In accordance with the normal process of solving the case, Twilight instructed his police officers to record the confessions of everyone present. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It just so happened that the villa at the site of the crime was large enough and there were enough rooms. After everyone was taken to different rooms, Twilight quietly pulled Xingchen aside and asked him, "Xingchen, what do you think of this case?"
In many recent cases, Xingchen has more or less made constructive suggestions on the case, and although it has not yet reached the level of Kudo's point-to-point, Twilight still wants to hear her son's opinion on the case.
Xingchen lowered his voice and leaned over to Twilight, "I probably already know who the murderer is. But ......"
Speaking of this, Xingchen stopped talking, but turned his gaze to Hattori.
"Could it be that the guy with the black charcoal head is the murderer?"
"Uh......" Xingchen quickly interrupted Twilight's divergent thinking and further explained, "His name is Hattori Heiji, and his father is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and a police inspector!"
Xingchen used a sentence to indicate Hattori's identity, as well as the background.
"It doesn't really matter who the murderer is, the important thing is that Brother Heiji is a famous high school detective in Osaka, and I think Brother Heiji will definitely help Dad solve the case!"
The meaning of Xingchen's subtext is: Pingji likes to play detective games, and if you serve him well, you will be able to climb the relationship with his father, and you will definitely help Twilight on her path to promotion in the future.
The old and mature Twilight naturally understood the meaning of Xingchen's words, and then the eyes he looked at Hattori became more and more serious.
Just ten minutes later, Twilight held the information gathered by the police officers in her hand and read, "The time of the victim's death is determined to be within half an hour before the body is found." ”
"Butler Koike has been chatting with his neighbor at the door from 3 to 4 o'clock, and this has been confirmed by the neighbor. In addition, the victim's son and his girlfriend arrived at the villa a moment before Mrs. Ikemura returned home, and Mrs. Ikemura went out at 1 o'clock, and arrived at the scene of the crime with Mori and others at 4 o'clock. The above three people should not have time to commit crimes. ”
"At present, the most suspected person is the victim's father, Toshimitsu Ikemura, who came to the villa at 2 o'clock and has been watching TV in the living room since then. ”
"Also, we found something strange on the key pendant in the victim's pants pocket, with duct tape stuck inside the key hanger and a hair-thick gap in the middle. I guess that's the key to cracking the secret room. ”
It stands to reason that all of this internal information should be kept strictly confidential, but Twilight already knows Heiji's background, and revealing the details of the case to Heiji is also to curry favor with him.
The books in front of the victim's desk, the Italian opera playing, the cracks under the door of the study, the marks on the key pendant......
All the evidence is in front of everyone, and the two detectives, Conan and Heiji, are also quick to deduce what they think is the truth.
"I already know! The secret room's methods, and who the murderer is!" Heiji shouted confidently.
"Brother Heiji is so powerful! Although Brother Shinichi is also very powerful, it's still a little worse than Brother Heiji. Xingchen was cheering for Heiji on the sidelines.
"Plop!"
I don't know if it was stimulated by the stars, or if Lao Baigan exerted his medicinal power, Conan's legs weakened and he suddenly fell to the ground.
After a moment of panic, Ran carried Conan to the lounge. Before leaving, Conan caught a glimpse of a circle of fishing line wrapped around Heiji's hand, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
After sending Conan away, Heiji couldn't wait to express himself, "Now, let me explain the case!"
"Wait a minute, Brother Heiji. Xingchen took out a CD from the bookshelf and put it in the luxurious home theater in the study, "In order to add to the authenticity of the reenactment of the case, I think it is better to play music." ”
The stars pressed the play button, and the famous Russian folk song "Brothers" fluttered out.
When the body was found, the DVD player was playing an opera in Italian. The Russian songs selected by Xingchen are also considered foreign languages, and anyway, everyone present couldn't understand the meaning, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
"Officer Twilight, please play the role of the deceased. Heiji just wanted to finish his reasoning one step ahead of Kudo at the moment, and he obviously didn't notice Xingchen's hint.
"Okay!" In order to make a good impression in front of Heiji, Twilight actively cooperates with Heiji's reasoning show.
"At the time of the crime, all the windows in this study were locked from the inside, and the only entrance and exit were also locked, so this study was a completely closed secret room. ”
"In addition, there were two keys to the room, one was owned by the victim's wife, who was not at home at the time of the crime, and the other was found in the victim's pants pocket, so this was a closed room homicide. ”
"However, while this appears to be a completely enclosed secret room, there is a gap ......"
After that, it was completely Hattori's personal performance time, and he used the fishing line and the tape on the key pendant to skillfully put the key into the victim's pants pocket through the small gap at the bottom of the study door, and finally broke the fishing line forcefully, and completed the layout of the secret room wonderfully.
"It takes about five or six minutes to complete this chamber. The rest of the room didn't have time to commit the crime at all, and I just found a fishing line with a needle tied to it in the trash can in my bedroom, which is made of a special material that is thin and tough.
After listening to Heiji's reasoning, Grandpa Ikemura was stunned, and it took a while to react.
"Hey, it's true that the legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. That's right, I killed ......" Grandpa Ikemura was lonely and ready to start the criminal's inner monologue, but was interrupted by a discordant voice.
"No, that guy made a mistake!"
Everyone followed the prestige and saw Shinichi Kudo, who hadn't appeared for a long time, standing at the door of the study.
"Is it finally here?" Unlike the surprised crowd, Xingchen was faintly excited in his heart, just like facing a small boss at the end of the game when playing a game.
"Where did you go? I thought something had happened to you! Do you know how worried I was about you?"
"Xiaolan, you wait. It's over in a moment. ”
A woman who is a reasoning maniac must always be ready to give in to reasoning.
"Hey, you kid suddenly said 'I'm mistaken', do you want to overturn my previous reasoning?" Heiji asked Shinichi, who suddenly appeared and denied his brilliant reasoning.
"I'm just going to tell you that your reasoning just now is just on paper, and it's 100% impossible!" At this moment, although Shinichi's face was a little cold, he overwhelmingly defeated Heiji in momentum.
"Relying on momentum to solve crimes, isn't this the usual move of Yuantai?It seems that Conan has also learned a lot in the Young Detective Corps!" Xingchen muttered quietly from the side.
