Chapter 357 The Truth Comes Out
"Sir, what are you talking about!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Takahashi Ryoichi couldn't help saying strangely:
"She is Atsuko! She is the screenwriter of our university's film research club, Amamiya Atsuko! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!"

"Yes, Mr. Wise, it's too outrageous for you to ask such a question!"

Kakutani Hiroki also continued, completely unable to understand why Gao Yuan would ask such a question.

"We and Atsuko are also friends of the same club, no matter how we say it, we won't admit the wrong person."

Ota Katsuki couldn't help but say.

"Mr. Wise, what is the meaning of your question?"

Suzuki Ayako asked like this.

Hearing what these people said, Gao Yuan looked around at the crowd, and then asked:
"I remember what you said - two years ago, when Ms. Chikako Ikeda won the Newcomer Award, you were supposed to celebrate, but you didn't have a party to celebrate, and, before this party, you had two years Haven't seen it before, have you?"

"Yes."

Suzuki Ayako replied, but still looked puzzled:
"But what does that have to do with this incident?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan smiled lightly, and then said:

"That is to say, after Chikako Ikeda won the award, until this gathering, you have actually never met face to face!"

"So what is it!"

Takahashi Ryoichi roared:
"Even if we haven't seen each other for two years, Atsuko is Atsuko! It's impossible for us to admit our mistakes!"

"Is that really the case?"

Gao Yuan looked at the emotional Takahashi Ryoichi, and said in a serious tone:

"Do you really think that the Atsuko Amamiya standing in front of you is really the same person as the Atsuko you met in college?"

"It's all said!"

Ryoichi Takahashi had an emotional attack and said angrily:

"How could we have mistaken Atsuko!"

"Really……"

In this regard, Gao Yuan sighed, and then said slowly:

"So, Ms. Suzuki, I remember you said that the movies you created during college are all simple love stories, right?"

"Well, that's right."

Suzuki Ayako was a little dazed, and replied inexplicably.

"So, that is to say, the scripts you wrote during college are all about love stories, right?"

Gao Yuan continued.

"kindness."

Nodding, Suzuki Ayako said.

After getting such an answer, Gao Yuan's tone became a little puzzled:

"Then, don't you think it's strange? Why did Atsuko Amamiya debut as a novelist two years after graduation, and her work was a suspense mystery novel!"

With that said, Gao Yuan looked around the crowd and continued:

"As a screenwriter of the Film Research Institute, Atsuko Amamiya must have written most of your scripts during college, so the scripts she wrote at that time must also be related to love stories. So why did she write in a different style after two years of graduation? How can there be such a big change?"

"What kind of reason is this!"

Takahashi Ryoichi said angrily:
"Maybe it's just that Atsuko changed her style to write about what she's really good at!"

"Really? Then when you were in college, did anyone know that Miss Amamiya Atsuko is really good at writing mystery stories?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but asked back, his eyes swept over everyone again, and seeing that no one responded, it seemed that he was really unclear about this question, so Gao Yuan continued:

"Also, it's not only Ms. Atsuko Amamiya who is strange, but also Ms. Chikako Ikeda."

After a short pause, Gao Yuan recalled pretending to think, and then said:

"I searched for Ms. Chikako Ikeda's room and found the manuscript of her next script, which is called "The Murder of the Masked Monster"-although it is not finished, judging from the content of the plot, there is no doubt that it is a mystery. Class works!"

"so what?"

Hearing this, Katsuo Ota's expression changed slightly, and he asked with an inexplicable sigh.

"It seems Mr. Ota probably guessed something, right?"

Seeing Masaru Ota's reaction, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said, but Masaru Ota just took out a cigarette, lit it, took a sip, and there was no one to continue talking, so Gao Yuan continued:

"The two people changed their writing styles at the same time, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

As he said that, Gao Yuan looked at the group of people from the university film research club at the scene, and saw Katsuo Ota silently smoking a cigarette, Hiroki Kakutani lowering his head slightly, Ryoichi Takahashi with a horrified expression, and Ayako Suzuki with a bewildered expression. After the situation, began to explain:
"Of course, the following is just my guess, and there is no actual evidence to testify. If I'm wrong...Atsuko Amamiya, please tell the truth—after all, this is the end of the matter. What you hide behind is No chance of ruining it."

Hearing this, Atsuko Amamiya's eyes widened, and she was still a little persistent, but at this moment she collapsed, lowered her head, a little at a loss——

"I guess, the script that Ms. Chikako Ikeda is writing now is not written by herself, but someone else wrote it for her. The person who wrote it should be Miss Atsuko Amamiya."

Gao Yuan explained:
"And, not only that. If my guess is correct, Ms. Chikako Ikeda's debut work, "The Blue Kingdom", may also be Ms. Atsuko Amamiya's work!"

"What! How could it be!"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Xiao Lan covered her lips with her hands and said in surprise.

"how can that be……"

Suzuki Ayako is also somewhat unbelievable:
"Could it be that Mr. Wise thinks that the reason why Atsuko killed Chikako is this..."

"No, if it's just to get revenge on Ms. Chikako's plagiarism, it would be too much to dismember Ms. Chikako's body. Obviously, the murderer hated Ms. Chikako to the bone! But if this is the case, with the first plagiarism experience, For no reason, Ms. Atsuko will help Ms. Zhijiazi to write it again!"

Conan spoke the key point through Yuanzi's voice.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and said with some regret:
"If it's just plagiarism, if you want to take revenge, there are obviously more means. It is not necessary to go to the step of murder. In connection with the change of Miss Amamiya Atsuko's writing style after her debut, if my guess is correct—the real Atsuko Amamiya , Ms. Chikako Ikeda committed suicide after she won the Newcomer Award for the work "Blue Kingdom"! The Miss Amamiya Atsuko standing in front of us should be just a person who looks very similar to Amamiya Atsuko , may be a real relative of Atsuko Amamiya!"

"what!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present were shocked. Faced with Gao Yuan's guess, they couldn't accept it for a while, and they didn't even believe Gao Yuan's statement at all.

However, for Gao Yuan, this is indeed the most likely scenario based on the existing evidence and after thinking about the plot of the original work——

"As for whether this guess is correct or not, we can confirm it when we leave here tomorrow and let the police investigate..."

"Ah--"

Before Gao Yuan finished speaking, "Atsuko Amamiya", who had lowered his head and remained silent, let out a sneer——

"What a fantasy reasoning... But, it was really guessed by you."

"Atsuko Amamiya" looked disappointed, and confirmed the correctness of Gao Yuan's statement:

"The matter has come to this point, and I can't hide it anymore..."

With that said, "Atsuko Amamiya" raised his head, looked at the people in front of him and said:
"That's right, I'm not sister Atsuko. I'm her sister, Ryoko!"

"what!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the film research club of the university couldn't help but turn pale with shock, especially Takahashi Ryoichi, whose expression became terrified——

"No, you lied to me! You are Atsuko..."

"Takahashi... Everyone, I'm sorry, I lied to you."

Ryoko Amamiya bowed to everyone and said:
"Sister Dunzi committed suicide two years ago."

"suicide!"

When Ota Katsuki heard this, his expression changed a little.

"Ota, do you know something?"

Seeing this, Hiroki Kakutani couldn't help asking.

In response, Ota Katsuki lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said sadly:

"Actually, when I was in the club, I discovered that Zhijiazi would sometimes treat the achievements made by everyone as her own achievements to receive awards... So, when I learned that Zhijiazi won the newcomer award, I also had this kind of guess ——Perhaps, her award-winning works are not all due to her alone... After all, when she was in the club, Chikako liked to order the talkative Atsuko to help her write something..."

"Why... the normally cheerful Atsuko would..."

Takahashi Ryoichi took two steps back and said in surprise.

"It's because she is so cheerful, and she doesn't complain when Chikako orders her so much, so I don't care..."

Ota Katsuki couldn't help but say.

"If you just help with the writing and take all the credit, Ms. Dunzi probably wouldn't commit suicide..."

Conan guessed in Sonoko's voice.

"Yes."

Ryoko Amamiya nodded:

"At the beginning, we didn't understand why the sister who just graduated committed suicide suddenly... After all, she is such a cheerful person, she is full of hope to become a novelist in the future, and she is working hard for it..."

As she said that, a tear flowed from the corner of Amamiya Ryoko's eyes, and her tone became resentful——

"However, when I sorted out my sister's belongings, I found the manuscript of the novel she wrote before, and I completely understood—the novel she wrote called "The Azure Kingdom", the plot is similar to the "Azure Kingdom" that just happened to be released. Cyan Kingdom" is exactly the same!"

"Chikako, you completely copied Atsuko's work..."

Somewhat choked, Takahashi Ryoichi said in a daze.

"The day my sister committed suicide happened to be the day Chikako won the award!"

Ryoko Amamiya continued.

"How come... such an important matter, we don't even know..."

Tears flowed from the corners of Suzuki Ayako's eyes, and she was a little emotionally broken-it was a rare gathering with friends she hadn't seen for two years, but one friend died tragically, but she accidentally learned that another friend died two years ago. has passed away.

"Because we happened to be busy graduating and going our separate ways, so no one cared about where we were going..."

Ota Katsuki lowered his head and said with some regret.

"But if that's the case, why would you come to the party as Atsuko, and why would Chikako pretend to be 'Bandage Freak' at the party?"

Kakutani Hiroki asked puzzled.

"At that time, I went to find Zhijiazi because she plagiarized her sister's work, but Zhijiazi mistook me for my sister who looked exactly like her sister, and also thought that she had already made her debut in the industry and accumulated a lot of connections. Come and threaten me, saying that if I want to debut as a novelist smoothly, it is best to cooperate with her, so everyone can win-win."

Ryoko Amamiya wiped away her tears, and said angrily:
"I originally wanted to tell the truth and question her. However, when I think that my sister has passed away, no one can prove who wrote the plot of that work first. Even if I tell the truth, there is a high probability that it will not affect Chikako. , so I agreed to her condition, and debuted under my sister's pseudonym, Atsuko Deben, and began to slowly look for opportunities to take revenge on Chikako!"

After a pause, Ryoko Amamiya's tone was a little sad:

"My sister and I have the same ambitions, but we are good at different fields. She likes beautiful love stories, while my hobby is rigorous reasoning stories. Perhaps because of this, my sister and I are good at academics. It's different, so I didn't go to the same school as my sister in college, but went to a public university far away in Yasuki, so you don't know that my sister has me as a sister, right..."

"Indeed, Atsuko never seems to have mentioned her family to us..."

Kakutani Hiroki said in a daze.

Speaking of this, Ryoko Amamiya couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan——

"Mr. Wise, since you have already guessed to this extent, you obviously already know the whole picture of this incident! Then it is up to you to explain--it is the prisoner's last hope to be solved by the detectives. Fate..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan nodded:
"The script you gave to Ms. Chikako Ikeda, although the plot of the case is very exciting, but the behavior and language of the characters have a great sense of disobedience-I think you should have written it like this on purpose.

"Miss Chikako Ikeda made her debut by plagiarizing, and this script is a type she is not good at. Perhaps because the plot is really exciting, she is reluctant to give up this script, so, in order to write a better script, you ask She made a suggestion - use this party to create exactly the same scenario as in the script!

"You just need to convince her to play a scary weirdo like in the script to frighten us at the party, then you can record our real reactions through observation and write them into the script—after all, Compared with creating without reason, it is more convincing to adapt it based on real content!
"However, Ms. Chikako Ikeda never thought that this is the script you specially wrote to kill her!"

Gao Yuan said so, with a sad expression on his face:

"But, even you didn't expect that there was me, the detective, among the people at the party. Several times you tried to scare everyone with 'Bandage Monster', to make everyone mess up, and cut the phone line, Cut us off from the outside world completely - that was your plan.

"But because of my obstruction, not only did everyone act together in an orderly manner, but also repaired the telephone line, which made Chikako Ikeda's plan to see how we reacted when we panicked, completely unable to progress. Moreover, this also made it impossible for you to find Seeing the opportunity to kill Chikako Ikeda.

"So, in order to eliminate my interference, you put sleeping pills in Xiao Ai's food, and asked Ikeda Zhijiazi to take Xiao Ai away, and let me mess around in search of Xiao Ai, thus creating a chance for you to kill Ikeda Zhijiazi! "

With that said, Gao Yuan paused for a moment, and gave the decisive evidence:

"After you killed Chikako Ikeda, you appeared in front of me dressed up as the 'Bandage Monster', and performed a scene of the 'Bandage Monster' falling off a cliff——I think you should have been here long ago and learned about it terrain, so this kind of plan can be made.

"However, the cloak and other props that fell off the cliff may be found by the police sooner or later, so the cloak that fell off should not be the one you were wearing at the time, otherwise, once the cloak under the cliff is found by the police, it will be taken from above. Finding the traces that you have passed through is the decisive evidence.

"So, the cloak you were wearing at that time should be hidden somewhere by you. In order to lead out who is the murderer, and also to let the murderer lead us to find the evidence, that's why I disappeared and played the 'bandage weirdo' 'The drama that reappeared--

"After all, as the real murderer, he must know that the reappearing 'Bandage Monster' could only be played by the missing me, and the murderer must also know my purpose, so in order not to be found by me, after confirming that I was killed by Xiaolan and the others After chasing and running, the murderer will definitely quickly find an opportunity to dispose of the evidence..."

"Yes."

Ryoko Amamiya said sadly, "I thought, after killing Zhijiazi, I didn't have much time to process the evidence, so I could only hide it in one place and find a way to deal with it at night. But I didn't expect you to be one step ahead I knew what you were going to do when I left the villa. So I had no choice but to take the risk, but I didn't expect..."

Saying that, Ryoko Amamiya looked at Sonoko who was still sleeping on the tree——

"I didn't expect you, Yuanzi, to have such a good reasoning ability."

After finishing speaking, continue to look at Gao Yuan:
"By the way, what's wrong with your eyes?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan touched the swelling of his left eye helplessly, while Xiao Lan, who was beside him, immediately lowered his head in embarrassment...
