Chapter 407: Its better to exclude, its better to reason than to exclude
Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo walked up to Noto forensic officer and asked: "Can you detect blood stains from more than a hundred years ago here?"
After a few seconds of silence, the Noto forensic officer shook his head helplessly, "I'm just an ordinary forensic examiner, not a scientist."
"Okay, excuse me, you can continue working."
In order to further prove his conjecture, Qin Zhibo wanted to see if he could use scientific methods, but unfortunately Officer Mumu's men were not scientific enough.
However, if Su Fanghongzi wants to forge these Xiaobul masks, she must not be the only one who knows about it, and she must need the help of others.
In this case, there is only her secretary.
Qin Zhibo called the secretary aside and asked straight to the point: "Ms. Inaba, I want to know if these Xiaobo masks collected by Ms. Su Fang are all fakes?"
After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, the secretary was stunned for a moment, and then showed a forced smile, "How is it possible? Those cursed masks are all genuine, otherwise the teacher would not have died tragically due to the curse."
The secretary's eyes were wandering when she said this. Even if she didn't use psychology to interpret it, she knew she was lying.
"Miss Inaba, your lying skills are not very good at all."
"Maybe Ms. Su Fang chose you as her secretary because you couldn't deceive her because of this in you."
"However." Qin Zhibo's tone changed and he suddenly became serious, "Your charity gala was faked. It's not easy for you to deny it, right?"
"Ah!" The secretary looked surprised, "Absolutely not!"
Qin Zhibo ignored it and continued: "Actually, the reason why I suddenly want to attend your charity gala is because someone entrusted me to investigate your embezzlement of all the money donated by the charity gala."
"As long as I ask Officer Memu to investigate Ms. Su Fanghongzi's financial situation, I will know everything about it. You can't deny it."
Under Qin Zhibo's righteous words, the secretary wanted to forcefully defend herself, but she couldn't think of any good excuse, so she could only bow her head and admit it.
"It's the teacher who makes money in the name of charity. I'm just helping."
"I'm just a part-time worker. What can I do? I'm just a part-time worker." The secretary began to mutter.
"Associating criminals are also criminals, but I haven't told the police about this yet. As long as you surrender now, I believe you won't go to jail for too long."
Looking at Qin Zhibo's serious face, the secretary's eyes were a little moved, "Thank you."
"Can you tell me about Xiao Bol's Mask now?" Qin Zhibo asked.
"Oh, um," the secretary explained, "Actually, Teacher Su Fang really has a cursed mask of Xiao Bull, but that's the only one."
"In order to satisfy his own vanity, the teacher found a sculptor to make 200 masks that were 1:1 replicas of the original ones. They were the 200 masks in the Mask Hall."
Qin Zhibo nodded, and things turned out as he expected.
"Where is the only genuine one?" Qin Zhibo asked again.
"The genuine article is locked in the safe in the teacher's lounge and is never taken out for display."
Qin Zhibo remembered the lounge where Su Fanghongzi invited him to discuss the commission. There was indeed an inconspicuous safe in the corner.
"Okay, you go and surrender."
Under Qin Zhibo's gaze, the secretary lowered her head and walked tremblingly towards Officer Megure, who was discussing the case with Kogoro Mori.
"What! You want to surrender!"
"It turns out the murderer is you!"
Officer Megure and Kogoro Mouri exclaimed one after another, which shocked Conan and others next to them.
Although Conan didn't think clearly about the method, he thought that the murderer should be one of the six people living in the west wing.
Although Koizumi Hongzi has a perverse personality, because Koizumi Hongzi was brought here by Qin Zhibo, Conan trusts Qin Zhibo more, so Aiwujiwu does not think that Koizumi Hongzi will be the murderer.
In this case, the murderer is one of the five luxurious ones.
Just when Conan was about to do further elimination, one of the five people actually took the initiative to surrender.
"Are you really the murderer? How did you kill Ms. Su Fang in the secret room?"
Hearing Mouri Kogoro's inquiry, the secretary quickly shook her head and waved her hands, refusing: "No! I am not the murderer of Teacher Su Fang!"
"I just assisted Teacher Su Fang in embezzling and making fraudulent donations to charity!"
After the secretary's explanation, everyone understood what was going on.
Officer Megure suddenly felt bored and casually asked Brother Takagi to inform the second search section next door to come and collect the results.
But just when Takagi was about to take the person down, Mouri Kogoro suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Please wait a moment, Officer Takagi"
Takagi, who was walking out with his secretary, was stunned on the spot, "Huh?"
"Humph. I understand everything." Mouri Kogoro showed a confident expression as always, "The murderer is you! Secretary!"
Everyone: "Ah!?"
"We were almost deceived by you. You thought that as a famous detective, I would soon deduce the truth of the case, so you wanted to cover up the major crime with a small crime."
"Actually, you killed Su Fanghongzi because you collaborated with her in corruption and the spoils were unevenly divided!"
Mouri Kogoro ruled it out seriously.
For Mouri Kogoro, reasoning depends on personal status, but exclusion does not.
It's better to exclude, it's better to reason than to exclude. Making the murderer feel comfortable is Maori's personal talent...
When Officer Mu Mu heard this, he nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's it."
Conan, who was watching, also felt that it was reasonable, because although the murderer this time took great pains to create a secret room, he did not disguise the scene as a suicide.
In this way, the police will be able to find the murderer sooner or later. Instead of being discovered, it is better to directly admit to another crime with a smaller crime to confuse the police.
This kind of technique was not something Conan had never seen before in Yoneka Town.
Did the case just get solved in such a confusing way?
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood again, the secretary quickly shook her head and defended, "This is different from what was promised!"
"What was promised?"
Officer Megure and Kogoro Mouri took a step closer at the same time, questioning with dark faces.
The secretary quickly explained loudly: "Mr. Qin asked me to surrender!"
After a while, the police finally found Qin Zhibo who was drilling out of the ventilation duct.
"Yes, I asked her to surrender, but it was just for corruption."
Qin Zhibo climbed out of the ventilation duct and brought out evidence along the way.
"The evidence is in my hand, it's this thing."
Qin Zhibo took out a piece of rope and a pair of gloves in his hand. A certain section of the rope was still stained with bright red blood.
"Brother Qin! This is..." Officer Mu Mu looked surprised.
Qin Zhibo's face showed a confident smile, "This is the evidence that the murderer threw in the ventilation duct."
