Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 1833 1832【Cracking the case】

Jiang Xia thought for a while: "According to your statement, the 'Phantom' started from me, first passed by Yoshito Kariya in the middle, and then ran to the other end and bumped into Mr. Matsuzaki. Then he turned back and suddenly jumped in front of Yoshito Kariya. ocean?"

"..."

This route does indeed sound very weird: if even Matsuzaki Masahiko can scare the "Phantom" back the same way, then there is no reason for Kariya Yuuto, who has a more terrifying temperament, to be treated as nothing by him.

And if the "Phantom" has successfully passed the level of Yuuto Kariya, then there will be no need for him to turn back when he meets Masahiko Matsuzaki. In the end, he will be attacked from both sides and commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

The way he looks now is as if he is deliberately planning to jump into the sea in front of everyone.

The short-haired girl still felt something was wrong: "But everyone has seen the room on the fourth floor with their own eyes. Someone broke in, lived in it with a suitcase, and wrote scary bloody words on the wall."

"Whether it's from the bed sheets or the bathroom, there aren't many signs of living in that room." Jiang Xia said, "And the suitcase in the room is a little smaller than the large suitcase, so it can just fit in the quilt." The clothes were put into other suitcases and transported to the island without anyone noticing - the 'Phantom' was not a real person, but just a fictitious murderer used to take the blame."

Seeing that the others were silent, Jiang Xia continued to smoothly promote the progress of solving the case: "The old theater and the gorgeously decorated hotel are the few selling points of this island. In order to facilitate the sale, the previous seller took a large number of exquisite photos and hung them on the island. Online, including the structure of various houses.

"The new owner doesn't seem to care too much about the island. He didn't go out of his way to clean up the information after the transaction. In addition, the theaters of the same era have similar structures and agencies. The murderer does not need to go to the island in advance. He only needs to conduct targeted investigations in advance. , he can use this place to set up the killing move he wants."

Maya Hashimoto was giving Kurosawa Kazuma first aid when he suddenly noticed that the man actually opened his eyes, as if he was struggling to think of something to say.

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

He immediately guessed what this guy was obsessed with. In order to improve the success rate of rescue, he had to ask Kurosawa Kazuma with a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes to prevent this guy from holding it back and causing trouble: "I heard that when the first murder occurred, all of you Everyone was in the restaurant, and suddenly they heard the deceased screaming and ran out to check the situation. Then don’t you all have alibi? "

The short-haired girl's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes! You are the only one who appeared out of nowhere and has no alibi. Could it be you..."

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

Could it be that he couldn't escape the tragic fate of being treated as a suspect? He obviously didn't look like a bad guy...

Fortunately, a reliable detective will never wrong anyone.

Jiang Xia said patiently: "On the surface, it does seem like this, but when we went to the stage to check just now, we found that the distribution of the chandelier fragments was a bit strange - at a certain position, the fragments suddenly disappeared, leaving a straight and neat line. Boundary line. And combined with the surrounding environment, you can find that that line is exactly where the curtain falls.

"Ms. Matsuzaki may be a little obsessed with playing the heroine. When we practiced on the first day, she specially played the heroine in order to demonstrate, and she left all kinds of screams.

"The murderer recorded her screams in advance, and then found a way to lead her to the stage that night - since the deceased had done something that would leave clues to others, this step was not difficult.

"When the deceased arrived on the stage as scheduled, it was dinner time. Everyone except her...and Mr. George gathered in the restaurant. Before the meal, everyone discovered Matsuzaki Haru who was absent and heard her screams, so they rushed out Look around.

"But the scream at this time was actually just a preset recording. In fact, at this point in time, the deceased was still alive. At that time, she was standing on the stage, separated from the speaker by a thick soundproof curtain, plus Despite the heavy rain and lightning outside, the deceased did not hear the pre-recorded scream and was still waiting on the stage.

"Because there were a lot of noises, and because everyone was new here and not familiar with the terrain here, they couldn't tell where the screams were coming from, so we had to spread out and look for them.

"It was during this time that the murderer rushed backstage. In order to cover up the real murder, the murderer pressed the button to open the play. A harsh bell rang. Under the cover of this sound, he cut the hanging rope and raised the chandelier. It fell and killed the people waiting on the stage.

"Other people who are looking for the deceased will soon be able to determine the location of the accident when they hear the penetrating ringtone, and will run towards the stage from all directions. The murderer only needs to take the opportunity to raise the curtain, take a path and meet other people. By joining together, we can smoothly blend into the crowd."

"And this murder is also related to the death of Mr. Inozuka."

...Is it related to the death of Inozuka Taro?

Maya Hashimoto pricked up her ears silently, and the half-dead Kurosawa Kazuma also looked over.

Jiang Xia was quite satisfied with the instinctive vigilance of the two listeners, and continued: "The tape left in the first method was a flaw that had to be dealt with. However, when the murderer finally found an opportunity, he avoided everyone and sneaked away to deal with it. , but he discovered that there was someone who had access to the tape before him."

As he spoke, he shook a fragment in the small bag: "Just now, we found the fragment on Mr. Inozuka's flashlight backstage. He was probably attacked there... Alas, in fact, he was involved in this incident. The cause of the case has nothing to do with it, but he inexplicably became the victim of a serial murder case. It is really unfortunate."

The "new doctor" looked at him silently.

Jiang Xia seemed not to see the other party's gaze, and continued calmly: "It is precisely because this was an unplanned murder that the two cases since then have seemed a bit rough... Let's take a look at the second case first. .

"Konda Eimi said she wanted to see the dead the night before, but she was found hanging from the tree next to the hotel the next morning. In the mud under the tree, there was no trace of the second person. In addition, Her previous record of committing suicide made it look like she was controlled by a ghost to commit suicide.

"But in fact, the murderer didn't have to work hard to pull her out of the house. He only had to hammer a few nails loosely on the outside wall along the four corners of the window, and he could use them to open a noose looper.

"After the murder started, he only had to find a way to make the deceased look out the window, and then using the bulge on the building as a fulcrum, he could instantly tighten the rope, tighten the looper, and tighten the neck of the deceased."
