"I'm back now. How's it going, kid? Is there any progress?"
Seeing Karasawa and his party coming back, Mouri Kogoro, who had been impatient for a long time, quickly stepped forward to ask.
Naturally, Karasawa roughly told Kogoro Mori about what happened there, while Kazuye and Xiaolan found their respective sweethearts and asked them.
However, compared to He and Ye, Xiaolan seemed to have all her past longings exploded after seeing Kudou Shinichi. He had only left for such a short time, and Xiaolan was a little worried about gains and losses, fearing that he would never come back.
When he saw Shinichi come back, he hugged Kudo Shinichi's arm and refused to let go, regardless of his father's face, which was as dark as a briquette.
"I can't run, why are you hugging me so tightly..."
Although he felt very relieved, Kudo Shinichi looked helpless when he saw that Karasawa and others had begun to inspect the scene.
"But... I always feel like if I lose my hand, you will disappear..."
Xiaolan felt a little aggrieved and a little shy. She blushed and hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I don't want to let go..."
The shy look on the girl's face combined with the somewhat submissive, but straightforward and firm words instantly destroyed Kudo Shinichi's rational defense.
‘What the hell! Aren’t you going to give me the antidote in the future? I’ve agreed on this meeting!!’
Kudo Shinichi was wailing crazily in his heart. All the previous instructions given by Karasawa were abandoned by him. He immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't leave. I..."
After a pause, Kudo Shin opened his mouth, and finally said with a heartfelt smile: "I still want to date you, so I won't disappear in the blink of an eye.
You let me solve the case now, otherwise our appointment time will be delayed."
"Well…"
Kudo Shinichi's straightforward and almost confessional words instantly "sinked" Xiaolan, her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and invisible explosion smoke seemed to appear above her head.
Her brain, which was down, became dizzy after that, as if she was drunk, and she didn't even know when she let go.
"Hey, wake up, Lan-chan is back to her senses~"
A seemingly distant shout came, and when Xiaolan was woken up, she realized that the person standing in front of her was already He Ye.
"Hey, please tell me honestly, what kind of ecstasy soup did Kudo pour into you?"
Looking at Xiaolan who had just come back to her senses, Heye's eyes flashed with gossip: "From the beginning, I saw that your face was extremely red with shame, and then Kudo said something to you, and then you seemed to drink
It was as if he was drunk, and he immediately became unresponsive."
"I..." Xiaolan couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard her best friend's description: "It's nothing!"
"How can you behave like this?" Heye said with disbelief on her face, and she said firmly: "I must have said some love words, that's why you reacted like this!"
"Love words..."
The thin-skinned Xiaolan recalled what the other party said, and her face, which had returned to normal before, turned red with embarrassment, making Heye even more certain.
But no matter how she pressed, Xiaolan refused to tell her what they had said before.
In this somewhat solemn atmosphere, the two girls' play brought a bit of vitality.
However, compared to Xiaolan and the others, Tang Ze and others who were surrounding the car at the crime scene had serious faces.
At this moment, they were gathering around the accident car, carefully inspecting the car for strange signs.
"But are you sure the car was driven this way?"
After seeing the scene, Miwako Sato, a veteran of drag racing, was also incredulous about the circumstances of this case.
"Although it is indeed bizarre, it just happened."
Tangze nodded and said: "Let's not talk about that first. I think the marks on the sealing strip next to the driver's window are a bit suspicious, as if they were cut by a sharp rope such as fishing line."
As he pointed to the window sealing strip above the driver's door handle, everyone also stared there and found that those black sealing strips had indeed been scratched by something from the outside.
The vertical marks looked very obvious, and Tangze's description was indeed vivid. They looked like marks cut by fishing lines or the like.
"Hey, don't you think that the criminal put a thin line like fishing line on the victim's rope, and then strangled the victim to death from other vehicles that were moving forward at the same time?"
Mouri Kogoro asked with a disapproving expression.
"This is absolutely impossible to achieve."
Hearing this, Tang Ze shook his head and said: "If we use that method and use the power of the car to pull out, the cervical vertebrae may be broken by the huge force before the victim suffocates."
"So this is also a nerve-wracking part." Hattori Heiji said helplessly.
"But what's a little strange is that the window of the deceased's car was fully open." Kudo Shinichi knelt down and looked into the car.
"Could this guy be a heavy smoker?" Mouri Kogoro said, looking into the car and saying, "Look inside the car ashtray, it's filled with cigarette butts."
"If it is to let the smoke escape from the car, then it makes sense to open such a large window." Sato Miwako agreed.
"But this is a highway, and there are speed requirements. Today is the minimum speed, and the wind will be strong."
Hearing this, Tang Ze said: "If you just want ventilation, you only need to open the top a little."
"But how much is enough?" Kudo Shinichi said: "We don't smoke, so we don't know how much is appropriate under normal circumstances."
"I have experience with this. Those of you who don't smoke, stand aside."
Mouri Kogoro said in agreement, and then he volunteered to take out his handkerchief, dipped it in for fingerprints, and opened the car door: "I'll show you."
Mouri Kogoro stood in the opened car and slowly raised the window glass. However, when it was halfway up, two small transparent holes suddenly appeared on the glass.
"Hey, go up some more!"
Karasawa spoke quickly and motioned for Mouri Kogoro to roll up all the car windows. Finally, he saw that the top of the black sealing strip with dense scratches corresponded to the two small holes.
"Now we can confirm that the prisoner was strangled to death by one of you."
Tang Ze looked at the people standing not far from the car and smiled slightly: "Now I give you a chance to stand up and surrender.
Otherwise, there will be no chance when I tell all my reasoning."
After hearing Tang Ze's words, the three of them looked at him and looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"You said that guy was strangled to death?" Tadada Atsushi said in surprise: "And it was in a car that was traveling at high speed!?"
"Now it seems that this is it." Tang Ze nodded.
"Then you shouldn't doubt us." Taishi Shimojima said puzzledly: "After all, there is no way we can do such a thing, right?"
"No, only you can do this."
Kudo Shinichi walked up to the crowd and said: "As long as Mr. Gunpei makes that move, no matter which one of the three of you it is, he can be killed easily."
"Do, do the action...what action should I take..." Taishi Shimojima stuttered.
"What a joke!"
But compared to Shimojima Taishi, Mizoba Riko is a woman with a much more direct character. She looked at everyone with dissatisfaction and said: "We were racing at high speed at the time. How could we do anything else to kill Gunpei!"
"If we say it's okay, it's okay, understand?"
Hattori Heiji's words were very rude, but he was also very sure. He tapped the window with his thumb and said: "You only need to use the two small holes under the driver's seat window to kill easily!"
"Little hole!?"
Atsushi Tadada looked at the car window at Hattori Heiji's reminder, and was immediately surprised: "It's true, but how could a prisoner kill someone using only these two small holes..."
"This trick seems tricky at first glance, but there is a prerequisite that it does not encounter us."
Tang Ze's knife-like eyes glanced at the faces of the three people: "If we hadn't met, the car would still be moving forward after the deceased was strangled.
When the road is straight, the car only collides with the guardrail next to it, but if it reaches a curve, the car will never be as intact as it is now."
"Yes, when the time comes, the car will be crashed by a huge impact, and it will not be spared."
Kudo Shinichi echoed: "In this case, it will be troublesome to deduce the murder method of the prisoner."
"But in other words, now that we have encountered it, this method is actually not difficult while the car remains intact."
Hattori Heiji smiled confidently: "And it's all because of this little hole."
"Then, how did the prisoner commit the crime?" Taishi Shimojima couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple. You just need to put both ends of a fixed fishing line through the two holes on the car window and enter the car, so that the fishing line is fixed in the small hole."
Tang Ze opened his mouth and told the crime method: "After that, you only need to pass the two ends of the fishing line that entered the car through the gap in the seat cushion, pass it from the back, and then pass one end through the back of the deceased's tie.
After that, tie it with the other end of the fishing line, and a circular knot is formed.
After completing all this, you only need to induce him to open the electric window, and the fishing line will be pulled down by the car window, and his neck will be automatically tightened by the short and short fishing line, killing him."
"I just looked at the automatic window next to the driver's seat. It won't stop until the window is fully opened."
Hattori Heiji added: "So this method is completely possible."
"In that case, my suspicion should be cleared, right?" Atsao Tadada looked at the crowd and said, "After all, I just overtook him from behind and threw him away."
"Then I only honked the horn twice. The first time was because Junping's car suddenly slowed down, and the second time was because he was about to overtake and chase Mr. Tadada's car. I was very angry so I honked the horn."
Taishi Shimojima hurriedly explained.
"Then it has nothing to do with me." After hearing the two men's reasons, Mizota Riko also spoke directly: "I didn't do anything."
"No, didn't your car also slow down?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mizoba Riko and smiled, "It was precisely because you drove in front of Gunpei's car and took the lead in slowing down, so Gunpei wanted to avoid the car.
After the collision, it slowed down, didn’t it?”
"After that, he thought something had happened to you, so he drove into the passing lane and kept pace with you."
Hattori Heiji followed closely and said: "This is also when Taishi Shimojima mistakenly thought he was going to race again and pressed the horn for the second time."
"Hey, wait a minute, do you think it was me yelling there that attracted Jun Ping's attention and made him open the window?"
When Mizoba Riko heard the anger on her face, she looked at the two people next to her and said, "Hey, do you think I yelled like that?"
"This... it seems that there really isn't..." Shimojima Taishi hesitated after thinking for a while.
"There's no need for you to yell."
Karasawa looked at Mizoda Riko and said, "Actually, after seeing through this trick, the murderer has already been identified as you.
Because you are the only one who can easily ask him to open the window.
All you need to do is make an anxious and panicked look and pretend to yell when the two of you are driving side by side."
"So you opened the car window just to hear her shouting?" Mouri Kogoro was surprised and suddenly realized.
"No wonder Tang Ze Criminal said that after seeing through this method, the murderer was already identified."
Miwako Sato finally understood why the three of them were so sure that the other party was the murderer after seeing through their tactics: "This is indeed a technique that only you, as Gunpei's girlfriend, can do."
"And that's not all. Placing a murderous fishing line on the small hole in the car window can only mean that you are tampering with him while he is sleeping."
Tangze added: "After all, only you can use the excuse of waking him up, ask for his car keys, and enter the car to complete the trick.
And if the other two are prisoners, then they obviously have no chance to enter the car, and they will be easily discovered by you."
"Besides, the reason why he is sleepy is probably because you put sleeping pills in his drink in advance."
Kudo Shinichi looked at the woman and said, "You chose a killing method with various restrictions, and all kinds of evidence point to you."
"And opening a small hole in the car window also requires a lot of time to prepare in advance."
Hattori Heiji said: "And because Mr. Gunpei is an old smoker, he always keeps part of the car window open, so he won't notice what you are doing."
With one sentence each of the three men, they restored the details of various crimes. At the same time as they restored the criminal methods, they increasingly ruled out the suspicion of the other two people and pointed the finger at Mizoba Riko.
"Evidence, where's the evidence!!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, Mizoba Riko yelled at everyone: "If there is no evidence, why should you say that I am a prisoner? These are just your speculations!!"
"evidence?"
Tang Ze raised his eyes slightly, flashing a sharp look: "Of course."
