Chapter 142: Imperfection in Perfection
Conan Edogawa, who was thinking about the question, once again felt the gaze from Miyamoto Aito.
Light, but extraordinarily focused eyes.
Focus on the eyes of people who think maybe the other person is their crush.
Conan Edogawa shuddered.
Who taught him to see people like that?
Edogawa Conan turned his head and gave the other a blank look.
Don't look at him like that!
If you look at him like this, how will he give Uncle Maori an anesthetic injection in a while! It will be discovered!
But......
Maybe the silver bullet can really solve it.
In this way, you can save an anesthetic needle.
It's just that Uncle Maori will lose to this group of elementary school students again, and it will be very embarrassing.
But what does this have to do with him?
It's Mori Kogoro who is ashamed, what does it have to do with Kudo Shinichi or even Edogawa Conan?
Edogawa Conan thought to himself.
But if the group of schoolchildren can't find a problem, Uncle Maori will still have to sleep for a while.
I can't rest assured that I will hand over the eucalyptus to the five elementary school students, but I still have to grasp the evidence and answer as soon as possible.
Conan Edogawa leaned over to the person holding the photo with a solemn expression and secretly glanced at the photo.
After receiving the white eyes of Edogawa Conan, Ato blinked and withdrew his gaze.
Don't like to be watched? Then I won't look at it so directly next time.
Or is it that your eyes are too obvious?
But the eyes that look at the family should be full of love, and when you love someone, even if you just mention the existence of the other person, you can't help but show love from your eyes.
It took him a long time to learn how to look at his family with love in his eyes.
But the uncle said that it would scare people if it was too direct.
Shinichi's brother, they haven't agreed to be his family yet.
The eyes can't be so obvious.
While Aitto was thinking, the police officer who had gone to wash the photos with his camera returned.
With a bunch of washed photos.
Officer Henggou distributed the photo to the detectives present.
Of course, the members of the Silver Bullet also got their pictures.
"These pictures are boring." Zhuxing Xiushu looked at the men in various poses in the photo, and said in a disgusted tone.
Watching a man of ordinary age take pictures in front of the camera, he really doesn't have this hobby.
"What do these pictures say?" Jiang Shouhuang's tone was puzzled.
All they got were photos taken by Tetsuya Aoyagi.
In other words, they were all taken after 8:40.
Completely inadequately illustrates anything.
"Officer Henggou, may I ask, what time is the Tianzi burning ending?" Mori Kogoro said, holding a photograph in his hand.
The first night festival of the world will be lit on the mountain with the words "heaven", "down" and "one", so it is called the first night festival of the world.
And the time when these three words ignite is different.
For example, when they met Sei Shinichi, it happened to be ignited by a word.
It was around 8:40.
And in this photo in the hands of Maori Kogoro, the protagonist is still Sei Shinichi, but the background behind the other party in the photo is a burning celestial character.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"This is ......" Officer Henggou was stunned for a moment after seeing the photo, and then showed a solemn expression.
"When the Tianzi burns, it is at eight o'clock, and when the Tianzi burns over, the time is about 8:25." Officer Yokogou said.
"In other words, Mr. Sei was already at the venue of the festival before 8:25, and if he killed the dead at 8:25, then he would not have been able to get to the venue within 25 minutes." Maori Kogoro analyzed it in a serious and serious way.
"In other words, Mr. Sei does have a perfect alibi." Kogoro Mori announced.
"What?!
That's impossible! Hideki snatched the photo from Mori Kogoro's hand, and several people with silver bullets gathered together and gritted their teeth to check it.
If what Mori Kogoro said is true, if this alibi is true, then doesn't it mean that they suspect the wrong person?
But......
How can it be!
There are obviously so many flaws, but there is a so-called perfect alibi......
They looked at it for a long time and didn't see the problem with the photo, so they returned the photo to Kogoro Maori, with a frustrated expression for a moment, and unwillingly stared at Sei Shinichi who showed a relaxed smile.
"I still think this guy is the murderer." The stars and trees were depressed.
"So do we." The rest of the Silver Bullet chimed in.
Evidence can be falsified, and they don't suspect that their judgment is wrong because of the so-called evidence, and because of the evidence handed over by the suspects themselves.
They will only think that the suspect has fabricated the so-called evidence.
They are reluctant because they have no way to uncover this lie for the time being.
"Speak of evidence, little brothers." Shijing Xuan smiled proudly.
"Cut." The stars made a meaningless sound, and his mood was obviously extremely unhappy.
Edogawa Conan was also at a loss at the moment.
How can such a photo exist?
If you have a perfect alibi, there is no way to say that the other party is the murderer, unless you ......
Find out the flaws in the perfect alibi.
"It's exactly the same as the plot in the detective, the murderer deliberately made a perfect alibi, and then the police knew that the other party was a suspect, but they could only let the murderer go." The white-haired boy looked at the photo and spoke thoughtfully.
But isn't the person in the photo exactly the same as the current one?
"Is it possible for a person to have a bad sun in one day?" He asked, confused.
There is no color difference in the hands of the new brother.
The stars were also exposed to the sun abroad for a year before they became like this.
So......
This photo is from a year ago, right?
If you think about it this way, it means that the other party has been preparing for a year in order to kill someone.
It's remarkable.
The uncle said that those who are patient are great people.
"What do you mean? What color difference? How can it be good or bad in a day's sun. Hideki asked.
Sweat suddenly broke out on Shijing Xuanyi's forehead, and he subconsciously hid his hand behind him.
"This photo is the same as this photo, the pose is the same, but their hands are different, this wrist, it should be the hand wearing a watch, there is a color difference with other places, but the hand on this one is not." The white-haired boy compares the two photos and points out the differences to others.
"You can't post it like this in a day, so this photo, at least last year or more, when he came to the festival, he was very patient and prepared for killing people for a long time." The white-haired teenager's tone was calm, and even a little admiring.
"So that's the case......" Hideki Zhuxing and the others looked at the photo and suddenly realized.
"Stretch out your hand and show us." The four elementary school students walked up to Sei Shinichi and spoke proudly.
Their judgment was not wrong!
This guy is the murderer!
Seii's hand behind him began to tremble.
"Please cooperate with the investigation." Officer Henggou stepped forward and grabbed the other man's hand, and saw the skin color on his wrist that was far from the rest of the body.
What does that mean? Do you have proof? Sei Xuanichi looked at the figures of the five elementary school students and gritted his teeth.
"Imatake was shot, I don't have a gun on me." He had no fear.
Officer Henggou let go of his hand.
The other party is right.
Even if the photo is from a year ago, it can only prove that the other party came to the festival a year ago, and the alibi is forged.
Even if everyone knew that he was the murderer, there was still a lack of crucial evidence.
"The murder weapon ......" the white-haired young man looked at Sei Shinichi.
Usually hiding a murder weapon is similar to hiding a corpse, and in the mountains or forests, the corpse and the murder weapon will be buried in the ground.
But if you go to the mountains or the forest to bury tools, the other party will not be at the festival venue at 8:40.
So is another easier way.
There seems to be a river outside the hotel when I came......
So was it thrown into the river? Often, people choose to throw the corpse into the water and tie it to a stone, so that the corpse will not float up.
"Was it thrown into the river outside?" The white-haired boy asked.
He saw Sei's heart beat faster.
"It seems so." So he nodded thoughtfully.
When the secret that you want to hide the most is exposed, you will have such a heart-pounding reaction.
"Go out into the river and salvage the evidence." Officer Henggou immediately commanded.
"Yes!" Several police officers obeyed the orders and ran out.
Seii's face became very ugly.
"Those things under the water, they should have more or less your fingerprints, right? You can't wash your fingerprints off with water. Hideki said gloatingly.
Shikai Shinichi's face was even more ugly.
"Don't you plead guilty? Do you have to wait until the evidence is put in front of you before you confess your guilt? Officer Henggou asked.
"The story of Imatake's Naomoto Award this year is actually a story that the two of us thought about together when I was writing with him in the past." Sei was silent for a long time before answering the question.
But everyone present knows that this passage means that the other party has pleaded guilty.
And what he said was actually his motive for killing.
Mori Kogoro and the others looked at the back of Sei Xuanichi who was taken away by the police with heavy faces.
And the silver bullet detective group made a cheering sound.
"Great! Miyamoto! You are our trump card! Takizawa Shinya clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"We can't be wrong." Jiang Shouhuang affirmed.
"A certain uncle who thinks it's a robbery, I'm really sorry for the title of the so-called detective, uncle, are you wrong because you haven't slept, so your reasoning is wrong?" Hideki said defiantly towards Maori Kogoro.
"Arrogant little devil-" Mori Kogoro clenched his fists.
"Conan, Lan, let's go." He snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.
"Aitto, let's go first." Maoliran said goodbye to the white-haired boy.
"Sister Xiaolan, goodbye." The white-haired boy waved at him.
"Come on Miyamoto, let's just clap our hands this time." Kikukawa Seiichiro pulled Aito in the middle.
Tetsuya Aoyagi sensibly only patted the five hands they stretched out.
Photo of five fists bumping together.
