"Mr. Police, can we leave?"
In the hall, Ray Katis and the other three found Officer Otaki and wanted to leave.
Lei pointed at the two people behind him, "Both of them said they wanted to go back to the hotel, take a shower and relax."
Officer Otaki still wanted to stop him, "But, in this case..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Hattori Heiji interrupted him, "It's okay, Uncle Otaki."
Officer Otaki looked at him with some confusion, "Huh?"
Hattori Heiji said: "Didn't the three of them show gun smoke reaction?"
Officer Otaki was a little worried, "But, Heiji..."
Hattori Heiji looked at the three of them, "But before that, I have something to ask you three."
Lei was a little surprised, "You have something to ask us for?"
Hattori Heiji nodded, "Yes, Ray, but you have you."
Lei was a little confused, "Me?"
Hattori Heiji explained: "To tell you the truth, there is someone waiting to see you right now. He is in the room where you have been staying just now. I will leave it to you.
That kid is your number one fan! "
Just like that, when Lei Katisi returned to the door, he looked at the things placed at the door with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
"Who are did this! (Who did this!)"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Yes, this method is actually very simple."
Hearing this voice, Lei quickly turned around and looked at the upward stairs.
“In fact, you just need to lock the door of the guest room and open it completely, then remove the transom of the bathroom and take out the mop from there.
In this way, the transom can be placed in a position to turn on the lighting in the room at any time.
Put the wooden pole of the mop between the transom and the switch, empty the transom, and you're done. "
As he spoke, Conan placed a football at his feet, "Next, just kick the prepared football down the stairs."
After that, he kicked the football down, and the football hit the mop impartially. The mop fell to the ground, the transom window pressed the switch, and the lights in the room illuminated instantly.
Only Ray Katis was left standing aside, his expression gloomy and unclear.
"As for the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows, as long as they are opened in advance, from outside the hotel, we will think that you walked into the guest room and turned on the lights.
That's right, Ray. "
Looking at the idol in front of him, Conan said solemnly: "As long as I practice two or three times, even a kid like me can do it. For Ray Catis, who was hailed as the God of Free Kicks by football when he was playing center. , I guess you can do it easily even if you are blindfolded!”
As he spoke, he slowly walked down the stairwell, "Therefore, even if you are standing on the second floor, not only can you easily turn on the lights in the guest room on the first floor, but through this method, you can also turn on the lights in the guest room on the first floor at the same time. The newspaper reporter on the second floor was killed.
But as for you, your alibi for being in the guest room on the first floor has been established. "
Ray Katis looked at the little boy in front of him, and somehow, he suddenly felt a huge pressure.
He pretended to be calm and said: "Little boy, don't joke around."
Conan shook his head, "No, I have already figured out all your plans.
It was originally agreed that the rooms you would be responsible for were the five guest rooms on the two floors below K, and the one you had tampered with in advance was the side room on the first floor that you should arrive at in the second place.
That's the room in front of the stairs. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the room where he had just installed the mechanism.
“After you light the lights in the first room, move to the second room and set your trap there.
Then you walked up the stairs to the second floor with the pistol and football, and turned on all the lights in the third, fourth, and fifth rooms on the second floor.
Of course, the second room cannot be opened. In this way, when Xiaolan sees this situation outside the hotel, she will remind you that the light in the second room has not been turned on.
You will use the wireless intercom to tell her that you will be there soon, and then kick the football down from the stairs on the second floor, and the lights in the second guest room on the first floor will turn on.
You take advantage of this moment and immediately run to kill Ed who is waiting for you on the second floor, then throw the pistol at the scene. Finally, you only need to climb down the stairs again and pretend to be shocked when you hear the gunshots from the window of the second room. , people outside will naturally have the illusion that you are always in the room. "
Conan raised his head and looked at him, "What I said should be right, Lei."
Hearing this, Ray Katis smiled and said, "Very, very good, but little boy, you forgot one thing. There is a mistake in it, that is, after I turned on the light and before I heard the gunshot, Less than three seconds, how could I possibly kill someone in such a short time?
I still have to play football, and I have to knock on the door of Ed’s room. When I wait for Ed to come out and open the door, those three seconds are really..."
Before he could finish speaking, Conan interrupted him rudely, "You didn't knock on the door after playing football, you knocked on the door before playing football.
After knocking on Ed's door, you walked to the stairs and kicked the ball down when he opened the door. Then, as you approached Ed, you used the radio to confirm with Xiaolan that the lights were on. It's not impossible to shoot, even if it's only for three seconds.
Otherwise, just tie a string to that mop and pull it to turn off the light.
In this way, people on the fifth floor can also turn off the lights in the same way.
But the murder scene is on the second floor where you are responsible, so it is absolutely impossible for him to commit the murder without meeting you.
Of course, it was impossible for Mike to open the curtains on the third floor.
In other words, among the three of you, only you, Lei, can commit the crime. "
Ray Katis hurriedly defended: "But boy, if I had fired, wouldn't the gunpowder be..."
Conan shook his head, "The police usually only investigate gun smoke reactions near the collar of the coat, and at most they will check the trousers.
The inside of clothing is rarely checked.
You take off your coat before committing the crime. When you shoot, the gunpowder will only spray on your coat and trousers. You only need to put on your coat before sticking out the window, and then change out of your coat and trousers when you return to the room and wait. Trousers, it is difficult for the police to detect the reaction of gun smoke. "
As he said that, he took out the inflatable needle he found earlier, "That's when you used this needle to deflate the football and then hid it in your shirt!"
I found this in the trash can after you went to the bathroom.
As for the football you deflated, it was discovered by hotel staff under the autograph table. "
Ray Katis couldn't help but said: "But how can you say that I put it there?"
Conan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Ed has already pointed out that the murderer is you.
The posture of the fingers on Ed's right hand is that of eating sushi.
As for the belt on his left hand, it refers to the band. In sushi restaurants, the staff are accustomed to communicating with codes. Among the dishes ordered, the band represents the dish No. 8.
And this hint is the death message that Ed identified you as the murderer, Ray Katis, before he died. "
Hearing this, Ray Katis was shocked and speechless.
However, Conan's reasoning continues.
"I also found that the towel in the bathroom of this guest room was wet. I think it was wet when you washed your face!
Because gunpowder smoke stuck to the skin can be easily washed away with water. "
Conan slowly walked into the guest room, picked up the football on the ground, and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "It's really ironic. Originally, I wanted to prove your innocence. Unexpectedly, the more I investigated, the more I found out that you were the murderer. evidence of."
Ray Katis was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "Oh, boy, this is really a pity for the evidence you just mentioned. None of it is definite and ironclad evidence. This top and trousers are all given to me on a regular basis. The agent is there just in case.
I just took it off because I was sweating. I took it off and washed it immediately.
I think I'm probably still in the hotel laundry department now. "
Conan asked, "What about your shoes?"
Lei was stunned for a moment, "Shoes?"
"Generally speaking, when using an automatic pistol, the smoke will spray out when the cartridge case is ejected. As for a revolver, it will spread out radially from the center of the gun body, and the uppers of the shoes will not be spared.
Lei, you should have been wearing shoes when you committed the crime, otherwise you wouldn't be able to kick the ball accurately.
Since you haven't changed your shoes yet, the gun smoke reaction will inevitably be measured. I think this should be regarded as ironclad evidence. "
"Go and turn yourself in, Ray, I beg you."
Looking at the boy in front of him, Ray Katis laughed and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't surrender. If I am arrested, my fans and family will be very, very sad.
I will follow your advice and clean these shoes, and I will find an excuse to hide it from the police. "
After that, he turned around and left.
