Chapter 808
In addition, if Natori Fukushio is the murderer, then she needs to kill Tetsuyama Yanzhi, run back to the counter at the right time, and then come to this open-air hot spring on the lake.
This is too easy to notice.
Before Aoki Matsu, Yokomizo Shigego and others could figure it out, Jidou Yunping said with some pride and malice: "Then the murderer must be this woman!"
Natori Fukushio was identified as the murderer by Jidou Yunping and was stunned for a moment, "Ah?!"
Jidou Yunping looked at Natori Fukushio and said, "Yesterday I heard your conversation with Mr. Tieshan in the lobby. You said that you finally changed your mind and that you wanted to bathe in the morning sun in the open-air hot spring on the lake. You also said that if you are not satisfied, the male lead can be replaced. I think you must have used the honey trap to invite Mr. Tieshan here."
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego said, "I see. In this case, it is only natural that Mr. Tetsuzan died in the women's bath." Then Yokomizo Shigego looked at Natori Fukushio and asked, "Was that phone call yesterday with you?"
"I was right. I told him that if he was the first one to come to the women's bath in the morning, he could take a bath with him before other customers arrived. But that was just a lie to deceive him. I just wanted to stand that old pervert up and make him look bad.
I am not the only actress who has been sexually harassed by that teacher." Natori Fukushio said loudly and confidently.
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego did not favor anyone. He looked at Jidou Kumopei and Natori Fukushio and said, "In other words, both of you actually have a motive to kill Mr. Tetsuzan."
Jido Yunping was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly pointed at Tanzawa Junsaku and said, "Wait, officer, if we talk about motives, this man also has a motive. Five years ago, he was suddenly removed from Mr. Tieshan's movie list, and he has never had any acting opportunities since then."
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego looked at Tanzawa Junsaku and asked, "Is what he said true?"
"Yes. At that time I did hate him a little, but now I am very grateful to him because it allowed me to experience a lot of... work experiences that I could not get as an actor." Junsaku Tanzawa answered calmly.
"Me too." Natori Fukushio looked at Yokomizo Shigego and said, "I don't hate him so much that I have to kill him."
"Me too!" When Sitang Yunping heard the two of them say this, he quickly followed suit.
At this time, the forensic detective in the bathhouse came out with an evidence bag and said to Yokomizo Shigego, "Inspector Yokomizo, we found this in the basket in the locker room."
Yokomizo Shigego, Aoki Matsu, and others who had sneaked over all looked at the evidence bag - which contained a large empty beverage bottle.
"A PET bottle of neon tea." Yokomizo Shigego said, looking at the evidence bag, "But it doesn't look like it contains tea."
"Yes." The forensic detective said, "It seems to be just ordinary water. In addition, there are used matchsticks floating on the surface of the hot spring lake at the crime scene."
Yokomizo Shigego was confused when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Used matchsticks? Why?"
Seeing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Yokomizo Shigego and said, "Detective Yokomizo, why don't you ask the two staff members at the entrance to the pier from the main building to come over and confront these three people face to face."
"Huh?!" Yokomizo Shigeo was stunned when he heard this.
But unexpectedly, at this time, Huihara Ai spoke up, "Yes, if we have been hiding here for a night, we should not have passed through that entrance today."
Makes sense.
Soon the two hotel staff were called over.
"Because it's very dark on this floor before the lights are turned on at six in the morning. A lot of police officers came today, and there were so many people that I can't remember them all." The elderly staff member said apologetically.
The young staff member followed up and said, “Anyway, Mr. Tieshan was the first one to arrive, and then these kids were clamoring to go in. That’s all I remember.”
Aoki Matsu no longer cared about Yokomizo Shigego's face. He had realized that this man was unreliable, so he asked directly, "I remember you said this morning that Mr. Tieshan made an exception and allowed early access to the hot spring. Has it always been like this?"
"Yes, because Mr. Tieshan particularly likes to be the first to take a bath, so every time he comes to stay, we turn on the lights of the hot spring bath at 4:30 and let him in early." The elderly staff member replied.
Qing Musong asked at this time, "So this morning, did you only see his back, or did you see his face? I mean his face. Not his profile or the face you imagined."
This question made the two of them stunned, and they looked at each other.
The elderly staff member then answered: "We didn't see Mr. Tieshan's face. He was wearing a hat and glasses, and he covered the lower half of his face with a towel. But that unique way of walking and the naturally intimidating aura he exuded were all Mr. Tieshan's style!"
Qing Musong smiled and said, "Hat, glasses, and scarf, this is the classic three-piece camouflage set."
Henggou Shigeo seemed to be thinking about what he heard.
At this moment, a subordinate came over and reported the situation to Yokomizo Shigego, "Inspector, we found that the victim seemed to have lost a ring."
"Ring?!" Yokomizo Shigego asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." The subordinate replied, "In the victim's room, there is an empty jewelry box with the words "Nikmi TV Newcomer Script Award" printed on it."
"The ring you are talking about should be the gem ring with a sapphire the size of a soybean." Natori Fukushio said, recalling.
Sitang Yunping also said, "Yes, it's a silver ring. I remember that when Mr. Tieshan gave a speech or gave a speech at a banquet, he would always wear it with him. He said it was his amulet."
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego immediately looked at his subordinate and asked, "Can't you find the ring anywhere?"
The subordinate replied: "Yes, the possibility we speculated is that the murderer might have thrown the ring and the murder weapon into the lake together."
"Didn't we find anything in the rooms of these three people?" Yokomizo Shigego asked again.
"No, there are some suspicious points in everyone's room." The subordinate replied.
Yokomizo Shigego's eyes widened immediately after hearing this. "Huh!?"
Not only him, Aoki Matsu and Conan also looked at each other with wide eyes.
Tanzawa Junsaku, Terado Unpei and Natori Fukishio were also surprised when they heard this.
The subordinate police officer said: "First of all, there are a lot of used matches in the ashtray in the room."
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego immediately looked at Terado Unpei and said with a stern expression, "Used matches!"
"Is this not okay?" Sitang Yunping asked nervously, "I just use matches to light the cigarette."
The subordinate police officer continued: "There is a glove in the bag in Mr. Danzer's room, but why is there only a left hand?"
Upon hearing this, Tanzawa Junsaku immediately responded, "That's a golf glove. Many people only wear a left-handed glove to prevent slipping. Since I'm right-handed, I wear a left-handed glove."
"In addition, a broken red wine glass was found in Miss Natori's room, and there were several crumpled script pages on the table." The subordinate police officer looked at Natori Fukushio and said.
Natori Fukashio replied somewhat unhappily, "I was just rehearsing. I read the script last night and there happened to be a scene of tearing up a book and throwing a cup at the other party, so I couldn't help but rehearse it. It's my usual style to completely immerse myself in my role."
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, another police officer walked over quickly and said, "Inspector Yokomizo, I just asked the hotel counter staff."
"What's the result?" asked Yokomizo Shigego.
"He confirmed that he had been keeping Ms. Natori's room key for her since around 5 a.m. this morning." The police officer replied, "Also, Mr. Terado said the air conditioner in his room was broken at around a.m. this morning, and asked staff to go to his room."
Upon hearing this, Sitang Yunping immediately said: "But the result was my operational error."
"So, how about Mr. Tanzawa going to the counter to change the money at 4:?" asked Shigeo Yokomizo.
The police officer replied, "This has also been confirmed. It is said that the 1,000 yen bill was exchanged for coins."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Yokomizo Shigego heard this, his mind was suddenly stuck. Among the three suspects, it seemed that each of them was suspicious, but there was no evidence.
After thinking for a while, Yokomizo Shigego looked at the two staff members next to him and asked loudly, "Hey, before our police arrived, was it true that no one returned to the room in the main building from the pier?"
"Yes." the staff member replied.
Yokomizo Shigego frowned when he heard this.
Judging from the current situation, the theory that the murderer hid in the hot spring on the lake for a night is simply impossible.
Thinking of this, Yokomizo Shigego looked at Aoki Matsu and asked, "Inspector Aoki, what do you think?"
This reasoning was made by Aoki Matsu.
"Detective Yokomizo, please have someone search these three people." Aoki Matsu said to Yokomizo Shigego.
"Body search?!" Tanzawa Junsaku, Terado Unpei, and Natori Fukishio all frowned when they heard this.
Yokomizo Shigego also looked at Aoki Matsu and signaled him with his eyes to explain.
"Because the murderer should have irrefutable evidence on him," said Aoki Matsu.
"What kind of irrefutable evidence?" Sitang Yunping asked.
Qing Musong looked at the three people and said, "There is a misunderstanding in this case. The person who went from the main hotel to the lakeside open-air hot spring at 4: in the morning was Mr. Tieshan, but the two staff members did not see Mr. Tieshan's face. So how can we say that it was Mr. Tieshan? And not the murderer?"
"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Regardless of everyone’s surprise, Aoki Matsu continued, “It was very dark here at that time, and the man was wearing a hat, glasses, and a towel as a scarf, so the staff couldn’t see who it was.
In other words, there is another possibility in this case, that is, Mr. Tieshan hid in the open-air hot spring for a night in order to have some sex. Open-air hot springs like this built on the lake are very cold at night, and if you stay outside, you will definitely be too cold to bear it.
So where can we keep warm? Because it was night, the heater in the locker room was not turned on and it was still very cold. So there was only one way to keep warm, that is, soak in the bathtub. In order to keep warm, Teacher Tieshan used a match to light the bathtub and then soaked in the bathtub. He also used a beverage bottle to collect water to drink, because it is easy to get thirsty when soaking in hot springs.
"But this is just your personal guess. It is also possible that the murderer hid here for a night!" said Natori Fukashio.
"No, judging from the fact that Mr. Tieshan's jewel ring is missing, the person who stayed here all night is Mr. Tieshan." Qing Musong looked at the three people and said, "The murderer probably didn't think about this, and only discovered it after killing Mr. Tieshan this morning. Silver will be sulfided and turn black.
The hot spring here is a sulfur spring. Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide reacted, so black silver sulfide was produced on the surface of the ring. That's why the murderer took off the ring worn by Mr. Tieshan, in order to conceal the fact that Mr. Tieshan had bathed in the hot spring. "Said Aoki Matsu.
“The murderer did so many things just to make everyone think that this case was an accident and not a deliberate murder. That’s why he wouldn’t throw the ring into a bath or lake because the water in the bath or lake is very clear and there is a risk of it being seen by sharp-eyed people.
But because we came so quickly, the murderer blended into the crowd but didn't have a chance to leave. So Mr. Tieshan's gem ring must still be on the murderer. "
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego immediately looked at the three people and ordered his subordinates: "Search the three of them immediately."
"Yes!" the police officer responded.
Then he stepped forward and searched the three people.
Soon, Terado Yunpei and Natori Fukushio finished the search and found nothing.
But at Tanzawa Junsaku's side, the police officer who searched him said in surprise, "Inspector, the black ring on Mr. Tanzawa's left middle finger is the sapphire ring!"
"Really?" Yokomizo Shigego hurried over to take a look.
Tanzawa Junsaku wore a black ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and he cleverly turned the sapphire side to the palm of his hand. If you only looked at the back of his hand, people would think he was wearing a plain black silver ring for decoration.
"Mr. Tanzawa, it was you who killed Mr. Tetsuyama, right?" Yokomizo Shigego asked Tanzawa Junsaku.
"I killed him." Tanzawa Junsaku responded calmly with his head down.
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego immediately asked, "What's the reason? Is it because Teacher Tieshan expelled you?"
"Yes, the motive was indeed the leading role that I was removed from. That role was the middle-aged killer in the re-filming of "The Scarlet Fountain". I thought that I would be able to continue to play the leading role in the middle-aged episode after receiving great acclaim in the youth episode."
Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego said, "Maybe he thinks you are too young to play this role."
Tanzawa Junsaku laughed sarcastically upon hearing this, "I originally thought so too..."
