Crime scene: 162 mystery solving puzzles to find out who the murderer is

Chapter 156 Murder in the Studio
After model Minako broke up with her boyfriend Yamamoto, Yamamoto became murderous.

On this day, Minako was working as a model in the painter Yoshino's studio. Yoshino went out halfway, and Yamamoto took the opportunity to enter the studio, strangled Minako to death with stockings, dragged her body away, and found a place to hide it.

Yoshino didn't see Minako after returning to the studio, but he saw the scene was messy and inspired, so he drew the environment of the scene. Two hours later, Yamamoto hid the body and remembered that the murder stockings were left in the studio, so he turned back and waited for an opportunity to retrieve them.However, he was very anxious when he saw Yoshino drawing pictures out of the window, and seeing the silk stockings still prominently placed there.

After another 5 hours, Yoshino went out for a while after finishing the painting, and Yamamoto slipped into the studio to put away the stockings.Unexpectedly, Yoshino came back suddenly, and Yamamoto beat Yoshino to death with a chair in a hurry.Yamamoto, who fled in a hurry, left his ink pen at the scene again.Not long after, the police quickly solved the case and arrested Yamamoto.How did the police solve the case?

[Answer] The ingenuity of this case is that the objects left behind by the murderer Yamamoto were placed on the scene twice.The first time was murderous stockings, and the second time was a close-fitting ink pen.

How did the police solve the case?It is mainly observed from the last two works of Yoshino. The first one is the unfinished portrait of Minako. Where she went and whether she is the murderer are the key to the problem.

The second one is a portrait of the messy scene that Yoshino spent 7 hours drawing. The conspicuous stockings were painted in it. However, the police could not find the stockings afterwards, but they found the ink pen.

However, this pen has never appeared in the painting. As a result, if there is one or nothing, the police can deduce the whole story. Minako's boyfriend Yamamoto, the owner of the ink pen, has also become the key to solving the case.
