The Advent of the Infinite King

Xie Chen continued: "And tie a rope to the beam of the ceiling, and then wrap one end of the rope in a circle around the neck."

"In this way, when Mrs. Tsuchiya wakes up early in the morning, she will fall off the cabinet because she loses her balance, and then she can automatically commit crimes for the murderer."

"After she was hung, the loud noise was also caused by the murderer placing a kettle under the place where the knot was tied on the roof beam."

"After the victim was hung by the neck, he would definitely die immediately if he fell from such a high place, and then the footsteps of the corpse kicked the kettle down."

"In this way, it will make people look like the deceased kicked the kettle to commit suicide. In this way, not only can the body be discovered as soon as possible, but also a sufficient alibi can be provided for the murderer who was in the living room at that time."

Xie Chen finished his reasoning in one breath, everyone was speechless in surprise, Kikuemon was even more stunned, he had read the reasoning of famous detectives in newspapers before, and was completely shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Officer Mumu asked aloud, "What about the cut mark on Mrs. Tsuchiya's right foot?"

Xie Chen said: "Everyone sees a nail driven into the top of the cabinet, right?"

Everyone looked up, but there was a nail nailed into the door of the cabinet. Officer Mu Mu said, "That's right."

Xie Chen said: "I think it's very likely that when Mrs. Tsuchiya lost her balance and fell, her calf was just cut by the nail."

"The reason why there are traces of blood drops next to the shelf may be because she held on to the cabinet for a few seconds."

Officer Meguro said: "So, the wound on the deceased's right foot was injured by accident."

"Yes." Xie Chen said, "This wound was completely unexpected by the murderer. I think he must have been surprised when he saw Mrs. Tsuchiya's wound."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, adjusted his breathing and continued: "But the murderer should have noticed the reason for her injury soon, and also noticed the blood that fell next to the shelf."

"If the victim squirted the blood around because of struggling, then the distance between her and the cabinet is still too far."

"If someone finds these bloodstains, the murderer is worried that the killing method he used may be exposed."

"So I took the initiative to lead everyone to move the corpse to the place where the blood was already stained, in order to cover the blood with blood."

"I'm not wrong." At this point, he slowed down his speech, "Last night, halfway through drinking, he ran out of the living room and brought Mrs. Tsuchiya here. Ryuichi Seto was the one who designed all these tricks."

Seto Ryuichi's pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, and he froze there as if struck by lightning.

The rest of the people couldn't help looking at him. Although Xie Chen hadn't listed any evidence, Kikuemon was a detective fan of Mori Kogoro and believed in what he said.

"Seto..."

"Could it be...you really..."

Takashi Seto regained his composure, quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'm not the only one who left the living room last night."

"and……"

Takashi Seto looked at Mori Kogoro and said loudly, "Your famous detective was also on the scene at the time, how could I have done such a bold thing."

Xie Chen said slowly: "Even if you are like this, you can't hide it. In fact, it was you who designed Mrs. Tsuchiya to break the Fengshui number."

Takashi Seto took a deep breath, and looked at Mouri Kogoro with frightened eyes.

"You clamped a marble under the Feng Shui to tilt it so it could fall off easily."

Xie Chen continued: "This is also done to make this murder look like the victim committed suicide because he couldn't stand the pain, right?"

"I understand."

Before Seto Ryuichi could explain, Police Officer Megure came over and said.

"If Mrs. Tsuchiya is responsible for all transactions of works, she should be the only one who can store works from the warehouse. In this way, the Feng Shui number will fall sooner or later."

Without giving Seto Takaichi a chance to defend himself, Xie Chen continued: "And last night, Mrs. Tsuchiya got drunk again to celebrate, so last night was the best opportunity."

In order not to be dragged away by others, Seto Takaichi quickly said: "You want to talk nonsense, okay, you don't have any evidence at all, how can you say that I am the murderer."

"You want evidence?" Xie Chen said slowly, "Isn't it right now on you?"

Takashi Seto was taken aback, Xie Chen raised his voice, "Officer Megure, now please turn the back of his jacket to take a look."

Officer Megure walked towards Ryuichi Seto, and the rest of the people also stared at Ryuichi Seto intently.

As soon as Takashi Seto breathed faster, he wanted to run out of the warehouse. Officer Megure lifted his coat. He was wearing white half-sleeves, and there was a less obvious red mark on the back of the half-sleeves.

"This is……"

"It's lipstick." Mao Lilan exclaimed.

Seto Takashi's eyes widened, he pulled his clothes to the front, panic was written all over his face.

Xie Chen said: "I think Mrs. Tsuchiya got it when she was moved to the top of the cabinet, because he couldn't climb the ladder without carrying it on his shoulders."

"Then you pretended nothing happened and went back to the living room, and continued to drink with everyone. The reason why you left the living room at that time was to move Mrs. Tsuchiya into the warehouse before she sobered up."

"Everyone can also take a closer look at the seats in the living room. I think he should have a little lipstick on him because of sweat last night."

Takashi Seto straightened his coat and said with a forced smile, "Don't be kidding, maybe this is really Mrs. Tsuchiya's lipstick."

The more he talked, the smoother he said, "However, it may also be that Mrs. Tsuchiya accidentally touched my back when we were drinking yesterday because she fell asleep."

He scratched his head and continued: "I was very drunk yesterday, and I can't remember things clearly. Can you say that the lipstick didn't get on like this?"

Xie Chen said: "There is nothing you can do if you say that, I will let you see the last piece of evidence, Xie Chen, take out what you just found."

Xie Chen climbed up the cabinet, picked up a ceramic kettle, shook it and said, "It must be this one."
