Chapter 3311 3323 [Case Closed]
Conan's eyes lit up. He ran to the fallen bald contestant and quietly picked up something from the ground, saying, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"No, I'm okay." The bald contestant fell quite badly, but fortunately after the fall, when he got up, he found that he had arrived in front of Jiang Xia and had finished walking this annoying road.
Realizing this, the bald contestant couldn't wait to take off his hood and asked Jiang Xia: "Is this all right?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay, this way we can confirm that you are the murderer."
"?!" The bald contestant's heart stopped beating, "What did you say?!"
Next to Jiang Xia, Suzuki Sonoko looked at him in shock: "Haven't you noticed yet? - Your walking posture is exactly the same as the murderer in the camera!"
"That's right!" The onlookers were obviously aware of this problem and instantly understood why Jiang Xia did not tell them the observation standards in advance.
——Actually, there is no need for any standards. Compared with the other three contestants, the bald contestant's weirdness is as conspicuous as a cow among three wolves.
Officer Takagi looked at the confused criminal and couldn't help but explain a little more so that he would be caught clearly: "You are just like the murderer. You walked in a panic and kept looking around."
"I wasn't looking around..." Niu Ruyan defended himself, but because he was shocked, he seemed very weak.
Jiang Xia looked at him and said, "After putting on the hood, because of the mask covering the eyes, the field of view of the 'wolf-headed man' will be smaller than that of the naked eye."
"If you rarely wear this kind of headgear, then after putting it on, the user will subconsciously turn his head to get more vision."
"The narrower field of vision than usual will force people to be more careful. In addition, it will be difficult to see clearly under your feet, and you may trip over things like luggage if you are not careful - just like Mr. Niu Ru."
Jiang Xia then looked at the other three contestants who were watching in shock. "Let's not talk about 'Wolf-Faced Warrior'. He has been wearing a mask during competitions since his debut. In order to conceal his identity, he always wears it during breaks. He knows exactly how to act when wearing a mask."
"Of course, the same is true for Mr. Leonardo. He first debuted with a masked image and is also an expert in wearing masks."
"As for Mr. Zuo Xiong, he has no experience in fighting with a mask, but in order to help the 'Wolf-Faced Warrior' hide his identity, he needs to wear a mask every now and then and appear with the real Wolf-Faced Warrior, just like the photo in the newspaper just now."
"In short, no matter who these three contestants are, they will not act like what was shown on camera - so the only one left is you, Mr. Niu Ru."
“…”
Under his gaze, Niu Ruyan's face turned pale.
But soon, this 30-something athlete took a deep breath and let out a seemingly calm sneer.
He snorted. "Just because I'm not used to wearing a mask and accidentally tripped, you dare to claim that I'm the murderer of Nagase. In front of so many reporters outside, you dare to make such irresponsible remarks... If you don't apologize to me quickly, I think your career as a famous detective will end today."
As he spoke, Niu Ruyan raised his hand and waved it, as if he was holding the entire venue in his arms: "Speaking of 'uncomfortable with wearing a headgear', do you know how many staff members our association has? - Nagase has always been high-profile. It's no secret that he likes to stay alone in this room before the game."
"In other words, if 'not used to wearing a mask' is equivalent to a murderer, then there are several, even dozens of possible murderers here! What makes you insist that that person is me?!"
Jiang Xia looked at his stubborn resistance and sighed, "Speaking of which, when we were rewatching the video just now, we discovered something strange - the murderer in the video had four strings on his hood."
"!" Niu Ruyan felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again, and his brown face began to turn pale.
This time, Officer Gao Mu was the first to react. He suddenly realized: "Four lines mean two masks - in order to prevent his own dandruff and hair from getting on the wolf mask, the murderer put on a thin mask used by 'wolf-faced warriors' when eating inside the wolf mask before putting it on!"
"I see!" Inspector Megure finally understood his previous doubts:
“No wonder in the video, the deceased clearly tore the murderer’s mask apart before he died, but there was no corresponding blood, flesh or skin scraps left under his fingernails—that’s because only the outer layer of the mask was torn apart, while the murderer’s skin was protected by the hood on the inside!”
"So this thing is the mask that the 'Wolf-Faced Warrior' wears when he eats!"
At this time, an innocent child's voice sounded from the side. Conan relied on the fact that he had just stood next to Jiang Xia for a while, and under the pretext of "Brother Jiang Xia asked me to do it", he did what he wanted to do.
He picked up a thin mask through his handkerchief and said, "Uncle, when you fell just now, something like this fell out of your pocket!"
“…”
Looking at the mask as thin as face skin, Niu Ruyan was struck by lightning.
It took him several seconds to raise his voice and said to the kid with a smile, "That's not the murderer's thing. It's just a small prop that my uncle uses to scare the new players. You know, my uncle is old now, and he needs to have some dignity that a senior should have. Only in this way can I manage the discipline of the team."
"So you admit that this mask is yours?" Conan unfolded the mask and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Hmm? That's weird! There's a tiny red blood spot under the right eye of this mask. Uncle, what is this?"
Niu Ruyan gritted his teeth, and was furious at the sight of this annoying little devil. At the same time, he quickly understood what was going on.
——When Nagase was stabbed to death, the outer wolf hood was torn by that damn bastard. So when the dagger was inserted and pulled out, the spurting blood splashed from the cracks in the hood onto the mask inside.
…
After the crime, the wolf mask on the outside, because it was originally stained with the hair and dandruff of the "wolf-masked warrior", could be thrown anywhere, waiting to be discovered by the police and framed.
But the mask on the inside cannot be thrown anywhere - if it is picked up by someone else and some smart policeman associates it with his frame-up method, things will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Niu Ruyan simply gritted his teeth, hid the mask on himself, and prepared to slip away and throw it away in the chaos.
But before I could find the right opportunity, I was called here...
