How I was forced to be the villain

After all, it's a girl's room, so it's not good for a lot of people to pass by, so the housekeeper went with Kyono Yan and Edogawa Ranpo.

No one spoke along the way, and everyone was silent.

Jing Yeyan was afraid that if he said too much, he would reveal his secrets, so it is better to be cautious in front of Ranbu, the housekeeper is probably restless, and he is not in the mood to chat, but he just doesn't know what Ranbu is thinking.

He is not a taciturn character.

The three of them kept unusually quiet and walked to the end of the third floor. The housekeeper picked out a key from a bunch of keys without looking at it. The delicate key was turned gently, and the sound of the door lock turning rang out in the silent corridor.

The butler opened the door, turned sideways, and stretched out his hand: "Please."

There was no light in the room, and when I suddenly looked in from a bright place, I couldn't see my fingers.

The eyes quickly adapted to the changes in the light and darkness outside, and with the light reflected in the corridor, he was finally able to see the room clearly.

The inside looks very simple, only a bed is placed in the middle, and the bed curtains are layered down, blocking the figure inside, and there are small tables and desks on the side. There are no sundries, and it is too clean.

Jing Yeyan looked at the butler, even though he knew that the people inside would not be woken up, he subconsciously lowered his voice: "Can we go over and check?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any relationship between the death of the young lady and the master?"

Jingyeyan tilted his head, his eyes fell on his face, "No, it's your master who wants to kill her."

The butler was extremely surprised, "Impossible!"

After getting what he wanted, Kyonoyan looked away boredly, "This is the truth, well, there is nothing to explain, because you are not very clear about it?"

The outstretched hand of the housekeeper froze in mid-air, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He looked at the man walking behind Edogawa Ranpo with his hands behind his back, and suddenly realized clearly that he couldn't hide anything from him.

Kyono Yan is not interested in the butler's inner activities at all.

No matter what kind of reaction it was, it was already in his expectation.

In fact, it was just a whim to test, and when the other party was unprepared, he could get the most authentic reaction, sure enough.

If he really didn't know about it, he wouldn't be so quick to deny it, and just now he subconsciously held his breath, it was a reaction of fear, what made him feel fear... Then Only fear of the secret being discovered.

What kind of secret is obvious.

murderer, or accomplice.

Connivance to crime is also a kind of accomplice.

Jing Yeyan walked around to the other side of the bed, gently raised the bed curtain, and fell silent after seeing the scene inside clearly.

The girl was wearing a white dress, her delicate and small face was deeply buried in the soft and fluffy pillow, her face was bloodless, her crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped low, her hands were clasped on her undulating abdomen, she was quiet and peaceful .

already dead.

Like her father, there is no trauma, just like sleeping.She died shortly, no more than 24 hours later.

According to calculations, the worst outcome they ever imagined still happened.

The butler probably didn't know that the girl was dead, otherwise he wouldn't have let them in.

Maybe in the near future, I will be able to see this girl in the kingdom of Huangquan, if she has no resentment.

Kyonoyan was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Looking at Luanbu on the opposite side, each silently lowered the veil, letting the darkness return to darkness.

......

The pair decided to keep the matter a secret for now.

After returning to the living room, the others also gained a lot. They found the video taken by the deceased before his death. The time shown on the video was 12:15. It is certain that he was still alive at this time.

Until 12:30 when the body was found, during this period, the eldest and young master stayed in the piano room. The life assistant who delivered the food can prove that the door of the piano room has been repaired recently, so there is no way to close it tightly. She can always hear to a smooth sound.

Kunikida's recording pen paused, "But you can also play the recording."

The assistant was a little annoyed, with fire in her eyes: "I have been with the young master for so many years, thanks to the young master, I still have the ability to distinguish between live and recording."

Junichiro Tanizaki tugged at his clothes in embarrassment, "Ahaha..."

Obviously, interrogating her young master as a suspect displeased her.She will not believe that the person who has been waiting will kill her father.

The assistant next to the second young master is the same.

Assistant brother: "Master, he was chatting with the subordinate who came to deliver the materials in the garden, the gardener can testify!"

Osamu Dazai suddenly let out a chuckle, "If it was poisoning, wouldn't those of you who have the alibi be more suspected?"

"you!"

Osamu Dazai ignored the angry assistant and the gloomy housekeeper, and played the video again, turning the volume to the maximum for the second time.

The assistant said impatiently, "What are you doing—"

"Shh—you listen."

It's not obvious when playing normally, but when the sound is turned to the loudest, everyone can hear it.

"The cry of a crow." Jing Yeyan said the answer.

Now everyone's face is a bit ugly.

In fact, noon is not the time for crows.

Jing Yeyan said without any surprise: "Today is the only time when crows may crow, I believe everyone still remembers it."

The first time the deputy mayor left was because the butler whispered something in his ear, a momentary look of disgust appeared on his face, and then he left in a hurry.

Then, just before dinner, the butler left to call the deputy mayor, and then came back to tell everyone that the deputy mayor had urgent government affairs to deal with, so he couldn't have dinner with everyone for the time being, so that everyone didn't have to wait for him.

However, while the housekeeper was away, a crow landed by the window of the dining room and flew in by accident. The sound echoed throughout the house, and directly above the dining room was the place where the deceased died.

Thinking about it now, the crow would fly at an inappropriate time, perhaps because it was attracted by the gem in the deputy mayor's hand. This kind of bird likes shiny things.

And it last appeared at 12:00, that is to say, it is impossible for a crow to crow in the video shot at 12:15.

"During these 15 minutes, each of you did not have an alibi. In other words, Mr. Deputy Mayor died during these 15 minutes. The prisoner set his watch forward by 15 minutes in order to create an alibi and be able to The only people who have access to the dead man's phone are Mr. Steward and the two young masters."

The lady over there who came to this villa as the second young master's girlfriend obviously didn't have such conditions.

Under the constantly revealed evidence, the two assistants could no longer refute it, but it was still hard to believe such a conclusion in their hearts.

These three people, no matter which one, are the closest people to the deceased.

At this point, the answer is already obvious.

Jing Yeyan covered his face with a headache, "Actually, I have never quite understood what gave you the courage to commit crimes in front of famous detectives."

No matter which murderer it is.

Saying this sentence is very hateful, at least the faces of the three suspects opposite are very ugly.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't expect Kyono Yan to say that, it was a blatant compliment, and it was not the kind of flattery, but really thought so, so he cleared his throat, sat up straight, A look of pride.

A famous detective is a famous detective, very strong.

Jing Yeyan clapped his palms to attract everyone's attention, "Now is the detective's time."

Luanbu was discouraged all of a sudden, thinking angrily:

What, he already knew the answer himself, but asking a famous detective to tell him is clearly treating a famous detective as a coolie.

But the case still needs to be solved, because besides the death of the deputy mayor, there is one more important thing to do.

"The person who killed the deputy mayor was—"

......

For Honma, the violin is the foundation of his life, and he has never regretted his life.

In order to consolidate Honma's political power, the father is going to blame the sister's incident on the political opponent, but if he wants the opponent to be completely invincible, he has to let the opponent bear his life.

In order to hit Honma, the other party did not hesitate to attack his beloved little daughter.Curse the young girl, and finally lead to the girl's death.

What a reason to win the sympathy of the people.

It can not only make opponents disappear, but also win votes for themselves, killing two birds with one stone.

But that disease is not fatal. In order to prove the truth that the other party killed him, the man is going to do it himself.

Honma regretted it when he hid in the corner and saw his father pouring poison on his sister with his own hands.

Regret, guilt, and guilt overwhelmed his reason.

This is all his fault. If he entered politics according to his father's arrangement, wouldn't he need to use this method to gain status now, wouldn't it be... my sister wouldn't have to die.

At that moment, he thought he was trembling, but his mind was sober.

He felt that time was flowing backwards around him, and noisy voices rang in his ears, finally converging into one sentence.

"You have to stop father, you have to protect Ayako."

His eyes were empty, and he stood there alone, whispering like a demon.

......

The assistant lady looked at the gentle young master in her heart in disbelief, her fingers trembling nervously.

However, compared to the assistant's shock, the identified murderer was calm.

"I saved people."

The younger brother and the housekeeper sitting on both sides of him showed pained expressions.

If Honma Division is the murderer, then they are all accomplices.

Benma really noticed his brother's abnormality early on, and it was not difficult to discover his father's plan. Compared with his brother who was too simple to accompany music all the year round, he could figure out the whole thing very quickly, and guessed that his brother wanted to prevent his father from killing him. Ayako would definitely do something, but he didn't stop it.

The butler found out a little earlier, he discovered the master's plan before everyone else, but he couldn't stop it until the young master was ready to do it.

The means that were going to be used to falsify the truth about Ayako's death were used against the deputy mayor himself.

First, the drug that made him lose his senses, and then the poison he was going to use on Ayako.

And the steward, as planned, steers things toward a curse.

They were not villains with extremely high psychological quality. The moment they committed a crime, they were already entangled in sin.

The prisoner would leave the detective behind, provocatively and perhaps with an undetected plea for help.

Expose the truth for the self who has no courage to admit the crime, make the crime public, and then crawl out of the mud covered in filth to atone for the crime.

Edogawa Ranpo revealed the truth one by one in front of everyone.

As Sherlock Holmes famously said, eliminate the impossible and whatever remains, however unbelievable, is the truth.

When the police car arrived, the three dejected men were taken away.

Kyanoyan's lips moved as they passed by.

Honma and the housekeeper opened their eyes wide, their lips trembling, unable to utter a sound.

Honma just mumbled "Guardian" with cloudy eyes.

It wasn't until the police carried down another corpse covered with a white cloth from upstairs that all the people working in this house really realized that the master who hired them was a murderer.

The two assistants had the same confusion on their faces. They have been with the two young masters for a long time, and they have never felt that the people who are always by their side are so strange.

If you can't trust the people you've known for so long, what else can you trust?

They just felt that their bodies were extremely cold, and they hugged themselves hard, shivering uncontrollably.It seems that this will warm up the body.

In the chaos, Edogawa turned around and walked to the right, walked through the corridor, opened the inconspicuous door in the corner, and the garage of the villa was outside.

Go through the garage and there is a door directly opposite.

He walked over briskly, the door was unlocked and he could easily enter.

This is a room for drivers and bodyguards. He stood at the door for a while, went to the cabinet, looked around, and looked at the bed on the other side.

"So that's it, that's how it is... Unfortunately, the other party was one step faster, and even Ayako Honma, the only one who might have a clue, has been killed." And this is really not what the other party expected in?

"Random? What are you doing?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

The confused step of thinking was startled by the voice behind him, he opened his eyes slightly, and turned to look at the person leaning against the door.

"Ayan..."

Jing Yeyan smiled, walked to him, leaned over his shoulder, and asked curiously, "Did you find anything interesting?"

At that moment, Edogawa Ranpo didn't know what he was thinking, but he moved his body to block the opponent's sight.

"Eh—? What kind of baby?"

The other party's protracted voice sounded a little sweet, and he smiled warmly as he stood in front of him.

Edogawa Luanbu paused for a moment before pushing the man out, "Okay, let's go, let's go, lunch is ruined like this, the famous detective is going to starve to death!"

Jing Yeyan thought for a while and said, "If you put it that way, I'm also...so hungry."
