Chapter 124 Behind the Curtain

() Through Ogata's inference, Xiaolan and others who were still constructing the image of the bandage geek in their minds finally understood...the so-called bandage geek was just an illusion that tried to deceive everyone from the beginning, and the real one The murderer was someone else.This person is actually Takahashi Ryoichi, who is hard to think of in terms of appearance or personality.

"After the body was dismembered, the murderer took away the head of the deceased, and before Miss Ayako woke up, he quietly set up the illusion that Chikako Ikeda was still alive. Here I want to mention two details. How did the murderer sneak into Miss Ayako's room? I remember when Takahashi Ryoichi helped them to close each window, so the way to sneak in was very simple. As a prop master, he tampered with the locks of the windows, before everyone thought the windows were tightly closed. Infiltrate under the circumstances."

Ogata felt that his throat was a little dry, and coughed lightly: "The other point is, after sneaking into the room, how to achieve the false appearance without anyone noticing? It's because the deceased Zhijiazi Ikeda put the water in Miss Ayako's drinking water. A light dose of sleeping pills is what the murderer induced her to do, and the excuse is that you don’t want to disturb people who have nothing to do with this matter, when you leave the room, it’s best not to let your roommate Ayako find out.”

"But is there any basis for such a statement?" Ota Katsuki asked curiously.

Ogata looked at Suzuki Ayako in astonishment, and asked, "Miss Ayako, did you feel a little thirsty in your throat when you woke up in the morning?" The experience of the previous life, coupled with the knowledge of this life, made him understand the structure and needs of the human body. It can't be said that he knows everything well, but it is far beyond the average doctor.

In the morning, he noticed that Suzuki Ayako made a movement, gently moving her jaw with her own hand.

It seems normal to others, but even the person concerned will not feel anything... But Ogata believes that during the hour of waking up early, many movements reflect the quality of sleep at night.

"Hmm." Suzuki Ayako thought about it, then nodded in confirmation.

Ogata explained: "We usually understand that sleep is rest, but in psychology subjects, sleep is divided into two types. Thinking-oriented sleep and unconscious sleep. Usually the former is a normal way of rest generated by the guidance of the inner potential consciousness , which is what we call dreaming. Sometimes you feel that you are not dreaming, but in fact you are dreaming, but you just forget it. And another way of sleeping will never happen to a normal person.”

"Involuntary sleep generally occurs in many ways. The most common ones are coma and taking sleep-promoting drugs, because people usually use mouth breathing when they lose subjective consciousness. If they feel thirsty, then It is proved that the loss of dominant consciousness for more than 2 hours is the consequence of unconscious breathing. So you will feel that your jaw is stiff when you wake up in the morning. It's been tense for a long time, and it's very uncomfortable."

Through Ogata's words, Suzuki Ayako really felt that these things happened to her.

Ota Masaru and Kakutani Hiroki looked at each other, and saw the shock on each other's faces.No matter how powerful a forensic doctor is, he is still a forensic doctor. This was the original idea.But now, they will definitely not underestimate Ogata, or even forensic medicine, a profession that has not been exposed for many years.

"Back to the case itself." Ogata continued.

"After arranging these things, the murderer returned to his room. Then after a while, that is, after Miss Ayako got up at 05:30, when everyone was busy washing, the murderer sneaked into their room again, This time, I took away the head used to set up the illusion, and paved the way for the next technique."

From the very beginning, Ogata tried his best to use the word 'murderer' to replace Ryoichi Takahashi's name in his own inferences, because the very beginning part has not been recognized by everyone, and he has not come up with substantive evidence. evidence.

But right now, his deduction reveals the pointedness that seems to be sharp.

"When we were having breakfast, we all confirmed the fact that Ms. Ayako was missing. Then we went to the woods outside the villa to look for Chikako Ikeda, and her head was found by Mr. Ota inadvertently."

Ogata stared at Ryoichi Takahashi, and his voice became sharper: "Recall carefully, what happened during this process?"

Hearing this, everyone fell into memory, trying to remember something.

"Is this fragrance supposed to be used to repel mosquitoes?" Ogata asked.

Everyone knew who Ogata was asking. Although it had been a morning, the smell of spices on Takahashi Ryoichi's body never dissipated.

Without waiting for Ryoichi Takahashi to find a reason to justify, Ogata continued to infer: "We all know that during the process of decay, a corpse will produce an unpleasant smell. The smell of spices on Ryoichi Takahashi is just to cover up the same thing."

Takahashi's eyes under Ryoichi's glasses stared at Ogata firmly, clenched his fists tightly, his nails wished they could sink into his flesh.

"I asked him before, are you fat or not? This is not a joke, but the core of the whole case. Because Takahashi Ryoichi has been hiding the dead man's head in the clothes on his upper body during the process of looking for Chikako Ikeda with everyone. among."

In an instant, Ogata's words were like ringing a bell, and everyone looked at the angry Takahashi Ryoichi with shocked expressions.

Someone put the dead man's head in his clothes?this......

"In order to create this trick, Ryoichi Takahashi, whom you haven't seen for a long time, pretended to be a fat man. From the beginning, his clothes were stuffed with bandages and some cotton used to commit crimes, so that everyone can have an impression of his figure, which is convenient. Do three things."

"The first thing is that even if the body of the fireplace is found. With his size, he can't pass the distance between the chimney and the fireplace. The second thing is that he can wear the bandages used by the crime anytime and anywhere. The third thing The thing is, after all of us arrived at the woods in the suburbs, he found an opportunity to discard the head that was always on the front of the stomach, making everyone mistakenly think that the bandage monster did it outside."

Ryoichi Takahashi felt his heart beating faster, and the damned forensic doctor in his eyes wanted to tear him into pieces, just like he did to Chikako Ikeda, chop off his head, ruthlessly!

Ota Katsushita avoided Takahashi Ryoichi with some horror, while Xiaolan was protecting Ayako and Sonoko, and Kakutani Hiroki subconsciously turned the camera lens to the man who had become strange and fierce in his eyes.

Ogata stood in the opposite position to Ryoichi Takahashi, and used the final evidence to strengthen the basis of the whole inference: "You deceive everyone with your body, and you use your own vicious killing methods to take people's lives..."

"But it can't hide the truth. If I'm not wrong, the bandage used to help me carry out the murder plan is still under your clothes. It is covered with ashes from the fireplace and the blood of the dead!"

In the woods, if it wasn't for Xiaolan and Sonoko who were frightened by the snake, perhaps under Ogata's watchful eyes, Takahashi Ryoichi would have no way to find a chance to throw the head he was carrying into the woods.

"Damn it!" Takahashi Ryoichi gritted his teeth and glared at everyone: "I did it, so what? This bastard, this scum, three years ago, snatched Atsuko's script, causing her to commit suicide. out of this world."

Hearing Takahashi Ryoichi's words, Ayako and Ota Katsuki were the ones who reacted the most.Because outsiders like Ogata didn't know about this experience... But the name Atsuko made Ogata frown slightly.

"Takahashi, you mean Chikako's work. The TV series currently on TV was originally designed by Atsuko?" Kakutani Hiroki opened his eyes wide. He finally remembered that Atsuko, who was not good at words in his impression, As mentioned to everyone, she is working on a script.

Today's Chikako Ikeda has become the screenwriter of the hit series, making these partners who gathered together for the movie dream envious, but behind this curtain, there are sacrifices and tears of one person.

Ogata felt that the condensed hostility was fluctuating, and he took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on while everyone was focusing on Ryoichi Takahashi.

Beside this man, in Dunzi's eyes, there is a hint of sadness and loneliness...

People have hearts, and ghosts also have hearts.But people have desires, but ghosts put aside their own desires, only for the feelings they hold in their hearts.

"Atsuko's work was borrowed by that woman, Chikako Ikeda, under the guise of contacting the TV drama crew, and then occupied by her, which made Atsuko shamelessly deprived of the painstaking efforts she had spent a long time in creating. On the day she committed suicide, there was a phone call my phone."

"She said, Takahashi...I'm really afraid of losing. Losing my dreams, my memories, my good friends, all of me..." <, college friends .Ayako Suzuki, Masaru Ota, and Hiroki Kadotani seem to have seen the girl who always smiles shyly and has dreams in her heart.

And Ogata really saw...

Atsuko looked at these friends with complicated eyes.

Time has changed, the world has changed, even life, even human character!

But in memory,

They are still a group of young people in their early 20s.

"Atsuko is dead, she is dead... What is she to you?"

Ryoichi Takahashi took off his glasses, his voice trembling.

Katsuo Ota felt touched by a certain feeling in his heart. He is now a consultant in car sales, and he is in contact with rich young ladies every day. This time he came to the party at the villa, he was completely aiming at Ayako as the eldest lady of the Suzuki consortium .

But at this moment, he realized...

I will be sad, feel regretful, and miss those times when I was talking about movies and dreaming! (To be continued.)
