Chapter 496 The identity of the murderer

"You mean, the murderer deliberately made such a big hole in the wall so that the table could pass through it!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Miwako Sato said with a look of surprise, feeling that it was difficult to accept such a way of thinking for a while, but Takagi Tsutomu asked unexpectedly:

"Then... If that's the case, since the murderer has already opened such a big hole, why didn't he move the table out?"

"Officer Takagi..."

Regarding Gao Mushe's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then said helplessly:
"Don't you understand...the table doesn't need to be moved out of the other room, but the murderer made such a big hole in the wall in order to move the table outside the other room into the other room."

"Hey--"

After prolonging the voice, Takagi Tsutomu couldn't help showing a very surprised expression, while Sato Miwako seemed to have connected all the words Gao Yuan said before and after, and asked in surprise:

"Could it be that the table has already been made, so it should have been taken out from the other room long ago and placed somewhere. And the murderer is killing the dead on the table... In other words, The murderer moved the body!"

Very succinctly, Miwako Sato grasped the core issue.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan smiled slightly, nodded towards Miwako Sato seriously, and then began to explain:

"That's right. Judging from the blood stains on the table, at least some blood stains should have dripped from the table to the ground before the blood stains completely solidified, but no blood stains were found in the other room, so it can be considered that the other room is not the first place. At the scene of the case, the murderer should have killed the deceased somewhere else, and after the blood had solidified, he moved the body together with the table to another room."

"But... why do you have to do such a troublesome thing?"

Takagi asked very puzzled.

"Because, for the murderer, if the body is not moved and the body is found at the scene, it is almost tantamount to declaring the identity of the murderer."

Gao Yuan explained:
"The murderer should also understand that it is easy to leave traces after moving the body of the deceased, but in order not to reveal his identity, the murderer had to move the body away. For this reason, the murderer must have racked his brains.

"Fortunately, the corpse happened to be lying on the table, and there were bloodstains on the table, so as long as the table is moved together, we can ensure that the deceased's posture will not be changed. The corpse and some traces of the scene are also removed."

Hearing this, Takagi Tsutomu couldn't help but stare, feeling that this idea is really amazing, but Sato Miwako kept thinking, but couldn't think of anything to refute this speculation.

"But in this way, where to move the corpse and the table so that it will not be suspected has become a new problem."

At this time, Gao Yuan continued:
"The table is the finished furniture of the deceased. Because it is very new, it should be a newly finished thing. Therefore, if the table is moved to the studio in another house and it looks unfinished, it is not A good disguise?"

"But in this way, the murderer must take the table with him to ensure that the posture of the deceased will not change, so the murderer can only move the table... But in this way..."

Miwako Sato has already begun to imagine this situation and began to analyze it.

"If you move the table directly into the other room, the table is too big to pass through the door of the other room!"

Takagi She also said as if he understood.

"That's right. If you simply take the table out of the other room, you just need to fold up the legs of the table, and then put the table upright, and you can move it out from the door. But now there are corpses on the table, of course it is impossible to move in vertically again." , this is something that can't be done no matter how hard you try..."

Gao Yuan explained in detail.

"That's why the murderer came up with the method of punching holes in the wall! The impossible became possible!"

Takagi was surprised.

"That's right. First hide the table behind the other room, then take out the key from the deceased's pocket to enter the other room, and lock the door for safety. Next, use the chainsaw to make holes in the wall."

Gao Yuan said:

"After the table was safely moved into the other house, the murderer began the disguise work. First cut off a section of the table leg to make the table look unfinished, and then sprinkled paint on the door, in order to make people think the murderer would There is also a reasonable explanation for the motivation of choosing to break through the wall. In the end, put the key back in the pocket of the deceased, wipe off the fingerprints, and leave the scene."

After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru thought about it for a while, and then couldn't help saying:
"Indeed, in this way, all the doubts have a reasonable explanation... But who is the murderer? How did Mr. Wise know that there would be blood in the kitchen?"

Saying this, Miwako Sato couldn't help but look at the fluorescent spot on the kitchen floor that was produced by the luminol reaction.

Takagi Wataru also had the same question.

As for this, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly:
"What's the matter? I've already talked about this, haven't you figured it out yet? When I understood that the big hole at the scene was for moving the table in, I already knew it—even the table with the corpse, by virtue of It is impossible for one person to carry it! Therefore, in addition to the murderer, there must be an accomplice.

"And after the range of known suspects has been locked down to the four people living in the main house, as long as two people's testimony is clearly suspected of covering up each other, we can basically determine who the murderer is!"

"What! That means..."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Gao Mushe finally figured out the key point, and instantly understood who the suspect was, but because the suspect's choice was too surprising, Gao Mushe still showed an unbelievable expression.

"That's right, the murderers are Nana Yamauchi and Yuta Yamauchi."

Gao Yuan stated the conclusion straightforwardly, and then began to add:

"Of course, this is also a point that can be inferred from the performance of the two when they were interviewed. But after locking them, we can start to guess the real first scene.

"And among them, their identities can be revealed at once, and it is the place where the table was originally placed. The most likely place is the kitchen! Therefore, I asked you to carry out the luminol test on the kitchen, as long as If the blood of the deceased is found here, it can be confirmed that the first crime scene is the kitchen!"

Having said that, Gao Yuan began to sort out the whole case in chronological order:
"At eleven o'clock yesterday, the deceased Yamauchi Toda finished making the table and put it in the kitchen. His nephew and daughter were probably watching TV in the kitchen at that time. After that, he may have put the The screwdriver in the waist bag was left in the kitchen, or it may be because of other things, in short, the dead returned to the kitchen again..."

Gao Yuan said, his tone became a little dignified——

"I'm afraid that was when Mr. Yamauchi Toda ran into the two brothers and sisters, doing something shameful..."
