In the room on the second floor of the villa, Tomofumi Tanaka's brother was lying powerlessly on the recliner.
No matter how Inspector Megure shouted, there was no response. After all, the other party had already become a cold corpse.
Tanaka Tomofumi, who was alive and had the same face as the corpse, also had cold hands and feet, but compared to his dead and desperate heart, this chill was nothing.
"I'm sorry, but the smell of the dead is somewhat different from that of the living." Tang Ze shrugged and said, "Although ordinary people can't detect it because it's just died, I'm not an ordinary person.
Although you cleaned the body very well, the bloody smell is as pungent and obvious as perfume to my nose.
The same goes for the bathroom; the smell of blood mixed with shower gel is truly unpleasant.”
"You... who are you?!" After hearing what Tang Ze said, Tomofumi Tanaka fell to the ground and looked at Tang Ze as if he was a monster.
"I'm just an ordinary criminal with a slightly more sensitive nose." Tang Ze chuckled softly and said, "There are a lot of people like me in the world. For every 20 million or so, there's one guy with a sense of smell like me."
What Tang Ze said also made Inspector Megure and others less surprised. Just as he opened his long speech, even Inspector Megure, Conan and others looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"After walking around the room and getting a feel for the surroundings, I pretty much understand the scheme you've set up."
After explaining, Tang Ze spoke again to draw everyone's attention back to the case, "You saw Conan and the others found the body. In order to avoid our questioning, you quickly came up with a bold plan that allowed you to hide the body.
First, he cleaned the bloodstains in the bathroom, then put a bathrobe on the body, placed your brother's body on the recliner on the second floor in a sleeping position, and then waited for our arrival.
Similarly, when you came out to greet us, you were also wearing a bathrobe, disguising yourself as your brother.
After all, you two are twins. Apart from the beard and glasses, there is basically no big change in your appearance, so you can easily hide it.
Then you pretended to be impatient, took the opportunity to get angry and went straight back to the room upstairs. Then, while we were searching the house, you changed your clothes and climbed over the high wall with the help of the big tree in the backyard.
Although the riverbank trail outside the high wall is only forty centimeters wide, it is completely passable if people walk sideways along the wall.
After escaping successfully, you pretended to have just returned from work, returned home again, and resumed your original identity as your younger brother."
"So, Tang Zejun, the TV suddenly turning off and the fire when the vase broke were all fake?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.
"Ah, that's about right. For something like a TV, you just need to set the timer to turn it off beforehand and then use your acting skills."
Tang Ze explained: "In that situation, the TV was turned off right after he complained, so we naturally thought that the deceased had woken up.
Similarly, coupled with his acting, he pushed us out of the room so quickly that we didn't have time to take a closer look, did we? "
"As for that angry curse..." Tang Ze looked at Conan and smiled: "Even Conan reacted to this trick, right?"
Conan heard what Tang Ze said and nodded cutely: "Yeah! In order to make us think that his brother is still alive, the uncle used the video recorder and the mobile phone in his pocket to put on a good show.
First, record the angry and abusive words on the answering machine, then use your mobile phone to switch to the caller column to make the call, and then adjust the ringtone to silent mode.
And when Yuan Tai broke the vase, I think it helped you a lot, and it just gave you a reasonable excuse for that rant."
Conan smiled while holding the phone and said, "Of course, Uncle also took a risk. He had to secretly pick up the microphone and answer the call when we weren't paying attention, because if he didn't do that, the recording of him cursing would reappear.
Of course, just a slight touch to the phone to get the handset off the base."
After hearing Conan complete the last part of the reasoning, Tang Ze couldn't help but applaud him in his heart and also gave himself a thumbs up.
Although Tang Ze had deduced most of the previous reasonings based on his sense of smell and had locked onto the murderer in advance, he knew the other party's swearing trick but not the reason behind it.
His only impression of landline phones was that they could make and receive calls. As for other functions, Tangze was not familiar with them. After all, many functions on the Japanese phones were different from those on the ones in his hometown.
Although the original body had memories of this, Tang Ze had never actually come into contact with it. He was also afraid that his reasoning might not be rigorous enough and there might be omissions, so he simply left it to Conan to complete this last part of the reasoning.
On the surface, it seems that Karasawa was too disdainful to explain this little trick, so he let a child solve this little mechanism and mocked Tomofumi Tanaka at the same time.
So we can see that after listening to all the reasoning, Tomofumi Tanaka's face has turned ashen, but more of it is despair.
"It's all that bastard's fault! That scumbag eats and drinks for free and lives in my house all day long, acting like he's just sitting around doing nothing!!"
Tomofumi Tanaka roared in a rage, "He found out I was forging stocks to make money, and he said he wouldn't betray me, but he's going to have to rely on me for his whole life!!
I'm getting married soon!! So I have to kick this guy out!!
He thought about me and I got so angry I just smashed his head with a golf club!!”
"In the final analysis, you were the one who made the mistake first." Tang Ze said calmly after listening to him, "If you hadn't been possessed by evil spirits and committed a crime, how could you have given your brother a handle to threaten you?
If you are an upright person, then you can have the right to kick your brother out of the house. So it was you who made the mistake in the first place and gave him the opportunity, right?
Stop complaining about your fate!!”
The scolding while lying down silenced Tomofumi Tanaka, and he was eventually taken into the police car like a puppet.
"Officer Karasawa is so handsome!!" Ayumi rushed over with her eyes shining.
Mitsuhiko also looked excited, "It feels like a superpower!"
"It's better than a police dog's nose!!"
"Hey!! Kid, are you praising me or scolding me?!" Tang Ze rolled his eyes in annoyance when he heard Yuan Tai's words.
"Hehe... in a way, it really is a police dog..." Conan complained in his heart: "And it's a human-shaped police dog that is more useful than a police dog..."
