Accidental Death

"The earliest legend of Huihunxiang comes from China. It is recorded in "Han Wu Nei Zhuan" that "Huanhun tree is like maple and cypress, and its flowers and leaves are fragrant. Its roots are boiled in a kettle to get juice, refined and lacquered. , It is Xiangcheng, and its names have six names: Huihun, Jingjing, Huisheng, Zhenling, Majing, and death. For those who died of epidemics, burn beans and Xu Xun to revive them, so it is called Huihunxiang'.

"In ancient China, there was a story about the emperor ordering people to burn incense to return to their souls. The eldest daughter in "The Tale of Genji" also longed for the return of incense to meet her dead father."

After Ayatsuji pedestrian finished speaking, he looked at Kumi Hanazawa, "Is this what you're talking about?"

"Yes, that's what Mr. Ayatsuji said," Hanazawa Kumi sighed, and then tightened his cuffs to add, "After that incident happened in the morning, Yoko said that the fire in this room seemed to be something that Naoki had brought from overseas. That precious spice."

"'Because of work, my father would occasionally go overseas on business trips, and he would bring back a lot of strange things every time, and this spice is one of them'," Police Officer Mu Mu said after looking at the record in his hand, "Miss Igarashi said so... you can ask her again later, but Miss Igarashi has been emotionally unstable after learning about her father. Ah, yes, this is that kind of spice .”

After all, Police Officer Megure took a sealed bag containing spices from the person beside him and handed it to Pedestrian Ayatsuji.

The detective didn't seem to be interested in it, and returned it to its original place after just one glance.

"But isn't it just a legend that the Resurrection Incense can bring people back to life?" Edogawa Conan looked at the contents of the sealed bag and frowned secretly.

Speaking of which, there is indeed a faint fragrance in the air, is this the fragrance of returning souls?

Police officer Mumu replied: "...That's what I said, but there was no one in the room when the incident happened, and no one has the ability to leave that kind of death message."

He added: "In order to avoid accidents, we have sent the body of the deceased for examination, but no results have been reached yet."

Edogawa Conan: "Officer Megure, could it be that someone with a special personality can enter this room, or do such a thing remotely?"

"No," Police Officer Megure shook his head, "After the incident, we did a (personality factor) activity test for everyone, and confirmed that no one used personality during that time."

"Is that so..."

The use of personality requires the use of personality factors in the body, and taking blood to test its activity can confirm whether the subject has used personality.

Now that it has been tested, it proves that no one really used the personality during that time.

Even though no one entered the room, the victim's body moved and left such a message of death.

Could it be that Igarashi Naoki was really revived under the effect of the soul-returning incense?

In the secret room surrounded by fragrance, the souls of the dead are called back and leave a message to identify the real culprit who killed them... Is it possible for this kind of thing to happen?

Edogawa Conan looked at the blood letters on the floor that were darkened by oxidation.

"yodgd".

What does this line mean...

Conan Edogawa looked at Ayatsuji pedestrians.

There seems to be a natural aura about the detective, which can make the temperature of the surrounding things drop suddenly.

——No prisoner would want to confront this kind of detective, would he?

As the youngest professional hero in history, Conan Edogawa has naturally heard the name of Ayatsuji Xingren, and at the same time knows that the other party has not appeared in public for several years.

When he met Ayatsuji Xingren in the Phantom Thief Kidd incident last time, he was really surprised, and he didn't expect to meet again so soon.

What does Ayatsuji pedestrian think of this incident?Could something have been discovered?

"Miss Huaze, are you Japanese?" Suddenly, the person he was watching asked.

"Hey, this... I'm of Japanese-English mixed race," Kumi Hanazawa replied after a moment of stunned attention, "I've been living in the UK before, and that's where I met Naoki, because we've been dating for a long time and considered living together. I went back to Japan this year."

"Really?! Ms. Hanazawa is fluent in Japanese," Police Officer Megure admired, and then looked at the pedestrian Ayatsuji, "Mr. Ayatsuji, is there anything else that needs to be investigated here?"

"No, let's go see the victim's daughter," said Ayatsuji pedestrians out of the room.

No need to investigate, does it mean that it has been discovered...?

Edogawa Conan turned his head back blankly and looked around the whole room, and then his eyes suddenly touched a certain place by the window.

When Edogawa Conan rushed to the reception room on the third floor, almost all the people in the villa were already there.

After all, a murder case just happened, and the resurrection was involved in such a weird thing, everyone's faces were faintly tinged with fear.The atmosphere in the room is dignified, and the air is extremely cramped.

Conan Edogawa glanced at where Kogoro Mori was, quietly ran behind the sofa, and opened the scope.

Kogoro Mori was stunned with an anesthetic, and then used a voice changer to disguise himself as the other party to solve the case.

This is his consistent approach.

He aimed the cross at Kogoro Mori, but when the anesthesia injection was administered, someone picked up his collar suddenly.

"Conan, really, where did you go before?" Mao Lilan complained in a low voice.

"Ahaha, I went outside to play for a while..." Edogawa Conan looked at Mori Kogoro, who was still standing beside Police Officer Megure.

- The shot missed!

Edogawa Conan secretly thought it was bad, but he couldn't show it in front of Mao Lilan, so he could only follow the other party honestly.

"Miss Igarashi, this spice is the 'Returning Soul Incense' that your father brought back from overseas, right?" Ayatsuji said.

Yoko Igarashi's eyes were slightly red, with tear stains: "Yes. Ms. Hanazawa also knows about this."

Hanazawa Kumi nodded.

"Why do you think the Resurrection Incense can revive the victim?"

"...Is this the only possibility? Just now the police officer also said that there was no one in that room," Yoko Igarashi said, sobbing softly again, "When my father brought Xiang back, he said it was very strange. Famous spices...may have magical effects when ignited."

"That is to say, the dead were revived under the influence of this spice, and then left behind the English word."

Ayatsuji pedestrian repeated as if in deep thought.

"Sister Igarashi, do you have something to say to Teacher Ayatsuji?" Conan Edogawa asked curiously, tugging at the corner of her clothes.

"Hey," the girl was taken aback, as if she didn't know why Edogawa Conan would ask such a question.

Edogawa Conan said innocently: "Because my sister has been staring at Ayatsuji-sensei for a long time?"

"Really?! Sorry," Yoko Igarashi realized that she had been distracted before.

"Because of my personality, I didn't pay attention for a while," she explained with some embarrassment. "My personality is similar to divination. I can predict what people will encounter in the future. But the scope is very vague...it's basically useless."

Then she looked at Ayatsuji Xingren and hesitated, "It may not be appropriate to say this when we meet for the first time... But you'd better be careful about 'dead people' recently."

Ayatsuji pedestrian looked up at her: "Dead?"

Tsujimura Fukatsuki's eyes widened when he heard the word.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, you may be involved with this word in the future," Yoko Igarashi said with some uncertainty, "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

"En," Ayatsuji pedestrians responded and fell silent again.

Police officer Megure hesitated: "Mr. Ayatsuji, do you have an idea of ​​who the prisoner is?"

Ayatsuji pedestrian said indifferently: "You said the prisoner - the prisoner is here now."

After hearing this sentence, the faces of the people in the room all changed.

"what?!"

"Officer Megure, please be safe," Ayatsuji pedestrian stood up and threw the sealed bag on the table. "Let me think about it... let's start with the information left by the victim after his resurrection?"

"Ah, yes."

In any case, the final message of death left by the deceased is crucial.

"But what does yodgd mean?" Tsujimura Fukatsuki asked, "It seems that there is no such word in any foreign language."

"That word is not 'yodgd'," Ayatsuji pedestrian continued, "The victim used a substitution encryption method called 'Caesar cipher' when leaving the cipher."

"Caesar's code?"

"This is the encryption method invented by Caesar during the Roman Republic. It converts the letters in the plaintext into codes according to a certain offset. If there is no special note, the offset defaults to 3. That is, ad, be, cf...and so on."

Tsujimura Fukatsuki: "In reverse, y corresponds to v, o corresponds to l, d corresponds to a, and g corresponds to d."

Officer Meguro thought for a while and said, "Then 'yodgd' corresponds to 'vlada (Flada)'?"

"..." Yoko Igarashi's face faded instantly, "This name..."

She looked at Kumi Hanazawa in disbelief: "Miss Hanazawa, this is... your English name, right? You were the one who killed your father?"

Hanazawa Kumi, who was questioned by Igarashi Yoko, looked stiff, and when she found that everyone was looking at her with fearful eyes, she panicked and said, "Impossible! That's not the case, I don't know anything. How could I kill Naoki? !"

Conan Edogawa looked at Ayatsuji pedestrians, and the corners of his mouth twitched after seeing the faint smile on the detective's face that could be mistaken for an illusion.

——Knowing the truth and deliberately doing this, it's really wicked.

"But how do you explain this secret signal?" Mori Kogoro stepped forward and pushed Ran Mori, who was very close to Hanazawa Kumi, behind him.

Igarashi Yoko was full of tears, and looked at Hanazawa Kumi with hatred: "Why did you kill my father? Is it because he has been refusing to marry you?"

"No, I really didn't—and I didn't ask to marry Naoki at all," Hanazawa Kumi took two steps back, "It's really not me..."

The code clearly indicated the murderer's identity, but Hanazawa Kumi's appearance did not seem to be pretending.

Officer Mumu looked at the pedestrian Ayatsuji, hesitantly: "Mr. Ayatsuji..."

The detective raised his eyes and looked at the people in the dispute, and said slowly: "The person referred to by this code is indeed Miss Huaze, but the murderer is someone else."

His ochre-colored eyes reflected the slender figure of a young girl: "Miss Igarashi... what do you think?"

The author has something to say: It's the second watch late at night, as usual, everyone go to bed early, and watch it again tomorrow morning.

1. The password has been slightly modified, and the delirious word was written wrong before.The reason for saying that the murderer was not Hanazawa is actually obvious.

2. We must firmly believe in science! !

3. The original text was used for the previous chapter, and the original text is pasted here.Tsujimura Shenyue No.1 said:

(Ango Sakaguchi) "In this era where evidence and confessions can be fabricated, the only thing that can prove the absolute truth is superhuman abilities. Do you understand what I mean?"

The principle of Ayatsuji-sensei's special ability activation is completely different from other abilities.The teacher's special ability can only be activated based on absolute truth.In other words, neither a disguised prisoner nor an answer derived from a mistake in reasoning can activate this deadly ability.Under such conditions, it can be proved that the person who died in the "accidental death" is the real murderer.

——Possess the special ability of the perspective of God.

The special abilities launched by other supernatural beings often only reflect the subjectivity of the supernatural beings. However, the special abilities of Mr. Ayatsuji are not the same. They are not based on Mr. Ayatsuji’s subjectivity, but are only launched on the real culprit in an objective state. fatal abilities.In short, it can completely rule out the possibility of unjust guilt or guilt.

The reason why people are afraid of Mr. Ayatsuji's special ability and think that such ability is dangerous is precisely because of this kind of absolute authenticity-in this world where black and white are not distinguished, the absolute truth can be marked, an extremely rare special ability.

"This is the most important order," said Sakaguchi-senpai.

"Whether he refuses, makes a mistake in his reasoning, or fails to solve the mystery within the specified time, the Secret Service Division will deal with him as a super-dangerous supernatural power user should. You must strictly remind Mr. Ayatsuji of this."

The treatment that super-dangerous supernatural beings should be dealt with.

That is punishment.

"No problem," I said.
