Chapter 1925 Ryusuke Soma: I will definitely go to jail, right?
In the guest room, after listening to Ryusuke Soma's words, everyone said "uh" and there were black lines on their foreheads——
Well, it is indeed a good thing that Ryusuke Soma bows his head and pleads guilty, but this case was solved...
Why do I always feel weird inside?
Speaking of which, it seems that Ryusuke Soma was frightened into confessing by Fukuda Haruo, right? If we really talk about this case, wouldn’t it be solved by Fukuda Haruo?
Everyone was complaining in their hearts. Officer Mumu was the first to cough slightly, and then started to ask questions in a routine:
"...Mr. Soma, have you confessed? But why did you kill Mr. Taku Itakura?"
Ryusuke Soma was stunned when he heard this, and then he answered: "That's because... because Taku Itakura gave up our original dream and agreement!"
"The original dream and promise?"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, but Ryusuke Soma nodded slightly and continued: "Yes, that's why! In fact, Taku Itakura and I are pretty good friends. I first met him in
A chess award ceremony twenty years ago. At that time, I was just a small employee in a game company, and Itakura was just an unknown game designer. We both liked chess, so we had a great conversation.
Then we agreed at that time that we must work together to design a chess game that can defeat all chess masters..."
"...because of this common goal, I have been collecting chess records over the years and borrowed a large sum of money for this game. But when I found him and asked him when he would be able to design this game, he
But he asked me with an indifferent look, 'Soma, how long do you think a person should wait'... This guy, he has completely forgotten our common dream!"
Ryusuke Soma rambled on about his motive for the murder, while Officer Megure frowned and asked: "...So you killed him? But...how did you find this place?"
"Well..." Ryusuke Soma was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to answer, Conan had already whispered beside him: "I think he probably used the same method as Uncle Mouri!"
Conan said, his tone paused slightly, and then continued to explain: "Uncle Maori, do you still remember what the waitress at the front desk said when you called the Rice Flower Restaurant before? When you were about to hang up, the service
Ms. Sheng said, 'It's Mr. Itakura again, he's here again' - this means that before you, someone also used the same method to call the front desk of the Rice Krispies Hotel and asked about Itakura.
Sir’s room number!~”
After Conan finished speaking, Uncle Maori said "Huh", then he held his chin and thought about it for a moment: "...This, it seems to be true...could it be said that that person is Mr. Souma?"
"Of course, that person is me!"
As if he was afraid that someone would rob him, Souma Ryusuke nodded directly and responded: "...I just used the same method as you to find it. Itakura Taku was shocked when he saw me..."
"That's it!" Officer Megure figured out a doubt in his mind, and then continued to ask, "Then...how did you kill Mr. Itakura?"
"Well... I entered the room and chatted with Itakura for a while. After I found out that Itakura had completely forgotten our dream, I started murdering him." Ryusuke Soma continued, "... the day I found him happened to be
It was the twenty-year anniversary of our acquaintance, so I said I wanted to celebrate, so I went outside the hotel to buy red wine and sleeping pills. After knocking him out, I fixed him to a chair with a blanket and tape, and then left the guest room...
…”
Ryusuke Soma stopped here, and Uncle Mori lowered his head to look at Itakura Taku's body and said: "So, Mr. Itakura had a serious heart disease. After that, he died of a heart attack, and then
You found time to return to the guest room again, untied Mr. Itakura's body, and pretended to have died of a heart attack, right?"
"That's right!" Ryusuke Soma nodded, "But I really didn't expect that Lupine III would actually disguise himself as Taku Itakura..."
"...That's why you had that surprised expression when you saw Lupine III's disguised Taku Itakura in the lobby, right?" Conan took over the conversation, "After all, a dead person suddenly 'resurrected'
, whoever sees it will be frightened like that..."
"Yes!" Ryusuke Soma nodded slightly, and then said with a wry smile, "I wanted to frame Mr. Lupine just now, but there is no need now! As for the evidence, just like what President Fukuda said, it is my watch.
——My watch is now covered with Taku Itakura’s fingerprints…”
After Ryusuke Soma finished speaking, Officer Megure frowned and asked, "Are the fingerprints on your watch evidence?"
"Of course, that is irrefutable evidence!" Conan interjected from the side, "Mr. Soma said that he bought this watch five days ago, and Mr. Itakura likes watches very much, but his eyesight is not very good, so he is looking at it
After getting Mr. Itakura's watch, I will definitely hold it in my hand and appreciate it carefully...those fingerprints are the evidence that Mr. Soma once found this place!"
When Conan said this, he suddenly felt that the expressions of the people around him were not right. He suddenly realized that he had gone too far. He quickly laughed dryly, turned to look at Uncle Maoli and said cutely: "Isn't that right, Uncle Maori?"
"Uh...yes, that's it!" Uncle Maori nodded, then looked at the chess board and said, "But speaking of which, do the chess pieces on this chess board really indicate that Mr. Souma is the murderer? But
Isn't Mr. Itakura tied up? How did he arrange these chess pieces?"
"I think... it should be with his feet!" Kuroba Kaito replied, "...the left calf of the deceased has the marks left by wearing socks, but there are no marks on the right foot. Instead, there are marks on the ankle of the right foot.
There are some scratches, this is probably because the deceased managed to take off his socks, and then used his toes to move the chess pieces, leaving evidence..."
"Well, that's it!" Officer Megure looked down at the deceased's ankle again, and Ryusuke Soma asked expectantly: "Mr. Police, can you arrest me now? Also, in this situation,
I will definitely go to jail, right?"
After Ryusuke Soma finished speaking, Officer Megure and Takagi Wataru all said "uh", and then Takagi Wataru smiled and scratched his head and said: "...Since you have confessed, you will definitely be arrested! As for the verdict, although you
He did not directly kill Mr. Itakura, but he did have the subjective intention to kill intentionally and actually caused Mr. Itakura's death. Therefore, the crime of homicide was established. However, because he did not directly kill Mr. Itakura and had a good attitude of pleading guilty, the sentencing will be lighter.
, he will probably be sentenced to about fifteen years——"
"——Of course, this is just my estimate. The specific situation depends on the judge's decision!~"
