Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

In the storm, in the villa

"You, you, what do you mean by this?" Zhong Yuanxiang was sweating profusely, staring and shouting

"I guess you must have bought all kinds of snacks in advance and put them in the car! Well, probably bought them when buying hot pot base during the day."

Shiraishi Takeshi said with a playful look on his face:"Before committing the crime, he said he was going to a convenience store, asked everyone what they wanted to eat, and then pretended to drive to a convenience store at the foot of the mountain, then parked the car in an appropriate place, and picked out the snacks everyone wanted from the snacks prepared in advance, so that it looked like he had just bought them from a convenience store."

"Nonsense!!"Nakahara Xiang yelled in panic

"After preparing your alibi, you calmly sneaked into the room through the window and killed Professor Oyama who was hacking the TV, right?" Shiraishi Takeshi asked playfully.

"Humph, there is no evidence, why are you making random guesses!" Zhongyuan Xiang snorted impatiently

"Evidence——Of course I have it!!!" Bai Shiwu raised his head and said confidently.

"What!?"

"Any evidence?"

"Xiangzi, you, it can't really be you……"

"Where is the evidence? Do you have the guts to show me the evidence?" Zhongyuan Xiang asked

"The first evidence is that there must be a lot of snacks in your car or somewhere near the villa. This is the evidence that you have bought various snacks in advance!"

"Hahaha! That's hilarious. I do have a lot of snacks in my car, but I bought them by the way. I want to put some snacks in my car. What's wrong? Is there a problem? Mr. Detective?" Nakahara Xiang laughed.

"The second piece of evidence is the blood-stained tablecloth in the room!——"

Bai Shiwu said, reaching out to put the tablecloth back on the table, and then put the lighter he found on the sofa on the bloodstain.

Then he explained:"You can see it by looking at it. The bloodstain is clearly visible where the tablecloth touches the tabletop, and the blood-stained lighter did not leave any bloodstains on the sofa. This means that someone touched it after the bloodstain dried."

"Just now, to ensure that everything went smoothly, I specifically asked you all if you had touched anything in the room. The four of you were very firm in your attitudes, saying no!"

"Yes, but……"

Zhongyuan Xiang's rebuttal was directly interrupted by Bai Shiwu:"Please listen to me first. I asked the question before just following the procedure. At that time, every move of the three of them was under my observation. They really didn't touch anything in the room before I stopped them!"

"In other words, the tablecloth was not knocked off by the three of them! That means, Miss Xiangzi, who swore that she had not stepped into the room, the tablecloth could only have been knocked off by you!"

"Incense, Incense……"Jin Zhengzhikang stared at Zhongyuanxiang suspiciously

"But, but Mr. Detective, Xiangzi and the teacher have a very good relationship!"Jiangnan Guobu still couldn't believe it.

"I think you took the opportunity to urge the deceased to come and confirm whether the deceased was dead. After confirming that the deceased was dead, you screamed, and then belatedly discovered the strange posture of the deceased, kneeling and dying, and the death message left on the tablecloth."

"We heard your screams and the footsteps running towards you, which made you anxious. In a hurry, you threw the tablecloth and the lighter off the table. That's why the situation just now happened, right, Miss Xiangzi?"

The room suddenly became silent.

Zhongyuan Xiang clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, sweated profusely, and kept silent.

"Xiangzi……"Jiangnan hesitates

"Am I wrong? Miss Nakahara Xiang, if you think the evidence is not enough, I have two more points here. Do you want to hear them?"Bai Shiwu said playfully

"Humph, I didn't expect that after planning for a month, my meticulous murder method would have so many problems!"

Zhongyuan Xiang closed her eyes and suddenly snorted coldly.

"W-What!?"

"Xiangzi, what you mean is that you should have said……"

"How, how could it be possible!"

Everyone was in disbelief, and Nakahara Xiang stared at Shiraishi Takeshi expressionlessly:"Detective, tell me, the other two pieces of evidence!"

"The third piece of evidence is the cash register data from the Yamashita convenience store. Although it is troublesome, if the police want to investigate, they can still easily find out whether you went to buy these snacks between nine and ten o'clock!"

"What about the fourth one?"Zhongyuan Xiang asked curiously

"The fourth one, I actually haven't figured it out yet! That's the death message left by the deceased on the tablecloth."

Bai Shiwu pointed to the lighter in the corner of the tablecloth and said,"The deceased died of a punctured lung. After a lung puncture, most people can live for about ten minutes. In the last ten minutes, the deceased left this death message. But I still don't understand what this lighter in the corner means."

"Shogi!" Nakahara Xiang smiled and explained:"This tablecloth is the same as the shogi chessboard, and this lighter means the fragrant car in shogi. Because the teacher loved shogi very much when he was alive, I understood the meaning of the message he left at the first glance, so I wanted to destroy it!"

The case ended.

A day later, Shiraishi Takeshi and Xiaolan finally set off on their return journey after a two-day and one-night trip to the snowy mountains.

Psychological treatment is psychological treatment, and Xiaolan is still just a high school student. High school students still have to go to school obediently.

Snow-covered.

A car was driving fast on the deserted and silent forest road.

"Lan, did you have fun this time?" Bai Shiwu asked gently.

"Well, well - as long as Wu is here, it doesn't matter where I go, it's the same to me!"After saying this, Xiaolan's face instantly turned red.

At this moment, a big man in a black coat with an anxious face appeared on the road ahead, as if he had something urgent to do.

""Shit!"

Bai Shiwu frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
