"Takagi, immediately send someone from the forensics department to check whether the thorns and the dust on the handle rope are consistent!"
After listening to Karasumaying's reasoning, Officer Megure immediately ordered Takagi Wataru.
"yes!"
Ms. Zedano on the side asked: "Who is the murderer? Mr. Yi?"
"Huh?! Why do you think it's me?!" Mr. Yi was shocked.
"Because the murder weapon is yours."
"Well, but, but I..."
"The murderer cannot be Mr. Yi."
Karasumaying looked up at the small skylight above her head and said, "Mr. Yi is too fat and there is no way he can pass through this skylight."
"Yes, yes! It's impossible for me! I already told you that the murderer stole my knife!"
"Among us, there were only two people who could pass through this skylight and didn't have an alibi at the time, Ms. Edano and Ms. Kawai.
And I think the real murderer is you, Miss Kawai. "
Karasuma Ying withdrew her gaze and looked at Kawai Suiko behind her.
"Ahhh...why did it suddenly become like this?"
Being identified by Karasuma Ying, Kawai Shuangzi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Obviously besides me, there are many people who can pass through that skylight, such as Ms. Edano? And Mr. Kosaka?"
The Mr. Kosaka she refers to is Tomohiko Kosaka, the host of today's secret meeting, and the person who borrowed the key from the administrator.
Although he is a male, he is very thin and does have the qualifications to pass through the skylight.
"Mr. Kosaka cannot be the murderer. Before and after Ms. Arai was killed, he had been meeting other guests in the hotel. The police have confirmed this through investigation."
"Yes, that's true." Officer Megure nodded, agreeing with Karasumaying's words.
"The murderer is Ms. Edano, right? After all, she is smaller than me, so it would be easier for her to get through the skylight than me, right?"
Kawai Souko turned his attention to Ms. Edano again.
"Death God, what did you say?!"
"No, it can't be Ms. Edano."
Shaking her head again, Karasumaying continued to explain:
“Ms. Edano’s room is covered with sand, which is a kind of artificial particles that easily sticks to the soles of shoes. People who go to her room will have this kind of stuff on the soles of their shoes.
Unfortunately, the police had previously checked and confirmed that there were no particles of sand in this room.
This means that Ms. Edano had not been to this room before the incident. "
"Oh, it's possible that she noticed this and changed her shoes before killing her?" Kawai Soko retorted.
"If it was really a premeditated murder, it's impossible not to notice this, right?"
"you are right."
Karasumaying nodded and agreed with her statement.
"But I have other evidence that can prove that the murderer is you, not Ms. Edano."
"Hahaha... If you have it, then take it out? Indeed, it sounds like I can carry out the criminal method you mentioned, little detective.
But just because of this, do you regard me as a murderer? money? Relationship between men and women? Or resentment? What motive do I have to be hers? I haven't even entered her room..."
"No, you came in."
A sudden voice interrupted her. Karasuma Ying took two steps to the side and picked up the murder weapon katana that was still on the ground, revealing a small string of small heart-shaped blood stains underneath.
"This string of heart-shaped blood stains cannot be formed naturally. At first, I thought it was some kind of signal sent by Ms. Arai.
But it's not true. This special string of blood stains was accidentally left by Ms. Kawai after you stepped on Ms. Arai's blood when you escaped from this room. "
"I?"
Kawai Chuanzi was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Little detective, what nonsense are you talking about? This string of blood stains will have something to do with me..."
"Miss Kawai, your high heels should also be produced by Aide Company, right? Remember that Aide Company's design theme this year is the heart.
Therefore, each of their products this year will have a heart-shaped logo, garden, right? "
"Ah? Well! Yes!" Suzuki Sonoko quickly replied.
"Miss Kawai."
Karasumaying once again looked at Kawai Suzi who was already a little flustered, and said word by word:
"Can you lift your feet up and let us see the bottom of your high heels? If I guess correctly, the bottom of your high heels should be heart-shaped, right?"
With a forced smile, Kawai Suiko said: "Hahaha... I'm not the only one who bought these high heels. Little detective, why do you think those marks were left by me?"
[Resisting stubbornly]
Karasumaying looked at her silently and said nothing.
"Besides, little detective, you seem to have forgotten one thing..."
Suddenly looking up at Karasuma Ying, Kawai Shuangzi said excitedly:
"You must still remember, right? When we first discovered the body, the skylight above was closed, right?!"
"What do you want to say?" Officer Megure looked at her and asked.
"Hahaha, the skylight here is specially designed and cannot be opened manually! Even if the murderer really escapes through the skylight, there is no way to close the skylight from the outside!"
"Sister Karasuma, is that so?"
"Indeed." Karasuma Ying nodded and explained: "The skylight here cannot be opened and closed manually. It can only be operated with a remote control."
Seeing Karasuma Ying admit this, Kawai Shuangzi was even happier.
"Moreover, there is only one remote control in each room! I saw it when we first opened the door. The remote control was in Kimiko Arai's hand!"
"Then just press the remote control outside and then throw the remote control in before the skylight is completely closed?" Suzuki Sonoko heard this and said curiously.
"No, the quality of the remote control here is not good. If it is dropped from such a high place, it will definitely break!
You should have also checked the remote control in Kimiko Arai's hand, right? Tell me, is it good or bad now? "
"It's good, it can indeed be used normally." Karasuma Ying nodded again, she had confirmed this herself.
"Hehehe, so how did the murderer close the skylight? Can you tell me, little detective?"
"It's very simple. It's closed with the remote control. The murderer used a psychological suggestion method to ask Ms. Arai to close the skylight with the remote control herself."
As soon as these words came out, Chuangzi Kawai suddenly trembled.
"What does this mean?" Officer Megure asked quickly.
“When the sunroof was closed, the remote control was in Ms. Arai’s hand.
Ms. Kawai, the reason why you did not kill Ms. Arai on the spot was actually to guide her to complete the final trick of closing the skylight for you. "
