Chapter 43: The Sneer of the Murderer, the Detective, and the Reporter (Part I)

Kurosawa Silver came out of the toilet just in time to bump into Twilight.

When the two faced each other, Twilight was inexplicably a little weak and looked away in embarrassment, but the next second he felt that he had no criminal police majesty like this, and he shouldn't do it, so he quickly turned his head and wanted to say something, but Kurosawa Silver had already turned around and walked away, so Twilight's face looked even more embarrassed.

"Officer, what's going on?" Although the case is currently being solved, Maori's curiosity has been completely aroused by the attitude of the two just now.

In the end, Twilight was defeated by Maori's cheekiness.

"A few days ago, he helped a murderer hide his crime, and he wanted someone to speak up instead of the murderer. ”

"......" Former detective Kogoro Mori was instantly dumbfounded by the news, "Is he crazy?" Twilight could clearly see the disgust on Mori's face, and then he was puzzled: "Wait, officer, the truth has been found, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Shouldn't he be the one who feels guilty? What are you dodging?" Maori looked puzzled.

The scapegoat was proposed by the man himself, Kurosawa was helping him, and the murderer committed suicide after the crime was exposed. ”

The fluttering words made Maori's face freeze instantly, and also shocked Xiaolan, who pricked up her ears and couldn't help eavesdropping.

Twilight shook her head, "Although we police didn't do anything wrong to arrest the real culprit, it's true that the girl died, and it's also true that his friend has been locked up at home after being hit." ”

So he now sees that Kurosawa Silver is very weak-hearted, although-

There was no need for such a thing, he remembered that he had encountered such a thing before, but the eyes of those participants were not as cold as Kurosawa Gin.

……

Kurosawa has no reason to have any negative feelings about Twilight because of the twin sisters' murder, instead, he should thank the other party for unknowingly accompanying him in a scene, helping vodka hide his identity, and killing Kusunokizawa by the way.

His eyes were wrong, but he was just a little uncomfortable knowing who the murderer was.

He thinks the guy is pretty good.

Kurosawa Silver returned to the restaurant, walked over and patted Lan Chuan on the shoulder: "Lan Chuan, come out, I have something to ...... about"

It's a pity that Lan Chuan didn't finish listening to his words before Twilight's voice sounded.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I have a few things to ask you. Twilight stood at the table, "At about half past two o'clock in the murder, I would like to take stock of your actions at that time. ”

Kurosawa Silver pulled the corners of his mouth open, and could only temporarily pull over the chair and sit back beside Lan Chuan.

At this time, he couldn't refute the officer's face, so he sat obediently and sat with the others and talked about his experience.

Kogoro Mori talks about waking Minaho up with an internal phone, and Lankawa also rushed to the scene.

Lan Chuan, who was on the chair with his arm, turned around: "Me too, I originally slept well on the first floor, but later I also heard the sound of them calling Honami up, but I don't think it's a big deal, but I didn't expect that the louder and louder you got later, I didn't worry about going up to the second floor to see the situation." ”

Kurosawa Silver glanced at him, but didn't speak.

The testimony of the people who followed was much the same.

Only the secretary was absent when the body was found, but she explained that it was because she had drunk too much last night.

At this time, Maori seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes turned to the photographer sitting next to the secretary, Maori mentioned that Ms. Su Fang had interviewed him yesterday and asked him to investigate the accident that killed the photographer 20 years ago.

The photographer frowned, he had never met Su Fang before, and he didn't understand why Su Fang would make such a move.

Conan's eyes changed, and he couldn't help but speak: "By the way, the traffic accident caused by Mr. Lanchuan's mother in the past was also twenty years ago, right?"

"That's right......" Lan Chuan nodded, but the next second he raised his head like an electric shock, "Could it be ......?"

Everyone's eyes were also shocked to shift to the photographer, and Maori Kogoro even tightened his eyebrows and pointed out the doubts in everyone's hearts: "So the car accident that killed your wife back then is ......"

The photographer admitted.

And Lan Chuan lowered his head and pondered something, it seemed that he only knew about it.

Some people wondered why the police's inquiries became more and more thorough, and the soothsayer showed a divination card and said lightly: "The police suspect that the murderer is among us, am I right?"

Last night's snow stopped at around 12 o'clock, but there was no sign of anyone else on the snow outside the house, so it's no wonder the police thought so.

According to common sense, if Su Fang is assassinated, there should be a lot of blood splattered on his body, but now there is no one on him, and the murderer should be the one who has time to clean his body.

And this person could only be the secretary who did not show up at the scene of the crime at that time.

The soothsayer didn't say the last word, but that's pretty much what she said before, and the secretary, who was aiming at it, pounced on the soothsayer in anger, and Takagi stepped forward to stop him, but the secretary reached out and tore off the necklace around the soothsayer's neck, and the pearls with broken threads fell to the ground like rain.

- Similar to a certain voice that Kurosawa Silver heard in the middle of the night.

While everyone was busy pulling away the secretary and the soothsayer, Kurosawa Silver squatted on the ground and silently picked up the pearls.

The drama finally stopped, and Kurosawa Silver had almost finished picking up all the pearls by himself, and he glanced at Takagi, who had gone out of the box with Shawble's mask not far away, and Conan, who had followed him out, and turned to the soothsayer.

The soothsayer, who sat back in his chair, looked up at Kurosawa Silver and pulled out a delicate box with red stripes on a black background from his bosom.

Kurosawa poured the pearl inside, just enough to fill the gap.

"Thank you. The soothsayer closed the box and folded his hands on his chest, "As the eldest lady said, you are a very gentle person. ”

"Who is your eldest lady?" Kurosawa Silver raised an eyebrow at the soothsayer.

"Where my faith lies. For the first time, a faint smile appeared on the soothsayer's beautiful face, "Your friend, too." ”

Kurosawa thought he knew which guy it was.

He turned, waved at the soothsayer, and walked over to Lan.

She had a complicated expression when she saw him coming, but when she realized that Kurosawa was just asking her about things on business, Xiaolan returned to normal and tried her best to tell everything she knew.

"Thank you. Then Kurosawa turned around again.

"Come out. Kurosawa Silver put his arm on Lan Chuan's shoulder, "I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Lan Chuan was dragged out in a daze.

Kurosawa Silver was not interested in talking to Lan Chuan about anything else, and when he walked to a more remote location in the corridor, he looked at Lan Chuan and asked him directly if he was a murderer.

Lan Chuan looked at him with a somewhat terrifying expression: "Kurosawa, I didn't bring you here to make up the news. ”

"There's a faint smell on you, I smelled it on top of the mask, you touched the mask. "Of course, that doesn't prove anything.

"In the living room, you said you saw 'them' telling Honami to get up, but Miss Koran was the only one who went, and Edogawa ran to check the door. But Mr. Mori did say that Edogawa and Miss Koran should wake up Honami - you heard that on the third floor, right?"

Of course, this doesn't mean much.

However, this sentence is quite crucial, he guarantees that Conan's kid was suspicious when he heard Lan Chuan's words, after all, he Kurosawa Silver felt that something was wrong when he noticed Conan's puzzled expression at that time, so he went to Xiaolan for advice.

Lan Chuan's face changed when Kurosawa Silver said these words, but he just looked at Kurosawa with a light smile, saying that Kurosawa was helping him relieve his depression in his heart who was immersed in the grief of his benefactor's loss of life, and he was joking with him.

"If you really think I'm a murderer, okay, tell me my modus operandi. Lan Chuan's eyes were blazing on Kurosawa Gin.

The police only need evidence and results to arrest the murderer, but in order to make a criminal truly convinced, the process is perhaps the most important.

Instead of presenting the evidence to the police, Kurosawa took him to this place, and Lan Chuan believed that Kurosawa chose the second option.

So Lan Chuan is very calm.

Kurosawa Silver was more calm, but his eyes became darker, staring at Lan Chuan's face and speaking in a very slow voice.

The murder weapon was a decorative knife in the mansion.

The killer put an elastic band on the end of the hilt, followed by the mask, and put the elastic band through all the holes in the eyes of the mask, like a bead, and then used the elastic band to tie the knife through the mouth of each mask.

Lan Chuan can go and get the key in the kitchen when everyone else is asleep, enter the mask hall and steal all the masks and murder knives, lock the door, and then take the key back to the kitchen, and then move all the preparation props to the third floor, string all the masks with elastic bands, and put the masks into Ms. Su Fang's bedroom one by one from the lattice plank.

The planks were only five or six centimeters apart, but the mask could pass through them very easily.

After all the masks are put into the dormitory, you can control the masks with elastic bands, and pull the elastic bands all the way out, so the masks on the elastic bands will gradually get closer, and these masks that are worn up will be tightened in mid-air in the end due to factors such as hardness, and even if the lights are turned off, you can control the masks with the knife to point at Su Fang's neck.

Two hundred masks are superimposed, at least three meters in length, and the position of Su Fang's neck is about 3.5 meters away from the lattice plank, so the distance between the knife and Su Fang's neck is still ten centimeters, but as long as you push the mask with something like a wooden stick, the knife can pierce Su Fang's neck.

In the end, all it takes is to cut off the elastic band that passes through the mask and the knife, and the mask will be scattered all over the ground, creating the scene of Shoble's Mask Curse, while the elastic band will be removed and recycled, leaving no evidence behind.

Of course, there are still things that can prove the existence of this technique, such as only one of Schobul's masks covered in blood, and the other masks are at most stained with blood on the corners of their mouths.

"It's a clever approach. Kurosawa Silver rarely admired.

“…… Isn't it even debunked by you, no matter how subtle it is?" Lan Chuan shrugged his shoulders, he spread his hand, but his helpless face still maintained a smile, "So, now, big reporter, what are you going to do? Do you hand me over to the police, or ask me about my motive for committing the crime first, or choose not to know anything, and wait for the police to return in vain before releasing the truth, and then slap the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the face?"

"Neither. ”

"......" Lan Chuan raised his eyebrows as Kurosawa Silver approached him step by step.

"I only ask you what you brought me here for. Kurosawa pushed his glasses and said more slowly, "You didn't have a premeditated approach to me, did you?"

For the first time, Kurosawa called out the young man's full name.

Lan Chuan Fuyuya's eyes flashed.
