"The woman named Hirukawa Toshiko is the criminal in this case!"
As the answer flashed in Karasawa's mind, Sera Masumi on the side spoke almost at the same time.
"Eh!?"
Hearing Sera Masumi's words, the Memaku police officer looked at him in surprise. He did not expect to make such a decision after 60% of the situation.
"Can you please arrange the mechanism according to the method I told you, and then call Ms. Hirukawa up?"
Sera Masumi had a smile on her face as she had everything under control: "There are some things I want to talk to her about."
"This" Officer Megure looked at Karasawa and asked, "Brother Karasawa, what do you think?"
"Since Miss Sera is so confident, just do what she says."
Tangze naturally knew what Officer Megure meant, smiled and said nonchalantly: "If it can be solved, I will be happy and relaxed and can save some words."
"Okay." Officer Megure heard Karasawa's words and understood that the other party had the answer in his mind after reading this layer of clues.
Since the other party said that Sera Masumi should do the reasoning first, he probably had a love for talent and wanted to see the level of the child in front of him.
It’s not surprising that Memaku and others would have such thoughts. In their eyes, Tangze is actually quite easy to teach.
Not to mention the kid Conan, Hattori Heiji from Kansai also likes to hang out with him. He will look for him every time he comes to Kanto, and they will investigate cases together when they encounter them.
I don’t know if Hattori Heiji has any guidance, but Conan’s skill is obvious to all.
The other party's insight and reasoning ability far exceeded those of his peers, even the criminals like them were surprised.
However, considering that the other party has a master who is legendary in their Metropolitan Police Department, it is not surprising that he has such an exceptional performance.
After all, he was noticed by Tangze Criminal and was said to be a very talented child. How could he be average?
In addition, the other party lived in the home of another famous detective, Kogoro Mori, and I guess I learned a lot from him by following him.
With Conan's lessons learned from the past, Karasawa's behavior in front of him was more like a love of talent and wanting to see what the other person's level was.
But in fact, their ideas were completely different from Tang Ze's ideas, and there was no overlap at all.
The reason why Karasawa asked Officer Megure and others to cooperate with Sera Masumi's reasoning was because he wanted to see what the other party planned to do.
In the original work, her reasoning failed because she missed a key link.
But this mistake was made deliberately by the other party to test Conan.
But now that Tang Ze was here, he didn't know if the other party would dig a hole for Conan to jump into.
After all, if the other party makes a mistake, he can correct it directly, and naturally it will not serve the purpose of testing Conan.
So he planned to push the boat along and see what the other party planned to do.
Afterwards, Officer Megure asked Chiba to call the three suspects.
"I heard from the police officer that the case has been resolved?"
After arriving on the sixth floor, Hirukawa Toshiko and the others got off the elevator and came to Karasawa and others and asked impatiently: "Does that mean that it has been found that Mr. Kamizumi committed suicide by falling down the building?"
"No, the incident of Shangzhu Zhenwu falling from the building was fabricated."
Because Karasawa also acquiesced to Sera Masumi's conclusion, Megure was still confident when he said this: "It is precisely because of this that we asked you three to take the elevator that was not in use at the time of the incident.
Go to the sixth floor.
Because the criminal used the elevator to disguise the murder case as a suicide scene.
That’s what this Sera-san said.”
After hearing Officer Memu's words, the three of them were stunned on the spot, seemingly unable to accept this reality for a while.
Because the other party said this, he completely regarded the three of them as suspects.
"Anyway, Sister Sera, please tell me your reasoning quickly."
With a smile on Conan's face, what he said was really serious: "In this way, we can also help you verify and see if there is a wrong opponent."
Hearing Conan's slightly provocative words, Sera Masumi looked at Karasawa again, lowered his head and looked at Conan.
"Okay, then please take a closer look~"
There was no fear in Sera's pure eyes, and she responded cheerfully with a smile: "I'm going to start performing the magic technique I deduced on the spot now!"
"But Mr. Kamizumi fell on the rooftop, didn't he?"
Hearing the other party's sworn words, the fat woman on the side asked with confusion: "Why are we here?"
"Yes, even if it was a murder case, the criminal should have pushed the guy living upstairs from the rooftop to the downstairs." The middle-aged man also echoed.
"As I said before, Mr. Kamizumi's shoes and pressure are the ones to kill."
After hearing this, Sera Masumi replied: "But in fact, this is an illusion deliberately created by the murderer to prevent the police from discovering it. In fact, the sixth floor of the annex is the scene of the murderer's real murder!"
Having said this, Sera Masumi turned to look at Hirukawa Toshiko and said straight to the point: "Ms. Hirukawa, did you use the elevator and wheelchair for your trick this time?
While creating an alibi, he also threw Sadao Kamizumi directly from the broken window on the sixth floor!"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Sera Masumi's words made Hirakawa Toshiko's pupils shrink, but as she was shaken, she just stabilized her mind and before she could think of an excuse, the fat woman beside her immediately interrupted Sera Masumi's words:
"Ms. Hirukawa was with me when Mr. Kamizumi fell from the stairs!"
"Yes, we were in the car at the time, and we saw Mr. Uizumi fall with our own eyes!"
The middle-aged man also said anxiously: "In this case, how could Ms. Hirukawa be the culprit!?"
"Just, that's it..."
With the protection of the two people, Hirukawa Toshiko also came back to her senses and said: "I was behind the wheel and reversing the car at that time. How could I use the elevator and wheelchair to commit murder at that time?"
"Even if people are in the car, it's still OK."
Tang Ze said lightly: "That's what the so-called trick is, otherwise it wouldn't be called a trick.
I have seen countless criminals, and there are many murderous methods that may seem unbelievable but were successfully implemented in the end."
"What Karasawa Criminal said is right, and the trick you implemented this time is the same."
Sera Zhenzhen looked at Hirukawa Toshiko with a half-smile and said: "With your arrangement, you only need to press the elevator button in advance and wait.
Afterwards, even if you are sitting in the car, the designed mechanism can control the electric wheelchair to automatically transport Mr. Kamizumi sitting on it from the second floor to the sixth floor. After killing him, the wheelchair will be automatically returned to the second floor.
Of course, the long fishing line and the rubber bands tied to the ends must also be prepared in advance."
"We will prepare these two things," Megure said.
"Okay, in that case, tell me your reasoning."
Hirukawa Toshiko said with a gloomy face: "I want to see what you said, what is the mechanism that can automatically push people to death like magic!"
"Can."
Looking at the aggressive Hirukawa Toshiko, Sera Masumi responded and began to reason: "First you came here with your companions, and then you proposed to talk to Mr. Kamizumi alone.
It is normal for the other person to be irritable and drink alcohol recently. When he drinks until he loses consciousness, you can put Mr. Kamizumi, who is drunk, with his legs bent and standing in front of his chest, in the room he borrowed for play.
On top of an electric wheelchair.
Then you push the electric wheelchair to the elevator door, open the elevator door and enter.
I don’t know if you have noticed that the floor information is displayed inside the elevator door.
There is actually a fixed mirror on the sub-screen.
You take the fishing line and tie a few rubber bands at the end and put it on the bracket that fixes the mirror.
Then you press the elevator button on the first floor from the outside and let the empty elevator go down to the ground floor to measure the length of the fishing line from the first floor to the sixth floor.
Then press the button to get on the elevator back to the sixth floor, reduce the fishing line that was originally measured to a sufficient length by about 30 centimeters, and tie it under the wheel of the electric wheelchair.
With all this ready, the preparatory work for this magic is over.
Of course, in order to avoid the fishing line being blocked by obstacles during the magic trick, you first retract the fishing line to the wheelchair, and then push Mr. Kamizumi in the wheelchair into the elevator together.
After arriving on the second floor, you push the electric wheelchair to the corridor on the second floor and turn on the power so that the forward direction of the electric wheelchair faces the elevator door.
Then you closed the elevator door and came to the first floor, while the electric wheelchair kept hitting the elevator door.
After waiting on the first floor, Ms. Hirakawa met the kid Conan downstairs.
You stop them and tell them that this is a special elevator for the annex, and they can’t get to where they want to go by taking this elevator.
But really, you're just trying to avoid them taking the elevator.
After all, if they get on the elevator, they will definitely be able to spot the strange fish line hanging on the mirror above the inside of the elevator, and naturally they can also see the fish line extending outward.
If they are more curious, they will naturally find your arrangement by following the fishing line.
In addition, you have pressed the elevator buttons on the second and sixth floors before you get off, so they won't notice unless they get on the elevator."
"The second and sixth floors..."
The middle-aged man hesitated when he heard Sera Masumi's unclear and harsh words: "But can this really kill someone?"
"As the saying goes, "Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times." Since you don't believe it, let's try it for ourselves."
Masumi Sera was not angry when being questioned. Instead, she looked at Officer Megure and offered to verify her reasoning: "Mr. Criminal, is that okay?"
"No problem." Officer Megure heard this and picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Chiba, are you ready over there?"
"Ready." Chiba stood downstairs and said with a walkie-talkie: "I have pressed the elevator buttons for the second and sixth floors in advance, and I am going up now."
After hearing the words from the intercom, Sera Masumi looked at the hostile Hirukawa Toshiko and smiled lightly: "When the elevator arrived on the second floor and opened the door, the electric wheelchair that was originally blocked by the elevator door and could not move forward smoothly,
entered the elevator.
The electric wheelchair, which could only advance along branch lines, took a few steps forward before hitting the opposite elevator door again.
This Conan kid has already mentioned in advance that the elevator in this hotel has elevator doors in both directions.
The elevator doors that open on the second floor and those on the sixth floor are on different sides.
In this way, the electric wheelchair that entered the elevator on the second floor will automatically exit the elevator as soon as it reaches the sixth floor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened in front of everyone, and the electric wheelchair with the dummy on it slowly drove out.
"The next step is very simple. You only need to use the trolleys, paint buckets, and cardboard boxes placed next to the elevator to easily control the direction of the electric wheelchair and make the electric wheelchair go straight along the planned route.
On the wall below the window Mr. Kamizumi smashed earlier..."
Following Sera Masumi's words, the dummy, whose legs were put on a wheelchair, slowly passed by everyone.
But as the words fell, the electric wheelchair also reached the edge of the broken window.
However, Hirukawa Toshiko, who was watching all this, showed no trace of panic or fear. Instead, she showed a subtle yet malicious sneer.
"Bang!"
The electric wheelchair made a sound when it hit the wall, but it didn't hit the imaginary wheelchair.
Reality
, the electric wheelchair rushed straight to the broken window under the gaze of everyone, but
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel are not a piece of glass that goes directly to the ground, but are just right.
Even though the position of the dummy's chest and head was already higher than the half-year wall, the reaction force caused by the forward speed of the electric wheelchair after hitting the wall was still not enough to throw the dummy out of the window.
"strangeness…"
Seeing the electric wheelchair constantly hitting the wall while the dummy sat firmly in the wheelchair, Sera Masumi panicked for a moment: "How could this happen..."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Officer Megure quickly ran to the window and said, "Didn't you throw the person out at all?"
"Impossible! Logically speaking, after the electric wheelchair hits the wall, the reaction potential energy generated should be able to directly make the dummy fly out of the window!!"
Sera Masumi panicked and explained: "Of course, there is another possibility that the person in the electric wheelchair will be thrown out when the wheelchair returns to the second floor."
"But if we follow your previous reasoning, the prisoner waited until Mr. Kamizumi fell from the building before recovering the electric wheelchair and letting him return to the second floor?"
Although Takagi is not good at reasoning, he has handled many cases with Karasawa and Mouri Kogoro, and he is very sharp at asking questions and finding logical loopholes.
Although his tone was very calm and had an attitude of asking for advice, it instantly pushed Sera Masumi into an embarrassing situation.
