Corpse collector in Conan

It's a pity that maybe the "funeral silver coin" is not here, or maybe that person is too good at hiding his expression. The only thing Takamori Masumi responded to was the faint chirping of birds coming from the hall in the distance. In the birdcage, two canaries were flapping in panic.

For two innocent birds who just wanted to hatch their eggs quietly, the two murders that happened one after another and the various screams coming from the murder scenes were too heavy.

The joys and sorrows between humans and birds are not the same. But at this time, Takamori Masumi's mood was not much better than that of the two birds.

——The words Jiang Xia just said were not just casual remarks.

Because after a short period of thinking, he seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and talked about the case in detail.

"This should be a cleverly designed psychological scam." Jiang Xia pointed to the wine bottles and glasses on the table. "Before the dinner started, the murderer sneaked into an empty room and placed two wine glasses and a bottle on the table. The red wine had been opened and one of the glasses was poisoned.

"After making these preparations, the murderer took advantage of the chaos in the venue and secretly made an appointment with the deceased to meet. So as soon as the dinner started, the deceased took the initiative to leave the banquet hall and came to the death scene.

"The murderer did not come with him. He stayed at the venue, calculated the time, and made a phone call to the deceased after he was seated. During this phone call, he said something that would make the deceased drink the poisoned wine. For example, 'Someone suddenly came to see me just now. I'll go out for a while. You have a drink first and wait for me.'"

"So that's it!" Police Department Mu Mu slapped his palm, "Then the deceased drank the poisoned wine and died on the spot."

Takamori Masumi couldn't be as happy as him. She really felt that her heart started to hurt. For a moment, she just wanted to collapse on the ground with her knees weak.

But her desire to survive made her hold back: "But, there are two wine glasses here. What if the deceased used another glass? There is too much uncertainty in killing someone from a distance like this - only the murderer actually sat down Only here can we ensure that the deceased drank the only glass of poisoned wine as he imagined."

Mao Lilan was startled and looked up at her. Some kind of rich experience and some sensitive intuition made her vaguely aware of something, and her heart sank.

Suzuki Sonoko also raised her head and glanced at Takamori Masumi. Some kind of rich experience and some not sensitive intuition made her touch her chin and nodded thoughtfully: "..." Masumi could actually think of using this method. This method attracts Jiang Xia's attention. He knows how to find an entry point!

Indeed, if you say "Hello, handsome man!" to a detective on the street, the other person may not respond.

But if you say to the detective, "Hey! I see something wrong with your reasoning"... then you may not be able to leave even if you want to.

As expected, Jiang Xia did not ignore this question, and his eyes also fell on Takamori Masumi: "That's why I just said that the murderer needs to use some psychological manipulation techniques - if there are two empty cups on the table, There are two empty chairs in the same position, so the probability that the deceased drank the poisoned wine is indeed only half.

"But if a little red wine is poured into one of the wine glasses and the stool is slightly tilted to create the illusion that someone is sitting here, then the deceased will have to sit on the other side.

"And this would make the deceased think that the other party had drunk while waiting for him. In this case, he could drink some first. So he poured wine into the empty cup that had been poisoned in advance, and he Poisoned myself."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." A question made Jiang Xia speak for such a long time, and he kept looking at Masumi seriously during the whole process. This is really... effective!

When she realized something, she took out her mobile phone and quietly wrote down notes in the memo with her fingertips: As expected of a quasi-adult who has been in society, Masumi is very good at making conversation. Save it and save it for later.

Before he could finish remembering, he heard Masumi Takamori speak again: "But it's still very strange. President Rokujo was poisoned to death just yesterday for drinking red wine, and it's not even 30 hours since now. In this environment, if it were me , I was suddenly called to an empty room and found two glasses of wine in the room. I definitely didn’t dare to drink it.”

Suzuki Sonoko was typing while listening attentively: "..." It makes sense. Why didn't she think of it just now?

In order to chase stars, Masumi actually awakened the soul of a detective... It seems that if you want to be proficient in using this method, you need to seriously hone your professional skills.

Jiang Xia is very patient: "Some people are not naturally alert enough and always feel that bad things will not happen to them, so they dare to continue to live at their own pace after the crime, and do whatever they want. In previous murder cases, I I also encountered some people who died as a result.

"And this time, the murderer also took this factor into consideration - being suddenly asked to talk to an empty room without an owner would indeed make him wary. But in the concept of the deceased, this is not an empty room, but a place with people. What about the Lord's room?

"This hotel has a long history. When it was first established, it did not exist as a hotel, so what is hung on the door is not the room number, but the name tag of each guest, which can be removed and modified at any time - so just do whatever you want Find an empty room and put a fake name tag with the murderer's name on it. When the deceased arrives, he will think he is in the murderer's room.

"There are police all around now, and this is not a home with better privacy, but a hotel room where staff can enter at any time. Unless the murderer wants to expose himself, this kind of place is definitely not a suitable place to kill. The subconscious mind of the deceased I had such an idea, felt a sense of security, and then drank that deadly poisonous wine without any sense of crisis.”

"..." Masumi Takamori opened her mouth and smiled, "That's amazing! When I saw your crime-solving reports before, I was still wondering if there was artistic processing. I didn't expect that you could actually find out from such a few clues. So much useful information.”

Mao Lilan looked at her expression and the cold sweat on her forehead, and lowered her head sadly.

Suzuki Sonoko also lowered her head and was clicking on her mobile phone: "..." So that's it. After questioning and waiting for the other party to give an explanation, be sure to praise his professionalism, suppress first and then raise, the effect will be doubled!

…

Since there was no further evidence for the time being, everyone left the scene and prepared to rest.

Mao Lilan fell two steps behind and walked to Suzuki Sonoko: "Sonzi, have you noticed Masumi..."

"I discovered it." Suzuki Sonoko was excited, "She is really amazing!"

Mao Lilan: "..." Eh? (End of chapter)
