Chapter 7: Love Letters
Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth to answer the student's confusion: "If you use some props to assist, it will not leave fingerprints, such as the edge of the hairpin on the girl's head, the edge of the badge of the brooch, as long as it is hard enough to press the keyboard, these hard objects with a smooth surface can press the keyboard without leaving fingerprints to type text, even if the fingerprints are firmed later, there is no result, even if it accidentally leaves a very slight scratch, it can also be explained that the deceased poked it with the tip of his fingernail during daily use." β
Mito took a look at Kudo Shinichi, and it was a little easier to have a detective on his side to help.
"Liar! These are just your quibbles, what evidence do you have to prove what you say? β
Mihoko Shimomura's face is still resentful, but it is no longer the same anger as when she first identified the murderer, but with panic, the situation is beyond her control.
"What number keys, bloodstains, are just your wishful thinking explanations and frames!"
"Maybe it's because Reya knows that you know Fukuzawa Yukichi, so she deliberately marked Fukuzawa Yukichi on the text message!"
"Do you think that just by relying on such a nonsense statement, you can clear your suspicions, no, you are a murderer!"
"You cops won't believe it, it's all a coincidence."
Shimomura Mihoko looked at the Metropolitan Police Department police, the few people who were still indignant before had been confused by the testimony, and Officer Twilight coughed, and his attitude towards Mito Moon was not as tough as before.
Officer Twilight hesitated, "Mito-san, your reasoning...... Speculation is wonderful, but if it's just this kind of detail, it won't clear your suspicion. β
As he spoke, Officer Twilight looked at Mihoko Shimomura again.
That's right, Mito Moon didn't clear his suspicions, but his words made Mihoko Shimomura next to him suspicious.
"Shimomura-san, I think you will need to go to the police station with us to do an investigation later.
Officer Twilight's words caused an uproar around them.
"How to clear suspicion...... Mito Moon stared at Reya Hanabuchi's body, and then looked at the photo that Mihoko Shimomura had taken out before, "No, it's evidence that Mihoko Shimomura is the murderer, I have it." β
Mito Tsuki's tone was not high, but the words she spoke were loud.
"Mito-san, what evidence do you have?" Officer Twilight became anxious.
Shimomura Mihoko forced her composure: "Evidence, what evidence, don't spew blood." β
"You're looking for something." Mito Moon stared into Shimomura Mihoko's eyes, "After killing someone, I was looking for something, so the clothes on Hanabuchi Reya's body were a little messy, and that kind of thing was logically carried by Hanabuchi Reya. β
"I, I, I don't understand what you're saying." Shimomura Mihoko's face was whiter than before, and looking at Shimomura Mihoko's face, Mito Moon was even more sure in her heart.
Officer Twilight was determined to make the most of his qualities as a police officer and not let Mito finish his words, so he spoke, "Mito-san, are you pointing out that Reya Hanabuchi's clothes have been carefully rummaged through?" β
"That's right, Shimomura-san's action of rummaging through the body was blamed on me, and I faked the crime scene where I was looking for photos, but in fact, I can think about it the other way around."
Mito Moon narrowed his eyes: "In the process of rummaging through clothes, if you are not careful, you will leave a guide, so you can only rummage through non-direct contact methods, such as finding a stick, if I am really a suspect, it is really understandable to do such trouble, because I can't let the photo continue to stay at the scene, so I have to rummage at the risk of leaving traces." β
"But Shimomura-san has already designed a routine for me, so I don't have to risk leaving a guide to fake and rummage the scene in one move, any extra move is ...... ulterior motives."
"The only explanation is that Shimomura-san is indeed looking for something, there is something that she is willing to take a risk to find, not to mention whether she found it or not, and one of the final results is that she cleverly planted the scene for me."
Shimomura Mihoko was already speechless, she looked at Mito Moon gloomily, and said after a long time: "Boring speculation, since you said that I killed the person, and the evidence and evidence were all forged by me, then what am I looking for?" β
"Yes, Mito-san, Shimomura...... According to your speculation, what are you looking for? β
Officer Twilight could voice everyone's doubts.
The eyes of the crowd are all focused on Mito Tsuki, who seems to have forgotten their fear when they heard about the murder and now only wants to watch Mito Tsuki's reasoning show.
"It's so handsome." Suzuki Sonoko, who was beside Mao Lilan, held his heart in both hands, revealing a standard snail smile.
"Of course, what she is looking for is an item that will reveal her identity, you can push it back, this item must have such several attributes."
Mito Moon was calm like a bystander, not a teenager who had been falsely accused of a murderer before: "First, it should be able to carry it with you. β
"Second, this item is special."
"Third, this item will inevitably reveal the identity of Mihoko Shimomura."
"Fourth, in common sense, there is a reason why Hanabuchi Reya will carry it with him."
"Fifth, according to the third ability, it can be deduced that this item has a connection with the location of the reading room."
Five inferences about things, each time one is spoken, Mihoko Shimomura's face becomes more ugly.
"Shinichi, what did Mito-san say?" Mao Lilan couldn't figure out the joints and asked Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi smiled bitterly: "The conditions are too few, and I haven't mastered all the conditions yet, but if there are five conclusions, the scope of that item is not large." β
Mito looked at Officer Twilight, "Officer Twilight, can I go find something?" β
"Okay, are you going back to the classroom?"
"No, it's around here."
Mito walked to where she had been sitting in the reading room, then limped slightly to the bookshelf to the side.
Following his memories of last night, he paused two-thirds of the length of the bookshelf.
"It's here."
Mito's fingers swept over the spine of the books that were standing, and finally stopped at one book.
"Love Letter, did you just hide things here, it's really ......" Mito took out a love novel with the word "Love Letter" written on the cover.
This is a novel written by an unknown writer in the world of Conan, and it is a romance novel.
Mito has no interest in romance novels, so she never reads them.
"It's ......"
"What a boring pun game."
"Whoa!"
Mito slowly flipped the pages of the book and slowly pulled out two love letters from the "Love Letter".
"This is what you're looking for, you've forged itβa love letter I wrote to Reya Hanabuchi."
"Boom." Shimomura Mihoko sat down on the ground with a thud.
