Chapter 18221829 [Hei Ze with a Big Fortune]
Hashimoto Maya: “…” But on second thought, even Jiang Xia didn’t doubt herself, so it was obviously not her fault, but the problem was with the brain circuit of the colleague next to her.
Hashimoto Maya straightened her back silently: "I have told you so many times, I have been staying in the house and have never gone out."
Kurosawa Hema snorted: "When the first person was killed by the chandelier, all of us were in the restaurant. You were the only one who could move freely on the island."
Hashimoto Maya muttered, "Maybe there's another person hiding on the island."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong - letting a murderer who had never had any contact with anyone to kill people would turn it into a street robbery, which was completely inconsistent with careful reasoning and was not something Uzo would do.
In other words, the murderer must be among that group of students.
Hashimoto Maya scratched his head and changed his words: "The murderer must have found a way to blur the time of death. Let me ask you, you didn't see this girl being crushed to death by the chandelier, right?"
Kurosawa Kazuma: "Nonsense, who else would be there except the murderer? We were all in the restaurant at the time, and we heard the woman's scream when we were about to start eating."
"That's right. As long as you haven't seen it with your own eyes, there is room for falsehood." Under normal circumstances, Hashimoto Maya would not want to have any contact with these unthinking peripheral members of the organization, for fear that their blood would splatter on her new shoes when they were silenced.
But now, looking at the gone Taro Izuka, Maya Hashimoto has fully realized what it means to value harmony.
He showed great patience: "In my opinion, the murderer must have found a way to blur the actual time of death. It just so happens that this large chandelier pressed the person down, making it difficult to observe the condition of the body up close, and naturally there is no way to determine how long she had been dead."
As he was talking, he remembered something and turned to look at the school doctor of Teitan Junior High School who had followed him at some point.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Speaking of which, although it is difficult to move the chandelier with its sharp edges, if you try to observe from the gap when the case just happened, it is not completely impossible to confirm the condition of the body... This school doctor is being lazy, so unprofessional.
Just after giving the other person a critical look, the young school doctor who was wandering around the crime scene with his hands in his pockets suddenly turned around and looked over here, as if he had eyes on his back.
The two sides looked at each other, and Dr. Xinchu pushed up his glasses and smiled at him.
For some reason, Hashimoto Maya felt uncomfortable. He nodded to the other party as a greeting, then stopped looking over there and watched Jiang Xia punch in to collect clues.
After walking around the stage for a while, Jiang Xia went backstage thoughtfully.
He walked around there, squatted in front of a piece of debris, turned around and waved at Kurosawa and Ma: "Does it look familiar?"
"?" Kurosawa and Ma walked closer in confusion, looked down, and saw a small piece of cracked black plastic.
"This is..." He suddenly understood something, "a fragment of Zhu Zuka's flashlight! The night before yesterday, he tripped over a rock and a crack appeared on the tail of the flashlight. But since it was still usable, he continued to use it."
Jiang Xia nodded: "It seems that he was killed here."
As he said that, he stood up, picked up the murderous aura stuck on the table leg, and rolled it up with his back to the crowd. This should have fallen off after Izuka Taro was hit hard. Some of the murderous aura was here, and some of it was hanging on him and taken to the bathroom of the old hotel.
Jiang Xia: "..." It can be seen that he is a member of the organization with a bad temper, and his murderous aura is very good. If it can be mixed with vodka, it will be better... It's a pity that this Taro was unlucky and died too early.
He mourned for his colleague again for half a second, then turned around and said: "Let's go, there is another scene."
Finally, they arrived at the place where Eimi Konda was hanged.
When he got here, Jiang Xia didn't look at the corpse, but looked at another place.
He used the tip of his shoe to push aside a large blade of grass, looked down at the rocks below, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Were the rocks on this slope so smooth before?"
Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." Of course not. This is the prop I polished overnight and prepared to use to throw you to death...By the way, do you have a peephole installed on your shoe? You can see even if you cover it with grass leaves.
He muttered to himself, scratching his head and pretending to be stupid: "I really didn't notice this. It may be soaked by water after the rain, so it is very slippery."
Hashimoto Maya took a look at the structure here and immediately understood. She looked at Kurosawa Kazuma silently: "..." This guy is really lucky.
Then he took two steps away as if nothing had happened, implicitly indicating that all the trouble had nothing to do with him.
Conan looked at the stone, then looked up at Kurosawa and Ma, and pushed his glasses thoughtfully, and a flash of light flashed across the plain lenses.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird for a moment.
Fortunately, Jiang Xia seemed to be only slightly concerned and did not hold on to it. He looked back at the scene of the "suicide by hanging": "I roughly understand what happened in these cases... Let's go back to the restaurant first, in case the murderer has other targets."
…
According to Suzuki Sonoko, the ship will arrive today.
So at this time, everyone has gathered in the restaurant, preparing to have breakfast - speaking of breakfast, we have to thank the late Mr. Izuka, who cooked twice and watched the island for half a day, then began to find it troublesome, so he baked a lot of bread and put it in the refrigerator, intending to use this to make ends meet.
So even though the chef was gone, everyone still had their meals on time and munched on bread in silence in the restaurant.
Mao Lilan sighed: "It's really a nightmare experience."
Suzuki Sonoko sighed along with her, but seemed to be worried about something and didn't say anything.
Mao Lilan saw her like this and wondered, "What's wrong?" It was rare to see Yuanzi so quiet. Normally, even if she was sad when she encountered a murder case, she would calm down after a few hours. Now, it's been a whole night, why...
Suzuki Sonoko hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and whispered to her, "I always feel that the ending of this incident is too weird - including the murderer who jumped into the sea in a panic last night, a total of four people died! If it were written as a mystery story, it would be a thick book, but the ending is so bland. And we don't even know who the murderer is. He is like a shadow that was summoned and disappeared after taking revenge."
After saying this, she suddenly had an idea: "Right! Why don't we adapt this story for the school festival? But the ending must be changed..."
"Zheng——" The sound of a bowstring interrupted the rest of her words.
In the confused eyes of the two high school girls, a black shadow flashed by in their peripheral vision.
——The crossbow that was used for decoration on the wall was placed flat on the cabinet at some point. At this moment, a crossbow arrow was shot out with a strong murderous intent.
