Chapter 2241 Misjudgment of Vermouth's Plan

This is an obvious question. Since Ohba Satoru is dead, there must be a murderer.

At the beginning, based on a series of actions taken by Vermouth and some general information learned from the police, Gao Yuan thought that things were going in the direction of Vermouth framing Miyano Shiho.

However, as things developed to this point, after Miyano Shiho took the initiative to stand up and face the police, he further obtained the confession of the eyewitness Tatsumi Sakurako, so that the current situation has greatly deviated from what he had guessed -

At this moment, one can only say that Miyano Shiho made the right decision by choosing to face the police directly. Otherwise, Miyano Shiho and I would continue to worry about the pressure from the police search, and ultimately even our thinking would be in the wrong direction.

So, considering this point, being able to change the previous wrong direction of thinking is also a very important step forward in this regard.

Now, we need to re-evaluate the situation...

From Tatsumi Sakurako's confession, we can know that the suspect that Tatsumi Sakurako witnessed did not look exactly like Miyano Shiho. So from this point of view, given that it was Vermouth who gave the clothes to Miyano Shiho, we can at least be sure that Vermouth was behind this.

In this case, with the involvement of Vermouth, according to previous analysis, the fact that Tatsumi Sakurako was able to witness the person suspected of being the murderer was most likely a designed process. Doesn't this mean that in Vermouth's arrangement, she just wanted Miyano Shiho to be part of the police investigation, but did not intend to directly frame her?
And if that's the case, Vermouth doesn't intend to let Miyano Shiho bear the blame, then the image of the murderer...

Could it be that she has other plans?
Is there really another murderer with brown hair?
Realizing this, Gao Yuan's thoughts became heavy, and then he said to Officer Megure and the others:

"Inspector Megure, I'm afraid the police haven't finished their search of the hotel building yet..."

So, upon hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded silently, knowing that what Gao Yuan said was correct. At least now it seemed that this very suspicious "Miss Hayley" was most likely not the criminal in this case, but an innocent person who was threatened by the real murderer in an attempt to make her a scapegoat.

Faced with such a situation, Inspector Megure naturally continued to order the police officers to intensify the search inside the building. After all, the armed suspect might still be hiding somewhere. If they couldn't conduct the search in the middle of the night when there weren't many people around, once daybreak came and the Beika Central Building was open to the public, the situation would become too complicated.

As a result, Inspector Megure is now extremely worried. Although he knows that there is an armed criminal in the building, the actual situation is that he has not found any clues about the other party's identity so far. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In this regard, based on the current situation, Inspector Megure naturally could not speak to Miyano Shiho with the same harsh attitude as he had just used to interrogate a criminal. After all, judging from the current situation, she should also be considered a victim.

Therefore, after Inspector Megure asked Inspector Sato to continue to take Tatsumi Sakurako to rest, facing Miyano Shiho, who in Inspector Megure's opinion was the second witness who might know the appearance of the murderer, Inspector Megure calmed down. He knew that this "Miss Hayley" had a bad temper to begin with, and after what had just happened, it would be difficult to question her next, but...

A little helpless, Officer Megure could only face Miyano Shiho, apologized first, and said that everything that happened before was essentially to uncover the truth, so he hoped that she could help the police and tell the person who threatened her with a gun. In this regard, for Miyano Shiho, although the current situation is that Vermouth has no intention of convicting herself as a murderer, it is obvious that now, based on her words, the police began to believe that the person who threatened her was the real murderer, so she hoped that she could help the police and tell the appearance of the threatening person.

But obviously, this is impossible. She said that at the beginning just to find a seemingly reasonable excuse to face the police. After all, after learning about the general situation, Miyano Shiho also believed that Vermouth's plan was to make herself the murderer, so that she, who was forcibly restored to her original appearance by Vermouth, would have to face the police search, thereby gradually reducing her scope of action, and finally having to face the situation of confronting the organization arranged by Vermouth.

So, after realizing this, I thought that instead of stepping into the encirclement that Vermouth had prepared for me, it would be better to face the police directly...

But now it seems that it is a little unclear who is the smarter one in this choice——

After all, Vermouth did not intend to disguise herself as herself to commit the murder. Even until now, it is unclear whether Vermouth took advantage of this case or it was indeed a case she planned, and he was so self-righteous that he thought he understood her thoughts.

Now, I have to face the police's questioning and describe the appearance of a suspect whose appearance I don't know. This is really...

I can only give false testimony...

It would be terrible if I eventually found out that my description didn't match the facts...

But I guess I should have escaped from the police's sight by then, right?
So, thinking like this, there was no psychological burden, Miyano Shiho just gave a general description of "brown hair" and explained -

"I didn't see her clearly because she was masked. From her voice... she was a young woman, but other than that, I can't say anything more... After all, I was threatened by a gun, so I didn't care about any more details about the person who threatened me."

In this way, after Miyano Shiho finished speaking, Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel even more helpless.

After all, these clues make no difference whether they are revealed or not. Apart from the fact that she is a young woman with brown hair, we still don't know what kind of person the criminal is.

In response to this, just as things reached this point, a staff member from the Identification Department came up and said to Officer Megure:

"Inspector, Mr. Mingzhi asked us to investigate and found some evidence..." (End of this chapter)
