There were 6 people who rented this villa together. In addition to the deceased Shusaku Akashi and Aoi Kobashi, the remaining people were: actor Naoki Suikawa, designer Shoji Yamabuki, CG creator Takuto Momose and musician Shiro Naoki.

Interestingly, the names of these 6 people correspond to different colors.

For example, the deceased Shusaku Akashi, the pronunciation of Akashi in Japanese is close to red, so his corresponding color is red. Similarly, Aoi Kobashi's corresponding color is blue.

The remaining people correspond to green, yellow, pink and white respectively.

After Conan got the information and photos of other residents from Yui Uehara, he began to study them one by one.

Ryo Wakagi skillfully took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on, picked up the spray paint bottle on the ground and looked at it carefully, and threw it aside before the spray paint bottle exploded inexplicably.

"Tsk, I should have known not to wear light-colored clothes."

Wakagi Ryo lowered his head and looked at his shirt that was still splashed with a little red paint. It hadn't dried up after so many days. The quality was good. What was going on?

"Now I look more like a murderer."

Yamato Gansuke took a closer look at the shattered spray paint can, "Do you see anything?"

"Well, it's boring to be locked up and starved to death."

Yamato Gansuke:?

"If the victim wasn't so bored that he wiped the fingerprints off the spray paint bottle himself, then there were other people at the scene besides the murderer and the victim.

Otherwise, it's impossible that only the fingerprints of a rookie police officer were found on the spray paint can."

Wakagi Ryo pulled his shirt in disdain and turned to look at Zhufu Gaoming.

"So, I suggest you check the financial transactions of those four people. There might be some unexpected surprises."

Conan's face gradually showed a sad and angry expression.

Although I don't know what happened, why do I always feel like you have solved the case?

"Brother Ruomu, do you know who the murderer is?"

"Yeah, almost."

Ruomu Liang stood up, "But there is still one thing I can't figure out."

Conan's eyes lit up. What, Brother Ruomu also has a puzzle that has not been solved? Then do I still have a chance to deduce?

"Is it this wall that has been sprayed completely blood red?"

Ruomu Liang looked at Conan who suddenly became excited expressionlessly, and shook his head with a little pity.

"No, this wall is purely based on the principle of complementary color residual phase."

Conan's expression gradually became desperate.

Do you think I still have a chance to deduce?

Wakagi Ryo: "The two chairs at the scene were nailed back to back, which actually means the death message left by the deceased, which needs to be deciphered in conjunction with the walls on both sides.

The human eye has a complementary color mechanism. After staring at a large area of ​​red for a long time, the color presented on the retina will turn green when looking at white objects.

Don't look at me like that, I'm an art student after all.

The death message of Akashi Shusaku is to imply that the murderer is the actor Suichuan Naoki."

After saying this, Wakagi Ryo was stunned for a moment. How come I started to follow the reasoning seriously?

Detectives are really poisonous!

Seeing the disgusted expression on Wakagi Ryo's face, Conan and the Nagano trio all had question marks on their faces.

Since it seems that he has been assimilated by the detectives of this world without realizing it, Wakagi Ryo simply snatched all of Conan's reasoning scenes and started the script-style explanation directly.

"Humans can survive for up to three days without food or water. During these three days, Akashi Shusaku must have searched this small studio several times, so it is not difficult to find the bug installed by the murderer.

Akashi Shusaku should have used red spray paint to write the murderer's name directly on the wall, and then threw all the paints and painting tools in the studio except the red spray paint bottle out of the small skylight.

In this way, if the murderer does not return to the scene, the name on the wall can directly help the police solve the case.

If the murderer returns to the scene to retrieve the bug and wants to cover up the death message on the wall, there is only one thing he can do. That is to use the only red spray paint left in the studio to cover up his name.

In this way, it actually helps Akashi Shusaku complete the real death message."

Conan:!

In fact, when Wakagi Ryo finished saying the keyword "color-repairing residual phase", he had already analyzed the entire case thoroughly.

“That’s why the chairs were painted black and white.

I remember that the information showed that Akashi Shusaku was very fond of chess.The rule is that the white piece goes first, so first sit on the white chair and stare at the red wall, then sit on the black chair and look at the pure white wall...

This time the victim is really quite smart."

Conan finally caught the gap when Wakagi Ryo was talking and said something, and agreed with the IQ of the deceased Akashi Shusaku.

Wakagi Ryo nodded, "This is what I can't figure out."

Conan: "Eh?"

"If you have time to deal with so many things, wouldn't it be more direct to write the murderer's name on your body with paint? In fact, except for sex offenders and some serial killers who like to set up rituals, most criminals will not take off the victim's clothes.

Writing the criminal's name on the inner thigh or the sole of the foot, which is a more private part, won't it be clear at a glance during the autopsy?

He knows that the forensic doctor will take off the clothes when performing an autopsy, right? "

Conan: ...

"Um, maybe, if the paint falls off or something..."

Wakagi Ryo shook his ruined clothes, proving with his own actions that the paint bought by Akashi Shusaku was of absolutely excellent quality.

"Of course, considering that this place is remote, there may be a possibility that the body will not be discovered until it has rotted to a certain extent. It is indeed safer for Akashi Shusaku to use this method to leave a death message.

However, where did he get the confidence that the police here would definitely understand that he left a death message? Just because they entered the crime scene without wearing gloves and left fingerprints everywhere?

The Metropolitan Police Department... cough cough"

Wakagi Ryo swallowed back a certain adjective with obvious derogatory meanings, revealing a look of understanding.

Zhu Fu Gaoming silently lowered his head and rubbed the cat that ran to his feet at some point.

He really had no way to refute this.

"Brother Ruomu, I think you seem to be deliberately picking a fight. "

Conan complained with his half-moon eyes, a little uncomfortable with the aggressive Wakaki Ryo today.

"So, I asked Brother Ganzhu to check the accounts of those four people."

Conan:!!!

"Wait, what do you mean?"

The Nagano trio obviously reacted at this time.

"I thought you asked us to check the accounts just to find the third person who entered the crime scene."

Yamato Ganzhu frowned, and the whole person looked more fierce than usual.

"We all know that the murderer did not return to the crime scene to take away the bug. The person who painted the wall and wiped off the fingerprints on the spray paint bottle with a guilty conscience could only be a third person outside the case.

And since this person did not choose to call the police, maybe he wanted to use this as a threat to squeeze money from the murderer.

From his hands, perhaps we can get the key clues to incriminate the murderer. "

After all, a wall covered with red paint alone cannot be the decisive evidence of the case.

As long as the murderer insists that it was Akashi Shu who was mentally ill before his death, so he randomly painted the wall blood red, the police will have no way to catch him.

The Nagano trio looked at each other,

Zhu Fushi Gaoming had just been demoted to this jurisdiction for committing a crime, and such a case happened in the jurisdiction, and the deceased could be considered his acquaintance.

It was really too coincidental.

Zhu Fushi Gaoming had some guesses in his mind, but he did not express these ideas.

"The most urgent thing is to solve the case first."

Uehara Yui: "We don't have any evidence that can directly incriminate Suichuan Naoki. If we want to catch him, I'm afraid we need to make some arrangements."

Wakagi Ryo nodded, picked up Jingguang Maomao, and stuffed him into Zhu Fushi Gaoming's hands.

"It sounds like it will take a lot of time. Xiaoguang is in your hands, Brother Gaoming. ”

Zhu Fu Gao Ming:?

He took the confused Jing Guang cat and said slowly: "So you brought the cat here specially, expecting me to take care of it for you?"

Ruo Mu Liang nodded seriously at this time.

"It's okay for you to use it as a bodyguard."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming lowered his head, glanced at the ragdoll cat who began to lick his paws because of inexplicable guilt, and then raised his head and looked at Ruo Mu Liang silently.

Although he didn't say anything, it seemed that he said everything.

Ruo Mu Liang smiled without any guilt, and took Conan over, then looked at Zhu Fu Gao Ming's direction and nodded with satisfaction.

A ragdoll in the left hand and a corgi in the right hand. How great! Cats and dogs are both good.
