Chapter 3135 3147 [Hisagi Eri's Trap] Asking for monthly votesヽ(〃〃)~
After saying that, Kisaki Eri looked at her colleague whose face changed drastically and smiled slightly: "Is that so, Lawyer Saku."
Lawyer Saku was flustered for several seconds before he finally adjusted his expression. He forced out a slightly stiff smile:
"Lawyer Fei, how come you are joking with the children? What you just said is indeed feasible, but if you think about it, you will know that it is very risky.
"Jiang Xia was still in the room at the time, and no one knew when he would wake up. If he had woken up before everyone found him and came to the door to leave the room, then the tampered door chain would immediately be exposed to him... Would the murderer really carry out such a risky plan?"
Hibiki pushed up her glasses, and a cold metallic gleam slid across the frame like flowing water. She smiled a smile that had once sent chills down the spines of many of her peers: "Yes. And the clever murderer even added a little insurance to avoid this kind of situation - that's why you chose to use the telephone line as the murder weapon, right?"
“…”
As Attorney Saku turned pale, Hibiki Eri continued slowly, "In addition, moving Jiang Xia's phone from beside him to the door, and hanging a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the outside door handle... This series of actions are all doing our best to prevent Jiang Xia from being awakened early.
"Of course, the cell phone ringtone actually has another wonderful use, which is to help us confirm that Jiang Xia is in this room, and then pave the way for us to 'enter the secret room' and 'discover that Jiang Xia is the murderer'."
Conan looked at the hateful murderer who framed Jiang Xia and couldn't help but add: "When we first found out that Brother Jiang Xia was missing, we immediately called him, but his phone was turned off at that time. You were not unaware of this situation, but when we found this place, you still suggested that we call Brother Jiang Xia on the grounds that 'the signal might be bad just now'. I felt something was wrong at the time, and now it seems..."
Conan froze in the middle of his words when he suddenly noticed the surprised look in Kisaki Eri's eyes. He quickly adopted a childish tone and continued, "Now it seems that what Brother Jiang Xia taught me was right. When ordinary passersby become enthusiastic, there must be a reason!"
Kisaki Eri: “…” So it was Jiang Xia who taught her… She was saying, how could Kogoro Mouri, who is so confused, teach an elementary school student with such clear logic.
However, although the elementary school student performed outstandingly, Lawyer Saku next to him was not defeated.
This lawyer, who was a seasoned man, took a deep breath, changed his previous nice guy appearance, and his tone and eyes became sharp.
He looked deeply at Fei Yingli and said, "We are all lawyers, so I will speak frankly - Lawyer Fei, I have a piece of advice for you, you'd better not touch this case in which I'm defending Jiang Xia.
"You know in your heart that no matter if it was me who suggested calling Jiang Xia or if I was the first to knock on the door... no matter how correct your reasoning sounds, in fact, it is not evidence at all - even if it is you, with such a bad hand, it is impossible to help Jiang Xia turn the tables. As a colleague, I really can't bear to see your legendary undefeated myth end today."
Hibiki Eri listened to this quietly and couldn't help laughing: "The so-called undefeated myth was originally just a joke that everyone used to flatter me. This title only brings pressure to me. If I can really get rid of it, maybe it will be a good thing."
"But unfortunately, at least this time, this so-called 'invincible myth' is likely to continue."
"——Because as early as when you entered this room just now, you confessed all your crimes yourself."
Lawyer Saku was startled and instinctively had a bad feeling. He quickly recalled what he had just said, but no matter how hard he thought, there seemed to be no loopholes.
Fei Yingli looked at his expression and guessed what this fairly familiar colleague was doing: "Don't think about it, you didn't say the wrong thing, but you did the wrong thing."
As she spoke, the Queen of Law pointed a finger at the room and said, "Why do you know that this is the room of the deceased?"
"Why don't you know?" Lawyer Saku thought the question was inexplicable. "The two servings of beef fried rice at the door, aren't they...?!"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and his voice stopped abruptly.
Hibiki Eri stared at him and asked knowingly, "What? Is there something wrong with beef sauce fried rice?"
Lawyer Saku opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Kisaki Eri spoke for him: "If you don't want to say it, I'll answer it for you - tonight, you knocked on the door and killed the defenseless Miss Usui.
"Then you took out the tools you had prepared long ago, ran to the door lock, and hurriedly made a secret room. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"You were startled, and you looked out through the peephole, and saw the waiter who was standing next to the door. Then you suddenly remembered that when you were unplugging the phone line at the bedside table, you saw the words 'ha' 'ya' 'shi' '2' written on the note next to the landline.
"You didn't quite understand it just now, but now, combined with the waiter who rang the doorbell in the cat's eye, you suddenly understand - ha'ya'shi is the pronunciation of beef sauce. So the words on the note must be the abbreviation of 'beef sauce fried rice, 2 servings'.
"At such a critical moment, the deceased actually ordered room service. And now, the waiter is about to deliver the meal... This unexpected accident makes you very angry.
"But as an adult who is killing someone, you have to come up with an immediate solution, in addition to being angry.
"So you angrily went back to the bedside table, tore off the note with beef sauce fried rice written on it, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can.
"After venting your anger, you deliberately changed your handwriting and rewrote the words 'Sorry, please tell him, I will pay' on the next page of the note.
"When the waiter leaves, hang this note outside the door, tell the waiter that you will pay, and ask them to take the beef sauce fried rice away. This will prevent the waiter from ringing the bell again to deliver the food and waking up Jiang Xia who is sleeping.
"It was because you were in the deceased's room at that time that you were misled by the beef sauce fried rice placed at the door and thought it was the deceased's room."
…
When Lawyer Saku was stunned.
In another room.
Officer Yokomizo held his cell phone, fingers moving quickly, and excitedly sent a message to Jiang Xia: [Mr. Jiang Xia, just as you planned, Lawyer Fei is attacking fiercely, and the murderer's psychological defenses seem to be collapsing! ]
