Chapter 623: Hold on, I can win. More to the leader [Zhang Yunlong mmc]
"Of course, in order to prevent the victim's legs from being exposed at the bottom of the quilt when kicking, the murderer had folded her lower legs upwards in a duck-like sitting position.
"Once the bed is shaken and the blood spurts out, drawing our attention, the murderer can slip away from the blind spot under the bed, put on the zombie props hidden nearby, and suddenly appear like a normal staff member."
Hattori Heiji glanced at Tsuji Eizun and said, "No wonder you rushed to carry Yumi Ancai to the infirmary after you found her dead. It seems that you wanted to cover up the position of the deceased's calves - once you lift her up, even if you lay her flat again, you won't be able to tell that her legs were bent upwards..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower.
Suddenly I felt that I was very much like those policemen who used to support him.
"..." After realizing this sense of déjà vu, the veins on Hattori Heiji's forehead jumped and he immediately shut his mouth tightly, determined not to be a background board.
...We can't blame him for being slow in solving the case. It must be because Jiang Xia is too quick - look, the boss of the detective agency next to him also failed to react in time.
Hattori Heiji glanced at Amuro Toru and gradually felt that the unscrupulous boss became more pleasing to the eye. He temporarily replaced Conan, who was traveling somewhere, and became his new brother in distress.
The only flaw is that Mr. Amuro's expression seems a little too calm, as if he is already familiar with this situation and numb... Ah, speaking of which, judging from the recent reports on Jiang Xia's case and the news heard from other places, it seems that Toru Amuro has been traveling with Jiang Xia these days...
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji looked at Amuro Toru with a look that was subtly mixed with a hint of friendliness from a complex source.
…
The other two detectives were distracted.
Yuanshan and Ye didn't think much and were more focused on the case this time.
She suddenly remembered something, leaned closer to Jiang Xia, and whispered:
"But just now when we passed by the bed, the 'zombie' on the bed was struggling, and her exposed feet had red nails, and they really looked like girls' feet..."
"That's not true. Some men may also have a hobby of painting their nails... Of course, in addition to this, this situation may also occur because..."
As he spoke, Jiang Xia walked around to the end of the bed.
He held the bed sheet and looked at it for a moment, then turned one part over and spread it out under the light.
——There were several nearly parallel red scratches on the light green fabric:
"Someone used red paint like blood plasma to temporarily paint their feet so that they could have red toenails like the deceased. Then when they kicked, the uncoagulated blood plasma accidentally stained the bed sheets - just like now."
…
The normally lengthy reasoning session ended quickly due to his fast speaking speed.
It quickly jumped to the stage of examining physical evidence.
Toru Amuro caught the key words, his ears twitched, and he leaned against the wall to come back to his senses.
He looked at the policemen who were still pondering their reasoning, and said naturally, "What are you standing there for? Go verify it." It was finally over...
The policeman who had just "communicated" with him in the haunted house responded subconsciously when he heard this and walked towards Tsuji Eizun.
Then he was startled. Huh? Why should he listen to this hateful little black-faced man?
However, the person was already squatting in front of Tsuji Eizun...
The policeman, with blue lips, finally decided to be more professional.
He snorted and pulled the shoes off Tsuji Eizun's feet.
Tsuji Eizun had just been hit hard by that series of quick and concise "reasonings" and now he stood there in a daze, forgetting to dodge.
As his shoes and socks were pulled away, his bright red toes were exposed - the red color not only stayed on the nails, but had also seeped into the surrounding areas. It was obvious that it was not nail polish specially used for painting nails, but something else red that was hastily used instead of nail polish and painted on the toes.
“…”
Although the specific test results have not yet come out, after hearing those words, Tsuji Eitsugu was completely defeated.
He fell to his knees and pounded the ground angrily.
——He had thought of this murder plan a long time ago. However, who would have thought that today, when the haunted house was open for business, Ancai said that she was not feeling well and did not come to play the corpse.
Tsuji Eizun was extremely disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, just now, he went to buy a lunch box, and when he came back he found that Wei Jian Ancai had changed her mind and decided to perform in the haunted house herself.
The moment he heard the news, Tsuji Eizun felt that he might be the man of destiny who would make his dreams come true and was blessed by God.
So, although I realized it belatedly, the "guests" that Ancai greeted seemed to be a few detectives.
But he still didn't want to miss this opportunity.
——What happened to the detective?
Even detectives may not be able to see through all the traps.
They became famous perhaps only because the cases they solved were reported, while those that were not solved were closed as accidents or suicides and were silently ignored.
It's just survivor bias, you may not necessarily lose.
——Thinking so, Tsuji Eitsugu charged forward without hesitation.
…and then discovered in despair that the brilliant plan he had painstakingly devised, which he thought would easily deceive the detectives, did not even last for a few minutes.
...How did things turn out like this?!
…
Next to them, when listening to Jiang Xia retelling the murder plan, Takaichi Minetani and Mutsu Katori were completely stunned.
However, even though they didn't understand some parts in the middle, combined with Tsuji Eizun's reaction, they finally understood one fact.
——Tsuji Eitsugu is really the murderer.
After the two of them were grief-stricken, they felt incredible: "Why kill her? Just because she always quarreled with you?"
"Oh, of course not. The quarrel was just a prelude."
Tsuji Eizun sneered: "Last time we had a quarrel, I was very impatient and asked her why she said that the dead people I played didn't look like dead people. Has she seen the process of people dying?
"I just wanted her to shut up. But she actually...she said excitedly, 'Of course I have seen it! I have seen it hundreds and thousands of times, and I even see it in my dreams!'
“…I thought she had killed someone, so I persuaded her to turn herself in.
"But she said no, it was because of Hashiguchi--
"When Qiaokou was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was in a state of depression, the woman actually said to him, 'Since you are going to commit suicide, why not take a video of your death and send it to me so that I can make use of my remaining energy.'
At this point, Tsuji Eizun suddenly raised his head excitedly:
"Don't you think her reaction was strange on the day the body was found?! When we rang the doorbell, Qiaokou didn't come to open the door. It could have been because he was asleep or out. But the woman was inexplicably excited and insisted on going into Qiaokou's room. After entering, she shouted that she wanted to find the suicide note and searched everywhere..."
