Chapter 4: Losing to the Detective's Reasoning
"I wonder if Kameyama, who died two years ago, counts?" Matsuda said interestingly.
"The deceased should have been killed a few minutes before the body was found. Dr. Sung Si said.
Indeed, there is a gap of five minutes and thirty seconds in the front of this tape. Twilight pulled out the tape and said.
Matsuda looked at Cheng Shi suspiciously, frowning and wondering what Lu Dao was thinking. And when the people in the forensics class found something strange on the ground, Matsuda walked over and glanced at the sheet music, but he didn't pay attention, and walked to the door and asked the accompanying police officer, "Didn't you find anyone else in the public hall?"
The officer nodded: "We searched carefully, and there are no more people except for them who are still being questioned." ”
Sure enough, that's the case. Matsuda's eyes swept over Shimizu, Hirata, Murazawa, and immediately moved away when it reached Nishimoto's body. This kind of man doesn't look like he's killed someone.
The one who benefited the most of the three was Shimizu, who was also a candidate for village head, but what was the shady scene of the dead Kuroiwa and Kawashima, then Secretary Hirata should know best. Matsuda scratched his head, oops, there was still too little information to be had.
The scene of Black Rock's murder, preliminary investigation has been completed. Twilight gathers all of the people present in the hall, trying to find something out of them.
However, ordinary people who encounter murder at first glance are naturally not so stable emotionally, and they slowly turn from shirk to quarrel.
"Got it? You're next. While people were arguing, Conan said suddenly.
"Conan!?" said Ran in surprise.
"Password, as long as you knock on the door, then it's very simple. Conan said, "If you put the score according to the letters on the piano keys, then the score that Mr. Kawashima left behind when he was killed would be, 'Understand, you're next.'" And the score at the scene of Mr. Kuroiwa's murder means 'This sinful resentment is eliminated here.'" ”
"Does resentment refer to the pianist who was burned twelve years ago?" said those present in disbelief.
"Keiji Aso, Keiji Aso, he's really alive!" Nishimoto cried out in horror.
"He did die. The old patrol officer walked in from outside the door: "The comparison of the bones at the fire scene confirmed that it was indeed the Aso Keiji family who was not wrong." And most of their things in the house were burned, leaving only the music scores in the safe. ”
"Sheet music!?" "Twilight and Kogoro shouted together, "Where?"
"It's in the warehouse of the public hall. The old patrolman said, "But the key to the warehouse is in the police station." ”
"Then go get it!" said Twilight, angrily.
"Yes, yes. The old patrolman hurried out of the town.
"Wait, I'm going too. As Conan chased him out, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Matsuda leaning against the wall, staring at his police handbook in the dim light.
"Now, old man. On the way, Conan asked the old patrolman, "What did Officer Matsuda tell you just now?"
"Ah~~" The old patrolman said, "I asked some about Mr. Aso." ”
"Can you tell me, then?" said Conan, crisply.
"Actually, Mr. Aso, Mr. Kuroiwa, Mr. Kawashima, Mr. Nishimoto, and Mr. Kameyama are good friends who grew up together. On the day of Mr. Aso's accident, they were witnesses at the scene. The old patrolman said.
"Is that all?" Conan asked.
"And some things about Mr. Murasawa. The old patrolman didn't wait for Conan to ask him this time, and finished himself: "Mr. Murasawa came to the island three years ago, and he finally got engaged to the village chief's daughter a few days ago, but Mr. Kuroiwa is very opposed. ”
"What about Mr. Hirata?" asked Conan.
"Mr. Hirata is actually very timid, and he probably wouldn't do those terrible things. The old patrolman said. "And Mr. Shimizu, who has a strong sense of justice, is loved by fishermen. Is there anything else you want to ask? Little Detective. ”
"Huh? hmm~~" Conan tilted his head to the side.
After an hour, the old patrolman finally found the key. Xiaolan panted and ran over to urge them, and said that the people in the hall had already gone back.
Conan learned about the situation, and hurriedly ran to the public hall. After hearing some strange noise, Conan ran to the room where the cursed piano was kept, and saw a figure fleeing, while Murasawa was lying unconscious on the ground.
Then I heard Xiaolan scream, ran back again, and saw Xiben hanging himself in the warehouse. And at Nishimoto's feet is a suicide note made of musical scores.
When it was time to be considered a suicide, Conan revealed several of these suspicions, confirming that it was another homicide.
When Twilight gathers all the people involved, she suddenly discovers that Hirata and Matsuda, the village chief's secretaries, are missing.
"Really, Matsuda's bastard has run somewhere at this time!"
Could it be that Hirata could be the murderer? Conan, who had some knowledge of Matsuda's abilities, wondered. But no, it doesn't make sense in many places.
When Conan saw the score left by Aso, he had a flash of inspiration and understood what had happened. After that, it's time to anesthetize Kogoro and tell the truth of the matter.
"I already have a rough idea of what happened. Conan adjusted the bow voice changer and was about to reveal the truth when Matsuda's voice came from the hall.
What? Conan looked down at the sheet music in his hand, could it be that the man really saw through the truth hidden under the fog?
"Really?" Twilight's expression changed to surprise, then skeptical, "Is it true?" ”
"Hey, Lord Police, do you not believe me like that?" Matsuda leaned against the door and said depressedly: "Judging from these three cases, whether it is to bring Kawashima back to the room from the sea, or to hang Nishimoto, it takes a certain amount of strength, and the murderer should be a man." Speaking of this, Matsuda stretched out three fingers: "Mr. Shimizu, Mr. Hirata, Mr. Murasawa." ”
"And the most suspicious of them should be Mr. Shimizu. However, Mr. Nishimoto should have nothing to do with him, and," Matsuda said with a sharp turn of words, "and then I discovered another matter, which ruled out Mr. Shimizu's suspicion." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Twilight on behalf of those present.
"Sea*in. Matsuda said, "Kuroiwa and Kawashima used the piano of the public hall to hide the sea * in the trade. And as the secretary of the village head, Mr. Hirata, it is impossible not to know. ”
"Hai*Yin?" Hearing this kind of thing, of course, Twilight couldn't stay calm: "Is it true?"
"Well, Mr. Hirata has already told me the inside story. Matsuda said, "When I took them back, I was guarding the public hall and thought something might happen there. Later, he caught Hirata who ran out. ”
"Ahh ”
"He keeps running, and I'll keep chasing him. I finally caught up, and I had a lot of doubts, so I asked him a few words on the spot. Matsuda explained.
"But, I really didn't kill anyone!" Hirata, whose hands were cuffed, suddenly appeared and walked in and said in fear, "I really didn't kill anyone." ”
"The murderer is indeed not Mr. Hirata. Matsuda interjected at this time: "If it was because of the problem of Kai*, then he would not have put Mr. Kawashima's body on the piano, which will increase the chance that this matter will be exposed." If the motive was not the cause of the sea, then it would have been the Keiji Aso incident twelve years ago. ”
And the dead Kameyama, Kawashima, Kuroiwa, Nishimoto and Aso are good friends who grew up together. Matsuda lit a cigarette and continued, "I'm afraid Mr. Aso was also involved in the sale of sea factors, because twelve years ago only Mr. Aso was able to travel abroad often. ”
"So what does Murasawa have to do with Aso?" Twilight didn't find fault with Matsuda's reasoning.
Mr. Aso also had a son who was receiving medical treatment in Tokyo. Matsuda said, "I suspect that he may have doubts about the events at that time, so he came to this island under a pseudonym three years ago to investigate the incident." ”
"What?
"It's just speculation. Just now I heard someone in the forensic class talk about Mr. Nishimoto's situation. I'm afraid that after Murasawa heard someone coming, he only hurriedly left a suicide note, and left in a hurry without placing a tiptoe platform. When he tried to escape from the piano room, he was attacked by Mr. Hirata, who was recovering the sea*. Matsuda spat out a cigarette and took a breath of relief, "If my guess is correct, then in the warehouse of the public hall, when the murderer left in a panic, there will definitely be some decisive evidence left." ”
"But," Xiaolan suddenly said at this time, "But Mr. Murasawa has been waiting outside the door when Miss Reiko is being questioned." Then he shouldn't have time to kill Mr. Kuroiwa. ”
"Oh?" Matsuda glanced at Xiaolan in surprise: "You actually remember this kind of thing." ”
Xiaolan blushed and whispered, "Because Miss Lingzi was very special at that time"
"Ah, indeed, a woman who has been yelling for ten minutes has some special impressions. Matsuda recalled, smiled, and then put away his smile: "If he hadn't been an accomplice, he really wouldn't have had a chance to kill Mr. Kuroiwa." ”
Accomplice?Twilight couldn't believe it: "Brother Matsuda, could it be a mistake?" I didn't find any outsiders at the time. ”
"I don't need anyone else, just adjust the time of Mr. Kuroiwa's death. Matsuda said, "Isn't that right? Dr. Narumi, who came to Moonshadow Island not long ago when Kameyama Village Chief died of heart failure two years ago. You deliberately delayed Mr. Kuroiwa's death by half an hour, right?"
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Dr. Chengshi showed a strange smile: "Mr. Officer, when did you know the truth?"
"I was suspicious the first time you said the inferred time of death. Matsuda said confidently, "The clotting process of blood is not something that can be completed in just a few minutes, so I knew at the time that you were lying. A close examination of one side of the tape revealed that the reverse side of the tape was a completely blank thirty minutes. So I speculate that the real time of Mr. Kuroiwa's death was not five minutes and thirty seconds before we heard the moonlight, but thirty-five minutes and thirty seconds. Moreover, even if the prisoner leaves any clues, then Miss Chengshi, who is closest to the scene, has a chance to easily erase it. Moving Kawashima's body to the piano room was also supposed to be to transfer the coroner and thus facilitate the killing of Kuroiwa. After all, a judicial autopsy could not be conducted on the island to truly determine the cause of Kawashima's death. ”
"However, I can't think of how a weak girl like you could drown Kawashima on the beach. So you're just covering up for the real culprit. And Murasawa should be your lover in Tokyo. Matsuda said pityingly, "Is it worth it to help the murderer for the sake of love?"
"No, it's not. At this time, Kogoro's voice came.
"Aha, you idiot even doubting my reasoning?" Matsuda didn't realize at this time that the real Kogoro had fallen asleep.
"The real murderer should be Dr. Narumi, and his identity is Keiji Aso's son, Asumi Minori! And the surname Asai should be the surname of his adoptive parents. Conan, who had been marginalized for a long time, finally told the truth of the matter.
"That's right, Mr. Aso's son is indeed called Narumi. The old patrolman interjected.
"What!?" Matsuda couldn't maintain that handsome posture anymore, and rushed straight from the door, grabbing the old patrolman's collar and shaking: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing just now!"
"Whew. The old patrolman gasped for a long time before regaining the ability to speak: "It was a long time ago, and I only remembered it later." ”
"Man!?" Matsuda's hands stiffened in front of his chest, and his fingers twitched from time to time, unable to believe the truth: "So, such a cute hiss, so cold!
"You idiot!" Twilight smacked Matsuda's head hard, "Now isn't the time to think about this!"
"The murderer is gone!" At this time, a police officer found that Cheng Shi was missing.
"Huh, you're so stupid, can't you even look at anyone, when did he disappear?" Matsuda rubbed his head and immediately changed the subject.
"Hey, hey, it's time for us to turn our attention to a. Twilight sneered.
Could it be that Conan had to start running again.
Dad, it's over. In the burning public hall, Amaki finished playing the moonlight and lay on the keys with tears in his eyes.
"Hey, no kidding. At this time, he remembered Matsuda's voice: "Are you going to die like this, as a murderer?"
Narumi looked up and saw that the burning door of the piano room was pushed open, and Matsuda was standing in the doorway, gasping for breath.
"Aren't I?" Chengshi wiped away his tears and sat upright.
"There are very few death sentences in Japan now. Matsuda walked in, and Masasei said, "But even if it's a death sentence, I think it's better to meet death as a good person who wants to make amends than a murderer who leaves regrets." ”
"What do I have to regret. Cheng Shi said coldly: "You just want me to accept the judgment of the so-called just law." ”
"What are you kidding!" Matsuda shouted angrily at Chengshi's attitude: "The only thing that can judge us is the morality in our own hearts!"
"Do you have the identity of Asai Narumi to live a good life for a day? Even if you are in prison, then you have to use the name Asai Narumi to enjoy your life!"
When Asai Narumi was forced to resist Matsuda and rushed out of the raging flames on his shoulder, he looked down at Matsuda who was lying on the ground and fell into a coma, and his eyes were shining with the words he heard after hearing the most resounding words.
When Conan arrives at the public hall, he sees Narumi holding Matsuda in a coma covered in cigarette ash. Silently walked over and handed the score up.
Chengshi, you want to survive alone.
When Cheng Shi saw the last sentence of the score, the corners of his mouth went up, revealing a smile and a real smile.
PS: In other words, because of work, I have to train for three months before the job and report the day after tomorrow. Although it is said that you can go home every half month, after all, it is a technical school, and the management should not be strict. It's just that the updates may not be so frequent in the next three months, and if there is a Sunday, then at least every week. Of course, if the management is lax, it is not a problem to change every two days. After all, Conan, a high-IQ Dongdong, is hard to code without watching animation. Then the code word strives to come out with another chapter.,Try to see if you can code three chapters tomorrow.。 Apologize and should be back to normal after three months.
