Chapter 23: Traveling together (xing)

After the last trump card was exposed by the detective boy, Amano Tsumi finally admitted her crime.

She confessed that the motive for the murder lay in the photo of Kazuhiro Otaka who won the award three years ago.

That photo was taken of a mother lifting her child in front of the firefighters who came to the rescue during a fire.

Amano Tsuimi's brother died in that fire.

It was precisely because that photo vividly showed the tragedy and horror of the fire that she became interested in the photographer Ohtaka Kazuhiro, and eventually dated him.

But one day, she found a large pile of photos taken on the day of the fire in Da Ying's room.

There are dozens of photos of everything from calm at the beginning to smoke and finally a raging fire.

In other words, the fire was set by Daying and Yang, just to take perfect photos.

Before Amano Tsumi was taken away by the police officers, she wiped away her tears and looked at Kudo Shinichi: "I am very unwilling...I was very confident about the place where the murder weapon was hidden."

Kudo Shinichi could only respond with a calm smile.

If Yuan Huaiyu hadn't reminded him of being a "real adult", he wouldn't have been able to figure out what the murder weapon was so quickly.

In order to confirm that most of the current bras have steel rings, he also checked with Xiaolan, which made Xiaolan look at him strangely until now.

But when I think of Yuanhuaiyu, the confidence and joy I felt from cracking the murderer's trick disappeared in an instant.

He couldn't figure out how Mr. Yuan could deduce the entire context of the case without listening to the suspect's testimony.

He even saw at a glance how the murderer hid the murder weapon.

This has gone beyond Kudo Shinichi's understanding of the word "detective" and is a bit closer to the direction of superpowers.

The case came to an end here. He pulled Xiaolan back to his seat and looked at Yuan Huaiyu who was sleeping soundly on the left side, puzzled.

But they were still sleeping, and it was hard for Kudo Shinichi to wake up Yuanhuaiyu.

In this way, during the entire second half of the flight to Los Angeles, Yuan Huaiyu kept sleeping, and Kudo Shinichi was itching next to him, hoping that Yuan Huaiyu would wake up soon and answer his questions.

Even Xiaolan on the other side doesn't smell good anymore.

"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the final destination of this journey, Los Angeles, USA. The plane is about to land. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."

After a long period of suffering, Kudo Shinichi felt that this broadcast was the most beautiful sound in the world.

Yuanhuaiyu woke up to the sound of the radio and stretched out.

"Well, Mr. Yuan..." Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but said when he saw Yuan Huaiyu finally woke up.

"Huh?" Yuan Huaiyu heard someone calling him and looked over half asleep.

After seeing that it was Kudo Shinichi, he showed a sudden smile: "It's you. How about it? The case should have been solved, right?"

"It's solved, it's exactly the same as what you said, Mr. Yuan. Thanks to your tip, I was able to find the murderer." Kudo Shinichi said.

"That's good, it's you as expected." Yuan Huaiyu narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face, "Looking at you, it seems like you have some questions you want to ask me?"

"Yes! I want to know how Mr. Yuan could determine the murderer's modus operandi without listening to their testimony?"

Kudo Shinichi felt that this must be because there were some details that he did not observe, but Mr. Yuan did.

"Oh, you ask this?" Yuan Huaiyu replied casually, "That's because I didn't sleep at all in the first half of the night, and I saw the time and order of those people going to the bathroom from beginning to end."

"First it was the man who was killed, then his girlfriend, then the company employee."

"The next one was the foreigner. He stayed in the bathroom for a long time. Another lady went back and forth to the bathroom in the middle."

"After hearing them say that the film on the body was missing, I knew why foreigners took so long to go to the bathroom."

Kudo Shinichi's voice was trembling: "Miss Tianno's trick..."

"I saw that it took a long time for her to go to the bathroom, which was a bit abnormal. So I paid extra attention and saw the scene where she changed seats while the flight attendant was getting medicine.

Extrapolating from this point, if she is most likely the murderer, we can also deduce her method of confusing the public."

"ha?"

This answer was completely beyond Kudo Shinichi's expectation.

So you saw everything? Then why didn’t you tell me earlier! I thought you had deduced it!

Kudo Shinichi roared in his heart.

"Because if I say that I saw it, it will be very troublesome later, right? I went to the United States to relax, and I don't want to be involved in any murder cases. It would be very troublesome to make notes and so on."

Yuan Huaiyu spread his hands: "Also, I see that you are eager to try, so I don't want to ruin your interest in investigating the case."

"No, without me, the case would have been solved satisfactorily. This is a good thing for both of us."

Yuan Huaiyu thought to himself, there is no way I could tell you that I had known for a long time that there would be a murder, so I stayed awake on purpose, right?

Kudo Shinichi felt his blood surge.

He resisted and continued to ask: "What about the murder weapon? How did you know that the murder weapon was hidden... there?"

Because the only impression I have of this case is this unique murder weapon.

Of course Yuan Huaiyu couldn't say that. He explained: "If the murderer was that woman, why didn't she wipe off the fingerprints on the murder weapon and throw it away after committing the crime? If she did, no one would know that she did it.

unless……"

Kudo Shinichi quickly reacted: "Unless others see this murder weapon, they will know who the murderer is!"

"That's it." Yuan Huaiyu looked at the somewhat messy Kudo Shinichi and felt happy, "Do you have any other questions?"

Shinichi shook his head dully.

He didn't expect that he would lose here.

But then I thought about it, Yuan Huaiyu relied on him not sleeping to get the truth, and he, Kudo Shinichi, found out who the murderer was through reasoning!

Shinichi's mood immediately improved.

The plane landed in Los Angeles soon. After exiting the passage, Xinyi and Xiaolan had to say goodbye to Yuanhuaiyu.

At this time, Xinyi's cell phone rang.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Shinichi answered the phone, "What? Go to New York now? Go buy a plane ticket right away? What the hell!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the girl next to him: "Xiaolan, we may have to catch a plane again. My mother said that she temporarily obtained a particularly rare ticket to the musical."

"New York?" they heard Yuan Huaiyu say in surprise, "I happen to be going to New York too! What a coincidence!"

Looking at Shinichi and Lan with surprised faces, he smiled and said, "It seems that we can go together again."
