Chapter 1205: Just a Sleight of Hand
Wakasa Rumi subconsciously pointed at herself, nodded, and stepped forward: "What do you need me to do?"
Yuya walked over to the tree where the body was and said, "Just push the car over here."
Wakasa Rumi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at the 7-seater SUV, and said hesitantly: "This, is not possible? I don't have that much strength."
Yuya smiled faintly, "It doesn't take much strength. Just put your hands on the front wheel and turn it."
"Is it really possible?"
Wakasa Rumi was a little unsure, but she still walked to the front of the car as she was told, squatted down and turned the front wheel.
She first used a little strength and found that the wheel actually showed signs of moving, so she quickly increased her strength.
Just like that, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the car actually began to slowly move backwards.
The three little brats shouted excitedly, "Teacher Wakasa, you are so strong!"
"Why is this?" Kobayashi Sumiko was very confused. She didn't think Wakasa Rumi was really that strong.
Yuya explained, "Because a 7-seater SUV like this is usually four-wheel drive, all four wheels are connected to the vehicle's power system and are interconnected, so as long as you turn one wheel, the other three wheels will turn along with it."
"Almost all cars can be pushed without starting the engine, so that in the event of an accident where the car cannot be started, it can be moved to a safe location urgently. However, doing this frequently will damage the car's gearbox, so it is best not to use it unless it is necessary."
Yuya took the opportunity to share a little knowledge, and everyone suddenly realized that useless knowledge suddenly increased.
After Yuya finished speaking, the car stopped in front of him. Wakasa Rumi stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just like now, when we first arrived here to take pictures, the body was blocked by the car."
Ayumi shouted in surprise: "So, the tree behind the car in the photo is actually that tree?!" She raised her hand and pointed to a tree next to her.
Yuya nodded and smiled: "Yes, Ayumi is really smart."
Ayumi smiled sweetly.
Yuya continued, "The reason I discovered this is because of Ayumi."
Ayumi was stunned: "Me?"
Yuya smiled and said, "The four-leaf clover that Ayumi is looking for should be near the front wheel of the car, right? But you couldn't find it just now."
Ayumi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right." She lowered her head a little disappointedly, "Could it be that Ayumi saw it wrong?"
"Ayumi wasn't wrong. Why don't you go look for it now?"
Ayumi was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and started searching near the front wheel. This time, she quickly found the four-leaf clover.
Ayumi picked up the four-leaf clover, her face full of confusion: "Why?"
Yuya said, "Because the car's current location is exactly where we parked it when we took the photo. The car has been moved, so of course you won't be able to find it if you're looking in the wrong place."
Ayumi suddenly understood.
Yuya said, "Also, there's a tire runway behind the rear wheel of the car. I've taken a photo and given it to the forensic officer. This can also serve as evidence that the car has been moved."
"To sum up," Yuya put one hand in his pocket, "there is only one person who can pull off these tricks, and the murderer is you." He raised his other hand, slowly and firmly pointing at someone, "Ms. Zenda Maika!"
Maika Shantian's face suddenly changed, she grabbed her clothes with both hands and bit her lips hard.
Everyone looked at Shantian Maika in surprise but not surprise.
Yuya continued, "The crime went something like this. About five or six hours ago, you killed the victim in front of the villa, then dragged the body to its current location."
"Then you drove to the station to pick someone up, took us to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and deliberately parked the car where it is now."
At this time, Yamamura So asked, "Um, Detective Kamiya, if it's true as you said, didn't you find the body when you parked the car?"
Yuya said, "That's because you can't see it at all. As for the reason, just look at the rear window and the right rear side window of the car and you will know."
Upon hearing this, Shancuncao quickly ran to the back of the car and shouted in surprise, "Something is blocking the window! Is this a folded cardboard box?!"
"That's right," Yuya nodded. "She deliberately placed a lot of folded cardboard boxes in the car. In order to make room for people to sit, they had to stand the boxes upright against the window. This naturally blocked the view from that side, so without deliberately going around to the other side of the car, the body would be impossible to find."
"After parking the car, Ms. Zenda parked it the same way I had just done. Then, to make sure everyone didn't think there was a body next to the car, she suggested taking a photo. That was all."
"Then, we deliberately didn't bring any water. That way, when someone got thirsty, we could return to the car and complete the subsequent method. This way, it would look like someone had brought the body here while we were digging wild vegetables."
Yuya turned to look at Wakasa Rumi, "Wakasa-sensei, there must be quite a bit of dirt on the inside of your left arm, right?"
Wakasa Rumi was stunned for a moment, then she raised her left hand and saw that it was indeed covered in mud. She asked in surprise, "When was this?"
Yuya explained, "You got it when you turned the wheel. Similarly, there are similar traces of mud on the inside of Ms. Zenda's right arm, right?"
Everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Maika Yoshida's right hand, and they found that it was indeed the case.
Yuya said, "Normally, when you're looking for something on the ground, even if you use your hands to support the ground, you'll only get dirt on your forearms. But the inside of your entire arm is covered in dirt, which is evidence that you're turning the wheel with your hands."
"Also, you were the one who hid the victim's girlfriend in the villa's closet, right?"
"You found out that she liked to drink red wine, so you gave her a bottle of red wine mixed with sleeping pills so that she would fall into a deep sleep after drinking it."
"After you killed the victim, you used his key to enter the villa. While she was unconscious, you smeared the victim's girlfriend's hands with blood, then hid her in the closet. You knew she was afraid of darkness and claustrophobia, so she couldn't get out of the closet until the police found us, even though it was unlocked."
Shantian Maika was silent and couldn't say a word.
She didn't expect that the detective in front of her was so young, but his reasoning was as if he had been standing by and watching her entire crime process.
