Conan's Corpse Picker

Then Jiang Xia stood up and looked towards the corner of the sofa.

There was a piece of string thrown there, and a mobile phone with a rose-red shell fell beside it-this should be the weapon used to kill Utakura Akiko.The mobile phone is also Utakura Akiko's mobile phone.

All of this looks like after Hirasaka Reiki killed Utakura Akiko in the meditation room, he arranged it into a secret room, then went back to his room, drank red wine to commit suicide, and committed suicide before committing suicide. It's the same as sending the text message "I'm resurrected" to the crowd with Akiko Utakura's mobile phone.

……

Until now, after seeing the second corpse and the murder weapon scattered next to this corpse, someone finally thought of calling the police.

——Hiroji Yagawa finally showed a bit of demeanor that a Tokyoite should have, and his reaction was a little faster than the others.

He stared blankly at Hirasaka Reiki's body for a moment, took out his cell phone, and started dialing.

Jiang Xia looked at him, thinking of the unchecked vodka again, hesitated for a moment, but did not stop him.

... The detective doesn't let others call the police, it sounds very suspicious no matter what.

In addition, if you think about it carefully, even if the police arrive, as long as the case is solved quickly enough for the police to locate the murderer immediately, then other passers-by will not attract too much attention, and it is easy to spend routine interrogation in troubled waters.

Moreover, calling the police seems to have other benefits - let the police know what happened here earlier, so that they can find a way to come over earlier and take over the aftermath, so that Jiang Xia can leave earlier and go to other places to see the scenery.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked around the scene while listening to Yachuan Koji's intermittent signal describing what happened in the villa tonight.

After reporting to the police, a group of people at the door gradually accepted the fact that "someone died" and gradually calmed down.

Jiang Xia noticed their movements, and was planning to remind everyone at the door not to enter the house and protect the scene like other detectives.

But when he looked over there, he was startled suddenly, and found that there was an extra person in the crowd at some point.

——Toru Amuro came back.

And at this time, he had already blended into the crowd as if nothing had happened.

According to Toru Amuro, he was in a deep sleep before, and then he gradually woke up from the noise and came to check.After all, he was just a passing guest tonight, and he didn't have Akiko Utakura's contact information. Naturally, he didn't receive a message from "Kira" on Akiko Utakura's cell phone. He found it a little later than others, which was actually quite reasonable.

While Jiang Xia was heading towards the door, he flapped his wings with Wutiangou who was next to Toru Amuro, and flew back.

It brought Jiang Xia the situation when Amuro Toru went out.

——The "lost" effect on Yuya Kazami seems to have ended.After Toru Amuro arrived, he successfully found this subordinate from under the tree, and then rushed back immediately, spending an extremely busy night.

Chapter 572

After Jiang Xia listened to Wu Tiangou's small report, he took a look at Toru Amuro's dark circles, and asked the boss to come in and look at the corpse.By the way, I told Amuro Toru what happened in the meditation room tonight.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia murmured about "vodka tricked innocent peripheral members into eating cookies" in a low voice.After all, from the perspective of "Jiang Xia persecuted by unscrupulous cadres", the memory before he woke up should still be in the vodka room.Such an important event cannot be treated as if nothing happened.

Toru Amuro knew about it, of course, and had heard the "cause and effect" from Vodka.

At this time, the murder case had already happened, so he didn't say much, just nodded, indicating that he knew.

Then he quickly focused his attention on the current case—unexpectedly, Vodka was right before saying that murders really happened here, and there were still two.

Toru Amuro looked at the corpse and said sleepily, "Let's find the murderer first." Then they went back to each room to rest...

After finishing speaking, he was planning to go to the meditation room to check the situation and find clues.

However, before turning around, Jiang Xia's voice came from beside him: "The murderer is probably Mr. Mifune."

Toru Amuro: "...?"

He froze for a moment.

The others were also taken aback.

Then they turned their heads in unison, and looked at Ryuji Mifune, the photographer who ran the cos shop.

Amuro glanced at the photographer, then remembered something, put on his gloves, picked up the phone on the ground, and glanced at the sending time.

From the appearance of the suspicious email to the discovery of two bodies one after another, until now, 5 minutes have not passed.

Two secret rooms, seemingly chaotic clues, a large number of suspects... Jiang Xia has found the answer now?

Amuro was silent for a moment, thinking of a series of incidents that he and Jiang Xia encountered recently.

The first was a disguised car accident. At that time, Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case was normal and slightly faster; after the two met Rum, Jiang Xia chose to "restrain" under his reminder; In the vampire villa, he was still restraining his reasoning.

Until now, there were no other interfering factors, and Amuro Torucai finally recalled Jiang Xia's terrifying speed of solving the case as fast as releasing the answer, and the reason why he suspected that he was "Uzo".

... No matter how many times you watched, the speed of solving the case, which seemed to skip the process of solving the problem, was still so fast that it was unimaginable.

In addition, such a comparison shows how much the previous car accident had affected Jiang Xia—compared with the present, Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case at that time was simply a tortoise.

……genius.I just don't know whether it is a genius who instigates crimes or a genius who solves crimes.

Speaking of which, according to this standard, vodka is really not wrong.

"..." Toru Amuro's thoughts wandered for a short while, and he soon came back to his senses, cutting off the idea of ​​this dangerous organizational style.

For the time being, he put aside the doubtful point of "whether the case was solved quickly or planned the case" that had been entangled for a long time, followed Jiang Xia's words just now, and looked at Ryuji Mifune at the door.

The photographer obviously didn't expect that Jiang Xia would suddenly call out his name.

He was dazed for a moment before he came back to his senses, showing an embarrassed smile: "Are you still asleep? For example, I dreamed that I killed someone, so I accidentally confused the two..."

The young detective glanced at his calf: "You smell a little red wine. When everyone gathered around the meditation room just now, you came relatively late... Judging from the state of the red wine spilled on the coffee table, you It is likely to be stained with poisoned wine, which is evidence that you got along with Mr. Hirasaka before he died."

Sanchuan Longer missed a heartbeat, he suddenly lowered his head, following Jiang Xia's line of sight, looking at his trouser legs.

However, it was found to be clean, without any wet stains, and no signs of discoloration after the red wine dried.

"..."

This detective is scamming him?

It's so insidious, I almost fell for it...

Ryuji Mifune felt like he was on a roller coaster, lifting it up and putting it down suddenly.He paused for a moment, just about to take a deep breath, and calmly denied it.

But before the words of rebuttal came out, there was a sudden exclamation from the side.

——Turning around, I saw Izumi Maho covering his mouth and staring straight at his neckline.

The others also looked at the past, and then were taken aback.

——Looking carefully, Mifune Ryuuji's neckline and tie were indeed splashed with some mottled red spots.It's just that they are the same color as the tie, and the light in the corridor is dim, so they have been ignored by the panicked crowd.

In the dead silence, Jiang Xia's voice sounded again: "You first bring the poisoned red wine and come to the study to talk to Mr. Hirasaka. After poisoning him, I got the key to the study and the meditation room from him. .

"After that, go to the meditation room and kill Ms. Utakura Akiko. Then take down the poster in the meditation room..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia had a short meal.

——Miss Spider suddenly jumped out of his shoulder, and the mermaid also swam towards Vodka in surprise——When facing ordinary people, Vodka seemed to be a little irritable than expected. At this moment, he was staring at Sanchuan Long Er, the whole body exudes the smell of vanilla ice cream.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Dinner shouldn't be so perfunctory, I'm so hungry...

However, there are still many people staring at him now.

Jiang Xia had no choice but to switch back from the "night snack" and try to speed up the progress of solving the case:

"After taking down the huge posters of different sizes, roll them up firmly, and finally tie several pieces of different lengths together to make a strong 'ladder'.

"After killing Ms. Utakura, locking the door of the meditation room, and using the ready-made wire reels in the meditation room to arrange the mechanism for closing the windows, the murderer can step on those posters and escape from the high window.

"Wait to climb out of the window, then use the rope tied to the poster to pull up the poster, take them, Utakura Akiko's cell phone, and the rope that killed Utakura Akiko, and return to the study where Hirasaka Reiki is.

"After using Utakura Akiko's mobile phone to send a group text message 'Kira has been resurrected', leave the mobile phone and the murder rope next to Hirasaka's body. Then open the drawer near the door in advance.

"Afterwards, leave the study room, lock the door, insert the rolled-up hollow poster from the transom above, let the key of this room slide into the drawer along the hollow passage, and then turn the notebook next to it to cover the key, and finally use the The poster roll was pressed against the drawer and closed, and the second secret room of 'Hirasaka Suicide' was formed."

"In this way, the illusion of 'Hirasaka killing Utakura Akiko and then committing suicide' can be created. Although these methods may sound superfluous, but Hirasaka Zero Teru's 'fanatic fans' combined with the 'God' But the identity of the stick can make this kind of statement barely tenable."

Chapter 573 Uzo's Hospitality

Needless to say, the last step left is understood by everyone.

——A poster that was firmly rolled up and stepped on by an adult male, even if it is unfolded again, will definitely leave traces, and it is easy to be suspected.

So Ryuji Mifune simply tore up those posters together, and sprinkled them into Hirasaka Zeroki’s room through the transom—this seemingly hysterical and confusing arrangement can also be deepened from the side. The illusion of killing people and then committing suicide".

"The meditation room where Ms. Utakura is located is deliberately arranged as a secret room, because if the police cannot solve the mystery of the secret room, they will suspect that there is a secret passage hidden in the room. Once they search in this direction, someone hidden in the secret room There are things that cannot be concealed anymore - such as the body of Miss Kira who died a year ago."

Mifune Ryuuji stared at the traces of red wine on his tie while listening to his steps of committing the crime being recounted.

Hearing that even the purpose of the crime was revealed without any suspense, he sneered and threw his tie heavily on the ground: "That's right! I killed all three of them, and those three bastards killed Kira! Killed my beloved Kira !"

The tie fell to the floor, smashing into pieces of the poster.

Ryuji Mifune looked at them, his hands trembling slightly: "Although it was to perfect the modus operandi, when I tore up her poster, I... I was really in pain."

"..." Behind him, Vodka secretly nodded in sympathy.

At the same time, the killing intent towards Ryuji Mifune was also a little lighter.

——After all, it wasn’t this person who wanted to tear it up. No matter how you think about it, it’s all Wu Zuo’s fault... Wu Zuo, this guy, it’s fine to treat other people as killing tools, but he even tortured the soul of the tools together... Insidious, anyway It's just insidious.

……

In the presence of two dead bodies, others paid less attention to the poster.

Their attention is now focused on a certain sentence of Mifune Ryuji: "'You killed the three of them'? The third person, could it be the editor Zenan who was killed by Kira half a month ago? ?”

Jiang Xia looked at Ryuji Mifune and found that the murderer himself seemed a little confused about the case.

So he looked at his watch and completed together: "I heard that the editor Zenan who died half a month ago was stained with his own blood before he died, and wrote a message of 'キラ' beside him, because Zenan and Ms. Kira Recognized, so 'キラ' is considered to be the katakana of Miss Kira's name.

"But in fact, the katakana of 'Mifune' is 'ミフネ', if the editor is used to writing vertically, as long as the person who first discovered the body—that is, Ms. Add a vertical line pointing to the death message of 'Mifune', and it will become pointing to 'キラ'."

Mifune Ryuji showed a look of sudden realization for a moment, and finally understood why the blame automatically went to Kira's head when he was the one who killed him.

Immediately following him, he frowned again: "This is just your guess! And how could Utakura cover me up? She obviously had a close relationship with Zenan—after Kira died, I eavesdropped on Hirasaka's conversation in order to find out the truth. Then I learned that at the party that night, besides Zenan, Hirasaka and Park Zhiki, there was another woman who went with Kira.

"Among these people, Zenan was the most unsuspecting, so I attacked him first, and wanted to ask the name of the woman who refused to save Kira, but Zenan just said that he didn't remember, and he wouldn't die until he died." Ken reveals who she really is.

"I had to kill Zenan first. After that, not long after, Utakura Akiko suddenly approached me, and said...that she knew everything I did. At that moment, I suddenly understood—she and Zenan There have been scandals all the time, Zenan refused to reveal the woman's name, he must be covering her up!

"The secret room I prepared was originally for Hirasaka and Pu Zhimu, but that woman threatened me with Zenan's death... Hehe, so I arranged the secret room of the meditation room for her."

"..."

Hearing this, Vodka rubbed his chin suspiciously, and began to guess whether Uzo had arranged all this, or if Mifune Ryuji had changed the dead without authorization when he killed someone.
