"Hey, that's enough!" Looking at Yuko Ikezawa, who was becoming more and more sarcastic the more she talked, Xia Qiu immediately stepped forward to stop it, then turned her head to look at Maori Kogoro and said, "Uncle Maori, I'll leave the rest of the reasoning to me, no problem, right?" ”

"I'll leave it to you."

Maori Kogoro readily agreed, laughing, and that look like he couldn't do it at all, but as if he was handed over to his juniors.

I have to say that Uncle Maori's face is really thick-skinned, and he can't see the slightest embarrassment on his face. People who don't know his true face may still believe it.

"Why, do you suspect that I'm a murderer?" Yuko Ikezawa looked at Xia Qiu, her tone was not as fierce as before, and she was quiet.

This scene made everyone stunned, because Yuko Ikezawa faced Xia Qiu's reaction as if she was a good girl.

Conan, in particular, kept wandering his eyes on Xia Qiu and Yuko Ikezawa. He could tell that the two must have known each other, but why didn't that guy react when he heard the name Yuko Ikezawa before the person arrived?

Could it be that these two people know each other, but they don't know each other's names? Suddenly, an idea popped into Conan's mind. But that's outrageous.

"I know you're not the murderer, but she's my sister, and you're going a bit too far." Xia Qiu opened her mouth and looked at Yuko Ikezawa.

"Your sister?" Yuko Ikezawa was surprised, but then smiled a little lonely and self-deprecating, "So, what do you want me to do next?" Apologize to her? ”

"Let's wait until you calm down. An apology is meaningless if it doesn't come from a sincere heart. Xia Qiu looked at her and said, "What I want to do now is just restore the truth of the case." ”

"Really?"

Yuko Ikezawa replied without answering, sat down casually, and then casually picked up the statue lighter on the table, lit a cigarette and smoked it, looking like it didn't matter to herself.

Seeing this, Xia Qiu didn't pay attention to her, but turned her head to look at Twilight Thirteen and said, "Officer Twilight, although this case seems to be a homicide, it is actually a homicide caused by the victim's suicide. ”

"What?!"

"How is this possible? The prisoner must be Yuko Ikezawa, that's right. ”

Hearing Xia Qiu's reasoning, both Officer Twilight and Mori Kogoro were taken aback.

Although one of the two favored Yoko Okino as the murderer, and the other firmly that Yuko Ikezawa was the murderer, neither ever thought that the murderer would commit suicide.

Even Xiaolan was a surprised Yoko, only Conan had a calm and calm expression, and even the corners of his mouth outlined an arc, "Come on, let me take a good look at your reasoning!" ’

"Nothing is impossible. First of all, the victim died here, if the murderer is his sister, then the first thing he has to do is to clear his suspicion and create an alibi, instead of pushing himself into the situation of being the murderer like now. In this regard, the agent Eichi Yamagishi is the same. Xia Qiu said.

"In that case, the prisoner is Yuko Ikezawa?"

Hearing Xia Qiu say this, Officer Twilight felt that it was very reasonable, but he still did not believe that the deceased committed suicide, because that could only be regarded as indirect speculation and could not constitute direct evidence.

Therefore, he concluded that this case must be a homicide, and the judgment of the murderer was more inclined to one of the three people: Yoko Okino, Yuko Ikezawa, and agent Eiichi Yamagishi.

But now it seems that Yuko Ikezawa is the most suspicious, and her eyes immediately looked over, and the eyes that belonged to the temperament of the police suddenly startled her.

"How is that possible? Although she looks rude and willful now, she likes to fall into the stone, and she gives a bad impression, but she doesn't have the courage to kill. And I said from the beginning that the deceased was not killed, but committed suicide. Xia Qiu continued.

Hearing Xia Qiu say this, Yuko Ikezawa suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart, but then turned her head aside. Brutal and unreasonable? Is she that bad?

"This kind of thing, if you are forced to be in a hurry, it is also possible." Maori Kogoro said: "Moreover, you haven't seen the deceased, you may not know that the victim was killed by a knife in the back, if it is a suicide, then how can he stab himself in the back?" ”

"Indeed, there is no direct evidence that the three of them were not murderers. But...... I would like to ask, Officer Twilight, and Mr. Maori, was it very hot in the room when you came in? Xia Qiu asked.

"Well, that's true. Xia Qiu, is there anything wrong with this? Officer Twilight recalled that the heating was really hot when he first came in.

Moreover, at that time, he also made a special confirmation to Miss Yoko that the air conditioner was indeed turned off before she went out.

"That's right. Because if the heat of the air conditioner is used to prevent people from correctly calculating the time of death, then the murderer also has a chance to create an alibi. But this is not the case, because the temperature of the air conditioner is used by the victim to melt the ice. ”

Xia Qiu said that there is no direct evidence to prove it, so he can only indirectly prove it from other aspects.

"Ice?"

Officer Twilight and Uncle Maori became more and more confused. They did find some traces of ice, but what does that mean?

"That's right. It is a device used by the deceased to commit suicide, to make himself look as if he was killed by someone else. Xia Qiu continued: "Even though the water stains on the ice had evaporated when I came, I still felt some dampness on this wooden floor. ”

"Then how did the deceased commit suicide?"

Officer Twilight asked, as if he understood something, but his mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and it was about to be clear, but he couldn't see the essence of the incident.

"That's the kind of drama that takes place with ice and heat. After setting the air conditioner to the high temperature, the knife was fixed with ice, and then the deceased fell backwards in one breath from the only chair that had not fallen from the messy room, and finally completed his suicide. The evidence is that there is a hole in the floor next to the corpse with the handle of the knife that was fixed at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qiu looked at Conan, and then the crowd: "So, if I guessed correctly, the blade of the knife inserted in the deceased's back must be upward, aimed at the side of the deceased's head." ”

"What?"

"Nani?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Officer Twilight immediately ran to the ground and saw the hole in the handle of the knife.

However, the most surprising and incredible thing was Conan, who seemed to be frozen and froze in place. Because he didn't notice what Xia Qiu said at all.

Indeed, if he was killed, the murderer must have pointed the blade at himself when he raised the knife from behind. In this way, the blade of the knife stuck in the deceased's back should be pointed downwards instead of upwards on the side of the head.
