Returning to Kyoto Taimaki Photography Studio, Takato came to the place where he met Sakuraba Reiichi, Sugita Fumiko and Hayashihara Momoka. When he walked into the room, Takato found that Sugita Fumiko was already here and seemed to be looking for him.
What.
"Ms. Sugita, what are you looking for?"
Gao Yuan stepped forward and asked.
"ah."
Fumiko Sugita was a little surprised by Takato's appearance, and then said, "No, it's nothing."
"Is it a threatening letter?"
Gao Yuan asked directly. After all, recalling the conversation he heard between Sakuraba Reiichi and Sugita Fumiko when he first arrived here, he felt that Sakuraba Reiichi seemed to have been threatened by something.
"You... heard everything."
Sugita Fumiko no longer concealed anything, and took out the crumpled piece of paper she had just found on the ground.
Unfolding the ball of paper, I saw a sentence composed of words cut from a magazine stuck on the paper: Sakuraba, I want to kill you.
While reading this threatening letter, suddenly a siren sounded outside the house.
Gao Yuan didn't say anything else. He went out to take a look and saw only one police car coming over. What got out of the car was an old policeman in plainclothes. It seemed that because there was no murder case, the police were just here to file a case.
Let's do some research.
"I am Kyoto Prefectural Police Dog Kai Genichi. Did you report the explosion?"
Arriving at the scene, Officer Inukai Genichi saw Gao Yuan who had just walked out, showed his police officer ID and asked, "Can you take me to see the scene?"
"sure."
Gao Yuan nodded in response.
But at this time, Fumiko Sugita came out and called Officer Inukai.
"Are you Mr. Police Officer? I have something to tell you."
Inukaiyuan nodded.
At this time, except for Takato, Inukai Genichi and Sugita Fumiko, there were no outsiders here, so Sugita Fumiko showed the threatening letter to police officer Inukai Genichi.
"Mr. Sakuraba received a threatening letter?"
Slightly surprised, Inukai Genichi said, and then asked Sugita Fumiko: "Mr. Sakuraba, do you have any thoughts on this?"
After thinking for a moment, Fumiko Sugita said: "He used to be an action actor who was not popular. Later, he met Momo at the filming set... After that, Momo introduced him to many producers, and he took more and more roles.
too much."
"oh."
Inukai Genichi sighed: "He became a popular actor because of his girlfriend's relationship. Many people must be jealous of him!"
"Please don't say that!"
Fumiko Sugita said, "He himself has been working very hard...but now his face is injured."
"Then... may I ask, what is your relationship with Mr. Sakuraba?"
Seeing Fumiko Sugita defending Reiichi Sakuraba, police officer Genichi Inukai couldn't help but ask.
"He and I are just colleagues in the team."
Fumiko Sugita said, "I'm just a little worried about the threatening letter."
"That's it."
Seeing what the other party said, Inukai Genichi stopped asking further questions.
However, Gao Yuan on the side was very convinced that the other party was not telling the truth. After all, he had seen them kissing before.
"Please police officer, please pay more attention to him to prevent him from encountering any danger again."
Sugita Fumiko begged Inukai Genichi, and when Inukai Genichi nodded in agreement, Sugita Fumiko left.
"Could it be attempted murder?"
Inukai Genichi murmured to himself, and then suddenly noticed Gao Yuan who had been standing by the side, and couldn't help but said: "Sorry, I forgot about you. You are..."
"Mingzhi Gaoyuan, I am here today to visit my friend who is acting in this crew. My friend is also a victim of today's explosion. I was also at the scene when the explosion occurred."
Gao Yuan explained.
"Oh, that's right."
Inukai Genichi said, "Then take me to the explosion site to have a look."
Therefore, Gao Yuan took Officer Inukai Genichi to the scene where the explosion occurred.
"There were no traces of gas leakage or explosives found at the scene."
After taking a cursory look at the Japanese room where the explosion occurred, Inukai Genichi couldn't help but say, and then asked as if Takato was seeking confirmation: "What caused the explosion?"
"It's a dust explosion."
Gao Yuan said, "During the explosion, the scene was filled with fine dust."
"Yes...that's it."
Inukai Genichi seemed to have carefully recalled the explanation of the term "dust explosion" in his mind for a long time before answering.
At this time, Gao Yuan had already leaned down, looked at the powder still remaining on the ground, dipped some powder into the silk scarf he brought with him, and sniffed it lightly.
"It's flour."
Gao Yuan concluded.
Apparently the prisoner knew that the model knife had a spark device and that he had to fight in a room full of dust, so he replaced the dust on the scene with flammable powder such as flour.
Thinking about the threatening letter, I am afraid that the prisoner's target is probably Mr. Sakuraba.
"That's it. Sure enough, this was not a simple accident, it was an attempted murder."
At this time, Officer Inukai Genichi came to such a conclusion through thinking, so he ignored Gao Yuan. Inukai Genichi began to visit the other people at the scene, and asked the director, actors, staff, etc. who were on the scene at the time.
testimony.
Soon, Inukai Yuanyi came to the conclusion:
"There is no mistake, the murderer is Tao Xiang!"
"Why?"
Director Yoshihiro Motomoto, who was talking to Inukai Genichi, was very surprised that the police came to such a conclusion, "Officer, the murderer you mentioned is..."
"That's right, this explosion was a deliberate murder. Where is Momo Hayashihara now?"
Inukai Yuan asked the director.
"Well, because I knew that Tao Xiang was planning to stop acting, I just asked the assistant director to have a chat with her. After all, if she stopped acting, the film wouldn't be able to be filmed."
Yoshihiro Moto said.
"Well, let's go directly to find her now!"
Inukai Genichi said.
So Ben Yoshihiro took Inukai Genichi to Hayashihara Momoka's residence, which was an independent classical cabin in the backyard, and Gao Yuan followed curiously.
"Open the door quickly, please! Miss Momoxiang!"
As soon as they arrived in the backyard, everyone saw the assistant director Daiki Tanaka knocking on the door of the house with Hayashihara Momoka's name on it, and shouting in a pleading tone, hoping that the other party would open the door.
"Hey! What's wrong?"
Inukai Genichi stepped forward and asked, "I am the Inukai of the Kyoto Prefectural Police."
"You haven't been knocking on the door just now, and you haven't even seen Taoxiang's face!"
Director Yoshihiro Moto asked in surprise.
Seeing everyone coming, Tanaka Dashu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Momo Xiang is hiding inside and refuses to come out."
He was still panting as he spoke, and it seemed that he had been shouting and knocking on the door since just now, which was very laborious.
"Is this the lounge?"
Inukai Genichi asked.
"Yes."
Tanaka Daiki said.
"Oh, it doesn't matter."
Inukai Genichi asked, "Is she really in there?"
"Yes, this house is bolted from the inside. There must be someone inside now. This is the only entrance."
Tanaka Daiki said.
"It would be bad if you get sick in there."
Inukai Genichi said, stepped forward and tried to push the door, but found that the door could not be opened. The door latch should have been hung inside. He shouted several times inside, but there was no response.
"Looks like the only thing we can do is break the door open!"
Inukai Genichi thought for a moment and said, "Come on, let's hit it together!"
With that said, Yoshihiro Motomoto, Daiki Tanaka and Takato all agreed, so under the command of Inukai Gen, everyone started to knock on the door, and in the end, the wooden stick of the door latch was broken with just one blow.
When they opened the door, what everyone saw was Mooka Hayashihara who had hanged herself in the house!
