"Oh~"
"Brother Kudo, do you already know the methods used by the criminal?"
Inspector Megure's beard trembled with excitement, and he said impatiently: "Then tell us quickly!"
“This case is actually very simple.”
For some reason, Kudo Shinichi blurted out these words.
Perhaps, he didn't want to fall behind Sakaki Makoto.
When he said this, his face was full of confidence.
"The most difficult part of this case is the way the murderer committed the crime."
"As long as we crack his method, the criminal will be revealed."
Kudo Shinichi raised his fishing line and began his reasoning show.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
"Everyone, please look at this fishing line."
"The criminal used it to commit an impossible crime."
No one spoke, everyone was waiting for him to explain the technique.
"There were no bruises on the deceased's body, and no residue under his fingernails, indicating that he did not put up any effective resistance before his death."
"The only injury on the deceased's body was the strangulation mark on his neck, which was also the cause of his death."
"When Takizawa Akira was putting on makeup, the criminal strangled him with a rope from behind, breaking his tracheal cartilage and causing his death."
Kudo Shinichi hired a detective to work with him to begin reconstructing the crime scene.
The detective sat at the table, holding the lipstick, while Kudo Shinichi put the rope around his neck.
"But this is the dressing room exclusively for the deceased, Akira Takizawa. Outsiders cannot come in. Or rather, Akira Takizawa will not let them in."
"So the person who could have carried out this method must be someone the deceased knew, or someone he trusted."
Ishikawa Hide looked at Kawasaki Soun, his eyes gradually turned cold: "Kawasaki, I remember that in the club, you and Takizawa were the only ones who had the best relationship, and you often went out together."
Kawasaki Soun's face changed and he shook his head hurriedly: "Brother Ishikawa, it's not me!"
"I...there is no reason at all to kill him!"
"Who said no?!"
Fukuyama Gin stood up, pointed at Kawasaki Soun's nose and shouted, "I clearly heard you ask Takizawa to pay back the money last time! But Takizawa refused!"
"What did he say? If you don't want people to know about the drugs, then just keep supplying him with heroin, or he'll report you!"
"The charges for buying drugs and selling drugs are different!"
The police also focused their attention on Kawasaki Soun, and it was obvious that Kawasaki Soun was the most suspicious.
A few drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Kawasaki Soyun was a little panicked, his eyes full of fear.
"It's true that Takizawa once threatened me, but... I really didn't kill him!"
"That's right, the murderer of Takizawa Akira was not Mr. Kawasaki."
Kudo Shinichi put one hand in his pocket with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"It is because the criminal knew that there was a rift between Mr. Kawasaki and Takizawa Akira, and also saw Kawasaki Soun bringing drugs to Takizawa Akira, that he wanted to frame him for the crime."
"I'm right, Mr. Yuan."
Wow!
Everyone looked at Minamoto Shigeharu who was sitting aside drinking alone.
"impossible!"
Ishikawa Hide suddenly stood up and said, "How could Genji kill Takizawa!"
"Takizawa is the top star in the store!"
"If there's no Takizawa, the store's business will drop by who knows how much. By then, not only me, but also Genji will be punished by the team leader!"
"You said that Genji killed Takizawa, what evidence do you have?!"
Seeing Ishikawa Hide defending Minamoto Shigeharu, Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and pointed at Minamoto Shigeharu's waist.
"There are two strangulation marks on Takizawa Akira's neck, of different sizes and thicknesses. This shows that the murderer used two weapons."
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Gen, your belt still has Takizawa Akira's fingerprints on it."
"You didn't have time to wipe off your fingerprints because when you committed the crime, Mr. Fukuyama happened to be outside the dressing room. That's why Mr. Fukuyama heard the banging noise coming from the room."
"That was Akira Takizawa pounding the table, trying to tell Mr. Fukuyama that someone wanted to kill him, but unfortunately, his neck was strangled from behind, so he couldn't make a sound."
"The cosmetics scattered on the ground are the best evidence."
"After killing Takizawa Akira, you found a rope and hung up the body, creating the illusion that Takizawa Akira committed suicide after taking drugs, causing the deceased's hyoid bone to fracture."
Kudo Shinichi raised the fishing line and continued.
"If you want to get away with it, there are two ways. One is to provide a perfect alibi, which you can't do, so you chose the second option, which is to let Takizawa Akira commit suicide."
"You put one end of the fishing line through the key and make a loop, then pass the line around the drawer and clip the eyeshadow box onto the drawer, leaving a tiny gap. Then, holding both ends of the fishing line, walk out of the room, lock the door, wipe the fingerprints off the key, and then pull the end that is not tied to the key."
In order to recreate the scene, Kudo Shinichi personally walked out of the room with the fishing line, closed the door, and pulled the fishing line.
As he pulled the key, it slowly moved forward, passed through the crack in the door, entered the room, and headed towards the table.
When passing through the drawer, because the key was too large to pass through the gap, Kudo Shinji only exerted a little force and the buckle tied to the key fell off, and the key fell into the drawer smoothly.
Megure Jusan suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "So that's how it is!"
"In this way, the secret room can be formed!"
In the face of Megure Jusan's "intelligence", Kudo Shinichi did not hesitate to praise him.
