Conan had a feeling in his heart that perhaps before he and Karasuma Ying, Shimizu Shizu, Suzuki Ayako's fiancé, had already locked in the identity of the murderer in advance.
Now that I think about it carefully, from the time everyone became aware of the existence of the bandage weirdo, Qing Shuijing showed several things that were suspicious.
First of all, when Sonoko ran back to the villa to inform the bandage monster, when he learned that the bandage monster was escaping in the direction of the villa, he immediately confirmed from the window that the only safe way to leave here was the suspension bridge. Condition.
Under normal circumstances, when the average person is in that kind of environment, their first reaction should be fear and suspicion. It is almost impossible for anyone to confirm the safety of the suspension bridge at that time.
This is so illogical and unreasonable, but Qing Shuijing just did it.
And here, Qing Shuijing also inadvertently revealed his super vision that is far beyond ordinary people.
Immediately, after confirming that the suspension bridge was artificially cut off, Qing Shuijing immediately asked Suzuki Ayako to call the police, trying to get the police to handle the matter.
However, the phone line at this time had already been cut off by Takahashi Ryoichi.
Conan estimated that it was at this time that Qing Shuijing was completely sure that the mysterious bandage weirdo was coming for the people in the villa.
However, he still doesn't know who it is, is it one of them? Or is it everyone?
So, Qing Shuijing made a bold and cruel attempt.
He first calmed down Ryoichi Takahashi who wanted to deliberately spread panic. When it was determined that the target of the bandage weirdo was everyone in the villa, he deliberately did not take any precautionary measures and even deliberately downplayed the degree of crisis in his words, leaving everyone in the dark. Continue to feel free to go your own way.
Because at this time, Qing Shui Jing was still not sure whether the real identity of the bandage weirdo was someone from outside or someone pretending to be someone in the villa.
Therefore, his actions were actually creating opportunities for the murderer. He was waiting for the murderer to commit another attack in order to identify the murderer's true identity.
He was very confident in himself. He believed that no matter whether the murderer was someone outside or in the villa, as long as the murderer committed another crime, he would be able to find out the true identity of the murderer from clues.
And he did.
Not long afterward, Takahashi Ryoichi found an opportunity and killed Chikako Ikeda in the woods.
During this period, probably out of protection for Suzuki Ayako, Qing Shuijing never let Suzuki Ayako leave his sight throughout the whole process.
After that, what everyone saw in the living room was the scene where Takahashi Ryoichi used a dummy to create a "bandage monster kidnapping and killing Chikako Ikeda" on the second floor.
Conan remembers this process very clearly.
First, Ryoichi Takahashi yelled on the second floor. Among the people in the living room on the first floor, Shimizu Shizu was the first to react. He was also the first to see the scene outside the window.
However, he, who was also looking for the true identity of the murderer, was still sitting on the chair with a faint smile on his face and did not follow the crowd to chase him out.
Conan didn't understand it then, but he understands it now.
Because it was at this moment that Qing Shuijing determined that the bandage weirdo was actually someone in the villa pretending to be someone in the villa, and directly locked the true identity of the bandage weirdo on Takahashi Ryoichi!
The smile on his face at that time was actually the smile he showed after identifying the murderer!
The reason is simple, because Qing Shuijing has super eyesight!
When the Bandage Man's dummy was controlled by a thin steel wire and floated past the window, and when everyone thought it was the real Bandage Man and chased him out, Qing Shuijing could clearly see the thin steel wire hanging behind the dummy at a glance. !
The entire details and operation of the dummy mechanism were immediately deduced, and the identity of Ryoichi Takahashi's murderer was determined.
Because among everyone present, only Ryoichi Takahashi, who worked as a prop master in college, had the technical level to complete this series of mechanisms. At the same time, he was the only one on the second floor at that time, and he was the only one with the necessary space to control the dummy. and time conditions for people.
Conan could even guess that when they all chased into the woods, Qing Shuijing in the villa must have gone to the balcony on the second floor to look for the traces left by Takahashi Ryoichi's manipulation of the bandage dummy.
At this point, except for picking up Chikako Ikeda's necklace at the back entrance, Qing Shuijing stopped all active actions.
Qing Shuijing did not expose Takahashi Ryoichi, nor did he stop him and sister Xiaoying from investigating. He just stood there silently, standing next to Suzuki Ayako, quietly watching everything that happened in the villa.
And when Sister Xiaoying and his reasoning came to the end, she helped them fill in the last piece of the puzzle.
Why?
Qing Shuijing...what are you thinking about?
Although Conan did not have any evidence for the above reasoning about Qing Shuijing, he just felt that his reasoning was correct.
Asking is intuition.
Judging from this incident alone, this person has extremely strong reasoning ability and keen insight, and has super vision that is far beyond ordinary people. These points alone are enough to reveal his specialness.
He is definitely not an ordinary person.
What worries Conan even more is Qing Shuijing's cold-blooded disregard for life.
In order to reveal the true identity of the bandage monster, he could deliberately put the lives of everyone in the villa in danger...
Of course...it's also possible that he is overthinking.
Maybe Shimizu Jing was really unaware of the development of the incident throughout the whole process, maybe he was just Miss Ayako's ordinary fiancé, or maybe...
He does have a very special identity.
"..."
In Tokyo, Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who has changed his appearance, is entrusting Kogoro Mori to investigate a matter.
"Then, I leave everything to you, Detective Mori."
Shirakawa Kiyo stood up from the sofa and bowed slightly to Mouri Kogoro who was sitting opposite. Moori Kogoro stood up quickly when he saw this.
"Where is it! Miss Chris, you are willing to come to a little detective like me for help, that is my honor! Hahahaha..."
That's right, Chrissy.
Chrissy Wynyard, this is the person Shirakawa Qing is disguised as this time.
When I heard from Ireland that the "shrunken high school detective" was now staying at Mouri Kogoro's house as an elementary school student, Shirakawa Kiyoshi thought that he should come over to see the situation.
Of course, he couldn't face his original face, because Mouri Kogoro had seen his face before.
That was the first year that Kogoro Mori entered the police academy, and it was also the last year that Kiyoshi Shirakawa served in the Metropolitan Police Department.
At that time, he heard that among the freshmen at the police academy, there was a perfect marksman who hit red hearts with all twenty bullets, directly tying his original shooting record, so he went to check it out out of curiosity.
That's it.
After that, although Shirakawa Kiyo also met Mouri Kogoro a few times, he was no longer Shirakawa Kiyo at that time...
Therefore, although the possibility of being recognized by Mouri Kogoro was extremely small, Shirakawa Kiyoshi still cautiously decided to disguise himself before going to the Moori Detective Agency.
There is no way, in this world, there are still many people who are desperately trying to find him...
The target of Shirakawa's disguise is Chrissy Wynyard, the daughter of Sharon Wynyard, a famous American actress.
By the way, Chrissy Wynyard is also Belmod's vest, he only borrowed it temporarily.
Because based on Shirakawa Kiyoshi's understanding of Mouri Kogoro, the combination of female star + good looks would definitely be a critical blow to this confused detective.
As long as he pretends to cry a few tears and complain about the cheating behavior of his "boyfriend" who came to Japan for vacation with him, he can immediately coax Mouri Kogoro into a circle.
Of course, Bai Heqing doesn't have a boyfriend, and he didn't really come to commission the Maori investigation.
He's here to get information.
"Oh - that's strange, Mr. Mori, are you the only one in your office?"
Shirakawa Kiyo looked around, as if he had just realized that only Mouri Kogoro was receiving him in the entire office.
