"Well……"

What the hell!

Looking at the things in the cave, Shu Yunwen's heart was a little hairy, and he shivered, and quickly retracted his head——

Nima! This scene is not much different from the eighteen dead bodies lined up by the sea, right? Normal people will have nightmares at night after watching it, okay?

As for Aida Yanichi, the expression on his face was extremely dignified, and he shouted loudly: "Get more forensics personnel here immediately! Here...conclusive evidence has been found!"

"Yes!" A policeman responded and ran away immediately.

The few remaining policemen looked at each other back and forth, and then took a few steps towards Kogu Lianzo, in a siege posture.

Yueshui Nanatsuki walked behind Shu Yunwen, took a few serious glances into the cave, and then stepped back, resting his chin in one hand: "There are eighteen bottles in total, and each one is well sealed. , it should be formalin to prevent the corpse from decomposing. According to the calculation of one finger in a bottle, there should be eighteen fingers inside, matching the number of the dead. On the outermost side, there are electric shock batons, ropes, Pliers, etc., these should be the murder weapon..."

"Ah! Are there really fingers inside, inside?" Sonoko also glanced cautiously, and then screamed, "So, this is where Butler Kotani hid the victim's fingers?"

"Looks like it can't be wrong. After all, no one is bored enough to put some fake fingers in a jar and put them in a place like this, right?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled slightly: "Housekeeper Kotani, you really let Aobozu 'eat' these fingers like in the legend, and let Aobozu directly 'swallow' them into your stomach!"

"Wait, Detective Koshimizu, what do you mean?" Aida Hikoichi looked puzzled.

Shu Yunwen turned around, and explained: "This, should it be the motive for the serial murders committed by Butler Jiagu?"

"The housekeeper Kotani and the wife of the Otsuka family who died in a car accident four years ago, both believe in the evil god of their hometown, that is, Aobozu in Hyakki Night Walk."

"The legends about Qingfangzhu are different because of different regions. In the hometown of Kotani Steward, Qingfangzhu was transformed by a monk who starved to death. The evil god who lost the little finger of the right hand of the person who was hung. Because, in this legend, the human soul is stored in the little finger of the right hand of the person, and the evil god who is starved to death can only fill his stomach by eating the soul."

"Because of this, the people in Kamisagawa Town, Sorachi County, Hokkaido believe that if the little finger of the right hand is broken before death, the soul will be trapped in the little finger and cannot become a Buddha! If you want to transcend, you must go to The evil god enshrines the little finger of the right hand of other people, so that the evil god can eat it..."

"Officer Aida, do you remember the photo of Mrs. Otsuka's death scene?"

"Of course I remember, at the scene of Madam's death, her right little finger..." Aida Hikoichi nodded immediately, and understood, and looked at Kotani Renzo in surprise and disbelief, "...Could it be because Is this the reason?"

"That's right, it's because of this reason." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Kotani Renzo and said softly, "The butler Kotani did not hesitate to commit crimes in order to make the dead lady's soul transcend and ascend to heaven and become a Buddha..."

"However, if it is because of this reason, the other people in the villa should also have a motive for killing, right? Like the dead master..." Aida Yanichi continued to raise objections.

"It can't be the master, and it can't be someone else." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook his head, "Because, in this villa, except for Mr. Kotani, there is no one else who believes in the evil god Aobozu!"

"How do you know?" Aida Hikoichi asked.

At this time, Shu Yunwen explained again: "About this point, if you just ask the people in the villa, it should be easy to know. In this villa, the only person who comes to worship Master Qingfang every day is Butler Jiagu. That's right, Mrs. Asai."

"No, that's right." Asai Ruri nodded hastily, "At least, from what I've seen, except for Butler Kotani, no one else will go to the Shentang..."

"Me, me too, I saw the butler come to Shentang." Chef Fukuda followed suit.

"Me too." Gardener Yamamoto had the same expression.

Aida Yanyi looked suspiciously at Fukuda and Yamamoto: "Is there really no one? Like chef Fukuda, gardener Yamamoto, or the dead master, they may be accomplices. In this case, they may hide that they will come to the shrine things..."

Nanatsuki Koshimi shook his head and said, "There is no such possibility. According to the testimony of other servants in the villa, Butler Kotani would come to the shrine every morning and afternoon to 'worship', and he was alone. .Officer Aida, look at the table at the Shindo, don’t you think something is missing here?”

"What's missing...?" Aida Yan looked at the offering table with an incense burner and two candles, "Is there anything missing here?"

"It's an offering! On the table here, there are no offerings for the gods!" Shu Yunwen is also a ghost wizard who pretends to be a ghost, so he is familiar with this set. "On the offering table, incense burners, candles, etc. are also considered offerings." , However, it is also necessary to put some food and clear water on the table. Since the housekeeper Jiagu is here to worship the gods, of course he will not forget such an important thing..."

"...Guess, what is the 'offer' he offers here every day?"

"Uh... Could it be..." Aida Yan glanced at the glass bottle in the cave behind the statue, and the fingers contained in the glass bottle.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said seriously: "The offerings made by Steward Kotani to Aobozu, but according to their legend, Aobozu's favorite 'food'! It contains the right little finger of the soul!"

"Will he really put that kind of thing on the table as an offering?" Sumi Tsukamoto and the others felt disgusted in their hearts.

"Of course, it can't be wrong. Because there are really no ordinary offerings on the offering table here." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded seriously, "...Maybe in the beginning, there will also be offerings on the offering table here." Some normal things. However, probably because the number of times has been too long, butler Kotani is too lazy to bring ordinary offerings here, and it is troublesome to pack them, so he came empty-handed."

"...There are such dangerous 'offerings' on the table. If Butler Jiagu really had an accomplice, he would definitely let the accomplice come with him and help him guard him? Since Butler Jiagu is always alone every time, That means he has no accomplices!"

"This...you are right to say so." Aida Yan smiled dryly, but after a little thought, he raised an objection, "...But, this still doesn't make sense? Could it be that the servants of the Otsuka family really didn't Will people come to the shrine?"

"Of course there will be. However, as long as the butler Kotani locks the door from the inside, he doesn't have to worry about being seen, and he has enough time to clean up the 'offerings' on the table." Nanatsuki Koshimi pointed behind the door plug.

Aida Yan was stunned for a moment: "Put the door lock on? It's no problem to be discovered once or twice, but if there are too many times, people will definitely be found abnormal..."

"Of course. So, the butler Kotani came up with a good idea. Even if he is discovered many times, it will not arouse others' suspicion." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile, "The number of servants in the Otsuka family is not large. It’s a small amount, but the only ones who have worked here for a long time are Chef Fukuda and Gardener Yamamoto, and the rest have only worked for four months, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"The servants in the villa are all newcomers. That's because those servants who have disturbed the housekeeper Jiagu have all been fired!"

"They were all... fired?!" Aida Yanichi was surprised.

"That's right. Mr. Yamamoto, the gardener, once said that the master is very tough in character. If any of the servants in the villa are disobedient, the master will let the butler of Jiagu fire him. As a housekeeper, Jiagu has many opportunities to let these servants People deliberately make mistakes in front of the master, and then take the opportunity to fire them. As long as the master is angry, the other servants will not be surprised."

"Every servant who disturbs Butler Kotani will be fired. Butler Kotani will insert a door bolt in the shrine's strange behavior, so naturally no one will know~"

"So, that's how it is..." Hikoichi Aida suddenly realized.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued: "Mrs. Asai, I remember you once said that Steward Kotani often told the people in the villa that it is best to pay homage to Aobozu together, right? Butler Kotani said that, in fact, he wanted You have to distinguish which ones of you may go to worship the gods! Once someone really expresses the idea of ​​​​worshiping together, the Kotani steward will find an opportunity to fire them."

"Also, although Mr. Fukuda, the chef, angered the master because of the cooking, he was almost dismissed, but in the end it was the housekeeper Kogu who helped dissuade the master. That's because he knew that Mr. Fukuda would not bother him to worship God statue... If Mr. Fukuda is really fired, it may not be easy to find a chef who will not disturb him!"

"As for my reasoning, if the police want to prove it, they only need to find those servants who have been dismissed before, and after a few questions, the truth will be revealed!"

"So...is that so..." Fukuda Sanji hid in the corner again—he thought at first that Kotani Renzo was thinking about old feelings, so... now it seems that he really thought too much.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued: "Based on the above reasons, I can be sure that Kotani Renzo must have committed the crime alone, without any accomplices! If there were really accomplices, as long as there were accomplices to cooperate, he didn't need to go through so much trouble. "

Aida Yanichi has basically believed it now: "It is true."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued: "Since Butler Kotani uses 'offerings' to worship the evil god in the shrine every day, I believe he should have no energy to clean the 'offering' glass bottle every time, right?"

"Next, as soon as the forensic personnel come, they can easily collect the fingerprints, dander, and hair of Butler Jiagu from the things inside. These are all irresistible."

"Steward Jiagu, at this time, don't you still plead guilty?!"
