Completely contrary to what Kudo Shinichi thought, Kawakami Tsumugi just said "hmm" without interest and did not ask him about the murderer.
This made Kudo Shinichi inexplicably unhappy, but he took the initiative to inform and seemed a bit at a disadvantage.
Looking at Kawakami Tsumugi's character...this guy should already know who the murderer is, Kudo Shinichi thought.
They waited for twenty-one minutes. Out of boredom, Tsumugi Kawakami ate half a bag of lemon candies, played a few games of Xiaomi, looked at the invention given to him by Dr. Agasa, and explained it cheerfully. Try it politely.
In the end, I did not forget to exchange some strange words with Matsuda Jinpei. Kudo Shinichi was sandwiched between the two, his face full of black lines as he listened to the two quarreling like elementary school students.
"Exactly what I thought, saxitoxin."
After getting the drug test report brought back by the police, Kudo Shinichi put on a smile that was sure of victory, and he walked among the people with his head held high.
"I know who the murderer is!"
"What? Brother Kudo, who is it?"
Officer Megure's face was filled with expected surprise. The surprise was because the murderer had been found, and it was expected because he knew that Kudo Shinichi would definitely be able to find the murderer.
...Kawakami Tsumugi discovered that even the search class has a talent for being praised. No wonder the detectives like to cooperate with the police so much.
"You are the murderer! Mr. Minghui in the backlight!" the little detective shouted.
"What? I'm not-"
Houdeng Minghui refuted quickly, but at this time, Kudou Shinichi's reasoning was already going on, as if he had typed it hundreds of times:
"Mr. Xin Mulong was infected with a biological toxin that is difficult to obtain. And among the people present, you are the only one who has ever worked in a biological research institute and has the channels and conditions to obtain that kind of toxin."
The little detective paused, with a strange expression on his face, because he suddenly felt that he looked like Kogoro Mouri who was talking nonsense, but he continued,
"As Mr. Kawakami said before, you might first cause chaos on the stage and attract everyone's attention, and then naturally take Mr. Araki to the waiting room and secretly insert the poisonous needle into Araki. On Mr. Long, am I right, Mr. Backlight?”
Hou Deng Minghui's face turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He looked like he had committed a crime and was discovered later. According to the process, he should be next -
"If you plan to kneel on the ground and cry bitterly to tell your story of how you committed the crime, you can skip this step, Mr. Jundeng."
Kawakamiji lazily interjected,
"After all, being a murderer is not a good identity. Why should I replace him?"
"That's right. Why do you want to replace the murderer?"
Kudo Shinichi also had a serious look on his face. He glanced at Tsumugi Kawakami who was secretly eating lemon candy. Just as he thought, this guy also deduced who the real murderer was.
Damn it, this reversal of reasoning is the most critical, Kawakami Tsumugi steals his limelight again!
"Your behavior just shows that you are not a murderer. I didn't tell you any details when I identified you before: the poisonous needle that poisoned Mr. Araki to death was very thin and penetrated Mr. Araki's suit, and it was so thin at the same time It’s not easy to break a poisonous needle and penetrate clothes.”
Kudo Shinichi made a penetrating gesture,
"The poisonous needle was fixed on the suit using a special technique, rather than inserted directly. This is inconsistent with the statement I just made about identifying you, but you have no intention of refuting it."
"So, the real way the murderer committed the crime was to fix the poison needle on Xin Mulong's clothes in advance. After Xin Mulong put on his clothes, the poison needle would have a certain effect when he did certain exercises. There is a probability that it will be inserted into the skin...for example, when you sit down, your clothes will be tight."
In fact, not only did he sit down, but his clothes would also become tight when he fell to the ground and got up. It must be his luck that he didn't get pricked by the poisonous needle on stage...
Kawakami thought, otherwise it would be even more unclear if the guy died right in front of him.
"Well, although I didn't see the scene, let me make a guess..." Tsumugi Kawakami whispered from the side, "Not only was the poisonous needle not temporarily inserted with external force, there should be traces of it being pulled out. "
"That's right." Kudo Shinichi confirmed Kawakami's guess.
Tsuyoshi Kawakami added:
"If it was to replace the crime, it would be more convincing to pull out the poisonous needle, hide it on yourself, and then be caught. Mr. Jundeng should have tried to take away the poisonous needle, but failed."
"To be honest, knowing it so clearly, I have some doubts that the murderer is actually you, Mr. Kawakami." Matsuda Jinping said suddenly.
"It's just reasoning." The gray-haired young man's smile became hypocritical again, "You have handled so many cases with the help of detectives, so you should be able to understand my keenness."
Kawakami takes the word "assistance" very seriously and is full of irony.
"It turns out that Mr. Kawakami can reason so much without seeing the scene."
"Kudo has seen the scene, which is equivalent to me seeing the scene." Kawakami shrugged, "The little detective's facial micro-expressions are almost as easy to interpret as you."
"Like me?" Matsuda Jinpei asked softly.
Before they could argue, Jundeng Minghui was stunned by Kudou Shinichi's sudden reversal of identification.
"No, I am the murderer."
Jundeng Minghui said slowly,
"Since I joined the company, this guy Xinmu has been humiliating me in all aspects. I have already thought about killing him... The reason I didn't refute is because I was in a panic and didn't pay attention to what you said specifically."
Such a logical rebuttal does not look like a panic. Kawakamiji thought silently.
"You want to kill Mr. Araki, I believe this." Kudo Shinichi said, "Before, I only said that Mr. Araki was pricked by a poison needle, but you could blurt out that the poison room was on your clothes, and that the poison was There are also signs of the needle being pulled out, which all prove one thing, you are an accomplice."
"An accomplice means that you clearly discovered it but acquiesced in it. Moreover, you probably knew who the real murderer was, and you had the idea of replacing him and did it."
If Jun Deng Minghui had made an agreement with the murderer from the beginning to plead guilty on his behalf, it would have been impossible not to know the details of the murder.
"Actually, your behavior has always been very strange, Mr. Shun Deng. Before, you were eager to throw the identity of the murderer on Kawakami Tsumugi. Your eagerness was suspicious."
"At the same time, after the police arrived, a normal reporter would definitely have doubts when he saw that the murderer he believed knew the police, but you were surprisingly calm."
"Your performance is contradictory in detail, but if you had the idea of replacing the murderer from the beginning, your strange actions can be understood."
Jundeng Minghui remained silent, lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.
"From this point of view, the real murderer is actually easy to find. All we need to do is get Mr. Jundeng to speak."
Kawakami Tsumugi still didn't quarrel with Matsuda Jinpei. He evaluated the development of the matter.
"Let Mr. Jundong Minghui speak, and you should be able to find a solution."
Is there anything they can do to torture him? Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes.
He could almost feel the badness beneath Kawakami's appearance. This criminal must have sensed that he knew something was wrong with him.
But Tsumugi Kawakami didn't mean to panic or strike first. Instead, he deliberately revealed his true identity in very small details.
Including the imitation pistol that fell on the ground before, and the conversation just now, Kawakami used specious words to instigate him to play cards. And because of the relationship between Jingguang and Zero, it was impossible for Matsuda Jinpei to press forward step by step.
In a nutshell. As arrogant as he is, Tsuyoshi Kawakami seemed certain that the police would never discover his true identity.
"Actually, the murderer is still among these people." Kudo Shinichi was not satisfied with not finding the murderer on the spot. "Since he could have tampered with Mr. Araki's clothes from the beginning, the murderer should be a personal assistant or something like that."
"Furthermore, following the investigation through the interpersonal network, since Jun Deng Minghui has made the decision to cover up, it means that the murderer must still be within his network."
"There is another person present who meets these two points, and that is you, Miss Ishikawa Miho."
