Chapter 2796-2808 [Rest in peace, Akai Shuichi]
Jiang Xia interrupted their shared state of confusion: "Since the person driving the car was not Miss Wen Zi, then there is only one truth, which is -"
Mao Lilan had not yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced. She trembled as she answered, "Is it a ghost driving the car?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
He ignored his classmates' tempting questions and continued with what he had just said: "Someone else was driving."
"Others?" Maori Kogoro counted on his fingers, "President Horita is dead. His son, daughter and daughter-in-law are all here, and we are here too. The only ones who are gone are Mr. Horita Ryoji and the man who is taller than me..."
Suzuki Sonoko was a little excited: "Hasn't Horita Ryoji been knocked down by the butler? The one driving the car must be that Mr. Akai!"
The FBI and the out-of-control car, this is a scene that only appears in movies! I really want to rush out to see the scene... Well, Mr. Akai should be able to handle this situation, right?
Jiang Xia looked at the butler who was sitting on the ground dejectedly: "What kind of mechanism did you install on that car?"
…
On the winding mountain road.
Shuichi Akai put on headphones and secretly monitored the crime scene over there using the button bug he had placed in the restaurant.
Now hearing this, he glanced at the deflated steering wheel and smiled silently.
On the other side, the butler's voice came from the headset: "I installed an airbag on the steering wheel of that car. As long as the driver suddenly steps on the brakes, the airbag will be activated instantly."
Suzuki Sonoko was confused: "So it's just a safety measure, then you're a pretty good person."
"Why are you so stupid, kid? You're nothing like your parents." Maori Kogoro couldn't help but roll his eyes. After all, he was a driver every day, so he could tell the trap right away:
"When do you need to brake suddenly? It must be when you are going down the winding mountain road and reaching a corner. Only by braking, slowing down and turning the steering wheel in time can the vehicle turn the corner and leave safely.
"And at this moment, if an airbag suddenly pops out from the steering wheel..."
The two high school girls who rarely drive finally understood and their faces turned ugly: "The car will crash through the guardrail at the corner and fall down the mountain!"
"That's right." The butler sighed, "This is how my poor son died back then."
Conan was silent for a long time: "..." I didn't expect it to be like this. Is that suspicious knitted hat still alive now?
...If he fell off the cliff but didn't die, maybe I could take advantage of it and catch him and ask him some questions?
…
On the winding mountain road.
Shuichi Akai looked at the upcoming corner in front of him, gradually applying force to his foot on the brake, without any psychological burden.
——When he saw the butler repairing the car in the garage overnight last night, he had already guessed who the murderer was and that there was a trap hidden in the car.
So before driving down the mountain, he had removed the airbag from the steering wheel and repaired the tampered brakes.
The curly-haired man wanted to use himself as bait to force him to drive down the mountain and fall into a trap. So he removed the hook, took away the bait, and used the trick.
Just as I was thinking about it, the butler's voice sounded again.
"Also, because the airbag I installed was discovered by that little boy, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. So..." The butler sighed, "I installed a time bomb in the back seat cushion. Calculating the time, it's almost going to explode now."
Everyone: “…”
The faint smile on Akai Shuichi's lips suddenly froze: "..."
After a brief silence, he looked up at the rearview mirror.
boom--!!
With a loud bang, the car exploded into a charred mass on the winding mountain road.
…
The people in the villa on the top of the mountain were not aware of what was happening halfway up the mountain.
Because he killed the wrong person, the butler lost his fighting spirit. Under the detective's questioning, he confessed everything.
Soon, everyone found the spare telephone line he had hidden in a hidden basement and successfully called the police.
Not far from the telephone line, there was a young man lying on the ground, tied up like a dumpling and gagged. When he saw someone entering the house, he stared at the people at the door and began to move excitedly.
The eldest son: “…” Tsk, why didn’t he kill this annoying brother as well.
In any case, the case has been closed, and with detectives and the police who are about to arrive, no new cases are brewing for the time being.
After waiting anxiously for a while, finally, several police cars drove up the mountain.
"Why are you here again!" Inspector Yokomizo yawned tiredly. He had just worked overtime for a sudden murder case last night, and when he opened his eyes this morning, there was another case. He didn't even have breakfast, he jumped up and rushed to the scene.
After arriving at the scene and briefly understanding the situation, Inspector Yokomizo felt overwhelmed.
——Another person died, and the one who died was a president of a high status.
The good news is that the murderer has been found, and he seems to be very shocked and will tell everything he knows.
But the bad news is...
"An innocent passerby fell into the murderer's trap, crashed into the guardrail and fell down the mountain, the car was destroyed and the person died?" Inspector Yokomizo suspected that he was not listening to the description of the case, but the outline of a European and American action movie. "And that person might be an FBI? - Do you two know what you are talking about?"
"It's true!" Suzuki Sonoko thought of the ferocious temperament of the FBI, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "At least the first half of the sentence is true."
Officer Yokomizo pressed his forehead and said, "No wonder I saw the guardrail was broken when I went up the mountain, and there were traces of explosions on the ground... Tsk, you really are causing me trouble."
He first cursed the murderer, then turned to his men and said, "Go down the mountain and look for the car and the body. Remember to contact the fire department and the explosion control department to prevent a second explosion."
The police were in a state of turmoil.
Innocent passers-by took the police vehicles down the mountain and away from this troubled place - the school had an exam today and they had to go back to take it.
…
Half an hour later.
One after another, cars from television stations drove up the road and arrived at the murder scene.
Although reporters in Kanagawa Prefecture are not as keen on murders as their counterparts in Tokyo, the large-scale deployment of police cars and fire trucks still attracted everyone's attention.
After learning that the deceased was the president of a large company and that his killer was his housekeeper, a large number of reporters flocked to the Hilltop because of this dramatic plot, and the case was reported in detail.
At the same time, the life and death of the enthusiastic passerby who kindly sent the president home but unfortunately took the blame for the deceased's daughter and was suspected to have been buried at the bottom of the mountain also made everyone who saw the news extremely worried.
