Chapter 169 The next stage

"Stage 3: You guessed the truth of the matter and rescued Ooka Momiji at the last moment, perfectly solving the incident. And because of your performance, you won the praise of the Ooka family. Now, you can ask Ooka Momiji that I begged you, after all, you already had your guess."

"Phase three has been started, now the settlement of phase two begins"

"Logic: S"

"Knowledge: S"

"Courage: A"

"Comprehensive evaluation of stage two: S"

Lying in the hospital and having a simple bandage, Gao Yuan saw that a new stage had begun.

"Mr. Akechi, you...doesn't it really matter?"

At this time, standing next to the hospital bed where Gao Yuan was lying, Tie Zhuyu looked at Gao Yuan with worry and asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gao Yuan said with relief.

"However, it is indeed unbelievable that he was hit by such a fast car and was only slightly injured."

Iori Muga on the side said slightly surprised.

"Well, this is actually a misunderstanding!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain, "It looked like I was hit by a car. In fact, I jumped into the cabin before the car hit me, so I was not directly hit by the car. I was just hit by the slope of the front windshield. It was just like getting on the roof of the car and then falling off.”

"But no matter what, this is too dangerous!"

Tie Zhuyu said worriedly.

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to think so much. And didn't you subconsciously go to save Miss Ooka at that time?"

Gao Yuan said with relief.

"However, Mr. Akechi is really awesome for being able to react like this in such a short period of time."

Iori Wuga admired sincerely.

In response, Gao Yuan just smiled helplessly - of course, this was not something ordinary people could do, but when he reacted, he had already chosen to run out to save Tie Zhuyu, and in the last moment he avoided the impact, I am really just gambling on my life:

"Name: The Hanged Man"

"Special effect: You can throw down any object with a mass of no more than 200 kilograms that touches the "Hermit". After using this effect, you cannot use it again within 24 hours."

Of course, it was impossible for him to jump onto the engine cabin at that moment with his own strength. He was betting on the effect of the "Hanged Man" - after all, according to the description of this special effect, it did not say that this "can fall" The object "inverted" cannot be myself!

What's more, the effects of forces are reciprocal.

It looked like he was jumping onto the cabin, but in fact, at the moment when the car hit the "Hermit", Gao Yuan used the "Hanged Man" effect and threw himself up!

But rather than saying that it was a fall, the final action that achieved this effect was better described as the process of holding the canopy with one hand, then jumping up, and then falling down.

Of course, the force used at that moment was something Gao Yuan would never be able to use normally.

"But, I really didn't expect that the murderer's real target was Miss Hongye."

Iori Wuwo said with lingering fear——

The murderer who was wearing a helmet at the time pushed Iori Muga away, pulled out his dagger, walked straight towards Ooka Momiji, and prepared to stab Ooka Momiji who fell to the ground. But fortunately, Gao Yuan was already prepared at that time. After getting up from the ground, he rushed forward, knocked down the murderer and subdued him.

"For that, I'm very grateful to Mr. Akechi for saving Miss Momiji."

Iori Muga said solemnly.

"But if I have to say it, Mr. Akechi should have guessed that the truth is like this."

Just as he was talking, an uninvited guest walked in directly from outside the ward, looked at Gao Yuan and said, and then a striped squirrel jumped from the visitor's shoulder to Gao Yuan's hospital bed, and finally jumped onto the palm of Gao Yuan's hand - it was Ling Officer Fumimaro Koji.

Ooka Momiji also followed Officer Ayanokouji Fumimaro into the ward.

"After all, the murderer is..."

"That male convenience store clerk."

Interrupting Ayanokouji Fumimaro's words, Takato said clearly.

Hearing this, Ayanokouji Fumimaro showed a helpless smile, and then said in a reproachful tone:

"Sure enough. When we found out the identity of the murderer, we understood what you meant by asking us to investigate the clerk of that convenience store. However, since you knew earlier, you should have told us the police, and we can do better "

"After all, I wasn't very convinced of this conjecture at the time, Officer Ayanokouji."

Gao Yuan said helplessly, "There was too little evidence at that time, so I just made a bold guess."

"But in this case, things are a little strange. If the murderer's purpose was to kill Miss Ooka, then why did he kill Keiko Okumura in the villa that day?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro asked, "Now the murderer is refusing to say anything in the police station. If we don't find some evidence, I'm afraid we won't be able to pry his mouth open."

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "About this, I think you can find the answer from Kubo Haruki."

"Huh? Why does it have anything to do with him again?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro asked in confusion.

"Because, if the murderer's initial target was Miss Ooka, then the attack in the villa should not have existed, but in fact an attack did occur in the villa."

Gao Yuan began to explain.

"At that time, I thought the murderer wanted to kill Miss Moroha, but because Miss Moroha left the villa first, the murderer misjudged the people in the villa, so he accidentally injured Keiko Okumura. And because it was night, Keiko Okumura and Moroha The ladies all have brown hair, so the murderer may have made a mistake.”

"This conjecture is indeed reasonable, and our police later also investigated based on this point. However, after all, this conjecture is not consistent with the current facts."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"So then I thought of another possibility."

Gao Yuan said, "Since the murderer can admit his mistake once, why can't he admit his mistake a second time. After all, speaking of brown hair, in addition to Okumura Keiko and Miss Moroha, there was a third person there that day!"

"it's me?"

Ooka Hongye couldn't help but said at this time.

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said, "Of course, this is just an unrealistic fantasy of mine without any evidence. I really considered this speculation as a possibility to investigate after listening to what Miss Moroha said about what happened at the convenience store that day. After what happened.”

"Hey? Why?"

Tie Zhuyu asked puzzledly.

"Because, if the murderer identifies the wrong person over and over again, there is only one possibility."

Gao Yuan said, "That means the murderer doesn't know the person he intends to kill at all."

"Why would you kill someone if you didn't know him?"

Ayanokōji Fumimaro said in confusion.

"I don't know him, but that doesn't mean I don't know him at all."

Gao Yuan said something puzzling, "For example, the murderer may know this person, know his name, know that this person has short brown hair, but he has never seen this person's appearance, something like this I don’t know.”

"You mean that the murderer wanted to kill Miss Ooka. He knew Miss Ooka's name and that she had short brown hair, but he had never met Miss Ooka in person. Is that what you mean?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said with some understanding.

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said.

"So I guess that the murderer may have some reason to kill Miss Ooka, but he has never met Miss Ooka. He only knows that Miss Ooka has short brown hair. So when the murderer learned about Miss Ooka's schedule, he prepared When we laid an ambush in advance, we found that two of the people present matched the characteristics of short brown hair. So what should the murderer do at this time? "

With that said, Gao Yuan looked at Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu.

"Then naturally I'll find a way to ask them their names, and then prepare to take action."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"But if a stranger asks two female high school students their names face to face, it is very likely that they will not be able to tell them."

Gao Yuan said, "So the murderer thought of a way to secretly put items from the convenience store into the bags of two female high school girls. In the name of slandering them for stealing, he could justifiably ask them to show their student ID cards to confirm their identities."

"Wait a minute! Mr. Akechi!"

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, "Isn't the person who did this not Kubo Haruki?"

"Did you personally see Kubo Haruki put the things into your bags, or did you see the surveillance content?"

Gao Yuan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu were both dumbfounded.

"At that time, Kubo Haruki was harassing Miss Moroha all the way. So it is inevitable that you, who are tired of him, would let him approach casually and put things in your bags?"

Gao Yuan said.

"That is to say..."

"Kubo Haruki, you're lying!"

Before Ayanokouji Fumimaro finished speaking, Takato said with certainty - he contacted Kubo Haruki in the interrogation room. Maybe the story he told four years ago was true, but what happened after that and the change in his attitude, Gao Yuan had doubts about what he said. When Gao Yuan stopped talking and stood up to leave, Kubo Haruki's last words convinced Gao Yuan of this.

"In this case, why did the clerk stop Kubo Haruki about surveillance?"

Tie Zhuyu asked puzzledly.

"Probably because of cooperation."

Gao Yuan said, "The murderer slandered you and wanted you to show your student ID card. Then it would be a little difficult to know your name directly from you. At this time, Kubo Haruki came forward to help you. Maybe the murderer saw it. I know Kubo Haruki’s intention to attack Miss Moroha, so on the pretext of helping him, I plan to ask your names from Kubo Haruki.”

Having said this, Gao Yuan paused and continued.

"Actually, regarding the fact that the murderer killed the wrong person in the villa, one issue has never been resolved, which is the text message sent to Keiko Okumura, and the murderer's need to know the staffing in the villa. It is impossible for outsiders to know this, but If it was Haruki Kubo, then everything would be explained. But it happened that Haruki Kubo had an alibi that night.”

"But Haruki Kubo doesn't have to do it himself!"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro grasped the key point.

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said.

"Wait a moment!"

Ooka Momiji was shocked, "If you say this, doesn't it mean that Kubo Haruki wants to kill Moroha!"

"You can say that."

Gao Yuan said.

"but why?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro asked.

"Officer Ayanokouji, do you still remember what Haruki Kubo said in the interrogation room?"

Gao Yuan said, "At first, he was intoxicated by talking about what happened four years ago, and used it to ridicule me, trying to gain a sense of psychological superiority, but it didn't work. So then he changed his attitude and pretended to be attracted by me. He looked defeated and told me what happened at the convenience store. In the end, I didn’t pay much attention to his departure, and he finally said something in an attempt to make me stay.”

"Yes, but what's wrong?"

Ayanokōji Fumimaro said in confusion.

"Actually, when he talked about the incident at the convenience store, I almost believed that he was so stimulated by me that he collapsed, so I told the truth."

Gao Yuan said, "But when I chose to leave and he said something more jealous, I realized that in fact, his attitude towards me has not changed in the whole process - he has always wanted to psychologically suppress me!"

"At the beginning, he told me what happened four years ago. Of course, these things were probably true, but they were just added to his fantasy. He wanted to use this to satirize me and gain psychological satisfaction. But it didn't work, so the next The second time, based on my career, he told me the truth that I wanted to know in order to satisfy him psychologically. But because I was in a hurry to leave and made him think that I was not deceived, he again. He told the truth and wanted me to stay.”

Gao Yuan analyzed, "But it was precisely because of this last sentence that he revealed his thoughts - Miss Moro Yu is the person he has met most over the years who is most like the person in his memory. In other words, it is his dream . But the best dreams are always out of reach!”

"A dream that is within reach is not a dream. When a dream appears in front of you, the best way is to destroy it..."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said thoughtfully, and then felt a chill in his heart, "You are really perverted!"

"Isn't he a pervert?"

Gao Yuan said meaningfully, "So I guess that when Kubo Haruki approached Miss Moroha at the beginning, he wanted to kill you. So when he heard the murderer's cooperation plan, an idea popped out of his mind - he The names of Miss Zhu Yu and Miss Ooka were exchanged, making the murderer think that Miss Zhu Yu was Miss Ooka."

A very outrageous guess, but in the settlement panel, "Logic" was given "S", which means that my guesses are correct, but the order of my guesses is completely different from what is explained now.

I started to guess the name of the case "Kyoto Famous Family" during the promotion challenge mission. From the beginning, I regarded Ooka Momiji as the real target of the murderer, and used this to integrate all the clues to guess.

It was precisely because of this conjecture that when I saw Ooka Hongye and Tie Zhuyu appearing together today, I had been cautious in advance. Therefore, when the accident happened, I reacted immediately and saved the life. they.

"That way everything will make sense."

Gao Yuan said, "The murderer wanted to kill Miss Ooka, but was misled by Kubo Haruki into thinking that Miss Moroha was Miss Ooka. Then with the help of Kubo Haruki, he used text messages to implement the attack plan that night, but he didn't Thinking that due to an accident, the murderer killed the wrong person. After that, the murderer started to follow Miss Moroha. After a few days, it would be easy to realize that Kubo Haruki had deceived him. "

"By the way, Ryoko Nishio said that Kubo Haruki's strange attitude that night was because he thought that his dream would be killed at night, so he felt so lost. Moreover, because Okumura Keiko didn't go shopping that day, So since I haven’t been to a convenience store, I naturally don’t know who the murderer is.”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and added.

Hearing this, Ayanokouji Fumimaro helplessly raised his forehead and said: "So, Mr. Akechi, is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Sorry, the above are just my guesses."

Gao Yuan also said helplessly, "If I have to say it, the hospital's surveillance should be able to find the murderer entering the hospital that day. The rest is to find evidence that Kubo Haruki had contact with the murderer, as well as the identity of the murderer. It’s about the motive of the crime.”

Thinking about it, Gao Yuan could only make this suggestion. After all, if he had to say it, the "observation" score this time did not enter the top three. He should have missed a lot of details. If it wasn't for "guts" that he accidentally got an "A" score , I’m afraid it won’t reach “S” at this stage.

"Really."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro said, stretched out his hand, and the spotted squirrel jumped back on him again, "Then, our police will investigate in these directions."

With that said, Officer Ayanokouji Fumimaro said goodbye and left the ward.

"However, I have to say that Mr. Akechi who can come up with such a guess is quite extraordinary."

Ooka Momiji couldn't help but say this.

"By the way, Mr. Mingzhi, because you sacrificed your life to save me today, it would be rude if I didn't do anything to express it. So, may I ask, Mr. Mingzhi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Politely, Ooka Momiji bowed gracefully and asked.

"Well, I do have something to ask Miss Ooka for help."

After Gao Yuan thought for a while, he said politely, "Excuse me, do you know Mr. Ooka Kiyosaku?"
