Chapter 56: The Dedication of Suspect X ends
Back to this morning.
At the same time as Ye Chen's speech this morning, the latest issue of Chaoyang Magazine was also printed and went on sale.
For urban office workers who work from 9 to 5, the morning is usually spent on the bus and subway, and the same is true for Lao Zhang.
However, Lao Zhang is in a good mood today, different from the usual numb going out to work, today's Lao Zhang is a little excited, and even gave up his precious rest time, set the alarm clock last night, got up early this morning at the alarm clock ringing, washed and dressed and went out.
"Today is the day when the serialization of "The Dedication of Suspect X" ends, I don't know what kind of modus operandi Ishigami used to play the police around, depending on the situation, the person named Yukawa should also know the truth, the duel between the two geniuses, presumably the ending must be unexpected. β
Lao Zhang thought so in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few steps quickly.
Soon, Lao Zhang saw the familiar roadside stall from afar, saying that it was a roadside stall, but it was actually more like a miniature bookstore, except that this miniature bookstore sold magazines and newspapers, as well as some children's favorite comics and so on.
It is also strange to say that Lao Zhang has only come to this roadside stall to buy magazines since he watched "The Dedication of Suspect X", Lao Zhang remembers that when he first bought magazines here, the business of this roadside stall was very deserted, and he also went here every day to buy magazines because this is the only way for him to go to work, so he could pass the time on the way to work.
This time and again, I am familiar with the old class of the roadside stall.
"Looks like a lot of people came to buy magazines today. Lao Zhang looked at the slightly crowded crowd of roadside stalls and thought to himself.
According to the owner of the roadside stall, business has been getting better in recent times, and these suddenly extra customers are all coming for a sunrise magazine, and they often buy several copies at once. For some reason, there have been so many people who have come to buy this magazine recently, and the owner of the roadside stall has been puzzled for a long time.
The owner of the roadside stall didn't understand, but Lao Zhang understood why.
Lao Zhang can be sure that these magazines must be because of the serialized novel "The Dedication of Suspect X" in Chaoyang Magazine I just went, since this very different novel began to be serialized in magazines, Lao Zhang has heard the most about this novel these days, whether it is on the subway, in the company, or on the road, you can hear passers-by discussing this novel everywhere, some discuss the plot, some argue with each other about which is more powerful, and there are also cowhide kings who claim to have seen through the whole novel.
Even Lao Zhang once discussed with a passer-by on the subway what kind of modus operandi Ishigami used to cover up the fact that Yasuko killed someone.
Thinking that he has been tossed by this novel written by a seventeen-year-old genius boy these days, he was almost late for work in front of him, and he even came early in the morning today just to buy magazines and read novels, Lao Zhang smiled bitterly in his heart.
Still, the novel deserves its own sake.
Lao Zhang felt that if he didn't figure out how Shi Shen covered up the murder, he would go crazy.
"Lao Zhang, why did you come to buy a magazine so early today. The roadside stall owner was a middle-aged man who was a little rich, and when he saw Lao Zhang, an old customer, he greeted him with a smile and handed Lao Zhang a Chaoyang magazine.
"Haha,Isn't this the end of today's novel serialization! These days, I've been tossed by this novel.,I'm absent-minded at work in the company and criticized by my boss.,I think about it all day long.,Now it's finally over.,Hurry up and buy it and finish reading it.γ Lao Zhang smiled bitterly.
"Haha, you're relaxed, but I'm miserable, once the novel is serialized, I'll have to drink the northwest wind again. The old roadside stall said miserably.
Hearing this, Lao Zhang comforted: "Don't worry, think about how old this author is, only seventeen years old, it will definitely not be long before a new novel will be published." β
"I hope so. The roadside stall owner said worriedly.
After a brief chat with the roadside stall owner and the payment, Lao Zhang couldn't wait to walk towards the subway station with the magazine.
Lao Zhang wanted to look at it immediately, but after thinking about it, he was still worried that he would be late if he was fascinated, so he waited for the subway.
After waiting for a while, Lao Zhang finally got on the subway, because Lao Zhang came early today, so there are still many seats on the subway, Lao Zhang found a place to sit down, and then took out the magazine and began to browse.
Soon, Lao Zhang turned to the novel part of "The Dedication of Suspect X" in the magazine, Lao Zhang was suddenly a little reluctant to read it, such a good-looking novel, after reading it, it was gone, Lao Zhang felt a little conflicted, but in the end he couldn't withstand the temptation of the finale.
"I hope the ending doesn't disappoint me, and I hope the author can go on well. Lao Zhang thought to himself.
Lao Zhang's eyes turned to the text and began to read it carefully.
The clock pointed to the beginning of the morning at thirty o'clock. Ishigami walked out of the house with his briefcase, and in his briefcase, there were the things he cared about the most in this world."
He blurted out and stopped. β
The other party didn't stop. Not only that, but she walked towards him with a smile on her face. The other party came to the stone god and finally stopped. β
"Early. Yukawa said.
Seeing this, Lao Zhang took a deep breath, Lao Zhang had a hunch, this should be a showdown between Tang Chuan and Shi Shen, trump card to trump card, in the end, whether Shi Shen can help Yasuko escape this murder case is in this critical conversation, Lao Zhang is a little excited, and a little contradictory. From the emotional trigger in his heart, Lao Zhang is inclined to the stone god, so he doesn't want to see Tang Chuan expose the stone god, because this means that Tang Chuan won, but reason told Lao Zhang that he wants to see Tang Chuan expose the stone god, after all, no matter what, Yasuko still killed someone, and should be judged by the law, and this can also make him understand what kind of technique the stone god used, with such a mentality, Lao Zhang continued to look down.
"At that time, you said that when you see those homeless people, you think that they live their lives as accurately as clocks. Do you remember?"
"Yes. People get rid of the clock and do that β that's what you say?"
Yukawa nodded in satisfaction. β
"There are no useless gears in this world, and only the gears themselves can determine their own use, that's what I want to say. Yukawa fixed his gaze at Ishigami, "Are you going to resign from your teaching position?"
Lao Zhang was a little puzzled, he completely felt that his IQ was no longer enough, the confrontation between the two geniuses was not incomprehensible at all, and what special meaning was there for the repeated gears?
The plot continues to develop.
"It has nothing to do with alibi. Yukawa said quietly.
"What?"
"Grass and childish, they are only thinking about overturning the suspect's alibi. They firmly believe that if they can find a loophole in Yasuko Hanaoka's alibi, as long as she is the real murderer, they can find out the truth sooner or later. If you are an accomplice, just investigate your alibi in passing, and they think they will break down your defenses. β
"I don't understand why you're saying that. Ishigami continued, "From the standpoint of the criminal police, it should be a matter of course to do that. Of course, as you say, only if she is the real murderer. β
Yukawa smiled again when he heard this.
"One of the interesting things that Grass Childe told me was about the way you put out the exam questions, targeting the blind spots of self-righteousness. For example, what looks like a geometric problem is actually a function problem, and it dawned on me when I listened to it. This question is more effective than for students who do not understand the nature of mathematics and are accustomed to solving according to formulas. At first glance, it seems to be a geometric problem, so the students try desperately to step in that direction, but they can't solve it, only time passes by the second. It is indeed a bad heart to say that it is a bad heart, but it is very effective to test the real strength. β
Seeing this, Lao Zhang vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't say it, Lao Zhang who said that he was not a logical genius like Yukawa Shishen, Lao Zhang suddenly felt very admired for these two people, and admired their calmness and strong logical ability from beginning to end.
I don't know how the stone god will react, Lao Zhang thought to himself.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Grass and childish them," Yukawa replied with a serious expression, "I thought that the topic this time was to dismantle alibi, because the most suspicious suspect insisted that there was an alibi." It's no wonder they're like that, and that alibi looks shaky. Once this clue is found, of course, we will want to attack from where to start, this is human nature, and this is also the case when we do research, but in the world of research, we often find that the so-called clue is actually completely wrong to find the line of defense. They fell into that trap as well. No, maybe it's being led into a trap. β
Lao Zhang's heart was full of turbulence, it turned out to be like this, if what Tang Chuan said was true, then Shi Shen asked Yasuko from the beginning to say that the seemingly flawed alibi of watching a movie in the cinema was deliberate, and it was a trap for Shi Shen from beginning to end, if this is the case, then Shi Shen is too terrible, one step is seven steps, and he completely played with the police in applause, I didn't expect that mathematics and logic can also be used in crimes, people like Shi Shen should be monitored by the government, otherwise such a person is a genius even if he commits a crime, and Tang Chuan is also terrifying, Lao Zhang has some palpitations, fortunately, this is just a novel, there should be no such person in realityοΌ
"Not far from the scene of the corpse, a pile of clothes belonging to the suspected victim was burned. Yukawa began to say as he followed, "The police found an unburned pair in a bucket-high canister, and it is believed that the murderer did it." When I first heard about this, I wondered why the killer didn't wait until his clothes were completely burned before leaving? They seemed to think that the killer might want to leave as soon as possible. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be nice to just take the clothes away first and deal with them slowly afterwards? Or if the murderer misjudged the situation, one of them should burn it out faster? After thinking about it at first, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, so I decided to actually burn it. β
Ishigami stopped again, "You burned your clothes?"
"I fired it in a bucket high tank. Jackets, sweaters, trousers, socks, and underwear. I bought it at a second-hand clothes store, but I still lost a lot of blood in my purse. Unlike mathematicians, we don't give up if we don't do an experiment. β
"The result?"
"The clothes were burning with toxic gases," Mr. Yukawa said, "and they were all burned." It's over in the blink of an eye, and it's less than five minutes. β
"So what?"
"Why didn't the murderer wait even five minutes?"
"It's terrible, Ishigami has crushed his IQ, I didn't expect this Yukawa to be too, the most terrifying thing is that Yukawa, a person who doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter at all, has done so many things just because he treats Ishigami as an imaginary enemy. But what made Lao Zhang wonder was why the murderer refused to wait even five minutes?
"Even the deceased's face remembers the disfigurement, but forgets to wipe the fingerprints off the bicycle, this person is too confused. But if the murderer deliberately left it, then that's another matter, what is the purpose of the murderer?"
"What do you think?"
"I think I want to connect the bicycle to the victim. If the police believe that the bicycle has nothing to do with the murder, it is not good for the murderer. β
