There were no useful clues found from the surveillance, so Officer Megure and his team returned to the living room and questioned the remaining servants.

Lu Ming stood aside with his hands in his trouser pockets. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and a smile of"I see" appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that Teacher Lu Ming knows who the murderer is?" Yukiko walked over, stood beside Lu Ming, and asked with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded:"I almost know it. If I am not mistaken, the murderer should be him. No wonder he said so before. So that's the case. Now all the problems are explained." Lu

Ming's words were full of question marks to Yukiko. She pulled Lu Ming's sleeve and looked at Lu Ming expectantly:"Teacher Lu Ming, can you tell me who the murderer is?"

Lu Ming smiled slightly and whispered a person's name in Yukiko's ear.

"What? He is the murderer?"Yukiko said in shock.

""Huh?"

Yukiko's shout attracted the attention of Inspector Megure and others. He looked over here and asked Yukiko,"Ms. Yukiko, do you know who the murderer is?"

"No, it's not me, it's Teacher Lu Ming who already knows who the murderer is."Yukiko pointed at Lu Ming and said

"Oh?"

Officer Megure was delighted, and walked towards Lu Ming and asked,"Teacher Lu Ming, do you know the truth of the matter?"

Lu Ming nodded and said with a smile,"In fact, from the beginning, I had a feeling that we seemed to have fallen into a trap set by the murderer."

"Yes, you did say that before. Now, have you found the trap?" Fei Yingli asked him

"Yes, I not only found the trap, but also knew who set it." Lu Ming said:"In fact, when I watched the surveillance video before, I was very surprised. When Mr. Qian Xiong stood up, his bookmark was clipped on the page of the book he had finished reading. Think about it, would a person facing a threat have such a calm action?"

"Yes, this is indeed very strange."Hiki Eri agreed,"But how do you explain why Shigeo raised his hand? You also saw him raise his hand yourself."

"That's right, Mr. Ganxiong did raise his hand."Lu Ming looked at Fei Yingli and said,"But what does that mean, Lawyer Fei, after you finish handling the matter, you should also stand up and relax your body, right?"

"That's right"

"What would you do at that time?"

"Just turned his head and stretched out his hand...Huh? Could it be that?" At this point, Fei Yingli was stunned.

Lu Ming knew what she was thinking about, and said with a smile:"Yes, it was just an ordinary action of Mr. Gan Xiong after he was tired of reading."

"But, my husband, he did fall down." Fujieda Suhua said, according to what Lu Ming said, if Fujieda Kan'o just stretched, then how could he fall to the ground?

"I remember there is a drug called isopropyl alcohol."Lu Ming continued,"Using this drug, a person can be temporarily unconscious. In other words, Mr. Ganxiong was not shot at that time. The only one who could do this was Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, the butler. The murderer is you."

Everyone focused their attention on the butler.

"Only Mr. Ueki would know that Mr. Kan's habit of drinking coffee while reading, and that he would stand up and stretch after reading."Lu Ming continued to reason,"In order to make your plan go more smoothly, you said, 'The master's hand is raised', which made us subconsciously think that Mr. Kan was threatened by someone."

"You used this method to create your own alibi, then pretended to go back to your room, got the key to the audio-visual room, and then returned to the room from outside, and shot three bullets at Mr. Qianxiong, who had lost consciousness, killing him."

"But didn't you only hear the sound of two bullets at that time?" Officer Megure asked curiously:"If Mr. Kan'o was not shot by the murderer and fell to the ground at the beginning, then there should be only two bullet holes on his body."

"Ah, Officer Megure, don't you understand?" Hibiki Eri said:"The murderer fired the first shot, but because the gun was equipped with a silencer, and there was classical music playing in the room, we didn't hear the gunshot."

"So that's how it is." Inspector Megure clapped his hands. Only now did he fully understand the whole case:"So, the silencer should still be in this house, Takagi, bring it here and look for it."

"yes"
