"Mr. Policeman, can we leave?"

In the hall, the three of Ray Katis found Officer Otaki and wanted to leave the place.

I saw Lei pointing to the two behind him, "Both of them said they wanted to go back to the hotel and take a shower and relax." ”

Officer Otaki still wanted to stop him, "But, ...... in that case."

However, before he could finish speaking, Hattori Heiji interrupted him, "It's okay, Uncle Otaki." ”

Officer Otaki looked at him with some confusion, "Huh? ”

Heiji Hattori said: "Didn't the three of them detect the gunsmoke reaction? ”

Officer Otaki was a little uneasy, "But, Heiji ......"

Hattori Heiji looked at the three of them, "But before that, I have something to ask the three of you." ”

Ray was a little surprised, "Do you have something to ask us for?" ”

Hattori Heiji nodded, "That's right, Ray, but you have you." ”

Ray was a little confused, "Me?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "To tell you the truth, there is a person waiting to see you right now, and he is in the room where you have been staying, so I will leave this matter to you."

That kid is your number one fan! ”

And so, when Ray Katis returned to the door, he looked at the things placed in the doorway, and there was a look of consternation in his eyes.

“Who are did this！ (Who did this!) ）”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Yes, this technique is actually very simple. ”

Hearing this, Ray quickly turned around and looked at the staircase that went up.

"Actually, just press the door of the guest room and leave it completely open, and then remove the air window of the bathroom and take out the mop from there.

In this way, it can be said that the air window can be placed in a position where the lighting in the room can be turned on at any time.

Clamp the wooden lever of the mop between the air window and the switch, and vacate the air window, and you're done. ”

As he spoke, Conan put a soccer ball at his feet, "Just kick the prepared soccer ball down this staircase." ”

With that, he kicked the football down, and the football hit the mop so impartially, the mop fell to the ground, the air window pressed the switch, and the lights in the room were instantly illuminated.

Only Ray Katis was left to the side, his expression dark.

"As for the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, as long as we open them beforehand, we will think that you have walked inside the guest room and turned on the lights.

That's right, Ray. ”

Looking at the idol in front of him, Conan said in a deep voice: "As long as you practice two or three times, even a kid like me can do it, for Ray Katis, who was known as the god of free kick in football when he used to play as a center forward, he must be able to do it easily even blindfolded!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly walked down the stairwell, "Therefore, even if you are standing on the second floor, you can not only easily turn on the lights in the guest room on the first floor, but also kill the newspaper reporter on the second floor at the same time."

But you, the alibi of the guest room on the first floor is also valid. ”

Ray Katis looked at the little boy in front of him, and somehow, suddenly felt a huge pressure.

He pretended to be calm and said, "Little boy, you can't make jokes." ”

Conan shook his head, "No, I've figured out all your plans.

The room that you agreed to be responsible for was the five rooms on the two floors below K, and the one you did in advance was the side room on the first floor that you should arrive in second order.

That's the room in front of the stairs. ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the room where he had just set up the mechanism.

"After you've lit the lights in the first room, head to the second room and set your trap there.

Then you go up the stairs on the second floor with a pistol and a soccer ball, and turn on the lights in the third, fourth, and fifth rooms on the second floor.

Of course, the second room can't be opened. In this way, when Xiaolan sees this situation outside the hotel, she will remind you that the light in the second room has not been turned on.

You'll tell her on a wireless intercom that you're going right away, kick the soccer ball down the stairs on the second floor, and the lights will come on in the second room on the first floor.

You take advantage of this time to immediately run and kill Ed who is waiting for you on the second floor, then drop the pistol at the scene, and finally just need to climb down the stairs again, and put on a shocked expression from the window of the second room, and the people outside will naturally have the illusion that you have been in the room all along. ”

Conan looked up at him, "I guess I'm right, Ray. ”

Hearing this, Ray Cutis smiled, "Very, very good, but, little boy, you forgot one thing, there is a mistake in it, that is, after I turned on the light and before I heard the gunshot, it was less than three seconds, how could I kill someone in such a short time?"

I still have to kick the ball, and I have to knock on the door of Ed's room, and when Ed comes out and opens the door, those three seconds are really ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Conan unceremoniously interrupted him, "You didn't knock on the door after you played, you did it after you knocked on the door."

After knocking on Ed's door, you walk to the top of the stairs, kick the ball down as he opens the door, and then just as you approach Ed, you use the radio intercom to make sure that the lights are on and shoot at the same time, even if it's only for three seconds.

In addition to that, just tie a rope to that mop and turn off the light with a gentle pull.

In this way, Rika on the fifth floor can also turn off the lights in the same way.

However, the murder scene is on the second floor of your responsibility, so it is absolutely impossible for him to commit the murder without meeting you.

Of course, it was impossible for Mike to open the curtains on the third floor.

In other words, among the three of you, only you, Ray, can commit murder. ”

Ray Katis hurriedly argued, "But boy, if I had fired, the gunpowder would have ......."

Conan shook his head, "The police usually investigate the reaction to the gunpowder smoke only near the collar of the jacket, and at most they will check the trousers.

The inside of the garment is rarely inspected.

You take off your coat before committing the attack, and when you shoot, the gunpowder will only spray on your jacket and trousers, and if you put your coat on before sticking out of the window, and then change your shirt and trousers when you go back to the room and wait, it will be difficult for the police to find out the reaction of the gunsmoke. ”

As he spoke, he took out the inflatable needle he found earlier, "That's when you used this needle to release the gas in the football and hide it in your jacket!"

This is what I found in the trash after you went to the bathroom.

As for the football that you deflated, it was found by the hotel staff under the autograph table. ”

Ray Katis couldn't help but say, "But how can you say that I put it?" ”

Conan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually, Ed has long pointed out that the murderer is you.

The gesture of the fingers of Ed's right hand is a movement that only occurs when eating sushi.

As for the belt in his left hand, it refers to the band, in the sushi restaurant, the staff are used to communicating with the code, and among the dishes ordered, the band represents the dish No. 8.

And this hint is the death message that Eddard identified you as the murderer before he died. ”

Hearing this, Ray Katis was speechless in shock.

However, Conan's reasoning continues.

"I also found out that the towels in the bathroom in this guest room were wet, I think you got wet from washing your face!

Because the smoke on the skin can be easily washed away with water. ”

Conan slowly walked into the guest room, picked up the football on the ground, and said with a little self-mockery: "It's really ironic, I originally wanted to confirm your innocence, but I didn't expect that the more I checked, the more evidence I found that you were a murderer." ”

Ray Katis was silent for a moment and then smiled: "Oh, boy, it's a pity that the evidence you just said, none of it is conclusive evidence, this shirt and trousers, I usually give them to my agent just in case."

I just changed it because I was sweating, and I took it off and washed it immediately.

I guess I'm still in the laundry department of the hotel. ”

Conan asked rhetorically, "What about your shoes?" ”

Ray was stunned for a moment, "Shoes? ”

"Generally speaking, with automatic pistols, the smoke will be ejected as the cartridge casings are ejected, while the revolver will spread out radially in the center of the barrel, and the upper of the shoe will not be spared.

Ray, you should have had your shoes on when you committed the murder, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to kick the ball accurately.

Since you haven't changed your shoes yet, you're bound to have a smoke reaction, which I think can be considered ironclad. ”

"Go and turn yourself in, Ray, I'm begging you."

Looking at the teenager in front of him, Ray Katis laughed, he shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't turn myself in, if I am arrested, my fans and family will be very, very sad."

I'll follow your advice and wipe these shoes clean, and I'll make excuses to hide it from the police. ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
