The Advent of the Infinite King

The problem is the eyewitness statement of the old man who witnessed it, which is also the biggest obstacle to the current reasoning.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen went directly to the building opposite the swimming pool, rang the doorbell of the room where the old man was living, and an old man with white hair sitting in a wheelchair came out to open the door.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Is there something wrong? Little brother."

"Hello, grandpa." He smiled, "my uncle detective asked me to come here, and wanted to ask grandpa some questions."

The old man blinked, "Ask me a question? Then please come in."

Except for some necessary furniture in the room, the rest are painting tools.

"Grandpa, are you a painter?"

The old man smiled and said, "This is just my old man's pastime."

On the picture frame in the center of the room is a picture of an athlete diving that seems to have been drawn just now.

"Did you see the painting from here?"

"You're right." The old man said, "As an old man, I usually draw some pictures at a fixed time for entertainment."

"fixed time?"

"I also drew that painting tonight. That young man's name is Saijo. It's really a pity." The old man shook his head, "It's because he turned off the light and practiced so hard that this kind of thing happened."

Xie Chen frowned slightly, "You said he turned off the light?"

"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "So I drew this picture with the full moon as the background on the spot."

"So, you didn't see Saijo-san's face at that time?"

"Yes, but that scene is so beautiful." The old man raised his head slightly, "I seemed to see the brilliance on his face, and suddenly felt that the painting was like a fountain of thoughts, and I called it Leaping in the Moonlight .”

"It's so beautiful..." Xie Chen thought: If Nishio Naoya's head hit the diving platform, his body's balance should be messed up.

Later, Xie Chen returned to the swimming pool with the painting.

"Little devil!"

As he left without saying hello to anyone, Mori Kogoro yelled when he saw him, "Where did you go?"

Mao Lilan also said: "We are really worried, Xie Chen."

There were only three of them left in the swimming pool at this time, Xie Chen stuck out his tongue and ran towards the diving platform.

"See how I deal with you, come here." Mori Kogoro followed closely.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xie Chen turned on the watch-shaped anesthesia gun on the diving platform.

Mori Kogoro fainted immediately, turned around on the spot, and with Xie Chen's slight push, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the diving platform.

"Are you okay, Dad, Xie Chen." Mao Lilan shouted from below.

Xie Chen first pasted the stickers, then hid at the stairs of the diving platform, and said in Mouri Kogoro's voice: "Xiaolan, go and tell everyone to gather here."

"what?"

Five minutes later, the police and club employees arrived at the swimming pool.

Police officer Mumu raised his head and asked, "What's going on, brother Maoli."

Xie Chen cleared his throat and said, "I already know the real murderer of this incident."

"Murderer?" Police Officer Mu Mu said, "Isn't this an accident?"

Xie Chen said, "Yes, this is a seemingly accidental murder case."

"What did you say?" Police officer Mu Mu was shocked. Originally, he was about to close the team, and the club employees also began to look at each other.

"At first, what made me suspicious was what Xie Chen said about the earplugs. That was the murderer's mistake."

Xie Chen said: "He made Saijo contestant smell the ether gas, and after he was exhausted, he put the earplugs he was using directly into Saijo contestant's ears while he changed his swimsuit."

"Next is the swimming cap, Officer Meguro, have you found any blood, hair, or signs of a fight on the edge of the diving platform?"

"No, none of this was found." Police Officer Meguro said, "Could it be that the murderer wore a swimming cap to cover up these things?"

Xie Chen said: "It's absolutely correct. All this is just a disguised act to make the crime by the pool look like an accident that happened during the diving platform practice."

"what?"

"Then the murderer left after putting the clothes he took off into Saijo's locker, so it was not locked."

"That's true, but why can't we find any evidence anywhere, Brother Maori." Police Officer Mu Mu asked: "And, how to explain the witness's statement?"

Xie Chen said: "About the witness's question, I can conclude another theory from the analysis of the statement that he went to the balcony to enjoy the swimming pool at the same time every day."

"What? Will he be on the balcony at a fixed time?"

Xie Chen said: "In other words, everything he witnessed was not accidental, but someone's deliberate arrangement."

"You said that the deceased failed to dive on purpose for the old man to see. Could it be that he committed suicide?" Officer Mu Mu became more and more confused as he listened.

Xie Chen said: "If that's the case, he doesn't need to turn off the lights, deliberately making the swimming pool invisible."

Mao Lilan asked: "Turn off the light? Why do you want to do this?"
