Chapter 42 4. Holes in the wall

At the same time, next to the room with the red curtains, three people huddled awkwardly in the darkness without lights, peeping through the hole in the wall. I don't know who chiseled it. There is a round hole about an inch in the wall. Put your eyes up to it, and you can see the scene in the next room clearly. In front of the cave was the curtain that Taeko had lifted just now.Therefore, the three people at the entrance of the cave could clearly see Taeko's every move and expression as she opened the curtain from the outside and ran away screaming. "Mr. Akechi, why did Taeko run away screaming?"

After seeing Taeko disappear for a while, one of the three asked softly, looking away from the hole in the wall. "Have you seen her expression?" The black shadow called wise asked. "Well. I've never seen my sister so scared, almost like a stranger." Since Taeko is called a younger sister, this person must be one of the brothers of the Tamamura family. "In a person's life, only on extremely rare occasions will he have that expression. Do you understand the meaning behind it?" Wisely asked. "It's an expression of extreme fear. I can't help trembling when I think of people's expressions that can faithfully express the deepest fear in their hearts."

It was another voice that sounded like Ichiro Tamura's.From this, it can be speculated that it was probably the younger brother Erlang who spoke first.Having said that, why on earth did they sneak into this empty house and spy on Taeko's every move through the hole in the wall? "But what did my sister see, so out of control? I really can't understand." Ichiro said. Judging from this, due to the location of the entrance of the cave, the two obviously did not see the woman who lifted the curtain like Taeko. "The murderer. She saw the real murderer who killed your father."

"Hey, what did you say? The real murderer is next door? But looking from this side, there's no one there." Erlang looked suspicious. "Is the murderer really behind this wall? Then why hesitate, if you don't arrest him quickly..." Ichiro blamed. "I didn't hesitate. The Poyue police department should have caught the murderer by this time." Ah, with such a reminder, Bo Yue and Akechi exchanged a few words in a low voice and then disappeared.It turned out that he was going to catch the murderer, but... "Even so, it's too strange. The murderer isn't next door? But under our surveillance, the room is always empty. Not to mention the murderer, even Boyue Police Department has never entered the room." Erlang stared at the hole and whispered.

"Empty? Well, yes, there is indeed no one in it." The sensible answer is simply confusing. "Didn't you just say that my sister saw the murderer with her own eyes?" "Miss Taeko did see the murderer, but it's a pity that the murderer wasn't hiding in that compartment." Taeko saw the murderer, but the murderer was not in the cubicle.Logically, this is completely untenable.It’s not a riddle, what exactly does Zhizhi want to express? "Hahaha, it's human nature for you to be confused. Let's go, take a look in that compartment, and the mystery will be solved immediately."

Zhizhi laughed out loud, and the two couldn't help being surprised.What if the murderer heard it? Then, Akechi walked towards the corridor first.Although Ichiro and Erlang were confused about the situation, they followed immediately.After going around in a circle, they came to the compartment where they peeped through the hole just now. Following Taeko's previous actions, the three gently lifted the crimson curtain from the outside. "Come on, go in and have a look!" Under wise urging, Erlang stepped into the compartment first. At the same time, another curtain hanging at the end of the compartment was also pulled open, and a man in a suit appeared in front of him.Erlang and the man looked at each other, stunned on the spot.

He laughed a few times embarrassedly. "Hahaha, what, it turned out to be a mirror." A floor-to-ceiling mirror hung on the front wall of the cubicle.Whether it is the curtain or the person appearing on the mirror, it only reflects the image on this side.Therefore, the man was actually Erlang himself. Ah, now I finally understand.It was because of this mirror that Shicai Taeko was so terrified.She was frightened by her own shadow and fled. So, where is the murderer? "I remember you said that Taeko was frightened when she saw the murderer..." Ichiro turned pale and looked at Akechi.

"yes." "Where did the murderer go?" "It didn't go anywhere. The murderer wasn't here in the first place." "So……" Ichiro and Erlang vaguely understood the meaning of Zhizhi's words.But it was too unbelievable to say. "With the help of this mirror, Ms. Taeko sees the horrific figure of a real murderer." In the end, it was Zhizhi who spoke out. "Ah, so...could it be, could it be..." Ichiro couldn't help shouting. "Are you accusing your sister of killing your biological father?" Erlang asked aggressively.

"Didn't you let the two of you see the evidence just now?" Zhizhi retorted calmly, "Ms. Taeko was startled when she saw the figure in the mirror, and then she laughed like Erlang, because she realized that it was just a mirror. , but her smile was fleeting, and she changed into a horrified horror expression, and she let out a scalp-numbing scream from her mouth. Who in the world would be so frightened when seeing his image in the mirror? She was so keen that she realized in an instant that she had fallen into my trap, and understood that when I said the murderer was behind the curtain, I was referring to the shadow in the mirror."

At this moment, the expressions of the two brothers were as frightened as that of the younger sister.Indeed, if Taeko is not the real murderer, there is really no need to be so alarmed.However, it is unimaginable for a daughter to kill her biological father. "What's the motive? Taeko has no reason to kill her father!" Erlang cried out unconsciously. "The motive is very simple." Akechi didn't show any panic, "Because Taeko is not the younger sister of the two, let alone Mr. Zentaro's daughter." The wise tone is calm, but the content is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.These words were too unexpected, Ichiro and Erlang were stunned by these words, and were immediately speechless.

It is impossible for the dignified and wise Kogoro to talk nonsense, whether it is Taeko's out-of-control expression just now, or the wise conclusion, it seems that it is not a lie. "Whose daughter is Taeko? Why is she in our house? I watched Taeko grow up!" Ichiro argued vigorously. "Don't be surprised, you two. In fact, Taeko is the biological daughter of the strange thief Okumura Genzo." "Huh? This is simply ridiculous..." "Well, it's natural for the two of you to be skeptical, but after my investigation, this is an unchangeable fact. The baby was dropped in the hospital shortly after it was born. Genzo Okumura bought the nurse, and the baby who was born at the same time by accident Daughter, swap with the two younger sisters without any trace." "Hey, hey, so... Could it be that the villain's daughter named Wen Dai..." "That's right, Miss Wen Dai is your blood sister. I have a real witness, the nurse at that time is still alive." "But why did Yuanzao do such an inhumane thing? I can't understand." Erlang interjected. "Of course it is out of vicious revenge. He tried to use this method to let his daughter grow up in Yucun's parents. After she is sensible, he will find an opportunity to come to recognize her and ask her to help revenge. Isn't this the most ruthless conspiracy? ?Miss Taeko, who you regard as your own sister and loves you, is the beautiful avenging messenger of the avenging devil. The daughter is regarded as a member of the enemy's family. For the devil, there is nothing better than this." After being wisely explained, Ichiro and Erlang gradually remembered some doubts.Because they believed that Taeko was their real sister, they never suspected anything.But thinking about it one by one now, Taeko's actions have always been suspicious. Wisely continued: "If Taeko is the devil's daughter, wouldn't the riddles that could not be solved before be solved immediately? Obviously the murderer has been hiding in the house for a long time. No matter how secure the doors and windows are locked and how closely the surveillance is, if the murderer is a member of the family, there is no way to guard against it .” "I understand, please let us meet Taeko, I want to hear her confession. Taeko should have been arrested by the Boyue Police Department, right?" Erlang interrupted Akechi anxiously. "Yes, the two are staying in the room on the other side at the moment. In addition, I also found an accomplice that you didn't expect, and the old nurse just mentioned." Akechi said, and walked towards where the murderer was.
