Chapter 1223 Wouldn’t it be better to let the murderer confess himself?
Inspector Megure was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Yuya nodded and said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector, could you please reconstruct the body's original appearance when it fell? Especially the direction his right hand was pointing."
Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
He called a forensic officer and, based on the image in the photo, had Takagi Shigeru act as the corpse and reconstructed the corpse's original appearance on the tatami.
Everyone watched all this with curiosity.
After finishing, Inspector Megure looked at Yuya: "What's next, Kamiya brother?"
Yuya nodded slightly and pointed to the corpse's right hand: "Next, please place the plate on the corpse's right hand, making sure your fingers are aligned with the bloodstains."
Inspector Megure did as he was told and placed the three plates in order from left to right according to where the three people were sitting, while keeping the direction of the bloodstain consistent with that of the finger.
Looking at the corpse and the round plate on the tatami, Inspector Megure was confused: "What's the point of doing this?"
Yuya smiled faintly: "Of course, Inspector, didn't you find anything strange?"
Inspector Megure looked left and right but didn't find anything wrong.
At this moment, Sera Masumi suddenly said, "I see, the direction of the bloodstain is wrong."
Inspector Megure immediately looked at the plate. Did he place it correctly? It was in the direction of the finger.
Yuya corrected him, "Inspector, please carefully observe the direction of the bloodstains. You are not placing them correctly."
Inspector Megure was stunned. He leaned over to the plate and examined it carefully for a while. After all, he was an inspector, so he quickly noticed something was wrong and exclaimed, "This, this! The bloodstain is horizontal!"
He quickly rearranged the plates.
Because the bloodstain was horizontal, after it was rearranged, the bloodstain became perpendicular to the finger.
After doing all this, Inspector Megure looked at Yuu and asked in confusion: "What's the point of doing this?"
Yuya explained, "Mr. Nishizu is 71 years old this year. He was seriously injured when he was hit on the back of the head by the murderer. It is very likely that this blow made him lose his ability to move or even fall into a coma.
But in this situation, he still took the trouble to create such a difficult-to-exert horizontal bloodstain. Isn't it strange?"
Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "Indeed, so this was something the deceased did on purpose before he died?"
Yuya nodded: "Yes, this is the death message left to us by the deceased."
"Next, please turn the plate horizontally in the direction of the bloodstain."
Because Takagi Wataru was lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse, Inspector Megure had to do it himself - as for relying on Yuya to come, that's a joke, he is busy reasoning now, how could he have time to do this?
Inspector Megure turned the three plates over one by one in the direction of the bloodstains, revealing the crane carvings on the front.
Turning it over, Inspector Megure immediately noticed something was wrong and pointed to the plate on the far right, saying, "On this plate, the direction of the crane's beak is the same as the bloodstain!"
Yuya nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the death message left to us by the deceased. This plate is the real one!"
The genuine black disk was found, and all of a sudden, everyone's attention was focused on Toshima Motoyuki.
The plate on the far right is the real one, so according to the sequence, this plate was taken out of the box in front of him.
Inspector Megure said gravely, "So, the murderer who killed Mr. Nishizu with a spear and put the genuine article into his own box was Mr. Toshima Motoyuki?"
Toshima Motoyuki shouted anxiously, "What a joke! How can you treat me as a murderer based on such ridiculous reasoning?"
"The murderer might have noticed the bloodstains on the plate and smeared the same bloodstains on other plates to interfere with the police's search, and then put the plates back into their respective boxes!"
"So, the authentic Duihei disk is in my box because my Duihei disk is authentic!"
Dieye Qinzhi said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, stop talking to yourself."
Itamaki Suzue echoed, "That's right. Your quibbling is totally unbecoming."
Before Toshima Motoyuki could say anything, Yuya said, "That's right, Mr. Harashima, please stop quibbling."
Toshima Motoyuki's expression changed: "What did you say?"
Yuya said calmly, "Because the other two people here have no chance of committing the crime."
Gao Mushi got up from the ground and asked in confusion: "Yuya-kun, what do you mean by this?"
Yuya pointed at the spears by the wall and said, "Officer Takagi, you should have checked them out. These spears are not just decorations, they are real spears."
Takagi Shigeru nodded: "That's right." The forensic officer had already checked this.
Yuya walked over, pulled out the remaining spear with one hand, spun it a few times in the air, and then slammed it hard into the ground, making a loud bang.
"If that old lady and old man were to use such a heavy spear, it would probably be difficult for them to even lift it, right?"
Although You was also holding the gun with one hand, no one would doubt the weight of the gun because of the loud noise it made when it hit the ground.
Itamaki Suzue immediately said, "Stop joking! I can't lift something this heavy!"
Dieye Qinzhi also nodded: "If I were a dozen years younger, maybe I could lift it."
Yuya continued, "Even if the two of them managed to raise such a spear and strike the victim's head, they would surely lose their balance and step on the tatami mats, making a noise. Mr. Nishizu would definitely notice it."
"Noise?" Toshima Motoyuki's expression suddenly changed.
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "That does make sense."
At this moment, Toshima Motoyuki burst into laughter. "Hahaha, young man, you may not know this, but let me tell you. Actually, Mr. Nishizu's hearing aid malfunctioned at that time. So, even if the murderer had stepped on the tatami and made a noise, Mr. Nishizu wouldn't have been able to hear it."
"Huh?" Youye raised an eyebrow and asked slowly, "How did you know that?"
"Huh?" Toshima Motoyuki was stunned.
Yuya crossed his arms and tilted his head. "Can you tell me how you knew that Mr. Nishizu's hearing aid was malfunctioning at that time?"
Toshima Motoyuki's face turned pale and he stammered, unable to speak. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have exposed some key evidence on his own initiative.
Yuu didn't intend to let him go and continued, "We know the hearing aid malfunctioned because Mr. Nishizu didn't check the message I sent him, even though his phone had a message alert tone set. We inferred this based on that, but it's just an inference."
"And the message I sent was 20 minutes before the incident, when Mr. Xijin had not yet been killed."
"Oh, I remember you just saying you had no idea Mr. Nishizu was wearing a hearing aid?"
"Then how did you know it was a hearing aid? And how did you say with such certainty that Mr. Nishizu's hearing aid was broken at that time?"
"Or did you hear it from him himself?"
Toshima Motoyuki's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.
He understood that the death message was just a cover-up. The boy's real purpose was to make him confess that he knew his hearing aid was broken.
Let him admit that he is the murderer!
