Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 161 Gao Yuan's Speculation

"If you didn't see that text message?"

Said with a trembling tone, Tie Zhuyu was very surprised, she had never thought about this question before.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan said seriously, "If you hadn't seen that text message, would you have come here so late that day to confirm?"

"This……"

Tie Zhuyu hesitated, but still said in a hesitant tone: "Maybe, no way."

Hearing such an answer, Gao Yuan had expected it a long time ago, so he said, "So, it was actually an accident that you came here that night. Normally, you should stay in the bedroom that night, right?"

To this, Tie Zhuyu nodded and agreed.

"Then, Miss Zhu Yu, next, I'm going to state my speculation."

Gao Yuan showed a serious expression, and said solemnly, "I hope you stay calm!"

Seeing Gao Yuan's statement, Tie Zhuyu was obviously a little confused, but after a moment of shock, he patiently waited for Gao Yuan's explanation.

"Miss Zhu Yu, I think the murderer's target should be you!"

Gao Yuan's hands were still on the girl's shoulders, and he said this very seriously.

Obviously, Tie Zhuyu was very surprised by such a conclusion. He stared at Gao Yuan in front of him with wide eyes, showing a look of horror, and then trembling in his tone——

"For...why?"

The girl asked in a daze, "If the murderer was targeting me, how could he attack Keiko?"

"Because the murderer made a mistake."

Gao Yuan said.

"However, if the murderer's target is me, he should know what I look like! Even if the murderer doesn't know Keiko, when the murderer attacks him face to face, he should find that the person in the room is Keiko instead of me!"

Tie Zhuyu said a little excitedly.

Letting go of his hands, Gao Yuan sighed heavily:

"Miss Moroha, when you found out that Keiko Okumura was attacked, she fell at the door, right?"

Tie Zhuyu was a little puzzled by Gao Yuan's sudden question, but nodded silently.

So Gao Yuan continued to say:
"That's right, the murderer did make a mistake. Because after the murderer knocked on the door, the moment the door opened, he didn't see who opened the door, so he suddenly attacked."

"how come……"

Tie Zhuyu said in disbelief.

"Of course, the murderer would immediately realize that he had made a mistake, so after stabbing Keiko Okumura, he immediately chose to escape."

Gao Yuan said.

"But why did the murderer do it the moment the door was opened!"

Tie Zhuyu said excitedly, "At that time, we had two people living in one bedroom, so Keiko and I were the ones who could answer the door! Why did the murderer do that!"

"Because, the murderer is very sure that the person who opened the door at that time could only be you."

Gao Yuan said.

"I'm sure..."

Tie Zhuyu couldn't accept Gao Yuan's statement, so Gao Yuan added: "It's that text message."

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu was stunned.

"That text message was sent to Keiko Okumura, and the content was to ask her to go out that night."

Gao Yuan said seriously, "Then from the murderer's point of view, the person who will go out that night should be Keiko Okumura. In other words, from the murderer's perspective, he is sure that the only person who stays in the bedroom is you!"

Speaking of this, Tie Zhuyu seemed a little dazed, and didn't take the initiative to speak again, but Gao Yuan continued to explain:

"The murderer should have been monitoring the movement of the villa from a distance, but it was in the mountains at night, and there was not enough light. The murderer was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to observe closely, but he could see when someone came out of the villa. When he found out at night After someone leaves the villa, they will naturally think that person is Keiko Okumura who received a text message from Kubo Haruki, so the person who stays in the bedroom can only be Miss Moroha."

"how come……"

Tie Zhuyu said in disbelief.

"It's impossible for the murderer to know that Miss Moroha, you peeked at the text message, and it's impossible for the murderer to know that Keiko Okumura had placed gunpowder in the cabin in advance."

Gao Yuan said, "These are all things that were not planned by the murderer, so until the murderer did it, he didn't realize the fact that the person who stayed in the bedroom in the end was not his target!"

"That is to say, it was because I peeked at that text message that it caused..."

"Miss Zhu Yu!"

Hearing Tie Zhuyu's words, Gao Yuan stopped him immediately, "Please don't think like this, the above is just my current guess!"

Although, this guess explains many subsequent questions——

For example, why Keiko Okumura would say "she doesn't know that person".Because the murderer came from Okitetsu Moroha, it is normal for the unrelated Keiko Okumura not to know the murderer.

The second is why Tie Zhuyu feels that he is being followed.Because the murderer did not succeed once, he would inevitably look for an opportunity to act again, so following Tie Zhuyu to look for an opportunity became a choice.

Also, why Keiko Okumura was killed in the end.Because although the murderer realized that he had killed the wrong person at the time and chose to flee in a panic, but in retrospect, he would think that his face was seen after all. In order to silence Keiko, he had to kill Keiko Okumura in the end.

"And, even if that's the case, you don't have to beat yourself up about it."

Gao Yuan stepped forward to comfort him, "In that case, even I might make the same choice as you. You didn't do anything wrong. And the one who really needs to pay for it is the murderer!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Tie Zhuyu was silent for a while, then looked at Gao Yuan, and said, "I understand. So, Mr. Wise, what should we do next?"

"Well, let me think about it."

Seeing that Tie Zhuyu didn't blame himself anymore, Gao Yuan was a little relieved. Although he wanted to ask Tie Zhuyu what he thought about the murderer's identity, but if he had to say it, the murderer would have murderous intentions for the girl. Even I now feel that this speculation is somewhat far-fetched.

"Kubo Haruki."

After thinking about it, Gao Yuan said, "According to my speculation, if this is the case, then the murderer must know the content of the text message sent to Keiko Okumura, so now I need to confirm whether Kubao Haruki sent Okumura the same night Keiko sent a text message. By the way, you said that the text message was sent by Kubo Haruka, is it because the number on Keiko Okumura’s mobile phone has Kubo Haruka in the note?”

Tie Zhuyu shook his head.

"No, there is no note on that number, but the signature of the text message is Kubo Haruki."

"That's it."

Gao Yuan felt a little helpless - if so, that text message might not have been sent by Kubao Haruki at all.However, no matter what, this must now be confirmed.

"So, Miss Moroha, do you know where Kubo Haruki is?"

Gao Yuan asked.

To this, Tie Zhuyu nodded.

"Well, let's go and ask him now."

Gao Yuan suggested.

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu's expression changed slightly——

"Well, Mr. Wise, can I not go?"

Tie Zhuyu suddenly turned his face away and said so.

　Thank you little penguin for the reward
