Chapter XVIII Facts
The police were reacting to the guests present, and none of the three athletes were detected, of course not, because the murderer was not stupid.
Conan Edogawa is already looking for evidence, and he will definitely find evidence to prove that Ray Katis is not the murderer.
"Have you searched the bodies of all three of them?" Heiji Hattori asked Officer Otaki.
"I just did a simple body search for them," Officer Otaki said, "but at the time, the agents around them were so desperate." Or do you really believe the girl's version of the message of death? ”
"Hmm." Hattori Heiji nodded, "That's what I thought. Richard had long been suspected of playing a game before he was able to retire with a reputation of no defeat. Ray was also banished from European football on suspicion of drug use. Mike divorced his wife because of an affair case, but now he is married to a Japanese wife and is quite happy. All in all, their scandal was fabricated by the reporter at the beginning, and I think there is a high probability that the murderer is Ray, but there is no evidence. ”
"But Heiji, how do you know that he made it up?" Officer Otaki asked.
"Because they won the fight with the reporter, and the result finally proved their innocence, so in my opinion, the three of them had no reason to kill the reporter at all." Edogawa Conan said.
"That's right." Officer Otaki said.
Heiji Hattori looked at Conan Edogawa: "Kudo, what's wrong with you?" You're so wrong today. ”
On the other side, Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran were in the party hall.
"What's the matter, a good drinking party, it's all messed up by the murder. I don't want to draw a signed souvenir from the three of them. Maori Kogoro complained.
"Xiaolan, you can get the autograph before the crime, it's really lucky." Toyama and Ye said.
"By the way, why haven't you seen Hattori and Conan all the time?" Maoriran asked.
Yuanshan and Ye said: "The two of them, they have been following Officer Otaki since just now, and they are helping to investigate the case." ”
"They're helping to investigate the case," Moriran was surprised, "and Conan is really, too." ”
"Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about being like this, anyway, the murder guns have been found, and the murderer will be caught soon."
"Is that so?"
"Of course, after all, now Hattori Heiji is assisting in the case." Toyama and Ye said.
On the side, Maori Kogoro secretly listened to the conversation between the two.
Heiji Hattori and Conan Edogawa came to the scene of the crime.
Heiji Hattori observed and thought that the elevator in this hotel was completely unusable until it opened. In other words, they can only move up and down stairs to move here. The location of the rooms on each floor is the same, and the light switches are also in this place. There are no traces of human movement in the main switch. The only way they want to turn on and off the lights in the room is to go inside and press the switch. Wait, I remember Mike had opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains earlier. If he tied a wire to the edge of the curtain and let it open it with one pull, he could do it from a distance.
"Absolutely impossible." Edogawa Conan seemed to see what Hattori Heiji was thinking, "After the incident, I immediately checked the room where he went, and there was no trace of the wire being removed from the curtain, and there was no trace of pulling the wire on the railing. Of the three of them, Ray Katis was the closest to the scene of the crime, but after flipping the switch, he climbed up the stairs and took ten seconds to reach the scene of the murder, where Ray had injured his left knee in the past. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to commit murder in three seconds. As for Mike, because he pulled Achilles tendon and was doing rehabilitation, Ricka's feet were originally slow, so it was impossible for the three of them to commit murder in that time. ”
"I said Kudo, you're very wrong today, you've long questioned the point of view of this kind of guy who is vague about alibi, from all sides." Heiji Hattori said.
"yes, heck, even if they arrived at the scene of the murder, and the people in the room came out to answer the door after hearing the knock, and they had to add five seconds, anyway, I can't think of anything." Conan Edogawa said as he opened the cabinet in the room.
"Kudo, what's that?" Hattori Heiji said, looking at the mop in the cabinet.
Edogawa Conan took out the mop and said, "What's wrong?" It's just a mop. ”
"Will there be a mop in the hotel room?" Hattori Heiji was puzzled.
"That's not quite right." Edogawa Conan said.
The two noticed the light switch at the door, and Hattori Heiji said, "I said Kudo, now it's possible." Maybe the other two might not be able to do the murder, but if he gets used to it, he can manipulate the lighting in the room from a distance. ”
"What are you talking about? He didn't have anything like that on him, and besides, there was ...... room inside."
Before Edogawa Conan finished speaking, Hattori Heiji planned him: "Listen to what this is for yourself?" It's not a problem to bring a few of such small tools at all. ”
"If you don't talk nonsense, there will never be such a thing! I'll prove it, just wait and see. Conan Edogawa threw down the mop and rushed out of the room.
Kudo, didn't you tell me that once all the impossibilities were removed. No matter how unbelievable the facts are, they are all true. This, this is obviously what you said, Kudo. Heiji Hattori looked at the back of Conan Edogawa in the distance.
"He's just lying to himself." Ishihara Dye walked in and said.
"Why are you here?" Heiji Hattori was surprised.
"It's not important, the important thing is that Edogawa Conan must come out on his own, although it's hard to accept that his idol for so many years actually killed someone. However, no one can help him, it is a matter between them. A good detective should not be swayed by feelings. Ishihara said.
Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, looking at Ishihara Ran. Won't she also be smaller?
After Edogawa Conan rushed out of the room, he happened to see Ray Katis's agent helping him out, looking weak, that look, it was clearly ......
"Who the hell are you?" Heiji Hattori asked Ishihara Dye.
"I'm just an ordinary first-grade elementary school student," Ishihara said, waving his hand, "but my IQ is a bit high." ”
"Dizzy." Hattori Heiji has white eyes, this little kid is too narcissistic. However, her death message was indeed deduced, could there really be a genius child?
"Don't believe me with a face, do you want to give you my fingerprints, you take them and ask your police officer's father to check my identity for me." Ishihara said.
"You know a lot." Heiji Hattori said.
"Go give it to him." Ishihara Ran threw something at him.
Heiji Hattori took it and found that it was the ball needle of the football, which was exactly what he and Conan Edogawa had just discussed.
"Where did you find it?" Heiji Hattori was surprised.
"Trash cans in the sink of the men's restroom." Ishihara Ran finished speaking and left, "Ishihara will leave the rest to him." ”
Ishihara didn't want to take it out, so it's a piece of evidence. But she saw that Conan Edogawa had been lying to herself, and finally decided to give them this crucial evidence.
Of course, Ishihara never did anything at a loss, and she felt for the bullet casing of an empty revolver in her jacket pocket, and she had already got another piece of evidence. As for the ball needle, it doesn't hurt to give it to them.
Conan Edogawa ran into the bathroom where Ray Katis had just come out, but he couldn't find what he was looking for.
"That's what you're looking for." Hattori Heiji didn't know when he was already standing behind him.
Conan Edogawa took the needle, but his face was incredulous.
"Go ahead, you'll take care of the rest." Heiji Hattori said.
"Damn......" said Conan Edogawa.
In the lobby of the hotel, Ray Katis asked Officer Otaki, "Mr. Officer, can the three of us leave?" Both of them said they wanted to go back to the hotel and take a shower and relax. ”
"But ...... in that case"
"It's okay, Uncle Otaki, didn't the three of them detect the gunpowder reaction." Heiji Hattori said.
"However, the level ......"
"Until then, though, I have something to ask the three of you." Heiji Hattori said.
The three of them looked at each other, and Ray Katis asked, "Do you have something to ask us?" ”
"That's right," Heiji Hattori said, "but Ray, it's just you." Actually, there is someone waiting to see you right now. He's in the room you've been staying in, so I'll leave this matter to you. That kid is your number one fan. ”
Ray Katis walked to the room and saw Conan Edogawa.
"Oh my god," said Ray Katis, who had set up a mechanism at the door of the room at this time, which was his modus operandi.
Ishihara took one look, and the rest was up to him......
Ray Katis was killed by the newspaper reporter and his wife committed suicide, lost his family, and then was addicted to drugs by him, and then fell step by step. And the death message left by the victim was exactly what Ishihara said, and in the end, Ray Katis still went to turn himself in.
"Even if life is hard, it shouldn't be an excuse for you to take poison and kill people, and the loser is willing to receive a red card." Conan's voice from Edogawa sounded in the hallway.
"That's right, I'm a liar, a losing player, I lost this game, and I should quit, not only for my dead wife, but also for fans like you."
Ishihara sighed and left the venue, preparing to take the Shinkansen home, and I have to go to school tomorrow.
