Chapter 791 There is often a simple truth behind the supernatural (4000)

"Ex-senior?"

Seeing Karasawa laughing suddenly, Naoki Kamei couldn't help but get excited and quickly hid aside to put some distance between him and Karasawa.

The fear in his eyes was even beyond words.

It's no wonder. Just now, I was still thinking about whether Takahara Yuko was suddenly taken over there. The always reliable senior next to me suddenly appeared in the same situation as the other party.

How could this not scare Uye Naoki?

Fortunately, Tang Ze still had some self-control. After realizing that his behavior seemed to cause some misunderstandings on his back, he quickly controlled his emotions.

"Sorry, sorry, I suddenly saw such a funny thing and couldn't hold it back for a while." Tang Ze couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Something funny?"

After hearing that Karasawa seemed to be normal, Naoki Kamei approached Karasawa cautiously: "Where is it?"

"Well, that's it, isn't it?" Tang Ze pointed to the insecticide advertisement on the transparent glass of the convenience store: "Look carefully at the person playing the cockroach."

"kindness?"

At Karasawa's reminder, Naoki Kamei took a closer look at the advertisement posted on the wall.

After excluding the cat food ads and several other random ads, he focused on the head of the cockroach on the exterminator ad.

"puff"

When he saw the face of the character playing the cockroach in the advertisement, Naoki Uyei couldn't help laughing, "How dare she? How could she have the nerve to say it in this kind of advertisement?"

Before he finished speaking, Uye Naoki couldn't help laughing again, and it took a while before he recovered and stopped laughing.

"Before I saw the essence of the matter, I thought it was a curse." Naoki Uyei looked at the advertisement and sighed: "But I didn't expect the truth to be so simple."

It turned out that the advertising photo that the proprietress claimed to have taken was this insecticide advertisement, and she played the role of a cockroach in it, with her head attached to the insect's body.

I'm afraid Takahara Yuko has heard the proprietress mention this matter before.

And after I discovered what the other party called an "advertising photo" yesterday, because this scene was so contrastingly joyful, I couldn't help but laugh.

"So you are still far away from it. When can you truly treat things that you cannot understand temporarily and calmly, instead of thinking about supernatural things, will you be considered a master."

Karasawa patted Ue Naoki on the shoulder and immediately walked to the car on the side: "Let's go back to Hanaya's house."

"Eh? Why do you want to go back?" After hearing Karasawa's words, Naoki Kamei quickly ran and opened the door of the passenger seat and said, "Have you noticed anything before?"

"Ah, that's right." Tang Ze turned the key and started the car: "Now go over and verify it yourself."

Although Uye Naoki wanted to ask Karasawa what he had discovered, Karasawa, who was racing against time, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Hanaya family's mansion.

At this terrifying speed, Naoki Ueijing on the side quickly closed his mouth, for fear of biting his tongue when cornering.

Returning to Hanaya's house again, the two soon arrived at the villa where Yuko Takahara lived.

"Senior, what are you looking for?"

Looking at Karasawa who kept looking around after entering the house, Uye Naoki, who had recovered from his physical and psychological discomfort after racing, couldn't help but ask.

"Cat."

While searching for a corner in the house, Tangze explained: "Did you see the biscuits on the deceased's coffee table? That's cat food."

"Cat food?"

Uye Naoki quickly reacted to Karasawa's reminder: "Ah!! That's cat food!?"

It wasn't until Karasawa reminded him that he suddenly remembered that in addition to the insecticide advertisement, there was also an advertisement for cat food.

In the cat food advertisement, the tray contained biscuits with the same shape as those on Yuko Takahara's coffee table.

And this is why Tangze speculated that the other party had a cat.

As for why you are looking for a cat?
  This is the key to another mystery.

Of course, the premise is to find the cat and confirm this reasoning.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched the house, they still couldn't find any trace of the cat.

"It's not like he ran outside." After looking through the house, Naoki Kamei gasped slightly.

"It's not impossible. There are no traces of the cat food being tampered with."

Karasawa glanced at the tray, compared it with the image memory in his mind, and came to this conclusion: "Let's go outside and take a look first."

"boom!"

The two of them had just walked out of the door of the villa when suddenly a loud sound came from the side. This sudden movement made the two of them look towards the source of the sound.

"It came from the utility room next to it."

Tangze raised his eyebrows when he saw the small house in front of him and said, "Go over and take a look. The noise just now was probably caused by the cat knocking over something inside."

However, as soon as the two of them arrived at the door, a girl suddenly appeared on the transparent glass above the door. This scene made Uye Naoki scream in surprise.

"Don't panic, this is probably Miss Minako's daughter."

Karasawa glanced at Uye Naoki angrily: "You are too timid."

"Everyone will be frightened when this suddenly comes out." Naoki Uyei muttered in a low voice: "Senior, you are the one with a big heart. I doubt you are afraid of this kind of feeling at all..."

"Hello~"

Karasawa ignored Ue Naoki's complaints, but looked at the little girl aside and smiled gently: "Kid, why are you staying here alone?"

"Healing."

The little girl with the watermelon hair said in a sweet voice, then turned around and pointed behind her.

Tangze followed the direction the girl pointed and took the opportunity to look around the utility room.

Generally speaking, there are piles of messy things, such as brooms, kettles, toys, strollers, baby eating seats, feeding bottles, etc.

It seemed that a large part of it were items that the little girl in front of me had used.

On the ground over there, a young black cat was curled up motionless on the blanket.

"Wow... Even though I know this is raised by Ms. Yuko Takahara, I still can't help but make people feel scared."

When Naoki Kamei saw the black cat staring at him quietly, he couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.

Black cats are originally a symbol that is somewhat tabooed by people, not to mention the rumor in "The Curse of the Rose" that the first one to be killed was Rina's black cat. Such an amazing coincidence will inevitably frighten people.

But for someone like Tangze, who has already seen through the essence of everything and will not be shaken, this is just a coincidence caused by chance.

"Don't touch it!! Grandpa won't be able to bear it!!"

Looking at the girl and the black cat in the house, Karasawa was about to step forward and enter the cabin to check the situation, but unexpectedly, Minako Hanaya rushed directly into the utility room, hugged her daughter, and then walked outside.

"Sorry, who is this cat?"

Karasawa stopped Hanaya Minako and asked.

"I don't know, I wasn't here yesterday."

Minako Hanaya looked at the black cat who was holding it motionless with fear: "Why did you meet the black cat at this time? It's really unlucky..."

"I heard meowing inside, so I opened the door and came in."

The little girl said with a sweet voice: "I found that Cat's foot was injured, so I wanted to find something to bandage it, and then the big brothers came over."

"So, the cat was already in the house, and you didn't bring it out?"

Seeing the little girl nodding, Karasawa thanked him, then looked at Hanaya Minako and asked, "Excuse me, you just said "grandpa can't stand it", is it because Mr. Hanaya Kozaburo is allergic to cats?"

"Yes, that's true...how do you know?" Minako Hanaya said in surprise.

"After all, you reacted so strongly, this is the only possible outcome."

Naoki Kamei smiled and explained, then looked at Karasawa and said in admiration: "In this way, the true identity of the other "curse" is also solved."

"Ah, let's end this case."

Karasawa chuckled and looked at Hanaya Minako: "Can you please inform other people in the Hanaya family? It's time to understand this case."

"Has the case been solved!?" Hearing Tang Ze's words, he couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately said happily: "That's great, dad and the others will be very happy if they know it!"

In response, Karasawa glanced at Hanaya Minako and sighed slightly.

When the suspects are all related to the Hanaya family, this is bound to be a tragedy.

It's a pity that the other party was dazzled by joy at this moment, and only wanted to end the case quickly, without realizing what this meant.

When everyone gathered in the hall, everyone in the Hanaya family looked at Tang Ze with a look of urgency on his face. Obviously, they wanted to know the truth more and escape from the unknown terror brought about by the "curse".

"Have you solved the mystery of the case?" Hanaya Fumiyo looked at Karasawa and said, "So, this is really not a curse?"

"Ah, that's right. If you have any questions, you can ask them and I will answer them one by one." Tang Ze nodded.

"Then please tell me, since Miss Yuko arrived, I couldn't help but cough, have a headache, and experience various physical discomforts whenever I get close to that villa."

After hearing Karasawa's words, Kozaburo Hanaya couldn't help but take the lead in asking this question that had been bothering him for a long time.

After all, this curse seems to have manifested itself on him, so naturally he cannot let go of this problem.

"About this, I think Miss Minako already knows the answer."

Karasawa smiled and said, "We found Miss Yuko's secretly raised black cat in Miss Yuko's villa. I learned from Miss Minako that you are allergic to cats. I think this is the truth about the "curse" Bar."

"It's just like this?" Hanaya Kozaburo couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, but he could obviously be seen relieved.

"Actually, the so-called curses, as long as the reasons are clear, many of them are simple but beyond comprehension." Tangze looked around and asked, "Is there anything else I need to answer?"

"So, the prisoner moved Yuko to the rose garden just to create the "curse of the rose" in the Hanaya family. Do you want to get away with it?"

Hanaya Toshio was a little angry when he heard this: "Which bastard did it!!"

"Maybe there are reasons for this, but these are actually not the focus of the prisoner's actions."

Tangze looked at everyone and said the answer: "The key point is the thorn of the rose."

"The thorn of the rose?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone looked at each other, wondering why this was the key reason why the prisoner put the body in the rose garden.

"There is only one truth, and that is that prisoners need rose thorns to do their job."

Karasawa said this and looked around at the three men except Toshio: "The thorns of the roses left scratch marks on the back of the hands of the man who found the body."

"Is it that simple?" Toshio Hanaya was stunned and confused when he heard this: "But why? Does this have any meaning?"

"This is exactly the prisoner's intention." Tangze said with a smile.

"Is there any meaning behind this?" Uye Naoki couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, if my reasoning is correct, I'm afraid this is a clever disguise designed by the prisoner using the thorns of the rose."

Karasawa looked around at the three Hanaya men with injured hands with sharp eyes and said: "I'm afraid there is an invisible wound on the back of the prisoner's hand.

But what had happened was irreversible, so he came up with this plan and moved the body from the room to the rose garden.

The next day, the murderer only had to pretend to carry the body and let the thorns on the rose deliberately scratch the back of his hand, so that he could cover up the original wound on the back of his hand. "

As the saying goes, if you drop a drop of water into a glass of water, you will not be able to distinguish the original drop of water.

Although this strategy is not that exaggerated, it still uses more wounds to reasonably cover up the existing wounds on the back of the hand.

"What exactly is that "shady wound"!" Toshio Hanaya asked eagerly after hearing this.

"Of course it is a scar very similar to the wound scratched by the rose thorn." Tang Ze looked at the three of them with a half-smile: "And this is also a wound that proves that the person has been to the murder scene!"

"A wound that proves you have been to the murder scene!?"

As Karasawa finished speaking, everyone present involuntarily turned their attention to the three men of the Hanaya family who had injured their hands.

The three men couldn't stand the unbelievable and complicated looks from their family members, and looked at Tang Ze one after another.

"Mr. Criminal, please stop pretending and tell me directly!" Hanaya Kozaburo was the first to speak: "What kind of scar is that? Who is the prisoner!!"

"It's simple, it's a cat scratch."

Seeing Karasawa looking at him, Naoki Kamei quickly replied: "The cat hiding in the utility room injured its leg. I'm afraid it was caused by the prisoner driving the cat away after being scratched by the cat during the crime."

"Then where is the culprit! Who is it!!"

Hanaya Toshio's eyes were bloodshot, he grabbed Uye Naoki's shoulders and said excitedly: "Who killed Yuko!!"

Faced with the look of help from Naoki Kamei, Karasawa slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the three men.
