v11 Chapter 37: Disappearing clogs

"A work with hundreds of millions of dollars? It's fake to say that you don't like it..."

When Asai Gongyi heard Lin Xiuyi suddenly say these words. A trace of anger and helplessness suddenly appeared in his heart. He wanted to say something, but unfortunately, the samurai sword in Morris's hand prevented Mr. Asai from expressing his true thoughts. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to With his angry eyes, he stared at Lin Xiuyi stubbornly.

"Oh... Then, Officer Lin, do you mean that you are willing to cooperate with us?"

Ms. Gu Ze pretended to be surprised and said, although she could not wait to tear Lin Xiu apart immediately.

"Cooperation? It's not impossible... However, we still don't know each other well, Ms. Guzawa! At least, I don't know how you are."

Lin Xiuyi asked Ms. Gu Ze cautiously, and at the same time he stopped the movement of his hands.

"It seems that you want to get some clues from me. Do you really think we are three-year-old children?"

Ms. Gu Ze was not fooled by Lin Xiuyi, she quickly chose to shut up. Although she was very confident in Morris killing Lin Xiuyi, as long as the painting had not been obtained, Ms. Gu Ze never dared to act rashly.

"A three-year-old child? You are probably too modest. How can someone who can remotely kill someone with a phone be a child? Of course, you didn't actually want to kill Mr. Kikuchi Takashi, either. I'm afraid your real purpose is to convince the innocent Kikuchi family that the work about "Love Letter" is cursed, so that they can dispose of this work at a low price!"

Lin Xiuyi's sudden remarks immediately surprised Ms. Gu Ze, and then she immediately felt a sense of fear, she didn't understand how Lin Xiuyi knew about this kind of thing. The case has successfully deceived the police in the form of an accident!

"Officer Lin, what are you saying just now, why can't I understand it?"

Ms. Gu Ze flatly denied it to Lin Xiu.

"Although all of this is my guess, I think the truth of the matter should not be too different. Among the three accidents related to the curse of "Love Letter", the only one that gave me a clue , the unfortunate accident of Mr. Kikuchi Takashi. Although I don't think your intention was to kill that man..."

Lin Xiuyi's words made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly become a little silent. He stretched out his hands, took a few steps down, and then stood in front of a painting on the stairs, imitating that scene back then.

"I think, Mr. Kikuchi, fell down the stairs in a position like this! A beautiful woman who claimed to be descended from a French noble fell in love with the son of a Japanese diplomat, and then the two became engaged. Whether it was sincere or something else, I have no way of knowing. But one thing intrigued me. Mr. Kikuchi was wearing a traditional outfit when he rolled down the stairs to his death. His small sleeves, and his feet are also covered with foot pockets for wearing clogs. However, there were only two ordinary slippers left at the scene, which really makes people feel very concerned..."

"Believe me, I have tried the combination of a foot bag and slippers, and I don't think this combination will make people feel comfortable. In fact, if the size of the slippers is right, then the foot with the foot bag is not normal to wear at all. Slippers. I always feel very uncomfortable when walking. Then the question arises, where are the clogs that the heirs of the Kikuchi family should be wearing? And who replaced the clogs that should have appeared on the scene with What about ordinary slippers?"

"Could it be that Ms. Guzawa, who pretended to be a descendant of a French noble, did it yourself? Of course not. You were abroad at the time, and it was impossible to replace the pair of clogs on the scene. So, someone must have done it for you. That. But that person didn't do it out of a desire to help you hide the crime, but to hide the problematic pair of clogs for other purposes."

"Because you were abroad at the time of the incident, the police quickly ruled out your suspicion. Perhaps out of fear, you hid abroad and refused to return to China under various excuses. After that, you changed yourself again. , so he returned to Japan with a new identity and continued to find ways to find the whereabouts of the painting."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's words, Ms. Gu Ze just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He had no interest at all in the non-existent assumptions made up by the reasoning policeman in front of her. But one thing is right, she did give Kikuchi Takashi a pair of clogs. And the purpose at that time was naturally to make Kikuchi Takashi really believe that the painting was cursed. However, she knew that she didn't have any accomplices to assist her. The policeman said that someone had changed the clogs into slippers, which was really ridiculous!

"The story is well told, Officer Lin! However, it's all just your idea! What kind of clogs, I don't even know!"

"Really? Ms. Guzawa, I think if you don't admit it, the arrow in Mr. Shibata's hand may be shot in your chest~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, I helped you take the arrow from the scene back then. It is Mr. Shibata who wears the double clogs, although he did this out of a desire to avenge Mr. Kikuchi, please come out, Mr. Shibata, what you want to investigate is now very clear..."

Lin Xiuyi suddenly shouted towards the empty room, which made Ms. Gu Ze and Mr. Morris terrified.

"I didn't expect it, Officer Lin, I didn't expect you to see through my plan long ago!"

As a somewhat old voice came from the dark, everyone present turned their eyes to the direction of the voice. While protecting Ms. Guzawa, Mr. Morris forced Mr. Asai to stand up with a knife and stood in front of him.

Lin Xiuyi looked at the stairs opposite him, a man with small sleeves raised his bow and slowly walked out of the dark corner. His arrow was always aimed at the two people standing downstairs. There was hatred in his eyes.

"Mr. Shibata, please don't be impulsive. The truth of Mr. Kikuchi's murder will soon be clear. I just hope you don't do anything irrational."

Lin Xiuyi hurriedly said something to persuade him.
