Detective Hakuba did not answer Heiji Hattori's words, he looked at the road ahead and walked towards the warehouse, and said softly, "This evening, when the young lady went out to find you, I walked her to the door, closed the door and turned around to go back to the room. I saw Fei Brother Chi looked out the window with an ugly face, as if there was something scary outside, and he was frightened. I was shocked when I looked at his expression..."
Hattori Heiji was stunned, frowned and asked, "Is there anyone else on this island?"
"Brother Baima wants to say that Brother Chi's mental state is indeed not right, right?" Conan did not avoid the topic.
"I think it's very possible. At that time, I immediately turned my head and looked out the window, but I didn't see anything. Then I looked back and thought about it carefully. Brother Chi had no focus in his eyes at that time, and he didn't seem to be looking out the window," Baima explored, " So I wasn’t sure what he was looking at, what he saw, or whether he had any hallucinations or auditory hallucinations. He didn’t speak after that, so I had no choice but to keep silent and let him stay in a quiet environment to adjust. Although he He said that he was too tired. I told you the same thing when I went downstairs to eat. However, he did not have a good rest the night before, but he insisted on taking a rest alone. Maybe it was not that he was not feeling well, but that he had noticed I realized something was wrong with my mental state..."
"Hey, you don't agree with that guy's reasoning and think Brother Chi is the murderer, right?" Hattori Heiji looked dissatisfied, looking at Hakuba Detective with a bit of disbelief, "Actually, that guy Tokizu's reasoning is simply... …”
"Yes, there are still many doubts that cannot be explained," Bai Ma Tan took over the words in a soft but firm voice, "First of all, Mr. Tsutsumi was tied up before his death. If Brother Chi was not the murderer, where did the rope come from? ? When did Brother Chi prepare it? Where did Brother Chi find the rope? Also, why did he tie up Mr. Hammertail before attacking? He only had more than ten minutes to commit the crime. He tied up a person and then killed and cut off his fingers. , it will take more time. Since we planned to go back to the second floor to clean up the blood on ourselves from the beginning, wouldn’t it be better to commit the murder quickly and go back to the second floor to clean ourselves up..."
Hattori Heiji said in a dull voice, "Also, even if Fei Chi jumped from the window upstairs to commit murder when we were going downstairs, how could he be sure whether Mr. Tsuchio was in the room at that time? And Mr. Tsuchio found out Would it be strange if someone jumped from upstairs to his window? Since the window has not been damaged, then no matter what secret room technique that guy Shijin said, it would not be completed quickly, and if Brother Chi had not been at the window If he made any suspicious moves outside, or asked Mr. Tsuchio to open the window, how could Mr. Tsuchio be suspicious? We were in the restaurant over the corridor at the time, but we didn’t hear any cry for help or anything from Mr. Tsuchio. Questioning, that guy Tokijin made a judgment without even thinking about it, it’s too arbitrary!”
"The third doubt is Mr. Hammertail's finger that was cut off," Conan said seriously, "In this incident, the murderer had very little time to commit the crime, but he still went out of his way to cut off Hammertail's finger. There must be some reason. Although Detective Shijin can say that it was because Brother Chi was suggested by hallucinations and auditory hallucinations that he felt that he should cut off his fingers. In fact, it makes sense to say so, but there is no evidence to prove this speculation. I still think The murderer must have some meaning for doing this."
"Yes, why did you cut off Mr. Tsuchio's fingers?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin in confusion, "And why was it the thumb of his right hand?"
The white horse detective stopped at the door of the warehouse and joined in his thinking, "Speaking of fingers, I will think of the ring on the ring finger which represents the wedding ring..."
Conan was also thinking, "The ring worn on the thumb, whether it is the left or right hand, should symbolize power, wealth and confidence..."
Hattori Heiji: "Does the murderer mean that Mr. Tsuchio has no power, no money, and no self-confidence?"
Hakuba Tan: "As for the meaning of a thumbs up, it generally means praise, indicating that the other person has done well and appreciates, admires or encourages them. However, in the United States, a thumbs up is usually used to express a ride, and in Japan it usually represents the number 5... "
Hattori Heiji: "In Germany, it represents the number 1, and in Australia it means swearing..."
Conan: "In Nigeria, it will be considered an insulting gesture, and in some Middle Eastern countries such as Iran, it will be considered a provocation..."
quiet.
The three of them looked at each other and fell silent.
After a moment, Hattori Heiji coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, it's also possible that the murderer didn't think so much at all. The finger cutting might be for revenge or to create some kind of trick or cover up something."
Conan nodded in approval and added, "However, none of us have fingers that are defective, so it's difficult to judge."
Detective Baima stopped talking and took out the key to open the padlock on the warehouse door. "In short, not only Brother Fei Chi, but also the other three people may have committed the crime..."
"Hey, hey," Hattori Heiji glanced at Hakuba Tan, "Are you still doubting Brother Fei Chi?"
Hakuba looked sideways at Hattori Heiji, his tone still unhurried, "Tokijin-san is right about one thing, detectives cannot let personal feelings influence their reasoning. Except for the three of us and the little lady, the other four people have He is suspected of committing the crime, and he can say with such confidence that Brother Chi is the murderer. We cannot deny that he must have some clues that we don't know about. For detectives, it is not advisable to avoid the facts and be impulsive and reckless. If it’s Brother Chi, I believe he will also name all the people who may have committed the crime, put aside the influence of personal feelings on the judgment, eliminate them one by one, and finally find the truth.”
Hattori Heiji became angry, "You guy..."
"Brother Hakuba, you misunderstood," Conan raised his head and asked Hakuba, "Brother Heiji is not that kind of person!"
Hattori Heiji's expression softened a lot.
It would be better for his little friend to be on his side at this time...
"He's just more easily excited and less willing to admit things he doesn't want to admit!" Conan said with a smile.
Hattori Heiji:"!"
Is this any different from saying that he is reckless and impulsive and evades the facts?
Conan thinks there is a big difference. He knows what kind of person Hattori Heiji is. He talks about "impossible" and "no way". He may even be emotionally excited and say decisive words, which makes him look like he is stubborn. He draws arbitrary conclusions, but Hattori will not escape in his heart, he will do whatever it is, and he will secretly look for evidence if he is not convinced.
He understood this feeling. During the previous incident at the 3k Hotel, he didn't believe that his idol could kill someone, and he said firmly, "No." It was the same this time. He didn't believe that Chi Feichi could kill anyone, either. When Hattori is excited, he can't be excited anymore, and he doesn't have to be excited to express his position.
The most important thing now is to find enough clues and evidence!
"Can't open it, the key isn't here..." Detective Hakuba didn't bother anymore, and didn't want to argue with Hattori Heiji. He tried the keychain in his hand and found that there was no key that could open the warehouse padlock. He took out a key from his pocket. A piece of wire began to poke into the keyhole.
Hattori Heiji didn't know what to say for a moment, "I said you..."
"Because I wanted to find out how the thief opened the lock, I found someone who had knowledge in this area." Bai Ma lowered his head and carefully used the wire to open the lock, and explained without looking up, "This kind of wallet lock is relatively old. Compared with the anti-theft locks in cities now, it is not difficult to open..."
Hattori Heiji has a black line on his head.
He didn't want to know why White Horse Detective learned to open the lock or how he planned to open it, but he felt that...
A detective suddenly took out a piece of wire and started picking the lock. Don't you think the style of the painting is wrong?
"Where did Brother Baima find the wire?" Conan looked at him strangely.
He wouldn't be surprised if Chi Feichi had wire on his body, because Chi Feichi likes to prepare all kinds of things in advance, but wouldn't the White Horse Detective be the same way?
"I found it in the tool box in the room," Baima explored. "There is a tool box in our room, which contains screw cutters, pliers, and wire. Before, Brother Chi didn't talk to me in the room. I opened it and looked at it..."
"Wait, there seems to be a toolbox in our room," Hattori Heiji frowned and thought, "Because there are not many furniture in the room and the layout is simple, it is easy to see. Is there such a toolbox in all rooms?"
As they spoke, the three of them froze, and simultaneously turned to look at the wooden framed window on the first floor of the hotel, with a strange brilliance in their eyes.
Hattori Heiji came back to his senses, with a smile on his lips, "I see, that's why that guy Tokijin speculated that the murderer entered through the window..."
Detective Bai Ma turned back and continued to use a small wire to unlock the door, "Actually, this time, Brother Chi might find the murderer faster than us. If he is the murderer, of course he knows who the murderer is. If he is not the murderer, he needs to suspect There are only three people there, so we don’t need to consider him as the most suspect. Tokijin-san and Koshizui-san can also be the first to confirm or exclude themselves. Their targets only have three people..."
Hattori Heiji and Conan vaguely guessed what Hakuba meant, and looked at each other.
"Click."
The padlock was opened. Bai Ma took off the lock and turned to smile at the two of them. "Since the starting line has lost balance, it wouldn't be too much for the three of us who have absolutely no time to commit the crime to join forces and find out the truth as soon as possible, right?"
…
Hotels, restaurants.
There wasn't much room to search in the living room and dining room, so Hui Yuan Ai followed around and turned to look in the direction of the door with a lack of interest.
She suspected that Detective Hakuba made this arrangement because he wanted to call Hattori and Kudo out to discuss something, so she left people here without a clear alibi.
As for her...
Detective Hakuba probably felt that he needed to leave one person to monitor other people's movements, and also wanted to say something to the two detectives, Kudo and Hattori, so he chose to let her stay. He believed that she could notice some abnormalities. At the same time, if he had to Brother Chi is the murderer. As a younger sister, she can easily stop him when he is not in a good state, such as using a family awakening routine.
In short, Brother Fei Chi will stand on her side, and with Brother Fei Chi's skills, even if someone here suddenly escapes and commits murder, or even if the other three people conspire to murder and have malicious intentions, Brother Fei Chi can easily handle it, and they Don't worry about safety issues.
Well, Detective Baima was very thoughtful, but that guy deliberately avoided Brother Fei Chi. Was it because he was also suspicious of Brother Fei Chi?
Although she wanted to scold Baima Tan in her heart, her reason told her that it was right for Baima Tan to do this.
At that time, Jin Runzai swore that he must have grasped a certain clue, and he also correctly explained some of Fei Chi's symptoms. There was no way to refute this.
And even if they believe that Brother Fei Chi will not be the murderer, it is not convenient to call Brother Fei Chi to investigate at this time, lest people suspect that they are colluding to help Brother Fei Chi.
For the sake of Brother Fei Chi, it is best for the detective team to exclude Brother Fei Chi from the investigation, so that the reasoning and evidence proving Brother Fei Chi's innocence can be convincing.
