Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 189: The Challenge from the Novel

The sky was bright, and on the way to the destination Sapporo, Uncle Mori gathered everyone in the Big Dipper Friendship Car for reasoning.

"The motivation of what I want to talk about, the key to solving the puzzle is the slippery sentence that Asama robbed Mr. Izumo's jewelry store a week ago, 'This is different from what I said at the beginning'."

Uncle Mori stood next to Boss Izumo's body and hummed, "If the robbery was planned by Asama and Mr. Izumo, everything will fit together."

Uncle Maoli reasoned confidently under the gaze of everyone: "If I think right, Mr. Izumo specially asked Asama to grab the jewelry, and told him that as long as he returns the jewelry at that time, he will distribute the huge insurance money to him. .”

A criminal policeman questioned: "But when the incident happened, Mr. Izumo rang the alarm bell and drove him away without letting him steal anything?"

"That's because Mr. Izumo didn't intend to let him take away the jewelry from the very beginning," Uncle Mori said sharply, "Mr. Izumo wanted to increase his chances of running for the next mayor by repelling the robbers. Asama is just being used, Asama is a professional robber, even if he gets caught, it's fine...

"It's a pity that Mr. Izumo didn't expect that Asama was not caught, and he threatened him to let him take this train. Mr. Izumo, who was afraid of revenge, probably planned to make another deal with Asama, so he insisted on taking Beidouxing No. 3 ..."

Gao Cheng came over to the friendship car and took a look. After hearing the uncle talking nonsense again, he reluctantly walked away.

Giving hope to the uncle is really blind...

But when it comes to motives, there is indeed a lot of doubt.

The murderer committed the crime according to an unfinished novel that was not published ten years ago. If he is not sick, he must have some motive.

The conflict between Mayor Ishizume and Izumo Keitaro should be the first priority. This old man seems to have a lot of opinions on Izumo Keitaro. Not only does he think that the boss of Izumo is asking Anji Asama to put on a show, but he is also convinced that Izumo is secretly selling drugs. .

Kayue works under Izumo, so it is estimated that he has a lot of grievances, and it is not clear whether he will kill people.

Mrs. Izumo was also very surprised that the shooting made such a big commotion that the gangster opened fire at the door and was still sleeping soundly in her private room.

Only Mr. Aoba seemed to be a passer-by and had nothing to do with the incident.

Then there is that wise lady, who is also very suspicious.

While eating the chocolate, Gao Cheng ran through the possible suspects in his mind, and then walked to the door of the strange man's room.

The shattered windows remained the same, and the wind that leaked in made my hair flutter.

He went to the tunnel where Asama Anji's body was found before, and found no glass fragments, and the police at the scene said they did not find them.

This is also the reason why he judged that there was an inside story in this case.

The key is what method the real murderer used...

Pressing his forehead, he reviewed the details at high speed in his mind, and began to reconstruct the case based on what everyone said and what he saw.

The train drove into the tunnel, shot dead, the prisoner fled through the dark corridor, and fired a few shots into the room to break the glass... No, the glass should have been broken long ago, otherwise there would be no glass fragments in the tunnel.

After that, the murderer fired 2 more shots at Uncle Maori, threw the pistol into the room and fled in the chaos.

The problem is how the door closed from the inside when the uncle was chasing after him, and what happened to the corpse of Asama Anji who fell into the tunnel...

The rumble of the surrounding trains disappeared, and only Gao Cheng and the transparent carriage remained in the whole world.

Returning to the time when the incident occurred, the carriage passed through the tunnel. Assuming the speed remains the same, the time when Anji Asama fell into the tunnel was about 4:10 in the morning, which roughly coincided with the time Uncle Mori said.

But how did Anji Asama just fall down if the murderer didn't enter the box...

Traces of sweat dripped from Gaocheng's forehead, and the pushback against Anji Asama's corpse could not continue.

There are still not enough clues, and there are too many influencing factors. When it comes to moving trains, the deduction is much more difficult than before, and it is no longer supported by simple general physics knowledge.

no……

Abandoning the shallow landing simulation, Gao Cheng turned to analyze the situation of several suspects.

If a certain method was used, the tool should still be in the hands of the murderer.

Shotguns, fishing tackle, masks and bamboo swords, golf equipment...

If it is him, only by choosing fishing tackle can it be possible to arrange tactics.

After taking sleeping pills for Asama, you can hang it out of the car window with a fishing line. The fishing line must not be left at the scene. Bind Asama and pull it to another room to tie it up. Cut it off directly when the time comes to facilitate recycling of the fishing rod reel .

As for the door closing automatically, just wrap a piece of fishing line around the door...

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on the door. There was no place to tie a fishing line on the door, but there was a snap-like hook on the door frame, which was used to lock the door.

In this case……

Gao Cheng groped on the door for a while, and found a place where tape had obviously been pasted, which happened to be parallel to the door buckle.

Once the fishing line is pulled, the door can be easily closed. It seems that the murderer has indeed used this method.

Car B has two floors, and there is a staircase next to the shallow room, and the rooms on both sides of the stairs, one is Boss Izumo, and the other is Kagoshi.

Even if the fishing line is arranged in advance, it is difficult to be found.

In addition, the mystery of the murderer's sudden disappearance can also be explained. At that time, the murderer must have ran to the stairs while in disorder, cut one end of the fishing line before Uncle Maori approached, and recovered the fishing line through the reel at the other end.

The body fell, and the door was closed due to the pulling force.

When the uncle opened the door again, there was no one in the room, only the broken window. It was easy to think that the murderer had jumped out of the window and escaped.

The murderer is undoubtedly Kayue, but he pretended to be a weirdo and shot Izumo, and then staged a scene of "the murderer's accidental death"...

But there is no evidence, no conclusive evidence, all the reasoning is only on the surface, it is estimated that even the Nishimura police officer will find it difficult to convince.

"Officer Nishimura!" In the friendship car, Uncle Mao Li's reasoning was over, and Nishimura's subordinates said after answering the phone, "Contact with the scene, we already know the time when Asama fell into the tunnel!"

"Huh?" Conan was thinking about whether to go to Gao Cheng, but he stopped in doubt.

"Judging from the speed of the train and the location where the body was found, it should have fallen at around 4:10 in the morning," the subordinate explained. "This roughly coincides with the time when the murderer escaped into the room..."

Conan's face was shocked: How is it possible? The murderer threw the body in such a short time before fleeing the room? Impossible... It is impossible for human beings to do it. We were only delayed for a second by dodging bullets...

"By the way," the police officer continued, "It seems that the glass fragments haven't been found yet..."

Nishimura frowned in dissatisfaction: "Didn't I say to look for it?"

"But I have searched within a kilometer of the location where the body was found..."

While contacting the search personnel at the scene, the police officer said to Nishimura, "Also, when they moved the body just now, they found fragments of tape sticking to the belt hole on the back of the trousers."

"adhesive tape?"

Conan was startled when he heard the words, a light flashed in his mind.

"Could it be..."

"So that's how it is," Gao Cheng's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the friendship car, "I roughly know what's going on? The real murderer is not Anji Asama himself."

"what?"

Nishimura, Uncle Mao Li and others looked at Gao Cheng in surprise.

"What are you talking about? Who else is the murderer besides Asama?"

"Yes, the police at the scene have confirmed that the time when Asama fell into the tunnel coincides with the time when the murderer escaped into the box..."

"Did the murderer really escape into the box?" Gao Cheng asked back.

"This……"

"If you didn't escape into the carriage, what happened to Asama?" Uncle Maori snorted, "And I saw the door being closed from the inside with my own eyes..."

"It should be just a cover-up," Gao Cheng interrupted, "What you saw was actually someone disguised as Asama."

Uncle Mao Li stared at Gao Cheng with a slumped face: "Then you are telling me who the real culprit is, and how did you deceive us by using blindfolds."

Gao Cheng glanced over everyone at the scene, without pausing on Jia Yue, but affirmed: "I don't know who it is, but I know that the murderer is among us, and this incident is not over yet."

Conan looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, and a series of words suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The young man showed a ostentatious smile... He didn't know that he would fall into the fate of being murdered because of his reasoning ability..."

"Kirodo..."
