Chapter 391 Chapter 390 The Real Person in the Wax Figure

Chapter 391 Chapter 390·The real person in the wax figure

There are four dummies in the room, sitting at a table eating.

The 35-year-old lawyer Yuta Imada was the victim. He was suspected of being poisoned. He had a painful expression, a ring on his left middle finger, and his fingernails were black.

The 22-year-old housewife Yumiko Takimoto was closest to the victim. She wore a wedding ring on the ring finger of her right hand, proving that she was married. Her expression was very frightened, as if she did not expect the victim to die at all.

The 31-year-old doctor Yukito Maruta sat opposite the lawyer Yuta Imada. He put one hand on the hand of the head nurse Hama Mayu next to him and comforted the panicked head nurse Hama Mayu.

There is a photo of the four of them on the wall, which proves that the four of them are friends and they get together almost every year.

There are some trophies and documents in the cabinets on the wall.

The trophy reads Outstanding Young Lawyer, Law Firm's Most Contributing Lawyer, and Annual Debate Competition Award. The documents also include some of the cases handled by Yuta Imada.

"Then who is the murderer? Isn't he a doctor?"

Shima Ryota asked repeatedly.

"It should be said that the murderer is not only the doctor, these three are all murderers.

"This is a simple reasoning case, because the Devil's House cannot have a case that is too complicated, so that everyone can't find the exit and waste time inside. This will affect the experience of the next wave of tourists. As long as you are a little more careful If you observe it, you will know why all three of them are murderers."

Bai Chuan said with a smile.

The eyes of Ryota Shima, Daisuke Furuhashi, and Miyami Yamani shined. After getting the answer, they quickly began to search for clues in the house.

After viewing the photo wall, they discovered some problems.

Takimoto Yumiko and Maruda Yukito should be a couple, and the nurse manager Hama Mayu and Takimoto Yumiko look very similar, with similar hair color, face shape and eyes. They may be related cousins.

And they found the fifth person in the photo, a handsome man who wore the same wedding ring as Takimoto Yumiko, proving to be Takimoto Yumiko's ex-husband.

"It turns out that Yumiko Takimoto and Mayu Nagahama are sisters, Yumiko Takimoto has another husband, and Yumiko Takimoto and Yukito Maruta are lovers."

Yanomi said in surprise.

Bai Chuan nodded.

"This relationship is really complicated."

Furuhashi Daisuke scratched his hair.

"But we still haven't found any clues as to why the three of them joined forces to kill the lawyer."

Shima Ryota said.

Yanomi picked up the files on the table. The files seemed to have been deliberately messed up and the serial numbers needed to be rearranged.

After Yanomi organized the documents, she made a sound of surprise,

"Everyone, come and see what I found!"

Furuhashi Daisuke and Shima Ryota all gathered around, and Shirakawa also tilted his head in cooperation.

"There are three cases here. The first one is a hospital patient dispute case. The lawyer was entrusted by his friend Yukito Maruta to help him resolve the patient dispute. The second one is an insurance case. The client Yumi Shiraki seems to have no relationship with the people at the scene. .The third case is Takimoto Yumiko’s divorce case. The client of the case is not Takimoto Yumiko, but Takimoto Ryoichi.”

Yanomi said.

"The contract states that the woman cheated on her, and it is certain that Yumiko Takimoto will be able to leave the house clean, or she will only get 10% of the property division."

"That's true. In other words, the lawyer used his friend's relationship to find out that Takimoto Yumiko had an inappropriate relationship with the doctor, and planned to let Takimoto Yumiko leave the house in the divorce case."

Furuhashi Daisuke said in surprise.

"So, Takimoto Yumiko teamed up with her cousin Nagahama Mayu and the doctor Maruta Yukito to kill Imada Yuta."

Shima Ryota said with determination as if he had solved the puzzle.

The three of them looked at Bai Chuan at the same time, seeking the correct answer.

Shirakawa smiled and said, "It's almost like this. In fact, the lawyer should have threatened the doctor or the housewife and asked them for a lot of money, otherwise he would hand over the evidence of their cheating to the client, Ryoichi Takimoto. Of course, the lawyer did this as well. Because he is obsessed with gambling and owes a lot of money. You can observe the condition of the lawyer's fingers. These are the calluses left by long-term gambling and touching the chips. The producer specially zoomed in to let you see it, but you guys didn't. Discover."

"Ah? That's how it is! I thought it was the doctor who ate without washing his hands."

Yanomi pouted her lips.

"Then what exactly was the deceased poisoned to death by?"

Furuhashi Daisuke asked.

"Pay attention to the plates for the four people on the table. What did Yuta Imada eat?"

Bai Chuan asked.

"Isn't this a simple scrambled egg with tomatoes?"

Furuhashi Daisuke said.

"Yeah, but did you notice the other details."

Bai Chuan prompted.

Yanomi pointed to a bee model on the edge of the dinner plate and said, "A bee is coming."

"Yes, the bees were attracted by the sweetness. The nurse should have added an excessive amount of saccharin to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes! The fusion of saccharin and eggs will produce a toxin, which is the poison that caused the death of the deceased."

Shirakawa explained.

"I see."

Yanomi, Shima Ryota, and Furuhashi Daisuke nodded in succession.

"So the whole case was actually about a lawyer who was obsessed with gambling and owed a large amount of money, so he wanted to use the divorce case to blackmail the doctor and the housewife. In the end, the doctor, in order not to be blackmailed, instructed the nurse to add excessive saccharin to the food. , causing the lawyer to be poisoned, so the doctor comforted the nurse and put his hand on her. The housewife was not innocent either. She kicked the doctor under the table just to get the doctor to take action as soon as possible."

Yanomi concluded.

Bai Chuan nodded, "Yes, that's true."

"Then we have cracked the case, how can we get out?"

Shima Ryota has begun to miss his game console.

"Yes, why are the four doors still closed?"

Yanomi asked confused.

"Could it be that we solved the case too quickly and didn't have time to submit the answers?"

Furuhashi Daisuke said excitedly.

Bai Chuan shook his head, "Maybe these dummies have a mechanism on them. Move the victim's fingers in the direction of the mastermind doctor."

Furuhashi Daisuke immediately complied and touched the body of the wax figure Yuta Imada.

Suddenly, his brows wrinkled.

The next second, Furuhashi Daisuke screamed and fell to the ground.

He rolled backwards, "Imada Yuta, yes, yes, it's the real person!"

Bai Chuan was stunned, and his expression immediately became serious.

Yanomi Mi and Shima Ryota were also frightened, and they hid behind Shirakawa.

Shirakawa approached the wax figure of Yuta Imada and touched the skin of the wax figure.

This is a real person whose body has been smeared with a layer of wax oil, and looks no different from the wax statue.

But after direct contact, his body is still different from other wax figures.

After confirming that Yuta Imada was a real person, the four people immediately called the police.

Shuichi Maori took Saya Shiraki and others to the police, and the staff could only apologize and ask other tourists out.

"Kuragi-kun, we meet again."

Mouri Shuichi said with a frown.

Shiraki Saya waved towards Shirakawa.

"Officer Maori, Officer Shaye, long time no see."

Bai Chuan responded politely. It seems that Takahashi Yiren has not told his subordinates his identity.

That's fine. Shirakawa doesn't like to be called Takahashi-kun. He always feels that the name Kuraki-kun is easy to hear.

"How is this going?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

The lively Yanomi immediately explained, "Our Hemu High School Detective Agency went to explore the Devil's House and discovered that this wax figure of Yuta Imada is actually a real person!"

Shuichi Mouri walked up to Yuta Imada and had the wax figure and makeup on his face wiped away, and he saw his real face.

"what!"

The staff immediately screamed.

Mori Shuichi turned around and glanced at them.

Both staff members are wearing blue uniforms, one male and one female.

"This, this is our boss Hashiguchi-san!"

Yuriko, a female employee with a ponytail and delicate makeup on her face said.

The male employee Onuma Kazuhiko, who is of medium height and has bangs covering half of his face and looks a little shy, also nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was their boss Sou Hashiguchi.

"Why is your boss here?"

Mouri Shuichi looked at the two of them seriously.

In addition to them, there are other staff members in the Devil's House.

The zombies played by Kazuhiro Tabuchi, Yuri Matsuki, and Satsuki Terao.

Mizuo Kikuta plays the werewolf.

Ken Miyake, who plays the vampire, and Kuniki Tsumura, who plays the devil, were also called out. There are six actors in total. They usually do odd jobs for the company and are not professional actors.

Six people said they had no idea their boss would be here.

The forensic doctor made a preliminary identification of the deceased Sou Hashiguchi. The cause of death was suffocation. The time of death was between 5 and 6 in the morning. There were no obvious wounds on his body. He should have died of suffocation after being poured with wax oil all over his body after being unconscious. As for the There are many methods of coma, which can be physical or chemical. Detailed examination is required, which takes time.

"Has Hashiguchi-san ever offended anyone?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

Yuriko shook her head, "I don't know much about Hashiguchi-san's personal affairs. I only joined the company half a year ago. Hashiguchi-san's temper is not very good. He often loses his temper over trivial things. He even beat Matsuki-kun and Terao-kun. Said they all owed him a lot of money."

Daisuke Furuhashi immediately looked at the two zombie actors, Yuri Matsuki and Satsuki Terao. He had been frightened by them before.

"You two must have owed money and didn't want to pay it back, so you teamed up to kill Hashiguchi-san!"

"No, we don't."

Matsuki Yuri and Terao Satsuki nervously defended, "The three of us stayed together to practice last night because our acting skills were not good. Tabuchi-san can testify for us."

"Are you still practicing at 5 a.m.?"

Furuhashi Daisuke asked suspiciously.

"Yes, our practice room is monitored. Unfortunately, everyone can watch it."

Tabuchi Kazuhiro said.

Shu Mouri glanced at Daisuke Furuhashi and said, "Furuhashi-san, please be quiet."

Furuhashi Daisuke swallowed and shut up obediently.

Mitsuo Kikuta, who played the werewolf, suddenly said in horror, "Furuhashi-san owes Mr. Taira Takuya a sum of money at the wax museum. Last time I heard Mr. Taira Takuya said that if Furuhashi-san doesn't pay back the money, he will be made into a wax figure! I never thought it was true.”

"Kuragi-kun, what do you think?"

Shuichi Mouri looked at Shirakawa.

"After the deceased Hashiguchi-san was poured with wax oil, he also made up to look like someone else. The murderer must be able to make wax figures and his makeup skills are also good."

Bai Chuan analyzed.

"Are any of the eight of you good at making wax figures? Or someone with good makeup skills."

Shuichi Mouri asked seriously.

When he is serious, he looks very ferocious, the kind that can easily scare a child to tears, making most people afraid to lie.

Yanomi hid behind Shirakawa because she was afraid of Officer Mori's serious face.

"We are the only one who is a makeup artist, Yuriko."

Said Kazuhiko Onuma, a male employee with bangs covering half of his face.

Yuriko said nervously, "I can put on makeup, but I can't make wax figures. The last batch of wax figures were damaged by a group of students who came to play on the weekend. This batch was delivered from Teacher Taira Takuya at 8 o'clock this morning. It's the goods that Onuma-kun and Miyake-kun are here to haul."

Kenraku Miyake is the man who plays the vampire. He is tall. Hearing Yuriko mention him, he immediately stood up and said honestly,

"Yes, I went with Onuma-kun in the morning. Teacher Taira Takuya was not at home at that time. It was his apprentice who helped us carry the four wax figures to the car."

Onuma Kazuhiko nodded,

"Teacher Taira Takuya has the habit of going out for morning exercises every morning."

"Kuragi-kun, what do you think?"

Maori Shuichi once again asked Shirakawa for his opinion.

"Who set up this house of horrors?"

Bai Chuan asked.

The staff looked at Kazuhiko Onuma neatly.

"When the wax figure is carried on a truck, it is usually placed in a cabinet similar to a coffin. During the process of carrying it to the scene for decoration, you will inevitably come into contact with the wax figure. Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Even Furuhashi Daisuke and Shirakawa would find the difference between the deceased and other wax figures after touching them. How could Onuma Kazuhiko, who has been doing this kind of work for a long time, not notice?

Kazuhiko Onuma raised his hands, which were covered with gloves. He took off the gloves, revealing the burned skin.

"Because I experienced a terrible fire 5 years ago, my hands looked very scary. In order not to scare others, I always wore thick gloves. I really didn't realize that Yuta Imada was the boss in disguise, oh No, the boss was killed."

Onuma Kazuhiko said the wrong thing because he was nervous.

Shirakawa nodded. It seemed that the most suspicious person now was Teacher Taira Takuya.

"Then let's go to Teacher Taira Takuya's wax museum."

"Well, let's go now."

Shuichi Mouri sent two police officers to take statements from the eight staff members present, and led Shirakawa and others towards Taira Takuya's wax museum.

Yanomi Mi, Furuhashi Daisuke, and Shima Ryota are also among them.

The three of them, including Bai Chuan, also need to take notes.

"Shirakawa-chan, I didn't expect that we would encounter another case."

Yanomi said excitedly.

"Yes, wherever Shirakawa-chan goes, the case happens."

Furuhashi Daisuke blurted out, as if realizing that everyone around him was looking at him, he immediately covered his mouth.

"Damn it, it's not Shirakawa-chan's fault!"

"I was just talking casually."

Furuhashi Daisuke shut up again.

"Is the murderer really Teacher Taira Takuya? It sounds like he has both skills and motive to kill."

Yanomi looked at Shirakawa curiously.

"It's not certain yet, but sometimes the most obvious clues can point to the wrong results."
