Chapter 35 The Secret Behind
Seeing Conan say that Ms. Miyazaki's behavior was strange, he turned his gaze to Ms. Miyazaki, and then frowned slightly as if he had discovered something: "Why do you think her behavior is strange?"
Conan didn't notice the change in Kazukage Yayoi's expression. He just kept talking to himself, "Every time the police officer said they wanted to search her, she would make some sudden moves. The police said they wanted to search Mr. Shironaka, and she helped him refute the police. When Mr. Shironaka agreed to the search, she immediately found an excuse to leave. As soon as they said they wanted to search everyone, she spilled the coffee. It's like she's afraid of being searched. Anyone who is afraid of being searched... is most likely the murderer."
"But when the ice water was poured on her just now, her clothes didn't change color." He Jing Yayoi reminded.
"I know. I was thinking, maybe it's not temperature change, but a similar principle... such as light change. I was thinking, if Ms. Miyazaki is not afraid of the act of body search, but the place of body search. For example, toilets and storage rooms... all have ultraviolet disinfection lamps."
"Moreover, light change lasts longer than temperature change. As long as it is exposed to ultraviolet light, it can change color evenly. This perfectly solves the problem we just raised. As for Matsumoto's card, the murderer may have seen it change color under the light and mistakenly thought it was a light-changing card, so he took it away." Conan thought for a while, pointed at Officer Nagasawa who was packing the suspect's clothes and said, "Let's go get some clothes and try it, then we'll know."
"Okay." He Jing Yasheng pushed the wheelchair to Officer Nagasawa and said to him, "Officer Nagasawa, it will be too troublesome for the cleaning lady to splash water here. Why don't you try the toilet?"
Officer Nagasawa nodded, "What you said makes sense, then let's go to another men's restroom~" The men's restroom here is the crime scene, and he, a male officer, is embarrassed to go into the women's restroom. He Jing Yayoi looked back sideways and motioned for Conan to follow, so Conan carefully followed the police into the restroom.
"Hmm...it seems there's no problem, there's no discoloration. Why is this happening?" Officer Nagasawa tried dropping ice water on the clothes, but nothing happened. He scratched his head in confusion.
Conan looked at the UV mosquito repellent in the bathroom and his face turned ugly. "Not only is there no temperature change, but there is no light change either... Am I wrong? It shouldn't be like this? By the way, Yayoi brother, can you tell me what kind of magic Matsumoto is performing? Maybe he is not referring to the playing cards themselves, but the playing card magic."
Kazukage thought for a moment and replied, "When I went there, he performed a card change. If I must explain it in detail, it was a double flip, a duck change, and a finger snap change."
"Huh? Matsumoto actually learned the duck trick?" Conan's eyes widened. "That trick is difficult, isn't it? Once the two cards are separated in the air, it will be very embarrassing."
"Hmm... so he taped the two cards together"
"..." Conan looked at Kazukage Yayoi speechlessly, not knowing what to complain for a moment. Magicians rely on hand speed, while Matsumoto is betting that the audience is blind. "Didn't they see that the two cards are stuck together? Isn't it normal to pick up the cards at the end of a card change to show everyone the back of the cards?" If the two cards are stuck together, wouldn't both sides be front?
"Well... the duck change is to turn half a circle in the air, turn the card on the back to the front, and then turn the card on the front to the back. Matsumoto also put glue on the card that was originally on the front, so when it flies back to the deck, the card that was originally on the front turns to the back, and then the card at the bottom of the deck is also glued. In this way, when they pick it up, they see the back of the first card in the deck." Kazaki Yayoi stood behind Matsumoto the whole time and saw his technique clearly.
"...The lights in the KTV were dim enough that I couldn't even see the three layers of cards... Wait! Three layers!" Conan suddenly realized, "Not only is there a joker missing from the deck, but there's also a billboard missing! When Matsumoto left, he took away the three tampered cards!"
Because Kazukage Yayoi was standing behind Matsudamoto, she didn't see what the first card on the deck was. Only then did she react when she heard Conan say, "If there were two billboards in the card box, he could put the two billboards on the top of the deck. In this way, the first card would be stuck by the flying cards, and the next card that was exposed would also be a billboard. Then he took away the three cards that had been tampered with. The murderer took the cards because he saw that these were three stacked cards, not because the cards themselves were temperature- and light-changing."
Then they both said in unison: "So, the murderer's clothes are three layers!"
Seeing Conan turned around and rushed to the men's room, He Jing Yayoi hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, let me do it. You don't need to knock out Detective Maori to solve the case, so leave it to me."
It doesn't matter. Anyway, the case can be solved, and Jing Yayoi also has half the credit, so Conan nodded: "I guess the crack is somewhere like the pocket. Check carefully. If you can find it, this will be the decisive evidence."
Kazukage Yayoi shook her head and retorted: "It's not conclusive evidence. Just because she wears the same clothes as the murderer doesn't mean she is the murderer."
Conan was speechless for a moment. He thought for a moment, "If the hood has not been processed, there is a high probability that her hair is on it. If she not only has the same clothes as the murderer, but also has the same hood as the murderer, this is definitely conclusive evidence, right?"
Kazukage Yayoi nodded, "Then this must be decisive evidence, but did you find the hood?"
Conan smiled confidently, "Well, it's easy to think of it once you know about the clothes. After all, people's thoughts are always similar. Since she used two layers of clothes to cover the inner layer, I guess the hood was covered in a similar way. For example..." Conan's eyes stayed on the trash can in the toilet.
Wow, isn't this a bit too dirty, is it so hard to spell it out?
Noticing Kazukage Yayoi's expression, Conan rolled his eyes, "I'm not talking about the toilet trash can. She had to wear it when she went out, so how could it be the toilet's? The trash cans in the private rooms and vending machines are all within the surveillance field of view. She couldn't have put a bag over them openly. I guess she stuffed it in a drink can. I'll go and look, there will be residue of her saliva on the drink can."
Seeing Conan leave, Jing Yayoi also went to talk to Officer Nagasawa, "Inspector Nagasawa, I just thought of something. Some clothes can be worn on both sides. Is there a possibility that the murderer's clothes are three-sided? Can I check it?"
Officer Nagasawa hesitated, but nodded, "Okay."
Kazukage Yayoi picked up Miss Miyazaki's coat and searched carefully along the edge. Just as Conan said, she found an opening in the left pocket. She turned it out along the opening and really found the third layer.
"This! There really is a third floor! But, the color isn't yellow?" Officer Nagasawa wondered.
Without hesitation, Kazukage Yayoi picked up the clothes and pointed them at the ultraviolet mosquito repellent lamp in the bathroom. Under the light, the clothes gradually changed from white to light yellow, and finally to the same bright yellow as in the surveillance video.
Officer Nagasawa's eyes widened in disbelief: "This! This dress can actually change color out of thin air?"
Yayoi Kazukage shook her head: "The color will not change out of thin air. It's just that the energy of ultraviolet light opens the photosensitive molecular bonds, that is, jumps from invisible light to visible light. The stronger the ultraviolet light, the more obvious the light source absorbed by the photosensitizer..."
Seeing Officer Nagasawa's confused face, He Jing Yayoi explained: "For example, if I click to hide the app on my phone, you, officer, can't see it. If I unhide it, you can see it, but this does not mean that this app appears out of thin air. Energy, like data, can be transmitted, just..."
"No, no, no, please stop talking. It gives me a headache." Officer Changze rubbed his brow and interrupted, "Please just tell me the result."
Kazukage Yayoi shrugged. Seeing Conan standing at the door of the toilet, shaking a coffee can at him, he said to Officer Nagasawa, "This is Miss Miyazaki's clothes. Please ask her to explain it. Also, please take samples of the saliva and fingerprints on the surface of this can, and the hair on the hood inside, and do a DNA comparison with Miss Miyazaki's."
"Okay! I understand this. I'll call everyone to the bathroom right away~" Officer Nagasawa was relieved to hear that he finally understood, and quickly called everyone to the bathroom. However, considering the limited area of the bathroom, Officer Nagasawa only let Miss Miyazaki in for a confrontation.
After everyone gathered, Kazukage Yayoi briefly told the story about the clothes and the hood. Although the identification results had not yet come out, Miss Miyazaki already knew that she had no way to defend herself, so she sighed and admitted her crime.
"Miyazaki? Why?" Jonaka Yuta was puzzled. "You shouldn't know him at all, right? How long have you been in Tokyo?"
Ms. Miyazaki smiled bitterly, "It is true that today is the first day I saw him. As for why I killed him, this child also knows it, right? After all, I put it out in the open."
He Jing Yayoi nodded, "Drugs, right? Not only did you deliberately turn up his sleeves, you also threw the syringe on the ground. Anyone who saw it would know that he was killed while injecting drugs. You want the police to investigate along the drug line. Do you have anything else to say? Say it quickly..." Otherwise it will be too late.
Ms. Miyazaki curled her lips and whispered, "Yes, I just want the police to investigate the drugs. It is said that he is the most difficult drug dealer to catch in the whole of Tokyo. Since the police can't catch him, I will catch him myself... As for the reason for killing him, it is because my brother was addicted to drugs by him. My brother, who was originally a favored child, had a drug addiction during the withdrawal period and strangled his parents who tried to control him. My brother also committed suicide after he sobered up. My family has been ruined by him, and my life... there is no hope..."
Ms. Miyazaki showed an ugly expression, half-smiled, and simply covered her face and cried. She cried louder and louder, and then slowly squatted on the ground. She had worked so hard for three years and finally got a good result. At least, she killed Okubo, whom she wanted to kill the most. It was a pity...
"Dad, Miss Miyazaki is so pitiful..." Mao Lilan frowned, "It's obviously because the deceased was so bad. Drugs harmed Miss Miyazaki's family."
Uncle Maori patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "You can't say that. If you have any clues, you should notify the police instead of killing people yourself. Miss Miyazaki is very pitiful, but she could have avoided killing people."
Seeing this, Officer Nagasawa sighed helplessly. He felt very sympathetic towards Miss Miyazaki, but as it was his duty, he had no choice but to take out the handcuffs and try to handcuff Miss Miyazaki.
As Officer Nagasawa approached, he suddenly saw a cold light approaching him. It turned out that Miss Miyazaki suddenly pulled out a folding knife from under her trousers and stabbed Officer Nagasawa directly. Officer Nagasawa reacted quickly and stepped back, trying to avoid the sudden knife. He rolled on the ground and retreated to the toilet door. Uncle Maori quickly helped him up.
Officer Nagasawa was so overwhelmed by adrenaline that he could not sense whether he was stabbed or not, and was in a state of fear. He covered his stomach with one hand, his voice trembling, but he still stood firmly in front of the others.
“Leave quickly!”
Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone left the toilet. Nakajima and Kobayashi even remembered Kazuya Kei at this critical moment and pushed the wheelchair away. Only the Maori family and the police stayed where they were.
"Officer Nagasawa!" Ran Mao Li saw that Miss Miyazaki's first strike failed, and she moved forward to prepare for the second strike. She immediately stepped forward to pull Officer Nagasawa away, and the tip of the knife rubbed the tip of Officer Nagasawa's nose, leaving a bloody mark. Ran Mao Li turned sideways and kicked high, knocking the sharp knife out of Miss Miyazaki's hand. Seeing the sharp knife fall, Officer Nagasawa trembled and approached Miss Miyazaki with a gun.
"Put your hands up! Where I can see them!"
Ms. Miyazaki didn't listen at all and yelled hysterically: "How can I listen to you black policemen? You are all in cahoots with them!"
As a newly transferred officer in Tokyo, Officer Nagasawa was confused. "What are you talking about? Calm down, wait for us to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. No, if you are worried, you can go to the Police Department, we will..."
While Officer Nagasawa was trying to explain, Miss Miyazaki rolled forward and snatched the folding knife from the ground. Seeing Miss Miyazaki taking action again, Mao Lilan subconsciously raised her leg to attack her. Unexpectedly, Miss Miyazaki did not move forward, but retreated to the wall, and then suddenly inserted the knife into the socket. With a crisp "pop", the whole KTV fell into darkness due to the power outage, and everyone's actions had to be stagnant.
Conan reacted quickly and turned on the flashlight on his watch. He saw a beam of light in the darkness slashing quickly towards Mao Lilan. Conan was dumbfounded and shouted:
"Lan! Be careful!"
