The Corpse Collector In Conan: Three hundred and forty-four [principle of killing]
"So it is."
The Otaki Police Department has experienced too many murders recently, and the brain that didn't turn around very much moved more slowly.
Hearing what Jiang Xia said, he didn't think much about it. When he looked at the vodka again, the suspicion in the eyes of the police department disappeared, and there was only a trace of disappointment: people who were thinner than this man in sunglasses were caught on the street, and this clue really didn't have much reference value. It would be easier to do it the other way around... But I can only remember this feature first.
Vodka took a sneak peek from the corner of his eye, and found that the policeman was watching him, from full of suspicion to gradually full of calm. Not only was he not at all relaxed, but he tensed up with a sense of crisis.
Vodka: "..." Wu Zuo said that he was not suspected, but the police believed it so simply.
...Then what if Uzo says he is suspected instead?
As a member of the organization, even if he is only "suspected", he still faces the risk of being silenced - it's just that this method is too straightforward and lacks artistic sense, so Uzo doesn't often use it. And if one day, Uzo abandons his principles...
Vodka shuddered, as if he had seen that terrible future.
He pushed his sunglasses silently and decided that when he was alone in the future, he would hide as far away from Uzo as he could, and always pay attention to the opponent's position when approaching, and resolutely prevented tonight's mistake from repeating itself.
…
While Vodka silently filled in the blank knowledge about Uzo.
Besides, the style of painting in his mind is completely different, the detectives and the police are still diligently solving the case.
Although a large group of witnesses who came out for shopping at night failed to see clearly who the figure who escaped from the murder scene in the dark was, after all, there were enthusiastic detectives present and there were still many clues left at the scene.
So soon, the Otaki Police Department got other extremely useful news.
"You saw the scene of the crime at 7:30, and you immediately called the police. At this time, the deceased on the ground had died." Otaki Police Department confirmed to several people by looking at the content just written down in the small notebook , "And before that, around 7:10, when you left the hotel, did you see the dead person going out?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
The Otaki police department breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, the matter is clear. The time of death of the deceased was between 7:10 and 7:30. The murder weapon was a prop used by the crew..."
He turned to several of his subordinates: "Call the crew and ask them who didn't have an alibi during that time!"
…
The hotel is not far from the shrine.
Not long after, a group of people from the crew came near the shrine. They looked at the corpse on the ground, showing expressions of fear, shock, or panic.
Otaki Police Department carefully listened to the relationship between the members of the crew, slapped their heads, and suddenly had an inspiration:
"The murder knife used in the murder was taken from the crew, and the blood left by the deceased also read the words 'コマイヌ', which refers to the stone statue at the entrance of the shrine—combining these two points, The identity of the murderer is already clear. The only one who has intersected with the crew and the shrine is the assistant lady who lives in the shrine!"
"...Me?" Mamegaki Taeko was taken aback, her face was ugly, and she waved her hands again and again, "I did leave for a while, but it was just to go home to get something."
Beside her, her fiancé assistant also took a step forward and stood in front of her: "Tiaozi can't kill people!"
Yoko Kinoshita was familiar with them, and testified in a low voice: "When we went shopping just now, we not only met the deceased who was going out, but also met Taeko at the gate—she has an alibi."
“…”
Mao Lilan looked at the Otaki Police Department, tilted his head in doubt, and whispered to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko in a low voice: "I don't know why, this police officer looks very friendly when he solves the case."
Jiang Xia looked at Otaki Police Department, nodded slightly: ...It has a bit of the charm and demeanor of Kogoro Mori.
"...Oh, so there is an alibi. I'm sorry, there are too many people on the set, so I misremembered it." Otaki police department cleared his throat shamelessly, and changed the subject.
He turned to urge the subordinate who was checking the murder weapon: "Get the fingerprints out as soon as possible!"
The subordinate shook his head in embarrassment: "The police department, there is no complete fingerprint on it - judging from the general traces, someone wiped it specially."
As a professional who is often responsible for mopping up, Vodka glanced at the knife and snorted coldly: The murderer is really a stupid waste-just take the knife away and throw it at the bottom of the river far away, it's better than wiping it. Is it better to throw the knife at the scene when you're done? Without this knife, the scope of the murderer would be infinitely expanded. Unlike now, the murderer was immediately locked among the crew members... No, wait a minute.
In the middle of the criticism, Vodka suddenly came to his senses: I am afraid that this is not something that the murderer can control himself, but that he was hinted and influenced by Uzo through some channels that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, so he deliberately took the knife remained at the scene of the crime.
——Otherwise, if the police really ran outside and cast a wide net, and then couldn't solve the case for a long time, then as a murder drama, it would be too poor to watch, and Uzo would not allow this to happen.
Vodka: "..." In addition, when the murderer left the knife at the scene, he definitely didn't think "someone asked me to keep the knife", but he thought he left the knife "independently"...
Thinking about it, a possibility emerged in Vodka's mind.
——Could it be that the murderer wants to use this knife to assign the title of "murderer" to other people in the crew?
"..." No wonder this time, there are so many actors on stage, so many that he can't remember~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that the plot is quite complicated...
Beside, Otaki Police Department's eyes glanced over Vodka inadvertently, and he couldn't help being startled: This trainee detective is so absorbed in thinking, and sometimes shows a little "I see!" expression... As expected of Jiang Xia's recognized assistant , Although it is not known exactly what "Mr. Yamada" deduced, at least his attitude is not a problem.
…
After all, the Otaki police department is a policeman who often cooperates with Hattori Heiji, and he has a lot of experience in how to get along with detectives.
At this moment, thinking of the two detectives next to him, he was determined and decided not to speculate randomly, but to instill more information into the detectives and wait for them to spit out the answer.
So the Otaki Police Department organized the notes on the notepad and began to check everyone's alibi:
"During the time I was talking about, the people who weren't there and were alone...huh? There were only two of them—only this assistant who was hanging out, and the one who didn't live with anyone else, An actor who went to stay in a hotel alone. Can you tell me what you were doing at the time?"
