Under Wada Xiaohei's call, everyone came to the door of the bathroom one after another.
"what happened?"
Mouri Kogoro came over and couldn't help but ask.
"Did you find something?" Ikue Furuura looked at Wada Takahei and asked.
"Hey, you don't look good, are you okay?"
The attentive Fujiide Yorito saw Wada Kohei's face and couldn't help but express concern.
"How can it be okay? I was almost killed just now!"
Speaking of this, Wada Kohei's face became gloomy, and his words were like a bomb, causing everyone present to make noises.
"Killed?" Kawasaki Yosuke heard this and said quickly: "What happened?"
"Are you okay?" Furuura Ikie quickly looked at Wada Kohei. Seeing that the other party was not injured, Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, "No injuries, that's great."
"Someone set up a crossbow in the bathroom stall and wanted to kill me!"
When Wada Kohei said this, he looked at Karasawa with a grateful expression on his face: "Fortunately, Mr. Karasawa is here, otherwise I would really be dead."
"What!?"
"Crossbow!?"
"So, someone has set up a trap!?"
After hearing Wada Kohei's words, everyone present screamed in surprise, with faces full of surprise.
"Master, how did you know there was a problem with the toilet?" Conan on the side became more confused and quickly turned around and asked.
"I'm curious too." Amuro Toru echoed with a smile.
The words of the two people were actually other people's inner thoughts. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Ze.
"Actually, it's very simple. I didn't think it was a game from the beginning."
Faced with everyone's doubts, Tang Ze smiled and took out his cell phone to call up the text messages he and Zhufu Gaoming had sent.
The text message he sent above was asking the other party whether the avalanche in the tunnel was an accident.
The following person who was so stupid answered that he smelled gunpowder smoke next to the tunnel, which proved that the avalanche in the tunnel was not a natural disaster, but was caused by man-made things.
"What!"
Mouri Kogoro was shocked when he saw this: "So we can't be rescued because the prisoners used bombs to cause an avalanche!?"
"That's right."
Tang Ze nodded and said: "When I learned this, I knew that this was definitely not a simple game.
The criminals used bombs to temporarily turn the church into an isolated island where no criminals could intervene.
I’m afraid the reason is to commit murder!”
"Then the prisoner is still in the church?"
After Nishino Seiya finished speaking, the faces of everyone present could not help but show fear.
Looking around at the gloomy environment, everyone couldn't help but feel excited, and they gathered together unconsciously, fearing that the prisoner would suddenly come out and attack them.
"Don't worry, everyone."
Seeing the scared people, Toru Amuro smiled and said: "After all, so many of us went out to look for clues, but Mr. Karasawa found Wada Kohei and rescued him from the agency.
This was obviously not due to luck, but because he already knew the identity of the prisoner.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to use such precise methods to stop criminals, I’m right.”
"Really?"
When Wada Kohei heard what Toru Amuro said, he looked excited and said: "Who is the prisoner!?"
"it is true."
Tangze nodded and said, "I know that. After the tunnel was blocked with bombs, I began to doubt the five of you.
But I didn't have any clue at first, so I planned to wait and see.
After that, you said that the person who sent the request to Detective Mori, Taisei Hihara, was dead, and I realized that this might be a revenge.
Later, you found a piece of paper in the church, which induced everyone to look for the code paper. I then realized that this might be the method of the criminal.
The purpose is to separate us so that he can do it more easily."
Speaking of this, Tang Ze smiled and said: "To be honest, if I hadn't discovered it, I would have stopped your actions.
After all, it is very disadvantageous to follow the rhythm of the prisoners. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.
Fortunately, the prisoner finally showed his weakness at this step.
After all, if you want a specific person to go to a specific room, you can't rely on luck, but on means.
During this process, Mr. Nishino Sumiya, who had repeatedly denied the division of labor proposed by others, came into my sight."
As Karasawa finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at Nishino Seiya in shock.
"Mr. Karasawa, are you kidding?" Fujide Yorito said in disbelief: "How could Nishino be a prisoner?"
"Yes, and the reason is too outrageous."
Kawasaki Yosuke echoed: "Just because he rejected the division of labor, he is considered a murderer or something.
I also rejected Yu Hui’s proposal.”
"But you haven't decided on the final method of division of labor, have you?"
Karasawa smiled and said: "The angle of the crossbow in the bathroom was specially prepared for Mr. Wada Kohei.
With his height of 1.8 meters, as long as he opens the door of the compartment from the front, the arrow will directly hit his head.
If it were Conan or Ikue who was the shortest, the arrows would not be able to hurt them even if they opened the door.
So it’s not important to veto other people’s division of labor, what’s important is who decides the method of division of labor.”
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Nishino Cheng also heard this, and said with a trembling tone: "The method we finally chose is to draw lots, right?"
Moreover, the paper was temporarily prepared by Ikue Furura, and the size was the same. I was just responsible for drawing it out.
This is completely random!"
"Yes, compared to the previous drawings of poker and drawing ghost feet, drawing lots should be the most random method, right?"
Hearing this, Fujiide Yorito quickly agreed and helped his companions.
"That's just what you think."
Karasawa looked at Nishino Sumiya and said: "When Amuro-kun took out the playing cards, you said the term "top card".
This is a special term used by magicians, and I was wary of it at that time.
After all, magicians are the best at turning seemingly random things into inevitable professions.
Sure enough, when you suggested drawing lots, I noticed your tactics.
Tearing a piece of paper into 9 equal parts may seem fair, but in fact it can be cheated just like the methods you rejected.
If you divide the paper into 9 parts without scissors, 8 of them will have smooth edges.
Only the four edges in the middle are the roughest burrs.
It does seem pretty fast when you draw lots, but it actually doesn't take too long to make sure the paper has smooth edges.
And by taking advantage of this feature, a plain piece of white paper can instantly become your magic prop.
In addition, there is another thing that can prove it.
When Detective Mori received the prisoner's request, he hoped that he could bring four people over.
Originally we thought it was because the client had reserved a room or something, but now it seems that it was because we could gather 9 people during the lottery.
Am I right, Mr. Nishino Sumiya?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Nishino Cheng also waved his arms excitedly, but he kept retreating, "This is too outrageous, it is not convincing at all!"
"I'm not here to think about persuasiveness or anything like that." Tang Ze smiled and turned to look at the people with complicated expressions and said, "What do you think?"
Fujiide Yorito: "Nishino"
Kawasaki Yosuke: "Is it really you?"
"I think Mr. Karasawa's reasoning is very reasonable!" Wada Kohei looked at Nishino Sumiya angrily: "Why? Why do you want to kill me!?"
"Talent, not really"
Facing the tyrannical Wada Kohei, Nishino Sumiya denied it, but the hard work on his face and the steps he kept retreating had already betrayed him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it."
Tang Ze smiled slightly when he saw this: "Each of them has received text messages. Although their names are different, I believe the phone numbers should be the same.
After tonight, when you go out, you only need to ask the Nagano Prefectural Police to investigate and find out who the owner of the mobile phone number is.
In addition, bombs have been planted in the tunnel, and forensics personnel can be invited to collect evidence when the snow melts.
In addition, there are crossbows arranged in the bathroom. Even if you are careful not to leave fingerprints, crossbows are not easy to buy.
If you start from the purchasing channel and push back, you can also identify the culprit.
If you miss any of the things I said above, you will still not be able to escape the blame."
"you"
Hearing Karasawa's words, Nishino Cheng was also completely panicked, because he also knew that if the police began to doubt him, all the arrangements he had made before would not be able to withstand investigation.
"You are talking nonsense!"
Nishino Cheng also said sternly: "There is no evidence at all for what you said, it is all your wishful thinking!
I really didn’t know that there were loopholes in the lottery, and couldn’t the crossbow be arranged by an outsider hiding here?”
"Yes, these are all your reasoning now." Kawasaki Yosuke pushed up his glasses and said: "There is no conclusive evidence, right?"
"Well, anyway, everyone should calm down first." Furuura Ikue also spoke to smooth things over.
"Everyone might as well take a step back."
Fujide Yorito also followed up and said, "Anyway, it would be nice to wait until we go out tomorrow and let the criminal investigation follow the directions mentioned by Mr. Karasawa.
Anyway, let’s calm down now.”
Obviously, several people who grew up together still have feelings for Nishino Sumiya.
And it happened that the evidence that Tang Ze produced was all indirect, and there was no way to directly identify the other party as the murderer.
This caused several people to unconsciously "help relatives but not help others", and subconsciously protected Nishino Sumiya. At that time, the peacemaker wanted to wait until they left before talking.
But how could Tang Ze agree? As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to be a thief, but a thousand days to guard against a thief." Today has just reached dusk, and there is still a night to go.
If he is not solved, he, as the source of the trouble, will not be able to guarantee that the other party will do something outrageous.
Therefore, the current situation seems to be that peace is the most important thing, and the two of them can take a step back and live in peace, but in fact it gives Nishino Sumiya the space to continue committing crimes, and Karasawa naturally refuses to agree.
Moreover, Tang Ze knew that the other party had a bag of poison in his hand. It would be terrible if the other party really felt that he was doomed and tried to poison his food.
Therefore, there is no way Tangze could give in. That would be equivalent to returning the poisonous snake that has already been stabbed in his hand.
"Why do you think I knew for a long time that the tunnel had been blown up, but I didn't do anything?"
Faced with the situation in front of him, Tang Ze was not annoyed or answered, but said in a meaningful tone: "Just to see who will jump out.
This is not the first time I have encountered an isolated island situation like "Blizzard Mountain Villa" that is only found in novels.
For situations like this, I have only two ways to deal with them.
Stand still for the time being, and then see who incites everyone to separate.
If you can see his murder plan, lure the snake out of its hole. If you can't see it, just suppress it by force.
I don’t know what each of you is thinking right now, and I don’t know if each of you realizes the seriousness of the current situation.
But in my opinion, the current situation is very serious. When you spoke for him, did you ever think that you might be the next one to be attacked?
You don’t think that the prisoner summoned you just to treat you as a spectator, do you?”
"You guys, you have to wait until you are attacked before you can react!?" Wada Kohei also scolded from the side: "I almost got it!"
After hearing the words of the two people, several people present looked at each other, and then they realized belatedly that all this was not a joke, they were really in danger of death.
Suddenly, the pressure came to Nishino Sumiya again.
"Mr. Nishino, currently you are the most suspect."
Tang Ze looked at Nishino Sumiya and smiled slightly: "So for everyone's safety, I ask for your cooperation.
Well, in view of everyone's opinions, I give up on tying up Mr. Nishino and treating him as a prisoner.
But on the other hand, please also ask Mr. Nishino to cooperate with me and let me search your belongings to make sure there are no dangerous items. How about that?"
Because Karasawa's previous words were particularly tough, several people's expressions became visibly relaxed after they heard that Karasawa was willing to give in and just checked whether Nishino Sumiya was carrying any dangerous items.
"Can!"
"I think it's okay."
"Otherwise, everyone should check it out."
"Yes, in this case we can also feel at ease with each other."
Several people laughed and agreed upon hearing Karasawa's words, and some even considered Nishino Sumiya's feelings and suggested that everyone get tested together.
In their view, this was just an unimportant matter, and Tangze had indeed taken their attitude into consideration.
After all, the other party's attitude was so tough before, and they said that such things were "suppressed" before, so now the request for a body search is not excessive at all.
What's more, they themselves have some concerns. This can also make everyone change from doubting each other and being wary to trusting each other again.
But it's a pity that only Nishino Sumiya's face became more and more ugly.
