As the closet door opened, a man walked out.
That person is the suspect Aishiro Takehiko who has disappeared since the death of Tatsuo, and it is also Takehiro Tsutomoto who just entered the Yomoto family yesterday.
"Xiaowu, please explain to everyone why you are hiding from everyone." Conan hid in front of Mouri Kogoro and said in Moori Kogoro's voice.
"..." After Xiao Wu was silent for a while, he began to tell the series of events from his point of view intermittently. "It was about the time when Xia Jiang saw Long Nan's body and screamed... When I heard Xia Jiang's scream, I thought something had happened to her... I sat up from the bed and went out to check... But when I rushed to the deck When I arrived, I saw everyone gathered around Long Nan’s body..."
At that time, Mariko happened to be yelling, insisting that it was Xiaowu who did it.
"I was afraid that I would be framed as the murderer of Long Nan again, so I had to escape back to the cabin... It happened that Qiujiang's room door was open, so I ran in..."
"I've been hiding in the closet since then..."
"Xiao Wu..." Xia Jiang was so distressed that he almost cried when the person he loved deeply was forced to be like this. The saddest thing is that I was still shaken at that time.
Without Mouri Kogoro's words, these people on the ship would not listen to Xiaowu's words at all. Now that Xiaowu's narration has stopped, and coupled with Maori Kogoro's previous inferences, at least Mariko and Shoji Subamoto somewhat believe that Xiaowu is not the murderer.
But if it weren't for Xiao Wu...
"Who is it! Why do you have to attack Ichiro?!"
"Because the murderer has ulterior motives..." Conan replied in the voice of Mouri Kogoro.
"You have ulterior motives..."
"Because at that time, I made the inference that the murderer wanted to attack the entire Yiben family, and this inference was directed at Xiao Wu. However, every time I inferred that the murderer was Xiao Wu, I would find many doubts..."
In fact, Conan really wanted to say that every time he questioned Xiao Wu, Shiraijiu would jump out and give a strong rebuttal, so that although everyone believed that the murderer was Xiao Wu, they were still not sure.
But it would be too conspicuous to say that Bai Jingjiu was too conspicuous. It would be better for them to keep a low profile and solve the case. So in desperation, Conan had to use a euphemism.
But Shiraijiu just felt that Conan was deceiving himself, because even if he didn't name him by name, when he said this, who was not thinking about the scene when Shiraijiu retorted?
Conan doesn't care, Conan will continue to reason for everyone.
"Even in the restaurant, Qiujiang randomly identified the murderer. This operation also affected him and made him panic. So, fortunately, he followed my ideas and painstakingly came up with a strategy to exonerate himself - —This strategy is to take advantage of the power outage and assassinate Ichiro in the dark."
"However, the murderer never thought that doing so would be tantamount to digging his own grave!"
"..." Everyone was completely immersed in Moori Kogoro's wonderful reasoning.
"Ichiro, please repeat your testimony after the assassination..."
"Uh..." Ichiro Tsutomoto was suddenly named. After a slight pause, he repeated his testimony smoothly, as if he was an endorsement, "It was too dark at the time to clearly see the murderer's appearance and body shape, and he didn't even look at it. To something that shines...that's it..."
"According to your statement, the murderer shouldn't be able to see you... It should be difficult for the murderer to kill you when he can't see his fingers! But he can accurately find your location and stab you..."
"Moreover, unlike the previous two incidents, the murderer did not take the murder weapon away, but left it at the scene..."
"No, perhaps it should be said that there is no way to take him away because his legs and hands cannot move..."
When Mouri Kogoro said this, he made it clear. Everyone reacted and looked at the only injured person at the scene.
"Is it difficult to..."
"Yes, the perpetrator...is Ichiro himself!"
"The murder cases of Mr. Haozang and Long Nan are also the work of Ichiro!"
Everyone:? ! ! !
Bai Jingjiu breathed a sigh of relief. This guy finally revealed the murderer. In fact, the easiest thing is to just say that it was not only Ryuuo who saw Ichiro Emoto throwing the knife on the deck, but also Shirai Ku.
But...this can't explain why she, a little girl, didn't sleep in the middle of the night and had to hide on the deck in advance. It was as if she knew in advance that the murderer was coming to throw the knife. This is too abnormal and not very scientific.
"That's just your conjecture! What evidence do you have to prove that Ichiro is the murderer!!" Mariko quit. Even though Ichiro looked ugly at this time, he unusually did not refute, and his guilty conscience was clear, but Mariko still He defended himself in front of his child and defended him.
But Conan is not afraid of this. The reason why he had been running around with the adults in the second half of the night was because he had been looking for evidence, strong, direct evidence.
Conan put the handkerchief wrapped with evidence into Mori Kogoro's hand, then raised his hand and spread the handkerchief on the table, revealing the bread crumbs inside.
He had picked up the bread crumbs from the beginning, and since only Shoji Shoji had the knife, he was more suspicious at first that it was Shoji Shoji. It was not until later that he finally figured out how the charcoal on the bread crumbs came about. thing.
"Ichiro studied art, and just before Mr. Ichimoto was killed, he was still drawing with charcoal on the deck. When drawing with charcoal, he often used bread to modify the pictures. Therefore, it is inevitable that some bread crumbs will fall in when drawing. cuff……"
"So, it is very likely that these bread crumbs fell out of Ichiro's sleeves in disbelief when he committed the murder."
"Besides, there is some charcoal on these bread crumbs..."
"It's impossible..." Mariko Tsutomoto wanted to refute. She thought of Xiao Wu's example, "Someone must have deliberately framed Ichiro..."
"No, it's impossible." Mouri Kogoro, who had his back to her, broke her illusion mercilessly, "I once said that after the old man was stabbed, he immediately locked the door. At that moment, the murderer There’s no time for tricks.”
"In other words, the breadcrumbs were not evidence left intentionally by the murderer, but were accidentally dropped during the murder!"
"What's the motive? Ichiro has no reason to kill his grandfather!" Mariko still struggled.
"The motive... this is it!" In order to be sure, Conan ran all night long, not afraid of any difficulties from Mariko, and vowed to convince the murderer.
Conan repeated his old trick and took out Ichiro's drawing board and stood on the table.
"Is this related to motivation?"
"The problem lies in the content of the painting."
"Content..." Qiujiang came over and took the drawing board, completely ignoring Conan who was huddled under the table. Instead, he and Mariko paid attention to the content of the painting.
And the protagonist of every painting in it is Xia Jiang!
Now, it can be said that the secret in Ichiro's heart has been revealed to the public. He has a crush on his cousin and so on... Shirai Jiu looked at Ichiro who was sweating crazily and his face was pale, and felt a little emotional.
If Mariko Tsutomoto hadn't been aggressive, maybe this child wouldn't have to face this kind of thing, right? This is simply a large-scale social death scene. How can we behave in the future?
Wait, she doesn't know much about Japanese laws. Does a person like Ichiro Ichimoto, who already has two lives in his hands, need to think about how to behave in the future?
The kind of person who directly killed his grandfather because he disagreed with his marriage to Xia Jiang... the person who didn't hesitate to kill his brother-in-law just because he saw him throwing the knife... who could still think calmly afterwards. The person who got away with it himself and perfectly framed the blame on his brother-in-law...can he still be considered a human being?
Looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, holding the drawing board and shouting "never forgive", Baijiu's heart was still unmoved, and he even had the urge to send him to his death.
In the corridor outside Qiujiang's room, there was a red light flashing under an indicator light.
At the same time, on the other side of the coast in Tokyo, on the coffee table in front of Gin, Ichiro's desperate cry came from the black headphones. Opposite him, a "smiling" young man was wearing a godfather's black robe. His face was expressionless, and his whole body exuded a cold chill.
Gin also released his murderous intent, grinning ferociously.
