"Mr. Takahashi, are you really fat?"

The sound is not loud, but everyone can hear it very clearly, of course, including Ryoichi Takahashi, who is the person involved.

Oda Katsu, Suzuki Ayako, Koran, Yuanko, and Kakutani Hiroki all looked at Takahashi with surprise eyes. Okata's problem was very strange, but he successfully concentrated everyone's observation on Takahashi Ryoichi.

Okata looked at Takahashi Ryoichi, a sharpness in his eyes.

"...You also see that my figure is here. Because I work in a food company, my figure is not as good as that in a university club." Takahashi Ryoichi's defense was a little powerless. When he faced the scrutiny of everyone, he finally couldn't support the confidence that could deceive everyone.

Okabaya said slowly: "I remember before dinner last year, Miss Ayako said that as a prop teacher, you were good at repairing things, so the smoke exhaust function of the villa in the smoke pile was broken, and it was repaired by you. In this case, you can complete what I said above, try to reach the chimney from the second floor guest room and set the next killing method. As for the question of whether you are fat or not, as long as you are not a fool, you know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Ryoichi's expression changed because Ogata's words hit his weakness.

In the sudden change of atmosphere, Okata still faded like a bystander, continuing his own inference: "We already know how the murderer got to the living room on the first floor. Then the rest is how the deceased Ikeda Takako was cruelly killed by the murderer!"

"The deceased is in the same room as Miss Ayako, so in order to avoid a third person present, the only way is to let the deceased take the initiative to walk out of the room on the first floor. What I mentioned before is that the deceased remained nervous and excited at the moment of death is the source of the entire case."

Yuanzi couldn't wait to ask, "What is it?"

"She herself knew very well that the bandage monster could cause danger to anyone in the villa, but she insisted on leaving the room, which was obviously very attractive. It might be a secret that only involved the murderer and she knew."

"But... Mr. Forensic, we obviously found Chikako's head in the woods outside the suburbs." Hiroki Kakutani asked the other question that was put in his stomach.

Okata looked at Takahashi Ryoichi and explained: "We can notice that the lower body was wearing slippers, so her movement distance was limited to the villa, which is an unchangeable fact. The head did not have feet and it would not run, so the person with action was the murderer..."

"I'll sort out the inferenced incident process. The deceased got the murderer's notice and agreed to meet in the living room after two o'clock and return what she wanted to get to her. But how did it happen? The murderer can avoid disturbing Xiaolan and the others who live on the first floor?"

Okabaya walked to the front of the fireplace and gently patted the surface: "The method is actually very simple. I found a part of the flesh and blood tight in the incision of the deceased's neck. After receiving the notification from the murderer, the deceased was not as simple as meeting someone in the living room...but the murderer told her that what she wanted was in the fireplace, she needed to confirm by herself. So the usual way of doing this is to lie on the ground and tentatively put her head into the fireplace..."

Everyone widened their eyes and felt that some kind of picture was created in front of them.

"Ikeda Tsukako is an image-oriented person, but the attractiveness of such things is enough to make her do such actions. The murderer took advantage of this mentality and could achieve foolproof killing methods. When Ikeda Tsukako stuck her head in, her nerves and blood were kept in a highly sensitive state..."

"She looked up and looked up! She didn't see what she wanted!"

"It's a blade and a pair of fierce eyes. The murderer used the distance between the second floor guest room and the chimney, and lurked directly above the fireplace interface with the rope tied to his body. He was waiting, waiting for the dead to come to his door!"

"Just the moment Ikeda Tsukako's brain received the visual information, the murderer slashed her neck with a blade in the narrow space. On the inside of the fireplace, there should be blood from the dead, and there was no time to wipe it. The murderer used a lot of effort and almost completely fell between the flesh and blood, causing fatal injuries, which made Ikeda Tsukako die before she could make a sound."

"And another reason for choosing a fireplace is that once a deviation occurs, even if the deceased makes a sound, the structure of the fireplace will minimize the frequency of the sound."

Okata continued: "These processes are not simply reasoning. The cutting from the erectile neck and the location of the body we found are all based on this technique."

Everyone in the living room was listening carefully, not wanting to interrupt the exciting place.

"The murderer cut off the dead man's head directly because he wanted to set the next method. First, he dealt with the main corpse. He tied the body with another rope he carried with him, and then returned to the top of the chimney. After calculating the distance, he hung it up, just so that others could not see what was hidden inside through the entrance of the fireplace."

Okabaya suddenly smiled and said, "Look at what the rope is that tied up the body?"

Um?

Subconsciously looked at the rope Okata pointed to.

"This...this is..." The girls like Ayako Suzuki looked in frightened, and they couldn't help but think of it in their minds.

The rope that tied the corpse was actually a very long bandage...

"Bandage monster." Okabaya answered everyone's doubts: "From the beginning, the function of bandages exists as part of the entire crime method, in addition to creating fear."

Oda Katsugu swallowed his saliva and asked, "But we clearly saw the bandage monster appearing in front of the window last night."

"So I'm even more sure that this is the prop artist's trick... Just use cigarettes, candles, or ice, plus a piano thread, and a dummy with bandages wrapped around the face, you can do it."

Okara exposes Takahashi Ryoichi step by step, and the latter looks at him with resentful eyes.
