I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

"Excuse me, I'm the police chief of the Criminal Investigation Section [-], Criminal Investigation Section [-]..."

The straightforward self-introduction came to an abrupt end when his eyes touched the two beautiful women.

At the door of the audio-visual room on the first floor of the mansion, when the Megure Police Department, who happened to pass through the corridor and turned into the room, saw Yukiko and Fei Eri standing next to the corpse, the conventional rhetoric in his mouth froze for a moment.

"...Lawyer concubine? Yukiko-san? Why are you here?"

Then he saw Xiaolan and Serabel wearing disposable gloves.

"Are Xiaolan and Sera brothers also here?"

"Well~ it's a long story."

"If you have to say it, it's just a request."

The two beauties, who had the same situation but different embarrassments, invariably avoided the topic.

The Mumu Police Department is naturally not a gossip king, and it most likely won't matter anyway. Since others don't want to talk about it, he won't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Fujieda Shigeru and Fujieda Suka came up together, explaining in a hurry about the threat letter and the fact that they entrusted Mouri Kogoro and Kudo Yusaku to investigate, but because both of them were temporarily busy and couldn't get away, they let them go. agent to resolve matters.

"So it turns out that I received death threats..."

The Mumu Police Department nodded thoughtfully, coughed slightly and followed the procedure and followed the procedure.

"In that case, let's save the tedious steps and let everyone tell us what they were doing at the time of the incident."

"Our word is in the control room on the second floor."

Xiaolan was the first to raise her hand to speak, pointing her fingertips at the people in the room one by one.

"There's me, Sera-kun, mom, Aunt Yukiko, Mr. Ueki, the housekeeper, and Miss Soka."

"So many people?"

The police department was stunned for a moment.

Shigeru Fujieda then raised his hand: "Well, I was in the room working on a manuscript. I can be considered a mystery novelist, because the deadline is coming soon, so..."

"Are you the only one in the room?" Police Officer Megu's tone suddenly became serious.

"Police department, I think Mr. Fan should be innocent." Xiaolan quickly explained, "Because when we saw Mr. Qianxiong fell to the ground and came out of the monitoring room on the surveillance screen, Mr. Fan was just passing by the door of Mr. Fan's room. I just came out of my room, so that little time should not be enough to run from the first floor to the second floor."

"Is that so..."

One second, I felt that I had grasped some key information, but the next second, I was told that it was not the case. The Mumu Police Department couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

But just when he was about to continue questioning the next person's testimony, Serabel beside him finally couldn't stand it any longer. He strode forward and picked up the unfinished coffee cup on the coffee table next to the sofa with a hand wearing disposable gloves. .

"No need to go to so much trouble, just send this cup of coffee for testing. I think the decisive evidence should be in it."?

Chapter 76 The murderer is you! (No.12 update)

Decisive evidence.

This is something that needs to be used only when the reasoning has been completed, the prisoner is basically confirmed, and only the final blow is needed to render the prisoner speechless and unable to refute.

Megu, who has been in the police force for so many years, naturally understands this truth. When Serabel said this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and for a time he couldn't even speak coherently.

"M-Could it be that, Brother Sera, you already know who the prisoner is?"

"Pretty much, so to speak."

Serabel looked around at the people in the audio-visual room.

"Call the rest of the people in the mansion, and then we can officially start."

This is obviously a long-planned murder. If you want to solve the case, you must decipher the criminal's modus operandi.

Now that Serabel had figured out the method of committing the crime, Takagi ran out decisively and proactively without even saying anything from the police department.

After a while, the remaining people in the mansion were also called to the audio-visual room. There were two maids, as well as the silent Hana whom Yukiko and others met in the flower garden in the front yard when they first arrived at Fujieda House. The craftsman cultivates the fertile soil and builds.

The Mumu Police Department coughed in a decent manner: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The audio-visual room originally only had the single sofa where Mikio Fujieda was sitting, but considering that it would take a long time for everyone to gather together later, Takagi specially brought two more chairs back when he went out to call for people. By the way, I also asked the maids to bring in two multi-seater sofas.

In terms of the number of seats alone, it is enough for one person.

Yukiko, Eri Xiaoran and others quickly took their seats, Fujieda Shigeru and Fujieda Soka also sat down on another multi-person sofa, and even the silent Toi Kozo also sat down on a single dining chair.

But when it was Butler Ueki's turn, he waved his hand and said, "I don't need to. It's more comfortable for me to stand like this and listen."

After glancing at the two maids behind him who were also standing but not sitting down, the Mumu Police Department didn't say anything, just assuming that they were used to this.

Then he turned to Serabel.

"Brother Sera, you can start now."

"Not urgent."

Ignoring the expectant gaze of her brother, the fruit user, Serabel turned her attention to the two maids who had just arrived.

"Two ladies, let me ask you what you were doing at the time of the incident. The exact time was around 45:[-] in the afternoon."

"45:[-]..."

"doing what……"

The two maids looked at each other, and one of them spoke.

"Of course we were busy preparing ingredients for dinner, and we were there just now. To be honest, we didn't even hear the gunshots you mentioned in the kitchen, and then we were called here by the policeman."

"Hey, brother Sera, aren't you starting to ask about alibi again..." Megure Police Department was puzzled.

Serabel didn't care about this, and just gestured towards Takagi: "Officer Takagi, please go and confirm the processing conditions of the ingredients in the kitchen."

"learn!"

Takagi ran out happily.

After a while, he ran back happily and took photos with his mobile phone.

"Indeed, as the two maids said, they should have been preparing ingredients for dinner at that time."

"Well, that's fine."

Serabel spread her hands.

"To summarize a little bit - the two maids were preparing ingredients for dinner at the time of the incident, and the remaining people, except for the housekeeper Ueki and the gardener, all rushed here as soon as they heard the gunshots. At the door of the audio-visual room, gunshots were heard through the door panel. By the way, it was discovered that the gardener was trimming flowers and plants in the yard, while the housekeeper Ueki went back to his room to get the key to the audio-visual room. Please, who is the prisoner? "

"Is he a gardener?" Police Department Mumu blurted out without thinking.

"...I already told him that he was pruning flowers and grass." Serabel held her forehead.

"Oh oh."

Police Department Megure nodded awkwardly, and was about to subconsciously move his gaze to Butler Ueki, but stopped and hissed, turning to look at the broken window.

"That's not right. Logically speaking, if the bullet came from outside the window, then the person in the yard should be the most suspicious, right? And brother Serra, how do you know that he must be seriously pruning the flowers and plants at that time?"

"There is surveillance video. He was really pruning flowers and plants carefully at that time..."

"Oh, so that's it."

A simple and crude but irrefutable reason.

Xiaolan asked: "It seems that Mr. Dofei was pruning flowers and plants in the garden when we arrived. It has been almost two hours, right?"

"I think that's because tomorrow is the late eldest lady's birthday."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other of the two maids, who looked slightly older, clasped her hands on her chest and said sadly.

"Mr. Doi confirmed this repeatedly just to avoid any accidents."

"I see……"

Xiaolan has a strong ability to empathize, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard this.

But then she realized another serious problem.

"But if the prisoner is not Mr. Doi, then there is only..."

The answer was about to blurt out, but Serabel changed the subject.

"Actually, there is another small detail that I know you have probably overlooked. That is, when we saw Mr. Mikio fall to the ground through the screen in the control room, there were no bullet holes in Mr. Mikio's body at that time, but the other person fell to the ground. There is no movement on the ground, which can also be verified through surveillance video... Memu Police Department, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"That is to say..."

The police immediately understood and quickly turned to the half cup of coffee on the coffee table.

Serabel continued: "Well~ I think there shouldn't be any poison in it that can directly kill people in a short time. In that case, it will definitely be discovered during the autopsy. At best, it is the kind of poison that can make people suddenly faint and lose their ability to move. Powerful drugs."

"For example - isopropyl alcohol." Fei Yingli continued, "This is a drug prescribed to patients who are prone to loss of consciousness. This drug is used to induce their loss of consciousness so as to identify the cause of the disease. If used appropriately, this drug It can also be used to treat asthma, isn’t that right, Housekeeper Ueki who suffers from asthma?”

"Oh~"

In this way, the logic of cause and effect was clarified, and the Mumu Police Department sighed with a look of enlightenment.

But soon he realized that something seemed to be missing.

"Uh...wait a minute, but even this doesn't prove that the person must have been killed by Butler Ueki, right?"

"Of course there is a way to prove it. After all, an asthmatic person has to run out of the house in such a short period of time, from the south side to the northwest side of the audio-visual room window, shoot a gun and then run back. This time must be very tense. It should be There is no extra time to deal with the tools of crime."

Serabel looked like she had expected him to ask this question, Nunu said.

"Speaking of which, I noticed just now, Butler Ueki, that your right ankle seems to be very bulging?"

"Right ankle?"

Officer Takagi stepped forward alertly, said sorry, and then lifted Butler Ueki's right trouser leg up slightly.

At the latter's right ankle, a pistol was quietly inserted into his trouser leg with the barrel facing down.

The skin next to the barrel of the gun has already been burned to black smoke due to the high temperature after continuous firing. ?

Chapter 77 Severely punish the gold digger!

"This, this is..."

At this point, there was no need for redundant words. Takagi carefully took out the pistol inserted in Butler Ueki's stocking, and couldn't help but gasp when his eyes touched the burned part of the latter's ankle skin.

"What a serious burn! Are you just going to endure it like this?"

This is completely unimaginable to ordinary people, just like people will subconsciously let go and spit out when they are served with a very hot bowl or eat very hot food. This is an instinctive protection mechanism of the human body. .

It is simply impossible in reality to be stabbed through the chest by a sword like in the movie and still say the last line with a gentle expression and a smile on the corner of the mouth before passing away peacefully.

But this seemingly elegant old man endured the pain forcibly, even until the half hour they arrived just now, he kept his face as usual, letting the hot barrel of the gun stick to his skin until it cooled down slowly.

What a powerful willpower this is.

"It's ok."

What responded to him was the calm voice of an old man.

Butler Ueki just stood there motionless. No matter whether his trousers were lifted up or the gun was taken away, he was completely unmoved. He was like a piece of dead wood, but his words were loud and clear.

"If we can keep the courtyard that the eldest lady loved during her lifetime, my minor injury will be nothing at all."

"patio?"

The Memu Police Department was slightly stunned.

He has a work-first character. Even though it was still broad daylight outside, he didn't pay much attention to the scenery along the way when he came in from the gate. Now that he recalled carefully, this family did have a quite beautiful courtyard.

"I grew up watching the eldest lady and the young master. The eldest lady has loved flowers and plants since she was a child. She has a gentle and kind personality, and is also very considerate of us servants. Although it is a bit presumptuous to say this, to me, the eldest lady is like me. Like my daughter."

Butler Ueki slowly revealed his confession.

"Even after the eldest lady passed away, whenever I walked to the courtyard, I still felt as if she was still sitting on the swing, admiring the flowers and plants around her. Therefore, I will never allow the eldest lady's favorite courtyard to be Being trampled on by others, in order to protect these, I will do whatever it takes."

There are thousands of reasons for committing crimes, but the end result is the same.

Mumu, a veteran detective in the police department for more than [-] years, had already heard these remarks and his ears were calloused, but he did not show any impatience, he just went about his business.

"That means Mr. Ueki, you admitted your crimes of issuing threatening letters and killing people, right?"

"Yes."

Without making any excuses for his crime, the old man nodded and took the initiative to stretch out his hands and let Takagi on the side handcuff him.
