Chapter 2060 Chapter 2068 [Case Closed]
When Jiang Xia heard this, he couldn't help but check his own ghosts: There was no ghost that could set off ghost fire, but there was one that could prevent people from being burned by the ghost fire.
By the way: "Why don't you set off will-o'-the-wisp?"
Miss Spider was sitting on his lap drinking iced tea. Hearing what he said, she looked up at him and said: You are already an adult psychic, don't act unreasonably.
Jiang Xia looked at the quarreling brother and sister with regret, and found that even in the quarrel, the murderous intent they emitted was quite limited, so he interrupted and said, "I think I know who the murderer is."
Officer Gao Mu was sitting on the sofa next to him, planning to take a nap. Suddenly hearing this, he forced himself to ask, "Really?"
Jiang Xia nodded and patted Hashimoto Maya next to him: "After Mr. Hashimoto's ingenious reasoning just now, we already know that the murderer is very likely an acquaintance of the deceased."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” I was clearly hiding behind the sofa, how did you see me?
...Could it be that someone betrayed my whereabouts?
His eyes fell on Curacao.
Curacao: “…” Does this person have paranoid delusions?
Forget it, considering his current situation, I won’t bother with him.
The brief confrontation between the two men had nothing to do with the righteous police and detectives standing nearby.
Jiang Xia quietly poked the ghosts to let them hurry up and collect the goods, and continued without interruption: "In fact, when we heard the gunshots and broke into the old lady's room on the second floor, the room was pitch black and we couldn't see anything clearly.
"But on the other hand, the situation at the scene shows that after the old lady noticed the intruder, she calmly took a few steps towards the window - this means that the deceased could actually see the murderer's face before she died."
A group of people were stunned when they heard this.
"You mean..." Furukawa Koji asked in disbelief, "My mother has night vision?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Miwako Sato looked at him speechlessly, not knowing for a moment whether this guy was interfering with the investigation or simply had a bad brain. She corrected him: "This means that when the victim was attacked, it was not completely dark, so the lights were not on in the room..."
As she was talking, she realized something was wrong and looked at Jiang Xia: "If the person was killed before dark, then what about the gunshots you heard not long ago?"
Jiang Xia: “That was a fake voice used by the murderer to forge an alibi - the gunshot we heard was not a real gunshot, but just the noise coming from the TV.
"At the time, a TV station was broadcasting a detective film with a shooting scene in it. The murderer managed to make us hear the gunshot and pretend that the shooting happened at that time."
Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment: "I have an impression of the film you mentioned, but..."
When she was called to the police station by an emergency call, she was actually watching TV in her office: "But the show premiered today, and no one knows when the gunshots went off. How could the murderer use this time accurately?"
When Furukawa Koji heard this, he suddenly understood something. He jumped up and looked at his sister in shock.
Jiang Xia also looked over and said to Sato Miwako, "I don't know if you noticed, but this Miss Furukawa Etsuko is the president of a film production company. The film you mentioned happened to be produced by her company."
Jiang Xia flipped through the information that Hashimoto Maya had just checked: "The fake gunshot we heard was at around 7:30 pm, 7:29:32 to be exact. It corresponds exactly to the time of the shooting in the video of the Furukawa Miss Club."
"So the murderer is my temporary client, Ms. Etsuko Furukawa."
Etsuko Furukawa clenched her fists tightly, her face looking extremely ugly.
Jiang Xia started from the beginning: "Ms. Furukawa is the daughter of the deceased and is very familiar with the layout of the room. Before the incident, Miss Furukawa tuned the TV to a specific channel, turned up the volume to the maximum, and then turned off the TV.
"She then hired a detective to find the perfect excuse for herself to come look for her mother, and also found an eyewitness.
"Before the detectives arrived, just after dark, Ms. Furukawa climbed up a ladder to the second-floor bedroom and shot her mother with a silenced pistol while she was still unconscious.
"Then she took the TV remote control from the bedroom, left the murder scene, changed out of her clothes that were stained with gunpowder, and reappeared in front of everyone as if nothing had happened, pretending that she had just returned home.
"Because Ms. Furukawa asked the detective to come here to discuss the attack on her mother. So when the deceased did not appear, she could naturally call the maid and go to the second floor to call for help.
"After that, she could just find an excuse, such as something dropped or her shoelaces untied, to squat in front of the bedroom, and then she could quietly press the switch of the TV in the bedroom through the gap at the bottom of the bedroom door.
"The TV was fixed to a specific channel, and at that time that channel was the scene of the shooting - the TV was turned on by the remote control, the gunshots in the detective movie were heard, and the TV was turned off by the remote control. This process created a shooting out of thin air."
Furukawa Koji murmured, "So the bluish-white light I saw was not a will-o'-the-wisp, but the colorful light from the TV broadcast?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Of course, there are no ghosts in the world, so how can there be ghost lights?"
Koji Furukawa showed an expression of having learned a lesson.
Jiang Xia continued, "To use this method, the time must be extremely accurate. That's why Miss Furukawa temporarily replaced the watch with an electronic watch and decorated it with a metal strap, trying to make people ignore this fact.
"Also, the TV in the living room was broken, and it should have been Miss Furukawa's doing. If someone downstairs happened to be watching the same channel, they could easily think that the gunshots were actually from the TV, and she would be in trouble."
Furukawa Etsuko froze like an ice sculpture. After a moment, she angrily said, "Proof..."
"As for the evidence, besides the coat that you couldn't handle properly in your rush, there is also the remote control in the bedroom on the second floor."
Jiang Xia: "We kicked open the door because we were worried about the old lady's safety. After you saw the body, you sat down on the ground in grief and refused to leave. But you were not seriously sad at that time. Instead, you took out the TV remote control and pushed it towards the small table while no one was paying attention, letting it slide along the floor and under the table to avoid suspicion due to the lack of the remote control in the bedroom.
"It's just that you didn't control the force well, and the remote control slid right under the table, but it's a place where it's hard to 'accidentally drop' - your fingerprints should be on the remote control."
