Chapter 3394 3406 [What are you looking for]
After hearing Jiang Xia's words, several policemen fell into a brief daze, just like they did at Judy's house not long ago, and their eyes seemed to be as dizzy as mosquito coils.
Inspector Megure: "..." Hasn't Brother Jiang Xia completely gotten rid of the Riddler virus that he was infected with by that black-skinned kid? Damn Osaka people...
Under his complicated gaze, the new riddler across from him continued slowly: "Aren't there always some things in the toilet that need to be thrown away after use?"
"Things that are thrown away after use..." Inspector Megure scratched his hat. For a moment, he felt like he was back in high school being questioned by his teacher. He racked his brains to think, "Fragrance? Disposable towels?"
Officer Takagi was also guessing: "Hand sanitizer? Toilet paper? ...Oh, and there's a toilet paper roll!"
As he was speaking, a small figure stealthily opened the bathroom door and tiptoed out.
Jiang Xia glanced at Huihara Ai and found that there was a hint of imperceptible excitement in her calm expression. He also saw that there was some water on her sleeves, so he knew that the case could be concluded.
He nodded and looked back at the two policemen: "The murderer found a used cardboard refill, coated it with poison, and hung it on the paper towel rack.
"This way, when the president finishes using the restroom and reaches for toilet paper, he'll grab the contaminated paper tube.
"Finding that the toilet paper was out, he reached out his right hand, took out the toilet paper tube, and casually placed it on the floor beside him. Then he took a new roll of paper from the shelf and put it on the paper towel rack.
"After this action is completed, the surface of the new toilet paper is stained with poison, but soon, the layer of toilet paper stained with poison will be torn off and used, and then washed away with water to erase the traces.
"After using the restroom, the president stood up and used his poisoned right hand to pull up his pants and fasten his belt. The poison was applied to these two parts of his body at that time.
"He then used his left hand, which was clean of drugs, to press the flush button and flush the toilet."
Inspector Megure became increasingly confused as he listened. "Wait, so the victim's right hand was stained with poison, and the left was clean? —But I remember the test results just now. There was no poison on the victim's right hand, but some on the left."
Jiang Xia sighed and looked at the dead president on the ground: "We misunderstood one thing - this president actually washed his hands after going to the toilet."
"This type of toilet has a rectangular wash basin on top of the water tank. After flushing, when the water returns to the tank, it will first flow out of the elbow and then flow into the water tank.
“This way, the president, who likes to save water, can wash his hands with the water flowing from there without turning on and off the tap.
"After a hasty rinse, he failed to completely wash off the poison on his right hand. However, when he took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands, the remaining poison was eventually wiped onto the handkerchief.
"Later, the president stretched out his right hand to open the door, then used his left hand to pick up the poisoned paper core on the ground and walked out, personally carrying the poisoning device out of the toilet."
At this point, the police officers finally understood. Inspector Megure turned back to look at the toilet door: "The deceased left the toilet, threw the poison paper core into the trash can, and then grabbed the hamburger with his left hand, which had just taken the poison paper core, and stuffed it into his mouth, eventually being poisoned to death."
At this point, Conan, who had been quietly thinking, came back to his senses and suddenly interrupted: "That's too complicated to explain. Let's actually experiment!"
"Huh?" Inspector Megure was stunned. He had just experienced Judy jumping off the building. The word "experiment" made him shudder and he instinctively wanted to object.
However, before he could speak, Conan had already passed by Jiang Xia and Huihara Ai. In the latter's surprised gaze, he smiled mysteriously at her, then rushed into the bathroom and closed the door.
——Although he was unable to solve the case in time because he was immersed in thinking about the Black Organization...but it’s not a big problem, at least he solved another mystery.
That is where the thing that Akemi Miyano had hidden was hidden!
"After she left, the president suddenly started saving water, but before that, he clearly didn't care about such trivial matters... This suggests that at some point, water consumption here suddenly increased significantly, forcing the president to take measures to save money."
So why has water consumption increased so much?
Conan walked to the closed toilet, lifted the tank lid with force, and looked at the float inside.
"This type of water tank requires the buoyancy of a rising float to close the valve. However, if the float fails to rise to the top for some reason, water will slowly flow out of the valve, increasing water consumption.
"From above, this float looks fine, but there must be something heavy stuck on the back of it!"
While thinking, Conan rolled up his sleeves and confidently touched under the float.
Then I touched an ordinary floating ball.
Conan: “……?”
Conan: “???”
That’s not right, where are the things!
…
When a primary school student was shocked in the toilet.
Outside the door, a police inspector was also shocked.
Inspector Megure quickly shouted through the door: "Conan? Come out quickly!"
Since the poison was in the toilet, this toilet is now an important place! ...Uh, but Jiang Xia seemed to say that the drug-stained items have been taken away?
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure was no longer so anxious. In addition, the toilet was locked. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to do another thing first - find the murderer.
"The fact that they could kill people in this way shows that the murderer was very familiar with the deceased's habits." The fat police inspector touched his chin and looked at the three old employees of the deceased without any doubt. "The murderer must be among you three!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the turbaned employee: "The last people to enter the restroom before the deceased were Jiang Xia and two children. After eliminating these three people, the next person to enter was the turbaned employee."
Seeing his suspicious gaze, the turbaned employee was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Wait! You're a police officer, why do you believe everything others say? Don't you think what this high school student said sounds too far-fetched?
"The method you just described can theoretically kill the president.
"But in reality, the president has to happen to want to eat a hamburger, and happen to want to go to the bathroom before eating the hamburger. And the toilet has to be for defecation, and the person who went to the bathroom before him happened to be peeing and didn't need toilet paper... If any one of these steps goes wrong, the current situation cannot be achieved."
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He seemed calm, but in fact he almost didn't recognize the word "coincidence".
However, I have to admit that what this employee said seems to make some sense - how many series of coincidences are needed to achieve the goal that Jiang Xia mentioned?
