Next to her, Chizuru Tachikawa felt that the experience sounded familiar the more she heard about it.
She remembered the time when she knocked on the door to look for the deceased, but was turned away. She suddenly realized that the person who responded to her in the toilet was actually Edward, and couldn't help but roll up her sleeves: "...Who do you think is easy to fool?!"
Jiang Xia looked at the four suspects and randomly ranked them:
"That is to say, the sequence of actions at that time was that the deceased's girlfriend, Ms. Amano, was suffering from airsickness and asked the flight attendant for airsickness medicine.
“Before the flight attendant went to get the medicine, there was still a ‘sleeping deceased’ sitting next to Miss Amano, but a minute later when she came back with the medicine, Miss Amano was empty.
"About twenty minutes after that, Mr. Edward went to the bathroom to deal with the deceased, but the deceased was already dead in the toilet.
"At this time, Miss Tachikawa also went to the bathroom to look for the deceased. When she knocked on the door, Mr. Edward knocked on the door from the inside and responded. Then Miss Tachikawa felt that everything was normal and returned to her seat. Later, Mr. Edward also Sneaked back to his seat.
"While all this was going on, Mr. Saginuma was sleeping."
Saginumasheng nodded vigorously: "That's right!"
Edward frowned and looked at Jiang Xia: "The deceased was traveling with a group of four, and the other three people happened to occupy a row. Only Lunuma was sitting directly behind the deceased. I will never remember it wrong.
"Only on this matter, I didn't lie - I did find that the seat behind the deceased was empty before. Saginuma definitely didn't stay in the seat all the time. Speaking of which, the journey is so long, who can really sit for ten hours? "
Saginuma Sheng was not convinced: "I just can!"
Jiang Xia's eyes immediately fell on them.
It's a pity that this time, before the war started, the war was interrupted by the alert Inspector Asaph.
Jiang Xia sighed inwardly and looked at Edward:
"Mr. Saginuma has nothing to do with you. You are paying attention to him because you are paying attention to the deceased who is about to trade with you. In the process, you noticed Mr. Saginuma sitting directly behind the deceased. That's right. Bar."
Edward nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Jiang Xia: "The deceased wore a knitted hat on his head, and wore an eye mask and a blanket when sleeping. Only his chin was exposed. The lower half of the face of the deceased and Mr. Saginuma happened to be thin - in the cabin at that time The light inside was very dim, are you really sure that the 'person sleeping on the seat' you saw at that time was the deceased and not Mr. Saginuma?"
Edward seemed to be aware of the problem, and his tone became hesitant: "But the man I saw was wearing the same knitted hat of the deceased, and sitting next to him was the deceased's girlfriend. He was not the deceased himself, who else could he be? ?”
Jiang Xia: "It could be Mr. Saginuma who is sleeping soundly with a blindfold, a blanket and a knitted hat on his head."
"..."
A group of people gradually realized something was wrong, and they all looked at the deceased's girlfriend, the short-haired woman.
In my impression, there happened to be a knitted hat of the same style as that of the deceased in her luggage.
Before, everyone thought it was a couple's hat used to feed dog food.
But now it seems...
Jiang Xia rearranged the order:
"The seat on the side where the deceased was sitting can accommodate three people in a row. Among them, Ms. Tachikawa sat at the seat closest to the window, the deceased was close to the aisle, and the deceased's girlfriend, Ms. Amano, sat right between them.
"An hour or two ago, after her friend by the window was asleep, Ms. Amano made an excuse to ask her boyfriend to go to the bathroom. Then she followed him, put on a handkerchief stained with anesthetic, put the deceased down, and then forcefully removed the murder weapon. Plunge into the back of his head.
"After killing the deceased, she did not return to her original position, but crossed her seat and sat next to the sleeping Saginuma Noboru.
"She put a knitted hat on Saginuma, pulled up the sleeping blanket, and dressed him up to look like the deceased. Plus, with her girlfriend around, others would naturally mistake Mr. Saginuma for the dead person who was still alive. .
"Later, Ms. Amano pretended to be airsick, called the stewardess, and spoke to the stewardess through the sleeping deceased, asking her to become a witness who could prove that 'the deceased was alive and well at the time.'
"After the stewardess went to get the airsickness medicine, Ms. Amano quickly put away her knitted hat, got up, moved a row forward, returned to her seat, and then deliberately made some noise.
"The friend by the window was awakened by her movement and found that the deceased's seat was empty. At this time, the stewardess also came back with medicine, so in the impression of the two of them, the deceased did not leave until Miss Amano returned to her seat. And was killed, so Ms. Amano had an alibi.
"And Mr. Edward believed that Mr. Saginuma had left his seat, probably because when Miss Amano was still sitting in the back row, the seat behind her and the fake 'deceased' happened to be empty.
"There are a lot of empty seats on the plane today. As long as you pre-book your desired seat, you can have the required seat vacant.
"In addition, Mr. Saginuma often takes various motion sickness medicines, and often tries new medicines given by his friends. As long as you secretly give him a sleeping pill, he can sleep deeply without being disturbed."
"..."
Inspector Asa was stunned when he heard this - not to mention the speed of solving the case, this young man seemed to be able to read minds and filled in all the loopholes before others raised questions.
After finally waiting for an opening, Inspector Asa was about to ask what happened to the missing film and murder weapon.
But as soon as his lips moved, Jiang Xia glanced over, as if he had predicted his question, and continued:
"After the murder, the murderer used the mini scissors in his sewing kit to cut the deceased's precious blackmail film into pieces and flushed it into the toilet. He wanted people to mistakenly think that the film had been taken away by the murderer, and then let the police to 'snatch the film.' Investigate this motive.
"During this process, a small piece of film fragments got stuck on Miss Amano due to static electricity, and was brought back to the seat next to Saginuma Noboru." Jiang Xia patted Conan's head, "The film on the seat, this child has just been It was captured on camera.”
"That's it." Inspector Asa breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the result. "Where is the murder weapon?"
Jiang Xia: "..."
He was silent for a moment and looked down at Conan.
With an innocent expression on his face, Conan secretly moved back.
The blond female police officer who had been watching silently seemed to understand.
Her eyes fell on the chest of Amano Ikaruga, and she suddenly spoke softly: "The wire ring in the underwear, after one end is sharpened, can be turned into a needle-shaped sharp weapon. Moreover, its curved shape is equivalent to a natural grip.
"Put the person down on the toilet and use your weight to press the sharp steel wire into the back of the head. Its length is enough to penetrate into the fatal place - the scratched mark on the back of the deceased's neck was when the wire ring penetrated into the back of the head.
, caused by the skin being abraded by the other end of the steel ring.”
