" In that case," Police Chief Mu Mu remembered when he heard what Kurosawa said. He rubbed his chin and said,""I remember that when I reached into the victim's pocket, the key was indeed in the double pocket.”
" But..." Heiji Hattori was a little anxious."This is very likely to be a coincidence. No, there will be at least one coincidence in ten times, right?”
"Hattori-kun, that's not like what you're saying. You should have thought about it too. This kind of thing will be the same no matter how many times you do it. Think about it carefully. When the key was in the victim's double pocket, which direction was it facing?”
Kudo Shinichi gave an OK sign to the black wood and then shouted coldly.
"Directions?" Heiji Hattori was stunned. He tried to recall and murmured,"The direction of the key?" Heiji Hattori shuddered and exclaimed,"Then, then the key…"
"Yes, the key was folded back then!”" Even if the key really enters the double pockets, only the key ring should be able to enter," Kudo Shinichi said." The double pockets are too narrow and not long enough!" It was impossible for the murderer to fold the key and the key ring into a V-shape, but the key and the key ring were still inside. In other words, the murderer had placed the key in the victim's double pocket from the beginning.”
"Is, is this possible?" "Kudo, can you do that?" Heiji Hattori asked in shock. Also, what about the fishing line I just found in the room?”
Kudo Shinichi lowered his head and glanced at the fishing line. He said lightly,""In fact, it is because of these fishing lines that I am sure that your reasoning is wrong.”
"This…"
Without waiting for Hattori Heiji to ask, Kudo Shinichi showed the white object in his hand to everyone.
When they saw what the item was, everyone cried out in shock.
"These…these are all fishing lines?？”
" Yes," Kudo Shinichi nodded and said,""I just walked around the house and found this. To be precise, this should be a trap set by the murderer to frame this old man.”
"Ah?" Heiji Hattori suddenly understood and shouted,"The real murderer had planned to frame the old man for a long time, so you found fishing lines in many places. In this way, as long as the case was committed, no matter where the old man was, as long as the fishing line was found, the frame would be established.”
" But," Heiji Hattori shouted again,""Just now, that old gentleman admitted to killing someone. What, what's going on?”
"That's because this old gentleman deliberately jumped into this trap! As for the reason, I don't know.”Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly.
"But, in this case, isn't this study a perfect secret room? How did the murderer kill them? Are you trying to say that the victim committed suicide?”Heiji Hattori continued to ask.
"No…it wasn't suicide." Kudo Shinichi smiled." The murderer also left behind clues about the method he used to commit the crime.”
"The real criminal method?" Obviously, Hattori was still confused.
"Have you forgotten? When the victim was found, opera music was playing in the study, and there was a pile of books in front of the victim. This was because the murderer was deliberately hiding it. The opera was played at the exact time when the murderer stabbed the victim with a poisonous needle. The opera was to attract our attention and cover up the screams of the victim when he was poisoned. The book was to cover up the painful expression that the victim might have when he was stabbed.”
Kudo Shinichi was expressionless, but more and more cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Whose eyes and ears did the murderer spend so much effort to hide?”Heiji Hattori was clearly shaken.
"The murderer did this to…" Kudo Shinichi said lightly," Heiji Hattori, you! Of course, it's not just you. Uncle Mao Li and the Kurosawa police officer who entered the study with you at that time. If Xiaolan noticed them, they would have ruined her plan.”
" In that case…" Heiji Hattori understood.
"So I'm sure that the murderer entered the study and was the person closest to the victim.”Kudo Shinichi pointed at Madam Tatsumura." That's right! The murderer is you! Madam Dacun!"
"Furen killed Old Master?"
"No, this is impossible!"
Maori Kogoro said,"So the victim was still alive at that time."”
"Yes, Mrs. Tokamura must have used some kind of drug to make Mr. Tokamura fall asleep. She made Mr. Tokamura assume that position, and then she stabbed Mr. Tokamura to death with a poisonous needle while pretending to call him Mr. Tokamura!”Kudo Shinichi heaved a sigh of relief and continued," It's only natural that no one noticed at that time. After all, the opera has already attracted our attention, hasn't it? Moreover, if the sleeping pills were stronger and the poison needle was applied with poison, the poison would only last for an instant. Mr. Tatsumura might not even wake up.”
" But..." Police Chief Megure asked,""If the sleeping pills are found in the corpse, won't this method…"
"No, we won't find out!" Heiji Hattori finally recovered. He took a deep breath and said,"Because we always thought that the victim had died before we entered the house. Just like what we deduced, the murderer stabbed the victim with a poison needle. In other words, the murderer deliberately brought the detective here and used the blind spot that no one would kill in front of them to carry out a psychological secret chamber murder. Kudo?"
" That's right..." Kudo Shinichi replied.
"If that's the case, show me the evidence. Don't forget that Madam Tatsumura entered the room with us. We didn't see her take out the poison needle at all.”
Obviously, Hattori was not willing to admit defeat.
"That's right! "When Mrs. Tatsumura entered the door, she didn't even take out the poison needle." Kudo Shinichi bent down and picked up the key with the key ring on the ground."But don't forget that Madam Tatsumura also took out something, didn't she? Everyone, look, this key ring is really good. It can be opened. There's tape in the middle. Moreover, that needle seems to be smaller than this key ring, right? It's a good design, isn't it?"
Kudo Shinichi looked at Kimie, whose face had turned pale, and said calmly,""Mrs. Shi, I remember that your key ring is the same as this one, right? Can I see your key ring?”
Officer Megami walked over and said,""Madam, can I see your key ring?”
Mrs. Shi lowered her head but still handed over her handbag.
Officer Megure looked around and soon found the key. He immediately opened the key ring and was shocked by the appearance of the key ring.
"This…this groove is?"
In the middle of the key ring, there was a small rectangular groove!
"That should be where the poison needles are placed!" Kudo Shinichi said lightly. At that time, when Mrs. Shi took out the key to open the door, she also took out a poison needle. Then, while our attention was on the opera, she poisoned Mr. Shi to death. Therefore, this key ring with a groove is the simplest and most favorable evidence to prove that Mrs. Shi was the murderer!”
"But why?" "Why did Mrs. Tsujimura kill her husband?" asked Officer Megami, puzzled.”
Kudo Shinichi slowly walked to the bookshelf beside him and took a photo to show everyone. "The reason should be this, right?”
"Hmm? Wasn't this a photo of Mrs. Shi when she was young?”Everyone looked over in confusion and saw that it was an old photo of Mrs. Shi from 20 years ago.
"Doesn't everyone find this photo a little familiar?" Kudo Shinichi pointed.”
"Familiar?" Everyone was stunned.
Officer Megure took the photo and the others gathered around.
"Ah, Mrs. Tsujimura looks like Miss Keiki Sachiko!" Heiji Hattori suddenly exclaimed.”
"Now that you mention it, it really looks like it!”Maori Kogoro also noticed it.
"Eh?" Katsuki Sachiko was stunned and hurriedly walked over.
"How is this possible?" The other members of the Shi family also gathered around.
"It's true. Look, apart from the color of her hair, she's almost identical!”Heiji Hattori said.
Before the others could say anything, they heard Kimie Tsumura say,""Of course we look alike! Because I'm Yuuko's mother!"
"What did you say?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"How…how could this be?" Katsuki Sachiko was also completely stunned.
After that, they brought up the grudge from twenty years ago. Of course, Heizemu and Xiaolan found Conan in the toilet.
"I told you it was temporary." Looking at the unconscious Conan, Hei Zemu muttered helplessly. Hattori had appeared, Kudo had also discovered the secret of the white wine, and Xiao Ai was not far away, right? Ohohoho…
