Chapter 1374 Snowstorm
Gawain was thinking that the red ants had already crawled towards the mountain.
From a bird's eye view, there is a villa on the mountain.
The villa is built on an isolated cliff, with only one road leading down the mountain.
At this time, the road leading to the bottom of the mountain collapsed inexplicably, opening a large hole dozens of meters wide.
The cliff scenery is majestic and beautiful, with complex air currents and howling winds.
It is impossible for a helicopter to risk docking.
In other words, until a bridge is built, no one in the villa can get out unless they can fly.
Natural blizzard villa mode.
Gawain sneaked into the villa and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather suit lying on his back in the lobby of the villa, with a dagger stuck in his chest and a pipe falling from his mouth.
Sure enough, a murder occurred.
A group of people stood around him, pointing.
"Detective Yueying, who killed my nephew, you must catch him." An elderly man who was suspected to be a butler bowed and pleaded to a young man, probably only a high school student.
"Don't worry, Butler Matsuda. I just got the news that there was a landslide outside, the road was cut off, and this place was closed. The murderer has been trapped and died here, and it is impossible to escape. Now it is the favorite of the criminal police "Choose one mode." Yueyingtian said confidently.
Because he frequently helped solve bugs in game copies, he inexplicably became a famous high school detective.
However, he still likes this kind of life. He likes to be in the limelight, which is the characteristic of high school students.
Gawain listened patiently for a while and finally understood the whole story.
There were seven people in the villa. The deceased was the owner of the villa, Masao Matsuda, and the old housekeeper was his uncle Hiroo Matsuda.
The other five people are the detective Tsukikage Tian, the writer Takashi Ogami who was invited to the villa as a guest, the singer Shimo Subano, the lawyer Tian Zuo Nenghu, and the businessman Yama Uma Shoji.
Except for the first three people, the names of the guests are quite weird, which happens to be "Shang Xia Left and Right".
After Gawain heard the names of the four people, he suddenly felt that he could also solve the case - the murderer must be one of the four people behind, otherwise, why would they have such names?
Of course he soon discovered that he was too naive.
At the same time, the red ants gathered in the hall and stopped moving, seeming to be waiting for something.
Yue Yingtian began to conduct reconnaissance.
He asked everyone to act together and never leave alone.
We all happened to be men, so we slept together and went to the bathroom together.
"It is often written like this in movies that people who are alone will die. If you don't want to die, or don't want to increase your own suspicion, don't be alone." Yue Yingtian said to everyone.
Everyone nodded.
The six people who were still alive acted collectively.
Yue Yingtian began to survey the scene and asked for alibi...
In order to reduce their suspicions, everyone explained that if someone did not want to speak, they would definitely be hostile.
The deceased died half an hour ago.
It was the moment Gavin heard the scream, the specific time was 14:25.
However, Gawain found that this time seemed a bit inaccurate, but he was not a forensic doctor after all, so he was not sure.
Among the six people, Detective Yue Yingtian was visiting for the first time. He was a stranger to the owner and had no motive for committing the crime. He was with the housekeeper when he heard the victim's scream.
And none of the four people above, below, left, and right had alibis.
Writer Ogami Takao was watching the scenery alone on the cliff, which inspired him to write.
Singer Subano is playing the piano in the piano room.
Lawyer Tian Zuo Nenghu was checking information in the study.
Businessman Shoji Yamazuo was talking to the victim before and came out of the bathroom when he screamed.
In other words, businessman Yama U Shoji was the last person to see the deceased.
His suspicion level immediately increased greatly.
"It wasn't me. Matsuda was fine when I left."
"Huh, it must be you. You owe Mr. Matsuda 50 million yen and you haven't come out at all, so you Kill him!”
“Taka Onoe, don’t slander me. Didn’t you come here to apologize because you were sued by him for satirizing Mr. Matsuda as a nouveau riche in your work?”
The mutual exposure scene begins.
In the mutual exposure of each other, the murder motives of the four suspects soon became clear.
Writer Takashi Onoe satirized Masanami Matsuda in his book. The singer has to step down because his fiancée cheated on him with Masao Matsuda.
Lawyer Tian Zuo Nenghu made a major mistake while handling a lawsuit and was asked by Masao Matsuda to pay huge compensation.
Businessman Shan Youzhenger couldn't afford to pay off his debts.
They are all classic motives for murder...fame, sex, and wealth.
Yue Yingtian carefully searched for evidence. The four of them kept blaming each other until they were eating.
Gawain looked at it for a while and was confused. However, the high school detective's eyes became brighter and brighter.
For Gavin, the case was indeed confusing, and the more he looked at it, the less he understood it.
It wasn't until the last moment that the truth came to light.
"The murderer is you - Hiroo Matsuda!" Yueyingtian pointed at the old housekeeper and said.
"What? I have an alibi. When the young master was killed, the two of us were together!" the old housekeeper said hurriedly.
"Yes, so everyone ruled you out first, but this is where your shrewdness lies. In fact, you used a mechanism to create an alibi." Yue Yingtian frowned Wrinkled slightly.
Everyone asked: "What mechanism?"
"Pipe!"
"What kind of mechanism is the pipe?" Everyone was confused.
“It’s very simple. The hall of this villa can rotate. In fact, the owner of the villa was killed ten minutes in advance by the old housekeeper and hid on the other side. Then he ran over to talk to me. When talking, press Move the pipe, and then turn the hall around to reveal the murdered owner of the villa. "We heard the scream at the same time!" the old housekeeper argued anxiously.
"It's very simple, that's just the recording you played. You were the first to run to the scene and then put the pipe next to the deceased." Yueyingtian shook his head.
"There is evidence. Where is the evidence?" the old housekeeper asked unwillingly.
When everyone heard the other party asking for evidence, they knew that the murderer was really him!
"The evidence is of course this pipe." Yue Yingtian said, taking out a pipe wrapped in a handkerchief.
"You think I'm stupid? If I were really the murderer, why would I put this pipe, the mechanism controller you mentioned, back next to the deceased? Can't I just throw it away?" the old housekeeper asked.
"Of course, because you have a reason to put it back. The deceased left a death message. Whoever takes this pipe will be the one who killed me. You only have the pipe that the deceased never leaves. Putting it back in its original place will prevent me from investigating and paying extra attention to the pipe and discovering its secrets," Yueyingtian said calmly.
"Impossible, I clearly erased that paragraph, how did you find out?" the old housekeeper subconsciously followed.
Everyone stared at him blankly.
Surely only the murderer would say this, right?
The old butler covered his mouth and suddenly fell to his knees, crying bitterly: "It's all his fault. He made me see the truth of the world. I am not a rich man's uncle butler. He is just a homeless man curled up on the street, and he is just a gangster. Everything is fake, fake!”
“I want to kill him, I want to prove to him that this world is real. It’s true! Because as long as you die, you are really dead!”
He held his head and shouted wildly.
Before the old housekeeper went crazy, Gawain was still thinking that he just said a wrong sentence, and there was no way to use it as evidence to testify against the murderer in court.
There is absolutely no need for the old housekeeper to expose himself.
After listening to what the other party said, he realized that the old butler was close to the edge of madness, and a little pressure could make him collapse.
“He’s crazy,” Yueying Tian shook his head, “Send him to Qingshan Hospital.”
"Yeah, what's true or false is really nonsense." The other four people said one after another.
A hint of undisguised joy appeared on their faces.
The death of the victim allowed each of them to relax and no longer have to face the embarrassing situation.
Gawain shook his head secretly. He had no intention of accusing these people of being indifferent.
Now, after knowing the truth of the case, he still has one question that he still has not figured out:
Red ants, why are you here?
His question did not last long.
When he left the castle, it suddenly started snowing.
The words of several people caught his attention:
“It’s Christmas again. This Christmas, I can finally spend it with peace of mind. I want to buy the best holiday gifts for my family. "This is a businessman who owes money.
"Yes, although saying this is disrespectful to Mr. Matsuda, his death really makes everyone relaxed."
Christmas?
What the hell just now, isn’t it still summer?
Gawain suddenly understood why the red ants came here.
It turns out that as long as a case is solved, this copy will suddenly jump in time...
