Chapter 83: True and False Reasoning (I)
"Potato chips as props?"
"To hide what's inside. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Look at the picture of the right fingernail, there is a faint slime on it. ”
"It's saliva. ”
"I mentioned that he used to eat with his left hand. The mucus left on his right hand is not due to the marks left by licking his fingers while enjoying it. ”
"It may have been a coincidence. ”
"Yes, it is possible. But when he went to the hospital and was interrogated by you, I don't think you gave him any snacks to eat, and he didn't touch any food with his hands...... Naturally, there could be no saliva left on it. ”
"What's that?"
"Honey. ”
“…… What are you kidding? Honey?"
Sato looked at Kudo Shinichi like he was looking at a madman.
This is also the reason why she has a better temper, if a different policeman hears Kudo Shinichi's "nonsense", and promises to throw the other party out of the murder scene without saying a word, where will he talk nonsense here.
"The murderer had nothing to do and smeared honey on the victim's fingernails and covered them with potato chips?
"I didn't cut it, but I did treat him as a dish. ”
“…… Mr. Detective. Sato's forehead stood up, "If you want to play tricks, go out - now, immediately, immediately!"
“…… Officer Sato, may you let me finish my reasoning, and it's not too late for you to decide whether or not to let me go when you're done listening to them all. ”
......" Sato, "I'll give you three minutes to explain." ”
Kudo Shinichi showed a faint smile at Sato, and then a confident edge flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips rose, determined to win.
"I think the murderer's whole modus operandi is like this. ”
"Before the crime, he mixed the victim's fingernails with potato chips stained with honey. "Honey is the bait, and potato chips are the trick to mislead people about the wrong thing.
"The killer can observe the situation from that side through the instrument and put a hornet into the room when he gets the right moment. ”
Sato looked as far as Kudo Shinichi could see, and saw that the window was half open, and the curtains were swaying lightly in the breeze.
It has been this way since the time the case occurred.
No way, the driver's mental state is not right.
Therefore, when the psychiatrist helped me with the help of the treatment at the beginning, I maintained a well-ventilated environment that was convenient for Ryo Tsuchiya to relax.
This is indeed something that the murderer can expect.
On the opposite side of the window is another building of the hospital, with the rooftop of the top floor fenced by iron fences.
From this vantage point, you can only see the green that is almost intertwined into a curtain on it.
"If you look at this place from that place, you can see it clearly, but if you look from this side and that way, you won't find out who is there. ”
Sato exhaled a breath and retracted his gaze, and the emotions in his gaze at Kudo Shinichi gradually calmed down.
But some doubts did not subside with the change of her attitude towards Kudo Shinichi, but became more and more intense.
"But Mr. Detective, Ryo Tsuchiya was sent to the hospital by the police, what ward will he be admitted to, the murderer can easily be clear, and he can quickly find the surveillance location, but there is one thing, how did he put the hornet in?"
"When the medical staff came to push the cart, the anesthetized wasp was hidden in the curtain of the cart and it was easy to fall, and when the cart stopped, the wasp slipped to the corner due to inertia, and once the effect passed, the wasp woke up, and was attracted by the honey and flew away. ”
“…… Funny. How could the police not have found its traces? We're not blind. ”
"He didn't react properly until you gave Tsuchiya bright water, right?"
"No, it's after an uncomfortable reaction. We thought he was unwell and thirsty, so we gave him water. ”
"Judging by Officer Sato's reaction, I think I was right. ”
“…… What do you mean?"
"People like to put their hands on their laps when they're nervous, but Ryo Tsuchiya hides his hands under the covers. There was a faint sweat stain on his skin, which was evidence. ”
"He was bitten when his hands were in the bed. ”
"Naturally. Also, it is attracted to honey, but is quickly introduced and trapped under the futon and temporarily unable to escape, so it attacks and leaves. ”
"How do I leave?"
"Brushing honey under the window can easily lure it out. ”
"So...... This is the end of your reasoning, and you still keep thinking that the killer designed to poison the earthen house with a hornet?"
"You can imagine it. ”
"It seems to me that what you say is incredulous reasoning, all of which is based on your assumptions, without any evidence. ”
"The autopsy results are the best evidence for my statement, I just re-evolved the process of the crime. ”
Where did he get his self-confidence.
Sato tugged at the corners of his mouth, and pressed his hand to his forehead a little helplessly: "I said, you are still a high school student, and you are not the kid of Kudo Shinichi...... A word of warning, don't play mystery games on the spot, the real case is not at all the same as what you think about. ”
"......," Kudo Shinichizun silently twitched the corners of his mouth, "Officer Sato can bring it up if he thinks I have far-fetched reasoning." ”
"There's a lot of stuff out there. Sato raised his eyebrows, "The first one is why do you have anything to do with the hornets in this case?"
"I saw some ant activity on the glass shards on the ground. Those glass shards attract ants. If the reason does not come from the water cup itself, then it is left by Ryo Tsuchiya, who once held the water cup. ”
“…… I admire your powers of observation. But sometimes observation is not the most important thing, and it has to be combined with facts to discover the truth - for example, I have never heard of a hornet killing a person in such a short period of time. ”
"What if the person has allergies and has been stung by a hornet once?"
“…… Aha?"
"Being stung by a wasp once can be easily designed, allergies - Tsuchiya Ryo has very thin skin, vaguely revealing blue blood vessels, and he feels uncomfortable in an unventilated room without luster - he belongs to allergies and has poor resistance. ”
"I also suffered from allergies once...... Well, if both conditions are met, it is not uncommon for him to go into shock after a while, and then die......" Sato lowered his eyes, "It turned out to be such a way to die...... If the hospital knew that this was the cause, it wouldn't have been able to establish a treatment for Ryo Tsuchiya to die so quickly......"
"That's exactly what the murderer was for. Kudo Shinichi let out a sigh, "However, now that the modus operandi has been established, as long as we check the hospital's surveillance equipment and find people who not only used to approach this ward, but also the people who have been near the rooftop of the building and the window sill over there, I think we will be able to lock down the murderer soon." ”
"Officer Sato, do you believe my reasoning?"
Shinichi Kudo looked up at Sato with blazing eyes.
Sato looked at the young man's confident smile, was silent for a second, then nodded, took out his mobile phone and seemed to call someone, but at this moment, an email alert rang, arrogantly occupying the entire screen of the phone.
Mail from the coroner.
Sato squinted and pulled down, noticing that at a critical moment, his pupils contracted uncontrollably.
“…… Here comes the evidence, and as you might expect, your reasoning is completely correct. ”
Sato, who was still a little suspicious, finally didn't have any suspicions, took a deep look at Kudo Shinichi, and without saying a word, he began to dial a familiar phone number, and at the same time pushed the door and walked out.
It's just halfway through, and when the phone hasn't been connected, Sato can't help but turn his head to look at Kudo Shinichi, and his voice is clear.
"Anyway, I haven't asked your name yet?"
"I'm a worker...... No, just a high school detective who likes to find the truth. Kudo Shinichi lowered the brim of his hat and smiled slightly, it seems that he is really used to being low-key.
"Oh...... Really......" Sato glanced at Kudo Shinichi again, who had not shown up from beginning to end, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say a word, closed the door the moment the phone was connected, and walked away.
