Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Detective Baima didn't answer Hattori Heiji's words, looked at the road ahead and walked towards the warehouse, and said in a soft voice, "Tonight, when the young lady went out to find you, I sent her to the door, closed the door and turned back to the room. Brother Chi looked out of the window with an ugly face, as if there was something terrifying outside, he was frightened, I was shocked when I saw his expression..."

Hattori Heiji was taken aback, and asked with a frown, "Is there anyone else on this island?"

"Brother Baima wants to say that Brother Chi's mental state is indeed not right, is it?" Conan did not avoid this topic.

"I think it's very possible. At that time, I immediately turned my head to look out the window, but I didn't see anything. Looking back, Brother Feichi didn't have focus in his eyes at that time, and he didn't seem to be looking out the window," Baima explored, " So I'm not sure what he was looking at, what he saw, or whether he had hallucinations or auditory hallucinations. After that, he didn't speak, and I had no choice but to keep him silent and let him adjust in a quiet environment. He said he was too tired. I told you the same thing when I went downstairs to eat, and he didn’t have a good rest the night before, but he insisted on taking a rest by himself. My mental state is not right..."

"Hey, you don't agree with that guy's reasoning, do you think Brother Feichi is the murderer?" Hattori Heiji looked dissatisfied, looking at Tan Baima with a little disbelief, "Actually, that guy Shizu's reasoning is... ..."

"Yes, there are still many doubts that cannot be explained clearly," Tan Baima took over the words in a soft but firm voice, "First of all, Mr. Zuowei was tied up before his death. If Brother Feichi is the murderer, how did the rope come from? When did Brother Feichi get ready? Where did Brother Feichi get the rope? Also, why did you tie up Mr. Hammertail before attacking? He only had ten minutes to do the crime. He tied up a person before killing and cutting off his fingers. , It will take more time, since I planned to go back to the second floor to clean up the blood on my body from the beginning, wouldn’t it be better to kill quickly and go back to the second floor to clean myself up..."

Hattori Heiji said in a muffled voice, "Also, even if Brother Feichi jumped out of the upstairs window to attack when we went downstairs, how could he be sure that Mr. Tsutsuo was in the room at that time? And Mr. Tsutsuo found out It should be strange for someone to jump out of his window from upstairs, right? Since the window has not been damaged, no matter what secret room technique that guy Shijin is talking about, it cannot be completed quickly, and if Brother Feichi is in the window Mr. Tsukao would be suspicious if he made any suspicious moves outside, or asked Mr. Tsukao to open the window. We were in the restaurant on the other side of the corridor at the time, but we didn’t hear any calls for help from Mr. Tsukao. Questioning voice, that guy Shijin made a judgment without even thinking about it, it's too arbitrary!"

"The third doubtful point is Mr. Mutsuo's severed finger," Conan took the words seriously, "In this incident, the murderer had very little time to commit the crime, but he still deliberately cut off Mutsuo's finger. There must be some reason. Although Detective Shijin can say that Brother Chi felt that his fingers should be cut off because of hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. In fact, it makes sense to say so, but there is no evidence to prove this speculation. I still think There must be some meaning for the murderer to do this."

"Yeah, why did you cut off Mr. Tsuchio's finger?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin with a puzzled expression, "And why is it the thumb of the right hand?"

Baima Tan stopped at the door of the warehouse and joined in thinking, "When it comes to fingers, you will think of the ring worn on the ring finger as a wedding ring..."

Conan is also thinking, "The ring worn on the thumb, whether it is the left hand or the right hand, should symbolize power, wealth and self-confidence..."

Hattori Heiji: "Does the murderer mean that Mr. Tsuchio has no power, no money, and no self-confidence?"

White Horse Detective: "As for the meaning of thumbs up, it generally represents praise, expressing appreciation, admiration or encouragement for a good job, but in the United States, 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 cursing..."

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 looked at each other, all silent.

After a while, Hattori Heiji let out a dry cough in embarrassment, "Hey, it's also possible that the murderer didn't think about it at all. Maybe cutting his fingers was for revenge or to create some tricks or cover up something."

Conan nodded in approval, and said, "However, none of us have defective fingers, and it's hard to judge."

Bai Matan stopped talking, took out the key to unlock the padlock on the warehouse door, "Anyway, not only Brother Feichi, but also the other three may commit the crime..."

"Hey, hey," Hattori Heiji glanced at Tan Baima, "Are you still doubting Brother Feichi?"

Hakuba Tan looked sideways at Hattori Heiji, his tone still unhurried, "Shizu-san is right about one thing, detectives can't be influenced by personal feelings and reasoning, except for the three of us and the little lady, the other four have He is suspected of committing the crime, and he can confidently say that Brother Feichi is the murderer. We cannot deny that he must have some clues that we do not know. For detectives, it is not advisable to avoid the facts and be impulsive. If it’s Brother Chi, I believe he will name all the possible perpetrators, get rid of the influence of personal feelings on judgment, eliminate them one by one, and finally find the truth.”

Hattori Heiji was furious, "You bastard..."

"Brother Baima, you misunderstood," Conan looked up at Baima and said, "Brother Heiji is not that kind of person!"

Hattori Heiji's expression softened a lot.

It's better to be his little friend, who can stand by his side at this time...

"He's just more agitated and less willing to admit things he doesn't want to admit!" Conan said with a smile.

Hattori Heiji:"!"

Is that any different from saying he was impulsive and avoiding the facts?

Conan felt that there was a big difference. He knew what kind of person Hattori Heiji was. He said "impossible" and "won't", and maybe because he was more emotional, when he said decisive words, he looked like a single-minded person. Arbitrary conclusions, but Hattori will not evade in his heart, he will be what he is, and he will secretly look for evidence unconvinced.

He understands this feeling. In the previous incident at the 3K Hotel, he didn't believe that his idol would kill someone, and he firmly said 'no'. This time it's the same. If Hattori is excited, he can't be any more excited, and he doesn't have to express his opinion in a hurry.

The most important thing now is to find enough clues and evidence!

"Can't open it, the key isn't here..." Hakuba Tan didn't bother anymore, and didn't want to quarrel with Hattori Heiji. He tried the key chain in his hand and found that there was no key that could open the warehouse padlock. He took out a key from his pocket. Take a wire and start poking through the keyhole.

Hattori Heiji didn't know what to say for a while, "I said you..."

"Because I wanted to understand how the thief opened the lock, so I asked someone to learn about it," Bai Ma Tan explained without raising his head, "This kind of purse lock is relatively old. Compared with the current anti-theft locks in the city, it is not too difficult to open..."

Hattori Heiji has a black thread.

He didn't want to know why Tan Baima learned to pick the lock and how he planned to open it, but he felt that...

A detective suddenly took out a wire and began to pick the lock. Doesn’t Baima feel that the style of painting is not right?

"Where did brother Baima find the wire?" Conan looked strangely.

If it was Chi Feichi who had wires on him, he wouldn't think it was strange, because Chi Feichi liked to prepare all kinds of things in advance, but the same is true for Baima Tan, right?

"I found it in the toolbox in the room," Baima Tan said, "In our room, there is a toolbox, which contains screw scissors, pliers, and wire. Brother Feichi didn't talk to me in the room before. I opened it and read..."

"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, so it is easy to see. Do all rooms have such a toolbox?"

As they said that, the three of them froze, and turned their heads to look at the wooden framed windows on the first floor of the hotel at the same time, with strange brilliance in their eyes.

Hattori Heiji came back to his senses, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I see, that's why Shizu speculated that the murderer entered through the window..."

Baima Tan turned around and continued to open the lock with a small wire, "Actually, this time, Brother Feichi may find the murderer faster than us. If he is the murderer, he certainly knows who the murderer is. If he is not the murderer, all he needs is suspicion." There are only three people, so you don't need to consider him as the most suspicious person, and Shijin and Yueshui can also be the first to confirm or exclude themselves, their targets are only three people..."

Hattori Heiji and Conan vaguely guessed the meaning of Baima Tan, and looked at each other, looking at Baima Tan.

"Crack."

The padlock was opened, Baima Tan took off the lock, turned his head and smiled at the two of them, "Since the starting line has lost its balance, then the three of us who absolutely have no time to commit the crime join hands to find out the truth as soon as possible, isn't it too much?"

...

Hotel, restaurant.

There were not many places to search in the living room and dining room, so Hui Yuanai turned around and looked in the direction of the gate without interest.

She suspected that Detective Baima made this arrangement because he wanted to call Hattori and Kudo out to discuss something, so they left those who didn't have a clear alibi here.

As for her...

Detective Baima probably felt the need to leave someone to monitor other people's movements, and wanted to say something to the two detectives, Kudo and Hattori, so he chose to let her stay. I believe she can notice some abnormalities. Brother Chi is the murderer, and as a younger sister, she can easily stop Brother Fei Chi when he is in a bad state, such as a family awakening routine.

In short, Brother Feichi will stand by her side, and with Brother Feichi's skill, even if someone here suddenly flees and commits a crime, or even the other three people conspire to murder and have malicious intentions, Brother Feichi can easily handle it. Don't worry about security issues.

Well, Tan Baima is very thoughtful, but that guy deliberately avoids Brother Feichi, is it because he is also suspicious of Brother Feichi?

Although she wanted to scold Baima Tan in her heart, her reason told her that it was right for Baima Tan to do so.

At that time, Shi Jinzai swore that he must have a certain clue, and he was right about some of Brother Feichi's symptoms, and there was no way to refute it.

And even if they believed that Brother Feichi would not be the murderer, it would be inconvenient to ask Brother Feichi to investigate at this time, so as not to make people suspect that they were colluding to help Brother Feichi.

For the good of Brother Feichi, it is best for the detective team to exclude Brother Feichi from the investigation, so that the reasoning and evidence proving Brother Feichi's innocence can be convincing.
