In the villa where the crime scene happened, the investigation was carried out in an orderly manner. Police Chief Mu Mu crossed his arms and waited for the results. In the end, the forensics team came to the same conclusion as Doi Takagi. Hamano-san was strangled to death within an hour.
Doi's previous conclusion was that Hamino died within half an hour. The time difference between the two results was because the police took more than 20 minutes to arrive at the villa.
Conan asked," Police Chief Megure, was Master Harui really killed by someone?"”
Initially, everyone thought that Master Harui had died from an ordinary performance accident. However, Ye Ling unlocked Mr. Bino's phone and confirmed that he had bet ten million on a gambling website before the incident and that Master Harui's performance had failed.
In the end, Harui-sama really died on stage…
Prior to this, Mr. Hamano was a behind-the-scenes staff member of the Yokohama Theater, but after Master Harui's performance accident, he suddenly chose to resign. All of this seemed to indicate that Hamano-san was the one who caused Harui-san's death.
"This…we've always thought it was an accident.”Police Chief Mu Mu explained.
It turned out that before he went on stage, Harui-sama had confirmed that there was no problem with the props and had clamped the glass key between his toes. He had used the key to perform his escape technique in the water dungeon. From his audition to his performance on stage, no one had touched the glass key except himself. Obviously, no one could harm him.
" Glass is a fragile object. We deduced that Master Harui-san might have accidentally broken the key when he unlocked the lock, which caused the shackles to be unable to be opened. The police finally found the broken glass key in the water dungeon.”Police Chief Megamu rubbed his plump chin and muttered to himself,"" As for Bino-san's gambling, perhaps it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse…"
Conan could not help but frown. Although Police Chief Megure's explanation was fine, wasn't Hamino's desperate bet too crazy? The money was borrowed. How could he dare to bet all of it? Unless he was sure that the performance would definitely fail.
"The problem lies in that key."
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the hall. The person who spoke was Ye Ling. Everyone looked over.
"What do you mean?" Police Chief Megami asked curiously.
"The police's deduction is based on the fact that Harui-sensei broke the key and failed to perform.”Ye Ling said unhurriedly," But from the live broadcast, it doesn't seem like that. He tried to open the lock several times. This means that he found out that he couldn't open the lock first. After several attempts, he accidentally broke the key."”
Doi Takaki nodded with a serious expression." So the key was switched?”
" No, from the beginning to the end, the key was hidden between Harui-sensei's toes. No one could have switched it.”
"Then why can't the key that can open the lock before the stage be unlocked after the stage?”Yuan Zi and Xiao Lan were also curious and asked Ye Ling in confusion.
"Because that glass key was tampered with by Mr. Binye from the beginning.”Ye Ling voiced her guess. "He grinded down a sharp tooth on the key and stuck a sharp tooth made of crystal sugar with a high degree of clarity in place. Of course, this is just my guess.”
Everyone came to a sudden realization. Yuan Zi clapped his hands and exclaimed,"I understand now! Therefore, backstage, Master Harui had no problem unlocking the door. However, after entering the water prison, the sharp teeth made of rock sugar melted in the water, and the key without teeth naturally could not open the door! Besides, the only person who could do such a thing is Mr. Binye, who works behind the scenes. He also has enough motive to commit the crime…"
Police Chief Mumu's expression was very ugly. So this was not an accident, but a complete murder...
" Hehe... So he's the murderer..." Upon hearing these words, Tanaka Takeshi let out a sorrowful laugh.
"Hmm?" Constable Mu Mu stared at her in confusion and asked,""I wanted to say it before. Have we met somewhere before?”For some reason, he felt that Tanaka Takagi looked very familiar.
Gui Jiuhui didn't want to hide it anymore and confessed,""Mr. Policeman, don't you remember me? After my grandfather passed away, you even came to ask me questions.”
Police Chief Mu Mu hesitated for a moment before realizing something and turning pale. You're Harui-sama's granddaughter?"
Everyone was stunned.
"What is it? Miss Tanaka is Master Harui's granddaughter?”
"Wait, could it be that she killed Bino-san?”
Only Ye Ling and Doi Takaki's shock was fake, because they already knew about this.
Upon hearing everyone's discussion, Gui Jiuhui laughed self-deprecatingly." To be honest, I really don't believe that Grandpa died in an accident. That's why I've been looking for the murderer and want to take revenge with my own hands. I just didn't expect that someone else would beat me to it in the end…"
……
"Police!" Detective Takagi suddenly shouted and ran in from outside." I found something suspicious outside."”Everyone looked and saw that he was holding a handkerchief, a data cable, and a glass bottle.
When he saw that the data cable was made of a waterproof material, Police Chief Megamu's expression changed." This! Could this be the murder weapon? Forensics personnel, immediately compare this data line with the strangulation marks on the victim's neck!”
The forensics personnel immediately ran over to get the data cable, but Takagi reminded them,""And this bottle and this handkerchief. I just opened the bottle and almost fainted after inhaling a little bit of the smell with the wind.”
……
After checking, their guess was confirmed. The data line was consistent with the strangulation marks on Binye's neck. It was undoubtedly the murder weapon. Just as Takagi had expected, the bottle contained an anesthetic called ether.
"I see. No wonder there were only strangulation marks on Mr. Binye's neck but no scratch marks. That's because he was in a severe coma when he was strangled to death, so he didn't struggle.”Huang Yi came to a realization.
Doi looked at Tanaka Takeshi and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the murderer was not the granddaughter of his old acquaintance.
" There is a charging head in the suitcase but no data cable. It seems that he is the murderer who killed Mr. Hamano. After he committed the crime, he threw the thing far away in the snow outside..." Police Department Megami concluded.
"Then why did he kill Mr. Hamano?" Conan asked curiously.”
"It should be related to computers." Ye Ling said," Perhaps Mr. Hamino discovered the remote surveillance in his computer and wanted to blackmail him or something. So, he killed him to silence him."”
"Yeah, I think so too." Police Chief Mu Mu nodded in agreement with Ye Ling's opinion. For some reason, he felt more relaxed working with this young man than when he was working with Kudo Shinichi.
Conan frowned. Was that really the case?
Why do I feel like the scumbag is the one who was silenced? It was as if he had been framed by the real murderer. In order to prevent him from speaking up, he had been silenced by the real murderer.
However, he had accidentally fallen to his death in front of everyone…
Hehe, I should be worrying too much…
