Chapter 408 The Doubts of the Tour Group

In the early morning of May 2, McGraft Villa.

After hearing Fujisawa Toshiaki's words, Mouri, who was standing by the broken window, thought for a while and said, "Forget it." Then he said to Yamazaki next to him, "Okay, Yamazaki, let's chase the host who escaped through the window now."

I just chased now, Yamazaki smiled in his heart, so the time just now was to let the time run?

"It's useless, don't chase after, even if you search outside, you still can't find the murderer." Hattori Heiji said.

Maori asked, "What did you say?"

"Look carefully at the chair under the table in front of the broken window," Hattori Heiji said, "There is evidence that the murderer hastily stuffed the chair in after the window was broken."

"Yeah, there are glass shards stuck in it," Conan said, "The murderer must have used this chair."

Mao Li said: "Only by this, we can only know that the murderer used this chair."

"Idiot, since you have already planned to escape outside, which murderer would deliberately put the chair back in place?" Hattori Heiji said, "I think the murderer grabbed the chair with his hands when he broke the window. He later tried to wipe the fingerprints off the chair, but it was dark again, so the killer pushed the chair back into the table, making it look as if it hadn't been touched, in order to wait until the light came on and take advantage of the chaos. When people pay attention, the fingerprints are wiped off without any haste."

"I think it was you who ate for nothing." Yamazaki asked, "You said it was dark all around, so how did he see this chair and pick it up? Since it was dark, how did he put the chair back here , even if he came back and moved the position of the chair according to what you said, at least he had to be near the table when he placed it before, so that no flaws would be seen. Since the surroundings are pitch black, he is How did you put the chair here exactly?"

"That's right." Mao Li smiled, "Boy, tell me how he did it."

Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Should I turn off the light and let you try?"

"Just try it." Hattori Heiji said, "Miss Assistant, please turn off the light."

"Wait a minute," Yamazaki said to Ran and Sonoko who had just bandaged Mr. Fujisawa, "Ran, Sonoko, for safety's sake, please use a chair to separate Mr. Fujisawa."

"Okay." Lan and Yuanzi said.

After turning off the lights, Yamazaki said: "Look for yourself. You can clearly see the faint silhouette by the window. When you grab the chair, you must grab the back of the chair. Where are you grabbing? It's still dark, and you can wipe the back of the chair. So you don't need to wipe your fingerprints afterwards, right? Also, I left fingerprints on the things in this living room. Do you want to wipe them? Just say that you don't know when you touched them. Is it? This is not a forbidden place."

Hattori Heiji asked, "Then tell me, why is the chair under the table, why did he put the chair back?"

"Of course it was placed there casually," Yamazaki said, "or it was placed there deliberately so that people can draw the conclusion you just made, lest you go after him immediately."

"What are you talking about!" Hattori Heiji yelled.

"So, Uncle Maori is right. The appearance of this chair can only mean that the murderer broke the glass with this chair." Yamazaki said, "So, it's time for you to apologize to Uncle Maori."

"There's no need to apologize." Maori smiled.

"besides,

When you were chasing that car that fell off the cliff, I was in the RV and looked through the window and it was pitch black and I couldn't even see a taillight. Yamazaki asked, "Excuse me, how can you confirm that the person sitting in the driver's seat is the organizer himself in such a dark situation?" "

Hattori Heiji said: "I said it, I will never get it wrong."

Yamazaki said: "Then, according to your reasoning just now, you think the murderer is still here."

Everyone was taken aback, "What!"

Toda Fortuneteller said, "That's what you say."

Kawazu Ikuo interjected, "When the lights are on."

Kento Toba interjected, "It's true that we are the only ones in this room."

Hattori Heiji said: "So the host is not the real murderer at all, the murderer is among you now."

"Wrong again, do you know that the blackout is man-made?" Yamazaki asked.

"It must be." Hattori Heiji said, "Just check it out."

"So I haven't checked it yet," Yamazaki said, "That's right, I don't need to check it if I think about it."

"What do you mean?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Since you and Conan were able to save Mr. Fujisawa, you must have seen something." Yamazaki asked, "Then please tell me who the murderer is. You should have seen the murderer just now, right?"

"I only saw the reflection of the ice chisel." Hattori Heiji said, "I didn't see who the murderer was."

"Conan?" Yamazaki asked by name.

"Me too," Conan said.

"No? Shouldn't you have good eyesight? You didn't see the murderer when the lighter was on just now, so why did you let us believe that you saw clearly the car that fell off the cliff? Is the person sitting in the host himself?" Yamazaki asked, "There are rain clouds piled up in the sky, and according to what you said in the car, with the instrument covered with a towel, are you really sure that in such a dark situation You read it right?"

Hattori Heiji said, "No, there was some moonlight."

"I remember when you were lying on the ground looking for air-conditioning water, the time between you and the time when you were chasing the car should not be too far away. Did you mean you couldn't see it at that time? So it was at the time when you were chasing the car. There is moonlight for a moment, and it happens to illuminate you." Yamazaki said, "Okay, but even so, there are still problems."

"What's the problem?" Hattori Heiji said, "Say something quickly."

"You confirmed that the host is sitting in the car. He must be wearing that conspicuous Sherlock Holmes costume, that is to say, wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat with a long brim and a Sherlock Holmes trench coat with a stand-up high collar. Regardless of whether he is in a coma Or death, that person must have his head down." Yamazaki asked, "In this way, he is sitting in the driver's seat with his head down, and you look at him through the glass outside the car window. I think, even if it is sunny, you can at most You can only see half of the face of the person sitting in the driver's seat like that, may I ask, which eye did you use earlier, sorry, from what angle did you see the whole face of that person?"

"I didn't see the whole picture," Hattori Heiji said, "but his figure, the shape of his face, and his beard are absolutely unmistakable to the host."

"It turns out that I took it for granted based on these characteristics," Yamazaki said, "It is precisely because there are a lot of detectives like you in society that a lot of innocent people will be involved in the incident and cannot get out."

"Damn, what are you talking about!" Hattori Heiji said while clenching his fists.

"From the current situation, you can't confirm that the host is dead until you confirm that there is a body under the cliff, and it is still the host's body." Yamazaki asked with a smile, "The detective is going to tell the evidence, right? Ah, Uncle Mao Li?" He scratched a few words on Mao Li's body, "Miss Assistant's reason for power outage".

"Well, that's right." Mori laughed, and then said loudly, "Miss Assistant, please turn on the light." Then, when the light came on, he glanced at Hattori Heiji, who looked unwell, and smiled as he walked Asked, "Miss Assistant, I remember that when the power went out just now, you said that the fuse tripped, right?"

"Hmph!" Hattori Heiji glared at the smiling Yamazaki, and quickly followed Mouri.

"You guy," Conan followed Yamazaki and laughed softly as he walked, "You don't need to do this."

"Am I wrong?" Yamazaki asked.

"Individually speaking, that's right." Conan smiled, "But this power outage must be caused by the murderer, and this can show that the murderer is here."

"It must have not been confirmed yet," Yamazaki said, "It's fine for now. And at present, at most, it can only be said that the blackout was caused, and it cannot be said that it was the murderer."

At this time, Lan came over and smiled, "Thank you, Yamazaki."

Yamazaki smiled and said, "I'm from the Mori Detective Agency."

Entering the kitchen, Hitomi Iwai held the blackened plug of the coffee machine and said: "Look, this is the plug of the coffee maker. I just plugged it in, but suddenly it jumped out. Later, I found that the plug was not connected. Someone wrapped a thin wire."

Maori took it over and looked at it and said, "Indeed, if you plug it directly into the socket, it will definitely cause a short circuit." Then he said doubtfully, "But where did the murderer get this wire from?"

Yuanzi said: "It should be the wire hanging on the label of the coffee bag."

Mao Li picked up the coffee bag, looked at it, and compared it, "That's right, the thickness and length are about the same." He said and put down the coffee bag and plug together, "The person who opened this bag is..."

Sonoko pointed to Ikuo Kawazu and Kento Toba and said, "That's the two of them."

"Now the truth can be revealed," Mori said, pointing to Ikuo Kawazu, "The murderer is you, Mr. Kawazu, you are the real murderer."

Kawazu Ikuo quickly said: "Wait a minute, besides me, there will be other people going to the kitchen..."

"Stupid, they all had definite alibi for the first incident," Maori said.

"Uncle." Yamazaki whispered, "Just talk about this circuit."

"Uh, by the way, you came here on your own initiative to create opportunities." Mori said to Ikuo Kawazu, "I'm afraid you sneaked the wire off the label of the coffee bag while they were not paying attention. Strapped to the plug, went back to the living room and waited for the power outage, and then in the dark you attacked Mr. Fujisawa who was using a lighter with the ice chipper you brought along with the ice cubes. The flame of Mr. Fujisawa's lighter is what you judged him The mark of the location. I just didn’t expect Mr. Fujisawa to be protected by others at this time, and you failed to succeed in the end.”

"Yes, it is indeed like this, but I always feel that there is something wrong." Hattori Heiji said, and then asked Yamazaki, "What do you think, big, detective, detective."

Conan, who was standing next to Yamazaki, touched his chin and said, "Different from the first incident and the second incident, during the third incident in which Mr. Fujisawa was attacked, the murderer left very obvious evidence. Maybe this third murder was not planned by the murderer." Then he reacted and laughed dryly, "Ah, this, I am a child, of course it is impossible to know, this is what Brother Yamazaki told me."

"Everyone, please don't take it to heart, this kid just likes to play detective games." Lan said, "Come here quickly." As he spoke, he pulled Conan aside.

Sonoko smiled and said, "Yamazaki, can I give you some hints."

Yamazaki smiled and said, "Okay, stand next to me then."

It's strange, Hattori Heiji thought to himself, when did Yamazaki say this to him? Wait, when I was investigating the case just now, this kid followed me almost wherever I went. Is this kid really playing a detective game, or is his thinking the same as mine? How is this possible? He is just a kid. It's almost the same guy as Kudo. Wait, I heard that the big detective will react, and I remember that when Kudo appeared in the last case, this little ghost who loved to run around the scene disappeared, and when Kudo disappeared, this little ghost suddenly appeared again, This guy... Seeing Conan struggling in Ran's hands and wanting to leave, Hattori Heiji muttered, "There won't be such a bizarre thing?"

Seeing Hattori Heiji look suspiciously at Conan, Yamazaki sighed in his heart, and then smiled at Mouri: "Uncle, Mr. Kawazu is only a major suspect until the evidence is found. And he is only a suspect in this assassination incident. "

"That's right, Detective Mori," Toda Fortuneteller said, "If the murderer of the serial incident is really Mr. Kawazu, how did he light the fire in the garage when the second incident happened, and how did he set it on fire in the first incident?" During the incident, before the car fell off the cliff, its speed was obviously still rising."

"The second incident is largely solved, but the first one is completely clueless." Hattori Heiji said.

Toda fortune-teller asked, "Hey? Do you understand? Do you know how the murderer lit the fire?"

"Almost. In short, there are the following four unsolved doubts in the first incident. I asked the assistant, and the host did not show up all day. This is the first one. The second is why the speed of the car at that time suddenly Speed ​​up. The third is the strange noise coming from the host’s car and the towel tied on the control panel of the car. The last is that the host was holding the steering wheel of the car tightly, but the car bumped on the uneven road, and his body But it didn’t move at all.” Hattori Heiji said, “What I can think of is that the host was killed when he was stuffed into the car, and it’s impossible for a corpse that has already become stiff after death to move.”

Sonoko asked suspiciously, "Frozen after death?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "Generally speaking, the human body begins to freeze within thirty minutes to two hours after death, and then spreads throughout the body within nine to twelve hours. Within an hour, the body will show the most rigid state, and then it will gradually soften, and it will return to its original shape after about seventy hours."

"That's right." Sonoko said.

Hattori Heiji said: "If the host who was stuffed into the car at around 2:30 in the morning on May 2nd was already completely stiff, then the time when he was killed should have been in the afternoon of May 1st yesterday. was killed."

Kento Toba said, "It's true that I didn't see the host come to dinner."

Hattori Heiji said: "What I don't understand is why the murderer insisted on stuffing the host into the car so long in advance."

"The murderer must have wanted the host to look like he committed suicide by falling off a cliff. I think the murderer must have killed the host before dinner, put his hands on the steering wheel, and waited for the body to become stiff after dinner. Let’s go to the garage to start the car.” Kento Toba looked at Ikuo Kawazu and said, “That means the murderer was one of you who left the living room after eating.”

Toda Fortuneteller asked, "Then how did the speed of the car increase?"

Kawazu Ikuo said: "That is to say, the body of a dead person will not move around casually."...
