Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Well..." Ito Zenfumi sat back in his chair and recalled with concentration, "I drove my sister back to the hotel at that time. Because my sister was not feeling well, I didn't drive very fast, but this shouldn't be the case. Let’s just consider it a waste of time. As for the suspicious people… I don’t remember encountering any cars or people along the way.”

"That is to say," Chi Feichi continued to ask, "the time when you sent Miss Miho to the hotel room was probably between 9:40 and 10pm, right?"

The four members of the Hatakeyama family sat between the two of them. Ishihara Tatsuya, Ishihara Kouko, and Hatakeyama Arisa moved their bodies uncomfortably, muttering to themselves that they shouldn't be sandwiched between the two people who were talking. It was too awkward. .

Kenshiro Hatakeyama felt a faint trace of pressure in the flowing air. He did not attribute the cause to 'embarrassment and awkwardness' like the other three members of the Hatakeyama family. He glanced at the source of the pressure, Chi Feichi, and then lowered his eyes. Silently listening to the Q\u0026A between Chi Feichi and Ito Zenfumi.

"I didn't pay attention to the specific time I arrived at the hotel," Ito Yoshifumi recalled as he spoke slowly, "but when I left the banquet hall, my sister looked at the time. It should have been 9:20 pm. She also She said she was embarrassed to have her brother-in-law entertain the guests alone, and I comforted her that she left because she felt unwell, and everyone would understand..."

"If you didn't delay on the way, the time you arrived at the hotel room would be around 9:40 pm," Chi Feichi confirmed the time with Ito Zenfumi again, "right?"

Ito Zenfumi nodded and confirmed the time Chi Feichi said, "That's right."

Conan wondered why Chi Feichi cared so much about this time. After thinking about it for a moment, his expression soon changed. He glanced at Ito Zenfumi in shock, then lowered his eyes solemnly to sort out his thoughts.

Haihara Ai noticed the change in Conan's expression and had a guess in her mind - the incident was not far away from being resolved.

"When you sent Miss Meifan back to her room, did you ever enter her room?" Chi Feichi asked again.

Ito Zenfumi nodded again, "Yes, she was feeling unwell, so I walked in and walked her to the bedroom door, and then left."

"When you left, were the lights in the room on or off?" Chi Feichi continued to ask.

Ito Zenfumi's eyes began to wander in one direction, "Is it the light in the room? It should have been on when I left..."

Megure Thirteen noticed that Ito Zenfumi was having a harder time answering questions than before, and his eyes on Ito Zenfumi became serious.

Even if the liar has rethought the lie a thousand times in his mind beforehand, he still cannot fill in every detail of the lie. If someone asks the liar about details that he has not thought of in advance, the liar's answer will be inconsistent, or... The liar reacts by thinking too much to avoid inconsistencies in the details, causing his eyes to wander and his answers to slow down.

Asking for details is a commonly used method in police interrogations. After working in the Criminal Department for so many years, he has used this method to ask questions more than once. He is also very familiar with the reactions of different people. He is so familiar that he only relies on Ito Yoshifumi's answering rhythm. , you can feel that Ito Zenfumi is hiding something.

To identify whether the person concerned is lying, it is not about whether the person speaking is slower than others, but whether the person speaking is slower than normal.

If the person concerned is not lying and is just retelling the situation at the time, he may be silent or pause when recalling, and may also use the words "uncertain" and "maybe". However, in this formal question and answer, the person concerned will recall Give answers after a certain level, and the rhythm of the answers will not be much different from before.

However, Ito Zenfumi also pretended to be very good before, and his psychological quality is definitely good. Brother Chi may make the other party feel the psychological pressure during the interrogation in advance. If Ito Zenfumi adapts to this kind of high pressure, they and the police will want to use interrogation later. It will be more difficult to break through Ito Zenbumi's mental defense.

To put it simply, he felt that Brother Chi was putting too much pressure on Ito Zenfumi at the moment.

The police only dare to apply pressure to this level when they have some evidence, because if the prisoner's defenses are not broken under high pressure, the prisoner may develop strong self-confidence because of the "successful confrontation" and become more cunning later on. Difficult.

In fact, what he said before, that Ito Zenfumi borrowed millions from multiple financial institutions, can be used as a breakthrough to break through Ito Zenfumi's mental defense, but that has been said by him, and Ito Zenfumi has been mentally prepared. Now It won't work anymore. As for other aspects, he doesn't think there is anything else suitable for it...

"At nine forty-five last night," Chi Feichi looked at Ito Zenfumi calmly and threw out the information he had about Wang Zha. "A staff member in the hotel saw someone hurriedly leaving Miss Miho's room. Running out hurriedly..."

"This..." Ito Zenfumi's face changed drastically. After sitting upright suddenly, he forcibly stopped standing up and sat on the chair with unconcealed surprise on his face, "How is it possible..."

"Brother Chi, is this true?" Mumu Shisan asked in shock.

Ito Zenfumi and Ito Miho left the banquet hall at 9:20 pm. According to Ito Zenfumi, the two of them did not waste time on the way. Therefore, the sister and brother should have arrived at the hotel around 9:40 pm.

At 9:45 pm, a hotel staff actually saw someone running out of Ito Miho's room. Judging from the time, the person the hotel staff saw was probably Ito Zenfumi...

Are there any witnesses to this incident? !

When did Brother Chi find out? !

They were investigating together throughout the whole process, why didn't he know... Wait, Brother Chi, couldn't he be deceiving Ito Zenfumi?

Although the police cannot fabricate facts to obtain a confession, Chi Laodi is not a policeman. What they can't do doesn't mean Chi LaoDi can't do it.

Just like just now, if their police interview puts pressure on Ito Zenfumi, Ito Zenfumi can angrily say, "Are you doubting me?" to avoid the question. When they have no evidence, the police will be very passive, but When Brother Chi asked, Ito Zenfumi was not sure whether this trick would work on Brother Chi, so he would choose to answer the question as cooperatively as possible.

Thinking this way, Mumu Shisan felt a little annoyed.

If Brother Chi is defrauding Ito Zenfumi, as a policeman, he should not act surprised at this time. It is best to remain silent with an incomprehensible face, so that Ito Zenfumi can't figure out how much they have mastered. I can just ask Ito Zenfumi to tell the truth...

"Of course it's true," Chi Feichi didn't look at Memu Thirteen, but kept his eyes on Ito Zenfumi. Seeing Ito Zenfumi's face changing, he felt a little playful in his heart, and continued unhurriedly, "According to The witness said that there were no lights on in Miss Miho's room at that time... So the question is, Mr. Ito, how long do you think the staff member saw there? "

Conan, like everyone else, set his sights on Ito Zenfumi.

His little friend said, "There is no light in the room" to provide Ito Zenfumi with information - we know the condition of the room when you left the room and can tell you for sure, so you don't have to doubt, we do have witnesses.

If Mr. Shanwen believes that they have found an eyewitness, he will naturally be worried that they have obtained key testimony from the eyewitness, and may admit...

Ito Zenfumi's face suddenly softened, showing a somewhat helpless expression, "I don't know who the staff member saw, but when I separated from my sister, she was still fine, and the lights in the room were indeed Still open."

Mumu Shisan frowned.

Others could also see that something was wrong with Ito Zenfumi's reaction just now, but looking at Ito Zenfumi's current performance, they all guessed that Ito Zenfumi planned to deny it to the end.

Seeing that Ito Zenfumi was trying to act stupid, Conan frowned and said, "Mr. Zenfumi, the staff member didn't arrive there only at 9:45 pm, and he didn't just stay there for a minute or two. In his view, He was there for a period of time before and after someone ran out of Miss Miho's room. Except for the person who left at 9:45, he did not see anyone else leave Miss Miho's room. Of course, there was no one else. Saw you leaving when the room light was on..."

Mumu Thirteen: "?"

Even Conan knows about the existence of witnesses?

Hey, everyone is obviously investigating together, why do Chi and Conan know the existence of witnesses, but he doesn't?

And he is the police, right? These two people had such important clues, but they didn't even tell him!
