Chapter 2661 2665 [The Disastrous Failure of the Detective]
Conan wanted to immediately go to the Memu Police Department to ask for details. However, at this time, the police department was busy giving instructions in full view of the public. After a closer look, Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya were not far away from him. If he were to find him now,
Ask and others will definitely hear you.
Thinking of this, Conan could only hold back and clench his fists. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully for clues about the current case: Now it seems that only by solving this case as soon as possible can he get information from the Memu Police Department.
Not far away.
Jiang Xia asked the Mumu Police Department: "Have the lights in this corridor been checked?"
Megure Police Department nodded: "Takagi told me just now that the light bulb has been tampered with, so it never lights up, and as long as someone presses the light switch, it will cause a short circuit and cause a power outage for the whole family.
"In addition, the surface of the lamp is very clean, as if it has just been wiped - the murderer must have made these and then wiped off the fingerprints."
Speaking of this, the Mumu Police Department scratched his head in confusion: "This is really the most sophisticated thief I have ever seen. He actually set up traps in the victim's home... What is he trying to do? It would be nice to have some time to browse through a few more bookshelves."
ah."
Jiang Xia seemed to have guessed the answer to this question: "Because..."
The Mu Mu Police Department immediately became energetic and looked at him expectantly.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and turned to look at Maya Hashimoto.
Maya Hashimoto, who was eating melon quietly: "!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Mr. Hashimoto, what do you think? - I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if your reasoning skills have deteriorated."
Maya Hashimoto: "..." What kind of reasoning? I'm not a detective!
However, he is now the "Watson" arranged by Lord Uzzo, and he cannot turn a deaf ear to Holmes's questions...
Thinking of this, "Watson" who was forced to take up his post gritted his teeth and could only rack his brains to recall the detective novels he had read, pretending to be confident in combing through the information at hand: "The messy information next to the corpse
In the library, there are treasure notes left by Master Zhengying, but this room has no windows that allow people to enter and exit.
"The room next to it has a window near the back door, and it is wide open. Judging from this information, uh... By the way, the murderer spent so much effort setting up this blackout mechanism to facilitate his escape!
"
The Mumu Police Department was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Maya Hashimoto uses herself to save others: "The room where the magic notes are kept has no exit. If you want to steal things in a place like that, you must always be aware of your escape route.
"The murderer didn't know the specific location of the notebook, so he could only spend an unknown amount of time rummaging through it. Normally, in this case, the murderer should bring one more person to help him look out. But now, it seems that he should be a
A lone wolf without helpers.
"So he made a mechanism to help him look out - as long as someone came to the second floor and wanted to turn on the lights in the corridor, the whole house would suddenly lose power.
“When an average person encounters a tripping and power outage, their first reaction is to go back to the first floor to find the switch.
"The murderer originally planned to take this opportunity to sneak out of the room and escape through the window of the next room. What he didn't expect was that many people came to the deserted home today."
Conan: "..." Being so good at thinking about things from the murderer's point of view, you must be an outlaw.
Maya Hashimoto inadvertently lowered her head and saw his disgusted eyes.
"Huh? The look in this kid's eyes... is he jealous that I have a chance to show off?"
Maya Hashimoto was startled at first, then came back to his senses and felt happy: "I almost forgot, this guy is a paper king. Although I was forced to take up the job, for him, watching my reasoning is probably better than getting a slap on the butt."
It would be even more uncomfortable to beat him... If I can beat this annoying brat, my reasoning is worth it!"
Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto suddenly became more motivated. He cleared his throat and continued what he had just said:
"This mechanism may be able to prevent Mrs. Zhengying, but the deceased did not turn on the lights when he went upstairs, but directly used the light at the top of the stairs to reach this room.
"The deceased opened the door and originally wanted to turn on the light in the house, but unexpectedly saw the thief who was rummaging through the house.
"The thief was startled, and in excitement he killed her to silence her. At the same time, he accelerated the progress in a panic, and then turned the library into such a mess.
"At this moment, Miss Mori, Suzuki and the magician walked upstairs together and triggered the switch preset by the murderer.
"The murderer then took the opportunity to secretly drag the body of the female magician out of the house and place it on the corridor. He then quietly entered the next room and escaped through the window. In this way, once everyone was attracted to the body,
If he pays attention, he will have plenty of time to get out of here."
Suzuki Sonoko listened and suddenly felt something was wrong: "..." Why did he politely add "Miss" when he called Xiaolan, but only called her "Suzuki"? Why did Jiang Xia's detective colleague treat her differently?
Conan's ears twitched, and he looked up warily: "..." This guy shouted so politely, could he be interested in Xiaolan?
"And that galaxy magician, in the car just now, when he taught us a simple little magic trick, he even touched Xiaolan's hand..." The more Conan thought about it, the more straightforward he muttered, "Although Xiaolan was needed at that time
There is a ring lying flat on the palm of the hand, but why is that ring not placed on Jiang Xia or Yuanzi’s hand?... One or two, it’s really endless.”
It happened that he had some questions in his mind. Thinking of this, Conan said in a childish voice: "What Uncle Hashimoto said is so complicated. I can't understand it. Why can't it be other simpler situations? For example -"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Xinghe Tongwu: "For example, Uncle Xinghe is actually the murderer - when everyone separated before dinner, he went upstairs to kill the deceased's sister and set up a power-off mechanism.
"Then he took two witnesses to the second floor and pressed the switch he set, triggering a power outage.
"While Sister Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi were so frightened that they stopped in place and did not dare to move, he took the opportunity to quietly enter the library, drag the body of the deceased out, and place it at the end of the corridor.
"In the end, he only needs to return to the two of them and the matter will be solved."
Maya Hashimoto: "?!"
Why do you feel that the reasoning of this kid with glasses sounds better? How old is this kid!
...He is worthy of being chosen by Mr. Uzo. If he wants to compete with such a talented kid, it seems that he still needs to improve.
However, at this time, before Xinghe Tongwu could defend himself, a voice sounded first.
"Conan, this is impossible." Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly, "I was too scared when the power went out, so I kept holding the arms of Mr. Xinghe and Yuanzi - the three of us didn't move in the same place.
