Chapter 191 The murderer is ‘us’

"What is she talking about?"

It seems that he cares about something, but he doesn't seem to care about something.

It mainly involves areas that Kuroba Kaito doesn't understand at all.

If it was a topic about skirts, stockings, high heels, bags, lipstick, cosmetics, etc., Kuroba Kaito was confident that he would definitely be able to answer the question with 100 points, and predicted that Shiraizu would definitely get zero points.

Kuroba Kaito repeatedly scratched the wall and wailed, "Why can't Kudo Shinichi speak nicely, Kudo Yusaku can't speak well, you can't speak well, and the bookstore staff can't speak well either!"

The first person who doesn't speak well is someone who speaks too well and deserves a beating, a typical youthful spirit. The second person who doesn't speak well is someone who knows something but doesn't say it, a typical Riddler.

Baishui, on the other hand, was frank and strict. He almost never took the initiative to explain something honestly. He used language games with ease. He had to ask questions repeatedly and use "reverse understanding" to piece together the truth.

The short-haired woman on the other side of the phone is a little bit of each style, a little bit of a hot-blooded middle-aged girl, a strong Riddler, and plays language games.

Shirasui's method of "apologizing first when things are undecided" is very good. Kuroba Kaito decided to follow his intuition and settle accounts with Shiraisu first when things are undecided.

He said quietly: "You definitely know the truth, tell me quickly."

"Your idol is here. Even if you don't tell the truth now, after a while, the detective will point out who the murderer is, right? Don't be mean."

He suddenly became wary again, "Wait a minute, if you don't say who the murderer is now, is it because there will be a second victim?"

What Belmod had said before resurfaced, and Kuroba Kaito was a little frightened, ""No Survival"?!"

No, no, no, there won't be another case where there are no survivors when the police arrive, right?

...The bookstore is now surrounded by the police, and the police want to take away personal belongings, and people inside can no longer use communication tools to communicate with the outside world.

In a sense, it does fit the Blizzard Villa model of being isolated from the outside world.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Bai Shui walked to the lobby on the first floor, "First of all, Kudo Shinichi is not my idol."

Two police officers came up to him and greeted him, "Hello, are you Ms. Hoshino? Please cooperate with the police in investigating the case and collecting evidence, and hand over your personal belongings."

"Secondly, there will be no new victims," ​​Bai Shui handed Hoshino Gardenia's bag and mobile phone to the police. "This is not a case of no survivors."

He apologized again, "Sorry, I am controlling my body and I will react instinctively."

For example, when locking on some details, you will not catch them with your eyes bright like a detective. Instead, you will pass by them faster than usual and continue to avoid them.

Kuroba Kaito was not familiar with this kind of instinctive reaction, so it was normal for him to miss the clue.

Bai Shui scanned the whole place and sat down on the sofa.

All the event participants have arrived, even Kudo Yukiko’s disguise as ‘Kudo Yusaku’ has also entered the venue.

Belmode sat in the corner, smiled at Bai Shui from a distance, opened the folding fan and lowered his head, reducing his sense of presence.

Kudo Shinichi was sitting on the sofa, holding his chin with one hand, frowning, and it seemed that he was deep in thought.

Kudo Yusaku nodded to Kudo Yukiko and signaled the start.

"Everyone is here," Kudo Yukiko said gracefully after receiving the instructions, "I think you have calmed down and are clearly aware of what happened."

"A murder occurred in the broadcast room on the second floor, and the murderer was an event participant who was in the bookstore at the time."

She looked around at everyone, and looked at each other in turn with Kudo Yusaku, Kudo Shinichi, and Bellmode. She couldn't help but glance at Bai Shui and quickly took it back.

"Shinichi," Kudo Yukiko called out, passing on the right to open the mic that he had just received to his son, "You are a witness to the event, so I will introduce it to you."

Kudo Shinichi stood up, frowned and scanned the people present, and simply said: "At the beginning of the event, except for Mr. Shiratori, everyone else was divided into two groups. Next, I will divide one group into two groups according to the order of seats.

call."

"When the case occurred, the four gentlemen from the first group and the second group were on the second floor. They were also stuck in a difficult situation. They were not acting together in a cooperative state. The routes were intersecting lines, and the intersection was at another elevator far away from the broadcast room.

,"

"At the moment when the screams appeared on the broadcast, they just crossed paths and could prove to each other that there was no time to commit the crime."

After counting them in turn, he said to himself, "The third group is us. We were on the third floor when the case occurred. We are cooperating with the fourth group, Miss Hoshino and Mrs. Fujiwara, and they are scattered in four areas on the third floor."

"The fifth group is Mr. Shiratori alone. He was on the first floor at the time. He opened the window and called the police outside the first floor as soon as the abnormality occurred. The police personnel can testify for him."

"...that is to say."

Kudo Shinichi said word by word: "Everyone has an alibi, and no one has the time to commit the crime."

The whole place was quiet.

"So I thought, could it be a small group that committed the crime?"

Working in pairs, they can work as a team and prove each other's case.

"However, when the case occurred, the first group and the second group met far away from the broadcast room. The number of people was too large and the possibility of cooperation was too low."

The lucky ones are picked at random and no one knows them.

Kudo Shinichi added: "Mr. Shiratori's witness is the police, and there is no possibility of cooperation."

"Only my third set and the two ladies' fourth set remain."

Excluding Kudo Shinichi, there were three suspects. He looked at the suspects.

At the time of the incident, Belmode, who was in Area D, raised his eyebrows and smiled. The office workers in Area C were confused and panicked. Baishui, who was in the central area...

Kudo Shinichi carefully observed Shirasui's expression and found that his expression was still cold.

Everyone present subconsciously sat down in groups, sitting together with their teammates to stay warm, but 'Hoshino Gardenia' and 'Mrs. Fujiwara' were separated.

Bai Shui sat in the corner of the sofa, with no one else in his eyes, quietly watching Kudo Shinichi and watching the detective solve the case.

Kudo Shinichi looked at him.

Two seconds later, Bai Shui lowered his gaze and avoided looking at each other.

"...But," Kudo Shin paused and continued, "When the broadcast sounded, I rushed to the broadcast room as soon as possible. The elevator was empty."

There was no one in the stair elevator, but the box elevator was empty.

"On the road, I observed that there was no one climbing."

He added, "The murderer was wearing a raincoat when he committed the crime. The raincoat was found on the sink in the bathroom on the second floor and has been cleaned."

The bathroom is divided into men's and women's rooms, and the sink is in the middle, which has no value in determining the gender of the murderer.

"On the wall facing the sink, there was a trace of blood, and the murderer leaned against the wall."

"There are no signs of climbing on the bathroom or other exterior walls."

At this point, the case has reached a deadlock.

When the radio sounded, everyone had alibi and could not commit the crime.

So, what skills and mechanisms did the murderer use to complete this ingenious murder?

After explaining the current progress, Kudo Shinichi looked at Kudo Yukiko and motioned to transfer the right to open the microphone. He couldn't help but glanced at his father.

Kudo Yusaku smiled and nodded at him from a distance, then stretched out his hand to adjust his tie.

Kudo Shinichi looked away. After a few seconds, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Kudo Yusaku again.

When he was in the broadcast room, as soon as he rushed in, Kudo Shinichi started to check the body, but was stopped by Kudo Yusaku.

While adjusting his tie, Kudo Yusaku stopped Kudo Shinichi from moving the corpse. He stood in front of the console and said something strange about the corpse and that the posture should not be damaged, otherwise the traces would be destroyed.

It is precisely because of this sentence that when reaching a deadlock, Kudo Shinichi's focus was on 'the murderer's techniques and mechanisms for committing crimes remotely'.

But wait.

Kudo Shinji recalled for a few seconds: Kudo Yusaku stood in front of the console, adjusting his tie.

He blinked and recalled emphatically: Kudo Yusaku blocked part of the console, and there was blood on a corner of the console.

There were little splatters of blood, which had dried up.

...Already killed?!

In less than two minutes, the blood stains were already gone?!

Kudo Shinichi blurted out, "The abnormal sound on the radio is not the time of death of the deceased!"

The time of death of the deceased must be pushed forward a little further!

He glanced at Kudo Yusaku in disbelief and received a smile.

"Dad!" Kudo Shinichi turned around and rushed to the second floor, leaving only half of the sentence on the first floor, "There is also Officer Megure, please come with me!"

Officer Megure subconsciously rushed forward a few steps, then rubbed the back of his head and looked back. He looked at 'Kudo Yusaku' and then at Kudo Yusaku, "Uh, Shin, Shinichi called you..."

So who is it being called? With or without quotes?

Kudo Yusaku looked at him in disbelief when he signed the contract. He raised his eyebrows helplessly, "Mr. Kudo, Mr. Kudo seems to have discovered some new clues. Why don't we go up together?"

He added: "Please wait here for a moment."

The two of them went upstairs.

The remaining group of lucky people looked at each other in confusion. They had not yet realized what had happened and what the problem was. They looked at each other in confusion at the few keywords Kudo Shinichi said.

If it is not the time of death of the deceased when the broadcast sounds, then when is the time of death of the deceased?

Pushing forward further, it is when the activity begins.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

He reacted for a moment, then reacted again, "You...I...we..."

Bai Shui added to this missing key point, "It's 'us'."

The murderer is Hoshino Gardenia.
