Amid the sound of red and blue sirens, Juzo Megure led his men from the First Investigation Section to the Nichiuri TV station.
The moment they stepped onto the rooftop, they were shocked by the scene before them.
The death was miserable, the body with strangely twisted limbs, the deputy director was cornered by Maori Kogoro, and his face was pale...
"What's going on?"
Megure Jusan was stunned for a moment:
"Has the criminal been caught?"
"Yes, Inspector Megure, the criminal is him, Ichiro Oda, deputy director of Nichiren Television!"
Maori Kogoro said with a solemn oath:
"At the time of the incident, I asked him where he was, but he said he was in the office, and his secretary was out on official business and couldn't testify for him!"
"It's so easy to kill Saito Aida with the time and motive!"
"Brother Maori, wait a minute..."
Megure Jusan and his companions who had just arrived had not figured out the situation yet:
"As far as we know, the surveillance did not capture the deputy director leaving the office..."
"And in the morning, he signed a contract with Brother Makoto Sakaki. So how did he bypass the surveillance and reach the rooftop?"
"Just climb up through the window!"
Maori Kogoro sneered and pointed at the rooftop fence:
“Look!”
"There are traces of ropes on the fence!"
"As long as Ichiro Ota tied a rope to the rooftop fence in advance and hung it outside the window of his office, he could wait for his secretary to go out and then climb up to the rooftop along the rope to kill the deceased unexpectedly!"
"In order to prevent others from seeing him climbing the rope, the deputy director sent most of the station's staff out to interview him early in the morning. That way, no one could stop him!"
"Nonsense!"
The deputy director stiffened his neck and shouted:
"Mr. Maori, I have always respected you, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
"Everyone knows that Nichimi TV has been doing a lot of interviews lately and they don't have enough staff. Besides, it was the station director who sent them out, not me!"
"And you only found traces of rope binding on the fence, but no rope. If I committed the crime, how could I bring the rope down with me when I returned to the office?"
"ah...."
Under the gaze of everyone, Kogoro Mori was stunned.
He hasn't thought about it that much yet.
"Brother Maori..."
Megure Jusan sighed:
"When will you change your habit of believing everything you hear..."
change?
After the change, he is still Kogoro Mouri!
Conan curled his lips in disdain; he was already accustomed to his future father-in-law's way of reasoning.
Sometimes I can’t hear it, but I still miss it!
Without even collecting all the clues, they rashly started to reason. Regardless of the final result, just looking at the evidence...
It’s not enough!
If you want the prisoner to confess his guilt, you must first destroy his psychological defenses with perfect reasoning. A collapsed person will cry bitterly, and according to custom, he should also get down from his seat.
There are three steps for normal detectives to solve a case:
1. Collect evidence.
2. Reconstruct the criminal’s methods and motives and make inferences.
3. The prisoner cried bitterly, mourning his crimes and repenting his memories.
After the trilogy was completed, the case was solved, but...
Kogoro Mori's reasoning is very interesting. He does not play by the rules. The order is usually 213. He first relies on his own conjecture to screen the criminals, and then looks for evidence.
The error rate of this approach is as high as 80%. The remaining 20% is because there is only one suspect and the blind cat catches a dead mouse.
but...
Occasionally, Kogoro Mouri's unnatural reasoning can become a key to solving the mystery for Conan who is struggling to figure it out.
For example, just now, Kogoro Mouri pointed out that there were traces of rope binding on the fence, a detail that Conan had not yet checked.
The forensics team picked up the plastic bag containing the fishing line and began testing it with the help of advanced tools.
Not long after...
"Inspector Megure, cyanide toxin residue was found on the fishing line!"
"What?!"
His breathing stagnated, Maori Kogoro was dumbfounded, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was about to touch the fishing line with his bare hands, if he had come into contact with cyanide without knowing it, and smoked a cigarette...
Oh my...
With a sudden shiver, he felt that the flowers were infinitely red and the sun was infinitely warm.
"What deep hatred did the prisoner have with the deceased?"
When Megure Jusan found out that there was cyanide on the fishing line, he couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"Strangulation is not enough, but poison is used?!"
"I'm afraid the criminal wanted to ensure that Saito Aida could be killed."
Sakaki Makoto, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said:
"Fishing line coated with cyanide can be fatal even if it only scratches the skin."
"so..."
“Cyanide is a safety measure.”
“Why do you need insurance?”
Megure Jusan frowned and said:
"You've already strangled him by the neck. You can kill him with just a little more force. Why bother?"
“What if I get scratched by the fishing line?”
“Insurance is for the unexpected.”
With his eyes narrowed, Sakaki Makoto said quietly:
"Since the criminal dared to smear cyanide on the fishing line, it means he was confident that he would not be implicated."
"When fighting, anything can happen. If you want to ensure your own safety..."
"As long as he doesn't appear at the crime scene, it's fine."
Everyone, including Megure Jusan, was a little dizzy for a moment.
