Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2510 2514 [Bourbon was exploited]

whisky……

Hearing this key word, Vodka couldn't help but take another look at the wine on the table - sure enough, it was a bottle of bourbon whiskey.

He looked up at the human version of bourbon whiskey beside him... Unfortunately, perhaps because bourbon whiskey is more common on the market, Bourbon himself is completely unaware of this.

Vodka: "..." Uzo even stepped on your face to provoke you, but you are still so slow... What if you get ambushed easily if you continue like this? Cheer up! At least before I return to Brother Gin, you must hold on!

Amid the silent encouragement of vodka, Toru Amuro glanced over here as if he knew something, and then disappeared inexplicably.

Next to them, the police failed to notice the secret communication between the two organization cadres, and they were still concentrating on listening to the detective's reasoning.

As they stared, Jiang Xia pointed at Professor Iwama and said, "In other words, the murderer is this short professor."

Professor Iwama's heart skipped a beat: "You...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Xia looked at him and said, "When you made a reservation at this restaurant yesterday, you first reserved Box 3 for the celebration in your own name, and then you changed your number and called the restaurant, reserving Box in the name of the deceased 'Jintian'.

"Before the dinner, you told the deceased that you had something important to discuss with him and asked him to wait in Room 8. You were both his former teacher and his current boss, so it was not difficult to find a reason for him to go. Therefore, he did not refuse you, but left the table after sitting down and went into Box 8 alone.

"This means that only you and Instructor Arai are left in Box 3. When the first batch of meals arrived and you took the meals, you did not immediately press the button on the delivery boat to have it return, but instead left the boat outside the window.

"Then you chose the right time to ask Instructor Arai to run errands and buy cigarettes for you. You deliberately chose a brand that was not available in the store, so that Instructor Arai had to go to the nearest convenience store to buy them. You used this to get rid of him and gained a lot of time to act alone.

"Of course you were not idle during this time. As soon as Instructor Arai left, you immediately returned to the window, lifted the board, and lay down in the largest food delivery boat outside.

"After putting the boat back on board, you press the return button in the dark. Guided by the sensor, the food delivery boat follows the current from cabin 3 towards the dock.

"When you passed Room 8 on the way, you pressed pause again and stopped at the window of Room 8."

Jiang Xia glanced at the corpse on the table and said, "Although we have known each other for a short time, from what happened just now, you usually behave very approachable and occasionally joke with people of lower status than you. So although the deceased was a little surprised that you climbed out of the boat, he was not too defensive and walked towards you.

“You took advantage of the situation and stabbed him in the heart, killing him instantly.

"Then you return to the food delivery boat and press the button to release the pause. The empty boat carries you to the dock and stops next to the food delivery port of the kitchen.

"Soon, the whiskey you ordered was ready. Although whiskey and ice cubes don't take up much space, the restaurant still decided to use the largest ship to deliver your meal due to your request as an old customer.

"With a bottle of wine and your own weight, there is no need to worry about the boat capsizing. Just like that, you took the food delivery boat and successfully stopped in front of your No. 3 box."

Vodka: "..."

"No wonder I was eating halfway through when I suddenly saw a boat with a strange waterline floating past with a bottle of bourbon on board." He touched his chin and muttered to himself, "I thought the boat was carrying a corpse, but it turned out to be a murderer... Damn, I didn't guess Uzo's script correctly again. Did this guy know I was guessing and deliberately played a trick on me?"

When a certain organizational cadre was speculating darkly.

Next to him, Professor Iwama, who was stunned by the series of reasoning, finally came back to his senses from his shock.

"Wait, that's not right!" Professor Iwama gathered his thoughts and spoke solemnly, "I remember that your and Mr. Amuro's box was next to mine, so you should have been able to hear it. During the time you mentioned, I stayed in my box the whole time. At that time, my contact lenses were lost, and I frantically looked for them for a long time."

Jiang Xia: "Hearing is sometimes unreliable, especially when there is a wall between us - it is difficult to tell whether the sounds are coming from you or the recording device."

"..." Professor Iwama pressed his portable recorder through his briefcase, feeling guilty.

But he had prepared for today's event for a long time, and didn't want to be defeated by a young man who showed up on the way. He kept smiling: "Haha, have you forgotten - it's not just the sound, I also closed the window on the way. That kind of collision sound can't be simulated by a recorder. I was really in the box at that time. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Amuro next to you."

Toru Amuro: "..."

Jiang Xia glanced at Amuro Toru and said, "Speaking of this, you made an appointment with Mr. Amuro to meet here tonight because you were worried that there would be no one next door, so you took the initiative to find a 'passerby' who could hear you.

“As for the window that suddenly closed, it was because you made a simple little mechanism using rubber bands, ice cubes and the wrapping paper of disposable chopsticks before leaving your cabin on the boat.

"You first hammered a thumbtack into the wall and the window frame, and connected them with a rubber band. Then you rolled up a long strip of disposable chopstick wrapping paper into a hollow ball and fixed it on the other side of the window.

"Finally, you push the window open with all your strength. When the open window frame touches the wrapper of the disposable chopsticks, use a thumbtack to fix the window frame and the other end of the wrapper together. Then put an ice cube of the right size in the middle of the hollow paper ball - the dish you ordered includes sashimi, and the one on the plate just meets the requirements.

"After making this little device, you left the recorder behind and left on the boat. After a while of idle playback, the recorder played the sound of you searching for your contact lens.

"At the same time, the ice in the middle of the paper ball gradually melted and soaked the disposable paper bag. The wet paper gradually became unable to resist the tension brought by the rubber band at the other end and finally broke.

"Without the paper, the tight balance was broken, and the window slammed shut under the pull of the rubber band, creating the illusion that someone was closing the window in an empty room.

"After you finished killing the man and returned to your cabin on the boat, you immediately put away the rubber band and thumbtacks, threw the wet disposable paper bag into the water, and then erased the recording in the recorder."
