Chapter 205 I Don't Remember

Seeing the old man lying in a pool of blood at this moment, the crowd at the banquet site began to commotion, and Gao Yuan, who was guarding the door to prevent people from leaving, felt a little powerless at first when facing a group of guests who were about to leave the scene.

Fortunately, there were not too many people in the banquet hall, and the police department, Nakamori Ginzo, was maintaining the scene. Soon, the order of the scene was under control.

After receiving the call, Police Officer Mu Mu immediately led a team to the scene, so the criminal police of the Metropolitan Police Department came to take over the order of the scene.

"The name of the deceased was Hisaku Ohashi, and he was the president of the Ohashi Foundation. Judging from the situation at the scene, he should have died as a result of being shot."

After a brief inquiry, Officer Takagi began to report the case to Officer Megure.

"According to the testimonies of the guests at the scene, the deceased was planning to hold a charity auction in this villa today. At the beginning of the auction, the deceased asked the service staff at the venue to turn off all the lights in the banquet hall, and then at this completely In the dim banquet hall, a gunshot sounded, and when the lights were turned on again, the deceased had already been shot to death."

"That is to say, someone shot and killed President Ohashi while the lights went out?"

Officer Meguro concluded, "So, was the murder weapon found?"

"found it."

Takagi said, "After the gunshots, the windows of the banquet hall were broken from the inside, and after searching the corresponding lawn outside the windows, a pistol and a night vision goggle were found."

"Pistol and night vision goggles? That is to say, the murderer chose to throw the murder weapon out of the window?"

Said the police officer.

"Well, it should be like this."

Takagi said.

"Then it looks like..."

"The murderer should still be at the banquet."

Interrupting Officer Mumu's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward and said.

"Oh! Brother wise! You are here too!"

Seeing Gao Yuan, Police Officer Mumu said in surprise.

"Yes, Officer Mumu."

Gao Yuan said, "When the gunshots rang out, I stood at the door, and I can be sure that no one left the scene after the incident."

"That's easy to do!"

Hearing this, Police Officer Meguro said happily, "As long as everyone present has a gunpowder smoke reaction, you will know who fired the shot!"

So, Police Officer Megure ordered the police to prepare for the smoke reaction test of everyone present.

"Thanks to you, wise brother, it seems that this case will be solved soon."

Mu Mu police officer laughed.

"Where, the main reason is that Police Officer Nakamori is at the scene to maintain order, otherwise I would not be able to keep so many guests safe."

Gao Yuan said.

Next, everyone is waiting for the police to start the smoke reaction test.And taking advantage of this opportunity, Kuroba Kaito quietly walked behind Gao Yuan, with his back turned, and said to Gao Yuan in a very small voice:
"Mr. Wise, it seems that today's trip is a waste of time."

"Is there no way to investigate the origin of that diamond?"

Regarding this, Gao Yuan didn't look back, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"That diamond is said to be in the private collection of Chairman Daqiao. Only Chairman Daqiao knows its origin. Now that the person is dead, I'm afraid there is no way to know the details."

After Kuroba Kaito returned, he left as if nothing had happened.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan didn't feel much helplessness, after all, it was no longer necessary for him to investigate this matter.

Soon, the results of the gunpowder smoke reaction test for all people were obtained - at the scene, gunpowder smoke reaction was detected on two people, namely the girl and the middle-aged man who were standing beside Ohashi Hisaku at that time.

"In other words, the murderer is between the two of you!"

After receiving the inspection results, Officer Mumu looked at the two of them with serious eyes.

"Hey! What a joke! How could I kill my grandpa!"

Facing the questioning of Police Officer Megure, the girl couldn't help saying angrily.

"You're wronged, officer! I was only invited by Chairman Daqiao to preside over the auction. There is really no reason to kill Chairman Daqiao!"

The middle-aged man said in a little panic.

"However, judging from the results of the smoke reaction..."

"They are unlikely to be the murderers."

Officer Mu Mu, who looked at the two with serious eyes, was suddenly interrupted by Gao Yuan, which made Officer Mu Mu lose his composure, and couldn't help asking:
"Brother wise, why do you say that they are unlikely to be the murderers, the smoke reaction is only seen in the two of them! How do you explain this?"

"Because both of them have gunpowder smoke reaction, they are unlikely to be the murderer."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Before the light went out, the two of them stood beside the deceased. After the light came on again, their positions did not change. Therefore, the two of them had a gunpowder reaction, which can only show that the murderer shot at that time. The location is very close to them, that is to say, the murderer shot while standing beside the deceased. If you don’t believe me, you should test the deceased, and the deceased should also have a gunpowder smoke reaction.”

"However, if you say that, don't they become even more suspicious!"

Police officer Mumu asked suspiciously, "Just because the murderer fired the gun beside the deceased, the two people standing beside the deceased are the most suspicious!"

"Because of the position of the window."

Faced with Police Officer Mumu's doubts, Gao Yuan felt a little helpless and said, "The broken window is at the entrance of the banquet hall, and the place where the deceased was standing was at the innermost part of the banquet hall. The distance between them is nearly 30 meters."

"What's wrong with this?"

Police officer Mumu was still puzzled.

"The window was broken from inside the house, and the murder weapon was found in the lawn directly opposite the window. That is to say, after the murder, the murderer walked to the window and broke the window, throwing the murder weapon down."

Gao Yuan said, "According to the gunpowder smoke reaction, the murderer fired the gun beside the deceased, which means that after the murder, the murderer ran from the innermost part of the banquet hall where the deceased was to the window at the entrance of the banquet hall, and put the murder weapon Throwing it out. There was no light in the banquet hall at that time, and the distance was nearly 30 meters. Even if the murderer could rely on the night vision goggles to run from the deceased to the window, how should the murderer throw the night vision goggles out of the window? How do you run back?"

Speaking of this, police officer Mumu finally understood what Gao Yuan meant.

"What's more, after hearing the sound of the window being broken, the service staff immediately turned on the lights in the banquet hall, which means that after the murderer threw the murder weapon out of the window, there was not much time to move in the banquet hall."

Gao Yuan said, "In other words, the murderer should be among the guests who were still standing near the window after the lights were turned on. But these two who have been standing beside the deceased cannot be the murderer!"

"That's right! How could we be murderers!"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, the girl couldn't help but speak, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I see! It's you, wise brother!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's reasoning, Police Officer Mumu admired him sincerely, then changed the subject and asked, "So, who were those standing near the window at that time? You were guarding the entrance at that time, you should have seen it!"

"I do not remember!"

With a helpless and embarrassed smile, Gao Yuan said so.
