Jiang Xia raised his head and saw the gaze quietly cast by the Otaki Police Department.
He took a look at the murderous aura of the big balls of ice cream in the ghosts' arms, and the murderous aura of teething sticks on the ground next to them, and was quite satisfied with today's harvest.
Seeing that as he appeared, the murderous aura in Vodka suddenly shut down. Realizing that he could not squeeze out more, Jiang Xia had no choice but to speak regretfully:
"The diameter of the building is 20 meters. The edge of the building is about 10 meters away from the pine tree with the gun tied there, and the fishing line connected to the sniper rifle..."
The young police officer next to him caught his gaze and quickly reported his measurement result: "A little over 10 meters."
Jiang Xia nodded and added: "The fishing line hanging down the cliff is just a cover-up used by the murderer to confuse the direction of the investigation. But unfortunately, there are some loopholes in his plan - the gun and the mud on the fishing line were his last resort.
exposed flaws."
The Otaki Police Department has stayed with Hattori Heiji all year round and understood the meaning of the high school detective's words: "In other words, the murderer did not stand at the bottom of the cliff and pull the fishing line to pull the trigger, but fired it in another way.
bullet?"
"That's right." Jiang Xia said, "The murderer knew the deceased's work and rest time very well, and also knew the detailed location where he watched TV. So a week ago, he stole the deceased's gun, and after coming here today, he fixed the gun
On the pine tree, let it aim at the corresponding angle.
"Then he tied a lead weight on one end of the fishing line and let the fishing line pass through the trigger of the gun, so that all the work on the tree was ready."
"When the dinner started, the murderer made excuses and left the table. He took out a stack of newspapers that had been prepared in advance, as well as a specific length of fishing line, and the T-shaped iron hook.
"The murderer first rolled the newspapers into a tube shape and connected them end to end to form a long enough paper rod. Then he pasted a strip of double-sided tape on the top of the paper rod."
"Ah!" A young police officer suddenly remembered something. He took out an evidence bag, "We did find several thin white plastic strips in the yard... It turned out that these were the remains of double-sided tape. What did I say?
Looks familiar."
Jiang Xia nodded and continued: "After doing this, the murderer tied the other end of the fishing line into a rope loop and stuck the T-shaped iron hook at the bottom of the rope loop. Then he used a newspaper with double-sided tape to grow
The pole stuck to the iron hook, raised it high, and hung the rope loop next to the iron hook on the long decorative pole on the second floor of the building."
"Long decorative pole..." A group of people looked up blankly and searched in the sky. Soon, their eyes settled.
——On the slowly rotating building on the second floor, there is indeed an "L" shaped iron rod protruding from it. It is rotating with the building at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Jiang Xia said: "In this way, the automatic shooting killing mechanism is completed - as the 'L' shaped iron rod rotates, the fishing line gradually tightens, and the conical lead pendant at the other end is passed over.
Pull it higher and higher until the trigger is jammed."
"In other words, what actually pulled the trigger was not the 'T'-shaped iron hook we imagined before, but the lead pendant at the other end?" Otaki Police Department suddenly realized, "Who is so cunning!"
Jiang Xia: "After the shooting, the iron pole on the second floor continued to rotate. The fishing line loop hanging on it was pulled by the other end, gradually slipped and fell to the ground. In order to ensure that it could slip off, the murderer also used the long fishing line in advance.
A long newspaper rod with oil applied to the 'L' shaped iron rod for lubrication."
"The whole process doesn't take much time, and the one who did it should be the deceased's apprentice, Mr. Yusen."
"?!"
Everyone turned around and looked at the silent and introverted young apprentice.
The young apprentice looked ugly and instinctively clenched his fists.
Jiang Xia looked at him: "At 7:25, you said you were going to get carbon and left the dinner party. After you came to the backyard alone, you took advantage of this time to roll up the newspaper, hang it on the iron hook, and then remove the paper tube.
Wrap the coal with them and return to the crowd.
"You have calculated the angle and time of the building's rotation in advance. In other words, although we heard the gunfire at 7:35, the murderer actually activated the mechanism 10 minutes ago - during that time, you were the only one absent.
"
The Otaki Police Department listened with confusion. When he heard this, he immediately grasped the key point: "Where are those newspapers? Find them quickly, they are important physical evidence!"
The little police officers nodded and rushed to the barbecue venue - fortunately, it was a bit strange to throw a thick stack of newspapers into the oven in front of everyone. The newspapers had not had time to be burned, but were just stuffed in.
An inconspicuous corner.
Seeing that the plan was exposed, the young apprentice took a deep breath and finally spoke.
He gritted his teeth and said aggrievedly and angrily: "You don't know the true face of Kanazawa Ryuichiro at all - that bastard has a good reputation outside and always maintains the appearance of a successful person, but in fact, he
Just a sanctimonious and shameless thief!"
The eldest apprentice was a little confused when he heard his master being scolded: "How can you say that? The teacher has a bad temper, but when has he ever stolen anything?"
"Of course you haven't been stolen!" The young apprentice snorted coldly, "You have never had any outstanding original works, and he couldn't steal them even if he wanted to. But he took my work away!——
This time, the work he used to participate in the Shanghai Modern Art Museum International Design Competition was designed by me!"
He said bitterly: “It wasn’t until the award was announced that I discovered that the building I designed had won the award, but my name was not mentioned at all.
"I went to the teacher to ask, but he said he didn't understand what I was talking about and asked me to show evidence that I designed it.
"But what evidence can I have? Even if I find evidence, who will believe it? I can only say that I respect him very much and admire his talent, and I hope to awaken his conscience... but it's useless.
"The guy heard that I had no evidence and just became more arrogant.
"He proudly gave me a piece of 'advice', saying that I didn't understand the situation at all - he said that the reason why the design attracted world attention was because it was published in his name, Kanazawa Ryuichiro. If it were published
If I were me, this work would be worthless.
"Not only did he steal my treasure, but he also belittled my long-term hard work... I swore a poisonous oath from then on! I will never allow him to attend that award ceremony!"
The Otaki Police Department was a little embarrassed, but it was rare for a prisoner to be so cooperative. He immediately asked: "So, the stalker Mr. Kanazawa said before his death that he sent him secretly taken photos every day is also you?"
