Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Yuya nodded in agreement, which was exactly the same as his initial speculation.

Mao Lilan suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, Officer Sanzhi Mamoru seemed to be out for some reason?"

At that time, they only saw Sanzhishou hurried out and didn't know where he went.

Yuya had a guess: "I think it was the murderer who called him out."

As for how to call it out, you can give as many reasons as you want, such as if they don’t come, they will expose X’s members.

Hearing the murderer, Maori Kogoro asked anxiously: "So who is the murderer?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "The identity of the murderer is actually very simple. He is one of the members of the Takeda Group, the patrol chief Akiyama Shinsuke who has been killed in the eyes of outsiders!"

"Huh?" Miyano Shiho and the Mori father and daughter all cried out in surprise.

"How is that possible?!" Mao Lilan retorted subconsciously, "Didn't they say that Officer Akiyama was pulled off the cliff by a car and died? Even his head and body were pulled apart by the rope..."

This is what she heard from Uehara Yui.

Yuya said calmly: "But in fact, we didn't see his body with our own eyes, right? Until now, the body with its head and body separated is still hanging on the branch on the edge of the cliff."

Mao Lilan was speechless. Indeed, as long as she hadn't seen the body with her own eyes, anything was possible.

Yuya continued, "Officer Akiyama's family runs a beauty salon. I think he took the opportunity to go home and change clothes to bring out the human brain model used to practice hair cutting in the beauty salon, and then changed his hairstyle to the same as his own."

"Then, as he falls off the cliff, he throws the fake head and the blood plasma out of the hood of his hoodie."

Mao Lilan was still a little confused: "But didn't Officer Yui say that Officer Akiyama's neck was tied to the rope on the car? How was it untied?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "It's very simple, just pull the rope at the back to cross it around your neck and grab it with your hands. Then just let go and the rope will untie itself naturally."

"All you need to do is hang the headless body, which has been dressed in the same clothes as you, on the tree, and then tie a safety rope around your waist and hang it under the branch. What we see on the cliff is naturally a headless body with its body parts separated."

Maori Kogoro was shocked: "You mean a headless body? Could it be..."

"Yes and no. The headless body under the cliff, I think it should be the wanted criminal, right?"

Mao Lilan was a little confused: "Whose charred body is that under the bridge?"

Yuya said: "I originally guessed that it should be the wanted criminal. As for the toes, we just need to cut off the toes from Officer Shikano's body and replace them."

"But considering that if the body on the cliff is moved away and a toe is found missing during the funeral, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. So I am more inclined to believe that the charred corpse is Officer Shikano himself, and the body on the cliff is that of the wanted criminal."

"As for the wanted criminal's head, it should be in the crashed car, right? As long as only the bones are left, people will naturally think it is Officer Akiyama's head."

"In this way, as long as he is not caught, he can change his identity and continue living somewhere else."

Mao Lilan asked again: "What about the text message that Officer Akiyama handed over? Officer Yui said it was sent by Inspector Yamato."

Yuya explained, "That was just a trick by Officer Akiyama. He sent the text message using Officer Takeda's hidden phone, and then deliberately blacklisted Inspector Yamato's number so that others would mistakenly think that he did it to prevent his phone from being discovered by Inspector Yamato."

"So that's how it is." Maori and his daughter nodded in sudden realization.

Miyano Shiho asked tentatively: "Officer Akiyama did so much, could it be that he wanted to frame the crime of murder on Inspector Yamato?"

Yuya nodded. "Yes, it's not just these. He was also the one who detected Inspector Yamato's fingerprints from the rope that hung Officer Shikano from the ceiling."

Yuya borrowed two hair-tying rubber bands from Miyano Shiho, passed one through the other to make two circles, and then said: "Initially, Officer Shikano was hung up like this, and what Inspector Yamato touched was the part of the rope above. After putting the body down, we just need to swap the two remaining ropes..."

As Youya spoke, he moved his fingers slightly and the two rubber bands switched positions, but the circle they made remained the same as before.

"In this way, the part that Inspector Yamato touched became the part that strangled Officer Shikano's neck."

The two girls immediately exclaimed in amazement.

"Also, when we saw Inspector Yamato and Inspector Moribushi quarreling, he was the one who instigated it."

"You know, with their awkward personalities, if they were described as close friends, they would start to say mean things to each other, and maybe even start a fight."

"If Inspector Yamato hadn't acted alone, his plan to frame someone would not have been possible."

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but say, "But before that, wasn't the atmosphere between them already tense? Even if there was no provocation, they would have quarreled sooner or later, right?"

Youya smiled faintly: "This is actually just a show for the murderer. They probably want to see the murderer's next plan, right?"

"The murderer's attempt to frame someone was exposed when someone similar to Inspector Yamato was spotted near the bridge at the crime scene this morning."

"That so-called Inspector Yamato is probably Inspector Akiyama impersonating him. He only needs to change into similar clothes and walk with a cane to fool passersby into thinking he is Inspector Yamato."

Mao Lilan said with some concern: "But if Inspector Yamato acts alone, no one will be able to help him prove his alibi. Isn't this exactly what the murderer wants?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "When I was riding in Inspector Morobushi's car, I found that he put the spare tire on the back seat..."

Maori Kogoro was shocked: "Could it be that Inspector Yamato has been hiding in the trunk of the car?!"

Yuya nodded: "That's right, and Inspector Morobushi's car is equipped with a dashcam. As long as he was in the trunk the whole time, the footage from the dashcam can serve as proof of his alibi."

"Wait a minute," Miyano Shiho suddenly thought of something, "Wasn't Inspector Morifushi's car borrowed by Officer Saegusamo?"

"If all this is Officer Akiyama's conspiracy, then won't he be in danger?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "Of course not, all of this is part of the plan of Inspector Yamato and Inspector Morobushi."

"If my guess is correct, the murderer should have guessed where Inspector Yamato is."

"But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Who is the mantis and who is the oriole..."

“It’s still unknown.”
