Chapter 13 Section 6

"That's the thing." After telling this long story, Kusanagi stretched out on the chair, "Basically, it's consistent with your reasoning, so I've convinced you." "This reasoning is actually not difficult. As long as you connect the answers one by one, everyone will come to a conclusion." Tang Chuan took a sip of instant coffee expressionlessly. "How do you know that the person playing the ghost is an accomplice to the suspect?" "From another perspective, this is actually the simplest reasoning. The woman who should have been killed was witnessed in a completely different place, indicating that there must be some kind of trick. Why is this? It can only be to create Alibi proof of the suspect."

"But wouldn't that require female prisoners? It seems that there are no women around Xiaoshan, but you made such an inference without hesitation. What basis do you have?" "It's not that I didn't hesitate. It was because of my doubts that I went to Xiaoshan's room. There, I was sure that he had a close girlfriend." "Look at the room? I still don't understand what his completely unfeminine room will tell you." Tang Chuan smiled: "Sting." "Sting? What are you talking about?" "Turn the volume knob of the Kosugi stereo, and there will be noises. This phenomenon is called 'thrilling' in the professional terminology of audio manufacturers. It may be because the noise produced is 'thrilling'."

"Oh, if the stereo is old, the sound will become like that." "That's the problem. Xiaoshan's stereo is still very new, but why does it have this sound? In fact, the essence of 'lala' is a silicon compound. The combination of lubricating oil coated on the knob and silicon particles floating in the air is would produce something like this." "Okay, I know you have a lot of knowledge. What does this have to do with women?" "Some audio equipment manufacturers have obtained such wonderful data: the speakers placed in the Love Hotel will appear 'stinging' earlier than the normal speakers. Some excellent researchers have worked hard to investigate a reason. "Yu Chuan raised his index finger and said down, "It is the silicon particles contained in the hair spray used by women that have entered the interior of the speaker."

"Hairstyle spray..." Kusanagi remembered Yukawa's question, "So you asked me about Kosugi's hairstyle?" "You said he had a crew cut, so I knew he didn't need to wear it." Tang Chuan raised his coffee cup with a smile. "I see. It seems that the traces of women are also varied." "Some can be seen, and some can't be seen. By the way, how are those two poor prisoners now?" Hearing Yukawa's question, Kusanagi sighed. "I have nightmares every night, dreaming that the ghosts of the dead are chasing and killing me."

"Because ghosts are actually in their hearts." After Yu Chuan finished speaking, he opened the curtains with a "swish".
