Chapter 2807-2819 [Case Closed]
"And then?" After doing all this, Officer Takagi waited obediently for the next instruction.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the joy of having accomplished something: "Then just turn off the power."
Inspector Megure watched his subordinates busying around, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Wait, what does 'just turn off the power' mean? What about the death information of the deceased? What do the chess pieces on the chessboard mean?"
Jiang Xia looked at the three clients next to him: "What do you think?"
"Ah?" Seeing his question, the three people who were trying hard to reduce their presence could only look at each other and walk over to look at the chessboard.
After just a quick glance, the fashionable young man was surprised and said, "This chess game is too weird. What is going on here?"
Inspector Megure was stunned: "What's strange about that?"
The fashionable young man looked at this layman and shook his head helplessly: "It's hard to explain more, so let's just talk about the basics. Look - the four black pieces have clearly surrounded the white piece, but this white piece has not been taken away. This is against the rules of Go."
While the others were studying the chessboard, Conan tiptoed to the computer and took out the blank disk with the diary copied on it.
Just as I put the disk into my pocket, a voice came from behind me: "What are you doing?"
Conan: “?!!”
He was so frightened that his soul left his body. It took him a second to come back to his senses and recognize that it was Jiang Xia's voice.
"You scared me to death. How come you walked without making any sound?" Conan almost thought the disk was going to be confiscated by the police. He touched the disk through his clothes in fear, then turned around and said to his talkative classmate, "I just suddenly realized that these icons on Itakura Taku's keyboard are a bit like a chessboard."
Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked precisely at the place where he hid the disk: "Really?"
"..." Conan silently held the disk tightly: Do you have X-ray eyes... Don't look at it, I will not give the disk to you, this is for your own good - the terrible consequences of being knocked unconscious and drugged by Gin will be borne by me alone!
When the fake elementary school student is feeling tragic alone.
Next to him, the Mediterranean client overheard Conan's words and suddenly realized: "By the way, speaking of which, Itakura Taku is just like me, his eyesight is deteriorating rapidly. I heard that he is learning Braille input for this reason - I see these chess pieces on the chessboard, they look like the arrangement of Braille."
Inspector Megure's eyes lit up. He had never expected that there was a hidden talent among these suspects. He quickly moved away from the chessboard and said, "Take a look at what these chess pieces mean if they are converted into Braille?"
The Mediterranean client walked over, pushed up his glasses and looked carefully: "If we ignore the white pieces and only look at the black pieces, these words are 'evil', 'hand', 'yes'..."
Halfway through reading, the Mediterranean was startled, pointed at the mushroom-headed man in shock, and stammered to finish his words: "'Soma' - it's him, this is his name, the murderer is him!"
police:"?!"
Jiang Xia came over and asked Hai Di: "There is still half left. You have already read it. Why not just finish it?"
Mediterranean came back to his senses and quickly stared at the chessboard to continue interpreting: "The evidence is his watch."
“…”
Every word that popped out made Mushroom-head's face look uglier. Needless to say, everyone could see it - the words left on the chessboard were probably all true.
"You killed him?" The fashionable young man looked at the mushroom head in disbelief - not long ago, he was a fellow sufferer who had been living with him, but he had unexpectedly turned into a murderer. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel scared, "You look so honest..." You can't judge a person by his appearance!
Mushroom-headed man hastily came back to his senses after hearing his words. He laughed dryly, "What a mess! How come I didn't know I was the murderer? Oh, right, didn't the famous detective just say that the murderer had been here several times? The real murderer must have set up this game to get away with it, and wanted to pin the blame on an innocent passerby like me!"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "You underestimate the dead - a programmer who can break his promises repeatedly and force you to find him for cooperation must have a higher level of thinking and wisdom than you.
“But after you tied him up, you thought the waiting time was too long and left here without permission, giving him a lot of time alone.
“Although this period of time is not enough for him to save himself, it is enough for him to write a script to drag you down with him.
“For example, he knew that the last diary entry he wrote on the day of his death could help the police narrow down the suspects to the three of you.
“So after finding his body, the police probably summoned the three of you to question you about the situation and asked you to look at the photos of the scene, and then saw the chessboard next to the body.
“Mr. Subei from the Go game company knows a lot about Go, and once he points out that the game is not right, this chessboard will attract attention.
"At this time, Mr. Naito, who is good at Braille because of his poor eyesight, will notice the Braille on the chessboard like he did just now and decipher the true death message."
Jiang Xia looked at the mushroom-headed man with an unpleasant expression and said, "Among the three of you, you are the only one who doesn't know Go or Braille, so he chose this kind of death information to avoid your eyes."
The mushroom-headed guy snorted stiffly, "How much brain can a programmer who stays indoors have? All this is just your imagination. Besides, even if this chess game was really set up by Itakura Taku, what does that prove?"
He spread his hands and said, "Everyone in our business knows that the guy has a bad temper and is not a good person. Maybe he knew he was going to die, and he remembered that we had quarreled before, so he deliberately set up a trap to play a trick on everyone."
Jiang Xia laughed: "This is indeed not ironclad evidence. I said this only because I admire Mr. Itakura's calmness before his death. As for the evidence of your murder...he has already pointed it out, the watch on your wrist."
"?!" Mushroom-headed man covered his wrist. In a flash, he remembered some details of the murder, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
Jiang Xia: "When I came here just now, I heard from you that Mr. Itakura has a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder and is very particular about watches. In addition, I heard that his eyesight is also very poor..."
He looked at the mushroom-headed man and said, "There are no signs of fighting in this room, and there are no signs of fighting on Mr. Itakura either. In other words, you didn't force your opponent to come at you, but pretended to be friendly first, and then knocked him down when he was not prepared.
"In order to dispel the deceased's suspicion, you must have worn a very nice watch when you visited, as usual. When Mr. Itakura saw the watch, he borrowed it and held it in his hand to admire it."
