Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 252 What Happened That Night (Two Chapters in One)

"Miki Inoue must be in a bad mood because of her friend's betrayal. She was already in an anxious mood because she was anxious to write a biography, but at this time, Yusuke Koide came to confess."

"Miki Inoue, whose writing progress was interrupted again, must be very uncomfortable. Yusuke Koide pestered her like a dog's skin plaster. In addition, she already had a boyfriend, and she rejected him decisively."

Kindaichiji did not follow the previous way of reasoning by revealing secrets, but directly told the story of Miki Inoue that he had deduced.

Koide Yusuke had a bad nose, so he planned to send a gift and write a letter of apology.

During this process, Miki Inoue finally finished writing the biography of the character, and with the help of Quan Teng Wumin, she got a test of acting training.

Miki Inoue found Yusuke Koide's gift and apology letter when she returned home, but because she was carrying a lot of things at the time, and Shida Marina's interference, she didn't read the contents of the apology card carefully.

She probably just read the first half of the card and confirmed that it was an apology card, so she took it for granted that it was from Luo Chema.

Another reason why Miki Inoue was sure that the gift was given by Roochema was the gift from the other party.

Miki Inoue saw a psychiatrist after getting acquainted with Rochema, and began to use sleep aids under his introduction.

Like lavender essential oil, which has only been used recently and is relatively private, she takes it for granted that only Roochema with whom she has a close relationship can know and give it away.

So she happily found Luo Qiema, and reconciled with him amidst this misunderstanding.

The next step is her acting training, because she is acting in an angry scene, so she must be immersed in a state of anger and hysteria, but such a good thing as reconciling with her boyfriend made her unable to find the state for a long time. She is very tired.

Quan Teng Wumin never called, which made her dare not neglect, and she could only support it with perseverance for half an hour.But after half an hour, she finally couldn't hold on anymore and could only take a short break.

Because of howling for half an hour, her throat was already in a state of extreme fatigue, so she went to Luo Qiema, who always stocked throat medicines, to get medicine.

After getting the lozenges, Miki Inoue will definitely eat them, so he must do something while waiting for the lozenges to take effect.

what will she do

Are you continuing to study how to act in that movie?

Is it just sitting obediently and doing nothing?
Most likely, take out the gift you received before and examine it carefully.

In any case, she thought it was a gift from her boyfriend to apologize, so it was normal to take it and appreciate it carefully in her spare time.

If she did, what would happen?

Miki Inoue would take out the card with the words of apology written on it and examine it carefully.

"If Miki Inoue had looked at the photo carefully before, she would not have thought so easily that the gift was from Roochema."

"Why?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

While turning the magic mirror in his hand, Kazuto Kinda picked up the apology card that Yusuke Koide had written impromptu.

"Everyone just needs to read the contents of this card carefully and you will know."

"I apologize to you for my reckless behavior. You must not take it to heart. I hope we can still be good friends.——A person who is always by your side." The new house Xia Feng read out: "This passage... ··”

"Do you think this sentence is a bit awkward?"

The new house Xia Feng frowned and nodded.

"You are not the only one who thinks this way. Xiangbaoli also had doubts about this passage before, but I saw the problem at first glance."

"what is the problem?"

"The most obvious problem is the last sentence [hope we are still good friends]."

"Yes, if it's an apology letter written by a boyfriend, how could it be written as a good friend?"

"That's right, the only person present who could be called a good friend of Miki Inoue at that time was Ryoko Fukada." Kazuto Kaneda said.

"I..." Koide Yusuke raised his hand, and then put it down in frustration. He actually understood that he was not her friend at all, at best, he was a neighbor who always dangled in front of her .

"This sentence is just the beginning. Don't you think that the tone of the sentence [You must not take it to heart] is not so much a request as an order, or even a threat?"

"I told you to say this..." Everyone looked at Koide Yusuke.

"No...it's not, I'm just not very strict with my words, after all I'm a foreigner..."

"It has nothing to do with Mr. Koide. Think about it carefully. Miki Inoue just secretly broke up with Ryoko Fukada. In a blink of an eye, a card that looks like an apology but also seems to be a threat came. Would she think it was a card?" Yoshiko Fukada is not reconciled to the failure of her plan, and plans to make a comeback, and this time, she may even face it head-on, so she doesn't hesitate to threaten her for it."

"But it's a bit far-fetched..."

"Then add the final signature and the gift that comes with the card!"

"This······"

"Lavender essential oil is a very private thing of Inoue Miki, but a person who claims to be "always by your side" sent this kind of thing, wouldn't it make people shudder?" Kanedaichiji said: "Maybe she noticed it before, Someone sneaked into her house while she was away..."

"But that's what Mr. Koide did."

"But Miki Inoue doesn't know!"

A single girl and a beautiful star, there are traces of being invaded at home, a person who claims to be "the person who is always by your side" sent a little-known private gift, and by the way, there was a hidden threat in the card After a while...

How would Inoue Miki feel then?
disappointment?Because she realizes it's not a boyfriend reconciliation gift.

fear?Because she found that her privacy was being pryed into, her secrets were being revealed, and her safety was being threatened.

anger?Because she realized that Yoshiko Fukada might not let her go so easily, and her dream would be ended.

"Then what will Inoue Miki, who is disappointed, fearful, and angry, do at this time?" Jin Tianyi looked around the crowd: "The fact that everyone knew before is that Inoue Miki didn't even have time to finish a throat lozenge Next, she continued her acting training, and this time, senior director Quan Teng Wumin admitted that her hysterical roar and mad destruction seemed like a real person in a state of madness... ·”

"You mean..." the new name Kabori said thoughtfully: "Miki Inoue's behavior at that time was not performing acting training directed by director Kwon Teng?"

"That's right, no matter whether the person who gave the gift is an unknown stalker or Yoshiko Fukada who intends to threaten and frame her, the kind of deep-rooted fear and anger that go straight to the sky will definitely burst out. Lavender essential oil is It was broken, the table was flipped, and the room was messed up, just like what we simulated before. She yelled angrily and wanted to vent her emotions, because she knew she had only one chance to vent, after today, she was very It's hard to have a reason to vent dissatisfaction through acting training, because neither the stalker as a fan nor Yoshiko Fukada as a senior is something she can provoke at present. In a sense, this is only Can be an impotent rage."

"Even so...what's the point?"

"It's all about the location and the objects!" Kazuto Kinda said.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think it's strange? Before Miki Inoue's acting training was carried out in the living room, why did she move it to the bedroom in the end?" Kazuto Kaneda said: "We have seen before that Miki Inoue collected her The sleep aid drinks, aromatherapy candles and lavender essential oils are all stored in a small cabinet in the bedroom. She must have discovered the secret of the apology card while storing the lavender essential oil. Originally, Miki Inoue thought that the lavender essential oil was a gift from her boyfriend , so even if it is acting training, she is definitely not willing to break it, but it is another matter if it is given by someone with malicious intentions, so the lavender essential oil, perhaps even more lavender essential oil in her collection, was smashed into pieces In the bedroom..."

"I still don't quite understand..." The expressions of everyone were a little puzzled.

Whether it's acting training or actually throwing something in anger, whether it's in the bedroom or the living room, whatever it is, does that make a difference to the outcome?

"Lavender essential oil and the bedroom, these are two key clues, let's not say anything here, and I will talk about what happened next."

"Miss Inoue Miki has relieved her emotions after some venting, but at this time he must not have the mood and energy to do any acting training, and director Quan Teng has never called, she must be a little disappointed, And decided to end this training. However, calling in the middle of the night might disturb the other party, coupled with the shame in her heart, she subconsciously avoided direct dialogue with the other party, so she wanted to send a message through the pager that she could not hold on to. Uncle Teng, but her emotional instability and mental lethargy made her accidentally call the wrong number and send the message to Mr. Kishida Marai."

"The next 10 minutes are blank. In my reasoning, Miki Inoue was preparing to rest. Although the bedroom was already a mess, she was really not in the mood to clean up, so she wanted to sleep like this. Before going to bed, she actually She didn't do much either. She set up the table by the window, and used scented candles or lavender essential oil on it as usual, but I think lavender essential oil is unlikely, after all, that thing represents her exposed privacy, it should be It’s subconsciously not wanting to use this thing.”

"Then maybe she didn't quite calm down when she went to sleep, or maybe she had a mental illness, or maybe the scented candles weren't working very well, so she took some sleeping pills to help her sleep. And just like that, the fire broke out. When she was under the effect of sleeping pills, she was unable to escape from the scene of the fire."

"Mr. Jin Tianyi Er, I still don't quite understand. After you have been talking for a long time, who set the fire?" Xinfang Xia Feng asked eagerly.

"The key to knowing who set the fire is the two things I mentioned earlier - lavender oil and the bedroom, and now you have to add sleeping pills, scented candles and... an earthquake!"

"Lavender essential oil...Earthquake...Ah!" the new name Xiangbaoli exclaimed: "So it is!"

"What's the matter?" Xinfang Xiafeng asked eagerly.

"The one who lit the fire was Miki Inoue herself, right?" Shinna Kayori looked at Kazuto Kaneda, "Mr. Kurahashi said before that he saw Miki Inoue light the fire himself!"

"You want to say that Miki committed suicide?" Xinfang Xiafeng was a little irritable. He gave Xinming Xiangbaori a vicious look, and then looked suspiciously at Kindaichi, hoping to get a different answer.

"It was indeed Miki Inoue who started the fire, but she didn't intend to commit suicide, right?" Shinna Kabori looked at Kazuto Kaneda, her eyes sparkling.

"Ah! I understand too!" Kishida Maurai touched his chin: "So that's how it is!"

"What the hell is going on here, don't try to fool around here one by one!" Xinfang Xiafeng wanted a definite answer.

"Ms. Miki Inoue did light the fire herself, but she didn't intend to set herself on fire." Kazuto Kaneda said, "It was an unexpected tragedy resulting from the combination of many coincidences."

"You mean... an accident?"

"It's not wrong! It was an accident, there was no murderer, and it wasn't suicide. Everything was just an accident!"

Except for the new name Kabori and Kishida Marai who had already guessed the truth, everyone else was shocked.

In the astonishment of everyone, Kindaichiji told the truth of the facts he deduced.

it's actually really easy.

What does it take for a fire to form?
Combustible agent, combustible material and ignition source, if one of these three is missing, the fire cannot be maintained.

According to the police announcement, the source of the fire was in Miki Inoue's bedroom, so this is where the fire started, and there must be three forming elements of the fire here.

What is combustible?

It's easy to find, and flammable carpets, wooden furniture, cloth bedding, and scattered books and papers are all good combustibles.

So what is the accelerant?

Everyone overlooked one point. From when Kurahashi Yongyuan discovered that Miki Inoue ignited the fire to when the fire broke out, it took less than 5 minutes. If there is no combustion accelerant, the fire would be difficult to scale.

The bedroom of Inoue Miki’s room happens to have a ready-made combustion accelerant, which is lavender essential oil.

As we all know, essential oils are actually flammable items, and they can't even be carried on the plane, because they will burn quickly when they encounter an open flame.

The lavender essential oil that Miki Inoue smashed in anger happened to be a combustion aid.

That's why lavender essential oil and location bedroom are the most important clues.

Finally, there is the ignition source.

Yes, even if the bedroom is full of combustibles, and there are very flammable lavender essential oils as a combustion aid, but before encountering an open flame, they are at best garbage.

So what is the source of ignition?

That is the scented candle that Miki Inoue lit before going to bed!
