Chapter 1254 1262 [Gin, Let’s Go Together]
The people under the car were startled, turned around suddenly and rushed into the car.
Kawasaki Tetsuta, who was almost hit, was stunned for a while, and followed slowly.
…
Jiang Xia entered the carriage and took a quick glance, and saw the senior who was always late just now lying with his eyes closed next to the back door.
His head was leaning against Little Red Riding Hood's camera case, his forehead was swollen, and there was a hideous wound on the back of his head. The bottom of the heavy metal camera case was stained with blood, and there was also a fresh bloodstain on the floor of the back half of the carriage.
Jiang Xia walked closer to investigate the situation, then shook his head and said, "The person is dead."
He didn't mention calling the police.
Because just now, Suzuki Sonoko rushed out of the car in a panic and pressed 110, and called an ambulance. But now, the ambulance seems to be useless.
…
Not long after, Inspector Megure and his subordinates hurried over.
He was originally a little worried, but when he looked carefully, he saw that there was not only Jiang Xia in the crowd, but also Kudo Shinichi. He immediately felt relieved and very comfortable.
However, as he got closer, Inspector Megure was slightly startled. He looked at Kuroba Kaito and said, "It's you, the new classmate from last night."
Kuroba Kaito: “…Hello.” New classmate?
Why add the word "new"? It's as if he had joined some strange organization without knowing it...
…
Inspector Megure was relieved when he found out that there were two detectives on the scene, and he quickly started his daily work.
While writing down the information in his notebook, he asked, "The deceased is Masao Horii, 22 years old...Did he die when he braked? What were you doing at the time?"
The answers of several high school students were quite consistent: Tetsuta Kawasaki fell onto the track in front of the tram at that time. The scene was thrilling and they were all looking over there.
Not to mention the driver, who was always at the front and then rushed out of the car.
"So, the person who was in the back of the train with the deceased at that time..." Inspector Megure turned to look at the female college student, "was only Miss Shimizu?"
Shimizu Rumiko was stunned and waved her hands hurriedly: "I was indeed at the back at first, but then the car braked suddenly and I was thrown to the front. The old man helped me at that time." She turned her head and looked at Terai Huangzhisuke for help.
Terai Huang Zhisuke responded: "That's true."
"Hmm..." Inspector Megure stroked his broad chin, looked at the people in the car, and reasoned, "Since you all have alibis, plus the circumstances at the time, it's very clear - when the brakes were applied, Mr. Horikawa didn't stand firmly and unfortunately fell, hitting the back of his head on the sharp corner of the camera box, causing fatal injuries. Then the car vibrated, he was bounced up, and hit his forehead again. In the end it became like this."
“…”
Kuroba Kaito's eyes twitched: It seems that not only the police officers in the Second Investigation Section are incompetent, but the police officers in the First Investigation Section are the same.
Miwako Sato couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Inspector, the blood is on the bottom corner of the camera case. There are shock-proof straps on it, so it shouldn't flip over."
Kawasaki Tetsuta came to his senses after hearing this and looked at his precious camera box distressedly: "It must be innocent... Wait, come to think of it, when I tied the strap just now, I clearly tied two knots, but now there is only one left!"
His eyes became fierce, "Someone must have taken it off and used it to hit Senior Horikawa to death!"
Jiang Xia looked at his watch, recalling the departure time of the Shinkansen, and nodded in agreement:
"I think so too. The braking just now was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose - someone outside set a trap with steel wires, which would make Mr. Kawasaki fall onto the tracks when the train approaches, attracting the attention of passengers and the driver.
"That is to say, someone who knew about their club's photo-taking plan probably tampered with Kawasaki Tetsuta's ladder in advance. Then, while everyone's attention was drawn to the accident, they took off the heavy camera box and used it to beat the deceased to death.
"The deceased was attacked from behind and fell forward, hitting an obstacle and injuring his forehead. After he fell to the ground, the murderer hastily tied the box back to its original position. Finally, with the emergency brake, the body slid from the trunk to the location of the camera box. The murderer was also able to pretend to be unsteady and blend into the crowd."
“……” Although no one was named, there was only one person who took advantage of the chaos in the back of the car to hit someone.
Everyone looked at Shimizu Rumi in surprise.
Shimizu Rumi gritted her teeth: "I didn't..."
"Oh, right, the shape of the bloodstain here is a bit strange." Jiang Xia squatted down and pointed to another corner of the camera box. "It's hard for the deceased's blood to stick to this place. This may be the mark left by the murderer who accidentally cut his hand when he hit someone with it."
Kuroba Kaito sighed and looked at Shimizu Rumi: "There is a scratch on the dial of your watch, which was not there when you got on the bus."
And if it was scratched when someone was moving boxes and hitting someone, the trace could be detected on the camera box.
Shimizu Rumei: "..."
The "emergency brake accident" that she had spent so many days carefully planning did not even last five minutes before it was exposed in just a few words.
Shimizu Rumi knelt on the ground, raised her hand and scratched her long hair, and said bitterly: "Actually... he is my ex-boyfriend. We were already at the stage of discussing marriage. But a while ago, he suddenly said that he wanted to study abroad in Germany."
Kawasaki Tetsuta was holding his camera box distressed. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go with us? Why kill someone?" He was actually plotting against him and his camera box...
"I thought about going with him!" Shimizu Rumi gritted her teeth and said angrily, "But he never let me go. It took him several days to confess that his parents had arranged a marriage for him in Germany, so he was actually going to get married... I will never let this bastard who plays with people's hearts get his wish!"
…
When Shimizu Rumi was taken into the police car, Jiang Xia and Inspector Megure were chatting in a low voice.
At the same time, Gin was on his way to Osaka.
Passing by the station, he caught a glimpse of the scene in front of the station from afar and sighed in his heart: Uzo really can't stay idle for a moment. He has just been out for a short time and he has already made another case. There is still a long way to go. If he continues like this, when will he be able to reach Osaka?
As a person who always values efficiency, a thought quietly crossed Gin's mind:
Anyway, I have to drive there, and no one will see me on the road. How about picking him up at the same time?
But speaking of driving with Uzo…
Bourbon's figure slowly emerged in front of Gin.
After a moment, he was silent: "..." Forget it.
It's not that it's troublesome, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually unnecessary - anyway, when you get to the station, you only need to take one more Shinkansen to go to Osaka. There aren't many people committing crimes in that kind of closed space, so it won't take too long.
