Chapter 831 What did you do secretly?
Jiang Xia continued: “The murderer hurriedly left the scene and went down to the lounge, taking the bass drum box containing the body and the prosthetic hand.
"Since he didn't have the key to the lounge at the time, he had to temporarily place the box and the body inside in the corridor, pretending that it was just a pile of musical instruments. Then he hid the prosthetic hand in the cavity of the guitar, took it with him, and went upstairs to look for witnesses - and unfortunately, Xiaolan was the one he chose."
Vermouth: "..." She always felt that the "unfortunately" in this sentence was a bit problematic...
Jiang Xia glanced at her, then quickly passed her by as if nothing had happened, just like a detective scanning the crowd normally when doing deduction:
“After taking Xiaolan back to the lounge door, the murderer asked her to wait outside the door while he went into the room.
"When no one was looking, he arranged the blanket, took out the fake hand from the guitar, and placed it on the edge of the blanket, pretending that there was a body under the blanket. Then he pretended to shout in panic, attracted Xiaolan, and deliberately ignored the security booth on the same floor. He did not call the police, but let the only witness run upstairs to find a detective.
"After sending Xiaolan away, the murderer could calmly come to the corridor, carry the body hidden in the instrument case into the house, and then hide the fake hand again."
At this point, Jiang Xia paused for a moment and praised the police who often helped with the aftermath of cases: "In short, Inspector Megure's speculation just now was not wrong. The murderer was indeed the last person to borrow the lounge key. The only point that needs to be added is that Mr. Nakamura should not be excluded - he was the last person to borrow the key."
Next to him, Conan heard what was said and nodded in agreement.
Although Conan loves reasoning, he also loves the astonished looks of the crowd when the answer is announced.
But now, he can no longer use the identity of "Conan", an elementary school student, to proudly tell the outside world his reasoning like before - a few months ago, after discovering Gin and Vodka, he bravely tracked down the two suspicious men in black, and although he saved his life because of APTX4869, he also lost the identity of "Kudo Shinichi".
After all, Kudo Shinichi was not an agent who was trained since childhood. Although his childhood photos were not deliberately publicized, they were not deliberately destroyed either.
If Conan, a genius elementary school student, shines in the detective world, and a sinister silver-haired man in black who knocks him out happens to watch the news and thinks he sounds familiar, and then checks the childhood of Kudo Shinichi and finds that the two children are exactly the same...
Conan shuddered silently as he thought of the organization's style of silencing and terrorist tactics that he had observed so far.
——Now he is not alone. The more people who come into contact with "Conan", the more people will be on the organization's list of people to be killed.
So, he had endured it until now, coupled with the blow brought by a neighbor who suddenly and miraculously changed his career and became a genius detective.
Conan is no longer the "Kudo Shinichi" who values reasoning and winning.
He is now more Buddhist and pure...he is just enjoying the fun of solving puzzles.
…
Therefore, this time, Conan rarely came up with the answer before Jiang Xia said it, and he gained a huge sense of accomplishment in an instant.
Although it might be because the venue was too large and he had to run upstairs and downstairs to collect clues, the process of moving gave him a lot of extra time to think... but in terms of the result, to round it off - he and Jiang Xia figured out the case at the same time.
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but push up his glasses, took out his cell phone, and wanted to call Hattori Heiji to show off... Unfortunately, the case was not over yet and the room was very quiet, so he had to suppress this idea for the time being.
The happiness that is kept in your heart cannot be shared.
Conan could only focus his attention on the case again.
Think about that fake hand. It's almost conclusive evidence.
Conan turned to Nakamura Yusuke and found that his eyes were rolling around, as if he wanted to explain something, so he joined in: "Just now, I went to the eighth floor with Brother Jiang Xia - the sporting goods store there. The model aunt didn't have a left hand. She was so pitiful... Uncle, did you borrow her hand? Why don't you return it?"
"..." Mao Lilan shuddered silently and stroked her arm. At the same time, she looked at Conan in shock, and began to wonder if this kid had secretly watched some horror movie disc that was not suitable for children while she and her father were not paying attention.
Vermouth: “…” Although Cool Guy did use a child’s tone, why did he tell it like a ghost story? This makes it even more terrifying… However, speaking of it, some perverts in the organization might appreciate a child like this.
She shook her head wordlessly and looked away from Conan.
Then, before Nakamura Yusuke could come to his senses, she suddenly reached out, picked up the guitar leaning against the table, and swept her slender fingertips across the strings.
There was an unpleasant noise.
Vermouth looked at Nakamura Yusuke, and seeing his pale face, she curled her lips and smiled evilly: "The pitch is so off, the strings must have been stretched out by force - after using the prosthetic hand, did you put it back into the cavity of the guitar?"
"I see!" Inspector Megure suddenly realized something, then suddenly came to his senses, "Wait, please don't touch the evidence!"
Several policemen trotted over, took the guitar from Vermouth, and checked the cavity inside.
They soon found a prosthetic hand with a glove on it - exactly as the detective had described.
Mao Lilan watched all this silently, nodded secretly in her heart, and became more and more certain of her previous guess:
Although her clothes and appearance don't look like it, Miss Takenaka might really be a detective assistant.
——Look, she even handled the evidence at the same speed as other detectives. And her actions were justified and natural, even Inspector Megure, an old policeman who had seen this before, didn't react...
…
The criminal process of Yusuke Nakamura was ruthlessly broadcast by the fake detective.
Add to that the fresh evidence from the guitar, and the fingerprints that might have been left at various scenes when the murder was committed in passion and the bodies were hidden...
The wall in Nakamura Yusuke's heart that had been resisting stubbornly finally had a crack in it, and then the gap quickly expanded until the entire wall collapsed.
Just as Jiang Xia said, at this time, the other three band members who were quarreling with each other stopped arguing and blaming each other.
They all looked at Nakamura Yusuke at the same time. It was hard to imagine that the band leader was the murderer, and the one who killed their team members was: "Captain... why?"
“…”
Yusuke Nakamura was silent for a long time, and suddenly he wiped his face hard. The innocent look on his face disappeared and became a little gloomy.
