"That is to say..." Otaki Police Department understood, "the bride did not die after the groom, but died in the wooden house just after she left the wedding banquet!"
Once you grasp this, the clues will immediately appear.
Otaki Police Department was in a good mood. He turned to look at the bride's brother: "When you sent her back, did you see any suspicious persons?"
"...Uncle Otaki." Hattori Heiji rubbed his face speechlessly, "Why don't you change your question to, 'When you sent her back, did you kill her directly?'"
Everyone in the room: "!"
The bride’s brother: “?!”
Jiang Xia looked at him: "I remember that you were carrying a large sum of money. Your motive for murder must be this money. As long as the groom dies first, your sister will inherit most of his property - and you are the only sister.
Relatives, as long as your sister dies soon after, those properties will naturally be yours."
The bride's brother broke into a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "I just borrowed some money from outside. How long do you want to dwell on this trivial matter?! - Think about it with your brains! My sister has married into a wealthy family, and I
Will I be short of money? After marriage, my sister will just slip some from her fingers and give it to me, and I will be able to pay off those loans. How could I kill them because of this!"
Jiang Xia: "What you just said should be your original plan. But unfortunately, your sister is well aware of your character and has no intention of using the man's money to repay your debt.
"Your plan failed and you became angry, so you had to think of another way to repay the money - as long as the groom dies first and your sister follows closely behind, then their huge property will fall into your hands.
"Tonight, you tampered with your sister's drink first, and when she felt unwell and had to leave early, you could smoothly send her back to the cabin.
"After you put her on the bed, you put a pillow on your head and shot her, so that the sound of the gunshot could be muted, and secondly, you could prevent yourself from being splashed with blood.
"After killing the person, you took her cell phone, left the villa with the pistol, and hurried back to the wedding banquet.
“Next, you return to the dinner party as if nothing happened, find an opportunity to use the bride’s mobile phone, and send a message to the groom about the appointment.
"The groom came to the parking lot as promised, but he didn't see the bride. He only saw you waiting there with a gun. You killed him using the same method you used to kill your sister."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Calvados, who was brought by the Otaki Police Department:
"When you killed the groom, the bullet penetrated his body and flew to the path behind the parking lot. And this... Mr. Yamaguchi? That's his name, right?"
"Mr. Yamaguchi happened to pass by pushing a tool cart, and your bullet hit the wooden box he was pushing, leaving a few fragments."
Jiang Xia smiled at the gloomy man in front of him and said: "You are really lucky - if you had taken one step faster, the bullet would have hit your body."
…So that’s what it is?
Hattori Heiji and Conan couldn't see the faint murderous smell of molar sticks. They looked at each other in surprise and asked that "Mr. Yamaguchi" in unison: "I was almost hit by a bullet, why didn't you call the police?!"
Calvados: "..."
As a cadre of an organization walking in darkness, it is his instinct to avoid contact with the police.
And tonight, as the "third person" who had a brush with the murderer and was almost killed, if this matter was made public, he would inevitably become an important witness, and the police would probably be involved in the next period of time.
So taking advantage of the darkness and the blind spot for surveillance, Calvados did not hesitate when he noticed that a shooting occurred nearby. He let go of the tool cart and ran to the nearby bushes - as a professional sniper, he
Knows exactly how to avoid sight from the parking lot.
As soon as he hid, the murderer came over with a gun in his hand and a murderous look. The murderer seemed to want to kill the people passing by, but he didn't see anyone, so he felt guilty and ran away in a hurry.
After he left, Calvados pushed the cart as if nothing had happened and continued walking to the warehouse.
I thought I could get away with it safely, but as the investigation continued, the police focused their attention from relatives to them, the staff. And what led to all this...
Recalling what Officer Otaki said just now, "Thanks for the idea you just provided!", he looked at Jiang Xia quietly, with murderous intent in his eyes: Sure enough, this detective is not in harmony with their organization and should be eradicated as soon as possible.
...It's a pity that now is not the time. Now, instead of eradicating the detective, what he should do is to get out of this mess of troubles first.
With this thought in mind, Calvados wrote down this account in silence.
Then he began his simple and powerful defense: "I didn't see clearly who the murderer was, and I was worried that he would silence me if I spoke out, so I didn't speak out."
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji: "..."
After walking around the manor just now, they also thought of the murderer's murder method.
The reason why they didn't rush to solve the case was because they hadn't figured out one thing yet - what role did the broken pieces that fell near the scene of the groom's death and the person who passed by play in the whole case?
If it is the murderer's helper, his presence seems too weak, and the murderer has already planned everything and does not need help.
And if he was just an unlucky passer-by, then even if he didn't call the police, why didn't he mention a word about his experience and act like nothing happened? - This doesn't make sense at all.
And now, the answer is revealed before their eyes.
——It’s just because of timidity.
"You..." Hattori Heiji stared at this stern-mouthed guy, with veins twitching on his forehead: You have the look of a tough guy who would rather die than surrender, but you are so timid? You really can't be judged by appearance!
The Otaki Police Department has seen many kinds of people and has some understanding of this kind of behavior. His attention quickly returned to the case itself: "Since there are witnesses, that's even better - although I couldn't see it clearly.
The face of the murderer, but at least it can prove the time when the murderer was killed. Jiang Xia’s reasoning is indeed correct!"
"Wait a minute, what do you mean it's right!" The bride's brother looked at the group of police detectives and witnesses talking to themselves, and severely interrupted their pleasant conversation:
"Did you forget one thing? - If I remember correctly, the murder weapon that killed the two of them was found on the other side of the river. After I sent my sister back, I never went to the other side. If the murderer
It’s really me, why should I kill the groom? This doesn’t make sense at all!”
