Chapter 438 White Horse Detective: Do You Want Your Face?
Evening, 10:33.
Bai Ma went to knock on the door of the male resident upstairs and confirmed a small detail.
After that, in addition to the landlady, the male residents upstairs also came to Machishima Suzu's house.
Odagiri Toshi had also gone to bed. After hearing the call from Megure Thirteen that the murderer was not him, he had no intention of running over again.
As for Reiko Shimizu...
"She doesn't need to be notified," Chi Feichi whispered to Baima Tan, "she's not the murderer anyway."
"Huh?" Bai Ma Tan was a little surprised and whispered, "But at that time..."
"It has nothing to do with the case itself. Just let the police confirm it afterwards." Chi Feichi said in a low voice.
"I mean Brother Chi..." Conan leaned close to the two of them, raised his head and looked at Chi Feichi seriously for a long time, suddenly grinned and gloated, "You also have a day when you hide from others?"
Chi Feichi remained silent, he would rather take the blame.
Being noticed by Shimizu Reiko is really not a good thing.
Especially with his current situation, as long as Shimizu Reiko is interested in their people and does something around him, maybe the organization will notice her.
And Reiko Shimizu’s character is perfect for the organization.
As long as Shimizu Reiko is noticed, there is a high chance that she can sneak into the organization. It is not a good thing for a vicious woman in the organization. If she gets the appreciation of that person again, it will be difficult for him to eliminate her.
This kind of unstable and dangerous woman is like a time bomb, and Belmod is enough.
He wants to eliminate all unstable factors and resolutely block the possibility of Reiko Shimizu getting involved in the plot in advance!
"Then I understand," Bai Ma Tan smiled and did not ask further questions. He went to communicate with Memu Thirteen, "Officer Memu, there is no need to inform Miss Qingshui. This case has nothing to do with her. We will see her tomorrow.
Just let the Metropolitan Police confirm it."
Mumu Shisan looked at the time and said, "Well, it's already so late. Since she's not the murderer, there's no need to find her..."
"Officer Megure!" Takagi Wataru ran up the stairs panting, wearing gloves on both hands and leaning on his knees with one hand. When he bent over to catch his breath, he raised the large evidence bag in his right hand, "Found it.
!Plastic sheet stained with blood, ropes with tape, and leaking hydrogen balloons..."
"Oh?" Mumu Shisan turned to look at the evidence bag curiously.
"Then, let me first explain the mystery about the disappearance of the plastic sheet," Baima walked to the entrance and looked up at the ceiling of the living room, "First of all..."
Or a trap with a rope and a murder weapon.
First, cover the guitar with a plastic sheet, tie one end of the headstock with a rope, tie a slip knot, fix it on the ceiling with tape, and then pull it out the window. The tail part of the guitar is also tied with a rope, pull it out the window, and tie the end of the rope.
Tie hydrogen balloons on both ends, and then pull up the rope at the end of the piano, fix it on the ceiling, and use tape to fix it with the other rope...
When demonstrating the technique, of course not at the place where the technique was originally performed, Hakuba chose the ceiling on the other side of the house for demonstration.
I also asked a policeman to buy the guitar I used.
"After that, just pull this rope gently..."
Bai Ma asked, pulling the rope in his hand, and the tape on the back of the guitar was pulled off with a gentle tug.
The headstock of the entire guitar was still hung by the rope, but because the tail was no longer fixed by the tape, it swung through an arc from the ceiling, smashed over, and hit the wall.
Above the head of the guitar, there is no tape to fix the tail, and the tape that sticks the rope to the ceiling cannot support the weight of the entire guitar. After the guitar hits the wall, it immediately falls to the ground.
The slipknot previously attached to the headstock was pulled, and the flimsy plastic sheet fell off before the guitar hit the ground.
The hydrogen balloon outside the window was blown away by the wind, and the rope, plastic sheet, and tape stuck to the rope were dragged out of the window and flew away...
"As long as you calculate the wind direction and speed in this area between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon, and ask Officer Takagi to search along the road, you can find hydrogen balloons, plastic sheets, ropes and tapes," Hakuba looked at Takagi Wataru
With the evidence bag in his hand, he looked up at the ceiling again, "There are still traces of tape on the wooden ceiling near the entrance..."
The traces left by this technique are indeed obvious.
Mumu Shisan looked up and saw some traces.
"So, who would do this?" Takagi Wataru wondered, "Using this method is usually to create an alibi, right?"
"As expected, brother Toshiya is the most suspicious," Mitsuhiko touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "As long as you prepare this method, when you arrive in Shibuya, call Miss Machishima and ask her to go to the door... Uh, no, he
If you're not in this room, you can't pull the rope that activates this technique, and you can't kill people at all..."
"Could they be using animals like cats?" Yuantai guessed, "Tie a rope around the cat in advance, and when the cat runs out of the window, pull the rope..."
"Who would use that kind of unstable killing method?" Conan was speechless, "If the cat ran out of the window and the guitar fell down before Miss Machishima came out of the bathroom, not only would Miss Machishima be fine, but she would also notice
If someone wants to harm you, call the police and let the police investigate, right?"
"Yes..." Yuan Tai was confused.
"Are there any fingerprints on the plastic sheet or tape?" Megure Thirteen turned to ask Takagi Wataru.
Takagi Wataru nodded immediately, "There is nothing on the tape, but in addition to Miss Machishima's fingerprints, there are several fingerprints on the plastic sheet, which are consistent with the fingerprints provided by Mr. Yamaishi, the resident upstairs, at the Metropolitan Police Department..."
Mu Mu Shisan immediately turned to look at the male resident upstairs.
Chi Feichi watched the excitement from the side, his thoughts wandering.
He was already certain that there was no such case originally.
Judging from the cause, it was because he met Toshiya Odagiri and dragged him to open a company that Machishima Suzu felt that Odagiri Toshiya was also a traitor and harbored resentment.
Later, he miraculously asked the Young Detective Team to investigate the threatening letter at this juncture. By involving Conan, Conan and the Young Detective Team obtained clues that the police did not have.
However, he is really not God's trust...
The rules of operation of this world are quite interesting, but they are a bit hurtful to my friends.
Accidentally attracting the Shinigami primary school student, triggering a certain point, may cause farce at worst, or result in death at worst.
In addition, what is equally interesting is that this time the names of the deceased and the suspects have been put together again.
The deceased were Machijima, Shimizu, and Odagiri. In addition, the male resident's surname was Yamashi, and the landlady's surname was Oya.
Machishima, Shimizu, Yamaishi, Odagiri, Oya...
When grouped together, you can create a picture of a rural family. Although most Japanese surnames are from a certain place, there are no surnames like "Kujo", "Komukai", "Gaochang", and "Saruwatari", which is quite amazing.
.
In addition, it would not be out of place to add "pond" to the picture of a rural family. Once again, he can form a "gang" with the deceased and the suspect. Chi is really a versatile surname.
(#-.-)
While Chi Feichi's thoughts were wandering, a group of people were still focusing on discussing the case.
Ayumi doubted, "In that case, the uncle is indeed suspicious. The hydrogen balloon is floating outside the window. Are you worried that the uncle living on the floor above will see it? Don't worry, it is only the murderer himself."
"No, it's not me!" the male resident quickly explained, "Because sometimes the noise made by Ms. Machishima is too noisy, I can't open the windows recently, and even close the curtains. When you came over to my house, the curtains were also closed.
It’s zipped up, isn’t it?”
"The murderer is indeed not Mr. Yamaishi. If it were him, he could have done something in his room and then come down to kill Miss Machishima as his alibi," Hakuba explored, "but the murderer did know the recent news.
Mr. Yamaishi’s habit is that he prepared this technique only after knowing that Mr. Yamaishi has not opened the curtains recently, and to prepare this technique, he needs to stay at Miss Machishima’s house for a long time.”
"So..." Mumu Shisan looked towards the landlady's house.
As a landlord, isn’t it strange to know the recent habits of your residents?
"It's not me either!" The landlady sweated and said hurriedly, "Although she drove away my tenants, I have my own job and the economy is not very tight. There is no need to kill anyone!"
"Who would think that the money is too much..." Yuantai glanced at the landlady.
"Moreover, if the agreed time to collect the rent is not 4 o'clock, but earlier," Takagi Wataru touched his chin, "then Ms. Oya can come to this building at around 3 o'clock and meet Ms. Machishima.
When they met, the two had an argument at about 3:30 p.m., which was overheard by Mr. Yamaishi, the resident upstairs. After that, Ms. Machishima left Ms. Oshima in the living room and went to take a shower. After she came out of the shower, she was killed by this method.
Already..."
Megure Thirteen thought thoughtfully, "The only person who can make Miss Machishima leave the guests to take a bath is you, as a woman and a relative."
"Maybe he thought that as long as the police couldn't find the plastic sheet in his belongings, he wouldn't be suspected, so he prepared this method, right?" Mitsuhiko said seriously.
"Really, it's really not me!" The landlady was about to cry without tears.
"The murderer is not the lady of the big house," Conan said, "In fact, there is someone who can arrange this trick, and he must do it..."
"Oh?" Mumu Shisan recalled doubtfully.
For this method, the murderer had to be in Machishima Suzu's room at the time.
At the time of the crime, Toshi Odagiri was also in Shibuya and had an alibi.
Reiko Shimizu talked to the deceased on the phone from her home landline at 3pm, and she couldn't make it in an hour to arrange the trick. Even if she transferred the call, pretended to talk to the deceased using an extension, and rushed over to kill the person, the two parties' homes were so far apart, and the extension phone was too early.
Communication is no longer possible. After all, it is just an extension of a landline phone. The most you can do is make calls nearby.
If it wasn't these two people... who else? Did they ignore anyone?
Conan said solemnly, "That's Ms. Machishima herself!"
White Horse Detective: "..."
Didn’t this kid say that he doesn’t reason?
Is it shameful to grab the most crucial sentence?
Chi Feichi was watching the fun from the sidelines. He didn't believe that Conan could bear it, so he got involved in reasoning again...
"But, but..." Takagi Wataru was surprised.
"The reason why we prepared this technique is because Ms. Machishima cannot hit herself on the back of the head with the guitar. Even if she hangs the guitar, she will leave a rope on the scene so that people can see through the technique at a glance," Conan said. "On the contrary, if the guitar is hung,
If no blood-stained plastic sheet was found, the police would believe that she was attacked after coming out of the shower."
Takagi Wataru touched his chin and said, "Then, just ask the nearby place that sells hydrogen balloons and ask Ms. Machishima if she has been there today..."
"No," Hakuba Tan walked to the bookcase and looked at the iron rod on the bookcase, "The hydrogen balloon should have been bought by Miss Machijima a few days ago."
"Anyone who knows the situation in this room can also use the hydrogen balloon in the room to complete this trick," Conan continued, "This cannot be used as evidence to determine that Miss Machishima committed suicide."
To overturn the inference of 'suicide', it is enough to find traces of homicide. But if you want to overturn the inference of 'homicide', in order not to let the murderer go, decisive evidence is needed, and the police will close the case as 'suicide'.
"However, there is conclusive evidence that proves that Miss Machishima committed suicide rather than homicide..." Detective Hakuba took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and said to the other side, "Let's get started."
