Chapter 465 The place where the body is hidden

"Miss Meimei."

Shinichi looked at Shou Meimei and couldn't help but said:

"You also started participating in various beauty pageants very early. Although you did not win directly like Miss Hualian, you still achieved good results. But later, after your sister Miss Hualian became a blockbuster, you never I haven’t participated in any beauty pageants.”

As he spoke, Shinichi said with some emotion:

"Obviously you have a beautiful appearance, but as Miss Hualien's sister, when you are with Miss Hualian, your beauty is always ignored by others, and gradually, you are no longer confident in your own beauty - like this You are more like the little girl mentioned in Mr. Amano’s story.”

Hearing this, Officer Memu couldn't help but nodded, but still said in confusion:

"But Kudo, even so, what does this have to do with Miss Hualien's murder?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Shinichi couldn't help but said:

"Miss Hualian is not such a weak person. For her, if someone writes a threatening letter to her, will she just sit back and wait for death?"

"What?"

Officer Megure was shocked when he heard this.

"Ms. Hualian was called into the room by Mr. Miura after the wedding dress review was over."

"Well, we all know this."

Officer Megure said:

"But what does that mean?"

"Miss Hualien is very aware of what Mr. Miura is doing, so at that time, she would agree to Mr. Miura's request to go to his room. Don't you think it's strange?"

Shinichi explained.

"Why?"

Officer Megure said unexpectedly.

"She agreed to Mr. Miura at that time, probably to test him to see if he was the one who sent the threatening letter."

Shinichi explained:

"Just like Mr. Akechi feels, judging from the content of the threatening letter, Miss Hualien's first thought is that the suspect who sent the threatening letter should be Mr. Miura."

"However, I did not send anything like that. Moreover, after I was disappointed, she left directly! Everything I said is true!"

Seeing that the topic was brought to him again, Miura Daigo hurriedly distanced himself.

"Yes, what Mr. Miura said should be true."

Shinichi continued.

In response, Miura Daigo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Because at that time Miss Hualien should have known that Mr. Miura was not the prisoner who sent the threatening letter."

Shinichi said:

"So after that, Miss Hualien returned to the lounge upstairs after coming out of Mr. Miura's room."

As he said this, Xinji paused deliberately before continuing:

"However, one thing is very strange. Through the monitoring of the hotel elevator, we can find that after going to the lounge to change clothes, Miss Hualian came directly to this floor. And that time was far from the next one There is still a lot of time for the opening performance, why does Miss Hualian come here so early?”

"Is it possible that she is still looking for the murderer who sent the threatening letter?"

Officer Megure followed Shinichi's train of thought and couldn't help but put forward a point of view.

"Yes, this is the most likely point."

Shinichi said:

"At that time, she might have gone to see Mr. Amano, or she might just be waiting in the elevator room, waiting for the suspect to show up... In short, Miss Hualian should have finally realized the mystery of the threatening letter and knew what she really wanted. Who was the person who threatened me, so when that person also appeared here, the two had a dispute, and finally the person accidentally killed Miss Hualian. "

"After all that, you just want to say that I was the one who sent the threatening letter, and I was also the one who killed my sister, right?"

Hearing this, Shou Meimei said impatiently, and then began to question loudly:

"But, what you said is just your speculation. Do you have any evidence to prove this? Moreover, according to you, Hualian had already died in this elevator room when we were looking for her, right? Right? But when we came here to look for the missing Hualian, we didn’t see her anywhere!”

"Yes, Kudo, you and Miss Meimei came here to find Hualien at about 8:45, right? You once told me that Miss Hualien was nowhere to be seen here, right? "

Officer Megure couldn't help but look at Shinichi in surprise and asked.

"That's because when we came here to search, Miss Hualian's body had been in this room, but it was hidden and out of sight."

"Hidden? But there is no place to hide an adult in this elevator room?"

Officer Megure looked around the empty elevator room and couldn't help but ask.

"Although I didn't notice anything was wrong at the time, I understood it later when I found something behind the pillar."

Shinichi said as he walked to the pillar of the elevator room.

"But Kudo, this and Zhuzhu... it's still too far-fetched to completely hide the body of an adult, right?"

Officer Memu looked at the pillars and couldn't help but said:

"Even if there really is someone hiding somewhere, as long as you change the angle slightly, you can see the person behind the pillar, right?"

“It’s easy to find someone hiding something, but it’s easy to ignore something else.”

Shinichi said, walking to the wall where there was only a painting used as a stage background prop.

And there, there were many paint cans scattered on the ground. Next to the paint cans are three 40-centimeter-square cardboard boxes with the paint brand logo printed on them. They appear to be boxes for placing the paint cans.

"The murderer took the paint out of the carton and placed it behind this pillar, so that the carton was emptied..."

Shinichi said, pointing to the three cardboard boxes placed neatly on the ground.

"What exactly is going on?"

Officer Megure asked with a confused look on his face.

"At that time, Miss Meimei temporarily hid the body in these cardboard boxes."

Shinichi explained.

"Hey! Such a small cardboard box can't hold Miss Hualian's body at all, right?"

Officer Memu frowned as he looked at these cardboard boxes.

"Yeah, I'm not a child. How can I put the body into such a small cardboard box?"

Meimei couldn't help but smile.

"There are three of these cardboard boxes."

Shinichi said.

"What?"

Hearing this, Meimei was suddenly startled.

"These cardboard boxes look very small at first glance, and no one would think that there would be a body hidden in them. But when I first saw these three cardboard boxes, they were placed in a 'convex' shape, and the middle cardboard box was slightly Protrude forward."

In this regard, Xinyi began to explain, and at the same time, he arranged the three cartons into the shape of the word "convex":

"Ms. Meimei cut the adjacent sides of the cardboard box, folded it inward, and then placed Hualien's body in a 'く' shape and hid it inside the box. Rigor mortis will not occur until an hour after death at the earliest. appeared, so it was still easy to bend the body.”
