Chapter 17: The Detective and the "Detective"
When the people around heard Kudo Shinichi's name, they began to exclaim as if they were yesterday.
Shinichi Kudo listened to the praise of the people around him, raised his head in a high-profile manner, and then looked at Toru Amamiya next to him.
"Hey, that guy called Toru, do you want to compete again and see which of us solves the case first?"
Toru Amamiya was silent for a moment, his eyes blinked, and Kotoko Iwanaga on the side synchronized with his behavior, looking at Kudo Shinichi with a cute and well-behaved face.
The desire to compete is good...... But he just witnessed the whole process of the murder directly, and this detective is sure to jump into the pit like this?
Under normal circumstances, Toru Amamiya's bad taste is still very sufficient, and he teases this guy detective or something.
It can be regarded as revenge for his previous indiscriminate reasoning and almost launched his identity.
"Are you sure you're going to try it out against me this time?"
Toru Amamiya's tone was malicious and slow, but Kudo Shinichi, who was full of cases, did not notice the abnormality at the first time.
"Of course, I was careless last time, and I will definitely beat you this time!"
Kudo Shinichi swore that he already had a little idea of his own about this case, and he didn't believe that Toru Amamiya would be able to be faster than him this time.
"Okay, I'll just say it, the murderer is the lady sitting in the first row."
Toru Amamiya stretched out his finger and pointed at the woman who had been performing acrobatics in the tunnel before, and the people around him were shocked.
"Okay, so fast!"
Kudo Shinichi's first reaction was not to question, but to show that his eyes were as if he had been played.
The people around were shocked synchronously, and then the usual suspects quibbled for time.
"What, what, how could it be that I killed him, not to mention that my position is separated from him by a row, where did this girl of mine get the strength to cut a man's neck?"
The girl retorted, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and she looked pitiful.
"yes, yes." The policeman next to him echoed, and then found a blood-stained knife wrapped in cloth from the girl's bag next to the deceased.
"You see the murder weapons are all here, the murderer should be this lady."
"No, Mr. Amamiya is right, although I don't know how he did it, but I did slow him down a step."
As if some kind of weird switch was triggered by the suspect's rebuttal, Kudo Shinichi suddenly stood up with a sudden realization and looked at the girl named Renmi with a serious face.
"This lady deliberately raised her body with her backpack before the roller coaster started, so that she could get out of the gap in the guardrail after the ride."
"And when passing through the tunnel, the pre-prepared sharp rope loop is hung around the neck of the deceased, and the other section is thrown out and hung on the track, and the head of the deceased can be easily cut off by the speed of the speeding car."
Shinichi Kudo put his hands in his pockets, turned his back to everyone's eyes and faced the murderer, and said his reasoning seriously, standing in the light like a messenger of justice in the story accusing evil.
Although this time he stood on someone else's shoulder, he was able to deduce the case so quickly.
"Nonsense, do you have any evidence?"
Hitomi retorted loudly, but before Kudo Shinichi could speak again, Kotoko Iwanaga appeared in front of her with something she would never have imagined.
"So, miss, I would like you to identify whose blood-stained necklace it is?"
Kotoko Iwanaga stepped into everyone's eyes from behind Toru Amamiya and shook the contents of the evidence bag in her hand.
I don't know if it's because of the shock or the excitement brought by the evidence finally being revealed, Renmi suddenly feels that Kotoko Iwanaga's cute face like a ceramic doll is weird.
Those emotions, smiles and happiness seem to be carved, and if you look closely, you can only bring a chill to the bone.
Toru Amamiya silently released a murderous aura beside him, trying to make the murderer this time realize and contribute his own strength to his cultivation.
Toru Amamiya found out that he had only been away from this realm for two years, and the chances of the murderers here repenting were already abnormally high.
In the past, when he was looking for it, he could not find such a prisoner who was willing to repent, but now when he went shopping for a meal, he encountered it once and a half.
Once it was yesterday, and half a time it was a woman who cried while killing someone, and it seemed that she would repent easily.
Can I really make a cameo appearance as a detective? Toru Amamiya thought to himself, always feeling that there are many criminals in this world who are "easy" to repent.
"This is what I just found on the ground in the tunnel, and a little examination of the blood on it will tell that it belongs to the deceased."
"And does anyone know who this necklace is?"
Kotoko Iwanaga approached Miss Murderer step by step, the shock of being seen through, the incredulous gaze of the people around her, and the catalysis of Toru Amamiya's killing intent became a sharp arrow aimed at the heart.
"Of course, even if you don't remember, I believe that there should be many places in the amusement park that are monitored, and you should be able to know if you check it a little."
Kotoko Iwanaga chuckled and said the most fatal words to Miss Murderer, and her posture was the same as yesterday's Toru Amamiya.
Miss Murderer immediately fell to her knees and began to explain her motive for the murder and the cause and effect of the incident.
While everyone was feeling sad about Miss Hitomi's story, Shinichi Kudo began to think about something else.
If it were in normal times, Kudo Shinichi might have the leisure to listen to why the murderer committed the crime, but now his main attention has been on Toru Amamiya.
Although he only pointed out the murderer one step ahead of himself, and even revealed the modus operandi by himself, but watching Kotoko Iwanaga's movements.
Kudo Shinichi knew very well that Toru Amamiya had already known the murderer's modus operandi, but the speed of speech was not as fast as his, and he was finished talking before he could reveal it.
Shinichi Kudo, a dignified detective, couldn't figure out how this guy managed to know who the murderer was so quickly.
When he thought of it, he asked, this is Kudo Shinichi's usual good character, and he spoke directly to Toru Amamiya.
"Mr. Amamiya, how did you tell who the murderer was so quickly?"
Although I felt that it was a little strange to call such a young man who didn't seem to beat much more than himself, Mr., but Kudo Shinichi thought that he and Toru Amamiya were not so familiar with each other, so he had to call it that first.
Anyway, I heard that he is a college student who has returned from studying abroad, so he should just look younger, maybe he is actually an old uncle for a long time?
It's like the little girl next to him, although she is seventeen years old, but no matter how you look at it, she looks like a junior high school student!
As if he had seen through Shinichi Kudo's slander in his heart, Toru Amamiya smiled a little maliciously at the great detective Shinichi Kudo.
"Detective, can't you even guess such a simple question?"
Kudo Shinichi was helpless for a moment, it was like this yesterday, and it was like this today, can't you even guess how others decrypted it?
Shinichi Kudo begins brainstorming for his own dignity as a detective.
And Kudo Shinichi is worthy of being Kudo Shinichi, his brain is like being pierced by an invisible lightning, and he instantly enters the reasoning mode and begins to analyze.
"You were wearing a coat before you got in the car, but the coat was on Ms. Iwanaga when you got out of the car, and you gave the coat to Ms. Iwanaga after you got in the car."
"And then there is no trace of blood on Miss Iwanaga's body, and the blood stains on your body are strangely going."
"Eliminate all impossible options, the only possibility left is!"
"You saw the whole process of Miss Hitomi's murder, so in order to prevent Miss Iwanaga from being affected by the bloodstains of Miss Hitomi's murder, I protected her with a coat in time."
As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi's voice gradually quieted down, and he kind of understood why Toru Amamiya would ask him in that strange tone at first if he was sure he was going to compete with him.
Although he didn't know how he did it, he did see the process of the case clearly.
He had noticed the abnormality of the blood stains on his clothes a long time ago, but because he was in a hurry to think about the case itself, he didn't think carefully about these extra things.
It seems that he still has plenty of room to grow, Kudo Shinichi was in a complicated mood for a while, and began to cheer up again.
I'm Shinichi Kudo! The disciples of Sherlock Holmes would never admit defeat in such a place!
