Chapter 2232 2243 [Best Partner]
Jiang Xia pointed to the light in the living room and said, "All the lights in this family use the same pull-cord switch, including the bedroom where the deceased died. Just pull the cord and the light will turn on or off.
“From the height from which the deceased was hung, the murderer could have restricted his movements by simply tying his hands behind his back with a light cord.
"When the victim's strength was exhausted and he could no longer bite the rope, his body would fall, and his fall would pull the rope. When the murderer tied him up, he tied a special knot. When the rope was tightened, the knot tied on his wrist would naturally pull open. Then the rope would return to its original shape, and the victim's hands would fall to his sides, eventually forming the shape Miss Judy saw."
Judy's pen made a clicking sound: "..." Everyone present had seen that scene, why did they single her out? Targeting, this is naked targeting! Has this guy discovered her true identity?
"No, to be exact, this guy has been targeting me since I showed up in the arcade and established relations with Jiang Xia and the others for the first time." Judy muttered to herself, "Could it be that I was exposed much earlier than I thought, and he just thought that I, a foreign teacher, was more interesting and casually tested me?"
Judy's heart was in turmoil, but no one seemed to understand her feelings. Except for "Dr. Shinde" who glanced at her and gave her an unknown smile, everyone else was watching "Uzo" solve the case.
...I don't know his real name, I'll try to get some information from him later. Even if I can't get his real name, he should at least have a pseudonym to use in society.
…
Judy was anxiously waiting for Shuichi Akai's reply.
Others are concentrating on their cases.
Inspector Yamamura slammed his fist on his palm, and suddenly realized: "No wonder we found some very fine strangulation marks on the wrist of the deceased, so that's how those marks came from!"
Jiang Xia nodded, and then pushed his sunglasses, which had slipped down a little due to nodding, back to their original position: "One end of the lamp cord is connected to the light bulb. If it is used as a rope to tie up the victim, the light bulb may be broken when he struggles.
"The lamp cords in this house are quite special. In order to take into account the short stature of the deceased, the lamp cords in all the rooms were specially extended.
"So the murderer actually cut off half of the lamp cord first, tied the victim with it, and then reconnected one end of the lamp cord to the upper half of the lamp cord. If you look closely, you can find that the wiring of other lamps is tied with beautiful fishing line knots, but only the lamp cord in the victim's bedroom is tied with a random knot, and its length is also slightly shorter than other places."
Inspector Yamamura wiped his sweat as he listened: "..." You can find it if you look carefully? He stayed in that room for several hours and didn't find it!
He could only comfort himself in his heart: he came late, and as soon as he arrived he was busy at the crime scene and hardly went to other rooms, so it was normal that he didn't know these things.
Yamamura Cao: “…” But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this wild detective arrived later than him.
He briefly fell into deep thought, then quickly lay down: Forget it, what can an ordinary person compare with a detective? He just needs to have ears and be able to listen.
The kind-hearted wild detective was just like Jiang Xia, and he did not wait for anyone to ask before he began to reconstruct the incident:
"At dinner time, Mr. Akashi came to the second floor alone to bring food to the deceased. When the deceased was concentrating on eating curry, he attacked from behind and stuffed a handkerchief into the deceased's mouth.
"The murderer then took out the cut electric light cord, tied the victim's back, put a noose around the victim's neck, let the victim bite the rope above, and hung the victim from the beam.
"Finally, connect the cord that was tied around the wrists back to the light, and the preparations were complete. But unfortunately, there was a little mistake here - the murderer didn't know how to tie a 'fishing line knot', so he had to cut the original knot and hide it, and then tied a knot randomly to try to get away with it."
At this point, "Uzo" sighed and pointed to the bookshelf: "Regarding fishing line knots, there must be relevant knowledge in the book "Introduction to Fishing", but unfortunately, you didn't notice this detail, or maybe you noticed it but didn't care. This kind of thinking is obviously fatal. In a murder case, sometimes a little detail is enough to decide the whole situation."
As Akashi Hiroto listened, he lowered his head in shame.
Then he suddenly felt something was wrong: "..." A detective who had ruthlessly exposed him was actually pretending to sigh for him? ... Was this man in sunglasses trying to persuade him to surrender because he couldn't find any evidence, and was now laying the groundwork?
Just as I was wondering, the man suddenly said, "Also, asking someone to come upstairs to help you collect the dishes is really too deliberate, especially the rules you set, such as 'If the light in the bedroom is on, come down quietly' and 'If the light is off, go in and collect the dishes' - too rigid clauses will only make people feel abnormal."
Conan nodded repeatedly after listening: Although this guy who suddenly appeared on a rainy day is a little weird, his reasoning ability is really good - great minds think alike, I think so too!
If I hadn't lost my voice today, I would have gone up to him and asked him a few questions - if he wasn't a suspicious person, then making friends with him wouldn't be a bad idea.
Thinking of this, Conan quietly tried to speak.
Then he wanted to cry but could not even shed tears as he looked at his still hoarse throat.
But the same words in the ears of another person may evoke a completely different reaction.
Judy: "..." This guy actually taught others how to kill people in front of him? That stupid policeman, where was your enthusiasm for doubting me just now? Arrest him!
However, when she turned around, she saw Shancun Cao nodding repeatedly, looking very taught, and no one paid any attention to the cry in her heart.
——It’s as if in the eyes of those who don’t know the truth, this is not “ironclad evidence of incitement to murder” at all, but a brilliant reasoning based on understanding the criminal’s psychology.
Looking around, Judy discovered in despair: apart from Jiang Xia who was sleeping, the only other person who shared the same feeling as her... was Vermouth.
Others, such as Suzuki Sonoko, who was a spy, had already actively participated in the case-solving process. She raised her hand and asked, "Then was our 'chance encounter' with Mr. Akashi on the rainy tennis court also deliberately arranged by him?"
