Chapter 276: Reasoning Requires Professionalism
"Officer!"
A police officer hurriedly ran into the duty room: "Poison has been detected from the blood of the deceased!" ”
"The name of the poison is tetrodotoxin, and the injection site is the inside of the upper arm of the right hand, which is deep into the artery......"
"Tetrodotoxin?!"
"Right arm?" Gao Cheng frowned, unlike others who cared about tetrodotoxin, the injection site on the right side further corroborated his speculation.
Tetrodotoxin is a highly toxic poison that is unique to Japan and is usually found in the body of puffer fish, and can cause food poisoning if not handled properly.
Most of the poisoning symptoms that are ingested through the mouth do not progress quickly, but if they are injected directly into the bloodstream, they will cause nerve paralysis in a short period of time, and eventually die of respiratory failure......
However, Shimizu Takaho was in contact with the gangster man before the battle began, and if he was poisoned at that time, it would be impossible for the gangster to fight so fiercely, not to mention the super-fast gorgeous combos, and even the hands and feet may be quite difficult.
There was also a murder weapon used to commit the crime, but nothing resembling a needle or syringe was found at the scene, and it was impossible for the murderer to still have it with him......
Gao Cheng checked the scene video again, staring carefully at Zhishui Gaobao's movements, his tall figure blocked his vision, and he couldn't see it clearly, but it looked even more suspicious.
The whole detail flashed in Gao Cheng's mind, from the time Zhishui Gaobao touched the deceased to the time he left, from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle when he found out that the deceased was abnormal, the continuous pictures were filtered one by one, leaving only the different moments when the game character suddenly stopped attacking and stood on the big screen......
A bright light flashed, and the whole case was clearly displayed in front of Gao Cheng.
All the actions of Zhishui Gaobao are completely understood.
All that's left is to verify......
The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth rose slightly, taking advantage of the gap between Takagi and leading the team to find the murder weapon in the video game city, he came to Twilight's side and whispered a few words, and then found the waiter alone and returned to the scene of the murder.
Zhishui Gao Bao chewed gum, looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously, and thought of Gao Cheng's identity as a famous detective, his brows furrowed slightly: "Could it be ...... No way? ”
"Police Department!" Takagi reported to Twilight after the search, "I've searched this floor, but I still haven't found any murder weapons like needles......"
"No?" Twilight wondered, "According to the surveillance footage, all the suspects were here and no one left until we arrived here......
"The murder weapon is likely to be on the murderer."
"Officer," Shimizu Takasu smiled disapprehantly, "It's okay if you want to search your body, but Oto died in the battle with me, and I don't have a chance to block him, so it's a little unreasonable to continue to suspect me, right?" ”
"There's no need for a body search."
Gao Cheng and Conan walked to Twilight's side together and looked at Shisui Takabao with a smile: "Uncle only approached the left side of the deceased, it is impossible to commit murder, and it is impossible for Mr. Dejima, because the deceased talked to Mr. Shisui well afterwards." ”
"Hmph," Zhishui Gaobao's eyes trembled slightly, and he continued to chew gum, "Do you want to say that the murderer is this foreign woman?" She's indeed on Oto's right......"
"Of course not," Gao Cheng interrupted, "I said before that Teacher Judy did not have the strength to commit the crime, and it is not clear on the video that Teacher Judy had contact with the deceased......"
"Hey," Shisui snorted, "You don't want to say that the murderer is me, do you?" Didn't I say that? Oto died in a battle with me......"
"Really?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Shimizu Gao Bao and asked rhetorically, "In other words, was Oto really poisoned in the battle?" ”
Zhishui's face was ugly, and his forehead was full of sweat: "What do you mean by this, Detective Chenghu?" You should have seen that too, right? I was beaten up by that guy in the fight, because he was halfway through and I escaped. ”
The surrounding audience also followed the discussion, curiously looking at Gao Cheng who confronted Zhishui, the detective detective case in reality was unexpectedly very attractive, full of doubts and waiting for Gao Cheng to explain.
"That person is right, why can't it be a murderer?"
"Yes, you can't poison it when you fight."
"Did Oto really die halfway there?" Gao Cheng stared at Zhishui and asked repeatedly, "Or, is it really Oto beating you?" ”
"Huh?"
"What if it was Sato, who was already unconscious at the time, who was beaten?" Gao Cheng smiled, "It's true that Caesar is Sato's usual character, but who said that he chose the boxing man in that game just now?" ”
"W-What do you mean?" Zhishui's gaze tightened, his heartbeat increased sharply, and his blood continued to surge.
"At the time of the crime, everyone took it for granted that Oto, who was known as 'Rice Flower Caesar', chose Caesar, and Lucas, who had 'Cupto Lucas'," Gao Cheng said lightly, "This game has no health display, and you can't tell who's who is on the big screen, so even if you swap roles, no one will pay attention......"
Twilight opened her mouth wide: "Is it ......?"
"That's right, Oto was stabbed by Mr. Shisui with a poisonous needle before the battle, and during the battle, he either died or fell into a coma due to a toxic attack, and puffer fish poison can cause paralysis of the whole body, even if he is alive in the battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to even sit."
Gao Cheng walked to the fighting game machine.
"The reason why Oto's hands and feet are still moving during the battle is actually because of the game console itself, and when he is attacked, his hands and feet will swing with it, and it looks as if Oto is still playing a game, and there is a protective gear to fix his body, and the light is dim, so it doesn't look suspicious.
This is the trick used by Mr. Shimizu, who walks to Oto's side before facing the station, pretends to chat with his back to the monitor, and stabs the poison needle into Oto's armpit, ending the previous game while the other party is struggling, and starting another game again with a new character......
"Then, as long as you go back to your game console and choose Oto's usual Caesar character to join the game, so that the people watching the battle in front of the big screen won't suspect it at all if they don't run to see the game console, I think, the reason why the attack was stopped at the last minute is not only to create the illusion that Oto was killed in the middle of the game, but also to worry that the word YOU LOSE will appear on Oto's game screen and be seen by the audience close to the corpse, right?
"If it's a tie, the graphics will be the same, and the game will end immediately, and no one will know which character Oto used anymore......"
Judy stood beside Xiaolan with her arms crossed, quietly watching Gao Cheng reason, a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"What about the murder weapon?" Zhishui listened to Gao Cheng's reasoning, his face was gloomy, "What if I can't find the murder weapon on my body?" ”
"Of course, you can't find the murder weapon, because the murder weapon is not on you at all."
Gao Cheng turned to the crowd of onlookers: "Can you please look at the soles of your shoes now?" That poisonous needle should be right at someone's feet. ”
"What?"
"Won't it?"
Everyone present raised their feet to check when they heard this, and a fat man with a big belly said in horror in the noise: "What is this?" ”
The police separated the crowd, took the fat man to the middle, took off one of the shoes, and carefully removed the foreign object on the sole.
A cigarette with a poison needle stuck to the wrapper along with the chewing gum was so flat that it was hard to detect without looking up.
"There really is!"
"I'm afraid this is set up by Mr. Zhishui when he picks up the lighter, and the guests gathered in front of the big screen can take the murder weapon away no matter who steps on it, because it is flattened in advance, it will not attract attention if it is stepped on, and even if it is found, it will only think that it is garbage thrown into the trash can."
Gao Cheng looked at Zhishui: "As for whether the puffer fish poison of the needle was wiped off in advance to prevent passers-by from being injured by mistake, it is not clear......"
"Hmph," Zhishui suddenly laughed, "You shouldn't think I'm a murderer because of this thing, right?" The cigarette and the gum weren't the same as the one I was wearing, and ......"
"And there's absolutely no way to get your fingerprints, right?" Gao Cheng said calmly, "You should have found cigarettes and chewing gum randomly from this playground, and hid them in the cigarette case after you made your hands and feet in the bathroom, and pressed them from the bottom of the cigarette case when you need them, and you are holding them between two fingers without leaving fingerprints......
"But I didn't expect to have your fingerprints on it."
"Huh?" Zhishui looked puzzled.
At this time, the forensic officer came over and said, "Detective Chengto, I have already compared, and that coin is indeed Mr. Zhishui's fingerprints." ”
Zhishui's fingers trembled, and he looked at Gao Cheng and the forensic personnel tightly: "What's going on?" ”
"Mr. Zhishui, didn't you think of it too?" Gao Cheng smiled, "You need to put coins to restart the game, and you threw in a coin when you helped Oto re-choose the character, and you didn't expect it beforehand, because Mr. Dejima just cleared the coin box before you came, and now there are only two coins in it."
"Yes, one is Oto's, and the rest is voted by the murderer, how did it leave your fingerprints?"
