Chapter 438: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
Kudo Shinichi endured the severe pain in his heart and wanted to say something, but he was too weak to think of what to say.
Assuming that there is another world line, Kudo Shinichi will collect evidence honestly.
Although the existing evidence is not enough to directly convict, it can gradually suppress the murderer's psychology, put enough pressure on him, and then defeat him in one fell swoop.
But this time, in order to solve the case faster, Kudo Shinichi started to reason as soon as he found a breakthrough, which is equivalent to the boss in the dungeon game rushing to output before he has broken through the defense.
Face-to-face proof questions like this are often a psychological game between the detective and the murderer, competing to see who has the stronger mental endurance.
Kudo Shinichi was obviously acting too hastily.
Officer Megure on the side also felt that Kudo Shinichi was not in a good state. He clearly had not solved the problem of why the gun smoke reaction could not be detected, but he wanted to convict the murderer in one step despite insufficient evidence.
Relying on his decades of case-handling intuition, Officer Megure also felt that the Oba Satoru in front of him should be the murderer. However, he was a policeman and had to abide by procedural justice, so he could only comfort his brother Kudo, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Brother Kudo, you don't seem to be in very good condition today. Go down and take a rest first."
Kudo Shinichi stubbornly held on to the wall, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still stared at Ohba Satoru.
Ohba Satoru looked at Kudo Shinichi's embarrassed appearance and mocked: "I think your physical condition is not good, or is it that you have no chance to sing anymore?"
Ohba Satoru's darkened face made everyone present feel a little scary. Even the president's daughter, who had been lining up with him, vaguely felt that something was wrong. The man in front of him didn't seem as gentle and gentle as usual.
But no one present could produce reliable evidence to convict him, so he could only let his provocations pass.
"Don't worry, if you have a hundred stupid questions like this, I am confident in giving you a hundred answers."
"Hehehe"
Just when Ohba Satoru was standing arrogantly like the final boss, the lights in the corridor in front of the elevator suddenly turned on, illuminating the originally dark environment.
Everyone felt a little dazzling at first, but when they came to their senses, a huge doll suit appeared in front of everyone.
"This, this is." Officer Memu said doubtfully.
Qin Zhibo stood up from behind, patted the doll suit's head, and said seriously: "What is this, Mr. Oba should know best, right?"
Ohba Satoru snorted contemptuously, "This is just the company's mascot doll costume. Is there any problem?"
Qin Zhibo opened the right eye of the doll suit with his hand wearing white gloves, took out a bag of things from it, and continued to ask: "You should be familiar with the things in this, right?"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that there was a plastic bag inside. There were also a few rubber bands and a pair of gloves in the plastic bag.
Seeing this thing, Kudo Shinto, who was holding on to the wall, suddenly had an idea and thought of the reason why Ohba Satoru made it impossible to detect gun smoke reaction in his body.
"I understand. Before committing the crime, you put on gloves on your right hand, put the plastic bag outside, and tied the mouth of the bag tightly with a rubber band, so that there would be no smoke reaction on your body."
"In addition, the lights here were as dim as before, so Ms. Tatsumi wouldn't be able to see what you were holding."
"Now as long as you take that thing for testing, you will immediately know that it must have your fingerprints on it."
Kudo Shinichi held up his body and showed a forced smile.
But just when Kudo Shinichi thought that this case could finally be concluded, Ohba Satoru laughed evilly again.
"Humph, you said there are my fingerprints on the plastic bag? Of course!"
"Because I did touch that plastic bag!"
"And it's not just me, there are also my subordinates who help me carry the doll clothes, and even Mr. Qin!"
"What!" Kudo Shinichi almost gritted his teeth and said these two sounds.
Officer Memu also looked surprised and asked what the hell was going on.
Ohba Satoru explained leisurely, "Actually, when I asked my subordinates to carry it, I asked my subordinates to check the doll suit and found that one eye could not be closed, so I found the plastic bag inside."
"But I thought it was some important part of the doll suit, so I put it back. After all, it was always the president who wore the doll suit. I don't know what the structure of the doll suit is."
"Not only are my fingerprints and those of my subordinates on it, Mr. Qin also touched it at that time."
Ohba Satoru looked around at everyone with an arrogant expression.
Originally, Ohba Satoru was a little worried about the sudden addition of the famous detective, fearing that the murderous plan he had been preparing for several years would be disrupted by this enemy's temporary invitation.
His complete plan was to suggest to the president in advance that he would pretend to have something to do and leave this year, and then suddenly return to the reception in a doll costume to give everyone a surprise.
While the president was pretending to take the elevator downstairs and then take the elevator back upstairs, he shot and killed the president during a passionate kiss with the president's daughter.
With plastic bags and gloves, a dim environment, a silencer, and covering the president's daughter's ears with your hands, you can ensure that even if someone kills someone in person, the president's daughter will not notice anything.
After killing the person, he used a given pearl necklace to attract the president's daughter to go to the bathroom and wear the necklace in front of the mirror. He took the opportunity to throw the pistol into the garbage pipe.
Afterwards, he went to a private room to change into his doll clothes and prepare to go on stage. He pretended that he happened to find the plastic bag in the doll suit, and then left his and his subordinates' fingerprints on it.
The main reason why the plastic bag gloves and the pistol were not thrown away was to make the police think that the murderer came in from outside the hotel and left wearing gloves.
After all, if the gloves were shown with the pistol, the police might think that the murderer was someone in the hotel and threw away the gloves because he continued to stay in the hotel.
Leaving your own fingerprints and those of your subordinates is to prevent the police from actually finding out what is hidden in the doll suit.
It can be said that for today's plan, Ohba Satoru has worked hard and thought of all possible situations. This is also the reason why he is confident.
While moving the doll clothes into a single room, Ohba Satoru suddenly realized a more perfect plan.
After killing someone, the only time to leave his and his subordinates' fingerprints on the plastic bag is when he puts on his doll suit and prepares to go on stage.
In terms of time arrangement, I have to spend at least 2 to 3 minutes with the president's daughter to change the pearl necklace, and then return to the private room to let my subordinates help me change the doll clothes.
During this period, if some cheap employee pressed the elevator button and discovered the body in advance, he would have no reason to wear a doll suit and leave his fingerprints on the plastic bag.
By then, this fatal evidence will rot in your own hands and you will be unable to process it.
So while transporting the doll clothes, Ohba Satoru had an idea and improved the plan.
That is to leave fingerprints on the plastic bag in advance in the name of checking the doll clothes.
Not only his own fingerprints, but also those of his subordinates and famous detectives. With his identity as a famous detective, the police cannot doubt him no matter what.
But at this moment, Qin Zhibo's words made Ohba Satoru's heart feel like it was falling into an ice cave.
"Actually, I have a little quirk, that is, I must wipe clean everything I touch."
"Of course, this includes the plastic bag you handed me and the gloves inside."
