Chapter 9: The Sherlock Holmes Murder (6)

A heavy rain is coming.

Lan looked out the window and sighed, "It's raining so hard." ”

The soothsayer Toda said, "It's raining so hard that we won't be able to get out at dawn." Maori complained, "Really, staying up late until now, making me sleepy and hungry." Iwai Hitomi smiled, "Then I'll go make some coffee for you and get something to eat, okay?" ”

Xiaolan said, "Then I'll help you too." ”

"I'll go with you, if you girls run into danger......," said Ikuo Kawazu, "it's really not very reassuring." Kento Toba said, "Then I'll go too." ”

The four of them got up and walked together into the kitchen.

The soothsayer Toda said, "However, if the murderer is really the host, why did he deliberately pretend to be dead and then kill Miss Ayako?" Toshiaki Fujisawa slapped the table and stood up and said angrily, "Because the organizer likes to enjoy the fun of killing." As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it to Maori, "Look at this card." If I go, I'll be the one who will be killed. ”

Maori read the words on the card: "If you want that book, come to the garage at half past five in the morning, and I'll put it under the back seat of the car." Speaking of which, the garage explosion was indeed after half past four. ”

Lin Fei then asked, "When and where did you find this card?" "I saw this card under the crack in the door of my room last night before I ate." Toshiaki Fujisawa's face was ugly, after all, he had just brushed shoulders with death.

"Well, in this case, the puzzle is solved!" Lin Fei said confidently: "I know who the murderer is!" ”

"Nani?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Conan asked eagerly, "You said you know who the murderer is?" ”

"How is this possible?" Hattori couldn't believe it.

"Well! If you don't believe me, then you do what I say, and the truth will be revealed! Lin Fei said confidently.

Lin Fei whispered to the people in the living room, and as soon as he finished speaking, Xiaolan came over with something and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Ah, nothing, we're asking the detective for his crime-solving skills!" Lin Fei didn't blink his eyes when he said nonsense.

"Well! Is that the case? Xiaolan smiled.

Lin Fei said: "Of course, the Maori detective can solve the incident beautifully every time, and he also takes a sleeping position every time he solves the case, so he has the name of 'Sleeping Kogoro'." It's a veritable detective! ”

"Sleeping position?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, "Hey, come over here." As he spoke, he pulled Lan aside, "Every time Uncle reasones, where is that little ghost?" ”

Lan asked rhetorically, "Which little ghost?" ”

"It's the little ghost who goes around around you every time." Hattori Heiji picked it up and leaned over, and Conan, who was eavesdropping with his ears, smiled, "By the way, it's this little ghost." ”

"Conan?" Lan said, "When you say that, he seems to be gone all those times. ”

Heiji Hattori asked, "Really?" ”

"Yes," said Ran, "but he would often run out of the blue behind my dad and assist him in his reasoning." ”

"From behind?" Heiji Hattori lifted Conan in front of him and smiled, "Oh, help with reasoning from behind." ”

"Heh, heh." Conan spread his hands and laughed, "I like to play detective games." ”

At this time, the lights suddenly went out, and Lan said, "Is there a power outage?" It couldn't be the lightning bolt just now. ”

Hitomi Iwai said loudly, "No, it seems to have tripped." ”

"Then hurry up and open it. Damn, how to choose this time. Toshiaki Fujisawa turned on the lighter, "Hurry up, Miss Assistant, take advantage of this light." ”

Suddenly, a reflective thing appeared behind Toshiaki Fujisawa, and with the faint light of the fire, it could be seen that it was an ice chisel, and a black shadow held the ice chisel and rushed forward instantly.

Moments later, Toshiaki Fujisawa had the lighter in his hand extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness again, and he let out a scream, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, causing chaos at once.

Hitomi Iwai exclaimed, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Lan exclaimed, "It looks like the glass is broken." ”

Nanako Shimizu shouted, "Turn on the lights." ”

"Ahh This is the voice of Kento Toba.

……

After a period of confusion, the lights were turned on again, and the situation in the room suddenly surprised everyone, Fujisawa Toshiaki, who originally thought that something was wrong, was standing by the wall, while Toba Kento was pressed to the ground by Hattori Heiji and Lin Fei, he was still holding an ice chisel in his hand, and the glass on the side had been shattered.

"What's going on?" The crowd was amazed!

"As you can see, this guy is responsible for this series of events." Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Maori had tied up Toha Yanren.

"Damn, when did you find out?" Kento Toba said unwillingly.

"Well! How to say that? Lin Fei touched his chin and clapped his hands: "Let's start with the first dead host!" ”

"Everyone remembers what I said at the beginning, the prisoner can control the car remotely even if he is in the living room with some kind of mechanism!" Lin Fei began to speak.

"Well, I'm probably guessing this, the prisoner should have done it by stiffening it after death! But one thing I don't know, if he uses this method, how does he make the speed of the car increase? ”

"Listen to me slowly, his method is very simple, first he killed the organizer almost a day before now, stuffed him into the car, fixed his feet in a state of applying the brakes, and the corpse began to stiffen after half a day. Even if he starts the engine and sets it to move automatically, the car will still stop because the organizer's foot is still on the brakes. Lin Fei began to reason: "Then he went to open the garage before dinner yesterday, and then he just sat in the living room and waited slowly." When the organizer's body began to soften and the force of the brakes slowly decreased, the car that had already started naturally drove out slowly, and the other person was in the living room, which created an alibi. ”

"Nonsense," laughed Maori, "it takes forty hours after a person dies to begin to soften." ”

At this time, Conan said in a milky voice: "Hey, if the temperature rises, what will happen to the stiffness, will it stiffen faster?" ”

Lin Fei looked at Conan strangely, and while secretly sighing that people would not die if they did not die, he continued: "That's right, if the temperature around the body is very high, the stiffness and softening of the body will be accelerated, so it won't take forty hours. At thirty-five degrees, it only takes twenty-four to thirty hours for the stiff body to begin to soften. Conan said that the last time we saw the organizer was around 8 p.m. on April 30, and if he had been killed immediately after that, until about 2:30 a.m. today, May 2, we saw the car start for exactly 30 hours. The sound we heard was indeed the sound of the air conditioner in the car, but the air conditioner was not turned on, but the heating, and the towel covered on the car's control panel was for fear that when someone approached the car, the control panel showed that the air conditioner was heating on. In this way, the situation coincides. ”

"That's why they went to check the tires yesterday," Kawazu said. ”

"Yes, if you are using the air conditioner, then there should be water dripping near the front wheels." If Hattori hadn't reacted by this time, he wouldn't have been a famous detective in Kansai: "Later, as I expected, there was no trace of water on the ground at all. ”

"But with this technique, as soon as the body is examined, it will be known immediately." "That's right, that's why the organizer was designed to fall off a cliff with a car and a car, and since there is no way to find the body, there is no way to test the stiffness of the body." The soothsayer Toda asked, "Then why did the car start to accelerate in the middle of the car?" ”

Lin Fei said: "According to my guess, it may be because the car was driving on an uneven road, and the organizer's foot completely slipped off the brake plate. ”

Ikuo Kawazu said, "I see, just use this method to make the car start automatically, and then let everyone see the scene from the house." ”

The soothsayer Toda said, "Then the murderer has a perfect alibi." ”

Ran asked, "So, the reason why Mr. Toba kept Miss Ayako in the living room at that time was to let Miss Ayako see the whole process with him and become his own witness?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Heiji Hattori said, "And the only one who can keep Miss Ayako is Mr. Toba, who came with Miss Ayako." ”

"That's right, Mr. Toba looked at his watch three times and twice last night, and he seemed a little restless, and Miss Ayako asked him to go back to his room to rest and refused many times, and since then, I have begun to suspect him, but I have no evidence, so I will leave it at that." Lin Fei nodded.

"Since you suspected that Mr. Toba was the murderer from the beginning, why did Miss Ayako still die?" Xiaolan was puzzled by Lin Fei's approach at this time.

"Hehe, who said I was dead?" A voice came from outside the door, and Ayako Oki pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ayako-san!" Everyone was amazed, they didn't expect that someone who should have died would actually appear in front of them.

"Miss Ayako's statement suddenly changed after she went out with the murderer, which immediately caught my attention, and when you returned to the living room, I sneaked out of the line and found Miss Ayako, and sure enough, the murderer shifted the target to Miss Ayako." Lin Fei continued to explain.

"At that point, he chased after me, apologized to me, and told me, 'That first printed novel of Sherlock Holmes is now under the back seat of that car in the garage,' and I was so greedy that I lost my mind, and I almost lost my life." Ayako Oki said with a sigh of relief, and at the same time glanced at Kento Toba, who was hanging his head down.

"The first novel?" Toshiaki Fujisawa said in surprise, "By the way, this was supposed to be about me." ”

"Yes, the car parked in the garage at the time, not only has all the gasoline leaked, but even the battery on the car has been removed, the interior lights in the car can't be turned on, and the car is pitch black under the back seat, in this case, you want to find something under the back seat," Hattori Heiji then explained, "Uncle, what will you do?" ”

"Well, because I can't see anything in the car, I can only use a lighter or something," Mori said, "I see, once Miss Ayako lights the lighter, the flames will immediately ignite the gasoline that spreads in the air." Ran asked, "But isn't Miss Ayako, Mr. Toba's girlfriend?" Why did he kill her? ”

"Because I saw it," Ayako Oki said with a complicated expression: "I went to his room at noon today, and I wanted to find him to answer together, but I didn't expect to find a blank answer sheet on the table that didn't write a word, and I thought it was strange at the time, but later I realized that Toba had known for a long time, and the organizer of the test questions was no longer alive at that time." ”

"When I learned what the murderer said to Ayako, I immediately understood Mr. Toba's intentions, but since the evidence was not enough to accuse Mr. Toba at the time, Miss Ayako and I decided to make a plan and create a false impression that Miss Ayako was dead, so as to force him to fall out!" Lin Fei said: "I asked Miss Ayako to hide in the woods, then sprinkled some water in the hallway, and then set the garage on fire. As I expected, after the garage exploded, you thought you had killed Miss Ayako, and then you were relieved to plan a third murder. As everyone knows, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and when you and Miss Lan went to the kitchen, I knew that you were going to do it, so I planned this play with Hattori and them! Sure enough, let's get all the stolen goods in one fell swoop! ”

"Hehe, defeated in your hands, I have nothing to say!" Kento Toba has given up struggling.

"But, hateful." Toshiaki Fujisawa grabbed Kento Toba's collar and asked angrily, "You kid, you say, why, why did you kill me and the organizer?" ”

"For the sake of the book!" Heiji Hattori said, "His motive for killing is probably the book titled 'The Mockery of Erin Andora,' which Mr. Fujisawa and the organizer co-published." ”

"What did you say?" Toshiaki Fujisawa was taken aback.

"Irene," said Lan, "is the actress in the novel who outsmarts Sherlock Holmes." ”

Hitomi Iwai said, "Yes, the content of this book is about Erin Adler mocking Sherlock Holmes for his faulty reasoning. ”

Ikuo Kawazu said: "I see, he thinks that the book denigrates Sherlock Holmes. ”

Kento Toba said, "On the contrary, I actually think that Erin is the only woman Sherlock identifies with, and I really can't imagine that she would laugh at Sherlock. Then he looked at Toshiaki Fujisawa and said resentfully, "So I can't forgive you, absolutely not." ”

"Heh, laughing to death, what you say is just a fart, you can't forgive them, in fact, in my opinion, you are the one who has an unforgivable sin." Lin Fei sarcastically said: "Although the organizer and Toshiaki Fujisawa are hateful, they are not guilty of death no matter what, but you, after knowing that your girlfriend understood the truth of the facts, you actually did not hesitate at all, and directly killed your girlfriend, are you still a human being in such an act?" If Sherlock Holmes knew that there were book lovers like you, he would have been angry a long time ago! ”

After hearing Lin Fei's words, Toba Yanren suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to speak to himself for a long time, and everyone was silent. ===============================================================PS: The second update, ask for tickets and collect!
