Chapter 14: The End in Mind
January 10, afternoon.
Dorobiga Paradise, the mysterious roller coaster.
In the tunnel just now, Yamazaki saw Mei Daizi in the dim light. As soon as he got out of the tunnel, he heard a woman screaming again, but it wasn't the one next to him. This one was lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking, and turned his head to look backwards. Everyone's eyes were focused on the man in the third row. The man's head was bleeding. Looking at the situation in the car, he was even spurting blood just now. He had passed out, so he didn't know if he was dead. The woman beside him couldn't stop screaming, obviously terrified.
After getting off the flying car, no one could leave until the police arrived, except Mr. Kishida, the man who was taken to the hospital.
"Woo..." The police arrived, led by the Megure Police Department, who took control of the scene, and Kudo Shinichi left.
Ayumi finally brought the four of them out of the darkness. Mitsuhiko, who had just seen the light, heard the siren and was very scared. When he heard the voice of the people, "Wait a minute..." he confessed, "We didn't come in without paying ..." Yuan Tai shut him up with his fist. Mei Daizi said: "Don't scare them." Then she said to the children: "Don't worry, he didn't come to arrest us." Ayumi stepped forward happily and said: "Big brother, you are the high school detective. "The person who came was Kudo Shinichi, who wanted to know what happened in the tunnel just now... Finally, Kudo Shinichi asked Mei Daizi to take the three children to the car home. Mei Daizi was willing, but the three children They didn't want to, they wanted to see how Kudo Shinichi would solve the incident, but Kudo Shinichi said that if he went, he would ask them to pay, so the three children agreed to go home.
On the other side, Kishida's friends were worried about him and gathered together to comfort each other. The men in black also wanted to leave, and one of the normal build said: "It was just an accident, we are very busy, let's go." "No, this is a murder incident," at this time Kudo Shinichi ran back panting , "And that prisoner is one of the seven people who took the same flying car as the victim." Hearing what he said, the eyes of the people at the scene and the surrounding onlookers all gathered.
Megure Police Department said: "Is what you just said true, Brother Kudo." This gave Kudo Shinichi a name, and people around talked, "That is the famous high school student detective Kudo Shinichi." "Is that the savior of the Japanese police?"
The man in black who just wanted to leave said to himself: "So he is Kudo."
"That is to say, if you and Lan are not included in the consideration, there are five suspects in total, two people in the first row, the victim's girlfriend who sat in the third row with the victim, and a person in black clothes who sat behind the victim Two people," Megure Police Department drew a picture to show the seat just now, and said to Kudo Shinichi, "If this is the case, since everyone is protected by safety bars, the only one who can kill the victim is The woman sitting next to him."
The man in black who just spoke continued: "Hurry up, we don't have time to play reasoning games with you here."
Then Kudo Shinichi looked at the man in black from the front. There was a cold light in this guy's eyes, as if he didn't care about killing many people. His detective instincts made him wonder who this guy really was.
After hearing the words of the Megure Police Department, a police officer searched the bag of the victim's girlfriend Aiko who was sitting in the third row with the victim, "Megure Police Department, a knife was found in this lady's bag." Her bag Inside was a knife wrapped in a cloth. Aiko looked at it for herself, "No, I didn't know there was such a thing at all."
Seeing this, the man in black who spoke just now said immediately: "Obviously the prisoner is that woman, you can let us go." "Okay,
Bring this lady back as a suspect. Seeing that even the murder weapon was found, the Mumu Police Department immediately issued an order.
"Please wait a moment, Megure Police Department," Kudo Shinichi stopped him, "The prisoner is not her." Megure Police Department was shocked and asked: "What, who could it be?"
Kudo Shin asked Ms. Hitomi: "Miss Hitomi, can you tell me why you screamed? Before Kishida's scream, it was you who screamed. The tone of your scream is the same as your scream yesterday morning. Same."
Hearing what he said, Lan asked: "Yesterday morning, what is called the same accent." Kudo Shinichi reminded: "Pervert!"
"It's the same as I heard." At this time, Mei Daizi came over alone, and greeted the Mumu police department by the way, which shocked the Mumu police department, and secretly called her subordinates to arrange people to go on patrol, hoping to understand Let me know if Mei Daizi has done anything in the paradise, such as injuring the person playing the monster in the haunted house, not being able to play with the bumper car, and accidentally breaking the steering wheel. Although most of them are not under his control, but since you meet them, let's take a look.
Ms. Hitomi was very embarrassed and faltered and couldn't speak.
Seeing Mei Daizi coming, Yamazaki came out from the corner next to her. The man in black who just spoke was startled, why didn't I find anyone there.
Mu Mu Police Department asked: "Are you..." He felt that he had seen this person before.
Yamazaki ignored him and said to Kudo Shinichi, "Chewing gum."
"It turns out that there is usually only one truth," Kudo Shinichi thought about it. Hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, the Megure Police Department listened carefully and let go of the question about Yamazaki. Then, Kudo Shinichi pointed to Ms. Hitomi and said, "The culprit is you." What a surprise, under the surprised eyes of everyone, Ms. Hitomi said: "You, what are you talking about, the knife is on Aiko It’s in her bag.” “You can’t do that kind of damage with that kind of knife,” Kudo Shinichi pointed out the flaw, “You put these things in her bag in advance in order to blame her for the crime. "
"However, she is sitting in the front row of the speeding car. This seems unlikely." Mumu Police Department questioned.
"No, if you use the speed of the roller coaster and add piano wire or steel coils, it will be possible." Kudo Shinichi's reasoning surprised Ms. Hitomi.
Then, Kudo Shinichi asked the Megure Police Department to arrange to reproduce the scene, "Everyone is optimistic, assuming that I am the criminal and the Megure Police Department is the victim." Kudo Shinichi demonstrated, "First, before the safety lever is lowered, put the backpack on the When putting down the safety bar, Kudo Shinichi came out from under the safety bar, "Just like this, it is easy to escape by creating a gap, and the next step is to take out the prepared ones on the steel wire Install the props of the hook, then, put your feet on the safety bar, and stick your body backwards, if you have practiced gymnastics before, you can do these things even on a roller coaster.”
"Originally, you planned to put the coil on the victim's head, let the hook hang on the track at the same time, and use the speed and power of the roller coaster to cut off the victim's head." Kudo Shinichi continued to reason, "But, When you are about to put the coil, you suddenly feel something abnormal on your thighs, maybe even under your skirt. At this time, you scream instinctively, and your body lifts up. At the same time, you let go of the hook. At this time The victim who heard the voice looked up, but of course he couldn’t see anything in the darkness. Then you immediately let go of the other hand, and the steel coil took away almost the entire scalp from the victim’s head. Therefore, the victim just uttered a scream and passed out."
"This abnormality is that the person sitting next to you spit out chewing gum from his mouth and sticks it to your body. The abnormality of that part in the dark, women will usually jump up, at least it will make the body vibrate, accompanied by screaming , and the tone is the same. I don’t know if I’m right, Ms. Hitomi.” Kudo Shinichi continued to analyze.
"It's nonsense, where is the evidence?" Ms. Hitomi yelled at Kudo Shinichi, but it seemed that she was struggling for the last time.
"Where did your necklace go?" Kudo Shinichi pointed out the most powerful evidence, "It's the pearl necklace you wore before taking the flying car." Then he took out Ayumi's hand in front of the pale-faced Miss Hitomi. The pearls collected from above, and some other pearls and threads from the hooks that I just found in the tunnel.
"One more thing, that tear, the tear that just fell on my face, you know the victim will die, so you shed tears before killing him," Kudo Shinichi looked at Miss Hitomi, "Your There are tear stains beside the eyes, if it is not for the roller coaster ride, the tears will not flow to both sides."
Under such circumstances, Ms. Hitomi finally cried out her motives, "It's all his fault, because he abandoned me, and we have been dating before going to college. That's why I met him on the first date." place, use the necklace he gave me to end his life, and then commit suicide." At the end, he burst into tears.
Mei Daizi, who was listening to her relish, saw her crying and sad, and asked Yamazaki, "Is that guy really dead?" Yamazaki replied: "Hospital." Mei Daizi looked at Miss Tong strangely and continued to ask: "Not dead, crying So sad?" Yamazaki replied, "Heart."
