Hearing what Takato said, Hattori Heiji seemed to understand something and couldn't help but ask:
"Later, the police determined that the deceased committed suicide. Is it your fault, detective?"
Having said this, the other two detectives present also looked at Gao Yuan, seeming to have similar conjectures.
"Um."
In response, Gao Yuan nodded and admitted:
"I came to the 'Lavender Villa' and discovered that there was a problem with the evidence held by the police, so I told the police about the situation. After investigation, the police also completely figured out the truth of the matter..."
"But……"
At this time, Tokijin Junya asked with some confusion:
"I remember that in that incident, the police did want to end the case with suicide at first. However, the police did not find any reason for the deceased young lady to commit suicide. Therefore, the police investigated the young lady's case.
There are doubts about the conclusion of suicide, and the decision has not yet been finalized...
"But now, even if the evidence later obtained by the police is not enough to prove the possibility of homicide, then the police still don't know the reason why the young lady committed suicide? Why did they suddenly conclude the incident?"
"Because the reason why the young lady committed suicide has been found."
Looking at Tokijin Junya, Gao Yuan nodded and said affirmatively, then he began to look around the people present and began to explain:
"In fact, from the very beginning, the housekeeper of that family was fully aware of the reason why the eldest lady chose to commit suicide. However, in order to protect the eldest lady's reputation after her death, he never told the truth to the police and concealed it.
He found out the reason why the young lady committed suicide, which led to the subsequent changes in this incident."
"It's actually like this..."
Feeling very surprised, Tokijin Junya seemed a little unbelievable, lowering his head and thinking deeply.
"However, the police did not find out after a long investigation that the housekeeper was not telling the truth, but the detective noticed this as soon as he arrived at the scene. I have to say, you really have a trick!"
Hattori Heiji praised.
"yes."
In response to this, even Koshizui Nanatsuki started to agree after seeing the expressions of Tokizu Junya and Hattori Heiji:
"This kind of situation where someone deliberately conceals clues is really a situation that is very embarrassing for the people investigating the incident in the actual investigation. And being able to discover something in time is amazing for the detective!!"
"This... can only be said to be good luck."
Facing such praise, Gao Yuan replied with a guilty conscience.
Regarding this matter, Gao Yuan knew very well that it was not because of how capable he was -
After all, what I actually did was just recite the standard answer. It would be shameful to feel complacent about this obviously cheating behavior.
Therefore, regarding the "Lavender Villa" incident, I actually didn't want to take the initiative to mention it, but now, I did actually participate in that incident and had a huge impact on the outcome of the incident. At that time, I still
No hiding of identities…
After all, if Kana Mizuguchi, who met him at that time, had mentioned his name to Nanatsuki Koshizui later, then now, after knowing his name yesterday, Nanatsuki Koshizui probably knew that he was the one who saved Mizuguchi at that time.
It’s Kana’s detective, so it’s not easy to conceal this matter deliberately.
So, after Koshimizu Nanatsuki seemed to deliberately mention the "Lavender Villa Incident", Gao Yuan thought about it and explained it this way.
In this regard, looking at Gao Yuan's somewhat casual attitude, several people present seemed to feel that Gao Yuan did not have any commendable meaning in solving the "Lavender Villa" incident, so because Gao Yuan basically told the story of the incident just now,
After explaining it, everyone stopped talking about this topic.
In this way, after the meal, everyone left the hotel on the island together. Then, while it was still dark, Tokijin Junya seemed to want to go to the island to investigate something, so he told everyone first
After saying goodbye, he walked towards the town on the island——
"This guy...where is he going?"
Seeing Junya Tokizu leaving alone, Heiji Hattori said with some surprise.
"Maybe, he has his own clues to investigate."
Gao Yuan guessed this.
"Huh? Is it possible that that guy didn't share what he knew when he was eating just now? This is too stingy!"
Listening to this rhetoric, Yuan Shan and Ye said with some dissatisfaction.
"This is easy to understand."
But Hattori Heiji didn't care much about this and said:
"After all, we are still in a competition, so it is understandable not to publish the exclusive clues we have found."
As he said that, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look at Takato:
"On the other hand, those who are willing to be honest with us like this are probably in the minority... Then again, if you don't know how to be a detective, you don't care about the final outcome, right?"
As if he just understood it, Hattori Heiji suddenly realized this.
"It is more important to unravel the incident as soon as possible."
Facing Hattori Heiji's inquiry, Takato waved his hand and replied like this.
"Huh? Detective, if you think like this, it will be boring..."
After roughly understanding Takato's attitude, Hattori Heiji seemed a little disappointed and said.
"But I will still try my best."
Gao Yuan added.
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji nodded and affirmed:
"That's right! I guess the detective guy won't be very negative about reasoning... In this case, we can't fall behind that guy. He may have new clues to investigate, but we don't have any substance at the moment.
sexual progress, we will lose if this continues!"
Wanting to win again, Hattori Heiji said eagerly.
But in this regard, looking at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha in front of him, although Hattori Heiji seemed to be very motivated, thinking about their experience at the bottom of the sea just now, Takato couldn't help but say:
"You guys were diving so deep today, and you encountered that kind of accident a long time ago. It's going to be very physically demanding. In addition, you have to continue diving tomorrow, so it's better to go back to rest and recuperate. Leave the investigation to us.
That’s fine.”
Hearing this, listening to Takato's words, and at the same time looking at Toyama Kazuha beside him, Hattori Heiji realized that it was too difficult for her to let Toyama Kazuha dive with him today and encounter that kind of accident again.
Already.
So in the face of Gao Yuan's suggestion, after thinking for a while, his mind couldn't help but recall what he did to let He Ye breathe oxygen when he was underwater, and a strong desire for protection followed.
, Hattori Heiji blushed slightly and said:
"That's right... In this case, Heye and I will go back and rest today... If there is anything else going on today, please let me know."
In this regard, seeing Hattori Heiji's response and a hint of blush on his face, Takato tilted his head, feeling a little puzzled, but he didn't ask in detail, so he temporarily separated from Hattori Heiji and the others, leaving Takato alone.
, and the three of them, Xiao Ai and Koshizu Nanatsuki, continued to do some more investigations on the island in tacit agreement——
"By the way, Mr. Mingzhi..."
And in this regard, when Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuya and others separated from himself and others, Koshimizu Nanatsuki seemed to have thought seriously for a long time before finally sighing and said to Takato:
"Regarding the matter of 'Lavender Villa', I... thank you very much for showing up at that time and unraveling the truth..."
"really……"
At this moment, listening to Koshimi Nanatsuki's words, Gao Yuan thought with some clarity in his mind. He was basically convinced that the female detective in front of him knew from the beginning that she was the one who finally let the "Lavender Villa Incident" be solved.
The detective who solved it.
Come to think of it, at the dinner table just now, Koshimizu Nanatsuki deliberately mentioned the "Lavender Villa Incident" on her own initiative, which had a very strong purpose.
It's just that I don't know whether her main goal is herself or Tokijin Junya...
After all, Junya Tokizu was the detective who made the first important turning point in that incident.
If Tokijin Junya hadn't just happened to be traveling to that villa at that time, holding on to the evidence that the window was broken, and insisting to the police that the death of the young lady might not be a suicide, then nothing would have happened later.
Kana Mizuguchi, who worked as a maid in that villa, was investigated by the police.
Because of this incident, Kana Mizuguchi almost couldn't stand the pressure from public opinion and the police, and almost committed suicide.
In the original work, before Kana Mizui actually committed suicide, she mentioned the matter to Nanatsuki Koshizu. At that time, Kana Mizuguchi was desperate and could only hope that her friend Nanatsuki Koshizu could help her, but
Unfortunately, before Koshimi Nanatsuki arrived, Mizuguchi Kana had already chosen to commit suicide.
For this reason, in the original work, Koshimizu Nanatsuki decided to avenge his friend and find out the high school detective who allowed the police to doubt his friend without thoroughly investigating.
However, in the original work, what Nanatsuki Koshizui knew at the beginning was that the other party was a "high school detective with a strange accent" from Kana Mizuguchi's mouth. There were no other clues other than that, so in order to find the other party,
Only then did the "Detective Koshien" incident in the original work happen, which brought together four high school detectives with strange accents.
But now, because of his own intervention, Mizuguchi Kana did not commit suicide. Therefore, if you want to know who is the "high school detective with a strange accent", Mizuguchi Kana who is still alive can help Koshizu Nanatsuki
Identify specific people.
Therefore, since Koshizui Nanatsuki should have known her name for a long time, she must have already determined the identity of Tokizu Junya...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the fact that Nanatsuki Koshimizu appears here is worth pondering.
"turn out to be……"
In response to this, Takato pretended to think, and then showed a look of surprise, responding to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's words:
"Are you the detective friend that Ms. Mizuguchi Kana mentioned?"
"Why?"
For a moment, when he heard Gao Yuan react like this and immediately understood his identity, Koshimizu Nanatsuki seemed a little surprised, but then he showed a helpless smile and said:
"Why... you've been seen through right now... Mr. Akechi, I'm beginning to understand why Chana praises you so much."
"So...Miss Yueshui, what is the purpose of your coming here?"
Now that the words have reached this point, Gao Yuan simply stopped being euphemistic and stated the doubts in his heart straightforwardly:
"Is it simply because of the commission...or is it because of Tokatsu Junya?"
"well……"
In response to this, Koshizui Nanatsuki's expression was even more surprised, but in the end it turned into a helpless smile, waved his hand, and sighed:
"How come... I have been with you all day today, and I don't feel that you have tried anything on me at all. How come it feels like you have completely seen through me? Or is it that I just asked at the dinner table?
Or is it too deliberate?"
As he said that, Koshimizu Nanatsuki didn't seem to be too obsessed with Gao Yuan's answer, and continued speaking on his own -
"In this case, Mr. Akechi must have guessed the matter very well, right? Yes, I do know the name Tokizu Junya, because he is the man who made Kana suspected by the police of killing the villa.
The detective of the lady’s murderer.”
When he said this, Koshizui Nanatsuki was obviously a little excited, but then he sighed again and continued:
"However, it is an undisputed fact that the purpose of my coming here in the first place was to receive a commission, but I did not expect that I would meet Toki Jinjunya here.
"Just now at the dinner table, I tried to ask Junya Tokijin if he had participated in the investigation of the 'Lavender Villa Incident'. I just wanted to see how he would react now that he knew that his original investigation conclusion was wrong...
…But it seems that he doesn’t want to admit that he was involved in that incident at all…”
Takato already knew everything in silence, Koshizui Nanatsuki did not explain the situation in detail, but just gave a general explanation of the reasons for his actions.
Therefore, Gao Yuan, who really understood, couldn't help but nodded and said affirmatively:
"That's true. But if I have to go into detail, the police, who learned the clues from Tokizu Junya and finally accepted the clues without detailed investigation, also have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. Moreover, as a high-spirited high school student
If you are a detective, you will not dare to face the mistakes you have made. Is this a normal reaction for people of this age?"
"Indeed, I can understand this..."
Koshimi Nanatsuki listened to Gao Yuan's comforting words, lowered his head and said:
"But, after all, it was because of his mistake that things like that happened to Chana, so I still hope that he can apologize to Chana in person."
"In this case, it should be enough to explain it to him frankly. After all, people who can become detectives must have good nature..."
Hearing the purpose of Yuesui Nanatsuki, Gao Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said this -
After all, when thinking about the plot of the original work, Gao Yuan was still afraid that the female detective would go to extremes.
In this regard, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, he seemed to realize something, and Yuesui Nanatsuki suddenly said:
"Ah, Mr. Mingzhi, did you misunderstand me just now?"
