Then again: "Why don't you set off will-o'-the-wisps?"

Miss Spider was sitting on his lap knitting iced black tea. After hearing this, she raised her head and glanced at him: You are already an adult psychic, don't make trouble unreasonably.

Jiang Xia looked regretfully at the quarreling brother and sister, and found that even in the quarrel, their murderous intent was quite limited, so he interrupted: "I probably know who the murderer is."

Officer Takagi was sitting on the sofa next to him, planning to catch up on his sleep quietly. Suddenly hearing this, he braced himself: "Really?"

Jiang Xia nodded and patted Maya Hashimoto next to him: "After Mr. Hashimoto's exquisite reasoning just now, we can already know that the murderer is probably an acquaintance of the deceased."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." I was obviously hiding behind the sofa, how on earth did you see me.

...Could it be that someone betrayed me?

His eyes fell on Curacao.

Curacao: "..." Does this person have persecutory delusions?

Forget it, considering his current situation, don't bother with him.

The brief confrontation between the two people had nothing to do with the righteous police officers and detectives beside them.

Jiang Xia quietly poked the ghosts to tell them to hurry up and collect the goods, while continuing without interruption: "Actually, when we heard gunfire and broke into the old lady's room on the second floor, the room was dark and we couldn't see anything clearly.

"But on the other hand, the situation at the scene showed that after the old lady noticed the intruder, she calmly took a few steps towards the window - which shows that the deceased could actually see the murderer's face before he died."

A group of people were stunned when they heard this.

"You mean..." Koji Furukawa asked in disbelief, "my mother has night vision?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Miwako Sato glanced at him silently. She didn't know for a moment whether this guy was interfering with solving the case, or if he simply had a bad brain. She corrected: "This means that when the deceased was attacked, it was not completely dark, so the lights were not turned on in the house..."

As she spoke, she felt something was wrong and looked at Jiang Xia: "If the person was killed before dark, then what was the gunshot you heard not long ago?"

Jiang Xia: "That was the falsetto used by the murderer to forge an alibi - the gunshots we heard were not real gunshots, but just the sound coming from the TV.

"At that time, a station happened to be playing a detective film, and there was a shooting scene in it. The deceased tried to make us hear the gunshot, pretending that the shooting of the deceased happened at that time."

Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment: "I have an impression of the video you mentioned, but..."

Before she was summoned to the police by an emergency call, she was actually busy watching TV in the office: "But the show premiered today, and no one knows what time the gunshots were fired. How could the murderer use this time accurately?"

When Furukawa Koji heard this, he suddenly understood something. He jumped up and looked at his sister in shock.

Jiang Xia also looked over and said to Sato Miwako: "I don't know if you have noticed. Miss Furukawa Etsuko's occupation is the president of a film production company - the film you mentioned happens to be produced by her company. ."

Jiang Xia flipped through the information that Maya Hashimoto had just checked: "The false gunshot we heard was around 7:30 in the evening, 7:29 minutes and 32 seconds to be precise. It just corresponds to Miss Furukawa. The shooting time in that movie about the club.”

"So the murderer is my temporary client, Ms. Etsuko Furukawa."

Etsuko Furukawa clenched her fists tightly, her expression extremely ugly.

Jiang Xia started from the beginning: "Miss Furukawa is the daughter of the deceased and knows the layout of the room very well. Before the incident, Miss Furukawa set the TV to a specific station, turned the volume to the maximum, and then turned off the TV.

"Then she hired detectives to come up with the perfect excuse for her search for her mother, and she also found a witness.

“Before the detectives arrived, when it was just dark, Miss Furukawa climbed up to the bedroom on the second floor using a ladder, and while the deceased was still dazed, she shot her mother with a pistol equipped with a silencer.

“Then she took away the TV remote control from the bedroom, left the murder scene, changed out of her smoke-stained clothes, and reappeared in front of everyone as if nothing had happened, pretending that she had just returned home.

"Because Ms. Furukawa came to see the detective to discuss the attack on her mother. So when the deceased didn't show up, she could naturally call the maid and go to the second floor to call someone.

"Then she just needs to find an excuse, such as something dropped or her shoelaces are untied, and she squats down in front of the bedroom, and then she can quietly press the switch of the TV in the bedroom through the gap at the bottom of the bedroom door.

"The TV was fixed on a specific channel. At that time, that channel was the scene of the shooting - the TV was turned on by remote control, the gunshots in the detective film sounded, and the TV was turned off by remote control. After this set of procedures, a scene was created out of thin air. of shooting.”

Koji Furukawa murmured: "So the blue-white light I saw was not a will-o'-the-wisp, but the colored light from the TV broadcast?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Of course, there are no ghosts in the world, how can there be will-o'-wisps?"

Furukawa Koji showed a learned expression.

Jiang Xia continued: "If you want to use this technique, the time must be stuck extremely accurately. So Miss Furukawa temporarily changed to an electronic watch and decorated it with a metal strap, trying to make people ignore this fact.

"In addition, the TV in the living room is broken, and it should be Ms. Furukawa's fault. If someone happens to be watching the same channel downstairs, they can easily think that the gunfire is actually the sound from the TV, so she will be in trouble. ”

Furukawa Etsuko froze like an ice sculpture. After a moment, she said angrily: "Proof..."

"As for evidence, in addition to the coat that is difficult to handle properly when you are in a hurry, there is also the remote control in the bedroom on the second floor."

Jiang Xia: "Because we were worried about the safety of the old lady, we kicked open the door. After you saw the body, you fell to the ground sadly and refused to leave. But at that time, you were not seriously grieving, but taking advantage of others' absence. Note, take out the TV remote control and push it towards the small table, letting it slide along the floor and under the table, so as not to arouse suspicion because of the lack of remote control in the bedroom.

"It's just that you didn't control your strength well. The remote control slipped right under the table, but it's in a position where it's difficult to accidentally drop it - your fingerprints should be on the remote control."
