Chapter 495 The Table and the Big Hole

"Hey! Mr. Wise already knows who the murderer is!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Sato Miwako and Takagi Tsutomu couldn't help asking in surprise.

"Well, almost."

Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively.

"However, the inquiry just now obviously didn't provide any useful clues, why..."

Takagi asked in bewilderment.

"The inquiry just now, I was just confirming one thing. In fact, when I understood why the murderer made a hole in the wall, I already understood what happened this time."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but replied:
"As long as you figure out why the murderer made a hole in the wall, all doubts will be solved naturally!"

"Is that right?"

Takagi She was still a little puzzled and said:

"But, no matter how I think about it, it doesn't occur to me that a hole in the wall would do the murderer any good."

"Well... So, could it be that the murderer wanted to cover up some traces?"

Miwako Sato began to think seriously.

"Cover up the traces?"

Hearing this, Takagi asked suspiciously.

"Before the murderer committed the crime, didn't he have a dispute with the victim? Because the buttons on the deceased's body were ripped off, and there were bruises on his face. If you think about it this way, the murderer may have been counterattacked by the victim. Wouldn't it be that time, when the murderer was hit on the wall by the dead, leaving bloodstains or something like that?"

Miwako Sato considered this possibility very seriously.

"Oh I got it!"

And hearing Miwako Sato's conjecture, Takagi Tsutomu felt very reasonable, so he couldn't help but respond:

"The blood splattered on the wall, even if you wipe off the blood, you can't escape the luminol test. So if you want to completely remove the blood, the best way is to use a chainsaw to saw off the blood on the wall.

"And if only a small piece of the wall that was stained with blood is cut off, and there are very obvious marks on the wall, it will look very suspicious. In order to cover up this, the murderer simply opened a hole on the wall." Big hole, so that we can cover up the traces left by the murderer at the scene!"

Takagi was very motivated, and expressed his thoughts in one breath, which attracted Miwako Sato to give him a very approving look, feeling that this idea coincided with his own.

"But if you want to cover up the traces on the wall, just make more small holes."

Gao Yuan couldn't help pouring cold water on their idea, and couldn't help saying:
"In theory, it is more important for the murderer to leave the scene of the crime as soon as possible. Although according to your statement, the bigger the hole, the better, but it is meaningless to waste so much time opening the hole."

"But, if this is not the case, we really can't think of a reason why the murderer insisted on opening this hole?"

Seeing that his conjecture was denied, Takagi couldn't help but said a little disappointed.

"The crux of the problem is not just that the murderer made a hole in the wall, but why did he have to make such a big hole..."

Gao Yuan tried to express his conjecture, but before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but stop the topic, and said instead:
"All in all, you should do what I said first and go investigate."

In this regard, Sato Miwako and Takagi Tsutomu looked at each other, and had no choice but to follow Gao Yuan's instructions and launched an investigation——

"It turned out...but why?"

In the kitchen of the main house, Miwako Sato and Sato Takagi looked at the luminol reaction detected on the kitchen floor, their expressions could not help but become very puzzled, and they turned to look at Takato aside.

Faced with the result that appeared in front of him, Gao Yuan seemed to be relieved, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help a relaxed smile, and then couldn't help saying:
"In this way, we can basically be sure that the kitchen is the first crime scene!"

"what!"

For this answer, Sato Miwako and Gao Muwa were very shocked, they didn't know what to say, they just looked at Gao Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

"Don't you feel a little strange about the scene in the other house?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help explaining this:

"First of all, you guys still remember the table with the corpse lying on it. That table has one table leg that is shorter than the other three. If you lean on it, the table will make a 'click' sound and tilt. Get up, right. Why do you think this is?"

"Because the table is not finished yet?"

Tentatively, Takagi Tsutomu replied.

And Gao Yuan also nodded in response to this, and said:

"Of course it is right to think so. But if this is the case, then there is a contradiction in the scene in the other room-on a table with different corners, a man whose head was pierced by a screwdriver fell upside down, so the whole It’s natural for the table to be tilted, right? Then, shouldn’t the blood flowing from the head of the deceased follow the angle of the table and stay from the table?”

"However, there is no blood on the ground of the other house..."

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Miwako Sato immediately realized the crux of the problem, and said in deep thought.

"You can take a closer look at the table where the deceased was lying. The shape of the dried blood was basically solidified at the position facing the head of the deceased. Only a few bloodstains flowed from the blood and moved to the edge of the table. But on the whole, there are not so obvious traces of the bloodstains mainly flowing in a certain direction due to the tilt of the table."

Hearing this, Sato Miwako and Gao Muwa were suddenly surprised, and then took out the photos of the scene, carefully looked at the blood on the table where the deceased was, and found that it was indeed what Gao Yuan said.

So Miwako Sato wondered:

"So... that is to say, the table didn't actually tilt before the bloodstains solidified?"

"Yes."

Gao Yuan nodded and continued:

"Judging from the shape of the blood stains, when the victim was killed, the four legs of the table should have been of the same length. In other words, the table should have been completed when the murder occurred. However, after committing the crime, the murderer When the blood dries up, one of the legs of the table is sawed off, which makes the table look unfinished."

In this regard, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru continued to look at the photos at the scene, thought about it carefully, and then nodded involuntarily:

"Indeed, if you think about it this way, it should be like this."

Miwako Sato said:
"But why did the murderer do this?"

Even more puzzled, Takagi asked.

"Because, wouldn't it be weird if the table left in the studio had already been made?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help saying:
"If the table has already been made, it would be more normal to take it out and use it."

"But... it's also possible that it has just been made, and it hasn't had time to take it out yet?"

Sato Miwako asked.

"Yes, you can think about it that way."

Gao Yuan agreed with Miwako Sato's thinking and said:

"But when it comes to the big hole in the scene, then the whole thing is actually clear at once—"

After speaking, Gao Yuan couldn't help but paused, and then explained seriously:
"Don't you think that big hole in the wall is just big enough for the table to go through?"
