He was able to determine who the murderer was without even hearing the suspect's testimony?!
No, it must be wrong.
If Mr. Yuan didn’t lie to me, I must have missed some details!
Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. He could deduce the truth so quickly than me!
The moment he heard Yuan Huaiyu's words, Kudo Shinichi seemed to feel a storm in his heart.
At the same time, a deep sense of frustration inevitably arose in my heart.
He has loved mystery novels since he was a child, and has accumulated extremely profound knowledge related to reasoning, covering astronomy, geography, local customs and customs.
Coupled with the fact that his father Yusaku Kudo taught him skills such as cars, marksmanship, shooting, flying planes, flying helicopters, driving speedboats, repairing computers, and defusing bombs in Hawaii, he has full confidence in himself as a detective.
Although he is not as good as his father, who is a mystery novelist, he is still an excellent detective.
Unexpectedly, on the first case he encountered after completing his studies, he met a detective who was much better than himself.
He deeply felt what is meant by "there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world".
Seeing Kudo Shinichi's expression, Yuan Huaiyu laughed happily. He leaned into the ear of the future "Savior of the Japanese Police" and whispered:
"It's just a simple deception to disrupt the vision. I think you can definitely see through it."
"It's just that, if I'm not wrong, you may encounter difficulties in finding the murder weapon..."
"After all, you are not a real adult yet."
Yuan Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and patted Kudo Shinichi on the shoulder with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Detective, come on! I'll leave the case here to you. I have to go catch up on some sleep, I'm too sleepy."
After saying that, Yuan Huaiyu walked back to his seat without looking back, took out a blanket and covered himself, actually closed his eyes, and soon began to snore slightly.
Kudo Shinichi was stunned on the spot.
He heard that Mr. Yuan gave him the key clues to solve the case before completely turning a blind eye to the case.
But why doesn't Mr. Yuan make the truth known to the public himself?
Does he have any intention?
With deep doubts, Kudo Shinichi heard Mao Lilan calling him in a low voice: "Hey! Shinichi, come here quickly, Officer Megure is going to question the suspect!"
Without enough time to think carefully about why Yuanhuaiyu did this, Kudo Shin agreed immediately and walked back to the bathroom.
The first suspect was Miss Amano Tsumi, the girlfriend of the deceased Ohtaka Kazuhiro. Like the deceased, she was also a photographer. She went to the bathroom because she was airsick and wanted to vomit. She said that when she returned to her seat,
My boyfriend is still in his seat.
After she returned to her seat, she asked a flight attendant to help her get some airsickness medicine.
The flight attendant also confirmed this, confirming that the deceased was still sitting to the left of Miss Amano and sleeping soundly at that time.
In addition, the second suspect, Mr. Tsuneo Uzawa, who is a company employee, can also confirm what Ms. Amano said.
Tsuneo Uzawa said that he always felt anxious while sitting in his seat, so he wandered around the aisle of the plane and saw the stewardess bringing medicine to Ms. Amano, and also saw Kazuhiro Otaka, who was sleeping soundly next to her.
He went to the bathroom shortly after seeing this scene and spent about five minutes going to the bathroom.
At this time, the stewardess added that it had only been more than a minute before she went to help Ms. Amano get the medicine. When she came back with the medicine and boiled water, the deceased was no longer in her seat.
The third suspect is the photographer Chizuru Tachikawa who went to the United States for vacation with the deceased, Tsumi Amano, and Noboru Saunuma, a stern-faced man with a stubble.
She said that she went to check on Ohtaka and Yang 20 minutes after the stewardess brought him the medicine because he saw that Ohtaka had not returned.
But there was no one in the other three restrooms at that time. When she knocked on the door and asked Ohtaka Kazuhiro in the only restroom with people there, "Are you okay?", there was a knock on the door in the restroom.
So she judged with certainty that the big eagle was still alive at that time.
The fourth suspect was a foreigner, Edward Crowe, a freelance journalist. He seemed to be unable to understand Japanese. Kudo Shinichi chatted with him in English and then told Officer Megure that this man did not remember anything about himself.
Time to go to the bathroom.
After walking away from Edward, Shinichi finally couldn't help but cough. Just now, he was choked heavily by the cologne sprayed on the foreigner.
Suddenly, Tsuneo Uzawa, who was standing aside, shouted loudly: "Liar! You didn't leave your seat too!"
Such a big movement attracted everyone's attention.
Officer Megure looked over with questioning eyes and stared at Tsuneo Uzawa.
I saw Uzawa pointing at Noboru Saginuma, who was not among the four suspects, and confronting him: "Isn't your position directly behind the victim? At that time, I saw that the victim was still in the seat, and behind him, that is, you
!Your seat was vacant at the time!”
Hearing this, Saginuma pointed angrily at Kudo Shinichi and retorted to Uzawa: "Hey! Old man, don't talk nonsense! This guy clearly said that only four of you besides Otaka have been to the bathroom!"
He looked at Kudo Shinichi: "Really, brother?"
At this time, Kudo Shinichi hesitated. When Yuzawa said this, he could not be 100% sure that his memory was completely correct, because he seemed to be in a trance when staring at Xiaolan.
Maybe at this time he would omit one or two people from the list of people going to the bathroom.
Upon seeing this, Officer Memu didn't really expect that he, a junior, would be able to come to a conclusion right away, so he decided to search the five suspects first.
It's very simple. As long as someone has a sharp and long object like an ice pick on his body, then this person is most likely the murderer.
In this enclosed space at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it is not an easy task to hide an ice pick-shaped weapon that can kill people.
But after listening to what Yuan Huaiyu said just now, Kudo Shinichi felt that trying to quickly identify the murderer by finding the murder weapon might not go smoothly.
Thinking about it from another angle, wouldn’t it be possible for the murderer not to know that if a highly identifiable murder weapon was found, it would be difficult for him to be cleared of suspicion?
Therefore, the murderer should be quite confident about where the murder weapon is hidden and has no worries about being found.
Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets and watched the suspects enter the bathroom one by one. The men were searched by Officers Megure and Takagi, while the women were examined by the stewardess.
He looked back at the location of Yuanhuaiyu, and secretly thought about the reminder just now.
"You're not a real adult yet."
Is there anything that only “real adults” know?
What does it mean to be a “real adult”?
Kudo Shinichi racked his brains and couldn't think of an answer.
