Chapter 3269 3281 [Case Closed]
Inspector Megure suddenly realized the problem: "When you stretch, your hands will be raised up... Could it be that the Mr. Fujieda who 'stood up and raised his hands' in the surveillance video was not threatened by anyone, but just wanted to stretch?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Mr. Fujieda's chair was facing away from the surveillance camera. We couldn't see his expression, but only his actions, so this misunderstanding occurred."
Mrs. Suhua laughed: "I thought you were very smart, but you turned out to be a little fool. I was watching the surveillance video with you at the time. If I remember correctly, my husband stood up and raised his hands high, and then he fell to the ground very quickly - it is impossible to relax the body by stretching to such an extent."
Jiang Xia: "Standing up and stretching is Mr. Fujieda's personal habit, but someone took advantage of this and designed the subsequent plot - people with poor health who suddenly stand up after sitting for a long time may occasionally feel dizzy or black out."
"In order to turn this accidental situation into a certainty, the murderer added a drug, isoproterenol, into the victim's black tea."
"This drug can induce a brief dizziness and is sometimes used in patients with vertigo to induce the disease and to find out the cause."
"Under the effect of this drug, Mr. Fujieda finished drinking tea and reading a book, then stood up and stretched, then fell to the ground dizzy.
"This whole process, from the perspective of the low-quality surveillance camera, is very similar to 'being threatened with a gun' and 'falling to the ground after being shot'."
Officer Megure suddenly realized: "So, in the threatening letter, there was something like that written on purpose?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "In addition, because he was worried that we would miss this scene, the murderer also reminded us..."
He turned around and looked at the old butler who was standing quietly behind the sofa: "He looked at the surveillance camera and said in surprise, 'Why did the master raise his hand!'"
"?!" Everyone in the room was stunned. They turned around in surprise and looked at the old butler who had a low presence from beginning to end and looked like a background board.
Jiang Xia: "Mr. Butler manages this house and is familiar with every owner of the house. It just so happens that Mr. Fujieda's leisure activities are very fixed - he likes to go to the audio-visual room at this time in the evening to listen to music and read books. He likes to leisurely taste a cup of black tea during this process. He likes to stand up and stretch his body when he is ready to take a break after watching a segment..."
“All of these habits come together to form a seemingly perfect murder plan.
“Also, the isoproterenol used to make Mr. Fujieda dizzy is also a drug used to suppress asthma because it can strongly dilate the bronchi.
"Mr. Butler's asthma relapsed recently because he was sent by the deceased to clean the dusty warehouse. Even if someone found out that he bought the medicine, they would not think that the medicine was used in the murder. They would only think that he was treating his own illness."
Takamori Masumi listened to these words and bit her nails nervously: "..." No wonder her fake sister never let her have a fixed routine. Every time she found out that she had a fixed little habit, she would force her to disrupt it. She used to think that this person was simply cruel and unreasonable, but now...
You still have to listen to her more.
A helpless criminal sighed silently.
…
The two sisters developed a little friendship for some strange reason.
Next to him, Jiang Xia was also diligently advancing the case-solving process: "Under the guidance of Mr. Butler, we looked at the surveillance and found something strange about Master Fujieda."
"Because of the threatening letters that were prepared in advance, we subconsciously thought that he was threatened and shot, so we hurriedly left the monitoring room and rushed to the audio-visual room."
"The door to the audio-visual room was locked, so the housekeeper left us on his own, using the excuse of going to get the spare key.
“But of course he didn’t go looking for the keys, he just slipped out into the yard and around to the window of the audio-visual room.
“When we arrived at the door of the audio-visual room, he immediately fired three shots at Mr. Fujieda who was lying on the ground through the locked window.
"He then quietly left, took the key he had already brought with him, returned to the house, and successfully met us."
When Kudo Yukiko heard this, she suddenly realized something and looked at Mouri Ran: If Xiaolan had kicked the door earlier... would she have been able to see the murderer killing someone directly?
Then the murderer with the gun could turn around and shoot out the door.
Thinking of that scene, she sighed in fear: "..." It seems that opening the door is also a dangerous job... I have to remind Xiaolan next time to tell her not to be so reckless and to figure out the situation before kicking the door.
Oh, and there was also Xiao Jiang Xia. Although these two children were very skilled and much more reassuring than my own son, how could bare hands defeat bullets? As a detective, my own safety was more important.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Mao Lilan.
However, Mao Lilan was used to kicking doors, so she didn't connect this incident with herself. In comparison, she was more confused about another thing: "Three bullets fired in a row? But I remember that when we rushed to the door of the audio-visual room, we heard two gunshots from inside."
Jiang Xia: "When the first shot was fired, the gun was equipped with a silencer. Coupled with the classical music in the audio-visual room, the only sound was the breaking of glass."
"The killer then took a few seconds to remove the silencer and fired two more shots."
"No wonder Chiba said just now that there were strange scratches on one of the bullets." Inspector Megure slammed his palm and suddenly realized, "So it was a silencer. This is normal. The friction between the bullet and it will indeed leave some more marks. But... why did the murderer go to so much trouble?"
Jiang Xia: "In the surveillance video, when Mr. Fujieda fell to the ground in front of us, he was not actually shot. But Mr. Butler wanted us to think that the murderer had already fired a shot at that time - only in this way can he have an alibi for the shooting."
"So after he came out of the audio-visual room, he first made the least noise and carefully made up for the previous shot, and then fired two more shots in succession, so as to connect the two time points and remove the suspicion from himself."
Officer Chiba remembered something: "If that's the case, then the towel I found in the yard just now must be used to eliminate the gun smoke reaction! But... I have searched the yard for a long time and found the gun and the towel, but I don't think I saw anything like a silencer."
