Chapter 674 Hakuba Saguru: Why does everyone seem like a bad person...?

The murderer... is among us?!

Ikumi Gunda's words broke the unspoken understanding that had been maintained among everyone present.

Xiao Lan and Longshelan, being such dullards, were greatly shocked by this news.

Lin Jiayou and the others were used to it and remained unmoved.

Hakuba glanced at Yata Ikumi beside him, his eyes becoming more serious.

He once considered Ikumi Gunta to be his most reliable ally, but now it seems...

That's not necessarily true...

The person who reveals their unspoken understanding at this point is either fearless or...

They want to muddy the waters!

In an instant, the relationships that had just been established between the people seemed to be separated by an invisible layer...

"Young Master White Horse,"

Ikumi Gunda smiled at Saguru Hakuba.

"You don't need to doubt me."

"I'm pointing this out simply because I think we're all famous detectives, all intelligent people."

"Among intelligent people, keeping things secret only makes it easier for the hidden killer to act. It's better to..."

"Let's be frank and open about it."

Despite hearing what Ikumi Yata said, Hakuba Saguru remained vigilant.

However, he still gave Ikumi Gunta a friendly smile.

"Not at all, Miss Gunda, what are you saying?"

"I also think it's good for everyone to have an open and honest conversation."

"hehe,"

Ikumi Gunda smiled noncommittally at this.

She gently tossed a few strands of her hair aside and casually glanced at the crowd.

"Since we've decided to be open and honest, let's all share our thoughts."

"As the one who proposed this, let me start by sharing my thoughts..."

When Ikumi Gunda said this, no one objected, and they all nodded in agreement.

Having anticipated this situation, Ikumi Gunda continued speaking.

"First of all, my thoughts are the same as Mr. Mori's and Mr. Mogi's—"

"I also previously considered Ms. Chima to be the prime suspect..."

"Oh no, she's not even the prime suspect, I just think she's the murderer."

"Why...why..."

Seeing that Inspector Megure wasn't there, Tequila took on the role of the straight man and blankly asked Gunda Ikumi a question.

Having previously observed tequila, Ikumi Gunda was somewhat prepared for this.

She smiled and spoke to the tequila.

"Is Mr. Long Si testing me?"

"These things are so obvious."

"First of all, Ms. Chima's words in the Twilight Villa were very problematic."

"She kept emphasizing that she didn't like the smell of smoke, so she didn't want anyone to smoke."

"Considering the poison on the teacup handle, the conclusion becomes clear—she didn't want anyone to die before the person she had designated to die, by triggering the poison while smoking."

"However, this doesn't explain much; the more important point is what comes next..."

"That is, the way she flipped the coin."

As she spoke, she looked around.

It turned out that, apart from Tequila, no one seemed too surprised by what she had just said, which made me feel a pang of emotion.

Indeed, my choice was right.

These so-called discoveries that were kept hidden were actually already common knowledge, so it would have been better to say them sooner rather than later.

Whether it's using this attitude to exchange information with everyone, or observing people's micro-expressions, it will help advance the case. Being secretive is actually counterproductive...

After what Ikumi Gunta said, even the usually dazed Tequila started to understand.

He recalled for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the way Sister Senma flips the coin is a bit strange."

"Based on my experience, she must have put something on the coin to allow her to precisely control the outcome of her coin toss."

"Yes."

Ikumi Gunda smiled slightly and nodded.

It seems this Detective Long isn't so clueless after all; he does possess some observational skills and experience...

After thinking for a moment, Ikumi Yata looked at Saguru Hakuba and smiled slightly.

"Is that what Young Master Bai Ma thinks too?"

"Um,"

Hakuba Saguru seemed to be thinking about something and was reluctant to speak, only giving a soft "hmm".

At this moment, Harufumi Mogi, who was somewhat moved by the death of Chima Furuyo, also spoke up.

"That's what I thought."

He glanced at Ikumi Gunta and said with some emotion,

"I also noticed these two points, so when I saw that I was able to ride with Sister Senma to the suspension bridge, I felt a little fortunate."

"I was thinking that this way I could be more certain whether she was the murderer..."

"But,"

After finishing his sentence, Harufumi Mogi couldn't help but punch the armrest of the sofa, speaking with some annoyance.

"Because I had this mindset, I didn't do anything even when the car exploded."

"At that time, I was basically convinced that Sister Senma was the murderer. She planned to fake her death in the explosion to escape and then come back to observe us secretly."

"But unexpectedly, she actually died in the explosion..."

"Mogi, this isn't your fault,"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri comforted Harufumi Mogi.

"That car explosion came so suddenly."

"Even if you didn't suspect Sister Senma at the time, you still wouldn't have been able to save her immediately..."

"Ugh--"

Harufumi Mogi sighed again.

Kogoro Mouri is right. He doesn't have a strong sense of responsibility to feel guilty about it; he just feels a bit uncomfortable...
