Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 679

"Mr. Lai Ren."

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on the Andalai man, who was swallowing his saliva. A lot of sweat had already appeared on the delicate gentleman's face, and his pupils also dilated.

"Where is the murder weapon, Mr. Lai Ren?"

"I, how do I know?" The Andarai's lips were dry, his hands were in the pockets of his jeans, and the back of his black shirt on his upper body was soaked in sweat.

"Just look at the traces of scale in the tank of the fish tank," Gao Cheng continued, "compared to yesterday, it is lower than yesterday. The reason for this is that something that was originally in the fish tank was taken out. Mr. Lai Ren should be very clear..."

"what?"

Yamamura Cao looked at the Andalai together with everyone, and Conan also raised his head, and looked straight at the fish tank after seeing the Andalai.

"Could it be..."

"Yes, obsidian was often used in the Jomon period, especially as a weapon," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "If you smash the obsidian hard, there will be many sharp fragments, which can be used as a murder weapon to cut Miss Akane If the neck is small, it is easy to hide afterwards...

"It was my hammer that was used to break the obsidian. It was the hammer that I put in the roof tool bag and prepared to nail the tent. It happened to be scattered on the ground with other knives..."

"But," Shancuncao asked doubtfully, "isn't there no footprints?"

"Because it was prepared before the rain, using our hammer will not arouse any suspicion, and it happens to be in the forest to avoid the sound of being found breaking obsidian," Gao Cheng paused, "That is to say , this incident is actually a temporary killing intent, that is, Mr. Andarai who saw the stone in the fish tank and immediately judged it to be obsidian, the murderer is you!"

"Wait a minute!" The Andalai man looked shocked, and anxiously argued, "I'm just familiar with stones, other people... the old lady should know it too, right? Also, don't you know it too?"

"But you are the only one who has the chance to kill someone," Gao Cheng said calmly, "Mr. Lai Ren, do you still remember the situation when the crime happened? After hearing Miss Qian's cry, everyone rushed over..."

"D-Of course I remember..." Andarai smiled ugly, "But you can't say I'm a murderer just because I arrived first, right?"

"Then what's the matter with your shoes?" Gao Cheng looked straight at him, "Miss Qian just collapsed in the entrance, don't say that you still have time to put on your high-top shoes and even tie your shoelaces Well done, everyone was stepping on the heels of their shoes at that time..."

"This……"

"That is to say, you didn't rush there at that time, but you were there from the beginning, and you killed Miss Xiaoqian there!"

Gao Cheng made the final judgment.

"Of course, it's fine if it's just like this. The most important thing is the bloodstains. Only you have bloodstains on your body. You stayed at the scene and pretended to be the first to arrive. It should have been to prevent the bloodstains on your body from arousing suspicion, but this way , on the contrary, it shows that the murderer is you..."

"So that's how it is," said Yamamura Cao, looking seriously at the silent Andalai man, "then is the murder weapon still on him?"

"It should still be in the fish tank." Gao Cheng looked at the bottom of the fish tank and found a piece of obsidian fragments covered by a large obsidian. "The obsidian here is the best place to hide the murder weapon. When Mr. Lai Ren said he was going to the bathroom I happened to be close to the fish tank too, either I threw it into the fish tank, or I had to put it somewhere else, but...

"It's true that putting it in the fish tank can hide it from the police, but in this way, there is no way to deal with Miss Qian's blood and his own fingerprints, and Mr. Lai Ren has no time to wipe it..."

"You're right," the Andarai lowered his head decadently, "I thought it was safe..."

"What's the motive for the murder?" Yamamura snorted, "Isn't that woman your very important guest?"

The Andarai shook his head: "If it's not impossible, who wants to be a bartender to please this kind of woman all day long? I had planned to quit my job soon, because my parents borrowed money from the financial club opened by her father. The money was finally paid off, but that woman..."

"But?"

"She deliberately tricked my parents into buying stocks, and as a result, they owed a large amount of debt, and they had to repay three times the money." Let me be her servant for the rest of my life... I am not suitable for women's favor. I used to work hard to pay off my debts, but when I think that I will not be able to escape in this life, I will..."

"But," Guangyan said urgently, "what's the matter with that red-handled kitchen knife? Why did the old woman lie?"

"The old lady did sharpen the knife in the kitchen." Gao Cheng looked at the old man who squinted his eyes, "and also hid the kitchen knife in the warehouse after the incident, but the purpose should be to protect his grandson?"

"Eh? The grandson of the old lady?" Mitsuhiko was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Kahara Fuya who had been silent all this time, "Could this big brother be the grandson of the old lady?"

"Indeed," Xiao Ai observed, "he seemed to know the location of the toilet and the kitchen very well from the beginning, and when he came, he knew that the old lady was the owner here..."

Xiangyuan Fengya faced Xiao Ai's questioning with sweat profusely: "This is because... Actually, that Mr. Xiangtai asked me! He asked me to see how my grandma, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is doing well. I I found out at that time, only his grandma lived in the house..."

"really?"

"Okay, it's still early, let's go back and catch up on sleep. The car will almost be repaired by then."

Gao Cheng watched the police take the Andalai away, paused, and put the tested camping knives back into his bag, but the hammer, which had been neglected, was taken away by the police.

"Hey, hey," Gao Cheng wondered, "Officer Shancun, we have to go camping, can you take the hammer away now?"

"Well," Shancun scratched his head, "It's evidence anyway...I'll buy you another hammer later, anyway, Detective Kido helped a lot this time."

Gao Cheng: "..."

It's like giving a hammer as a reward...

"I'm sorry," Kahara Fuga found the policeman who was packing up the props, "That kitchen knife with a red handle... If there is no problem, can you let me put it back..."

"Yes, yes."

The murderer had already been taken away, and the criminal police didn't intend to take away the irrelevant knives, but they were a little strange about Xiang Yuan Fuya's behavior.

"Thank you." Kahara Fuya took the kitchen knife, silently looked at the word "Xiangtai" engraved on the back of the knife, his complexion changed slightly.

"This little brother," said the old lady standing aside, "if you know my grandson, please tell him, don't worry about me, just pay attention to your body..."

Kahara Fuya's fingers trembled, and she nodded with her back to the old woman: "I will tell him... Old woman, can you give me this knife? If I want to give it to him, he will be very happy."

"of course can."

The old man walked towards the back room with his hands behind his back, and only when he passed by Gao Cheng did he speak again: "It's amazing to be a great detective at such a young age... Let's have a meal before leaving, and the little brother over there will also eat together."

"Okay, there are still a lot of ingredients," Gao Cheng picked up the tool bag, and looked at Kahara Fuya, who was choked up and crying, "I'll go get it in the car."

This time I did prepare a lot of ingredients for camping. Of course, it is impossible to eat only curry, and there are many ingredients for barbecue.
