Chapter 3293 3305 [Shirley's Survival Guide]
"First you killed the dead man who was sleeping and not resisting... and then you took away the button?"
When the police heard this, they felt as if their brains were twisted: Jiang Xia's speculation seemed to be completely opposite to what they thought.
But what Mr. Jiang Xia said was definitely correct - so why did the murderer go to such lengths? Did he want to create the illusion of a fierce fight between the two sides?
Jiang Xia glanced at them and considerately used a simpler explanation: "The murderer used fluorescence to locate not only the furniture, but also the victim's heart - he applied a little luminous paint on the third button of the victim's shirt."
"As long as the murderer follows the mark on the furniture and successfully walks to the sofa, he can aim at the victim's vitals based on the light on the button and kill him with one knife."
"Afterwards, in order to prevent others from noticing the abnormality of the button and then associating it with the way he walked in the dark, the murderer simply pulled the button away - a button that was lost somewhere is always safer than a fluorescent button."
"In addition, according to insiders, the deceased's hygiene habits were not very good. He rarely changed clothes and rarely took a shower. So the murderer only needed to find the right time in these few days to paint fluorescent paint on his clothes, and he would not have to worry about the deceased changing clothes to make it difficult for him to locate him."
As he was talking, a young police officer ran back holding an evidence bag and said, "Mr. Jiang Xia, we found the button in Mr. Genshan's locker just as you said! There is a surveillance camera in that room, and we have found the scene where he put the button in!"
Jiang Xia looked at the middle-parted man who was sitting on the ground dejectedly: "You are a person who works very hard and is very cautious. So after you pulled off the fluorescent button on the dead man, you didn't throw it away, but put it where you can get it at any time."
"Because you think that the loss of the button is likely to be noticed by the police. If the police are a little confused, it's fine, but if a very serious police officer finds the lost button and is puzzled about not being able to find the button at the scene, then your positioning method will also be at risk of being exposed.
"So after you killed someone and returned to the East Capital Phenomenon Center from the crime scene, you first found a way to remove the paint on the button, and then made preparations to quietly throw it back to the scene when necessary to prevent someone from following the clues and finding out the terrible truth."
“…”
The man with the middle-parted hair didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he no longer had the energy to deny it.
Seeing that he would answer any question, Officer Takagi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he remembered something and looked around the messy living room. "But you're lucky. If I remember correctly, the deceased was a colleague of yours. He should be very sensitive to light sources in the dark. If he happened to get up to go to the bathroom before you killed him and saw those fluorescent marks, your plan would have failed."
"Oh, the plan went bankrupt?"
The man with the middle-parted hair finally came back to his senses. He pushed his glasses and sneered, "Unfortunately, this kind of thing will not happen - because a large part of those tapes were actually put there by Gucun himself."
"The tape on the camera was there so he could find it easily when there was no light. And the tape in the house was there because he was too lazy to turn on the flashlight or the light when he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so he put it there to guide himself."
"He once proudly told me these little tricks, and even said in a condescending tone that I could use them too... Humph, this is not his apartment at all, and the furniture is not his furniture - he is so proud of sticking things in other people's homes! He is such an unscrupulous bastard!"
Hearing this, the homeowner scratched his head speechlessly: "…" He just put some tape on me randomly, but you want to frame me as the murderer! Do you have any principles?
The man with the middle-parted hair didn't notice the young junior's criticism.
Now that things had come to this, he finally didn't have to endure it anymore, and could pour out his anger towards the deceased without hesitation: "These little things in daily life can barely be considered as him not being picky, so I can tolerate it... But there was only one thing that I couldn't let him go!"
He clenched his fists in anger. "That bastard actually destroyed the negatives of the final episode of "Parents' Diary of an Idiot"! Our iconic movie could have come to a perfect end, but because of him, it all went to waste!"
Inspector Megure looked at the middle-aged man who was shaking with anger, feeling somewhat helpless: "It is indeed annoying to have a colleague who is a hindrance, but as for that movie, I remember it was successfully released after being remade, and the response was not bad - why did you kill a living person for such a mistake that can be saved?"
“What do you know!” The man with the middle-parted hair waved his hand angrily, his expression becoming sad. “It’s different now. The finale that was re-filmed is not a perfect finale at all.”
"In the final episode of the original version, the protagonist's younger brother was supposed to appear. But between the two takes, the actor died in a car accident... In the new version, all his scenes had to be cut."
"That scene should have been the highlight, the ending of the whole chapter! But because of that idiot who did his job carelessly, it will never be seen by the audience again..."
…
The police sighed and took the principled murderer away.
It was already late and the witnesses were a group of children, so Inspector Megure was embarrassed to ask them to go directly to the police station to take statements, so he planned to send the children home first and go there when he was free the next day.
When leaving the apartment, Haibara Ai looked around worriedly.
This time, there really was no sense of voyeurism.
"They should have gone far away." Jiang Xia noticed the mini scientist's vigilance, touched her head, and whispered, "If you are afraid, you can bring more temporary hair dye spray made by Dr. Agasa recently - after all, there are many differences between the appearance of children and adults. As long as you dye your hair black and put on a hood, fewer people will be able to recognize you."
——Others may not know, but Gin will probably never be recognized.
Haibara Ai listened to him carefully and nodded solemnly.
At this time, Conan had already taken off his noise-canceling earplugs, revealing a satisfied but not so satisfied expression.
——It is certainly joyful to successfully deduce the answer, but what is even happier is the expressions of disbelief or praise and admiration from others when the answer is announced.
But now...
A mini detective sighed and had to pretend that he was practicing.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something: "Speaking of which, why didn't Officer Sato come back after he left?"
