Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 264 Reasoning Showdown between East and West
  "I already know the methods of the secret room, and of course I already know who the murderer is."

"What do you already know?" Mouri Kogoro was also surprised.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Hattori Heiji in shock. Police officer Megure next to him looked at the confused Mouri Kogoro with a look of disgust, "This is all your fault, Moori brother, it seems that this time it's Kanto. Lost."

Mouri Kogoro still wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain that he often fell into coma at the scene of the crime. In short, every time his neck would feel like being bitten by a mosquito and he would fall into a coma.

Seeing the surprised looks in everyone's eyes, Hattori Heiji said confidently, "As I said before, the windows in the room were locked from the inside, and the only door was also locked at that time. Although it seemed like there was no gap, Impossible locked room murder case without a chance.”

Heiji paused, pointed to the study door and said, "Actually, there is a gap in the room that looks like a secret room!
  Mouri Kogoro carefully looked at the study door pointed by Heiji, and indeed found the gap Hattori said under the study door.

So he asked, seemingly understanding, "You don't mean to say that the prisoner threw the key into the victim's pocket through this gap, right?"

"What you said is true. As long as you have tape and the fishing line I just found to tie the iron needle, it will be fine." He took out the fishing line from his pocket and showed it to everyone.

Mouri Kogoro looked at the fishing line. He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why he said that, but now he accepted the penguin in his heart.

On the other side, Heiji held a needle and placed it in front of Megure who was lying on the ground. Megure looked at the needle nervously. He was really afraid that if he missed it, he would die.

Heiji didn't care whether Megure was nervous or not, he still calmly pointed at Officer Megure with a target, "That's what the murderer looks like. Now he stabs the victim with a poisonous needle in his neck, kills him, then snatches the victim's key, and then Tie the iron
  Pull out the fishing line of the needle, use this fishing line to help the other end of the iron needle stick to the tape, and then put one end of the iron needle into the victim's pocket, and then pass the fishing line through his pocket

Heiji pulled the hopeless Officer Megure and made Megure sit at the desk in a posture with his hands covering his face.

“Finally, let the victim sit on a chair and assume this posture, and then just hold the two ends of the fishing line and walk out, so that he can pull the fishing line out of the door, then close the door, and then lock the door. Then tie the fishing line to the key and pull it over.

Everyone listened to Heiji's reasoning and watched Heiji's operations. The key fell directly into Officer Megure's pocket just as Heiji said.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Officer Megure couldn't help but admit the correctness and feasibility of this method.

Officer Megure nodded and asked who the murderer was? Once the modus operandi is known, the case can be closed as long as the murderer is found.

Everyone looked at Hattori Heiji.

(It seems that I am going to win this East-West detective duel. Sleeping Kogoro is a parallel import detective who cannot stand trouble. Only Kudo Shinichi is worthy of being my opponent.)
  Hattori Heiji smiled and said to everyone: "After killing the victim, it takes 5 to 6 minutes to complete the technique I mentioned, and Fan Sui's time is from 3:4 to :, so come back here with us Mrs. Kemura, of course, could not rule out the suspicion, nor could the housekeeper, Mr. Koike. Although Mr. Kezen Takayama and his girlfriend also went to the second floor at that time, they did not have enough time, so they were also ruled out as suspects.

When Heiji said this, he turned to look at Tsujimura Toshimitsu and said: "Only you, old gentleman, only you have this possibility! The evidence is the fishing line used to tie iron needles that I just found in the Japanese room. The seed fishing line is a new material fishing line, and it is a special kind of fishing line, you don’t know that."

Looking at Kemura Toshimitsu's somewhat panicked eyes, Heiji continued: "I remember that we met you on the way to the study room, and you seemed to be going to the Japanese room at that time. In other words, you went there after the murder. You must have thought that your work was perfect, right? The fishing line I found in the Japanese room’s trash can is the strongest evidence.”

In fact, the reasoning up to now can be said to be very rigorous, just because there are some differences between talking on paper and reality, and some methods will only stay in an ideal state.

His reasoning cannot stand the scrutiny of reality. As long as someone notices that the key fails to enter the pocket, it will prove that Hattori Heiji is talking on paper. Sure enough, a police officer discovered that the key had not completely entered the pocket, but was stuck in the outer compartment.

"What?" Officer Megure asked in surprise.

Hattori Heiji also felt that something was wrong. How could there be a problem with his reasoning? No, this must be an error in the demonstration just now.

So Hattori Heiji proposed to demonstrate again.

"Okay." Officer Megure agreed.

However, the next demonstration was the same as last time, the key could not be fully entered.

"How can it be!"

Realizing that he might have made a mistake, Hattori's face burned extremely badly, and a sense of irritation burned through his whole body.

Knowing that this matter would be discovered sooner or later, Fujiwara had already thought of a countermeasure, so he knocked out Kogoro Mouri with a knife, then helped him to the wall and shouted, "Teacher, what's wrong with you? Teacher, why did you suddenly faint?" "

"Why did brother Maori fainted? Great, brother Maori, you are finally here. Please tell me what happened?"

Officer Megure, who knew that Kogoro was in a sleeping state, was the true detective, turned around and shouted.

Everyone looked at Kogoro in the corner, while Fujiwara supported Kogoro and turned his back to them.

After everyone was looking at him, Fujiwara turned his back to the imitator Kogoro's voice and said to several people, "Actually, I have been pretending to be confused since just now to test your reactions."

Everyone thought that Mori was on the first floor and they were on the second floor. In fact, everyone was on the first floor and only Fujiwara was on the fifth floor.

"What? Did you pretend that you didn't know anything just now? It's impossible. I don't think your confused look was disguised?"

This is true, Kogoro did not pretend to be confused, he was a bit confused to begin with.

"That's just to confuse a young boy like Hattori Heiji. You didn't even see through this, and you still proudly thought you were very powerful. It really makes me want to laugh."

At this time, Hattori Heiji was also very arrogant and shouted with a red face, "Then you, a sleeping detective, tell me, where did I go wrong?"

Fujiwara swallowed his saliva and calmed down. He was a little uncomfortable with imitating Mouri Kogoro's voice. After a pause, he said, "Then how do you explain the fact that the key can't fit into the double pocket?" Seeing Heiji fell into it. After silence, "You can't accept it. In fact, it can't be said that you were wrong in this matter, but that you fell into a trap carefully laid out by the murderer from the beginning."
