Chapter 86

"Not only can I not protect you, but I will send you to prison with my own hands, sorry."

Kikue Tanaka's expression changed when she heard this sentence. Although she didn't know what the famous detective had discovered, she was very confident in her modus operandi. , there is no way to prove yourself.

The complex gazes of everyone did not shake her, she said calmly:
"I said, Mr. Maori, I was almost shot by the murderer just now, and you were there at the time, how come it turns out that I am the murderer now? Ms. Maori, you saw me when I was attacked, right? ?”

"Indeed..."

Mao Lilan looked at his father, who rarely raised a majestic aura, and at the smiling Tanaka Kikue, and chose to tell the truth.

Even though it might embarrass her father, she would rather not turn innocent people into criminals because she lied.

"Look, Mr. Detective, both you and your daughter can testify for me." Kikue Tanaka said with a calm smile.

"I did see you being attacked, but it's true that you were the murderer..."

"Then tell me how I was attacked, how I killed Mr. Hamano and transported him here?"

"Uh……"

In the freezing snow, Mori Kogoro began to sweat continuously, and his left hand in his trouser pocket was tightly clenched into a fist.

He knew that the murderer was the beautiful Miss Tanaka in front of him, but he couldn't figure out how the other party achieved this bloody performance, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

"You don't need to bother Uncle Maori with such trivial matters, I'll do it for you."

Gu Shuiquan came out more and more, one sentence attracted everyone's attention, Mouri Kogoro, who was originally the focus of attention, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know how Mori Kogoro found out that Kikue Tanaka was the murderer, but since it's rare for him to cheer up once, let him restore a little bit of the image in Mori Ran's heart.

Moreover, if we wait any longer, that kid Conan might start acting like a demon again.

"Oh? Mr. Gu, you also think I'm a murderer?"

"That's right, Uncle Maori's judgment is correct."

"When I was attacked, both Mr. Maori and Ms. Maori saw it with their own eyes. Tell me what happened. If I was the murderer, who was the one who attacked me?" Kikue Tanaka looked at Gu Shuiquan confidently .

"Xiao Lan, please tell me what you saw. What did you see when Ms. Tanaka was attacked?"

"Okay." Mao Lilan saw that her father had nothing to do with Miss Tanaka's doubts, so there was a grateful expression on her face.

"My father, Conan and I accompanied Ms. Tanaka to her room to get clothes. We were waiting at the door, when suddenly an arrow shot through the glass of the balcony door and nailed to the wall. The arrow almost hit Daddy, you startled him."

"Look, am I right?" Kikue Tanaka became more composed.

"Xiao Lan, did you see the whole process of the crossbow bolts being nailed to the wall through the broken window outside the house? Or did you just hear the sound of the broken window and see the crossbow bolts nailing the wall?"

Gu Shuiquan guided Mao Lilan to recall the details without haste.

"I really didn't see the whole process of the crossbow bolts being nailed to the wall through the broken window outside the house..." Mao Lilan tilted his head and recalled carefully, "It should be that I only heard the sound of glass being broken and saw the crossbow bolts being nailed to the wall. wall."

"Are you guys guessing some riddle? Is there any difference?" Kikue Tanaka frowned.

"There is a big difference. There are many possibilities for the process that can lead to the same result. Magic is a performance based on such varied possibilities."

"Your screen name is Red Herring, right, Mr. Doi Tower?"

Doi Takeshu's heart skipped a beat when he was called suddenly, and he nodded nervously.

"The red herring fallacy is a very well-known fallacy in logic, that is, the fallacy of diverting the topic, usually by inserting an irrelevant topic, thereby diverting the reader's or listener's attention to another topic, winning controversy."

"This principle is also often used in magic shows and mystery novels to mislead audiences and readers."

"Xiaolan just heard the sound of glass breaking and saw the bolts nailed to the wall, and the so-called theory that the bolts entered the house through the window was completely made up by her own brain. The most reasonable process has been added."

"However, common sense and fact are not the same concept."

Gu Shuiquan paused, glanced at Kikue Tanaka who started fiddling with his fingers unconsciously, and continued:
"There may be many kinds of processes that caused the result that Xiaolan saw. One of them is, Miss Tanaka, you broke the glass of the balcony door with some kind of mechanism, and used this kind of sound to attract the attention of the three spectators. Then take the opportunity to secretly shoot crossbow arrows into the wall with a crossbow."

Just as Kikue Tanaka was about to speak, Gu Shuiquan turned his gaze to Mao Lilan.

"Xiaolan, did Miss Tanaka turn her back to you at that time? And when you heard the sound of glass breaking, were you all attracted to look towards the balcony?"

"Well, that's true." Mao Lilan nodded.

"I said, even if what you said is reasonable, then you can tell me what the so-called mechanism is. Is there really something that can achieve the effect you said?"

"I don't need to know." Gu Shuiquan said calmly looking at Kikue Tanaka.

"I say……"

Before Tanaka Kikue could speak, Gu Shuiquan interrupted her and turned his gaze to Doi Takshu.

"Look for professional people for professional things, such a simple trick should be easy to do, Mr. Doi Tower?"

Doi Tukeshu, who was stared at by Gu Shuiquan's sharp eyes, nodded with a embarrassed expression, "It's really easy."

"Then I will trouble you to show it to Miss Tanaka."

"……Okay, I know."

……

Kikue Tanaka's room on the second floor of the villa.

Doi Takshu dragged his obese body to busy front and back, and finally placed the organs.

"Okay, pay attention, I'm about to start."

Doi Takshu stood in front of the bed, with his back to the crowd, reached into the quilt and groped for a while, and then suddenly the glass of the balcony door was broken, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the noise.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Doi Takeshu secretly shot the crossbow to the wall behind him, side by side with the original crossbow.

Of course, he wore gloves to protect his fingerprints.

Then he got up again, pretended to check on the balcony, pushed open the balcony door, and immediately there was the sound of glass breaking from the bathroom window directly below the room.

"Are you satisfied, Miss Tanaka?" Gu Shuiquan looked at Kikue Tanaka.

"Hmm, I didn't expect Mr. Doi Tower to be so good at magic tricks. It's a very wonderful performance."

"But I couldn't kill Mr. Hamano, because I was boiling hot water at that time. It took 8 minutes to burn firewood. In such a short time, I had to go to Mr. Hamano's room to do this wrong thing." A possible crime, isn't it too far-fetched?"
