Chapter 492 Strange crime scene

After Takato and Koizumi Anko left Okuho University Hospital, they drove to a small town near Okuho Town according to the direction given by Yin Tate Ousuke.

The view here is quite narrow, because the town is surrounded by two mountains. The environment is very natural, and you can hear the chirping of birds in the mountains.

But it is precisely because this place is very quiet, there is almost only one main road along the way, and there are no messy roads, so Gao Yuan quickly found his destination - Yamauchi Toda's home.

At this time, not only was there yellow tape on the door of the house, but there was also a police car parked next to it. However, in addition to the police car, there was also a silver "NISSANSKYLINE" that Gao Yuan looked very familiar to, which was also parked together with the police car.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Gao Yuan's lips——

It seems that we have met an old acquaintance!

In response, Gao Yuan directly took out his mobile phone and dialed Officer Gao Mushe's mobile phone number——

"Hey, Officer Takagi."

"Mr. Akechi? What's the matter with you?"

After the call was connected, Gao Yuan first said hello, and then Gao Mushe's confused voice came from the phone.

"Ah, that's it. I'm in Ousui Town now, and I happened to see your car and the house surrounded by the police seal... I want to ask, do you need help?"

Gao Yuan looked at the silver "NISSANSKYLINE" at the door and couldn't help but say this.

"ah……"

"That's just right. Mr. Mingzhi, come in now!"

On the phone, after hearing Takagi Wataru's obvious hesitation, Sato Miwako's affirmative voice soon came.

Gao Yuan was not surprised by this.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan parked the car outside the door and prepared to get out of the car——

"Ms. Koizumi, do you... want to follow?"

Before Gao Yuan was about to enter the scene, he couldn't help but ask Koizumi Hongzi——

After all, as Koizumi Hongzi, she has nothing to do with the case.

"Of course."

Koizumi Anko said very definitely:

"'Gifts should come after reasoning'... Although I don't know exactly what happened, I feel that today's prophecy will not be wrong."

Saying this, Koizumi Hongzi also got out of the car and followed Gao Yuan into Yamauchi Toda's home——

Although this is considered to be within Tokyo, the land price here should not be too expensive due to its strong rural atmosphere. But even so, after Gao Yuan walked through the door, he was surprised to see the entire area of ​​Yamauchi's house, which was almost the size of a football field.

"It's true, I knew it."

Before Gao Yuan and Koizumi Hongzi walked through the path in the backyard, Gao Yuan saw Sato Miwako walking towards the door from the main house inside, and said hello to Gao Yuan——

"The 'Forgotten Detective' was just plotted here. I wondered if Mr. Mingzhi, who was familiar with her, would come to help her get revenge. I didn't expect that he would come so soon."

Sato Miwako said, and when she saw Koizumi Anko who came in with Gao Yuan, she asked slightly confused:

"Who is this……"

"Miss Koizumi Anko is also a detective."

Faced with the inquiry, Gao Yuan answered naturally, and this answer immediately blocked Sato Miwako's mouth, leaving her with nothing to continue asking questions.

"But, Officer Sato."

Seeing that Sato Miwako did not continue to say anything, Takato asked first:

"So, you guys also know that Miss Kyoko was given sleeping pills?"

"kindness……"

Miwako Sato nodded and said awkwardly:

"I'm ashamed to say that Takagi and others were conducting investigations here at the time, but I didn't expect that someone would administer sleeping pills to the detectives involved in the investigation under the eyes of the police... Therefore, we decided to control everyone at the scene in this In the house. But then again, if I hadn’t heard other police officers from the Metropolitan Police mention this ‘oblivious detective’...

"But as long as she falls asleep, she will forget everything... the suspect will do this... for this kind of thing, the suspect will actually believe this kind of rhetoric when they meet for the first time?"

"Perhaps it is also possible that the suspect knew Miss Kyoko beforehand?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but raise a possibility, and then answered affirmatively:

"But in this way, we should be able to confirm that Miss Kyoko must have investigated something before, and the suspect must be in this family!"

To this, Sato Miwako agreed and guided Takato and Koizumi Anko toward the main house——

"Hello? When did I become a detective? I told you beforehand that I don't know anything about reasoning and solving crimes!"

On the way, Koizumi Hongzi seemed a little dissatisfied with what Gao Yuan called her.

"Divination detective...or witch detective...don't you think it's a good fit for you?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain it like a joke, while Koizumi Hongzi really thought about it seriously after hearing these two titles, and couldn't help feeling a little satisfied, so she couldn't help but smile proudly:

"Well... if you want me to perform divination on the case, there's nothing you can do about it... But if I don't have inspiration, I can't do divination!"

Hearing what Koizumi Hongzi said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile, but felt helpless in his heart——

Speaking of which, working with Koizumi Hongzi today always makes people feel that this world is a bit magical.

After all, it is still a little hard to accept that the contract in the dream has become a reality.

What exactly is the so-called dream trial? Judging from Koizumi Hongzi's statement, she probably doesn't know about the so-called dream. It seems that if you want to get the answer, you must obtain the "world"!

With this in mind, Gao Yuan and Koizumi Hongzi, led by Sato Miwako, came to the main house.

This is a large house with traditional Japanese home architectural design style everywhere, but the balcony and second floor are in Western style.

Going out the back door is a vast natural lawn courtyard.

There is a cherry blossom tree planted in the corner of the yard. Behind the tree is the villa where the case took place.

Since the entire house is surrounded by farmland and woods, the nearest neighbor's house is more than twenty meters away, and the size of the neighbor's house is not much larger than that of the Yamauchi family. I think it would be a lot of work for Ousuke Yinkan to mow the garden alone in a place like this.

"Who lives here?"

When Gao Yuan came to the villa, he first asked Sato Miwako.

"The deceased, his wife and daughter lived here. There was also his brother and nephew who originally lived in the next town. They moved here two months ago because of the renovation of their home and are living here temporarily."

Miwako Sato looked in the direction of the main house and couldn't help but sigh:

"Obviously the head of the family was killed right in front of his eyes, but the people in the main house said they didn't notice anything unusual."

"Is there anyone suspected?"

Gao Yuan continued to ask.

"Hard to say……"

Miwako Sato waved her hands helplessly and said:

"After all, everyone who lives here has the opportunity to enter the other house... and the man who originally discovered the body, the man named Yin Tate, was the most suspicious. However, the presumed time of death of the deceased was eleven o'clock yesterday morning , the 'oblivious detective' had established his alibi by questioning the next door neighbor's testimony.

"The deceased's daughter and nephew testified to each other that they were watching TV with each other in the kitchen. However, the deceased's brother and wife had no alibi. Although it cannot be ruled out that an outsider committed the crime, judging from the sleeping pills, the suspect should be at the scene. Someone among several people. And if we only consider the wife and brother who have no alibi, the younger brother will be more suspicious."

"Well... with such an exaggerated hole, obviously men are more likely to..."

When he came to the villa and looked at a hole punched in the wall, Gao Yuan looked at this somewhat shocking scene and couldn't help but say——

The height of the entire hole is slightly shorter than Gao Yuan's height, but the width is dozens of centimeters longer than the height. One hole looks like two meters, and the entire shape is a slightly tilted oval shape.

With such a big hole, it is impossible for the scene to become a secret room.

But why make the hole so big?

Looking at the wooden fragments scattered under his feet and the fact that the hole's incision was full of burrs, Gao Yuan judged that the person who opened the hole should be an amateur——

But in that case, why did the other party go to such trouble to make the hole so big?

Puzzled, Sato Miwako passed through the big hole in the wall and entered the villa, and Gao Yuan also followed in. However, Koizumi Anko looked outside the house and looked in, but did not follow.

The room was probably a single room with a length and width of less than twenty meters square. It had neither wallpaper nor carpets. It was an extremely simple room.

On the wall directly opposite the hole, there is a door and a window.

Green paint was scattered on the ground in front of the door, and a can fell next to it.

On the right wall is a shelf with various tools, and there is a chainsaw on the ground next to it.

An air conditioner is hung on the wall on the left, and a table is placed against the wall below.

Various tools were scattered in the center of the room, as well as an unfinished table. On this table, a human figure was drawn with white lines, and there was a pool of auburn marks next to it——

Did the deceased die here?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan always felt very inconsistent when looking at this strange crime scene...
