Chapter 3155 3167 [Suzuki Sonoko's Tips] Ask for monthly tickets o(〃'▽'〃)o
Hattori Heiji was speechless about this naive policeman: "It's okay if it's just a button, but there's such a big bottle and such a big sandal in the boat, how could the murderer not see it? - If I were him, I would have taken these evidence away or thrown them into the sea."
The three fishermen heard them arguing and came over. The blue vest tentatively said, "We should be able to go now, right?"
Inspector Yokomizo said quickly: "Not yet! We cannot be sure whether the death occurred before or after you arrived at the restaurant."
Red Vest said impatiently, "Isn't that often seen in mystery dramas - the estimated time of death or something like that? Can't you guys just check it out quickly?"
Inspector Yokomizo was overwhelmed by the pressure: "We are already investigating. We will do it as soon as possible. However..."
However, it is difficult to determine the time of death for a body that dies in water, especially in seawater. It is probably impossible to successfully find the real culprit based on this alone.
If we want to find the murderer as soon as possible...
As he was thinking, Inspector Yokomizo's eyes moved and his gaze quietly turned towards Jiang Xia.
However, before Jiang Xia could read his eyes, Hattori Heiji saw it first.
The next moment, a black whirlwind suddenly swept past his eyes. Inspector Yokomizo was stunned for a moment, and when he looked closely, he saw that the answer machine he had placed high hopes on had been pulled more than ten meters away by the Osaka detective.
Henggou Police Department: "?"
Suzuki Sonoko noticed what Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji were doing and came over curiously: "What are you doing?"
Hattori Heiji said seriously: "Simulate the scene of the crime!"
Jiang Xia looked at him and said, "You don't want to hear who the murderer is?"
"..." Hattori Heiji choked, his conscience and the desire to solve the case began to fight again. He frantically thought about trying to find the truth while stuttering nonsense to delay time, "You, have you really determined who the murderer is?"
Jiang Xia nodded, and when Hattori Heiji's face became more and more ugly and he seemed to want to say something, he slowly said: "But now the evidence is not complete, I won't say it."
Hattori Heiji's heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell back to the ground with a thud.
Then he remembered something: "Just now when I was discussing with Conan, you suddenly came over...!"
"We are just discussing it." Jiang Xia said innocently, "It's just a casual chat between friends, so we don't need to be so serious."
Hattori Heiji: "..." Use it, of course, why not? ?
Suzuki Sonoko heard this topic and joined in with a smile: "Speaking of this, I know how the murderer killed people!"
"?" Hattori Heiji turned to look at her, and looked her up and down, "You?"
"You are so rude, what do you mean by 'you?'" Suzuki Sonoko snorted, "You should ask in surprise, 'How did the murderer kill people?'"
Hattori Heiji looked at the high school girl doubtfully: Could it be that after being with Jiang Xia for so long, she really has learned how to solve cases?
But if this is the case...
Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at everyone's feet: If this is the case, how come Kudo, who follows Jiang Xia every day, is still as good at solving cases as before?
Conan noticed his gaze and said, "......?"
Why did Hattori suddenly look at him with such strange eyes? He felt that this colleague was thinking about something that made him angry...
Hattori Heiji didn't say anything. Jiang Xia looked around and gave a polite response: "How did the murderer kill people?"
Suzuki Sonoko did not notice the expressions of Hattori Heiji and Conan - one was too dark and the other was too short, and they could not see clearly in the night.
Seeing Jiang Xia asking, she raised her head proudly and went straight to the point in front of several classmates and Inspector Yokomizo who had just caught up with her: "Mr. Aramaki's death should have been around the time when the phone call was made. Although the three fishermen were beside us at the time, my intuition tells me that the murderer is likely among them!"
At this point, Suzuki Sonoko smiled quietly: In fact, it's not intuition, but Jiang Xia - since Jiang Xia already knows the murderer, then the murderer must be someone they have seen. In addition to the three fishermen, who else meets this standard?
Interpreting Jiang Xia is much easier than interpreting the case. After all, she is very happy to do this.
After a brief distraction, Suzuki Sonoko cleared her throat and continued, "So the next question is - how did they kill Mr. Aramaki who was far away at the seaside while being in a Chinese restaurant?"
"According to my reasoning, the small boat floating on the sea should be just a decoy - the deceased never actually took that boat."
"Oh?" Inspector Yokomizo's expression became serious when he heard this - if this was true, then it meant that the wine bottles, sandals and buttons in the boat were all just a trick of the murderer, which was very consistent with the twists and turns of the murderers in detective novels.
After taking a look at his appearance, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt more like a detective. She touched her chin like Jiang Xia and said seriously, "The murderer's real method is actually very simple - he first got the old man drunk, then wrapped him in a fishing net and threw him directly on the shore!"
Inspector Yokomizo: “…Ah?”
He stared blankly at the high school girl. The complicated tactics that had just emerged in his mind, as well as the thrilling battle of wits and courage between the clever police officers and the cunning murderer, suddenly shattered to the ground like a magic mirror that had been punctured.
Suzuki Sonoko snapped her fingers, like a young director announcing the end of a film, and said confidently: "Then we just have to wait for the tide to rise and submerge the old man wrapped in the net - even if the murderer is not at the scene, he can be killed on time!"
Mao Lilan suddenly realized: "So that's it! Sonoko, you are really a genius!"
"That..." Inspector Yokomizo's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "You don't live by the sea, so you may not know - even if it's high tide, the tide can't suddenly rise by dozens of centimeters."
"If, as you said, the murderer wrapped Mr. Aramaki in a fishing net and threw him on the shore, then after he left, the victim could have sat up and avoided being submerged by the tide.
"Let's take a step back. Even if the fishing net was too tight and he couldn't stand up, he could still crawl to a place where the tide wouldn't reach him. After all, he was just entangled in the fishing net, not tied up."
"Of course, if he was given some powerful sleeping pills, that would be a different story... But if that's the case, the autopsy would definitely be able to detect it. The murderer wouldn't leave such an obvious flaw."
"Hmm..." Suzuki Sonoko wanted to refute, but she felt that what the police said made some sense, so she stammered, "Then, the murderer might have stayed here the whole time, holding that guy down, and waited until he was completely drowned before leaving!"
Henggou Police Department: "..."
