Chapter 409: Reasoning of the Tour Group

On the morning of May 2, McRaffert Villa.

After hearing Ikuo Kawazu's words, Hattori Heiji and Conan thought at the same time, by the way, is that the method used by the murderer? So the murderer must be him, but there is no evidence yet, wait a minute, I remember Lan said that Miss Ayako was wandering in the corridor during the day, if she saw something in that person's room at that time If so, yes, it must be so, so it is so, I understand.

Seeing the enlightened expression on Hattori Heiji's face, Sonoko said to Yamazaki, "Hey, hey, you won't lose to him, right? Come on, give me some hints."

Mei Daizi cheated in the exam, was she brought by her? Yamazaki laughed inwardly, then whispered something in Sonoko's ear.

"Ah, I know who the murderer is," Molly said with a sudden smug smile, "The real murderer is you." Pointing at the fortune teller, "The fortune teller, Miss Toda Maria."

"Me?" Toda Fortuneteller was taken aback, "What are you talking about?"

"You must be right," Mori said to Toda Fortuneteller, "You must have used hypnotism to get the host to drive down the cliff by himself, and then used hypnotism to let Miss Ayako go to the garage to pour gasoline and light the fire." Yes, and now Mr. Fujisawa used hypnotism to stab himself, but Mr. Fujisawa woke up again because of the pain. I am right, Fortune Teller Toda."

Kawazu Ikuo said, "It seems to make sense."

Nanako Shimizu said, "You have such a plot in movies."

Toda Fortuneteller shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, okay? I'm just a fortuneteller, not a magician."

"They're all of the same nature," Maori said.

"Dad." Lan shouted helplessly.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji and Conan were speechless after hearing Mori identify Toda Fortuneteller as the murderer.

Conan straightened his triangular eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was just after six o'clock, and Mei Daizi slept until ten o'clock at least. Yamazaki, a theatergoer, can't be counted on. It seems that he will use an anesthetic injection to make his uncle fall asleep Yes, but the guy next to him who was in the way sighed, forget it, let this guy get this chance. Then he said to Hattori Heiji: "Hey, if the temperature rises, what will happen to the stiffness? Will the stiffness become faster?" At the same time, I thought, I should understand this.

Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Please be clear. I'm already stupid. If you talk nonsense, I don't understand." Then he raised his chin at Yamazaki, Said, "Why don't you go find him."

Damn it, it seems that this guy knows the truth, but he deliberately doesn't say it, Conan thought, doesn't he want to see me reasoning? This guy, well, that's him. Then he said, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he ran outside.

Hattori Heiji said: "Then I'll go with you too." As he said that, he hurriedly followed, but he didn't know that when he went out, he felt a numbness in his neck before seeing Conan, and then lost consciousness.

In this way, no one would disturb him. Conan smiled and pushed Hattori Heiji, who fell down, adjusted his posture, and let him sit on the threshold. Hearing Ran's shout, Conan hid behind Hattori Heiji and said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "This is the end of the joke, uncle, I now know who the murderer is." Then he said, "There's no need to hide it anymore , the real murderer who caused three incidents in a row," he said, raising Hattori Heiji's arm, "it's you."

Seeing the arm pointing at himself, Maori was taken aback,

"Ah I?"

"It's not you." Conan said helplessly in Hattori Heiji's voice, and then continued, "I'm talking about Mr. Toba who is sweating behind the uncle, and you are the murderer."

"Please, please wait a moment, please don't talk nonsense," Toba Kento said, "I stayed in the living room for several hours before the host's car started, didn't I? And when the fire broke out, I also followed We are all together."

"That's right." Mori planted a mushroom on Hattori Heiji's head, "You idiot."

Won't wake him up? Conan was a little worried.

"Dad." Lan shouted helplessly.

"What are you doing? That Kansai accent has suddenly become so weird." Maori said casually, and then asked, "You kid, weren't you in the living room when the host's car started? You said How did Toba-san get the car started at that time?"

Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice: "That's right, it seems impossible on the surface, but as long as he improves the rigidity of the back and some functions of the car, it becomes possible and capable." At the same time, he thought to himself, Why is Kansai dialect so convoluted? "Mr. Toba's method is like this. He killed the host one day before now, stuffed the host's body into the car, and fixed his feet on the brakes. After half a day, the body began to stiffen. It’s time to start the engine and set the automatic gear. At this time, because the host’s foot is still on the brake, the car started, but it is still in a stopped state. Then he went to open the garage before dinner yesterday, and then he only needs to Just sit in the living room and wait slowly. When the body of the host begins to soften, the force of the brakes gradually decreases, and the car that has already started will naturally and slowly drive out, while the other person is in the living room, That creates an alibi."

"Nonsense," Mao Li laughed. "It takes forty hours for a person to soften after death. You just said that yourself."

"What if the outside temperature is very high?" Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "If the temperature around the body is high, the stiffness and softening of the body will be accelerated, so it doesn't take forty hours. Three At 15 degrees, it takes only 24 to 30 hours for the stiff body to start to soften. Conan said that the last time he saw the organizer was around 8:00 pm on April 30, if he immediately I was killed. It was exactly 30 hours before we saw the car start at around 2:30 am on May 2. The sound I heard was indeed the sound of the air conditioner in the car, but the air conditioner was not turned on. , but the heating, the towel covering the control panel of the car is to prevent someone from seeing the display on the control panel that the air conditioner is on when the car is close to the car. In this way, the situation matches."

Kawazu Ikuo said, "That's why you went to check the tire marks yesterday."

"Yes, if the air-conditioning is turned on, there should be water dripping near the front wheels." Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "As I expected, there was no water on the ground at all."

"But with this method, as soon as you examine the body, you will know it immediately." Maori said, "That's right, that's why the organizer and the car were designed to fall off the cliff. Since there is no way to find the body, there is no way to test it." The body remains in a stiff state.”

Toda fortune-teller asked: "Then why did the car start to accelerate halfway?"

Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice: "I guess it might be because the car was driving on an uneven road, and the host's foot slipped off the brake pad completely."

Kawazu Ikuo said: "It turns out that this is the way to start the car automatically, and let everyone see the scene from the inside of the house."

Toda Fortuneteller said: "Then, the murderer has a perfect alibi."

Lan asked: "Then, at that time, Mr. Toba, the reason why he kept Ms. Ayako in the living room was to let Ms. Ayako watch the whole process with him and become his own witness?"

"Yes, that's absolutely correct." Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "And the only one who can keep Ms. Ayako back is Mr. Toba who came with Ms. Ayako."

"Listening to your reasoning just now is like reading a novel." Kento Toba asked, "Since you believe that I am the murderer, then from the perspective of the murderer, let me ask you, you were there at the time, Miss Assistant You are also here, why should I keep Ayako?"

"That's right," Molly said, "that's just superfluous."

Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice: "Because Ms. Ayako wants to ask you to go back together, if you don't leave, it will look unnatural. And if you leave, naturally there will be no alibi."

Maori said, "That makes sense."

Kento Toba said, "Then, may I ask, is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Of course there is evidence, but wait a minute," Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice. "Now let's talk about the second incident. The problem with the second incident is that everyone was in the house at the time, but the garage caught fire. The fire Actually, Ms. Ayako ordered it herself."

"What?" Molly said. "Don't be kidding, it's suicide."

"Because all you have to do is say to her, 'The first printed first edition of Sherlock Holmes is now under the back seat of that car in the garage,'" Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice.

"The first edition of the novel?" Fujisawa Toshiaki said in surprise, "By the way, so I was invited to go."

"Yes, the car parked in the garage at that time not only leaked all the gasoline, but also removed the battery from the car. Looking for something under the back seat," Conan asked in Hattori Heiji's voice, "Uncle, what would you do?"

"Well, because you can't see anything in the car, you can only use a lighter or something," Maori said. After igniting the lighter, the flame of the lighter immediately ignited the gasoline leaking from the car."

Lan asked: "But Miss Ayako, isn't she Mr. Toba's girlfriend? Why did he kill her?"

"Because Ms. Ayako has seen through Mr. Toba's method of using changing the time of freezing to conceal the murder, and has obtained evidence that Mr. Toba is the real murderer." Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "Everyone should still remember, that At that time, Ms. Ayako suddenly said that she knew who the murderer was. Mr. Toba followed her out with the excuse of protecting Ms. Ayako. Later, Ms. Ayako's attitude changed completely. During this time, the person who was alone with Ms. Ayako The only person is Mr. Toba. Mr. Toba must have told Ms. Ayako about the first edition of the novel, using this as a condition that Ms. Ayako would not expose him. Then he used the trap that was originally used to deal with Mr. Fujisawa, and used it on Ms. Ayako Mr. Toba's luck is that Miss Ayako, like Mr. Fujisawa, always carries a lighter with her."

Fujisawa Toshiaki said: "So, in order to kill me, a third incident was planned."

Conan said in the voice of Hattori Heiji: "That's why there is such obvious evidence."

"What a joke," Kento Toba asked, "Tell me, what is the evidence?"

"Of course it is the evidence that the murderer is in the villa." Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "The plug was made by someone in the kitchen, and there were not many people in the villa afterwards, so it shows that the murderer is still in the villa. To tamper with that plug was very easy for Mr. Toba who went to the kitchen at that time. Therefore, if these three murders are connected in series, the only one who may commit the crime is Mr. Toba. "

"According to what you said, Mr. Kawazu can also be the murderer in the serial murder case. So many people don't have an alibi. How different is this from having an alibi." Kento Toba said, "And for a single incident For example, the first incident, the second incident, anyone in it is possible."

"That's right." Mao Li asked, "Boy, since you are so sure, you must have sufficient evidence in your hand, right?"

"Don't you know?" Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "Miss Ayako saw the thing in your room during the day yesterday."

Maori said, "Hey, no matter what Miss Ayako sees, there is no way to tell others."

Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice: "Please answer the first question, what is Sherlock Holmes best at. The second question, what is the name of Dr. Watson's wife."

Kento Toba asked back, "What, what did you suddenly ask?"

"Have you forgotten all of them? You should have done it too. Sherlock Holmes has a thousand questions." Conan asked in Hattori Heiji's voice. "Now it's question 241. Holmes used 'Dancing Doll' as a code , What is the content of the letter to the murderer?"

Kento Toba smiled and said, "Of course I remember this question, and the answer is 'Come here immediately'."

Nanako Shimizu said, "There is no such question on the test paper."

Fortune Teller Toda said: "The question about the 'dancing doll' should be that..."

Toshiaki Fujisawa said: "It should be the code word 'dancing doll' that appeared in the novel..."

Kawazu Ikuo said: "Write it all out."

"That's right. That's a super big problem that you can't forget even if you want to," Conan asked in Hattori Heiji's voice, "Isn't it a bit strange that you can't even remember this?"

"That, that is..." Kento Toba sweated.

"The reason why Miss Ayako came to your room yesterday was to confirm the answers on the test paper with you." Conan said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "But you were not in the room at that time, I think you were in order to Check the host's stiffness, and go to the garage."

Mori asked: "So, what is Miss Ayako looking at?"

"That's right, it's Mr. Toba's blank answer sheet that didn't write a word. Why didn't he answer? That's because it's useless even if he answered it. In other words, Mr. Toba knew it a long time ago and was responsible for correcting it. The sponsor of the test questions was no longer alive at that time." Conan said in the voice of Hattori Heiji, "Mr. Toba, if you think my words are speculative, please take out your answer sheet for everyone to see. , you can take it out now."

"This, this..." Kento Toba was speechless.

"Cough! Who said that you have to read the questions and do the questions? It's not an important thing stipulated by the law." Sonoko came over and smiled, "Now it's time for the queen of reasoning, Suzuki Sonoko, to appear."

"Yuan, Yuanzi!" Lan was taken aback.

This guy Yamazaki, Conan raised his triangular eyes. ...
