Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 46: The Prisoner's Lie

"No, I just have something else I want to ask you, can you give me a little more time?"

Gao Cheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, took one last look at everyone present, and silently closed his eyes to start the one-minute mode.

With the speed of thinking, all the surrounding disturbances disappeared, replaced by the clue picture of the continuous virtual light curtain.

The messy scene is obviously a hasty disguise. At first glance, it is the work of robbers, but some places where valuables are obviously placed are not messy. This can also be explained by robbers because someone came over suddenly, but it was turned over. There is obviously a necklace that seems to be worth a lot of money.

Moreover, why was the door unlocked when the two of Tsubouchi arrived...

Gao Cheng seemed to be in a virtual space, with huge information constantly flashing before his eyes.

The abnormal state of the toilet and toilet indicates that the victim is not the only one in the house, there may be roommates or even boyfriends living together...

Pollen was detected in the relics and even in the entire room, indicating that the criminal disguised the scene as a robber killing after the murder...

And why was the victim strangled to death while the prisoner was carrying a murder weapon like an iron rod?

Robbers don't exist, so Tsubouchi's testimony is very problematic, and his behavior is also very strange... This guy is probably lying, but what about Mr. Kishi?

Gao Cheng quickly searched for clues, and the entire crime scene room was simulated and separated in front of him, unnecessary information was removed, and all details were marked.

The details that are difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to can often explain the problem, so detectives need amazing observation and analysis skills. Now Gao Cheng has turned into a humanoid computer, from the details of the house to every move in the ping. Appear in front of your eyes.

Under the extreme thinking ability, the clues are constantly arranged and combined, even if there are ambiguous places, the simulation deduction is carried out, and the whole case becomes clearer and clearer.

He has basically confirmed who the prisoner is, but there are still some doubts, and then there is evidence...

"Wow!" At the end of a long but short minute, Gao Cheng returned to his normal state, all the clues and pictures surrounding him disappeared, and he returned to the real world.

One minute is too short, and some questions are too late to be verified, but it left him with ideas...

Then it's up to him.

Gao Cheng let out a breath, and turned his gaze to Ping Nei: "Mr. Ping Nei, what kind of person is your sister?"

Tsubouchi met Gao Cheng's eyes, felt guilty involuntarily, but still said calmly: "She is very cheerful, likes to socialize, and has a lot of friends. She has been living abroad before, and she has been active in various fashion after returning to Japan." Magazine. While working as a model, he also helped me complete some works...why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious," Gao Cheng smiled casually, "Does your sister have a boyfriend or roommate?"

"No, she has been living alone." Tsubouchi's eyes trembled, and he looked at Gao Chengdao strangely. "The murderer is a robber, so it should have nothing to do with this kind of thing, right?"

"I don't think it's a robber."

"Huh?" Tsubouchi tightened his fingers.

Gao Cheng said carefully: "Mr. Tsubouchi, you should have seen that Miss Aida has strangled marks on her neck, but the assailant who attacked you two was carrying a murder weapon such as an iron rod, so why not just use a rod?" How about attacking Aida-san? It's strange to think that you don't use a murder weapon even though you have one..."

"Oh?" Tsubouchi turned his gaze to the side, thought for a while and said, "I think the murder weapon should be found from the room later, after all, we have reached the door."

"There was no murder weapon left at the scene... Did the prisoner take the stick away? Although it is still a bit strange, it can be explained, but..." Gao Cheng put his hands in his pockets and looked back to the entrance, "Mr. Tsubouchi, you guys came here The door wasn't locked at the time, right? Don't you think it's strange? The robber is too bold, aren't you afraid that someone like you and Mr. Kishi will suddenly break in?"

"Maybe carelessly,

Maybe he was just planning to leave..."

"That's really a coincidence."

Gao Cheng looked directly at Tsubouchi, further confirming that the murderer was Tsubouchi, but this time the murderer seemed to be different from before, and seemed very difficult to deal with.

The most important thing is that there is no obvious absolute evidence...

"What's wrong?" Sato felt something was wrong, and asked doubtfully, "Kirodo-kun, did you find any problem?"

"Well," Gao Cheng glanced across the silent Pingnei, looking at the magazines scattered all over the room, "The room was deliberately messed up, this case should be a murder disguised as robbery..."

"In any case, the one who attacked us was the murderer, right? He was in the house at the time, that's absolutely true!" Tsubouchi affirmed, "A big man with a wound on his forehead and short black hair..."

"Is this really the case?" Gao Cheng looked straight at him, "This is all your statement. Mr. An didn't see anything at the time. Was it really beaten?"

"what?"

"Actually, I was very surprised just now. What Mr. Kishi said...Mr. Kishi, can you repeat it carefully? Don't miss any details." Gao Cheng turned to Kosuke Kishi and asked.

If the murderer is Tsubouchi, then Kishi Kosuke is either lying or was misled by Tsubouchi. If it is the latter, he already has doubts about the method used...

The slightly hot photography lamps and the full-length mirror placed at the door, assuming that the strong light is used in the tsubo to make Kishi Kosuke invisible when he enters the house, and then what method is used to defeat Kishi Kosuke, this possibility is also very high.

"Uh," Kosuke Kishi recalled, "I don't know too well, but when I opened the door, my eyes lit up, and then I was beaten, and I didn't see anything."

"That's right," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Mr. An didn't even see who beat him."

"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to say I'm lying?!"

Pingnei looked at Gao Chengdao coldly: "Although he is called a famous detective, a kid is a kid. I still hope that the police will investigate thoroughly!"

As he said that, he turned to Sato and the two of them, bent over and said, "Detective Sato, Detective Takagi, please, I'm going home to see my wife, and then I'll go to the police station."

"May I ask you another question?" Seeing that Tsubouchi was leaving in a hurry, Gao Cheng couldn't wait any longer, and directly took out the slightly warm photographic equipment from the cabinet, "What is this?"

"This is my flash." Tsubouchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Aida is not only interested in being a model, but also likes photography. I lent it to her. What's the problem?"

"No, actually I am also very interested in photography, Mr. Tsubouchi, can you teach me how to use this?" Gao Cheng looked at the flash with a curious look.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Tsubouchi shouted, "If you want to learn, you can learn by yourself in the future, and I have to go home now..."

"In that case, I won't be able to let you leave, Mr. Tsubouchi." Gao Cheng looked straight at Tsubouchi, "Is it okay?"

He doesn't know much about photographic equipment, which leaves a big doubt in the 1-minute detective mode. Someone must teach him, preferably Tsubouchi himself.

Tsubouchi and Gao Cheng looked at each other for a while, frowned, and impatiently picked up the flash to operate, first of all, turn on the start switch: "It's very simple, just press the button here again when taking pictures... This way you can right?"

"One more point," Gao Cheng looked at the flashlight and continued to ask, "If there is this flashlight, can it be synchronized when taking pictures? Is there any remote control, such as pressing the shutter of the camera, and the flashlight is on at the same time? "

Tsubouchi's expression was stiff, he was silent and did not speak, Sato next to him said, "Mr. Tsubouchi, can I ask you a favor?"

Following Gao Cheng's questioning, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong, and Pingnei became suspicious without knowing it.

"D-of course." Tsubouchi came back to his senses, glanced at Gao Cheng, picked up the digital SLR camera hanging on his body and said, "Yes, it can be remotely controlled, and it can indeed be done after turning on the flash function of the camera. Anyone who is a professional photographer knows... what's the problem?"

Tsubouchi laughed: "Hmph, do you mean to say that I turned on the flash outside? It's funny!"

"I didn't say that," Gao Cheng stared into Tsubouchi's eyes and said, "It's strange, Mr. Tsubouchi, why do you have such an idea? I'm just asking you about photography."

"You..." Tsubouchi's expression changed instantly: This guy has been deliberately paralyzing himself with questions!

"I have almost understood the case this time." Gao Cheng walked past Pingnei and stood at the door.

"Is it true? Kido-kun!" Sato and the others looked at Gao Cheng closely, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"The key to the problem is the flash."

Gao Cheng placed flashlights and spotlight props amidst Pingnei's ugly face, and then adjusted the angle of the full-length mirror at the door.

"When Mr. Kishi opened the door, the murderer pressed the flashlight and at the same time knocked down Mr. Kishi with an iron rod such as a tripod...Mr. Kishi, try again."

Gaocheng saw that there were stairs just outside the door, and asked Kishi Kosuke to go back to the door, and stood on the steps by himself, making it look like hitting Kosuke Kishi's forehead with a tripod from behind.

"The murderer can attack from the front while Mr. Kishi is being flashed by a strong light, but that will cause some problems. The best option is of course to use the height difference to attack from behind..."

As Gao Cheng said, he turned to Pingnei and said, "Mr. Pingnei, may I trouble you to press the shutter of the digital camera?"

Tsubouchi's complexion changed one after another, and he didn't press the camera shutter: "You guys talk like I'm the murderer. It's a good thing you can talk so much, even if your method can be successful, so what? It's just a guess. What about the evidence? ?”

Pingnei looked at Gao Cheng coldly: "Since you are called a famous detective, you should also know that if you want to say that a person is a murderer, you must have absolute evidence!"

"Yes, there should be evidence." Gao Cheng looked at the backpack slung in his eyes, "The reason why you want to leave the scene for a while is because you want a chance to deal with the evidence?"

"Nonsense! What evidence can I have in my bag?!" Tsubouchi turned around and was about to leave, "I don't want to waste time with you, my wife is still at home..."

"It's so strange, I didn't say that the evidence is in your bag, why are you so sure?" Gao Cheng turned his back to Pingnei and looked indoors, "I've looked everywhere just now, but I couldn't find the key camera ...Don't you think it's incredible? If you weren't the murderer, and the flash was used not too long ago, where did Miss Aida's camera go? Mr. Tsubouchi, can I have a look in your bag? There should be a camera in it."

"boring!"

Tsubouchi's lips trembled, he gritted his teeth and opened his backpack to reveal a film camera: "A professional photographer will always prepare another camera as a backup! That's all!"

"It doesn't look like a digital camera..."

"is it not OK?"

"I still think this is the camera in Ms. Aida's room." Gao Cheng met such a difficult prisoner for the first time, but he continued, "My reasoning is that after you killed Ms. Aida, you took it from the room. This camera... Tsubouchi-san, are you dating Aida-san? So I'm afraid that something will be left in this camera..."

"Stop joking!" Tsubouchi argued, "She is my wife's younger sister, so I can't betray my wife!"

"Then let's check it out? Maybe there are photos left in this camera that can prove your crime."

"if……"

Tsubouchi's face was gloomy, and he faced Gao Cheng coldly, with terrifying eyes: "If you don't find it, what are you going to do? It's all just your own nonsense, if you want to check my personal belongings because of this..."

Gao Cheng fell silent, closed his eyes, and reorganized the analysis results obtained in the one-minute detective mode in his mind.

The reasoning should be fine, and the culprit is definitely Tsubouchi...

"If no evidence can be found," Gao Cheng opened his eyes under the attention of everyone, "then I will never be a detective again."

"Kido-kun!" Sato and Takagi said anxiously.
