Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 75 The Murder of Diplomats
Kenta looked at it for a while, put away his phone and walked out.

When I came to the study, I met Shinichi and Xiaolan at the door.

"Why did you come here?"

Shinichi said: "Just now I heard from Xiaolan that Hattori was taking out a fishing line to reason, and we just went to find evidence."

In the study, Hattori Heiji had just finished reasoning, and finally it was time to identify the murderer.

"The criminal is you, Tsujimura Toshimitsu, the old man."

Tsujimura Toshimitsu admitted with ashen face, "That's right, I was the culprit, and I was the one who killed my son Tsujimura Isao."

Hearing the confession inside, Xinyi hurried in and interrupted loudly, "No, he didn't kill anyone at all."

"What?" Everyone in the study looked over, and after discovering that it was Kudo Shinichi, they all looked in disbelief, "Kudo?!"

At this time, it has been two months since Kudo Shinichi disappeared. Although he would occasionally use the phone to let people know that he was still alive, rumors spread widely. Now that Kudo Shinichi really appeared in front of everyone, they had incredible expressions on their faces .

Kudo Shinichi walked into the study room, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "He is lying."

Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo, thinking that he is Kudo Shinichi?Hearing that his reasoning was wrong at this time, he asked unconvinced: "Kudo Shinichi, tell me, where is my reasoning wrong?"

Officer Megure stepped forward and said, "Brother Kudo, his reasoning in the secret room just now is perfect, and he even used my pants for an experiment just now."

"First of all, first use the fishing line with the iron needle tied, and the end of the fishing line without the iron needle tied to the dead man's key ring with adhesive tape, and then let the end of the fishing line tied with the iron needle come out of my trousers pocket. Pass through the inside. Then, hold the two ends again, and walk out of the house together.

After locking the door with the key, pull the fishing line to let the key pass under the door, and finally wait for the key to enter the pocket, then pull hard again, and the fishing line will be pulled out from the adhesive tape.Then as long as the fishing line is put away, the evidence disappears, and the secret room technique is thus completed. "

Officer Megure repeated the method briefly, and Kudo Shinichi said: "This method is just on paper. Did the key really go into the pocket? Officer Megure."

Hattori Heiji said: "Of course. If you don't believe me, look clearly, you see, the double pockets of these pants..." He put his hand into Officer Megure's pocket and turned his pocket out.

The key fell directly from the outer layer of the pocket to the ground, and did not enter the double pocket.

"What?" Hattori looked shocked, "How could this be? I just let the fishing line pass through the double pockets?"

"Because Officer Megure was sitting just now. The pocket was wrinkled because of sitting, which prevented the key from entering the double pocket. At this time, the fishing line encountered obstruction and would fall off the tape before the key entered the double pocket. .”

Shinichi continued: "Besides, the deceased is fatter than Officer Megure, so the wrinkles are even more obvious."

Police officer Mumu was speechless, why did he attack personally.

Police Officer Megure thought of a detail, "Speaking of which, I remember that when I put my hand in the victim's pocket, I felt my pants bulge, and the key should be more difficult to pass through."

Shinichi continued: "Also, even if this method is successful, it does not match the detail of taking out the key from the deceased's pocket."

Everyone recalled that the key and the key ring were put together in the double pocket.

"Yes, that is to say, even if Hattori's trick is successful and the fishing line enters the double pocket with the key ring, only the key ring will enter the double pocket, and the key will be exposed in the large outer pocket."

Everyone imagined it in their minds, and it was true.

"In a narrow pocket, it is impossible for the key ring and the key to be folded into a figure 7. However, the key ring and the key were placed in the double pocket on the deceased's body, which means that the murderer put the key from the beginning. In the double pockets of the dead."

Hattori Heiji said again: "Really, then tell me, how do I explain this fishing line I found in the Japanese room trash can?"

"That's just a trap set by the murderer to put the blame on this old gentleman." Xinyi said, and then showed the fishing line that he and Xiaolan found in other rooms just now, "I also found 5 , 6 sets of the same thing, everywhere in this home."

"The murderer even designed the place outside the Japanese room, so it doesn't matter where the old man is no matter when the crime happened."

Hattori Heiji looked surprised, but he couldn't figure it out, "But that old gentleman himself admitted that he committed the crime."

Shinichi said: "This is because the old gentleman jumped into the trap designed by the murderer on purpose. As for the reason, I don't know."

Hattori said: "But, this room is a secret room. Could it be that you want to say that the deceased committed suicide?"

Shinichi denied, "No, he didn't commit suicide. And the prisoner also left clues of the real criminal methods he used."

"Have you forgotten, opera music was playing in this room at that time, and there was a tall stack of books on the desk. The opera was played to cover up the possible screams of the dead when they were stabbed with poisonous needles. This stack of books, It is to prevent the painful expression that may be produced when the deceased is stabbed."

Hattori didn't believe it, "How is it possible? Who is the prisoner trying to cover up with all his troubles?"

"It's just to cover your eyes and ears." Shinichi paused, looked at Hattori's surprised expression, and continued: "Of course it's not just you, but also Mr. Ran and Mori who entered the room with you at that time. If you noticed, It will destroy his plan. So I conclude that the murderer was the person who was closest to the deceased at that time."

Hattori was surprised, "So, the culprit is..."

"That's right, the culprit is you..." Shinichi turned his head, crossed the sky with his finger, pointing at Koe Tsujimura, "The culprit is you, Mrs. Tsujimura."

Everyone present couldn't believe it.

"The lady killed the master?"

"what?"

Mori Kogoro said, "So, when we entered the room, the victim was still alive?"

Xindao: "Well, because at the beginning, Madam just used some kind of medicine to put the diplomat into a coma. Then Madam Tsujimura stabbed the poisonous needle in while pretending to wake up the victim. Because the victim passed out early, So it was killed in a state of immobility. Opera and books, just in case."

Officer Mu Mu said: "Then if the sleeping pills are found on the corpse, this method will be exposed..."

Hattori interjected: "It won't be exposed, because we all believe that the deceased died before entering the house. The murderer specially called the detective to the scene, just taking advantage of the blind spot that the prisoner would not kill in front of him, and carried out psychological sex. Murder in the secret room. You want to say that, don’t you, Kudo?”

Shin nodded, Hattori went on to say: "In this case, you have to show evidence. At that time, Mrs. Tsujimura did not take out the poisonous needle at all."

Shinichi picked up the dropped key from the ground, slipped his hand, and cut off the oval key ring, "The key on Madam should have the same structure as the deceased's."

Officer Mu Mu stepped forward, "Madam, can I see the key?"

Koe Tsujimura was holding the bag with his hands, his face was ugly, Police Officer Megure found the key from the bag, and cut open the key ring, sure enough, there was a small slot inside.

Shinichi finally added: "This small slot should contain the poisonous needle next to the table."
