Chapter 97 Unworthy Descendants
"No!" Butler Suzuki had already come back to his senses at this time. When he heard the inquiry, he quickly stood up and shook his head, "When I came just now, the door was not open, but locked..."
"Oh?" Kogoro frowned and asked, "Locked? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure!" Butler Suzuki took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, pointed to the door, and explained, "Once this room is locked from the inside, you can't get in without this key..."
"The reason why this door opened was because when I came to invite the master to go to the restaurant for dinner, I knocked on the door for a long time, but I didn't hear the master's response for a long time. I was worried about what would happen to the master's body, so I opened it..."
"But after I opened the door, I saw the master lying on the ground like this...it seemed...dead..."
"Since that's the case..." Xia Ri asked, "Suzuki Butler, I would like to ask, who else has the door key to this room besides you?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been used to murders recently, while Xia Ri spoke, she was surprised to find that when she faced the body of Yumoto Haozang, her heart was not as resistant as before.
It turns out that if you see too many corpses, you will become numb...
"No one..." Butler Suzuki shook his head and said, "The only key in this room is in my hand. Except for me, even the master does not have a key... and the key has been kept on me and has never left..."
"This is difficult..." Kogoro rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "Look, the window in this room is not opened, the only entrance and exit is locked from the inside, there is no sign of pried open, and there is no key, so it is impossible for outsiders to break in..."
"So..." Xia Ri said, "Is this a murder in a secret room?"
"Murder in the secret room!" Qi Benqiujiang was stunned and said in disbelief, "Since outsiders can't break in, how did my grandfather die? Could it be that he or she will commit suicide?"
"Impossible!" Before the others could speak, Yumoto Xia Jiang choked up and said, "It's great, grandpa... how could he commit suicide??"
Mariko Umoto stared at Umoto Natsui and said coldly: "Hmph, what's impossible? I think he must have committed suicide!"
"Oh?" After hearing what Mariko Omoto said, Kogoro raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Haozang, do you have any reason to commit suicide?"
"Reason?" Yumoto Longan smiled disdainfully, and a ferocious sneer appeared on his face, "Hmph, don't you know? I heard that this old man had done many things that were harmful to the world. Now he is old and worried about retribution, so this time he must have wanted to take advantage of Xia Jiang's wedding opportunity to settle it and atone for his sins!"
"Brother-in-law...how can you say that grandpa??" Shi Ben Xia Jiang glared at Yu Ben Longnan angrily.
"What Long Nan said is not unreasonable." Shin-ben Xiangji said in a deep voice, "I also think dad may do this."
Now, Xia Ri finally understood why the 日本色官网 did not leave any inheritance for other descendants. Now the 日本色官网 is not cold, but except for the 日本色官网, there is no sadness on these people's faces, but instead they all show a look of relief.
It seems that the disagreement of the family of the Tsube family is not only due to the character of the Tsube Haozang, but his unfilial descendants should also bear the main responsibility.
Well...but these have nothing to do with summer. He has no right to say anything about other people's family affairs. After all, it is too early to define the suicide of Yuben Haozang as a suicide. What summer can do now is to check the murder scene carefully and try to find one or two clues.
Moreover, even if Yumoto Haozang committed suicide, he could look around the entire room and cause him to commit suicide for a long time, but he still disappeared.
Kogoro obviously thought of a place with Xia Ri. He touched his chin and said, "But if he really committed suicide, it would be strange. Mr. Haozang died of excessive bleeding because of a knife in his abdomen. However, no items similar to a weapon were found in this room... Where would it be?"
Ryuno Umoto leaned outside the door and said with gloatingly: "I guess the weapon may be something like a sharp ice cone. Isn't it often mentioned in mystery novels? After a period of time, the ice will melt and disappear, so the old man will not find the weapon everywhere after he committed suicide."
Ice cone?
Xia Ri thought of some things when he resolved the Yoko Okino case. Fujie Akiyoshi, who committed suicide at that time, tried to use ice to blame Yoko Okino. Is this technique going to be staged soon?
but……
Xia Ri looked down at the carpet and found no water stains. And when he reached out to touch, there was no sign of moisture around the body.
"It shouldn't be ice." Xia Ri affirmed, "From the temperature of this room, even if more than 40 minutes have passed, there is no trace of wet on the carpet."
"Whether it's Bing or not, this must be my grandfather's trick." Qiu Ben Qiujiang looked at Xia Ri's face and said with a smile, "He knew that there were people from Qiu Ben's family who were peeping at his property, so he used this method to punish everyone."
Speaking of this, Qiu Benqiujiang seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled silently: "Oh, of course, the people I mentioned naturally do not include Xia Jiang, who is loved by everyone!"
"Sister...you..."
Shin-Cong-Erge nodded: "Well...it makes sense to say so."
"Uncle Xianger, why are you..."
Longman Zhao Ben smiled 'hehe': "Suicide! Suicide! That old man must have committed suicide!!"
"Sister...brother-in-law..."
He was noisy in his ears, but Xia Ri was not interested in hearing such anecdotes of wealthy families. He frowned and turned around the body of Huo Ben's hiding for several times. Then his eyes slowly moved towards the door along the blood on the carpet.
"From the direction of the body falling to the ground and blood, Mr. Haozang, it seems that he was not killing him."
As soon as Xia Ri spoke, everyone present focused their eyes on Xia Ri.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Kogoro said curiously.
"It's very simple." Xia Ri pointed to the door and explained, "Look, there are a few tick-shaped blood marks that appear when they drop from a high altitude on the door's threshold."
"I think if the door was closed at that time, it would be impossible for blood to be left here."
After hearing what Xia Ri said, Kogoro's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "It makes sense! So, Mr. Hokkien did not commit suicide at all! But he was about to leave the room when he was stabbed by the murderer!?"
