【Chapter 155】Clearing the clouds and seeing the sun

Conan saw that Ji Haihong was so anxious, and he knew in his heart that his curiosity had indeed been abducted by himself. Quietly dragging out the conversation, he happily observed Ji Haihong's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, he cleared his throat: "Actually, this is thanks to the inexplicable trap, which told me how the prisoner made an alibi." ”

Ji Haihong's brain processor, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, didn't react, and it took a while to understand what Conan meant: "I see, if the prisoner killed Uesugi Mori with some kind of trap, but he is somewhere else, then he has a perfect alibi, and the prisoner is really a thoughtful person." ”

"You mean to say that the prisoner set up two traps in order not to miss a shot, and if one of the traps fails for some reason or fails, then he can call Mr. Uesugi Mori to another place to kill him, right?" Conan is very cute and caresses his goofy hair.

Ji Haihong nodded happily, thankfully, he finally felt that his IQ was back.

Unlike Ji Haihong's excitement, Conan was silent, he saw Ji Haihong so excited, he wanted to stop talking, and finally decided that he didn't plan to hit his self-confidence.

In fact, it's not easy to follow Conan to mix the truth, not to mention murder cases all day long, and it doesn't matter if you encounter danger, but the most important thing is that IQ is always suppressed. But he is such a smart child, but he is always in danger, and the onlookers whose IQ is suppressed have to spare no effort to save him......

Sure enough, the dragon set is the life of the anti-fall under the protagonist! (Ji Haihong, don't be discouraged, you have more opportunities to crush ♂ others on **)

"So what kind of trap did the prisoner set to kill Mr. Uesugi? How do you determine the prisoners? Where are the tools of the crime? Ji Haihong asked a series of key questions.

"That's a good question, although these questions are pointless now," said Conan, "but I can tell you responsibly that the thing that strangled Mr. Uesugi has sunk into the sea, don't be discouraged, the prisoner still has one crucial thing to wait and see." ”

Conan climbed onto his desk piled high with papers, padded a few thick books, and reached for something on top of the chandelier.

"Sure enough," Conan asked, asking about the taste on his hands, "now we can go to the deck, I wonder what Uncle is reasoning about now." ”

……

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today, my detective Mori Kogoro will find the culprit here, so as to pay tribute to Mr. Uesugi's soul in the sky, and at the same time to seek justice for Miss Uesugi who lost her father! Uncle Maori solemnly swore to the chattering passengers.

"Really?"

"Thankfully, I don't have to worry about it."

"It's worthy of Detective Mori Kogoro......"

All sorts of words reached Kogoro Mori's ears, and although people were skeptical, they managed to seize hope.

Uncle Maori listened to some words of praise and was a little fluttering. Fortunately, he still understood what he was here for, and cleared his throat again more majestically, he said: "After a detailed and thorough investigation and reasoning by me and the Twilight Police Department, I found out that the suspect is Kazuo Eguchi!" It's you, who killed Mr. Uesugi Mori! ”

All the passengers were in an uproar, and Kazuo Eguchi's face was pale and he stared at Kogoro Maori incredulously.

"How is this possible! How could I be a murderer! Kazuo Eguchi, who came to his senses, argued for himself.

The Twilight Police Department asked in a cautious whisper, "Brother Maori, is it okay?" Was it really Kazuo Eguchi who did it? ”

Uncle Maori shook his hand, full of confidence: "Don't worry, police department, I have seen the alibi of the prisoner!" ”

"What evidence do you have! I'll go to a lawyer if you frame me! Kazuo Eguchi was a little angry.

Uncle Maori turned around and pointed at Kazuo Eguchi in a dashing manner: "Of course there is evidence, that is, you cleverly used the time difference to create an alibi, I investigated everyone, and found that after Ashikaga Shuchen took a picture of you, no one had communicated with you, plus the environment was relatively chaotic at that time, you can take this opportunity to come to Mr. Uesugi Mori's office and kill Mr. Uesugi Mori!" ”

"It's all your own speculation! Nonsense! Why should I kill Uesugi Mori! Even if he and I are competitors, we are not enemies! Kazuo Eguchi was a little panicked, inexplicably blamed, and it sounded like he did have a motive, and it was fake not to panic.

"It's true that as a competitor, you really have no reason to kill Uesugi Mori, but what if it's for family trivialities? I've heard that you've been deliberately letting Uesugi Mori suppress Eguchi Firin's company and accept orders from Eguchi Firin's at a higher price than usual, right? Mori Kogoro said.

"This ...... That's right! But why should I kill Uesugi Mori! ”

"Because although Uesugi Mori promised you, he secretly took good care of Eguchi and did not raise the price for him, causing Eguchi Feilin's company to become bigger and bigger, and even threatened you, so you have a grudge and want to get rid of Uesugi Mori, and by the way, you will also get rid of competitors." Kogoro Maori told all his reasoning.

"So, why don't I kill Eguchi Hirin, but Uesugimori?" Kazuo Eguchi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Because you don't want the matter to be revealed, God killed Uesugi Mori unknowingly, and then squeezed your son's company, this is your ultimate goal." Uncle Maori smooths his beard.

"You bastard!" Eguchi Feilin, who had been staying quietly beside him, suddenly burst out, rushed to Eguchi and gave him a punch fiercely, "Old immortal!" I should have killed you a long time ago! ”

The police immediately separated them, and Kazuo Eguchi was already paralyzed in fright: "It's not me! It's not me! Please believe me, I'm not the only one on this ship who has an enmity with Uesugi Mori! ”

"What?" The Twilight Police Department and Uncle Maori were stunned.

"That Wada Tomie! She has conflicts with Uesugi Mori, as well as ...... There are still many ......" Kazuo Eguchi was already incoherent with excitement.

Ji Haihong came to the main control room of the freighter and conveyed to the captain the "order of Detective Kogoro Mori". The captain was glad to be able to help, and immediately announced everyone to Mr. Uesugi Mori's room by radio.

There was already a mess on the deck, and for no other reason, it was because of Mori Kogoro's inexplicable reasoning that he couldn't find key evidence, so everyone was in danger, for fear of being considered a suspect. When they heard the announcement, "Mr. Kogoro Mori invited people to the guest room of Chairman Uesugi", many people felt very strange.

"Brother Maori, what are you doing?" The Twilight Police Department has been overwhelmed by the case.

At this time, Conan ran over: "Uncle! Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you to solve the case! ”

Mori Kogoro didn't react at all—or Conan didn't give him a chance to react at all—and he shoved him into Uesugi Mori's office.

Then he was "beeped" in the face as a matter of course.

"Brother Maori, this is ......" The Muji Police Department and others who came later found that Kogoro Maori had already sat on the office chair of Uesugi Mori in a sleeping appearance.

Conan hid behind his office chair to adjust his voice, and Ji Haihong was on the side preparing to cooperate with the battle.

"Well, the Dusk Police Department, I already know the identity and modus operandi of the criminal." Conan had long imitated the tone of Maori Kogoro, after all, people are experienced people.

Everyone, including the suspected passengers, the police, and Hoshino Uesugi, were surprised, and various reactions ensued. Some people are pleasantly surprised, some people are very surprised, some people are relieved, and some people are silent.

The hallway outside the room was also full of passengers, all wondering how things were going to turn out.

"That's right, the one who caused this tragedy and created the proof of the perfect abnormality is you! Ashikaga Shuchen! ”

The name exploded in the heads of the onlookers, and the first thing that came to their mind was "impossible"! Yes, it is indeed impossible, because Ashikaga Shuchen and Uesugi Mori do not know each other, how can there be a motive for killing?

The crowd of onlookers thought so, but the police didn't have the time to desert. Officer Takagi simply handcuffed Ashikaga Shuchen, and Ashikaga Shuchen hurriedly defended: "You guys are mistaken! Not me! ”

"Stop quibbling, Ashikaga Shuchen, I've seen through your methods."

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Brother Maori, how did you confirm that he was a prisoner?" ”

"Speaking of which, it was Conan and Ji Haihong's encounter in the warehouse that inspired me a lot, I wondered, could the prisoner have created some traps and just waited for Uesugi Mori to take the bait?"

"However, Uesugi Mori has a strong sense of precaution, and he died in his own room, who will have the opportunity to set a trap in this room?"

"So, this incident may be committed by an acquaintance, but according to my understanding, before the crime, these heavyweight guests all entered Uesugimori's room - except for Mr. Williams, although he left early during the fireworks show, but he was accompanied by a secretary, according to the testimony of the cleaning staff, Mr. Williams did not leave his room."

"So, why Ashikaga Shuchen?"

"Let's talk about the trap first," Conan said with an old habit, "I used to overlook one place, and that is why the prisoner killed Uesugi Mori between six and half past six? There are plenty of opportunities to get him on this ship today, and now I understand, Officer Twilight, please open the porthole and look down. ”

"Oh." Officer Twilight opened the porthole and looked down, only to see the blue sea.

"Of course you can't see anything, because that little thing is clinging to the ship, and you can't see it from your angle, and I've arranged for David to go to that thing."

Just in time, David walked into the room with a plastic bag from the forensic department, which contained a black metal object.

"What is this?"

"This is a photometer, to be precise, it is a kind of DIY light sensing mechanism, when you feel the direct light, there is a small switch, it will be tightly closed, when the light is not there, the mechanism will be opened, the suspect installed a suction cup behind this device, which is used to fix it on the hull."

"Does this device have anything to do with the cause of Uesugi Mori's death?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko helped Uesugi Hoshino out of here, the two of them were very caring, and in order not to make their friends more sad, they had to do this.

"This device can clamp a rope, the prisoner tied an object weighing more than 100 catties to a section of the rope, and then fixed it to the hull of the ship with this device, and then wrapped the rope at this end through the porthole, with the help of the ceiling lamp and the bookcase, made a conspicuous but hidden trap, conspicuous because anyone can see this rope, hidden because no one knows what this rope is for."

Officer Twilight asked, "But if you do this, won't Uesugi Mori be suspicious?" ”

"So the prisoner used an excuse to dispel Uesugi Mori's suspicions, at first I saw that there were no curtains in this house, and I thought that the freighter was prepared in a hurry, and then I asked Conan to ask the secretary, only to find out that the lack of curtains was Ashikaga Shuchen's suggestion, saying that it was not good lighting when taking pictures, since this can be suggested, it is normal to use other excuses to send an inconspicuous rope."

After listening to Maori Kogoro's reasoning, Ashikaga Shuchen's expression obviously changed a little, at least it was no longer the calm appearance he had before.

"So, how exactly does this trap start?"

"It's very simple, use a mechanism with a photometer to fix the rope with a heavy object so that the rope does not fall, and Ashikaga Shuchen is also fully aware of Uesugi Mori's schedule, because his identity is a reporter, right, Ashikaga Shuchen?"

"You're talking nonsense again! This is my business, and you say that I committed a crime, where is the evidence! ”

"Evidence? It's easy, it's in your camera. ”

"What!" All eyes were on the camera on Ashikaga Shutashi's chest.

"You knot the rope on this side into a sleeve, put it on the top of the bookcase where no one can see it, and wrap the rope around the chandelier, and when the sun sets, the trap will be activated, but this trap has a flaw, that is, the rope around the chandelier is easy to rub when it turns, which causes the speed to slow down, so you install the film reel on the chandelier...... No, the film reel can't accommodate a rope, I think you should have replaced the reel with a horizontal axis, disguised it as a reel and put it in the film, after the crime was successful, you secretly retrieved the horizontal axis, because the police might check the belongings, you put the horizontal axis into the film again in order not to make people suspicious, and then put it into the camera, the evidence is that there is still the camera lubricant left on the chandelier, and when the test results of the forensics department come out, everything is revealed......"
