"Wait a minute, I'm sorry …" Scott interrupted. "There's one thing I don't understand …"
Miao Kun said. "Detective China, since the murderer had already knocked Miss Molly unconscious, why didn't he kill her in the secret room?
What's the difference between killing her outside and killing her in the secret room? Also, it seems like killing her in the secret room would be more discreet, right? "
Scott asked. Everyone nodded. Obviously, they had the same question.
However, after patiently waiting for Miao Kun to finish translating, Zhao Yu said something that did not answer his question.
"Because … The window of the study room was open!"
"…"
Not only was Scott confused, but the other detectives were also confused.
"I think the murderer must have thought so too!" Zhao Yu paused, then explained, "If he killed Miss Molly in the secret room, it would mean that the murder case was followed by the disappearance case.
"If Miss Molly was missing, then her subordinates would definitely try their best to find her. Because the camera recorded Miss Molly entering the study room, it was easy for people to find the secret room.
"In addition, the murderer had to worry that other people knew about the secret room and would soon find the secret room and Miss Molly's body.
So, instead of letting people look for Miss Molly all over the place, it would be better to let people see the murder case outside.
That's why the murderer opened the window of the study room and let people mistakenly think that Miss Molly went out from the window, so that everyone's attention would be diverted away from the secret room! "
"Why?" You Sufu guessed. "Is it because the secret room is very important to the murderer?"
"Wow …" Sisay's eyes widened. "According to what you're saying, the diamond might really be hidden in the secret room?"
"I think …" Zhao Yu said. "Maybe this is just one of the reasons why the murderer didn't want people to know about the secret room. Maybe there's another reason, which is to confuse people and prevent us from classifying the murder case as an accident!"
While Miao Kun was translating, everyone was slowly digesting Zhao Yu's meaning.
"He went through all the trouble, even changing his shoes to carry her out of the secret room, just to create a false impression," Zhao Yu said. "To make us think that there's something wrong with Miss Molly. She died in the garden in the middle of the night because she wanted to meet someone or had some conspiracy …"
"Makes sense, makes sense!" Tanzhao Ichiro said in admiration. "When we first saw the crime scene, we really thought the case was complicated!"
"That's true. The reference point for making this judgment is actually the image before Miss Jasmine entered the study!" Juliet nodded and said, "And we really neglected this point!"
"There were only Miss Jasmine's footprints in the secret passage … This means that the murderer did not enter Green's study through the secret passage!" Scott asked again, "Then how did the murderer get in?"
"There is a surveillance camera at the door of the study, and the lock of the secret passage can only be opened from the inside …" Zhao Yu answered without hesitation. "So, there is only one place where the murderer can safely enter the study, and that is …"
"The window!" A few detectives answered in unison.
"I've seen it before," Tanizhao Ichiro said. "The window in the study is an old-fashioned latch. If you use barbs or magnets, you can easily open it from the outside!"
"Okay, are you done?" Li Bencheng said impatiently. "Well, I believe that your reasoning may be correct. But … "He turned to Zhao Yu and asked," You still can't be sure that the murderer is Xi Wei's daughter! "
"Humph … Whether or not it's Xi Wei's daughter, it's hard to say!" Zhao Yu muttered.
"Well …" Miao Kun looked at Xi Mengna carefully and whispered, "I've seen it before … It's almost the same …"
"China detective …" Sevanbak urged. "Didn't you just say that you have evidence to prove that Miss Jasmine is the murderer? Where's the evidence? Why don't you take it out? "
"Hehe …" Zhao Yu said slowly, as if he was deliberately controlling the rhythm of the conversation. "You must want to know … Where did the murderer hide the murder weapon that killed Miss Jasmine?"
Suddenly hearing the mention of the murder weapon, everyone suddenly became alert and focused their attention on Zhao Yu.
"Of course!" Sevanbak pouted. "Do you know where the murder weapon is hidden?"
"Of course I don't!" Zhao Yu spread his hands and looked helpless. "After the murder, we were all together. How could we have the time to look for the murder weapon?"
"You're a funny man …" Yusuf frowned. "Since you don't know where the murder weapon is, what use do you think it is?"
"I didn't see a paper knife in the pen holder in Green's study. But … "Zhao Yu deliberately changed the topic." I can't guarantee that the murder weapon is a paper knife. It could also be a tool knife that the murderer carried with him. Or, it could be a knife that the murderer found in the secret room. "
"Or, it could be the utensils that were stolen during lunch! Hehe … "Cesar laughed." After all, the murderer is a thief! "
"Everyone …" Zhao Yu finally raised his voice and said to everyone, "Now, let's use hypothetical reasoning. If you were the murderer, then after you killed someone, what would you do with the murder weapon?"
"The murder weapon often contains important information," Tanzhao Ichiro said. "So, it can't be left at the crime scene or near the crime scene.
"Since we have confirmed that the murderer killed to confuse the public, then it is even more impossible for him to leave the murder weapon in a place where we can easily find it!"
"But …" Jessica said. "There are many cameras on this island, so the murderer's range of activity is limited. He couldn't have put the murder weapon far away, right? "
"It's not a good idea to hide it in the castle," Juliet said. "There are many cameras in the castle. If we're not careful, we'll be exposed."
"If we guess," Tanzhao Ichiro said, "the murderer left the room through the protruding wall outside the window, so when he returned, he must have returned to his own room!
"Then, it's even more impossible for him to bring the murder weapon back to his room!" The Japanese author said. "Everyone knows that after the crime, there will be people who will search every suspect's room. That is the stupidest thing to do."
"Yes, there are cameras in the corridor outside the room!" Yusuf said. "As long as he returns to his room, he can't hide the murder weapon anywhere else!
So, the murderer must have hidden the murder weapon on his way back to his room after killing someone!
"And the small garden is less than 100 meters away from our room. If he really hid the murder weapon in such a place, how could we not find it?"
"In this area, as long as the camera doesn't cover it, we have conducted a carpet search," Lieutenant Chant replied. "But, we found nothing!"
"Could it be that he dug a hole to hide it?" Cicay asked.
"The murder weapon is metal," Chant replied. "We used a metal detector, but we didn't find anything!"
"It's right that you didn't find it!" Zhao Yu said before Miao Kun could translate for him. "You won't be able to find it there!"
"Are you trying to say …" Li Bencheng sneered. "The murder weapon isn't metal?"
