The Advent of the Infinite King

"I'll untie the rope, quick."

The three students hugged Mashiko Tsuchiya and let her lie flat on the ground. Yoshihiko Arida felt her pulse and said in pain, "It's hopeless, she's dead."

Silence fell, Kikuemon's eyes trembled, he lowered his head deeply, tears welled up in his eyes, at this moment, he seemed to have lost everything.

After a while, Seto Takaichi said softly, "Master, I'm going to the police station to call the police."

Twenty minutes later, police officer Mu Mu led people to the scene.

"The name of the deceased is Mashiko Tsuchiya. He is forty-two years old this year. He is the owner of this family and the daughter-in-law of Mr. Kikuemon."

Officer Megure squatted in front of Mashiko Tsuchiya's body and said, "Then before you found her body, you were all in this room next to the warehouse and heard something being broken, right?"

"Yes." Arita Yoshihiko said: "Because we had been drinking until late last night before falling asleep, Mrs. Tsuchiya fell asleep first, so I took her back to the room first."

Dagu Xun said: "When I went to call her this morning, I found that her quilt was empty."

Seto Takaichi said: "Just when we were looking for her, we heard the sound of something breaking, so we ran to the warehouse, and it turned out..."

Police officer Mumu stood up and said: "The sound you heard was made by a pottery kettle falling to the ground. Maybe the deceased used her as a stepping stone, and it would break when it was kicked down."

He looked at the scattered ceramic shards, "But how could it be stepped on like this?"

Arita Yoshihiko said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Police Officer, we stepped on it and we wanted to put her down immediately. Maybe she can still be saved. That little brother said."

Police officer Mu Mu saw Xie Chen and said in surprise, "Xie Chen, what are you doing here?"

Xie Chen shrugged, and Mu Mu murmured to himself: "By the way, let's not talk about us, we met here again by such a coincidence, but the only one who was sleeping soundly when the incident happened..."

He turned his head to look at Mori Kogoro who was standing beside him, and said loudly, "It's you, Brother Mori."

Mori Kogoro covered his ears, as if he hadn't woken up, "Please don't be so loud, okay, I drank too much yesterday, and my head still hurts."

"Are you kidding me!" Officer Mu Mu said loudly, "No matter where you go, there will be dead people appearing, do you understand?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Leader."

The police officer who investigated on the roof beam said: "There is no trace of people climbing up on the roof beam."

Officer Megure glanced at Kogoro Mori, Kogoro Mori didn't know whether it was a real headache or a fake headache, so he walked away covering his head.

Officer Mu Mu turned around, looked at the ladder standing on the cabinet and said, "Is that so, this ladder alone cannot reach the beams on the ceiling."

He walked to the cabinet, "I think there must be some heavy object tied to one end of the rope and it was thrown over, so that the rope went around the beam. There are a lot of things that can be tied to the rope here."

Xie Chen casually picked up a pottery pot and said, "But would they use such a precious work for such a thing?"

Arita Yoshihiko said: "The pottery on the shelf is not only the works of the master, but also some of our works."

Ryuichi Seto continued: "If Mrs. Tsuchiya used it, I think she would definitely choose us to make it."

Officer Meguro nodded, touched the cabinet with his fingers, the white gloves were not stained with any dust, and said, "This warehouse is really clean inside."

Otani Kaoru said: "Because we have cleaned up before."

Officer Megure said: "So, the remaining question is..."

As he said that, he squatted in front of Mashiko Tsuchiya's body, "There is a clearly cut wound on Mrs. Tsuchiya's calf, and the blood from this wound seems to be spraying everywhere."

Mori Kogoro came over and said, "I think it must be because she fell to the ground again after hanging herself. At this time, her calf was cut by the fragments of the broken kettle, and then she did it all over again."

"This kind of thing often happens. Either the rope circle is too big, and it falls off after putting it on the neck, or the knot that was tied was not tied properly and sent away. As for the blood splattering everywhere, it should be because she is doing death. Let’s struggle before.”

Mao Lilan interjected, "But I remember hearing the sound of the kettle breaking only once."

Mori Kogoro yawned and said, "When you failed for the first time, you all must have been asleep, because if the rope is loose, it will take more time to try again."

"But..." Dagu Xun suddenly said: "Why does Mrs. Tsuchiya want to commit suicide? I can't see that she is a person who would commit suicide at all."

Officer Mu Mu stood up and asked them a few: "Have you thought of anything?"

Arita Yoshihiko said: "Because she happily drank with us last night."

"It's because of Feng Shui." Kikuemon, who had been standing at the door without speaking, walked in with his hands behind his back.

Everyone made way for him, and he walked up to Mashiko Tsuchiya's body, and said slowly: "In my opinion, maybe she did this because she felt guilty for breaking the Fengshui sign. It's really pitiful." .”

"Feng Shui?" Police Officer Mu Mu asked suspiciously, he had just taken over the murder case, and he hadn't had time to understand what happened before.

Kikuemon looked down at Mashiko Tsuchiya's body without answering.

Ryuichi Seto explained: "It was a newly completed jug that Master wanted to show at this press conference, but it accidentally broke when Mrs. Tsuchiya was about to take it out of the warehouse during the day yesterday."

Having said that, he sighed, bowed his head and said, "If Mrs. Tsuchiya is sorry for that incident, then..."

Police officer Mumu nodded, feeling that what they said made sense, so he said, "So, it is indeed possible for her to commit suicide."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. According to the scene of the plane, there were indeed evidences to judge that this was a suicide case, but he still felt that something was wrong.

Police officer Mu Mu turned his head and said to the forensic officer: "Forensic officer, please help me compare the wounds of the deceased, and the shape of these jug fragments, please?"

"Okay." The forensic officer said: "But because the shape of these fragments has changed after being stepped on, it is impossible to judge whether they match the wounds of the deceased, police officer."

Officer Meguro sighed, "If they can be matched, there will be no problem."

Mori Kogoro jumped out again, and his conclusion was so fast, he said firmly: "This is a suicide case, it must be a suicide case."
