capitalist in famous detective

Chapter 76

"The wound on Miss Wendy's body is very strange. I didn't find a contusion wheel on her body." Kudo Yusaku whispered a few words to the crew, and began to make his own reasoning.

"What's that?" The sudden appearance of a new noun caused a look of bewilderment on the faces of everyone who was eating melons and watching the show.

"Also known as the impact wheel, when the high-speed rotating bullet pierces the skin, it will strongly rub against the skin, contusing the wound, and causing a ring-shaped epidermis to peel off at the edge of the wound.

If the bullet enters the skin vertically, its shape is star-shaped; if the bullet enters the skin obliquely, it has an oval shape, making the contusion wheel of some value in identifying the entry point.

Of course, if shot from a great distance, the wound will not appear as a distinct contusion wheel. "

"So that woman was killed by a sniper rifle!"

As soon as Yusaku Kudo finished speaking, a passenger suddenly shouted as if he had discovered a new world, "The murderer must have launched a sniper attack not far from the cruise ship in a motorboat!"

These words caused quite a commotion.

Watching the detective reasoning is entertainment for the rich man on board, but not so much when his own life is at stake.If there are still snipers outside the cruise ship, wouldn't it be possible to threaten his life at any time?

"A very bold idea." Kudo Yusaku nodded, recognizing the possibility of sniping from the sea, "But this is impossible, even if the murderer's sniping level is different from ordinary people, he can ignore the darkness, and he can shoot from [-] kilometers away. To hit the dead man's chest, you have to go through the round window of the game room first.

This kind of window can only be opened and closed from the inside, and it was closed at the time of the incident. After my inspection, there were no cracks. "

Killing the people in the house without breaking the window with one shot, this kind of thing can't be successful even with the help of Shuichi Akai or Daisuke Jigen.

In this way, the possibility of sniping was basically ruled out.Everyone looked at Yusaku Kudo eagerly, waiting for his answer.

"First of all, the scene does not constitute a secret room. Anyone can enter the door of the game room. After locking the door from the inside, the door can still be opened from the outside with the key.

In other words, locking the door from the outside with a key works the same as locking it from the inside.As long as they have the key, anyone can come and go freely at the scene of the crime. "

This slow explanation made some impatient passengers become impatient, "Just tell me, how did that woman die?"

Just then the crew finally brought what Yusaku Kudo needed - a red balloon.

"Well, if you have to say it, it was this hydrogen balloon that killed Miss Wendy."

???

As soon as these words came out, even Bai Chuan, who was busy building his own hypnotist army, turned his head in surprise.

So this Hollywood porn star actually committed suicide?

"Hahaha~~~"

There was laughter at the scene, as if amused by Yusaku Kudo's wonderful speech. "Suicide? That's right, it's suicide. After a person commits suicide with a gun, he gets up and hides the murder weapon before he dies. Hahahaha! Is this the reasoning of a detective? I laughed so hard."

"Didn't you hear the big detective say that the murderer was a balloon? It must have been a balloon that shot the unlucky girl to death with a single shot, and then deflated itself. No way, I can't go on, it's so funny!"

Obviously, these rich people seem to gather here to watch the famous detective make a fool of himself and expect him to destroy his reputation.

Yusaku Kudo didn't show any displeasure in the face of these taunts, he took out a small steel ball from nowhere and clamped it between two fingers.

"There were abrasions on the thumb and index finger of the deceased's right hand, which is evidence that she had held something with her fingers before she died, that is, the bullet that caused her death."

scrape?bullet?
Bai Chuan has already reacted, according to this statement, there is no need to use guns in this case at all.

But can it really be done?
If the balloon is placed in the middle of the table, the dead man holds up the bullet to observe.Then the balloon, the bullet, and the chest of the deceased were indeed connected in a straight line. At this time, if the light from the cigar could really cause the hydrogen balloon to explode, with that kind of impact, it might really be able to kill people.

And in this way, it is a matter of course that there is no contusion wheel.

As Shirakawa expected, Yusaku Kudo stood sideways, holding a steel ball in front of the balloon, and with the light on the cigar getting closer and closer to the balloon, there was only a bang, and the steel ball was already embedded in the ground .

"It can really be done!"

"Isn't this too miserable? It's really unfair to die."

Such a strange way of death caused another small-scale commotion in the crowd watching the excitement, but this time the commotion did not last long, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

A dead person appeared on the boat. The trip to the so-called private island is obviously coming to an early end. The excitement here has been watched. Compared with the follow-up, the rich are obviously more concerned about whether they can have a pleasant life in the second half of the night.

"Is there any hidden story in this case?" Seeing Kudo Yusaku who was frowning tightly, Shirakawa asked in a low voice.

A detective who doesn't have any happy expression after solving a crime is very telling.Could it be that because the person behind the case is too powerful, even Yusaku Kudo has to cover up?

"No, that's how the case is." Yusaku Kudo shook his head, denying Bai Chuan's speculation, "I will not lie about this kind of thing, if there is a murderer, no matter who he is, I will directly point out that I will never cover up .”

"But you still call this incident a case. If it's a suicide or an accident, shouldn't it be described as a case?"

Shirakawa grasped the loophole in Kudo Yusaku's speech and didn't want to let it go.

"If you have to say it," Kudo Yusaku laughed at himself, "I might be the real murderer who killed her."

What do you mean?
"I didn't lie to you. The captain of this ship has a good relationship with me. I received an email from him a few days ago, and I was invited to have a small gathering on the yacht. But I didn't know until I got on the ship that the captain suddenly had acute appendicitis. Had to disembark for treatment. So I was left alone."

Yusaku Kudo, who has connected all the clues together, understands that this seemingly bizarre case is likely to be a temptation for him by someone.

"I asked the crew just now, and there is a hydrogen balloon on every table in the event room, and it was the first time it was put on this voyage.

As for Ms. Wendy, she certainly didn't plan to attend this yacht party at first, or she was called suddenly. "

"Why?" Shirakawa had roughly guessed what Yusaku Kudo meant.

The case this time was undoubtedly a suicide, but it was an arranged suicide. Ms. Wendy voluntarily died in such a bizarre way after reaching an agreement with someone.

But why do you want to do this?In order to test the detective's reasoning ability?
"I thought it was a test done by someone." Yusaku Kudo looked into the distance, looking at the deck that was already full of lust.

"But I just discovered now that this may just be a sudden idea of ​​a rich man when he was bored, a play with human life as the object."
