puzzledly.

"Because, if the murderer targeted Ms. Ooka in the first place, then the attack in the villa should not have existed, but in fact the attack did occur in the villa."

Gao Yuan began to explain.

"At that time, I thought the murderer wanted to kill Ms. Zhu Yu, but because Ms. Zhu Yu left the villa first, the murderer misjudged the people in the villa, so he accidentally injured Keiko Okumura. And because it was night, Keiko Okumura and Zhu Yu The young ladies all have brown hair, the murderer may admit his mistake."

"This conjecture is indeed reasonable, and our police later investigated based on this. However, this conjecture does not match the current facts after all."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"So then I thought of another possibility."

Gao Yuan said, "Since the murderer can admit his mistake once, why can't he admit his mistake a second time. After all, speaking of brown hair, besides Keiko Okumura and Ms. Moroha, there was a third person there that day!"

"it's me?"

Ooka Hongye couldn't help but speak at this time.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan said, "Of course, this is just an unrealistic fantasy of mine without any evidence. I really took this guess as a possibility to investigate, and I still listened to Miss Zhu Yu's talk about what happened in a convenience store that day. after things."

"Hey? Why?"

Tie Zhuyu asked in puzzlement.

"Because, if the murderer repeatedly admits to the wrong person, there is only one possibility."

Gao Yuan said, "That means the murderer doesn't know the person he intends to kill at all."

"If you don't know him, why kill him?"

Ayanokoji Fumimaro was puzzled.

"I don't know it, but it doesn't mean I don't know it at all."

Gao Yuan said something confusing, "For example, the murderer may know this person, know this person's name, and know that this person has short brown hair, but he has never seen this person's appearance, like this I don't know."

"You mean to say that the murderer wants to kill Miss Ooka, knows Miss Ooka's name, and knows that Miss Ooka has short brown hair, but has never met Miss Ooka herself. Is that what you mean?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said with some understanding.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan said.

"So I speculate that the murderer may have some reason to kill Miss Ooka, but he has never met Miss Ooka. He only knows that Miss Ooka has short brown hair. So when the murderer learned about Miss Ooka's itinerary, he prepared to When I laid an ambush in advance, I found that two of the people present at that time fit the characteristics of short brown hair, so what should the murderer do at this time?"

With that said, Gao Yuan looked at Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu.

"Then naturally, we should find a way to find out their respective names, and then prepare to do it."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"However, if a stranger asks the names of two female high school students face to face, it is very likely that they will not be able to find out."

Gao Yuan said, "So the murderer came up with a way to secretly put things from the convenience store into the bags of the two high school girls, and in the name of slandering them for stealing, he could justifiably ask them to show their student ID cards to confirm their identities."

"Wait a minute! Mr. Wise!"

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, "Isn't Kubao Yaohui the one who did this?"

"Did you see Kubo Haruki put things in your bags with your own eyes, or did you see the monitoring content?"

Gao Yuan asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu were a little dumbfounded.

"At that time, Kubao Yaohui was harassing Miss Zhuyu all the way, so it was inevitable, how could you who are tired of him let him approach casually, and put things into your bags?"

Gao Yuan said.

"That is to say..."

"Kubao Haruki, you're lying!"

Before Ayanokoji Fumimaro finished speaking, Gao Yuan said with certainty——in contact with Kubo Haruki in the interrogation room, maybe the story he told four years ago was true, but what happened afterwards, as well as the change in his attitude, It made Gao Yuan doubt what he said, until Gao Yuan didn't intend to continue the chat, and when he got up to leave, the last sentence Kubao Yaohui said convinced Gao Yuan of this.

"In this case, why did the clerk stop Kubo Haruki with the surveillance?"

Tie Zhuyu asked in puzzlement.

"Probably because of cooperation."

Gao Yuan said, "The murderer slandered you and tried to get you to show your student ID card, so it would be difficult to know your names directly from you. At this moment, Kubao Yaohui came forward to help you out. Maybe the murderer saw that Knowing Kubao Haruki's intention to attack Miss Zhu Yu, so I decided to ask Kubao Haruki for your names on the pretext of helping him."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan paused and continued.

"Actually, regarding the fact that the murderer killed the wrong person in the villa, there is a problem that has not been resolved, that is, the text message sent to Keiko Okumura, and the murderer needs to know the staffing in the villa. It is impossible for outsiders to know this, but If it was Kubo Haruki, then everything can be explained. But, Kubo Haruki had an alibi that night."

"However, Kubo Haruki doesn't have to do it himself!"

Fumimo Ayanokouji caught the point.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan said.

"Wait a moment!"

Ooka Hongye said in surprise, "If you say that, doesn't it mean that Kubao Haruki wants to kill Zhu Yu!"

"you can say it this way."

Gao Yuan said.

"but why?"

Ayanokōji Fumimaro asked.

"Officer Ayanokōji, do you still remember what Kubo Haruki said in the interrogation room?"

Gao Yuan said, "At the beginning, he was intoxicated talking about what happened four years ago, and used it to satirize me, trying to gain a sense of psychological superiority, but it didn't work. So then he changed his attitude and pretended to be cheated by me. He looked crushed and told about the convenience store. In the end, I didn’t pay much attention to his leaving, and he finally said something, trying to make me stay.”

"Yes, but what's the matter?"

Ayanokoji Fumimaro was puzzled.

"Actually, when he talked about the convenience store, I almost believed that he was a little overwhelmed by my stimulation, so I told the truth."

Gao Yuan said, "But when I chose to leave, and he said something emphatic, I realized that his attitude towards me has not changed throughout the whole process—he has always wanted to overwhelm me psychologically!"

"At the beginning, he talked about what happened four years ago. Of course, these things are likely to be true, but they were just embellished by his fantasy. He wanted to use this to satirize me and gain psychological satisfaction. But it didn't work, so the first The second time, starting from my career, I told me the truth I wanted to know with lies, so as to satisfy him psychologically. But because I was in a hurry to leave at that time, he thought I was not fooled, and he Tell the truth, you want me to stay."

Gao Yuan analyzed, "But it is precisely because of this last sentence that he exposed his thoughts—Miss Zhu Yu is the person he has seen the most like the person he remembers in these years. In other words, it is his dream But ah, the best dreams are always out of reach!"

"A dream that is within reach is not a dream. When a dream appears in front of you, the best way is to destroy it..."

Ayanokōji Fumimaro said thoughtfully, and then felt a chill hit his heart, "It's really perverted!"

"Isn't he a pervert?"

Gao Yuan said meaningfully, "So I guess that Kubao Yaohui approached Ms. Zhuyu at the beginning, just to kill you, so when he heard the murderer's cooperation plan, an idea popped out of his mind-he put The names of Ms. Zhu Yu and Ms. Ooka have been changed, making the murderer think that Ms. Zhu Yu is Ms. Ooka."

Very outrageous guess, but in the settlement panel, "logic" gave "S", which means that my guesses are all correct, but the order of my guesses is completely different from what I have explained now.

I started to guess from the name of the case "Kyoto Famous Family" in the promotion challenge task, and from the very beginning, I regarded Ooka Hongye as the real target of the murderer, and combined all the clues to guess.

It is precisely because of this kind of conjecture that when I saw Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu appearing together today, I kept my mind in advance, so when an accident happened, I reacted immediately and rescued him. they.

"That way, everything makes sense."

Gao Yuan said, "The murderer wanted to kill Miss Ooka, but was misled by Kubao Yaohui into thinking that Miss Moroha was Miss Ooka, and then with the assistance of Kubao Yaohui, he carried out the attack plan that night by means of text messages, but there was no Thinking that the murderer killed the wrong person because of an accident. After that, the murderer started to follow Miss Zhu Yu, and after a few days, it would be easy to realize that Kubao Yaohui had actually lied to himself."

"By the way, as Ryoko Nishio said, that night, Kubo Haruka's strange attitude was because he thought that his dream would be killed at night, so he was so disappointed. Moreover, because Keiko Okumura didn't go shopping that day, So I haven't been to a convenience store, so naturally I don't know who the murderer is."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and added.

Hearing this, Ayanokouji Fumino helplessly said, "Then, Mr. Sensible, is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Sorry, the above are just my guesses."

Gao Yuan also said helplessly, "If I have to say it, the surveillance of the hospital that day should be able to find the picture of the murderer entering the hospital. The rest is to find evidence of Kubao Yaohui's contact with the murderer and the identity of the murderer It has to do with the motive of committing the crime."

Thinking about it, Gao Yuan could only make such a suggestion. After all, if he had to say it, the "observation" score this time did not enter the top three. He should have missed a lot of details. If it wasn't for his "courage", he accidentally got an "A" score , I am afraid that this stage will not reach "S".

"Really."

As Fumimaro Ayanokouji said, he stretched out his hand, and the striped squirrel jumped back on him again, "Then, let us police investigate in these directions."

Saying that, Police Officer Ayanokōji Fumimaro said goodbye and left the ward.

"However, I have to say that Mr. Sensible who can come up with such a guess is also very amazing."

Ooka Hongye couldn't help saying this.

"By the way, Mr. Wise, because you sacrificed your life to save me today, if I don't say anything, it would be too rude. So, may I ask, Mr. Wise, what can I do for you?"

Politely, Ooka Momiji asked with an elegant bow.

"Well, I do have something I want to ask Ms. Ooka for help."

After Gao Yuan thought for a while, he said unceremoniously, "Excuse me, Mr. Ooka Kiyosaku, do you know him?"
