"Huh? What do you mean? Waiting for someone?"
Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.
Kasuga Ling took a step forward and glanced at the others, "If you say so, if the prisoner wants to complete this technique, it will take at least 5 to 6 minutes.
The time of death of the deceased was within 30 minutes from 3:30 to 4:00, so Mrs. Tsujimura who went out could be excluded, as well as the housekeeper who had been chatting with the neighbors at the gate.
Although Ms. Katsuragi and Mr. Tsujimura had gone to the second floor, they only had more than ten minutes at most to clear out.
There is only one person left, and that is the old gentleman. Right, Osaka Black Tan? "
Speaking of this, Chun Riling's eyes flashed with a bit of a smile.
Hattori Heiji was slightly startled, and then a look of helplessness appeared on his lips.
"It seems that you do have some strength. Yes, the prisoner is this old man. The evidence is that I just found this fishing line used to tie the iron needle in the living room next to the study."
Hattori Heiji took out the thread from his pocket and showed it to everyone.
"This kind of line is a special fishing line with the strongest endurance and the thinnest quality. If you know how to fish, you shouldn't say you don't know, right?
And I still remember that when Mrs. Tsujimura took us to the second floor to go to the study, I met you on the stairs.
In other words, if you went to the Japanese room after committing the crime, you must have thought that you had done everything perfectly.
But I found this fishing line in the trash can in the Japanese room, which is the most ironclad evidence! How about it? Is it this way! "
Hattori Heiji looked directly at him.
After listening to Hattori Heiji's reasoning, the expression on the old man Tsujimura's face kept changing, and his eyes were full of complex expressions.
There was silence for a while.
He sighed: "Yes, I did it. The person who killed my son Axun was indeed me, and I killed him."
Seeing him admit it, everyone looked at him in surprise.
Hattori Heiji's face smiled even more.
I won!
At this moment, two people retorted at the same time.
"No, you didn't kill anyone at all (the murderer was not him)!"
The other party admitted that he had killed someone and could still refute it, so everyone turned around curiously.
As soon as he turned around, he realized that it was Kudo Shinichi standing at the door.
"Kudo!" Officer Megure's eyes lit up.
Xiaolan also stared at Kudo blankly and murmured: "Shinichi..."
A smile appeared on Kudo Shinichi's face and his eyes were on Kasuga Ling.
"Sure enough, you also know the truth, that's right."
Chun Riling shrugged, pretending to be helpless but with a playful smile.
"Allah, Kudo, since you're here, it's up to you to explain it to them. I'll leave the stage to you."
Hattori Heiji looked at the two people talking and couldn't help but look a little nervous.
Kudo Shinichi? Is this guy Kudo Shinichi?
"You just said that this old gentleman was lying. Are you saying that my reasoning is wrong?"
Kudo Shinichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and slowly walked in from the door.
"Wait for me, Lan."
Hearing this, Xiaolan was a little at a loss, and suddenly found that Kudo Shinichi was sweating a lot on his face, and he looked extremely weak.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Kudo Shinichi turned around and smiled softly at Xiaolan.
Hattori Heiji was a little panicked. Looking at the smiles on the faces of Kasuga Ling and Kudou Shinichi, he felt more and more that his reasoning was wrong.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and asked anxiously towards Kudo Shinichi: "Kudou Shinichi, please tell me where my reasoning is wrong!"
Kudo Shinichi said with great confidence.
"The idea you just had is just an idea on paper. It cannot be achieved in real life."
Hattori Heiji was startled, "How is that possible?"
Officer Megure couldn't help but stand up and speak for Hattori.
"Hey Kudo brother, I want to interrupt here first. The technique he used just now was perfect, and he also experimented with my pants..."
Kasuga Ling couldn't wait any longer, so she interrupted Officer Megure's words.
"Officer Megure, please check your pocket now. Are the keys really inside?"
Hearing Kasuga Rei's words, Officer Megure was slightly startled before he could react. Hattori Heiji began to search his pockets.
"It must have gone in!"
He was a little nervous.
As Hattori Heiji turned his pocket inside out, the keys fell to the ground with a clink.
His pupils shrank suddenly and his expression changed.
"This...how is this possible! I clearly let the thread pass through the double pocket!"
Kudo Shinichi explained softly, "Maybe it's because Officer Megure is sitting down."
"What?" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have caught something in his mind.
Kudo Shinichi continued to speak slowly.
“Because Officer Megure is sitting, there are wrinkles in the pocket that block the passage of the key into the pocket.
The fishing line will be pulled out of the tape before the key actually enters the double pocket.
Moreover, the victim was fatter than Officer Megure, which made the situation even more obvious. "
Hearing this, Officer Memu touched his chin thoughtfully, "So, I remember when I put my hand in the deceased's pocket, it was bulging inside."
Hattori Heiji now knew that his reasoning was unrealistic, but he still couldn't help but forcefully explain.
"This is probably just in case, no, there will be at least... one coincidence out of ten times..."
"Hattori, you still don't understand. It's impossible to do it a few more times. The direction of putting the key into the double-layered pocket with fishing line is different from that of putting it in manually."
Chun Riling curled her lips and said.
"Direction?" Hattori Heiji fell into thinking.
"That's right." Kudo nodded, "Even if the key does get into the double pocket, it should only be the key ring.
Because in the narrow double-layer pocket, the key ring and keys. It is absolutely impossible to fold it into a seven-figure shape, but the keys and key ring are both placed inside.
This shows that the prisoner put the key in the deceased's pocket from the beginning. "
Hattori Heiji was a little afraid to admit it, so he quickly took out the fishing line from his pocket.
"Then tell me, how do you explain the fishing line I found in the Japanese room?"
Kudo Shinichi looked back at the old man.
"This is just the criminal's method to pin the blame on this old gentleman. In other rooms, I also found 5 or 6 sets of the same fishing line.
This kind of thing is everywhere in this house, and the prisoner even designed it in places other than the Japanese room, so it doesn't matter where the old gentleman was at the time of the crime. "
"But, this old gentleman just admitted that he is the prisoner." Hattori Heiji expressed his doubts.
"That's because this old gentleman took the initiative to jump into the trap set by the prisoner. As for the reason, it depends on him."
Kudo Shinichi said calmly, then looked back at him.
Hattori Heiji is now completely convinced, and his tone has softened a bit.
"But this study is completely a secret room. Do you want to say that the deceased committed suicide?"
