Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"Mr. Fujishima, can we go to that...shopping street inside and take a look?"

Shiraizumi pointed to the dark corridor that extended from the center of the hotel and said.

"Huh? Are we going there? The lights there haven't been installed yet. It's pitch black, and the design is like a maze. It's the most likely place the murderer is hiding."

Fujishima answered timidly.

"I don't think the murderer is in there."

Bai Quanyi blurted out confidently.

This was the "most terrifying conclusion" he had just reached that led him to come up with this answer.

After hearing his words, Fujishima and Suho looked at each other.

"but……"

Fujishima was about to retort, but Hakuba stopped him immediately, "Don't worry. Please trust Shiraizumi Masaru, okay? If anything happens, I'm here for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the dark, narrow corridor, and Bai Quanyi followed behind Bai Ma Shen.

The corridor, which was originally getting narrower and narrower, suddenly became very wide near the entrance.

There are no other branching paths along this section of the road, so there is no need to worry about someone suddenly appearing next to you.

Shiraizumi Masu wanted to confirm to Fujishima and Suho, who were still a little hesitant, that what he said was correct, so he jogged over to catch up with Hakuba Tan.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the white horse slipped and fell to the ground.

“It hurts, it hurts so much…”

He supported himself on the ground with his hands and tried to stand up.

"Damn it! Why is it so slippery? The ground is still wet."

Bai Ma sniffed the liquid on his hands.

"Wow—it stinks! Isn't this urine?"

Bai Ma Tan, the narcissistic handsome guy, was disgusted and kept wiping his hands on the wall.

"Who on earth is peeing here?"

Bai Quanyi curled his lips: "Lan Zegang must have been killed here!"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I examined Lan Zegang's body. He was incontinent when he was killed."

Bai Quanyi can now be sure that King Dongming is among them.

Bai Quanyi was also glad that he did not act rashly, preventing the King of Dongming from becoming desperate and detonating the bomb in the building.

256. King Dongming's True Form Revealed

The four of them searched the shopping street carefully and found that Aizawa Yu had been killed and was hiding under the model of the ruins of the shopping street.

Aizawa Yu's death was very ugly. He was killed and then stuffed under the model.

"Sure enough, Aizawa Yu was killed." Baiquan Yi sighed softly.

"Who on earth is it!" Bai Ma Tan was very surprised. He couldn't understand why Lan Zeyou died here.

"Could it be that there are really terrorists hiding on the eighth floor?" Fujishima said fearfully.

"This shouldn't be possible... How could there be terrorists on the eighth floor?" Zhou Fang's face was filled with horror.

Bai Quanyi said calmly, "There's another possibility. One of the hostages is a terrorist. Moreover, he's the terrorist leader, 'King Dongming'!"

"What!" The other three were shocked.

After the four of them returned, the people who gathered in the hall to rest asked if they had found Lan Zeyou's whereabouts.

When they heard that Aizawa Yu was killed under the ruins model of the shopping street on the eighth floor, everyone was not too surprised. Instead, they looked like they had expected it.

Being alone means certain death, which is almost an iron rule in detective novels.

However, everyone was confused. There were no terrorists on the eighth floor, so why were Tsuyoshi Aizawa and Yu Aizawa killed?

Bai Quanyi said: "All the terrorists have appeared, only King Dongming has not appeared, and King Dongming is among us. He is the murderer who killed Lan Zegang and Lan Zeyou!"

When everyone heard this, they started talking about "840" and began to be suspicious of each other.

Bai Quanyi continued, "Don't panic, everyone. I already know who the King of Dongming is. The King of Dongming is Mitsui Fumiya!"

Baiquan Yi pointed at Mitsui Wenye and shouted.

Mitsui Fumiya naturally wouldn't admit it, and said in panic, "You must be joking. I'm not a terrorist, much less the 'King of Dongming'!"

Xiao Qian also said angrily: "Baiquan Yi, everyone could be the murderer, except Mitsui Fumi."

Bai Quanyi said, "Xiao Qian, why are you so sure?"

Xiao Qian said firmly: "Mitsui is not that kind of person! I know him."

Xiao Qian turned her gaze to Mitsui.

"Fumiya, what do you say? They must have made a mistake, right?"

"Of course."

Mitsui responded with a rare smile.

Reiko asked anxiously, "Shiraizumi Masaru, is Mitsui Fumiya really the murderer?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Yes. Among the three fiancés, Xiao Qian, the one you chose is Mitsui Fumiya. However, unfortunately, both of the Lan Ze brothers were killed by him, and Mrs. Lan Ze's death is also related to him!"

Bai Ma Tan asked puzzledly: "But what is the basis?"

As a detective, he didn't find the murderer, which made him feel ashamed.

Since the trap set by Mitsui had to be solved in the dark, Shiraizumi only turned on one light in the "Arrow Hall" to let everyone in.

The purpose is to let them see with their own eyes the evil deeds of the devil Mitsui being exposed, so as to heal the trauma they have suffered from being deceived and exploited.

The slightly brighter room still bore traces of the tragedy. The heart on the table and the body of Tsuyoshi Aizawa were covered with a cloth. However, the stench in the air made it clear that the victim's body was in this room.

"Bai Quanyi, why did you bring us here?"

Mitsui walked to the center of the banquet hall and shouted.

Although his attitude was arrogant, it was clear from his expression that he had lost his patience. Although there was still a hint of a smile on his face, his complexion had become much paler.

"Mr. Mitsui, you should know what I want to do!"

Bai Quanyi asked him back, trying to gauge his reaction.

Mitsui did not respond and looked back at Shiraizumi in silence again.

Having been forced to this point, he could still continue to play dumb. Bai Quanyi felt more and more that this man was not easy to deal with.

"In that case, just stand there and listen to my reasoning."

Bai Quanyi glanced at everyone present, coughed lightly, and said, "Before I can solve Mr. Mitsui's alibi, I must explain some details in detail. This may take quite a while, so please be patient and listen to me.

The old man, Xiuyilang, believed Shiraizumi Masayuki more. He coughed and said, "Mitsui Fumiya killed my two adopted sons and my wife. Was that the decision from the beginning?"

"Yes, Chairman Shuichiro, the main reason why Mr. Mitsui planned this incident is to get rid of the three people who are hindering him, namely Aizawa Yurie, Aizawa Tsuyoshi, and Aizawa Yu."

"It turned out to be like this..."

Xiuichiro showed an expression of disbelief, his originally cyan face suddenly turned red, his voice became stronger, and his back straightened unconsciously.

Seeing him suddenly filled with anger, Shiraizumi Masu felt relieved and continued, "Ms. Mitsui must have been dating Akane a long time ago. He concealed this because Akane holds the key to the battle for Chairman Shuichiro's succession.

Akane told me that Mrs. Yurie, Tsuyoshi Aizawa, and General Manager Aizawa Yu are all scheming for control of the company, secretly recruiting trusted aides. Rather than letting them start, it would be better to eliminate those three obstacles first. That way, I can easily become Akane's husband and ultimately claim everything as the chairman's son-in-law. Mr. Mitsui, is this the ultimate goal of your plan?

Shiraizumi Yoshi asked him, but Mitsui didn't answer a word.

Xiao Qian kept staring at Mitsui with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Baiquan Yi couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Even if he would be hated by Xiao Qian in the future, he would still cruelly expose Mitsui Fumiya's conspiracy in front of Xiao Qian. Baiquan Yi believed that he was definitely helping her by doing this.

"However, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, it is not enough to just kill the three of them. The most important thing is to truly win Akane's love and gain the absolute trust of Chairman Shuichiro of the Aizawa International Marine Development Group, who insists on using his own vision to help Akane choose a husband. Only then will there be a chance to sit on the throne of the Aizawa family's son-in-law."

Baiquanyi narrated in an orderly manner.

"Ha! That's hilarious! What love and trust? How could I possibly use someone else's feelings as leverage?"

Mitsui snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Bai Quanyi immediately refuted it.

"Of course you could! That's why you orchestrated this kidnapping and even mingled with the hostages, pretending to be a victim."

"How, how could..."

Xiao Qian covered her face and cried sadly.

Mitsui Fumiya: "Akane, you can't trust him! I'm innocent!"

Mitsui uses the strategy of playing the victim to try to gain Xiaoqian's trust.

After hearing what Baiquanyi said, Zhou Fang believed Baiquanyi very much: "Mitsui Fumiya, you are such a despicable villain!"

Zhou Fang pointed at Mitsui angrily, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.

"Shou Fang, stop slandering me!"

"hateful!"

Mitsui's sarcasm infuriated Suoh so much that he clenched his fists and was about to charge forward—

"do not want!"

Xiao Qian screamed, which made Zhou Fang stop immediately.

"Stop arguing! I don't know who to trust now..."

Mitsui wanted to get closer to Xiaoqian, but Baiquan Yi immediately stepped between them to stop him.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Mitsui, I haven't finished what I'm saying."

Bai Quanyi didn't want to let him go so easily.

Mitsui, not sure if he was acting or genuinely angry, grabbed Shiraizumi Masayuki by the collar and roared, "I've heard enough of your nonsense. I get it, you must be making wild guesses, right? There's no such thing as an alibi trap! And what about my other four companions?"

"Alright! It's time to explain this flaw to everyone... Mitsui Fumiya, now I'm going to break your last line of defense."

Baiquanyi pushed Mitsui's hand away with force and pointed at him fiercely.

"Let's start with the conclusion."

Shiraizumi Masu turned his gaze away from Mitsui and looked at the others. "You're just using them. Your four companions are all Okinawans, or Ryukyu people. You recruited them under the guise of a national restoration movement. The funny thing is, you, the so-called 'King of Dongming,' are actually a Yamato who annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom!"

"Bai Quanyi, what's going on?"

After hearing Bai Quanyi's words, everyone was surprised and asked questions one after another.

Taking advantage of everyone's confusion, Mitsui took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

"Your words are getting more and more outrageous!"

"Whether what I said is true or not, we will know it after the police catch the other four terrorists and interrogate them. What I want to tell you now is how you killed Ai Ze Gang and Ai Ze You!"

"Okay, I want to hear how you prove that I'm a murderer!"

Baiquanyi said:

"You cleverly used the body and heart of the already-killed Aizawa Tsuyoshi to create an alibi, then took advantage of Aizawa Yu going to the restroom to leave the small banquet hall. Needless to say, you would seize this opportunity to ask to accompany him, then take the opportunity to kill Aizawa Yu and hide his body under the model of the ruins in the shopping street.

Up to this point, all the steps have been carried out smoothly according to the plan, but you killed two people with your own hands on the eighth floor, which is like a secret room. In order to avoid suspicion, you came up with a plan to divert other people's attention.

While you were watching Fujishima and Suho's movements as they searched for me, you prepared your elaborate psychological trap. First, you dug out Tsuyoshi Aizawa's heart and hid the body in an inconspicuous area of ​​this room in order to pin the blame for his death on the terrorists. Then, you instigated everyone to search for Aizawa Yu, whom you had killed, creating the illusion that you were our comrade, not the murderer!

"Wait a minute! Baiquan Yi."

Mitsui suddenly interrupted.

"Digging out the heart isn't as easy as you say. Where can I find such a sharp knife?"

"In the kitchen on the seventh floor, of course!"

"Ridiculous! I was unconscious when you used the food elevator to transport me to the eighth floor. How could I have brought the knife out?"
