Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 499: How can assassination be so inconvenient! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"but……"

After taking over the task, Officer Shiratori did not leave immediately. Instead, he cast his eyes on Bai Ye beside him, looked him up and down, and said slowly with a hint of intrigue, "Although we have accepted the task to investigate the scene, even if we find something there, we cannot conclude that Mr. Bai Ye is not a suspect."

At this point, Officer Shiratori paused for a moment, a hint of cunning flashed across his face, and his words were filled with a bit of ill intent, "Maybe he had planned this carefully from the beginning to the end, and deliberately created some clues to lure us to discover them, so as to clear himself of suspicion."

With Bai Ye's intelligence, it is entirely possible for him to design such a plan.

In addition, Moriya Teiji had previously attempted to attack Byakuya's friend Mouri Ran and kill her with a bomb. As Byakuya's good friend, it is not impossible for him to find a way to take revenge on Moriya Teiji.

It is precisely because of this that there is a voice in his heart that keeps shouting, and he is unwilling to let go of his suspicion of Bai Ye.

As soon as these words came out, before Inspector Megure could speak, Sato Miwako was already furious. Unable to suppress her anger, she immediately scolded coldly: "Inspector Shiratori, stop being unreasonable! During this period of time, Bai Ye has been wholeheartedly assisting us in solving cases, working tirelessly and contributing his wisdom without reservation. But you always speculate about him with malicious intent, and throw dirty water on him again and again without any basis and indiscriminately. This behavior is really too much!"

Not only was Sato Miwako indignant, but when Bai Ye heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes and his expression became a little more stern.

"Officer White Bird..."

Bai Ye raised his eyes and looked directly at Officer Bai Niao with a calm and indifferent expression. He said slowly, "I understand that you have doubts and lack of trust in me, which is understandable. But now the facts are in front of us, the evidence is irrefutable, and the investigation of the case is at a critical juncture. I sincerely hope that you can abandon the unwarranted prejudice in your heart, work together with me, and focus on finding the real murderer."

“This is the most important thing for us to do right now, and what we should do with all our strength.”

This Officer Shiratori is really annoying!
Moreover, being "slandered" and targeted like this, even with his good temper, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

It seems that he needs to teach a certain Coral Head police officer a painful lesson to let him know what a heavy price he will pay for acting recklessly and speaking without restraint!
"The real murderer?" Officer Shiratori snorted softly and no longer insisted that Bai Ye was the murderer. However, his eyes still showed stubbornness and full of suspicion, as if he was unwilling to let go of his suspicion of Bai Ye.

"I wonder if Mr. Bai Ye has any clues about the real murderer now?"

"If I'm not wrong..." Bai Ye stared at Officer Shiratori deeply, then stretched out his finger and tapped the screen, "This person should be the assassin who assassinated Moriya Teiji."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the screen, and a man wearing a peaked cap and holding a cigarette appeared clearly on the screen. The man looked ordinary, but there was something indescribably strange about him.

"he?"

Inspector Megure looked at the man, his brows unconsciously wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, his expression full of confusion and puzzlement.

Didn't they suspect the other three people of suspicious behavior before? Why did they suddenly change their focus and identify this person as the murderer of Moritani Teiji?
It kept changing, it kept changing, it really confused him, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Who is the real murderer of Moritani Teiji?
"This guy is just wearing a hat and smoking a cigarette. What's the big deal?"

Because Sato Miwako had repeatedly scolded him for Bai Ye, Officer Shiratori was already furious and as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His words were full of impatience, crackling like firecrackers.

Miwako Sato frowned and analyzed the situation in detail. "No, if a fan is really waiting to meet their idol, they definitely won't dress like this. Fans often go to great lengths to show their best side in front of their idols. Things like smoking will never happen when they are meeting their idols."

Hearing this, Bai Ye nodded approvingly: "Meihezi is right."

As expected, she is the girl he likes, she is different from ordinary people.

Well, at the very least, compared to the useless people in the third investigation department, his Miwako undoubtedly has the qualifications to become a famous detective.

Officer Megure stared at Bai Ye and the man in the peaked cap in the video for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and said, "Brother Bai Ye, even so, we can't definitely determine that he is the killer. Maybe he is just a passerby who likes to join in the fun. He heard that a big star was coming, and out of curiosity, he squeezed in to watch the fun. This kind of thing is not impossible."

Afterwards, he sent people to investigate the group of "fans" who had blocked their way on the road. They included fans and "spectators" who passed by the Mihua Cinema and saw how lively it was there, so they went over to join in the fun out of curiosity.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the man in the baseball cap is also one of the spectators.

"No... He's not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun." Bai Ye shook his head slightly, his tone firm and steady, and then said solemnly, "Officer Megure, if you look at the cigarettes he smokes, you can tell the clue."

"cigarette?"

Inspector Megure was attracted by these words and once again turned his gaze to the screen.

Suddenly, Officer Gao Mu seemed to have discovered something surprising and couldn't help but shouting, "It seems that this man's cigarette is not even lit!"

Sato Miwako looked solemn and added in a serious tone, "Also, he didn't bite the cigarette normally, but held it between his lips."

"Holding it in his mouth?" Officer Megure's pupils shrank suddenly. He looked at him carefully and couldn't help but look surprised. "Yes, he did hold it in his mouth. Moreover, the shape of the cigarette in his mouth was a little bit wrong. One end was thick and the other end was thin. This was really weird."

Normally, most smokers bite the cigarette holder, and few people hold the cigarette in their mouth. But the man in the video behaves so abnormally, which is really puzzling.

Moreover, generally speaking, for cigarettes, the thickness of the cigarette holder is the same as the cigarette body, but the cigarette holder in the cap's mouth is obviously much thicker than the cigarette body, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the cigarette in the cap's mouth was rolled by himself, so the thickness of the cigarettes varies.

As for the truth of the matter, they will know after they investigate.

"No, it's not surprising at all, because he has to do this." Bai Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

When Officer Gao Mu heard this, he subconsciously lowered his head, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Bai Ye in shock: "Mr. Bai Ye, are you saying that the cigarette was the murder weapon?"

Considering that Bai Ye accused the man in the cap of being the murderer of Moriya Teiji, and that the man specifically pointed out the cigarette in the cap's mouth, he seriously suspected that the reason why the man in the cap was able to successfully assassinate Moriya Teiji in front of the police was probably related to the cigarette in his mouth. It was even possible that the cigarette was the murder weapon that killed Moriya Teiji.

But, is it really possible for such a thing to happen?

"Cigarettes can kill people? This is unheard of."

As soon as these words were spoken, the police officers who were searching the three departments looked at each other in bewilderment, with expressions of disbelief written all over their faces.

"A thin piece of paper can cut a person's throat under certain circumstances, killing someone without anyone noticing. Why can't a cigarette be a murder weapon? Of course, the 'cigarette' I'm talking about is not the ordinary cigarette we see in our daily lives."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression still calm and composed, and he explained leisurely.

When everyone heard this, their eyes were all focused on Bai Ye. They pricked up their ears, eager to hear what he was going to say next. They were even more curious about what the mysterious and murderous "cigarette" he mentioned was.

Noticing the burning gazes of the crowd, Bai Ye coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, this man should be a professional killer, and the weapon he used is a special weapon called 'blowgun'."

As we all know, Yondu, as Star-Lord's adoptive father, has only appeared in two movies, but the audience is undoubtedly impressed by his personal charm. When Yondu died, countless viewers in front of the screen had tears in their eyes.

In addition to his personal charm, there is another reason why Yondu is so missed, that is, he can kill people with just a whistle.

——In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 10, Yondu was surrounded by Thanos's men. The leader held a gun, trying to force him to surrender, but Yondu just blew a whistle calmly, and in less than seconds, all the soldiers on the field were cleared out by Yondu.

And the weapon that killed all the soldiers, with a power comparable to snapping his fingers, was Yondu's weapon - the whistle arrow.

The Whistle Arrow, whose real name is the Yakka Arrow, has its arrowhead forged from the sound-sensitive Yakka metal that is a specialty of the Centaurs. It can naturally establish a mental connection with Yondu, and then control its flight through a whistle. But in fact, it doesn't matter if the Whistle Arrow can't hear Yondu's whistle.

Because, the mind connection is the key to Yondu's whistle arrow. In Guardians of the Galaxy II, when Yondu was slaughtering the traitors in the monitoring room, the whistle arrow could not hear his whistle at all, and its trajectory was completely. In Guardians of the Galaxy III, Kraglin, the successor of the whistle arrow, also confirmed this point. Only when the user's mind is unified can the true power of the whistle arrow be brought into play.

Of course, the blowgun arrow that Bai Ye mentioned is definitely not Yondu’s whistle arrow. After all, the world he is in now is "Detective Conan", not "Guardians of the Galaxy"!
"Blow darts?"

Everyone had a confused look on their faces. They were whispering to each other and discussing this strange and odd name, wondering what on earth it was.

"Yes, it is a blowgun. And it is not an ordinary blowgun. It is a blowgun with poison on the arrow body, or to be more precise, the needle body."

Bai Ye nodded slightly when he saw this, with a different look in his eyes, and then continued: "If you use the 'blow arrow' skillfully, you can easily make the blow arrow penetrate any part of the human body. The needle hole on Moriya Teiji's forehead is the most powerful evidence of all this."

Arrows were a common hunting tool used by ancient people.

However, the Indians invented a powerful weapon, the blowgun dart, also known as the tube arrow. A thin arrow was blown out through a bamboo tube with the mouth.

It is said that it can penetrate into the body of its prey from dozens of meters away.

——Blowguns have a long history. Initially, hunters used them to kill animals, and later they gradually evolved into a weapon.

If you apply potion on the arrow, you can subdue the enemy in a short time.

The blowgun is divided into two parts: one is the blowpipe and the other is the blowpipe.

The so-called blowgun is a structure with one end thin and the other end thick. Physically, it is also easy to understand that the thick end is facing the mouth, because it has a larger windward area, it can withstand more air thrust.

The thin end has two functions. One is to reduce air resistance, and the other is to make it easier to penetrate into the skin and flesh, just like a bullet.

However, blowpipes are small in mass and certainly not as powerful as bows and arrows, so the arrowheads are usually coated with a little poison or anesthetic to paralyze the prey's entire body.

In addition, this blowpipe is also very particular, it is thick at one end and thin at the other end.

The thick end is designed to fit the size of a person's mouth so that enough air can be blown in.

As for why the other end should be thinner?

the reason is simple.

Because the air flows out faster at the thinner end.

The speed, accuracy and power of the blowgun far exceed those of traditional slingshots. It is also small in size, easy to operate, and can hit the target quickly and accurately, making it suitable for outdoor survival, hunting and exploration.

However, although it seems simple to blow the arrow out, it is not that easy to operate. First, the body must remain stable, then the arms and wrists must hold the quiver tightly, and then aim at the target and shoot. During the whole process, the head, hands, and arms must not shake at all, and the slightest movement will cause a huge deviation.

"Professional killer? Blowgun?"

When Inspector Megure heard this, he seemed to suddenly remember something. His face suddenly changed and his expression became serious. He then looked at Sato Miwako and ordered her, "Miwako, quickly pull up the relevant video footage of the case we encountered near the Beika Hotel last time."

"A case encountered near the Rice Flower Hotel?"

Hearing Inspector Megure's order, Sato Miwako was slightly startled, and then, as if she had thought of something, her pupils shrank suddenly, and then she quickly retrieved the relevant video footage of that case from the computer...
