Chapter 782 Shocking Truth, Hayabusa Taro's Precise Reasoning!

"It's you... Enkichi!" Wang Tanzhi pointed at the witness, shouting with certainty.

"Huh?" Enkichi was stunned.

"Wh...what?" Kumakichi was also stunned. "It's you... Enkichi-kun!"

"Geez...your reaction, as if you'd forgotten you were the culprit, is pretty impressive..." Feng Bujue thought. Only at times like these did he feel that Kumakichi's nonsensical behavior had some use.

"What did I do?" Enkichi, clearly innocent, was unnerved by the inexplicable accusation, his expression truly resembling that of someone who'd committed a crime.

"Hmph..." Xiao Tan snorted, playing mysterious. "In fact...the truth is already before our eyes..."

"Oh, I'd love to hear it," Tu Mei said, looking at Xiao Tan expectantly.

Inunosuke, on the other hand, said expressionlessly, "Please elaborate, Mr. Hayabusa Taro."

Two seconds later, Wang Tanzhi pointed with his wing, "Look..."

Following his wing, everyone looked towards a skylight in the upper part of the warehouse wall.

"Penguin-suke's head, and the bloodstained knife...appearing directly below this skylight, are the best evidence," Xiao Tan continued.

"Oh...I see!" At this moment, Feng Bujue even chimed in as if he'd suddenly understood.

Jue-ge was also amazing...upon hearing this, he'd already guessed what kind of nonsense Xiao Tan was about to present.

"The course of events...is like this..." Next, Xiao Tan began to narrate, "In the afternoon, Enkichi made up some reason...to lure Penguin-suke to the alley between the sports equipment warehouse and the school's outer wall. With Penguin-suke completely unprepared, Enkichi suddenly drew his knife. Although Penguin-suke cried out before dying, he couldn't escape...and was ultimately beheaded by Enkichi."

"Hey...wait a minute...Kumakichi is the one with blood on his hands!" Enkichi interrupted excitedly. "My hands are..."

"Don't interrupt!" Xiao Tan authoritatively stopped him. "I was just about to get to that..." He paused, then continued, "After killing someone, you know someone would hear the cries and come running, so you had to get rid of the murder weapon immediately.

"So...you turned and ran in the direction behind the sports equipment warehouse. However...what you didn't expect was that Kumakichi-kun was nearby. He heard Penguin-suke's scream and immediately came from the direction in front of the warehouse, appearing at the other end of the alley."

"Oh~ oh~" Feng Bujue listened, praising inwardly, "This immersive bullshitting is almost convincing me!"

"Your previous testimony...clearly has loopholes," Xiao Tan's narration continued. "You said you 'saw a black shadow, holding a knife in his left hand and something dark in his right, running out of this end of the alley,' and then you 'immediately gave chase'... hmph..." He snorted. "Don't you think it's strange? A normal person, seeing such a bloody murder scene, would basically be scared witless, but you...without any weapons, unhesitatingly chased after the knife-wielding murderer? Is that reasonable?"

"Hmm...now that you mention it," Tu Mei said, stroking her chin. "That makes sense!"

"I...I I...gigiigi..." Enkichi scratched his head, covered in sweat, and didn't know how to explain.

"The truth is..." Xiao Tan took the opportunity to add, "Kumakichi, arriving at the scene, saw Penguin-suke lying in a pool of blood. Surprised, he instinctively went forward to check, and accidentally got blood on his hands and the soles of his shoes. Seconds later, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly realized...at the other end of the alley, there was a shadowy figure holding a sharp knife and a head..." He glared at Enkichi. "...that's you, Enkichi."

"I...is that so..." Even Kumakichi himself seemed to believe it, muttering on the side.

"Everyone knows Kumakichi's personality. Although he's a pervert, he's not very brave and he's a total weakling," Xiao Tan continued. "Seeing the murderer still nearby, he naturally turned and ran." He paused for half a second, his eyes flickering slightly. "And you...Enkichi, you knew that in that situation, the chances of catching Kumakichi and silencing him were small. Therefore, you simply ignored him and turned back, exiting the alley from the other end..." Saying this, he once again raised his wing-hand, pointing to the high window, "Outside this window is the back of the warehouse. You used that window...to throw Penguin-suke's head and the murder weapon in. Then, you washed your hands in the sink near the back of the warehouse, washing away the bloodstains."

Hearing this, even Inspector Inunosuke was nodding. "Oh...is that what the 'evidence' refers to..."

Xiao Tan nodded to the inspector, then looked at Enkichi again, continuing, "After doing all this, you crossed the alley, appeared at the other end of the sports warehouse, and joined the crowd that had come running, pretending to be the first witness to arrive at the scene." He snorted. "Hmph...you were indeed very careful, intentionally avoiding the bloodstains around the corpse when crossing the alley. But don't you think... 'crossing such a narrow alley without stepping on a single drop of blood' is itself...an abnormality? I ask you...faced with such a bloody murder scene, who besides the murderer would be so calm and meticulous?"

"That's right!" At this moment, Feng Bujue suddenly took over Xiao Tan's words, looking at Enkichi and saying, "And the real 'first witness,' Kumakichi, after being frightened by you and running away...was desperate and didn't know where to go. As soon as he ran out of the alley, he turned into the sports equipment warehouse." He raised his cat paw, pointing at Kumakichi, "He came in through the front door, running straight inside, but...just as he reached the wall, he saw a bloody Penguin head and a knife falling from the high window. Seeing this scene, he must have been shocked again, and then he turned around and ran out again, meeting us outside."

Jue-ge was indeed a good teammate. His timely assistance explained away the bloody footprints on the warehouse floor and made up for the last flaw in Xiao Tan's theory.

"Hmm..." Inspector Inunosuke released Kumakichi and walked up to Enkichi. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Gigigi...I...this..." Enkichi was covered in sweat, slumped on the ground, and was so wrongly accused that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"Amazing, Hayabusa Taro," Tu Mei said to Xiao Tan. "I lost this推理 duel... I didn't expect you to find the real culprit so neatly."

"Heh...hehe..." Xiao Tan wiped the sweat from his temples. "You... you flatter me."

Five minutes later, Inspector Inunosuke put Enkichi in the police car...

Kumakichi, Tu Mei, Jue-ge, and Xiao Tan watched the police car slowly drive away, each with a meaningful expression.

"Jue-ge...I was wrong..." Wang Tanzhi turned his head and whispered to Feng Bujue, "This is absolutely【BEEP】harder than normal deduction..."

Well-mannered as he was, he also inadvertently swore.

"Dead tired, huh..." Feng Bujue responded.

"More than half-dead...I almost burst a blood vessel," Xiao Tan replied. "The next case...no, all the cases after that, you take them..." he said solemnly, "If this happens a few more times, even if my IQ can hold up, my moral bottom line will soon be lost..."

"Isn't it just screwing over a monkey?" Feng Bujue said casually. "At most, he'll just be sent to the clinic, what else can happen..."

"Yeah...it's exactly that attitude," Xiao Tan continued. "This 'it's not that the bottom line is low, but that you don't know what a bottom line is, nonchalantly making jokes about the tragedies you create, and being ready to pickle vegetables in someone else's urn if necessary' spirit...is something I can only dream of."

Hearing this, Feng Bujue was silent for two seconds, then opened his mouth and said, "Have you seen cartoons about cats and birds?"

"Uh..." Xiao Tan thought for a moment. "Tweety and Sylvester?"

"If I were the screenwriter, it would be *Maosaburo's Falcon Cuisine Classroom*," Feng Bujue said.

"I understand..." Xiao Tan swallowed and stopped talking.

At the same time, the scene change...also arrived.
