Chapter 58 is over——

"There is no doubt that this case was a premeditated murder."

"Nishihara, you have a strong desire to kill Akikawa, and you also like to kill people cruelly."

"Not only did you break Uesugi's tongue while he was still alive, you also broke his jaw after he died."

"The weapon you used to strangle Uesugi was a wig you found in the warehouse next door, and you even tried to destroy the evidence after killing him."

"You committed the crime before the second act of the stage play began and just as the second act began."

"We have confirmed that you, Nishihara, had a motive to kill Akikawa, and we also found the murder weapon used for strangulation in your bag. You also have no alibi for this period of time."

"Excuse me, do you have anything else to say?"

"Or do you want to wait until the DNA test results on the wig come out before you confess?"

Megure Jusan looked at Nishihara Koichi, whose hands had been handcuffed by Chiba Kazushin, and asked in a deep voice.

"I told you it wasn't me!! You got the wrong person from the beginning to the end!!"

Nishihara Hiroshi shouted at Megure Jusan with a livid face, and was so angry that he almost died.

According to Nishihara Koichi's original judgment.

If I were to be the worst-case scenario, and the real murderer was caught by the detectives and the police,
Then I can also use the reason that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to reduce my guilt.

As Yoko Okino said.

Koichi Nishihara committed two violent assaults when he was a student.

He was also called to the police station for questioning at that time.

So Koichi Nishihara knew it very well.

The degree of sentencing will be very different depending on whether it is "spontaneous intent" or "premeditated".

The truth is that he killed the lighting engineer Uesugi and wanted to frame it on Akikawa Sorasuke.

But I can say this matter as——

He just had a conflict with Uesugi by chance, so he accidentally killed someone, but it happened to be seen by Akikawa Sosuke.

But when he was about to attack Akikawa Sosuke, he suddenly repented and did not do anything cruel.

Although the result of committing murder yourself will not change, it will be much better than murdering someone else when sentencing.

What's the result now?
The police not only concluded that this was a premeditated murder.

He also said that he had brutally murdered the victim.

If he were convicted with such a result, the nature of the crime would undoubtedly be much worse.

And the most important thing is.

Except for the fact that I did kill someone, the rest of the things were not done by me at all!!
A very strong feeling of being wronged came over me.

However, no matter how aggrieved Nishihara Koichi was, he knew who had put the blame on him.
But he had no way of telling the truth.

Besides, he didn't think that he would be reckless if he told the truth.

The detectives and criminal police in front of him will believe in themselves.

at this point.

Koichi Nishihara believes that his only chance of escaping the crime is to convince the detectives that Akikawa Sousuke is the real murderer.

The reason why Nishihara Koichi was so confident was that Akikawa Sosuke had touched a real murder weapon.

And his body was stained with the blood of the dead.

"As long as Qiuchuan is still a suspect, you can't convict me!"

Nishihara Koichi thought in his heart and shouted again:
"You have to believe me! The real murderer is Akikawa!"

"You identified Qiuchuan as the murderer, but where is your evidence?"

Megure Jusan was annoyed by Nishihara Koichi and asked in a deep voice.

"I saw Qiuchuan committing the crime with my own eyes!"

"I saw him fighting with Uesugi. His body was covered with Uesugi's blood, and then he strangled Uesugi's neck with a rope!"

"That's ridiculous! Akikawa was in his dressing room when the victim was killed." "Besides, if you saw from the beginning that it was Akikawa who committed the crime, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Kogoro Mori was also very angry about Koichi Nishihara's extremely ridiculous remarks.

"Because Qiuchuan is my junior in the company, I originally wanted to conceal this matter for him, but I didn't expect Qiuchuan to actually want to frame me!"

"Mr. Nishihara, you said you saw Brother Akikawa strangling Mr. Uesugi with a rope. What happened at that time?"

Conan walked up to Koichi Nishihara and looked up to ask.

"Akikawa pinned Uesugi down, and then used a rope to tighten Uesugi's neck from above!!"

Koichi Nishihara recalled the scene of Akikawa Sosuke committing the crime that he had created at the beginning.

I believe that as long as the police can find the real murder weapon and find the victim's blood on Akikawa Sosuke's body,

Akikawa Sosuke will definitely still be suspected of being the murderer.

By that time, Akikawa Sosuke's attempt to frame himself would backfire and increase his suspicion.

Just when Koichi Nishihara was desperately trying to grasp the last ray of hope.

Suddenly, I saw the elementary school student standing in front of me and gently adjusted his shining glasses.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nishihara is indeed the murderer."

"what?!"

Nishihara Hirokazu was stunned, then became furious:
"What do you know, little brat?!"

"I'll tell you why."

Masumi Sera was also beginning to lose her patience with Koichi Nishihara.

She spoke with a cold expression:
"Mr. Nishihara, the lies you made up are full of loopholes."

"Not to mention that Akikawa had a perfect alibi when the victim was murdered."

"Secondly, no rope fragments or fibers as mentioned by Mr. Nishihara were found on the deceased's neck or fingertips."

"Unless someone deliberately did it, how could it be possible that strangling with a rope would not leave any traces?"

"Finally, the strangulation marks on the victim's neck were located higher up on the neck, and the angle of the strangulation marks was vertical."

"This means that the deceased was strangled from behind while standing or sitting, and not what you said, Mr. Nishihara, that Akikawa pressed him down and strangled him from above!"

"Since you said that, it can only prove one thing."

"That means you didn't see any murder at all, and you're still trying to put the blame on Qiuchuan!"

Masumi Sera's voice exploded in Koichi Nishihara's mind again like a thunderclap.

In his buzzing brain, only this last thought remained:
"It's over——"

Sera Masumi walked up to Nishihara Koichi with a gloomy look and said softly:

"Your ability to frame others is extremely poor, Mr. Nishihara."

Sera Masumi's words made Nishihara Hiroichi's eyes go dark and he collapsed instantly.

Megure Jusan looked at Nishihara Koichi who fainted due to excessive excitement.

I know that this case has also come to a conclusion.

He ordered the police to take Nishihara Hirokazu away, and at the same time asked the police to thoroughly search the Imperial Theater.

Look for the chair that was used as the murder weapon, as well as the protective clothing and motorcycle helmet described by Akikawa Sosuke.

After giving all these instructions, he ignored Kogoro Mori who was standing beside him and came to Masumi Sera.

A smile appeared on his slightly fat face.

"I have to thank Sister Shiliang for her help this time."

"It's okay. Finding the murderer is what a detective should do."

Masumi Sera glanced coldly at Koichi Nishihara who was being carried away like a corpse, and then smiled at Juzo Megure.
