Chapter 388: The Nasty Guy Who Manipulates the Puppet
"I didn't expect the Sentence Assembly to turn out like this...... I think that's all for today. β
The congregation watched Gao Cheng leave with the police, and their hearts were heavy.
"That's fine......
"But I've already thought about the next sentence!" Conan stopped everyone and wrote on a note, "Mine is 'Somebody hurry up and give me chocolates'......"
"Huh?" Uncle Maori's eyebrows jumped, "What kind of stuff are you writing, it doesn't look like a sentence at all!" β
"No," Reiko Ando said unexpectedly, "Conan thought of chocolate from the Ant Road, right?" This poem is childish but apt. β
Conan smiled smugly, turned to Ryosuke Shiina and said, "You're going to taste the flowers next, right?" Uncle Shiina picked up the 13th sentence. β
"Huh?"
"Hurry up, won't Uncle Shiina pick it up?"
"This ...... Well," Ryosuke Shiina wrote, picking up the note, "one day, father and daughter will be able to visit Hana-no-ji together...... What do you think? β
"It's strange," Conan said, holding up a written note next to him, "it's the same sentence Uncle Maori just read to me...... You see. β
"Huh?!"
Ryosuke Shiina's gaze shrank sharply, and he looked closely at the note in Conan's hand.
"ThisβThis is ......"
"I read it?" Uncle Maori pointed at himself in confusion, and smiled dryly in the face of everyone's puzzled eyes, "Actually, I ......"
"Click!" Before the uncle could explain clearly, an anesthetic needle was shot straight into the neck, and he staggered like a drunk and sat down in front of Conan.
"Actually, I didn't write this poem myself," Conan said as he hid behind and took out his voice changer, "It was Mr. Toonaga, who made this poem, which we met in the hall yesterday, but Mr. Ushizu wrote it down in his notebook......"
Ryosuke Shiina's face changed.
"Mr. Shiina," Conan snorted, "I think you must have thought that Mr. Ushina's own poems, and you don't think he is qualified to read such beautiful verses, so you tore this page off your notebook after killing Mr. Ushina......
"Wait, wait!" Ryosuke Shiina smiled, "Mr. Niu Yu actually showed me the poem just now, and I used it because it was just right......"
"Is that really the case?"
Gao Cheng took the Songjiang criminal police back to the courtyard: "Will Mr. Niu Wei's character show you in advance?" I've heard that he doesn't have a very good attitude towards you, and will casually reveal to you the sentences that he is going to leave for the conjunction conference? Yesterday he even drove away Mr. Tomanaga......"
"Detective Joto?!" Ryosuke Shiina looked back and saw Gao Cheng and the police, his expression was slightly shocked, "You're not ......"
"We didn't go to the Matsue Police Station, we just talked to Miss Kawaguchi alone."
Gao Cheng let go of the figure of Kawaguchi Mizujo behind him, walked to the main seat and picked up the booklet that recorded the sentences.
"When I saw you hiding words in the couplet saying that you were a murderer, I thought that if I left, I might show you your feet, and it turns out that you really took out that poem and used it, I like to describe the relationship between father and daughter, and I happened to come across this kind of sentence that says what is in your heart, it's not strange to think about it, right, Conan?"
"Hmm!" Conan came out and looked at Ryosuke Shiina, who was burying his head, "Uncle Shiina said yesterday in the hot spring bathhouse that his daughter was taken away by his wife......"
Ryosuke Shiina clutched his fingers, raised his head and smiled, "That doesn't mean anything, does it?" Hiding words in the poem is just a joke...... Besides, I had an alibi when Mr. Niu was killed! β
"Alibi?"
"Yes, I forgot to mention that around 10 o'clock, I was still in the English garden of the Terraen Art Museum, and I saw a waitress helping a lost child find his mother......"
"What you're saying can't be used as an alibi at all," Gao Cheng interrupted, "because you just need to put a camera under the bushes in the park beforehand, and in fact you don't have time to deal with the traces left by the tripod, because the staff just noticed ......you at that time."
Ryosuke Shiina looked at Gao Cheng with trembling eyes, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
"I've already asked Miss Kawaguchi about it just now," Gao Cheng turned to Kawaguchi and said, "Miss Kawaguchi, can you please tell everyone again?" β
"Good...... Good. β
Kawaguchi Mizujo lowered his head and walked in front of everyone.
"Actually, I didn't go to Songjiang Castle at first, but went directly to Tsukishoji Temple, because ...... Because I'm really worried about Yagizawa. β
"Huh?" Yagisawa looked at Kawaguchi in a daze, "Miss Mizushiro......"
"I saw Yagisawa sitting on a bus that was about to go to Matsue Castle on the bus," Kawaguchi Mizujo glanced at Yakizawa, "so I followed him to Matsue Castle, and when I walked to the bamboo forest sidewalk, I found that Mr. Ushizumi was already lying there, and there was a bottle of Yagisawa falling eye drops in front of his index finger, and I took the eye drops and immediately rushed to the samurai house......"
Reiko Ando was surprised: "The reason why you lied in Mizushiro was to help Yagisawa hide it, but why did you ......?"
"Wait a minute," Yagisawa said anxiously, "I did go to Matsue Castle without being wrong, but I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't take the sidewalk, but went to Inari Shrine in Shiroyama." β
"Inari Shrine?"
"It was Mr. Ushizu who asked me to go, and after I arrived at Tsukishoji Temple, about 30 minutes later, Mr. Ushizu sent a text message to my mobile phone, asking me to immediately go to Inari Shrine in Matsue Castle to find him......"
Yagisawa took out his phone and handed it to the police.
"I arrived at the shrine at 10:05, and then waited for another 15 minutes, but I never saw Mr. Ushizu, and I didn't answer his mobile phone, so I went back to the ...... of Tsukishoji Temple again."
"In that case," Ryosuke Shiina interjected, "and how could your eye drops be on the scene?" And who knows if you're telling the truth. β
"Mr. Yagisawa should be true."
Gao Cheng helped to speak: "Although the police did not find the text message record on Mr. Niu Lu's mobile phone, nor did they find his spare mobile phone, and just now they found the murder weapon baton and Mr. Yagizawa's raincoat in the lotus pond of Yuezhao Temple......
Gao Cheng paused and looked at Ryosuke Shiina, who had calmed down: "However, Mr. Shiina, the method you used to frame the crime is too deliberate, and it makes people even more suspicious, generally speaking, after committing a crime, there are very few murderers who will throw the murder weapon at the place where they appeared, let alone deliberately wrap it in their own raincoat......
"If it weren't for Mr. Yagizawa's maze, then there was only one possibility, someone called Mr. Yagisawa to Matsue Castle in the name of Mr. Ushizu, so that he could be his scapegoat......"
"Detective Joto," Ryosuke Shiina smiled, "Look at what you said, as if I was the ......"
"If you want evidence, we have it," Gao Cheng looked at the criminal police officer next to him, "Officer Anlai." β
"Hmm," the detective took out a pair of hiking boots in a bag of documents, "Mr. Shiina, just now, we checked Mr. Ushiba's fingerprints on the first ring of the hiking shoes you were wearing......
"What?"
"Is there anything else you have to say until now?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Ryosuke Shiina and said, "The death message left by Mr. Niu is not complicated, I just want to explain that I left fingerprints on my hiking shoes......
"Maybe you would have misunderstood it by pointing in the direction of the Teien Art Museum at first, so you took his finger off and left behind the eye drop bottle that was originally used to set up a blame."
Gao Cheng paused, and continued to face the silent Shiina Ryosuke: "One more point, that is, your self-directed and self-acting ...... at dinner yesterday"
"Self-directed?" Xiaolan was puzzled.
"It's the lottery," Gao Cheng bowed slightly, "Mr. Shiina used his hat to do a little trick when he drew lots to allocate places, first let Mr. Niu Yu draw, and then used age as an excuse to draw the second lottery, and arranged the farthest away garden art museum for himself...... At the time, I thought you were just playing magic, but I didn't expect to create an alibi for murder......"
Officer Yasui handcuffed Ryosuke Shiina, who was silent, "Come with us to the police station, Mr. Shiina." β
Ryosuke Shiina stood up silently, and when he passed by Gao Cheng's side, he suddenly stopped, sighed and smiled bitterly: "He's right, I'm not your opponent, maybe I'm not a qualified criminal......"
"Him?" Gao Cheng was puzzled.
Ryosuke Shiina didn't respond, looking at the blue sky as if he was looking away: "But to be honest, I don't regret it at all, Niu Ruined my family, even if I do it again, I will make the same choice...... Also, it's great to have a chance to have a showdown with Detective Joto like this......"
Gao Cheng frowned slightly and watched Ryosuke Shiina being taken away by the police, and he didn't relax until everyone packed up their things and left.
"What's wrong?" Conan took advantage of Xiaolan's time to wake up Uncle Maori and walked to Gao Cheng's side, "Is there any more questions?" β
"Nothing, just ......"
Gao Cheng came back to his senses.
"I feel like I might know that friend Mr. Shiina said, the nasty guy who likes to manipulate puppets...... But this time, Mr. Shiina committed almost no shadow of that guy, and in terms of that guy's personality, there won't be too many loopholes to design such an immature criminal modus operandi......"
"Haruka Takato?"
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
"I don't think so," Conan thought, "and judging by Mr. Shiina's personality, which declares himself to be a murderer in his verses, perhaps he doesn't want to be someone else's puppet to commit crimes." β
"Daddy! It's over! Xiaolan suddenly roared in the ear of Uncle Maori, who was sleeping soundly, and looked at Gao Cheng and the two in distress, "You guys also want to find a way!" β
"Huh?"
"Oh no," Conan looked at his uncle......, who was sleeping like a dead pig, with a bitter face.
"It's okay, I'll wake up after a beating," Gao Cheng grinned, "Xiaolan, come on." β
