Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1344 [Principle of Killing]

"So it is."

The Otaki Police Department has experienced too many murders recently, and the brain that didn't turn around very much moved more slowly.

Hearing what Jiang Xia said, he didn't think much about it.When he looked at the vodka again, the suspicion in the eyes of the police department disappeared, and there was only a trace of disappointment: people who were thinner than this man in sunglasses were caught on the street, and this clue really did not have much reference value.It would be easier to do it the other way around... But I can only remember this feature first.

Vodka took a sneak peek from the corner of his eye, and found that the policeman was watching him, from full of suspicion to gradually full of calm. Not only was his heart not at all relaxed, but he tensed up with a sense of crisis.

Vodka: "..." Wu Zuo said that he was not suspected, but the police believed it so simply.

... Then what if Uzo said he was suspected in the other way?

As a member of the organization, even if he is only "suspected", he also faces the risk of being silenced - it's just that this method is too straightforward and lacks artistic sense, so Uzo doesn't often use it.And if one day, Uzo abandons his principles...

Vodka shuddered, as if he had seen that terrible future.

He silently pushed his sunglasses, and decided that when he was alone in the future, he would hide as far away from Uzo as he could, and always pay attention to the opponent's position when approaching, and resolutely prevented tonight's mistake from repeating itself.

……

While Vodka was silently filling in his blank knowledge about Uzo.

Next to him, the style of the painting in his mind is completely different, the detectives and the police are still working diligently to solve the case.

Although a large group of witnesses who came out for shopping at night failed to see clearly who the figure who escaped from the murder scene in the dark was, after all, there were enthusiastic detectives present and there were still many clues left at the scene.

Soon, Otaki Police Department got other extremely useful news.

"You saw the scene of the crime at 07:30, and immediately called the police. At this time, the deceased on the ground had died." Otaki Police Department looked at the content just written down in the small notebook, and confirmed to several people, "And Before that, around [-]:[-], when you left the hotel, did you see the dead person going out?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

The Otaki Police Department breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, the matter is clear. The time of death of the deceased was between 07:30 and [-]:[-]. The murder weapon was a prop used by the crew..."

He turned to several of his subordinates: "Call over the crew and ask them who didn't have an alibi during that time!"

……

The hotel is not far from the shrine.

Not long after, a group of people from the crew came near the shrine.They looked at the corpse on the ground, showing expressions of fear, shock, or panic.

The Otaki Police Department listened carefully to the relationship between the members of the crew, slapped their heads, and suddenly had an inspiration:

"The murder knife used in the murder was taken from the crew, the blood left by the deceased, and the word 'コマイヌ' was written, which refers to the stone statue at the entrance of the shrine—combining these two points, the identity of the murderer It's already clear. The only person who interacts with the production crew and the shrine is the assistant lady who lives in the shrine!"

"...Me?" Mamegaki Taeko was startled, her face was ugly, and she waved her hands again and again, "I did leave for a while, but it was just to go home to get something."

Next to her, her fiancé assistant also took a step forward and stood in front of her: "Miaozi can't kill people!"

Yoko Kinoshita was familiar with them, and she testified in a low voice: "When we went shopping just now, we not only met the deceased who was going out, but also met Taeko at the gate—she has an alibi."

"..."

Mao Lilan looked at the Otaki Police Department, tilted her head in doubt, and whispered to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko in a low voice: "I don't know why, this police officer looks very friendly when he solves the case."

Jiang Xia looked at the Otaki Police Department, and nodded slightly: ...It has a bit of the charm and demeanor of Mori Kogoro.

"...Oh, so there is an alibi. I'm sorry, there are too many people on the set, so I misremembered it." Otaki police department cleared his throat shamelessly, and changed the topic.

He turned to urge the subordinate who was checking the murder weapon: "Get the fingerprints out as soon as possible!"

The subordinate shook his head in embarrassment: "Police Department, there are no complete fingerprints on it - judging from the general traces, someone wiped it specially."

As a professional who is often in charge of mopping up, Vodka glanced at the knife and snorted coldly: The murderer is really a stupid waste-just take the knife away and throw it at the bottom of the river far away, it is no better than wiping it and then throwing it away. Is it better to throw the knife on the spot?Without this knife, the scope of the murderer would be infinitely expanded. Unlike now, the murderer was immediately locked among the crew members... No, wait a minute.

In the middle of the criticism, Vodka suddenly came to his senses: I am afraid that this is not something the murderer can control himself, but that he was hinted and influenced by Uzo through some channels that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, so he deliberately left the knife behind him. Crime scene.

——Otherwise, if the police really ran outside and cast a wide net, and then couldn't solve the case for a long time, then as a murder drama, it would be too poor to watch, and Uzo would not allow this to happen.

Vodka: "..." In addition, when the murderer left the knife at the scene, he definitely didn't think "someone asked me to keep the knife", but he thought he left the knife "independently"...

After thinking about it, a possibility appeared in Vodka's mind.

——Could it be that the murderer wants to use this knife to assign the title of "murderer" to other people in the crew?

"..." No wonder there were so many actors on stage this time, so many that he couldn't remember them all.It seems that the plot is quite complicated...

Beside, Otaki Police Department's eyes glanced over Vodka inadvertently, and he couldn't help being startled: This trainee detective is so attentive in thinking, and from time to time he shows a little "I see!" I don't know what "Mr. Yamada" inferred, but at least there is nothing wrong with his attitude.

……

After all, the Otaki Police Department is a policeman who often cooperates with Hattori Heiji, and he has a lot of experience in how to get along with detectives.

At this time, thinking of the two detectives next to him, he was determined and decided not to speculate randomly, but to instill more information into the detectives and wait for them to spit out the answer.

So the Otaki Police Department organized the notes on the notepad and began to check everyone's alibi:
"During the time I was talking about, people who weren't there and were alone... huh? There were only two—only this assistant who was hanging out, and the one who didn't live with anyone else and went to live alone The actors in the hotel. Can you tell me what you were doing?"
