Corpse collector in Conan

After a brief stalemate, the boy took the lead and looked at the player wearing earrings: "Kijima, you must hate that guy Saijo, right?"

Kijima snorted: "The matter is over, let's not beat around the bush - no one in the entire club likes him, including you, right?"

For the sake of himself and his own happiness, the pretty boy kept attacking: "But there is a difference between hatred and resentment. At most, we had some problems with him, but you were squeezed out of your representative status by him, and you even changed careers and became a swimmer, giving up completely. own future.”

This was undoubtedly a cruel move, and the police officers looked at Kijima Hisashi with suspicion.

A trace of cold sweat ran down Kijima's forehead, and then he sharpened his eyes and used more fierce moves to fight back: "I do hate him, but don't you hate him?"

He suddenly pointed at the pretty girl: "For example, you! You are obviously married, but you still don't know anything about President Saeki. I remember that guy from Saijo has several photos of you and the president dating - your recent days Isn't it because I became poorer and poorer because I was blackmailed by him and gave him all my money?"

The little white face was shocked and turned even paler.

President Saeki glanced at him distressedly, but before he could offer words of comfort, Kijima looked at her again: "And President! That guy Saijo failed to blackmail you, so he spread a lot of negative public opinions about you. I think Use this to mess up tomorrow's opening ceremony - that guy is used to being arrogant and never avoids people when he does bad things. Everyone knows these things, and you also have the motive to kill him!"

Mumu Police Department: "..." Good fight. He signaled Officer Takagi with his eyes: Remember it quickly!

Officer Takagi started writing.

And his other colleague was not idle either. The door of the venue opened, and Officer Sato pushed an old man in a wheelchair in.

Jiang Xia noticed the movement and turned to look: "This is..."

Sato Miwako introduced: "This is the painter I just mentioned who lives across the street - he is very concerned about things here and said he wanted to come and take a look."

Although no one was allowed to enter the scene of the crime, the first grade elementary school students were able to run around, and the painter was also an important witness after all, so Fujimi Kazuko turned a blind eye and took the person away. Come in.

As soon as the old painter came in, he looked around with bright eyes: obviously, he was more interested in this sparkling glass venue than in the murder case.

Then he walked around with interest, but the old painter felt something was wrong. When he turned his head, he suddenly found that many eyes were focused on him.

Old painter: "..."

He laughed dryly and got down to business. The old painter unfolded a painting he had brought with him: "This is the scene at that time - it must have been around 8 o'clock in the evening. I saw someone diving here, so I borrowed it. I made a rough draft based on the scene at that time. It hasn’t been refined yet, so let’s just make do with it.”

Jiang Xia walked over and looked at his painting. It was indeed a picture of people diving, with a high diving platform and a full moon larger than a human in the background.

Judy looked at him, always feeling that this was a coincidence: "Why did you just draw this scene? Did you have a premonition that something would happen?"

"Of course not." The old painter waved his hands repeatedly, "I would paint a few strokes at that time every day, but who would have thought that today's painting would turn out to be the portrait of a young man... Well, it's his own fault as well. If you dive into the water with the light on, you can’t see anything clearly, so no wonder you’ll get into an accident.”

After a pause, the old painter changed his mind again: "But speaking of this, it was precisely because the lights were turned off in the venue today that I got the inspiration to add a full moon to the painting - I had a hunch that this would be my whole life. The most beautiful and artistic one among the paintings!”

"Dance with the lights off?" Others wondered, "Why turn off the lights?"

"Gee, that's not the point."

The old painter waved his hand vigorously and immersed himself in the ocean of art alone: ​​"The point is that the scene is so beautiful! Even his face is shining. With the arc of the diving, it is like a meteor gliding over the moon. Same!

"I was impressed by that scene at first glance, and my thoughts came to me - I want to name this painting "Jumping in the Moonlight". It is really a scene worth remembering."

Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

Now that the clues are in place, it’s time to get off work.

After seeing off the excited old painter, he looked at the three people who were still bickering next to him and said to the Mumu Police Department: "I probably know who the murderer is."

The murderous intent of each of the three people froze: "?!"

Officer Takagi came closer, as if he was ready at any time.

Before the suspects could react, Jiang Xia quickly said: "The murderer first found an opportunity to knock Mr. Saijo out, and then put on the earplugs he used during practice. After that, he took the deceased to the diving pool and tried to fake that the deceased was practicing diving. I accidentally bumped into the platform.

“After the police discover the body of the ‘collapsed and drowned’ person, they will definitely go to the edge of the diving platform to collect evidence and find the remaining skin, blood and hair from the impact.

"But even if the lights are turned off, people outside can still vaguely see the scene on the diving platform. Therefore, the murderer cannot really bring the deceased onto the diving platform and let him fall. In order to fill this loophole, the murderer put a swimming cap on the deceased and then The swimming cap hit him on the head.

"With the protection of a swimming cap, even if the police failed to find any skin or blood on the platform afterwards, they would think it was because the deceased was wearing a swimming cap, instead of thinking that the platform was not the scene of the impact."

As Miwako Sato listened, she couldn't help but clenched her fists: This audacious murderer actually dared to scheme against the police like this.

Jiang Xia: "Also, about the witness. The old painter painted at a relatively fixed time every night, and since he could see the venue from his balcony, it was not difficult for others to see him.

"So the murderer actually had already mastered the painter's painting time pattern. Taking advantage of this, the old painter became a witness to the murderer without knowing it, and provided the police with the testimony that 'someone practiced diving alone at night.'

"With this testimony and the only body in the pool, things could easily turn out to be - the deceased accidentally hit his head and drowned while practicing diving alone at night.

"But it is difficult to completely predict human behavior. For example, the murderer may not have expected that the old painter was not only invited to the scene, but also gave key clues such as 'the deceased dived with the lights off.'

"When the lights are turned off at night and you look into the venue from the outside, you can only see people diving in the moonlight. You can't see clearly what the diving people look like. Even their skin color will be blurred."

Jiang Xia: "In other words, the diving man the old painter saw was not the deceased, but the murderer himself."
