Yamamura Misao had just happened to take a call. Hearing this, he immediately perked up. "Of course there's evidence! According to our emergency investigation, Sentan Saruhiko had an accident during his time with the Acrobat Troupe—he fell while walking a tightrope. That was when he developed his fear of heights, and everyone in the troupe can testify to it!"
Tatsumi Ryunosuke said impatiently, "There are still arrow marks on the tree across the river. If he didn't take that route, are you saying someone just shot arrows at a tree for no reason?"
Jiang Xia said, "Those arrow marks were deliberately left by the real culprit to mislead the investigators into thinking that Sentan Saruhiko crossed the rope bridge and escaped through the window."
Yamamura Misao silently lowered his head, trying to make himself less noticeable and pretend that the unfortunate fool who had been misled earlier was not him.
Fortunately, nobody was paying attention to him at the moment.
Jiang Xia continued, "Sentan Saruhiko did participate in this case, but rather than the 'real culprit,' he was more like a puppet being controlled by someone else. This case was actually committed jointly by two people. Sentan Saruhiko's 'accidental death by misfire' was not an accident—it was his accomplice silencing him."
Hashimoto Maya listened with his heart pounding. The phrase "a puppet being controlled by someone else" was impossible for anyone who knew the truth not to associate with Uzo.
Had Jiang Xia really found enough evidence to expose the mastermind?
Would Uzo suddenly order him to kill the Detective to keep him quiet?
A moment later, Hashimoto Maya suddenly realized something and discreetly glanced at Curacao again. "..." Wait, if that was the case, this woman would definitely take action too. He might as well play it by ear
