" But then again..." Officer Megamu picked up a photo frame on the table and said," Mr. Panuchi, this photo is of you, Miss Aida, and another lady. May I ask who this lady is?"”
Shinichi looked up and saw that the photo was a photo of the author, Peach, and a very beautiful woman at the beach. The woman was really beautiful and looked very similar to Miss Peach.
"This is my wife!" The comment said," She's also Peach's sister!”
"Oh! So that's how it is!" Officer Megamu nodded." So you're Miss Aida's brother-in-law!”
"Not bad!" The commenter nodded.
At this moment, Takagi returned with a wanted poster that he had just torn off not far away.
The commenter looked at it and said,"It was too sudden!" I didn't see the murderer's face clearly, but…but he looks a little alike!”
Shinichi frowned. He had a premonition that there was no bald man at all. This guy should be the murderer. If he used his mana to know what he was thinking, he would be able to confirm it immediately. However, Shinichi did not want to do that. He wanted to try and see if his reasoning ability could solve this guy's criminal methods.
Immediately, Officer Takagi said,"Immediately issue an emergency arrest warrant!"”
"Please! Takagi was already a wanted criminal. He had been wanted for a long time!”Officer Sato said helplessly.
"That's right!" Officer Takagi rubbed his head and chuckled.
Shinichi walked to the side of the judge and said,""Mr. Aouchi, what is Miss Aida's personality like?”
The commenter was silent for a moment before lowering his head and saying,"Very cheerful, likes to socialize, and has a lot of friends! She had lived abroad before she was twenty. After returning to Japan, she had been active in various fashion magazines. You can help me complete some works while being a model! She was a very beautiful and outstanding woman!”
"I see!" Shinichi nodded. He saw a trace of panic and cunning in this guy's eyes. He was already certain that he was the murderer.
Shinichi lowered his head and thought for a moment." Officer, I don't think it was done by robbers!" he said.”
Everyone was stunned. Officer Megure asked in confusion,""Kudo, what do you mean?"
Shinichi said," It's very simple, Mr. Panuchi. You just said that the murderer was holding a weapon inside an iron rod, but Miss Aida was strangled to death with her hands." Since the murderer had a weapon like an iron rod, why did he go so far as to strangle Aida with his hands instead of killing her with a stick?! Wasn't it strange that he didn't use a weapon when he had one?”
The commenter's expression changed, but Officer Mu Mu and the other two suddenly understood. Officer Mu Mu said,""That makes sense! What is going on?"
"Could it be that the criminal saw Miss Aida's beauty and wanted to violate her? During the process of Aida's struggle, due to her fierce resistance, the criminal had the intention to kill her. He did not have time to pick up the iron rod and strangled her in anger?”Officer Sato said.
Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Then, he seemed to have caught on to something in his mind and said,"This is indeed possible, but it feels strange! " If it was a robber with an iron rod, it shouldn't be…" As he said that, he looked at the comments and found a band-aid on his right index finger. His heart immediately became clear and he couldn't help but understand the scene of the crime.
However, how did this guy create a fake criminal? Shinichi was still puzzled.
"Peach! Little sister!" Suddenly, a beautiful young woman in her twenties rushed in and cried loudly.
Shinichi and the others recognized her. She was the woman in the photo. She was the wife of the commentator and the sister of Miss Aida.
"Li Zi! Why are you here?" The commenter was shocked and quickly went forward to support her.
That woman was Aida Peach's older sister, Aida Reiko, who was now called Aouchi Reiko. When she saw the comments, she immediately pulled her and cried,"Honey, what's going on? How did Peach die? What happened?"
"Lizi, don't be too sad! The police were already here! We will definitely be able to catch the murderer…"
Officer Megami walked up and said,""You are Miss Aida's sister, Miss Reiko? I'm Detective Megure from the police department. I'd like to ask you about the situation…"
While Officer Mumu and Reiko were talking, Shinichi turned around and pulled Officer Takagi to the side.""Officer Takagi, I would like to ask if there were any other discoveries at the scene of the deceased's body. Even if it was just a small detail!”
Officer Takagi was stunned. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying,""Oh right, we found pollen on the items scattered at the scene! It was the pollen of the flowers left at the scene!”
"Pollen? The flowers left behind at the scene? That's Casabianca!" Shinichi lowered his head and pondered, then turned around and left.
Shinichi walked into the living room and was comforting the crying Reiko.
Xin Yi looked around the living room and then looked at a large cabinet at the side. He walked over and opened it to take a look. Then, he frowned and closed it, saying,"There's something very strange!"
Everyone was stunned. Xiaolan asked," Shinichi, what's so strange?”
"When Mr. Pingnei and Mr. Takeshita came, the door wasn't locked!" Shinichi pointed at the door and said. Why didn't you lock it? Normally, robbers and thieves would lock the door when they broke in, right?”
"Is he just about to leave?”The commenter raised his head and said.
"Then, at this time, Mr. Takeuchi and Mr. Pingnei arrived!”Shinichi said.
"Of course, this is a coincidence!" said the commenter.
"Actually, I've been thinking about the same thing for a long time!”Shinichi said," Are there really bandits?”
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked. Only the commenter's expression was gloomy and silent.
" Although the whole house is in a mess, it's obviously done on purpose," Shinichi said." Many valuable things have not been taken away!" I think this case should be a murder case disguised as a robbery."
"This…in that case? My sister was deliberately murdered?!”Li Zi was shocked.
"No matter what, the one who attacked us is the murderer, right?! He was in this room at that time, there was no mistake!”" The bald, burly man with a wound on his forehead…"
"Yes, this is where I don't understand!”Shinichi turned around and said," There's more! This is it!" As he spoke, Xin Yi opened the cabinet and took out the item inside. It was a flashlight.
"Why is there such a big flash in the model's room?!”Shinichi smiled.
Li Zi looked at it and said doubtfully,"I think I've seen this flash before. It should be…it should be yours, right?”As he spoke, he looked at the comments.
"Yes, this is mine!" In the comment section, he said," Peach is not only interested in modeling and filming, but she also loves photography! I lent it to her!"
Shinichi touched the flashlight and said,""This flash still has some residual heat! Miss Aida should have used it, right?"
"She said she wanted to learn photography! Maybe that's possible!" said the commenter.
"That's even stranger!" Shinichi said," There's one thing missing in this room, and that's the camera! Since Miss Aida is interested in photography, I've seen this room just now. There's a darkroom in charge of developing photos, and there's still some residual heat from the flash. However, the most important thing was that there was no camera. Wasn't it unbelievable?!”
"This…maybe it was stolen by a thief!”said the commenter.
Shinichi was speechless. He slowly walked to the door of the house and found that Xiaolan was spinning in circles.
"What are you doing?" Shinichi asked.!”
" Look, Shinichi!" Lan pointed at the door." There's a huge full-length mirror there!"”
He looked around and saw a huge full-length mirror by the door.
Xiao Lan looked at the mirror and smiled.”
"What's so difficult about that?" Shinichi smiled. I'll get someone to make one and send it to your house tomorrow!”
"No! I was just casually saying! I don't have a place to put it…Eh! Strange!" Xiao Lan said," I can only see half of this mirror standing like this!”
Xin Yi was stunned. He looked at Xiao Lan and saw her standing by the wall. As expected, the mirror only reflected half of her. Upon closer inspection, the mirror was actually placed diagonally!
At that moment, Shinichi suddenly had an idea."That's right! I understand now! That review used this method to create the so-called criminals! He was indeed the murderer! " But I don't have evidence yet…Wait…" Shinichi turned around and walked into the room. He looked at the bag and tripod inside the room and immediately used his x-ray vision to take a look."This guy is too careless! He had not disposed of the evidence yet! If I'm not wrong, the decisive evidence is that!”
Shinichi immediately went to look for Officer Takagi and asked him to investigate something.
Soon, Officer Takagi returned and told Shinichi that it was just as he had said. Shinichi could not help but smile.
Hence, Shinichi called everyone to the main entrance and placed the flashlight in the corridor. The light was facing away from the main entrance and facing the large mirror.
"Actually, I can't figure out why the flash still has heat!”Shinichi said," It was Xiaolan who helped me find the answer!”
Everyone was stunned. Officer Megure said,""What exactly happened? Kudo, make yourself clear!"
"It's the dressing mirror at the door! It could only shine on half of the body because it was slanted!”Shinichi said," Using these two items, we can complete a method to create a virtual murderer who doesn't exist in the first place!”
Then, Shinichi took out a big umbrella that was already in the room and opened it to block the light. He said,""First of all, the murderer placed this flash in the blind corner of the door and covered this big umbrella in front of the camera! Then, he tilted the mirror! The moment Takeuchi-san opened the door, the murderer would activate the flashlight. The light would shine on the umbrella and reflect on the mirror, then reflect on Takeuchi-san's eyes. He would then be unable to see anything!”
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Lan said," So, the murderer is indeed in the house! Otherwise, how could he press the switch?!”
"No!" Shinichi said," The flash can also be controlled from a distance! It was a piece of cake for a professional photographer! This flash belonged to Mr. Pingnei. If he turned on the flash function of his camera and pressed the shutter, the flash would capture the signal through infrared rays and start to light up!”
"Wait! "According to what you said, the murderer is…" Officer Megure said in surprise.
"Not bad! The murderer is you! Mr. Neize!" Shinichi pointed at the comments section.
"What?" Everyone turned their heads and looked at the comments.
Shinichi said," I wanted to hit Mr. Takeshita's head with the weapon in my hand at the same time that Mr. Shinai pressed the flash switch. Because Mr. Shinai is taller than Mr. Takeshita, and when the flash came on, Mr. Takeshita naturally covered his eyes and retreated. At this time, it would be very easy for Mr. Shinai to hit his head! Mr. Takeshita had no idea what had happened. Also, the murder weapon should be the tripod that you were carrying. Any professional photographer would carry it with them! You just need to knock out Mr. Takeshita, then put away the flashlight and knock yourself out. That will do…"
"Nonsense!" The commenter shouted," Do you have evidence?”
"You want evidence? Two points! First, I want to ask Mr. Pingnei, did you come to this house before the attack today?!”
"No! Absolutely not!" The commenter shouted.
"But, you should have the camera you took from Miss Aida in your bag, right? What's going on?" Shinichi smiled.
When the commenter heard this, he sneered and opened his bag, revealing his camera."I do have another camera in my bag, but it's not Peach's. It's mine!”
"Is that so? "But there's…" Shinichi smiled.
"If you want to talk about fingerprints, then they can't be used as evidence at all. Peach is my sister-in-law, so it's normal for her to touch my camera! If you want to say that there's something wrong with the photos here! Then go ahead and take a look!" The commenter sneered.
"No, I can't! Of course there won't be any photos!" Shinichi said," I think you should have changed the film a long time ago! However, there was still conclusive evidence! That is pollen!"
Pollen?! Everyone was shocked. Shinichi said,""Yes! It's the Casabianca that was left behind at the scene. I asked Officer Takagi to go to the nearby flower shop and ask. This flower was bought by Miss Peach this morning! Mr. Panei, if I'm not wrong, there should be Casabianca pollen on that camera. Can you let us identify it? If so, please explain why there was pollen on the camera since you were not here today!”
" This…This…" The commenter's face turned pale.
"The second is your tripod!”Shinichi said," You hit Mr. Takeshita with a tripod. Although you wiped the blood off it, we can definitely detect a Luminol reaction if we examine it. Mr. Pingnei, do you want to check it?!”
Megure glanced at Sato, who stepped forward and said,""I'm sorry, Mr. Pingnei. We have to check!”
"No need!" The commenter knelt down and cried,"It's all that woman's fault! I…I like her so much. She…she actually dared to reject me. I…I…"
Li Zi had a look of disbelief as she pointed at the comments with a trembling finger."What…what did you say? You…you killed Peach because…because she rejected you…"
"Not bad! I like peaches! Today, I beg her once again to be with me and let me have both of you at the same time! But…but…"
"But she rejected you, so you had evil intentions towards her and wanted to rape her. In the end, she bit your finger, and you killed her in a fit of anger, right? The wound on your finger should be caused by Miss Aida, right?”Shinichi said.
At this moment, the commenter didn't deny it and just cried,""It's all that woman's fault…It's all that woman's fault…"
This time, Reiko could no longer hold it in. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Officer Megamu and the others panicked and quickly ordered people to send her to the hospital while arresting the judge.
