"You mean he is performing a one-man show?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"The purpose of what he did." Chi Feichi reminded.
How can a well-behaved person pretend to argue with others?
"The purpose is to create my alibi," Nakamoto Hiroshi said truthfully, "so that I can sneak into the house of our mentor, Professor Demura, and kill the professor...
"
this person……
Chi Feichi looked into Hiroshi Nakamoto's eyes, turned around, walked to the sofa next to Mouri Kogoro, sat down, picked up the teacup, and continued to observe.
Mouri Kogoro didn't pay attention to Chi Feichi's actions at all, and was startled by what Hiroshi Nakamoto said, "What did you say?!"
"Professor Demura secretly sold our research results to corporate research institutions for many years!" Hiroshi Nakamoto clenched his fists and his expression became sad and angry. "After exposing his behavior, because of the professor's connections and too much power,
At this point, we actually fell into the fate of being expelled from the school! So... So, we wanted to take advantage of the professor's family being away to create the illusion of a robber and murder, sneak into the professor's house and kill him..."
Mouri Kogoro stared at Hiroshi Nakamoto and frowned.
Hiroshi Nakamoto looked helpless and looked at Kogoro Mori's explanation, "But in fact, it didn't go as smoothly as we planned. After I sneaked into Professor Demura's house, I found that the professor was not at home at all. I waited for an hour and he still hasn't come back.
In the end, I gave up this plan. I arrived at the professor’s house at 10 o’clock in the evening, and when I left, it happened to be 11 o’clock in the evening..."
Mouri Kogoro took a half-moon look at Hiroshi Moto. These two guys really planned to murder him, "If what you said is all true, it is indeed impossible for you to kill Takayuki Irie."
"However, I didn't expect the professor to say that he stayed in the study room packing things last night and didn't step out of his house all night." Hiroshi Nakamoto lowered his head, stretched out his hands, and hugged his head in pain, "I don't
I understand why the professor lied to the police..."
"It's indeed a bit strange." Mouri Kogoro said.
Hiroshi Nakamoto raised his head, put his right hand on his forehead, and said in a depressed voice, "After all this trouble, the police will regard me as the murderer..."
"But then again," Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion, "How could the police release such an important person like you so easily?"
"I was in the police station and heard them say that the famous detective Mr. Mori happened to pass by the murder scene last night." Hiroshi Nakamoto raised his head and looked at Kogoro Mori sincerely. "I feel that God has not given up on me yet.
That’s why I came to you, asking you to save me!”
Chi Feichi was speechless, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.
God has not given up on you, but you have given up on yourself, young man...
Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin and hesitated, "This case does have something to do with me, but..."
Hiroshi Nakamoto sighed softly and lowered his head, "It seems that Mr. Mori doesn't believe what I just said either..."
As he said that, he closed his eyes again and seemed distressed, "If we can find that tape, then things will be easier to handle."
"Did Mr. Nakamoto join any performance clubs in school?" Chi Feichi suddenly asked.
Performance?
Conan pondered for a moment, then secretly looked at Hiroshi Nakamoto and his eyes became serious.
Hiroshi Nakamoto was panicked and his face was blank, "No, why do you ask?"
"I am a graduate of Dongdu University. When I went to Mihua University to participate in social activities, I seemed to have seen someone who looked like you on stage." Chi Feichi made an excuse casually, one point true, nine points
Fake.
"That's right, you may have read it wrong," Hiroshi Nakamoto breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "But have you graduated yet? Although I am studying for graduate school, otherwise I would have graduated about two years ago.
, but you look a lot smaller than me."
"This kid graduated early," Mouri Kogoro glanced at Chi Feichi half a month ago. "He is the kind of person who has a smart mind, a good family background, and a face that is popular with girls. He is the kind of person who makes people jealous and want to kill him.
…”
Chi Feichi looked back calmly.
Mouri Kogoro was stared at coldly and silent.
He actually said what he was saying, well, his fault... what a mistake!
Is it not too much for a teacher to complain about his disciples?
Could you please stop staring at him like that...
"Is that so..." Hiroshi Nakamoto looked a little embarrassed. What is the relationship between these two people? Why do they think their relationship is so strange?
"Teachers are also winners in life," Chi Feichi looked away and said calmly, "If you want to be jealous, I am jealous."
"Ha, that's right..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and looked at Hiroshi Nakamoto, "By the way, let's continue talking about business. Is there really the tape you mentioned?"
Conan laughed in his heart. Looking at the uncle's stiff reaction to changing the subject, he only saw a capital word 'coward'...
Hiroshi Nakamoto frowned, clenched his fists, and looked up at Mouri Kogoro, "The strange thing is that after the police searched Irie's room, they couldn't find the tape anywhere! In my opinion, the murderer must have taken it.
gone!"
Soon, he reached out and touched his chin, covering his mouth with his fingers, and became distressed again, "If I don't find the tape for a day, I won't be able to clear my grievances for a day. What should I do? If the murderer had thrown it away long ago...
…”
Mao Lilan couldn't bear to see someone being wronged, so she turned around and persuaded, "Dad, I think I'll go look for that tape..."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro turned to look at Maori Lan.
Conan also actively advised, "If you can successfully solve the case, you can restore your reputation, uncle!"
"Save your reputation..." Mouri Kogoro clenched his right fist and said with high spirits, "Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
A group of people set off immediately.
Four adults and one child could fit in Chi Feichi's car, and they drove all the way to the apartment they passed last night.
"The only entrance and exit to this apartment is here, so the only escape route for the prisoner is the road leading directly to the station..." Mouri Kogoro analyzed and took the lead in the direction of the station.
Conan stretched out his hand, but this time he didn't pull down his clothes, but his pants.
Chi Feichi squatted down, stretched his hand from Conan's head to the side, looked at the height of his palm from the ground, "Conan, have you become shorter?"
Conan stared at Chi Feichi for half a month. While he was still growing, he wanted to become taller, "Don't be ridiculous..."
Chi Feichi was silent. Conan was obviously 20 centimeters shorter than when he was in the detective agency. Why was he the only one to notice?
Like strange times, the world seemed to be trying to exclude him again.
But the better thing is that probably only Conan's height will be a problem...
Seeing Chi Fei's silence, Conan became serious and asked in a low voice, "Let's get down to business, is there something wrong with Mr. Nakamoto? I asked him if he had ever participated in a performance club. Do you suspect that he is lying?"
Chi Feichi stood up and said, "A liar with poor acting skills."
Not doubt, but certainty.
Some people think that liars have a guilty conscience and dare not look directly at others, but on the contrary, because humans think that looking directly at the other person is a sign of sincerity, most liars will look directly at the other person to show "sincerity" and try to confirm it through their own observations.
Whether the other party has been deceived by your lies, consider how to respond next.
Of course, judging by looking directly is not accurate. The factors that determine whether to look directly when speaking include one's own personality.
When Hiroshi Nakamoto spoke before, the direction of his eyes and limbs were inconsistent. His limbs were showing tension, anxiety, helplessness, and pain. Most of the time, his eyes were fixed on Mouri Kogoro, expressing his emotions as much as possible, hoping to gain Mouri Kogoro's approval.
trust.
In addition, human pupils are an expression of emotional responses.
In the same environment, when a person is nervous, his pupils will contract, and when he relaxes, his pupils will expand.
The liar has both the fear of being discovered and the relief of not being discovered after telling the truth, and his pupils are constantly changing.
This was the case with Hiroshi Nakamoto just now, and many times, the changes in his pupils do not match the emotions he wants to express.
When a person expresses sadness or distress, his pupils express tension and awkwardness.
Many spies will correct their behavior when lying. For example, people like Rei Mizuno and Toru Amuro. In addition to correcting body language and facial expressions, they also have training in sight lines, pupil reactions, etc. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to tell whether they are
To lie, even Chi Feichi had been specially trained by someone in his previous life. In comparison, this person was really... a loser.
If Conan had lied, he might have performed better than this guy...
The only remarkable thing about Hiroshi Nakamoto's performance just now is probably his body language expression. When speaking, he used some movements to strengthen his emotional expression. However, Hiroshi Nakamoto's body language expression also has some problems.
It was blunt and exaggerated, like a script prepared in advance. He had changed the topic before. Normal people need some buffering time to re-enter the emotion, but Nakamoto Hiroshi's body language after that expressed emotions too much and was very unnatural.
There are too many movements and too rapid changes in emotions. Stage performances require a lot of body language coordination. However, in reality, people often do not express so much body language. Even people who like to talk and gesture at the same time, under the same emotion, body language
Can be classified into the same category and duplicated.
And people like Belmode who have studied acting can clearly distinguish the differences between reality, stage plays, and different types of film and television dramas.
Among them, the stage play performance has the largest range of body language movements because the audience is located in the auditorium, so that the audience in the back row can see clearly. It is also the biggest gap from reality.
He asked Hiroshi Nakamoto if he was a member of the performing club. He really wasn't mocking him, but he was asking seriously.
Hiroshi Nakamoto himself has a bit of an "acting show" feel. He acts like a school stage play. His movements are large, but very natural and calm. It can even be said that he has developed body language habits when performing externally. He must have participated in it many times.
Activities like that...
Conan followed a group of people, thinking as he walked. He never thought that Chi Feichi discovered it from these aspects, and his first reaction was——
Language flaw!
There is a loophole in what Mr. Nakamoto said? Where is it?
"What are you doing? Don't move!" Mouri Kogoro shouted, quickly put on his gloves and rushed towards the man cleaning the trash can on the roadside.
Conan came back to his senses and looked at the apartment building behind him.
The prisoner had enough time to escape. Even if something unexpected happened, if he really wanted to frame Hiroshi Nakamoto, he would not have left the tape that could prove his innocence so close...
Over there, Kogoro Mouri grabbed the garbage bag, dug through it with his gloves, and actually found the tape.
"That's the tape!" Hiroshi Nakamoto looked delighted and worked hard to perform.
He didn't realize at all that there was a kid next to him who looked at him obviously something was wrong, and there was also a man with a calm face, quietly enjoying his performance with the corner of his eyes...
