Chapter 7 Extra

Although everyone knows that "Anton Yayoi" is the murderer in this case, have you thought of the method? Isn't it a bit complicated? Here is the case sorting link:

First of all, Yayoi Andong set up a trap to enter the ritual room first, wait for Shinzo Endo to enter, and then hit Endo on the back of the head with the demon statue to kill him. Then set up the scene and pretend that he died because he stepped on blood, fell and hit the demon statue. At the same time, the blood that had been frozen a few days ago was used as ice to delay the post-mortem sign of the body, instead of the blood that was just bought this morning. The blood that was just bought this morning was placed in his own home, which is why Thanatos smelled a fishy smell when he returned home. And because he was worried that someone would follow him all the time that day and he couldn't deal with it, Yayoi Andong threw the recorder into the decoration at the door of the villa during his previous visit, and set it to play at 5:22 pm on April 3. After making preparations, he went to the villa to meet up with everyone.

An unexpected incident occurred. Endo accidentally found the recorder, and when he heard a scream similar to his own, Endo wondered if someone wanted to kill him. Although he considered that the person who visited on April 3 was the murderer, he did not expect that three people had made appointments to visit, so he had to make some other plans. Endo's plan was to tell everyone that he would go to the ceremony room alone after 1 pm to see who would come to see him alone, but in fact he hid in the study at 11 am to check the surveillance outside to see who wanted to harm him.

But Yayoi Andong, who arrived earlier, discovered this situation. He parked his car in the back mountain, charged the refrigerator, and waited until 1 p.m. to enter the villa. At the same time, he knew that there must be a reason behind Endo's strange behavior, and he confirmed that his recorder was missing when he passed by. So he chose to leave quickly after entering the ceremony room, hoping that Endo in the study would mistakenly think that it was safe and then go out. In fact, he returned to the ceremony room through the window and waited for Endo to go out to check.

At the same time, Koshimizu and Yamada were a pair of co-murderers (not really a couple). Koshimizu had actually pretended to agree to be Endo Shinzo's mistress and called him out for a tryst. This was also the reason why Yayoi Ando was the first to reveal Koshimizu's motive for murder. He had Endo's memory and knew that it was Koshimizu who asked Endo out. It was unknown whether the others would take action today, but Koshimizu must have a plan. Endo Shinzo, who had not seen the murderer coming to his door, let down his guard. At the same time, he thought that Koshimizu, a woman, was not enough to hurt him, but just in case, he took the paper cutter on the table. According to the plan of Koshimizu and Yamada, Koshimizu killed Endo at the entrance of the villa, and Yamada threw the body back to the villa, so that neither of them could meet the time conditions for going to the villa to kill, but with their cooperation, it was possible.

After receiving a call from Koshimizu, Endo Shinzo left the study. He replaced the video of 1 o'clock today with the video of 1 o'clock before, to cover up the fact that he entered the room at 11 o'clock instead of 1 o'clock in the afternoon. However, because he was not proficient in computers, he accidentally covered the video of Ando Yayoi leaving at 1:03. Then Endo, who had just left the house, was attacked by Ando Yayoi. He was always on guard against being killed, and Endo, who was holding a paper cutter, also began to fight back. During the fight between the two, Ando Yayoi grabbed the paper cutter and stabbed Endo's heart. Endo's scream before his death attracted the three people in the garden.

In order to protect Yayoi Ando, ​​Koshimizu chose to lie and said that she closed the door. In fact, what they heard was the real scream of Shinzo Endo, and the time was 5:23. Only Koshimizu, who was wearing a watch, discovered the time error, so she realized that it was Yayoi Ando who did it. Because the recorder was played at 5:22, the scream at 23 could only be Shinzo Endo himself, so she chose to stand on Yayoi Ando's side. Because in this situation, the only person who could commit the crime was Yayoi Ando.

But Thanatos did not have the memory of Yayoi Andong, so he did not know to climb out the window and leave in time, nor did he drive away the car he bought.

In fact, the key to solving the case is that the actual time when Endo Shinzo was killed was 5:23, but Koshimizu protected Ando Yayoi. Another piece of evidence is that Ando Yayoi has no record of taking a taxi, which is a direct link between him and the abandoned car, and the blood in his room. However, of these three key pieces of evidence, one was covered up, one was ignored, and one was destroyed. There is also a very small point. In fact, frozen internal organs are different from fresh internal organs, but the identification department has frozen and preserved the internal organ slices, so this physical evidence has also been destroyed. As for the surveillance issue, Thanatos, who has Endo Shinzo's memory, naturally knows that the footage of him going out has been covered, so he did not touch the surveillance. If it had not been covered, Thanatos would have changed the surveillance.

The above is the whole process of the case. The case is very complicated, because everyone has their own little thoughts, and the protagonist with the most perspectives cannot solve his own case, so I didn’t write it.

Conan had actually guessed Anton Yayoi's method, but he couldn't imagine that there would be such a magical method in the world to "make a corpse disappear in one second", so it was impossible for him to break it.
