「Sisters:WikiWikiオンラインノベル/The Tragedy In The Plastic Bag」の版間の差分

I am Tom. I work as Mr.Brunt’s assistant. He is a great detective. Mr.Brunt has solved many cases. One day, we were going to Ash Island to examine the murder case which happened there.

<br>I was in a cabin in the ship. A few hours ago, engine of the ship had broken down. Rescue will come tomorrow, so passengers were forced to spend the night in their cabins. There were seven people in this ship including captain. We had listened to captain’s explanations, and after that we had introduced ourselves. <br>Fortunately,everyone had their own spare clothes, cosmetics and so on.

<br>It was ten p.m. I had taken a shower and changed my clothes already. I laid on the bed and closed my eyes. But I couldn’t stop thinking about this situation. It’s a “closed circle”. I hoped to happen nothing tonight... <br>I fell asleep soon. But my wish didn’t come true.

<br>Mr.Brunt was so tall and had beautiful blue eyes. Contrary to him,I was short. Mr.Brunt was drinking a cup of coffee. I guessed he had already had his breakfast. Mr.Brunt said ,

<br>Captain’s name was Benjamin. He was listening to the radio. He looked back at me and said ,

<br>“Good morning,boy.Would you like to eat a can of salmon?”  

<br>“Please do not treat me as a child.I’m eighteen years old.”  

Actually,I was seventeen.

<br>“Good morning,everyone. Captain,when will the rescue come?”  

<br>The door opened at that time. Koo-ko was standing there. Koitawa ———we call “Koo-ko” or “He”——— was a Japanese comedian. This is a stage name. According to Koo-ko,there are many comedians who have strange names in Japan. However,“Koitawa “was too difficult for us to say. He was traveling all over the world. I saw Koo-ko’s gag yesterday. To be honest, It was not so funny.

<br>“Oh,that’s too bad. I’ll give you a medicine.” Johnson said.

<br>“Good morning, everyone. I am hungry. Captain,is there something to eat in this ship?”

<br>“Yeah,I have some canned foods. Everyone except Mr.Brunt hasn’t had breakfast yet,so I will wake up Ms.Emily and eat breakfast together.”

<br>“Yes,let’s.” Ms.Hunt agreed.

<br>“Tom,come on.” Mr.Brunt told me and put on his gloves.

<br>We entered the cabin. Bathroom was on my left side. A shelf,a desk and a chair were on my right side. And Ms.Emily was lying in front of the bed. Mr.Brunt touched her throat and said,

<br>“Mr.Brunt,is it a deadly weapon?”

<br>A small suitcase was under the desk. It was full of many goods. But there was a space of a radio in it. Mr.Brunt investigated the suitcase. There was one clothing which Ms.Emily was wearing yesterday. Ms.Hunt said,

<br>“When she got on this ship,she had only this suitcase.” I said.

<br>“I see.” Koo-ko answered quietly.

<br>“What did you do last night,everyone? I was sleeping through the night and woke up at six.”

<br>We investigated all cabins, but we couldn’t find anything suspicious. Johnson had some goods for surgical operations, but it is natural. I saw a surgical knife for the first time.

<br>After that,we came back to dining room again.

<br>“Not yet. But I will find soon. Please give me a bit of time.” He answered.  

<br>“I think the plastic bag is the key. If I can understand why it was used, I can find who is a criminal...” Mr.Brunt murmured.

<br>And five minutes passed. Suddenly,Mr.Brunt shouted.

<br>“Oh,Jesus! I understood!”

<br>“Alright. I will charge the person who killed Ms.Emily.” Mr.Brunt said aloud. And started the explanation.

<br>“No, it is transparent. Also,there is a bloody radio too.” Mr.Brunt said.

<br>“X didn’t want blood to stick.”  

<br>“I will explain what happened last night.” Mr.Brunt said. And started talking.

<br>“X was puzzled what X should do. If someone see this blood, He or she will realize that I am a murderer! So X had to remove this blood stains. How about changing my clothes? But if this blood-stained clothes are found by someone, it’s same thing. X came up with a good idea. Changing the clothes with Ms.Emily. “  

<br>“That’s right. There is a blood stain, but it is strange to stick blood on the chest from the forehead.” Mr.Brunt explained with gestures. And Mr.Brunt continued talking.

<br>“I guess Ms.Emily was wearing a T-shirt when she was dead. X had to take it off. But...”

<br>We were surprised again. And we felt nervous too.

<br>“For first condition, X is a woman. However, Ms.Emily’s clothes are too small for Ms.Hunt. So, Ms.Hunt is not X.”

<br>“So, you are X!”
