The fake wine life from scratch

The sky is getting brighter and the snow is getting lighter.

During breakfast, everyone was in a low mood. They couldn't find out who the murderer was, and it was inevitable that people would be panic-stricken. No one could be sure if they would be the next one to have an accident.

Everyone finished the food in silence, and hurried back to their respective rooms without even staying in the living room.

Toru Amuro proposed four people to a room. He made the floor with Heiji and slept with Ye and Xiaoqianqiu.

Toru Amuro was out of safety considerations, and Xiao Qianqiu also felt that a dead body was very intrusive as soon as he opened the door.And the other person in that room also died in the grove, as if he was cursed.

So she nodded, and the other two had no objections.

Xiao Qianqiu and He Ye returned to the room, and simply packed their luggage.There were two unopened bottles of mineral water in the room like a hotel, and Xiao Qianqiu wanted to check the production date, but she couldn't hold it steady, and the mineral water bottle fell to the ground and rolled all the way to the corner.When she bent down to pick up the bottle, she suddenly found a box of pills next to it.

Looking at the packaging, it seems to be motion sickness medicine.

Xiao Qianqiu took out one of the pills and asked, "He Ye, is this your medicine?"

He Ye took a look and shook his head: "No, I don't get carsick."

"Is it."

Xiao Qianqiu put the pill back into the medicine bottle.

The two packed their luggage and came to Amuro Toru and Heiji's room.They are pondering leads in two cases.

"Yu Asai died between 45:09 and 30:26 yesterday morning. The cause of death was a gunshot wound. The three people did not have an alibi. Mr. Masakazu Furuta, Mr. Natsuhiko Kusama, and Ms. Takeuchi Shoko. Among them, Ms. Takeuchi Shoko at [-]:[-] last night Killed in the grove between [-] and [-] o'clock, the cause of death was suffocation, the murderer left [-] yards of footprints in the snow."

Heiji concluded: "The most suspicious ones are indeed Mr. Furuta and Mr. Kusama."

Amuro frowned slightly: "But there are two things I can't figure out. How did the prisoner get rid of the smell of gunpowder on his hands after shooting Asai Yuu. And the footprints..."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, He Ye tilted his head and asked, "What happened to the footprints?"

"It's too obvious."

Heiji understood what Toru Amuro meant, and he pondered: "Indeed, it is common knowledge that ordinary people will leave footprints as evidence when committing crimes in snowy weather. It is impossible for Mr. Furuta and Mr. Kusama, as reasoning enthusiasts, to not have noticed. this point."

He Ye speculated: "Is it possible that I was too nervous about killing someone so I forgot?"

After being told by Heye, Xiao Qianqiu suddenly remembered something: "When I went downstairs to find Heye and Ms. Takeuchi last night, I heard Ms. Hanami and Mr. Gutian arguing in the kitchen."

She told the other three what she heard.

Toru Amuro thought deeply and asked, "What time was that?"

Xiao Qianqiu thought for a while: "I came together and found that Heye and Ms. Takeuchi were not there, so I went to find someone. When I woke up, I took a look at the time. It was ten thirty-five. From waking up to hearing them arguing in the kitchen, it should be No more than 35 minutes."

He Ye said, "It didn't snow at that time, did it?"

Xiao Qianqiu nodded: "After that, Mr. Gutian joined us in looking for Kazuha and Miss Takeuchi in the villa, and we found Miss Takeuchi's body in the grove. During this period, he didn't leave the villa. Others should be fine too. Testify for him."

Heiji raised his eyebrows: "In other words, if Mr. Gutian has been staying in the villa since the snow fell, it is impossible to leave footprints in the snow."

"So, the culprit is—"

Before the words fell, a scream came from the next room.

The four quickly got up and rushed to the next room.

The door was locked, Toru Amuro slammed on the door vigorously, and Heiji was about to gather his strength to knock the door open when the door opened.

Jishan Yujia sobbed and opened the doorknob. She was wrapped in a bath towel, and her hair was still wet. It looked like she hadn't dried it after taking a shower.

Toru Amuro looked into the room, and Natsuhiko Kusama died on the bed.

A dagger was stuck in his forehead, and his eyes widened in horror, as if he saw something unbelievable.

On his hand was written an Arabic numeral, 3, in blood.

Others rushed over when they heard the movement.

Ji Shan Youjia couldn't help crying, Amuro asked her what was going on, she cried and said: "Just now when I was taking a shower in the bathroom, I vaguely heard Xia Yan's voice, I thought it was someone coming, so I asked who he was, However, he didn't answer me. I sensed something was wrong, so I turned off the shower head, and when I came out, I saw Xia Yan's body on the bed."

Amuro asked, "Did you hear what Mr. Kusama said?"

Ji Shanyoujia recalled: "It seems to be... similar, how could it be you, in this way. The sound of the water is very loud, and I can't hear it very clearly."

Pingci walked to the window, the window was open, and the cold wind came in gusts.He walked to the door again, "Miss Ji Shan, the door was locked before you opened it, right?"

Ji Shan Youjia wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, for the sake of safety, we locked the door behind us as soon as we got back to the room."

Toru Amuro continued to ask, "How long did it take from when you heard the voice to when you turned off the water and came out of the bathroom to see Mr. Kusama?"

"Less than 1 minutes."

Heiji analyzed: "The door is locked, the prisoner can only escape through the window, but the snow outside has no traces, and it is impossible for him to eliminate the traces in less than a minute."

Ji Shan Youjia heard the subtext in his words, sad and angry: "What do you mean? Do you think I will kill my boyfriend?"

Pingji quickly waved his hand: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean that."

Hanami Yayoi moved closer to the corpse: "What does this dying message mean?"

Masakazu Gutian stared at the number 3 written in blood, and a look of extreme fear suddenly appeared on his face. Although he quickly returned to normal, Toru Amuro still caught his strangeness.

The cases happened one after another, and everyone stayed up all night, with dark circles under their eyes.

People gathered in the living room.

Xiao Qianqiu took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Amuro, would you like some coffee?"

Amuro smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

Heiji raised his hand: "Miss Qianqiu, I want it too!"

"no problem."

She boiled the water, poured coffee powder into the cup, and asked Heiji and Amuro: "Do you need sugar for your coffee?"

Toru Amuro said, "Add half a teaspoon."

Heiji scratched his head: "I don't need it."

Xiao Qianqiu couldn't find the spoon, so he could only tear open a small packet of sugar cubes, and poured the measured amount into the coffee by himself.

Amuro looked at the white particles that melted in the coffee, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I understand, so that's the thing."

Everyone else was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Amuro raised his head and looked at Furuta Masakazu who was sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Gutian, you must be the murderer."

Gu Tian's face changed, "Why do you say I'm a murderer? Is there any evidence?"

"The evidence is the row of footprints from the grove to the villa," Amuro said.

Gu Tian sneered and said, "Footprints? Even if my footprints are 42 yards, I stayed in the villa after the snow fell. How could those footprints be left by me?"

Amuro paused, "Because those footprints were left by you before the snow fell."

Furuta Masakazu's smile froze on his lips.

He Ye wondered: "Before it snows, won't it be covered by snow?"

Amuro picked up the unfinished bag of sugar cubes: "A little knowledge, not many people know it, but reasoning enthusiasts may have heard it. If you sprinkle salt on the footprints, and then it snows, it will fall on the footprints." The snow on it will melt."

Speaking of this, Heiji also came to a sudden: "So that's the case, so that we can fake the impression that the footprints were left after it snowed."

Cold sweat rolled down Gu Tian's face.

"But it's very strange. I have observed that the salt in the kitchen has not changed much from before. If you don't use the salt in the kitchen, where is there any salt?" He paused, raised the corners of his lips, "Just now I figured it out, there's salt in one of the things you carry around."

Yayoi Hanama clenched the amulet on her chest.

Toru Amuro continued: "That's right, they are amulets. Generally, amulets contain licorice, mugwort leaves, incense ash, and of course, salt that can drive away ghosts and evil spirits."

Gu Tian couldn't refute, he fell down on the ground with exhaustion: "Indeed, the footprints were faked by me."

Ji Shanyoujia glared at Gutian Masakazu, and asked him: "Why! Aren't you and Xia Yan good friends? Why did you kill him?"

Gu Tian suddenly stood up: "I didn't kill him, I'm not the murderer! I just used this method to cover up that I had left the villa that night!"

Hearing this, Toru Amuro was slightly taken aback, "Didn't you leave the villa to meet Miss Takeuchi?"

Gu Tian gritted his teeth: "Yes, but, when I arrived, I found that Takeuchi was dead. In order not to be suspected, I concealed it from me and Takeuchi at the same time..."

He didn't continue, Xiao Qianqiu said the word on his behalf: "Cheating."

He Ye asked in surprise, "Mr. Gutian and Miss Takeuchi?"

Yayoi Hanami couldn't bear to close her eyes: "They are old lovers. Before Shoko Takeuchi and Yuu Asai were together, her boyfriend was Masakazu. But that woman abandoned Masawa for money. After Yuu Asai died, that woman pretended Poor, let Zhenghe comfort her, and ask Zhenghe to meet in the grove at night."

Xiao Qianqiu looked at Hanami Yayoi: "You found out about their tryst, so you quarreled with Mr. Gutian in the kitchen, right?"

Hanami Yayoi bowed her head: "Yes."

Toru Amuro frowned: "But, if you are not the murderer, then who is the murderer..."

At this moment, the light in the living room was suddenly turned off.

It was pitch black all around.

Amuro's nose fluttered slightly, and he smelled a slightly sweet smell.He quickly realized something was wrong, and quickly covered his nose, "No, it's ether. So people, hold your breath!"

In the dark, he used his memory to find Xiao Qianqiu's location.

Xiao Qianqiu covered her mouth and nose, pressed the power button of the phone, and the faint light of the phone turned on.

With this light, she saw a man who should have died.
