Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Officer Kinoshita thought about it and nodded, "It seems that's right."

"Miss Ozawa chose to commit suicide by wrapping the wire hanging on the hook of the shower head around her neck, leaning her back against the wall, sitting down and hanging herself to death. You also said that Miss Ozawa has no signs of struggle. Then, from From this point of view, she went to die resolutely and calmly, and she didn't even have any regrets in the process of implementing the plan," Chi Feichi said in a soft and calm voice, "If this is the case, she may be like you said, in order to go Decent, cleaned up calmly, but a person who chooses to kill himself after careful consideration has already decided to leave this world. Mood, suddenly can't think about it', that is still a psychological process that belongs to impulsive suicide... In this way, you should have discovered it, let's not look at the traces left at the scene and the suicide note, etc., just the reason for Ms. Ozawa's suicide , The reason is compared with the behavior pattern, there are many contradictions in the process of her suicide."

The two basic reasons correspond to two different psychological processes and action processes.

Depending on the specific reasons and individual personalities, people will make different choices in the process of having an idea, formulating a plan, and implementing the plan, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents, coincidences and other unstable factors, which will eventually lead to different situations. In any case, there is absolutely no possibility of repeatedly jumping across the two modes.

That is to say, a person will not commit suicide decisively after deliberation, but also commit suicide impulsively. This is an irreconcilable contradiction, corresponding to different psychological levels.

If this happens, then there is a problem with the event.

"It's strange to say that, but could it be because of sleeping pills?" Seeing Chi Feichi looking at him, police officer Kinoshita scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't make it clear just now, but the forensic doctor actually detected sleeping pills in her body." In terms of ingredients, I was wondering if she had avoided the possibility of regret when she was making the plan, taking sleeping pills before choosing to hang herself, so that even if she regretted it, she would not be able to save herself..."

Conan suddenly remembered something, "Officer Kinoshita, I remember Brother Chi asked you before, did Miss Ozawa have any signs of struggle, such as trying to untie the wire or trying to stand up, you said that there is no such thing Traces, right?"

"Yeah, the forensic doctor said that if she was tied up, tried to stand up, or struggled to untie the traces of the wire, it could also be seen from the traces on the corpse and the conditions around the corpse," Officer Kinoshita said, also aware that something was wrong , due to thinking, the speed of speaking slowed down a lot, "But no, Miss Ozawa has never struggled..."

"Miss Ozawa didn't even struggle when facing death. She really took a lot of sleeping pills," Conan said in a child's tone, but his eyes were full of determination. It is also a detective's instinct to let the criminal department intervene and investigate it as a homicide, doubt all the possibilities, and then use the clues in hand to rule out the impossibility. "There is no trace of struggle, that is to say, she When I went to the bathroom, I must have been very unconscious, but I was able to tighten the wire and successfully hang myself, it is really strange!"

Chi Feichi picked up the photo album on the table, and when he turned to one of the pages, he touched the page with his gloved hands, twisted the powder on his fingers, took out a large evidence bag from his pocket, and opened the The photo album is loaded directly into it.

Officer Kinoshita noticed Chi Feichi's actions and asked curiously, "Mr. Chi, is there something wrong with this photo album?"

"Beside the photo on the entrance cabinet, there are some strange small white spots, and there are also some on the desktop next to this photo album." Chi Feichi handed the photo album in the evidence bag to Conan, "That photo should be from this photo album. It was taken from the page of the album, and there are still traces of photos of the same size pasted on the album for a long time, and those small white spots have not been cleaned or blown away by the wind, indicating that the time left is not long, probably no more than 24 hours , and this page of the album also has the same powder left..."

"Is it flour?" Conan observed the white powder falling off the page of the photo album through the transparent evidence bag, and felt that the little friend who became serious was really careful, and gently twisted it with his hands through the bag, "It's not Too much like..."

"It doesn't smell, but it has a fine grainy feel when you twist it. Judging from the color and touch, it should be a starch product such as sweet potato flour." Chi Feichi looked at Etsuko Aikawa standing in front of the calendar, his voice still soft and soft. Calm, "In addition to sprinkled on cooking, it is also often used to make Japanese desserts such as wagashi and Daifuku. Of course, if you want accurate results, you still need to wait for the forensics department to test."

Conan looked at Etsuko Aikawa, who was clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands, and continued to pretend to be a child, pressing secretly, "Miss Boss, you often use this when making wagashi, right?"

His little friend is a master of cooking, making handmade noodles and noodle cakes is not a problem, and he is not usually a person who jumps to conclusions, even if it is an inaccurate result that has not been verified, but if he says it, it means that his little friend At least 80% sure.

Aikawa Etsuko lowered her head, seemed to be hesitating whether to say something, and seemed to be resisting the answer with silence.

"Officer Kinoshita, please find the man in the photo with Ms. Ozawa," Chi Feichi said to Officer Kinoshita, and then said to Etsuko Aikawa, "While waiting for the police from the criminal department to arrive, Ms. Aikawa Think about how to explain your doubts."

Etsuko Aikawa raised her eyes to look at Conan and Chi Feichi, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I came here this morning. After I found Wen Zhi's body, I put the photos in the album into photo frames and put them in a frame. When I got to the cabinet in the entrance hall, I wrote down today's itinerary to see a dentist on her calendar, and I didn't see any suspicious men, I was lying..."

"Why did you do this?" Officer Kinoshita asked, "Could it be that this incident is..."

"No, Officer Kinoshita, Mr. Chi, Wenzhi's death is inextricably related to that man!" Etsuko Aikawa explained eagerly, "Wenzhi will tell me everything, including her relationship with that man named Shimizu, including that man. The man guided her how to embezzle public funds. She made an appointment with me today and asked me to accompany her to the police station to surrender. I also helped her raise five million yen, hoping to reduce her punishment. How could it be possible for the person who was fully confessed by the police to commit suicide suddenly? It must be the man named Qing Shui who killed her! I...I just want the case not to end as a suicide, so I did these things."

Conan bowed his head in thought.

If the proprietress is the murderer, it would be the best outcome for this incident to end with suicide.

Even if you want to put the blame on the man in the photo, there is no need to lead the police to step up investigation after leaving so many traces at the scene and set yourself on fire.

Moreover, there is no contradiction in the proprietress's words before and after, and her behavior is also logical...

Police officer Kinoshita didn't rashly accuse the proprietress of being suspicious any more, and asked Chi Feichi with his mobile phone, "Mr. Chi, should I call the man in the photo?"

Chi Feichi nodded, "Thank you."

Not only is the proprietress's rhetoric logical, but Fumie Ozawa's character he speculates is indeed easy to be led to embezzle public funds because of over-reliance on his lover.

In other words, the man in the photo is the key person, either the murderer or some clues.

"Also, the director Shimizu who Miss Ozawa sent the suicide note to," Conan reminded, "has the same surname as the gentleman in the photo, it's best to contact him too."

Chi Feichi walked to the bathroom, ready to see the place where Fumie Ozawa committed suicide.

Of course, the most important place on the scene must be saved until the end.

Seeing that police officer Kinoshita was on the phone looking for the man in the photo, Conan quietly followed Chi Feichi into the bathroom.

There is no trace of fixing wire in the bathroom, but there is only one shower head, which is hung on a hook on the wall, and a piece of iron wire that has been twisted and cut into a ring is wrapped around the hook.

Below is a wooden bathtub cover, which should be the place where Fumie Ozawa died.

Conan looked at the wooden cover of the bathtub, "There is indeed no sign of struggle...Huh?"

Chi Feichi also saw the reflective object next to the wooden cover of the bathtub, and squatted down to observe, "Fish scales."

Conan squatted down beside Chi Feichi, looking at the fish scales that had fallen near the drain, "How could this kind of thing be here?"

Foodstuff stores and aquatic product stores in Japan will help clean up the fish. Few people kill fish at home, and if they are brought back from fishing and cleaned up for use in fish dishes, the fish scales should fall in the kitchen, not the bathroom.

"There is no camera here, don't touch it," Chi Feichi stopped Conan who was about to reach for the fish scales, stood up, and looked at the wire on the hook, "Use the incubator for fish to bring large ice cubes... "

"Put the ice cubes under the wooden board cover, then let the unconscious Miss Ozawa sit on the wooden board, and hang the wire around her neck on the hook," Conan took the words in a low voice, and then looked at the wire, "after passing After a while, the ice cubes melted, Miss Ozawa's body fell, and she was strangled to death. After a while, the melted ice water flowed down the drain, and the water stains on the floor would slowly dry up... Of course, this is just our speculation, and we have to ask the police to investigate whether the proprietress and Mr. Shimizu have ever bought ice cubes, and if our guess is correct, the murderer should use this method to create an alibi .”

"In the wire, besides Ms. Ozawa's dyed long hair, there is also a very short black short hair wrapped around it." Chi Feichi stared at the wire circle without rushing to touch it. "That Mr. Shimizu is quite suspicious. .”

"Ah, it seems that the police officer of the forensics department should be troubled to identify who that hair is. If the identification results point to the person who bought ice cubes, this will also prove that the person is the murderer!"

After Conan finished speaking, he was in a daze for a moment.

Hey, wait...

Police officer Mu Mu hasn't come over yet, and the suspects haven't arrived yet. They have so many clues. Isn't the pace of today getting faster?
