Chapter 76 Miss Detective, are you satisfied with the truth? (Third update~)
The explosive news that there was a body in the basement of the Opera House quickly spread throughout the program.
The first person to be excited by this news was not Hoshino Mirai, but Sagi Hiideoku.
"I would say that this kid seems to be going crazy trying to cover up the existence of this basement. It must be to destroy the evidence that he actually killed more people!"
"But I didn't expect that kid to hide a corpse in this basement. It's really not interesting!"
A little tasteless?
No matter whether it was Hoshino Mirai or Mashima Kazusa, when they heard these three words from Sagi Shunori, they felt the urge to punch him.
But there was no need for Mirai Hoshino to take action personally. Her assistant and butler, Mr. Fang Tian, suddenly punched Sagi Hidetori directly in the face.
This punch was so powerful that it caused Hidetoshi Sagi to fall to the ground...even his teeth were cracked.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Hiidero Sagi was extremely embarrassed by the punch. When he wanted to stand up and fight back, he was suppressed by Mr. Fangtian's terrifying eyes.
"I punched this punch for the victim and the victim's family!"
"But if that's the case, then Ye Falcon... Xiaoye Hayato, why would he risk his life to... cover up the existence of this corpse?"
Mashima Kazusa also saw what this idol lady meant...Although I feel uncomfortable and scared, I just want to watch it!
This alone is enough for Hoshino Mirai to piece together... most of the truth.
"I can understand what Miss Hoshino said."
Hoshino Mirai pointed at the victim who was lying on the ground now and had no human shape. Even though her face was beaten to a bloody pulp, the clothes on her body were still intact.
Hoshino Mirai spit out a mouthful of white mist as she spoke. Only then did she realize that the temperature here had actually dropped to below zero.
Mr. Fangtian caught Hidetoshi Sagi's offended look and signaled him that if he dared to say a word, a new punch was about to hit him in the face.
When Hoshino Mirai tells this final truth...
"Detective Hoshino, am I right?"
Originally, Ye Shun only asked for an item that could be associated with Mochizuki Rei's identity.
The deceased's facial features had been completely disfigured by the blunt instrument. Not a single tooth in his mouth was intact, and the brow bone and bridge of the nose were completely cracked.
The words Mashima Kazusa murmured to herself on the side gave a heavy blow to Hoshino Mirai's heart, which was now on the verge of collapse due to self-blame.
Hoshino Mirai knew that she shouldn't be disappointed at this time, but the disappointment continued to spread in her heart.
As for the person Hoshino hopes to avoid in the future, it is of course Kiyuki Airiu... But even if this idol lady is so scared that she almost tears off Mashima Kazusa's coat, she has no intention of avoiding it.
"What reputation?"
The deceased was wearing an extremely exquisite idol singing uniform. From this, we can initially determine that the deceased was a singer like Eryu Kiyoshi.
But the face of the deceased looked extremely miserable... It would be an exaggeration to call it a bloody mess, as if he had been hit repeatedly on the face with a blunt instrument.
Hoshino Mirai's reaction was much colder than when she first went down to the basement. When she asked Mr. Fangtian to check if there were any other corpses in the underground space...
But this also hurts Hoshino Mirai even more at this moment...
Hoshino Mirai brought his assistant butler and handed over forensic gloves, preparing to lift the white cloth to confirm the identity of the deceased.
"Because...because..."
Hoshino Mirai adjusted his breathing several times before finally telling the truth with choked sobs.
But Hoshino Mirai was not excited at all at this time... On the contrary, a thought occupied Hoshino Mirai's mind, and that was...
But the pain in her body was no less than the humiliation caused by the assault. There were bruises of varying degrees all over the body of the deceased.
"A girl's reputation...is this what Ye Shan wants to defend even if he risks his own life?"
This is proof that this victim has defended his innocence with his life.
Seeing the shocking look of this corpse, Hiidero Sagi couldn't even make a joke.
"The person who strangled the victim... was one of the four ministers killed by Hayato Koba in the previous murder case at the Opera House! I remember the name was Mizo Norimori... he wore a ring on his right hand when he was at the death scene.
He was wearing a gold ring. Although I cannot draw an immediate conclusion, if it is sent to a forensic examiner, the minister’s fingerprints will definitely be found on the victim’s neck.”
"Then…"
"She should be an idol singer like me. The responsibility of idols like us... is to create a character on stage that fans can like, whether it is real or fake, and practice singing and dancing day and night.
…It’s all about being able to show your most charming and energetic side to your fans on stage.”
Just when Hidenori Sagi wanted to ask Hoshino Mirai for confirmation...he found that the Queen of Reasoning was completely dumbfounded.
Because Hoshino Mirai and Majima Kazusa were often exposed to this smell, they had already adapted to it. Only Kiyuki Airu was retching while still holding on to Majima Kazusa's clothes tightly and unwilling to let go.
.
"This is no longer a simple killing, but a brutal killing!"
When Hoshino Mirai saw the body wrapped in white cloth, she was thinking... I can finally make Ye Xuan feel weak! I can finally severely injure the guy who humiliated her in the train incident!
"Because he wanted to preserve the reputation of this victim."
Her mind was already filled with thoughts of 'What on earth did I do?' 'What on earth did I do?!' 'I am such a hopelessly arrogant guy!' This kind of self-blame thought that almost engulfed her was also there.
Occupied by huge feelings of guilt.
But when Hoshino discovered the truth in the future and thought about it, her mood collapsed.
First of all, the deceased must have resisted fiercely before her death. Mirai Hoshino confirmed that all ten of her fingers had been sprained and fractured to varying degrees, and the raised ulna on her fist also showed signs of soft tissue contusion.
Hoshino Mirai cheered up and said.
"He is not the murderer..."
The final cause of death was suffocation after the neck was restrained for a long time.
At this moment, Kiyuki Airiu walked up to the deceased. She didn't care about the miserable death condition of the deceased, and just held her cold little hand and said.
Majima Kazusa directly led her, along with Airiu Kiyoshi who was both scared and eager to see, to the body covered by a white cloth.
"The corpse does not seem to have entered the expansion stage yet, but the temperature here is estimated to be around zero and one degree below zero. It is a large icehouse... so it is normal that the corpse has not yet shown symptoms of expansion."
"Fangtian...please help me check if there are any other corpses in this basement."
Due to the fierce resistance of the deceased, the clothes on his body were intact for the time being and were not invaded...
And Hoshino Mirai suddenly seemed to remember something...and immediately turned his head and asked Kikuchi Akari in the distance.
Don't think like that...it's disrespectful to the deceased.
"Police Majima, I'm going to lift the white cloth... The scene that follows may be very scary. Those who can't bear it should avoid it immediately."
After the warning, Hoshino Mirai was no longer polite and directly lifted the white cloth covering the body with his hands!
Come on... Hayato Koba, let me see what the identity of this deceased person is that makes you want to cover up the fact that this body is here even if you risk your life.
"It was filmed...it was filmed! People all over Japan...witnessed this scene." Akari Kikuchi said.
This corpse has begun to emit an extremely strange smell...
Hidenori Sagi who was on the side couldn't figure out the logic for a while, but his stupid question further stimulated Hoshino Mirai's emotions, which were close to collapse.
"This handprint belongs to Minister Uda Joashi. His thumb nails are very long, so if you grab someone's arm too hard, small pinch marks will appear here..."
"Did you take pictures of everything that happened here?"
Just when Hidetoshi Sagi was about to scold Ye Shun for being such a damned beast for torturing and killing an innocent girl like this, Hidetoshi Sagi discovered something strange.
Hoshino Mirai opened the victim's armband and looked at the handprints that were also deeply imprinted on the victim's right arm and said.
It should be said that they were handprints... The most eye-catching scar on this female corpse was a huge handprint that was pinching her neck.
This handprint has begun to show signs of blackening due to the formation of bruises, which is in sharp contrast with the pale skin of the corpse.
"Who is not the murderer? Miss Hoshino, what did you find?" Mashima Kazusa asked quickly.
At this time, Mashima Kazusa asked Hoshino Mirai a question... that pierced her heart and almost tore it apart.
I saw her yelling directly at Xiude Saaki...
Fortunately, Mr. Fangtian was well prepared. He not only added a down jacket for Hoshino Mirai, but also brought a lot of warm blankets for others...including the recording team who came down with him.
Especially the face must have been pinched by the neck and hit with a blunt instrument ten or a hundred times...
Mr. Fangtian wiped the blood stains on his white gloves with a handkerchief and said.
"Ms. Hoshino?"
"And we absolutely don't want to... and we must never let such a miserable death be known to the fans. If I die in such a miserable way, I would rather just rot in a corner where no one knows, at least... let me
It’s enough that the way you sing on stage will remain in the hearts of fans forever, not like now..."
Hoshino Mirai gently held the cold hand of the deceased, recited the 'Rebirth Mantra' silently in his mouth for a while, and then began to check the physical condition of the deceased.
She was disappointed with the answer, as if she had participated in a grand tomb exploration, but the treasure she found at the end turned out to be the latest version of a smartphone.
The key is that Hoshino Mirai already has a smartphone, and she has more than one.
The most devastating thing about this handprint for Mirai Hoshino is that there is a sunken scar on the index finger of the handprint, which means that the owner of the handprint is wearing a ring.
But who knew that there would be an extra corpse... But Ye Xuan soon realized that this corpse did not appear out of thin air.
"Little Detective Hoshino? Hey little Detective...Looking at your surprised expression, have you discovered anything new? You are talking!"
"Some people once said that detectives are just ghouls. They can only survive by eating the dead that keep appearing... But what I want to say is that people like you are just ghouls! Don't tarnish the detective because of people like you.
This profession!”
'Is that it? Is this the answer you gave me, Xiaoye Hayato? You risked your life just to hide that you actually killed one more person?'
"Do you understand how important a girl's innocence is to her? Whether she is alive or dead! Maybe many people in our country don't care about this thing! But her! This victim obviously cares about herself very much.
Innocent body! This is even more important to her than life!"
In this way, it is impossible to confirm the identity of the deceased just by looking at his appearance.
"The murderer who killed this victim...was not Hayato Koba."
Mashima Kazusa was a little worried about Hoshino Mirai who was suddenly stagnant in place, and lightly patted Hoshino Mirai's shoulder with her hand.
This is probably because the temperature in Tokyo is extremely low during this season, and the underground heating facilities here have long ceased to operate, so it has become a natural cold storage.
When Hoshino Mirai said this, the truth was already clear. This victim was beaten to death by the four ministers!
Ye Shun on the other side was also frightened by the corpse. At this time, Ye Shun was following the detective lady into the underground secret room in the spirit of a falcon.
Unsurprisingly, the deceased was a woman. This woman was also wearing...a costume? It should be said that it was a singing costume.
Hiidero Sagi actually wanted to refute. Do you think private detectives were originally a noble profession?
But for a rising star like Hoshino Mirai, the prefix in front of him is indeed not that of a private detective, but more like those chivalrous figures in detective novels who regard the truth as their own truth.
"Before he died, the deceased was strangled by his neck, pushed to the ground, and punched to death!"
"Wait a minute and look at the sunken part of her right ribs. It turns out that there was more than one murderer. There was at least one other murderer who was surrounding her and beating her! Could it be that... Hayato Koba wanted to hide that he had an accomplice?
!” When Sagi Hidetoshi’s reasoning reached this point, he suddenly felt that all the mysteries were solved!
Yes! The truth that Ye Shun tried so hard to hide was that there was actually a real culprit who was at large in this murder case.
The words Kiyuki Eryu said came completely from her heart.
At this time, Hoshino Mirai was completely unaware of Mashima Kazusa's hand on his shoulder. Instead, he stared blankly at the scars on the female corpse, and kept repeating the words "The murderer is not him".
Hoshino Mirai tried his best to dispel the disappointment caused by the answer to the mystery that anyone could guess, and started doing what he should do as a detective.
But she was already here! This body is the last victim of the ‘Challenge Case’...
"I'm sorry."
Completely finished! There is no room for recovery!
Are you satisfied with this? Mirai Hoshino? Tear apart Hayato Koba's mask of disguise.
The secret he wanted to defend at the risk of his life is now indeed displayed in front of the entire Japanese audience... But are you satisfied now? Questions from the heart tortured the heart of this detective lady.
What an idiot I am! A hopelessly arrogant and willful guy! What on earth have I done now!
After the train case... this detective lady's SAN value was reset to zero because of Ye Xuan again, and she fell into a state of mental breakdown.
