"No, no!"
Hearing that Karasuma Ying wanted to touch her, Mr. Yi quickly ran over and blocked her with his fat figure.
"No, that..." Looking at Wu Wanying's confused eyes, Mr. Yi forced a smile and stammered an explanation:
"Actually, these are not that big of a deal, there's nothing interesting to see..."
[It seems to be a real knife]
Seeing his reaction, Karasumaying had already made up her mind.
"I see."
She retracted her hand and said with a smile: "But Mr. Yi, speaking of which, I seemed to have seen an empty space in the display cabinet just now..."
"Uh, that, that is..."
"And the same goes for the firearms display cabinet next to it. Why is there just an empty spot?"
"This, I, how should I say it, no..."
"The murder weapon katana in Ms. Arai's room should be from your collection, Mr. Yi, right?"
The conversation suddenly changed and Karasuma Ying stared at him with a serious expression.
"Yes... no no no! No! I don't know!"
Having been deceived by Karasuma Ying's sudden move, Mr. Yi seemed to be extremely panicked. His eyes were darting around, his hands were waving around meaninglessly, and large beads of sweat kept falling from his face.
Suddenly, he saw the sword in the display cabinet behind him, and his originally panicked eyes became dazed for a moment.
At this moment, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
[The knife is here, as long as, as long as I...]
"Mr. Yi, what do you want to do?" Karasuma Ying also saw the change in the expression on his face, took two steps back and asked coldly.
Her words seemed to bring back Mr. Yi's consciousness. He suddenly woke up and looked at Wu Wanying in front of him with some horror. He waved his hands and shouted loudly:
"You, get out! Get out! I won't answer your questions anymore! I don't know anything! I, I have the right not to answer! Get out! Get out!"
"I understand, sorry to bother you, Mr. Yi."
Smiling at Mr. Yi again, Karasumaying turned and left the room.
After questioning these three fortune tellers, she had roughly figured out the process of this case, but a few details were not yet clear.
Coincidentally, Arai Daijiro should be in the lounge with Xiaolan and the others now, and she also has a few questions to ask him.
Karasuma Ying went straight to the lounge. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were sitting on the sofa quickly stood up and said with concern:
"Aying, how is the investigation going?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
Smiling and nodding towards the two of them, Karasumaying looked at Daijiro Arai on the other side.
"Karasuma-san, your shoes." At this moment, Qing Shuijing suddenly spoke and pointed to the place where her soles had stepped.
"well?"
Karasumaying looked down and noticed that for some reason, there were little sparkling powders where the soles of her shoes had stepped.
【strangeness? When was this? 】
"A Ying? Where did you get this?"
"No, I don't know either..."
"Miss Ying, have you been to Ms. Edano's room before?" Daijiro Arai asked.
"Ms. Edano?"
"Well, she laid a layer of edge sand in Zedano's room. I heard it was ground glass and then wrapped in a thin resin. It can easily stick to the soles of shoes. Every time people who have been to her room leave, In the future, you will leave this kind of thing wherever you go..."
【Lengsha? 】
After hearing Daijiro Arai's explanation, Karasumaying looked at the soles of her shoes and frowned slightly.
Shaking her head, she reorganized her thoughts, looked at Daijiro Arai, and asked:
"Mr. Arai, I have a few questions for you."
"Miss Ying, please speak."
"I heard there was a money dispute between Ms. Arai and Ms. Edano?"
"Well, there is such a thing. Edano often comes to Kimiko to borrow money from her, and borrows it many times. Now the interest alone is a lot of money every month..."
"So there is still interest?" Karasumaying was a little surprised.
According to this statement, this should not be called borrowing money, but lending and usury.
"Has Ms. Arai found any way to make money recently?"
"Uh, this, there should be something like this..."
Hearing this, Daijiro Arai said with some embarrassment: "About a week ago, I heard Miwako mention it. She said she found a money tree or something, and since then she has become nervous all day long...
But I don’t know the details, and she didn’t tell me. "
[Are you even on guard against your own husband? 】
But the relationship between this couple is indeed not good.
Without further entanglement on this issue, Karasumaying continued to ask:
"Mr. Arai, can the skylight in Ms. Arai's room be opened manually?"
"No, that skylight is remotely controlled and cannot be opened manually."
"Whose hands is the remote control?"
"Kimiko has always held it."
"Only that one?"
"Well, there's only that one... Oh, by the way, the quality of that remote control is not very good and it's easy to break.
Some time ago, Kimiko accidentally dropped it from the table and it broke immediately, but she still called someone to fix it later..."
"I understand... By the way, does Ms. Arai take care of those expensive handbags in her room?"
"Well, Kimiko always wipes them clean. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, thank you."
After nodding her head, Karasumaying turned around and left.
"Oh! Sister Karasuma! So you are here?"
As soon as she left the lounge, she saw Officer Megure who happened to be coming down from the second floor.
"What happened? Officer Megure? Do you have any clues?" Karasumaying stopped and asked.
"Well, there is one. When Mr. Takagi was searching outside the fortune-telling parlor just now, a passerby said that he had heard gunshots in the backyard of the fortune-telling parlor."
"Is it in the backyard..."
After bidding farewell to Officer Megure for the time being, Karasumaying came to the backyard of the fortune-telling parlor, where Takagi Wataru was lying on the ground and looking around.
"Strange, why not?"
"Officer Takagi?"
"Oh, it's Xiaoying." Gao Mushe looked back, stood up and smiled sheepishly.
"What are you looking for here?"
Karasuma Ying asked curiously, raising her head and looking at the divination hall.
At the back of the divination hall, there is an emergency staircase that extends from the ground to the roof.
【really】
"Oh, I'm looking for something similar to a bullet casing." Takagi Wataru explained: "Several people passing by said they heard gunshots near here before.
So I wanted to look for any bullet casings or bullet marks, but I couldn’t find them, haha..."
"No need to look for it, there won't be one." Karasuma Ying shook her head slightly.
"Ah? Why?"
"Because it was not a real gun at all, and naturally there would be no bullet casings left."
"ah?"
"Okay, Officer Takagi, let's go back. I have completely uncovered the murderer's tactics."
