"Bullet marks...?"

The whispers next to him revealed the suspicions in Phoenix's heart and ignited the atmosphere around him.

"What -" Nobuyuki Sugou opened his eyes in disbelief: "Gun?! Do you mean someone came in with a gun and killed Christina?!"

"Well, I just..." Miyano Akemi was a little embarrassed: "I, I'm not sure, but from my experience, it's a bit like a bullet mark..."

"How do you know this is a bullet?" Miyanagi Chianami asked suspiciously: "You couldn't be the one who shot it, right?"

"I, I didn't!" Seeing that she had become a murderer just by saying a word, Miyano Akemi was obviously a little anxious: "Because I often used guns when I was alive and saw this kind of thing often, so of course I know it. !”

"It does look like a bullet mark." Ryūichi Naruhodou came to Miyano Akemi's rescue and said, "The characteristics are very obvious. Anyone who sees a lot of such things should be able to recognize it."

"Who knows if you two are colluding..." Miyanagi Chinami curled her lips and said nothing more.

"If it's a bullet, then Christina..." Nanami Chiaki frowned worriedly.

She didn't say anything further, but everyone knew what she meant.

It was obvious that the second person to take action had appeared.

Chapter 345

"Don't be so busy jumping to conclusions. Christina may not really be dead, she may just have gone to other places..." Phoenix Ryuichi tried hard to keep the atmosphere from being too harsh: "Now she is just missing. , and no body was seen so she might be fine."

"Do you believe this?" Miyanagi Chinami is always trying to dismantle Ryuichi Hotou: "The situation is obvious now. Whether you admit it or not, there is a high probability that Christina will be killed!"

Miyanagi Chianami put the cruel facts in front of everyone so nakedly, and the surrounding air fell into dead silence for a moment.

"Perhaps he was shot by a gun and then fell from the railing, so the body was not found." Kayaba Akihiko silently walked to the railing and stuck his head out to look down.

This villa is built on the edge of a cliff. If you climb over the balcony railing, you will fall directly into the abyss.And judging from the bottomless appearance, it is basically impossible for humans to survive if they fall.

"If you look closely at this railing, you can see that there may be some blood stains around it, and there are white textile residues of fibers on some of the burrs - it should be Christina's white coat, right?"

"I was forced all the way to the balcony, was shot while leaning on the railing, and then fell." Kayaba Akihiko calmly told his reasoning: "I think this is possible."

"There were obvious traces of a struggle in the room. If one party was holding a gun, then there should be no conditions for these struggles to take place." Ryūichi Naruhodou did not agree with Kayaba Akihiko's reasoning. The wear and tear on the table legs and the deformed The floor indicates that something must have happened in the room. If one party is holding a gun, a physical conflict will never happen in the face of such absolutely unequal power.

"Are the 'obvious signs of struggle' you said deformed on the floor and table corners?" Kayaba Akihiko was not moved by Phoenix Wright's question. He just shook his head calmly: "There are no blood stains or deformation marks there. It's not big. Compared with fighting, there are too many behaviors that can cause this kind of damage. For example, something heavier falls and hits the table legs and the floor. A lot of experimental equipment is not light. This This situation is very common.”

"In fact, you don't even need to move the equipment at all. It's just a pile of toolboxes in the corner. Any one of them falling can cause this situation."

Kayaba Akihiko walked to the corner and picked up a toolbox. He found a flat floor, raised the toolbox in the air and let go. The dropped toolbox instantly made a dent in the ground.

"That's it. The floors in this house are quite fragile, and many things can leave marks on them."

"Even so, there are still a lot of doubts." Wright walked to the balcony and reached the railing. Although his fear of heights made his legs tremble a little, at this moment he still used his perseverance to stay Here, he gritted his teeth and pointed to the open space in the distance.

"According to your statement, Christina was shot on the balcony, right?"

"I think this possibility exists." Kayaba Akihiko was noncommittal.

"I don't think this situation exists, because we didn't hear any movement." Wright took a deep breath and calmed his heart that was beating wildly because he was close to the cliff: "Indeed, the room here The sound insulation is very good, even if it is opened inside the room, it cannot be heard outside, but if the balcony door and window are not closed, this will be meaningless.”

"If Christina died on the balcony, then if the murderer shot from the balcony, we in the outside world would definitely be able to hear the loud gunshots; if the murderer shot from inside the room, we would still be able to hear it even if the balcony door is open. If you hear the sound and the balcony door is closed, the glass on the door will definitely be shattered by the bullet."

Wright pointed to the intact balcony door: "But as you can see, the balcony door is intact now, so your inference is not valid."

"That's not necessarily true. How do you know you didn't hear the gunshot?" Kayaba Akihiko shook his head: "You just didn't notice it."

"Because my ears didn't ask—"

Naruhodou Ryuichi suddenly fell silent. He knew what Kayaba Akihiko meant.

"We were having a fireworks display together. Among the close-range firecrackers and explosions, could you really tell the gunshots coming from the villa?"

"And your inference also proves in a sense that the crime must have occurred during this time - the gun marks on the pillars prove that a shooting must have occurred here, but the balcony door was not damaged, which means that the gunfire must have occurred It will get out and we will hear it.”

Kayaba Akihiko very calmly laid out the information in front of Phoenix Wright Ryuichi one by one: "Someone took advantage of us to have a fireworks display and shot and killed Christina under the cover of the sound of fireworks. This is me. idea.”

"But if we all get together at that time, how could anyone take the opportunity to kill Christina?" Nagito Komaeda looked sad, as if he had encountered some problem of the century: "If everyone is monitoring each other together like this If so, there will be no time to commit the crime."

"Not everyone is present, isn't it because someone is not here?" The eager and quick-spoken Miyanagi Chinami pointed this out directly without hesitation: "Then it can only be that guy, right?"

Anyway, everyone knows who the person Miyanagi Chinami is referring to. After all, there are only two people absent. Apart from the murdered Christina, there is only——

"It's been so noisy, what are you doing? I can hear you from upstairs."

When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, a stern voice came from the door. Everyone turned to look and saw a silver-haired man in a black trench coat walking in.

"A bunch of idiots have finished playing with fireworks, and now they're here again. Don't they think they've had enough fun with their boring friends?"

Gin looked at the group of people who were looking at him silently, and showed a disdainful sneer: "Or, who else was killed while you were playing house and drinking?"

Seeing the suspect who killed Christina appear in front of everyone so arrogantly, and even taunted him, he stood silently for a while, not knowing what to do.

First, I was at a loss for his behavior, and second, I was afraid of this crazy man, not knowing what kind of behavior he would do.

Until someone suddenly raised his hand and broke the silence with a loud voice.

"Margaret, I'm calling for an eviction vote on Gin!"

Chapter 345.5 Self-destruction motivation

"what?!"

Everyone's shocked eyes instantly focused on Miyano Akemi, who raised her hands loudly, and the most angry and puzzled among them was Gin himself, who had just arrived in the room: "Are you crazy, woman!?"

But Miyano Akemi didn't hesitate at all because of Gin's threat: "I launched an expulsion vote against him for killing Christina!"

"Wait a minute, Ms. Miyano, things haven't happened yet—" Wright Phoenix still wanted to dissuade him, but the program team reacted faster than him.

"I understand, I will accept your proposal."

Margaret, who was as elusive as before, quietly appeared in front of the door, looking at everyone with a calm business smile: "Then, please follow me to the conference room."

"...Hmph, idiot."

Gin's cold gaze swept around the people in the room, and when it stopped at Miyano Akemi, the irony in it became even stronger: "It's much stupider than I thought."

Then Gin stopped talking and left the room, then walked towards the conference room that Margaret pointed to.

"Hope and despair collide again, which side will win in the end - haha, of course it is hope~" With a hearty laugh, Nagito Komaeda followed Gin's footsteps.

The remaining people in the room looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

-

"This is the second voting rally. Although everyone has heard it once before, I still briefly reiterate the key points of the rally."

"During the voting at the assembly, everyone will vote on the nominees after discussion to decide whether the nominees should be expelled."

"If more than half of the total votes are cast that the person needs to be expelled, then the person nominated this time will be expelled - that is, executed."

"After the voting begins, everyone must choose between the same expulsion and disagreement with the expulsion, and cannot abstain from voting. And after the voting begins, all people participating in the voting will not be able to leave the conference room until the end of this vote."

"This vote is a vote opened by Miss Miyano Akemi against Mr. Gin. The reason for expulsion is that Mr. Gin is the murderer of Miss Christina. Please start a discussion on this proposal and vote after the discussion. "

"Same as last time, if you have evidence you want to present during the discussion, you can call me and I will project it on the big screen."

In the conference room on the first floor, Margaret calmly reiterated the basic rules of voting, then bowed to everyone and found a corner to sit there and read a book, leaving the space for everyone.

The room became extremely quiet for a moment, and many people were unable to react to the rapid unfolding of the situation.

Gin took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it, but found that the lighter could not light up. In the end, he could only click his tongue in displeasure and put the cigarette case away.

"Although I know you idiots can always come up with some tricks, but being so stupid is beyond my imagination."

He scanned the people in the room with cold eyes, and the chill contained in Gin's sneer made everyone who saw him send shivers down their backs: "Christina is dead?"

"...Not sure yet, but blood and bullet marks were found in her room, and there was no trace of her anywhere."

Phoenix Phoenix finally gave Gin a rough explanation of the current situation. Although Gin was indeed a certain suspect, to be honest, Phoenix Phoenix did not think he was the murderer of Christina.

Now Gin looks like a passerby who was suddenly involved as a murderer without knowing anything about the case. If he is really innocent, then it would be too much to be voted out without even knowing why he was accused. Darkened.

"Humph, she died so easily. I thought she was a smart woman, but now it seems she is still useless... So because he was killed, you suspect that I am the murderer?"

After learning about Christina's death, Gin seemed very calm, as if what he heard was not the murder but the boring news broadcast on the TV station every morning.

"But why should I kill her?"

"Indeed, as far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, I am indeed suspected of killing Christina. After all, she holds my password. Once she chooses to inform, I will be directly expelled from the game. But this matter is all Everyone knows it, so as soon as she dies, I will definitely become the person with the biggest suspicion."

"You idiots are obviously hostile to me. Once I kill Christina, you will definitely target me, and being voted out is almost an inevitable outcome. Even you can figure this out, and it is even less possible for me. I did it. After all, the guy chose to cooperate with me after thinking about this joint from the beginning, and Christina is also a smart woman and has never thought of using this password to do something stupid, so I also There was no reason to kill her."

"In this game, not only can I not kill Christina, but I have to protect her. This means that I have no motive for killing from the beginning, so your accusation is completely meaningless-" Gin was cold His eyes were locked on Miyano Akemi: "Idiot."

"It's because this truth is too simple, so you may play against us..." Nobuyuki Sugou frowned, and pushed his glasses with his uninjured hand: "So your motive Can't let go easily..."

"Hmph, let me tell you a more reasonable candidate for the murderer." Gin sneered: "Not long ago today, there was a person——"

"I once wanted to kill Christina."

? !!

Before Gin could say anything, Miyano Akemi, who had lowered her head and remained silent, suddenly revealed this shocking news. Suddenly, all the eyes around her were tightly locked on her, some of them were surprised and some were surprised. , there is fear and doubt.

Everyone stared at her, waiting for Miyano Akemi's next actions and words.

"I previously got a slot machine reward set up by the show crew in the game room. It was a photo album recording the cause of death of my only relative. In that photo album, Christina appeared in the scene where my sister died, but When I questioned her about this, she said she didn't know anything - how could she not know? She was sitting next to my sister in that photo!!"

"So I'm determined to win this fireworks show because I need to get that reward to see if it's related to the photo album I got before... Not only is Christina very suspicious, but her fireworks are also in my way road."

"So I made up my mind at that time. I would ask her again before the fireworks show started. If she still refused to answer, I would let her withdraw from the competition. If she even refused to withdraw from the competition..." Gong Noakimei clenched her fists, but her trembling voice was filled with unquestionable determination: "I will kill her."

Chapter 346: Fraud! Corpse!

"Wait a minute, aren't you self-destructing?!" Miyanagi Chianami exclaimed: "Because Christina refused to withdraw from the competition, so you just killed her?!"

Gin also narrowed his eyes subconsciously. Although Miyano Akemi was an idiot, he felt that the other party was not stupid enough to directly tell him that she was the murderer.

Play hard to get?What method did she use, and why was she so confident?

"I originally wanted to kill Christina, but I didn't succeed in the end." Miyano Akemi sighed: "Because Mr. Wright was with me from the beginning to the end, I had no chance to find Christina. There is no chance to take action."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention once again shifted to Phoenix Wright on the side, and he could only nod his head: "At least from the time I followed her, she had no chance to follow me again. leave in the world.”

"Oh, then it would be better if I just kill the person before you find out." Gin's laughter was full of disdain: "After killing someone, you then deliberately find witnesses to create an alibi for yourself. This kind of method Not very clever."

It's not that Gin is modest, but the number of incidents in Tokyo is actually different from ordinary people. He sees eight murder cases instead of ten, and he sees too many different committing methods. To him, Miyano Akemi's behavior It's all just meaningless farce, and there's really no need to think about it.

"It's difficult to come up with a result from a chaotic discussion. I think it's better for everyone to work together on what we did today, and at least determine when we last saw Christina." Nanami Chiaki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, at this time She had already put down her game console in her hand, and her face, which had always been smiling and calm, also had a rare look of seriousness.

"As far as I'm concerned, the last time we met was yesterday - when she was making apple pie." Phoenix Ryuichi tried hard to remember, "That was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday."

"I usually don't pay much attention to other people. Anyway, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time, at least not today." Miyanagi Chinami looked very sincere.

"Well, she seemed to have returned to the villa from the resource room this morning, maybe around eight or nine o'clock?" Nagito Komaeda stared at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yesterday at 12 o'clock at midnight, Margaret came over and told Kishibe and I that on the day of the fireworks display, in order to allow everyone to better experience the joyful atmosphere of the display, the reporter would be temporarily turned off." Kayaba Akihiko was very plain. He said: "So the two of us left the reporting machine on the first floor at 12 o'clock in the evening. We don't know the specific entry and exit of everyone today. The last time we saw Christina was around 7 o'clock in the evening. She came from the upstairs We went to have dinner and returned upstairs at 8 o'clock."

"Me too." Kishibe Rohan nodded noncommittally: "Margaret told us personally that we don't need to be guarded. She should be able to testify."

"Indeed, after all, it would be too pitiful if there were two people sitting alone in the corner while everyone else was playing." Margaret smiled and nodded.

With the sponsor's endorsement, others stopped pursuing the matter. After all, Margaret had no reason to lie.

"I met her at about 8 o'clock this morning..." Nobuyuki Sugou said thoughtfully: "She seemed to want to deal with the fireworks again, so she entered the studio, and then I also entered my studio. I don't know what she was about. When did you leave?"

"The last time I saw her was the night before yesterday... probably around 10 p.m." Miyano Akemi's expression was a little dark: "I found out about my sister when I was looking through the photo album in the room, so I ran to her I asked her in the room, but she refused to say anything. I had no choice but to leave first..."

"I saw her during dinner yesterday, around 7:30 pm." Nanami Chiaki's small eyebrows knitted together, looking worried: "The last person to see Christina was Komaeda-san. I saw her returning to the villa at eight or nine this morning, and Mr. Sugou saw her when he came to the resource house at eight in the morning, which can also prove this."

"Komaeda-san, are you sure you're not talking nonsense again this time?"

Faced with Nanami Chiaki's suspicion, Komaeda Nagito shouted that he was wronged: "Nanami, you know me. I always say whatever I want! If I really want to cause trouble, I will definitely make you all miserable now. Suspect me as the murderer."

"Just pretend that you didn't cause trouble this time..." Nanami Chiaki sighed, that is, because this testimony has circumstantial evidence, otherwise she would not dare to believe Nagito Komaeda easily. After all, this great god can always He performed some operations that normal people would never think of, not to mention his current brain is not normal.

"This way we can confirm that Christina was still alive before 9am."

"So, when will everyone gather at the resource house today?" Nanami Chiaki asked seriously.

"I came to the resource house at eight o'clock, and I didn't go back after that." Nobuyuki Sugou adjusted his glasses: "So it is impossible for me to have time to commit the crime."

"I should be behind Mr. Sugou, around 08:30? I don't remember clearly. After all, I don't have the habit of checking my watch at all times. I hope you don't use this to doubt me." Nagito Komaeda waved his hand with a wry smile.

"I arrived at the resource house at nine-ten." Miyano Akemi shook her head: "When I arrived, Komaeda was already there."

"I arrived at [-]:[-], but after going into the resource room to see nothing interesting, I came out to check out the stage." Kishibe Rohan frowned: "But I didn't leave, I was checking out the decorations next to the stage, because The workmanship and patterns are quite exquisite.”
