Chapter 534 Conan, I don't believe the murderer is him
When the glass on the second floor shattered, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately ran towards the building, and found a person lying dead in the central room No. 3 on the second floor.
Situ Xiu looked inside the room, the deceased was lying on the ground, there was a pool of blood below, his right hand was stretched forward with three fingers straight and two fingers bent, and his left hand was clutching the belt on his pants, and the victim's face was the reporter who was scolding three sports stars at the restaurant.
"The deceased was Ed McKay, a 48-year-old newspaper reporter based in Washington, who died almost instantly after being shot in the chest, and the murder weapon was a revolver, judging from the blood stains, it seems that he struggled for a while after being hit."
In the victim's room, a police officer held a small notebook in his hand and reported the results of the investigation.
In addition to the police, there were also Situ Xiu and his party in this room, but Situ Xiu and Koizumi Hongzi stood at the door and did not enter the room.
After hearing this, Goro Otaki looked at Hattori Heiji and asked, "Ah Ping, do you remember what time it was?"
"Hmm.... It seems like around 8:05 p.m."
Hattori pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "I heard gunshots outside the hotel with Ye and them, and we also saw the glass in this room shattering, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Outside the hotel? Were you ready to leave? β
"No, we were entrusted by the three of them, and they asked us to help see if the electric lights in the hotel room could smoothly make the K in K3 of the hotel sign from the light of the glass window."
"Which three?"
"I was the boss of K3 at the time! Boxer Kade Barrera, baseball pitcher Mike Norwood, soccer player Ray Katis, three sports stars".
"So the three of them turned on the lights, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Katis is in charge of the five rooms on the first and second floors, Mr. Michael is in charge of the rooms on the third and fourth floors, and Mr. Barrera is in charge of the top five rooms."
"Then all three of them could be murderers."
Otaki Goro pinched his chin and pondered, Hattori Heiji did not deny it, he also had a feeling that these three people might be murderers.
"It's very likely," Kogoro Mori walked out, smiling, "because all three of them seem to hate that newspaper reporter."
"But it's unlikely!"
He Ye, who was standing at the door, immediately retorted, and then analyzed: "The room where the bullet hit was in the middle of the second floor, and the three of them were in different rooms at the time, so it was impossible to do it, right, Xiaolan."
"Hmm," little Landau.
"Do you know which room the three of them are in," asked Goro Otaki.
"Mr. Mack is on the 3rd floor, which is above this room, and Mr. Barrera is on the 5th floor, and Mr. Kartis is in the corner room on the bottom 1st floor, and when K is finished, all three of them are a little far from that room."
Xiaolan pondered for a moment, the building has a total of five floors, and each floor has 5 rooms, of which the victim's room is the central room No. 3 on the second floor.
Otaki Goro frowned slightly and asked, "Did you see the three of them?"
"No, but the lights are on, and we can know where they are," said Landau.
"And when the glass shattered, all three of them peeked out of the window and asked in unison what was going on, so I guess it's impossible."
He Ye made up a sentence, and heard the voices of the three people at the same time from the walkie-talkie.
Otaki Goro frowned slightly, the suspicion of the three seemed to be ruled out, and who would be the murderer.
"It's very right with Sister Ye, however, the suspicion of these three people is still there, just using some methods, even if they are not in that room, they can still kill the victim, since it is a shooting, I suggest testing the gunpowder reaction of the three people."
Situ Xiu glanced at Conan, if he knew who the murderer was, he would be very disappointed.
"That's right, if you shoot, you will definitely leave a gunpowder reaction"
Otaki Goro's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Hurry up and check if the three of them have a gunpowder reaction, and other guests will also check together."
"Yes," a police officer replied, turning to leave.
Otaki Goro glanced at Situ Xiu, leaned over to Hattori Heiji, and asked in a low voice, "This little fart is the very smelly kid you said?" β
"Yes, it's very stinky and cute," Hattori said heraki, since he met Situ Xiu, he felt that his life had entered a trough.
When Conan heard Situ Xiu's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "You said that those three people used a certain method, then you should know the modus operandi."
"I don't know"
Situ Xiu said lightly, he really didn't know the criminal's methods, but he remembered who the murderer was.
Everyone: "........".
"However, I still found one thing, if you look closely at the victim's hands, there should be some kind of information left."
Situ Xiu pointed to the victim lying on his stomach, holding his belt with his left hand, and three fingers of his right hand were straight and two fingers were bent, which was likely a death message.
Everyone looked over, and Otaki Goro was surprised: "Belt? Why do you hold your belt tightly before you die, and what does it mean to straighten your three fingers".
"Could the finger be referring to a 3, such as K3," Koizumi analyzed.
When everyone heard this, they pondered secretly.
"I see, the victim wants to tell us the proof that he won the championship after a fierce fight, that is, Mr. Barrera, the gold medal champion"
The more Mori Kogoro thought about it, the more excited he became, yes, his analysis couldn't be wrong, he was too witty.
"What does the victim's three fingers represent, Mr. Barrera is a fourth-round knockout opponent every time" He Ye said speechlessly.
"........." Mori Kogoro.
"Could it be BAND? Some people call belts bandages," Goro Otaki pondered.
βBAND.... BAND.... BAND003β
Maori Kogoro pinched his chin, suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "I know, it's what Mr. Bandong meant, there is a guy surnamed Bandong among the guests, as long as you find him, this case can be solved."
"..........." the crowd.
Confused Detective!!
Situ Xiu waved his hand helplessly, and said that the case was definitely done by one of the three people, why did he still go crooked.
Otaki Goro leaned into Hattori's ear and whispered, "Ah Ping, is that person really sleeping Kogoro?" β
"yes, though, he seems to be drunk today," Hattori laughed dryly.
Soon, the test results came out, and the three sports stars did not have any gunsmoke reaction.
Otaki Goro pinched his chin and said, "It seems that it has nothing to do with the three of them."
"Hmm," Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Situ Xiu walked over, put one hand on Conan's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "The murderer is definitely one of the three sports stars, and the most likely is Kartis on the 1st to 2nd floors."
"Impossible"
Conan's face changed, and he said in a firm tone: "There is no problem with the gunpowder inspection."
"Of course no problem, how long has it been, and you can change your clothes at any time," Situ said.
Conan frowned slightly, still not convinced, and asked, "Technique, then you tell me how he did it."
"I don't know".
Situ Xiu glanced at Conan, and then said, "Although I don't know the method, I have a piece of evidence that can prove that the murderer is him."
"What" Conan's face was full of shock, could it be that the murderer was really Katis?
No way!
How could it be him, why is it.
