Chapter 84: Thirty Years of Professional Floor Washing
"How else can you do that? How cunning! Henggou suddenly realized.
"That's right, Se Jing Xuanyi deliberately wore the clothes he wore when he took pictures last year, just to give people the impression that 'all the photos were taken on the same day', so even if he was sweating in the heat at the festival, he refused to take off his clothes, and he deliberately shot in the corridor today, also to let witnesses notice the time of the murder......"
"Nonsense! How can you say that the photo was taken before?! That's obviously just taken today! Shi Jingxuanyi's expression was already a little crazy, he was a person with long eyes, and he could see that he was unnatural at the moment, and his words could be called dead.
"Of course I have proof." Seeing that he reacted so violently, Conan felt more confident, and he secretly went around from behind the chair to the feet of Maori Kogoro, held his elbow, and asked him to push a picture out.
Conan acted so happily that he forgot to pay attention to his feet: when he moved like this, the rabbit balloon that had been stuffed under the chair just now suddenly popped up, and the cute big rabbit head slowly rose from behind Maori Kogoro, and the scene was a little funny for a while, and everyone present was stunned.
Xiaolan reacted the fastest, after all, this balloon was picked up by her for Conan, she immediately realized where Conan was hiding, ran quickly, and picked up Conan, "Conan! Now is the moment of truth, don't mess around! ”
“…… Let me go! Conan tried to struggle, but unfortunately his arms and legs were short, and he couldn't succeed after a long time of fluttering.
He finally gave up, looked at Xiaolan desperately and helplessly for a while, and sighed, little fool, you are here to restrain me.
Shiraki glanced at Conan, who had entered pink mode without permission, walked to the table twice, and picked up the photo that Mori Kogoro had suppressed.
This is exactly the photo with the background of the word "sky", on which Shi Jing Xuanyi didn't know what beautiful things he was thinking, he smiled very happily, and compared a scissor hand.
Because it was night, it was difficult to distinguish the brightness and darkness of his skin, but it could be seen that the color of the skin on his wrist was very uniform, and there were no traces.
Bai Shu handed the photo to Henggou, pointed to Shijing Xuanyi's wrist, and put on a sincere face, "That's what Mr. Maori wants to say, alas, he always likes to leave some small puzzles for us to solve when reasoning...... But thanks to this, my level has been able to improve continuously! ”
"I see, Mr. Mori is such a wise and interesting man!" , Henggou was amazed by this, and stared at the photo carefully without admitting defeat.
After a while, he also noticed that something was wrong, the horizontal ditch was much more direct than the white tree, and after seeing the problem, he ran over and grabbed Shijing Xuanyi's left hand and pushed his cuffs up.
- Shi Jingxuanyi was carrying a watch on his wrist, and after the watch was pushed away, a circle of obvious white marks was revealed underneath, which were the traces left by the sun: other places were tanned, and this circle was blocked by the watch and did not get sunburned.
There is no such sun imprint on the background of the word "day", and this kind of trace is not something that can be posted in just a few tens of minutes.
Henggou said this speculation, and Shijing Xuanyi, who was still very violent just now, suddenly weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, just by not having an alibi, and being his roommate of Imatake Tomo, eighty percent of them can't be convicted, and they have to find physical evidence again, or take the opportunity to check the gunsmoke reaction on his underwear.
However, in this small world, the criminal suspects are very principled, as if they are all following the basic law of "exposing themselves as soon as they are exposed".
As soon as Shi Jingxuan heard this speculation, he smiled and calmed down strangely, "It seems that I underestimated you, indeed, it was taken a year ago, and I have been determined to get rid of Jinzhu from then on and replace him in the literary world." ”
"The editor-in-chief of the Literary Times, who came just now, was originally going to serialize my work, but in the end, because Imatake was more famous, they published Imaitake's novel. This is my only hope for making it out in the literary world. I was taken away by him like this, so I am still a little writer with no status......"
That's kind of ...... Admit it?
The onlookers didn't have time to listen to his tragic story, but seeing that he seemed to have given up struggling, he hesitated to come over and handcuff him, but Shi Jingxuanyi didn't resist, just was handcuffed and left with his head down.
Yokozo hurriedly thanked Maori Kogoro and was busy dealing with the follow-up matters, while Xiaolan happily patted her father's shoulder and congratulated him on solving another mystery.
Mori Kogoro came to his senses with a yawn, puzzled, "Huh? After a while, as soon as the police were gone, they knew that they had probably solved the case in a daze, so they didn't mention it again, and the group went back to the hotel they booked, and took the car home the next day.
The car stopped at the door of the Maori Detective Agency, and Xiaolan stretched out as soon as she got out of the car, "It's so fun to come out!" It would have been better if there had been no murder...... Why don't we travel together at another location during the holidays? ”
"A trip is very expensive, so you have to stop in moderation!" , Mori Kogoro disagreed.
Shiraki was about to enter the house, but suddenly found that there seemed to be something stuffed in the mailbox, and when he took it out, he took it out and saw that it was a letter, and the postmark of Moon Shadow Island was stamped in the corner.
…… Xiaolan's luck is really unusual, saying that she wants to travel during the holidays, and she will send it to her home immediately.
Conan entered the house with his small backpack and was about to close the door, but he felt that there was no one missing, and he poked his head out to see Shiraki standing next to the mailbox, studying a piece of paper in his hand.
Looking up from the bottom up, there were several rows of intermittent, speckled shadows on the paper, and Conan was stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted: this is probably the kind of letter that was put together with bits and pieces cut out here and there to prevent revealing handwriting!
"What's written on it?" , Conan tiptoed, but unfortunately he still couldn't see it.
"It's business." , Shiraki bypassed him and entered the door and handed the letter to Maori Kogoro, "Maori sensei, there is a commission to come to the door." ”
"What's that?" , Mori Kogoro took it and looked at it, and spelled out a few lines of information in words of different sizes on the letter: [On the next full moon night, on Moon Shadow Island, the shadow will disappear again, let's investigate.]
Keiji Aso. ]
"What kind of shadow is not a shadow, whose child's prank, still make this kind of collage letter...... Tsk, the Criminal Investigation Bureau is always broadcast on TV, and the little kids are all learning badly. Mori Kogoro didn't pay much attention to it, and threw the letter into the garbage heap, looking like it was ready to be disposed of as combustible garbage.
Bai Shu didn't expect him to throw it so decisively, so many achievements! He swooped back to make a save, but a small figure came closer, already taking the letter in his hand.
Conan took the letter and looked at it for a while, and came to the opposite conclusion of Mori Kogoro, "I don't think it's like a prank, you see, the letter was indeed sent from Moonshadow Island, and it has a postmark." ”
"There is really a common language between the bear children, you can play with it if you like." , Maori Kogoro blocked him back with a word.
