A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 204 Can Your Idea Be More Bad?

Ed McCann
That annoying gossip entertainment reporter was lying on the ground with terrified eyes, and was shot to death. There were almost no traces left on the scene. For some reason, the murder weapon was thrown on the scene. A revolver .

"Let's seal off the hotel. The body is still not cold enough. The murderer should still be in the hotel. Hattori, go and call the police."

The uncle made a decision immediately, but it was also the most suitable for the current situation. Hattori did not hesitate, walked aside and started calling.

The Minister Hattori's own son called, and the police came to the scene very quickly, honest and honest police officer Otaki.

Seeing that the uncle and others were also present, their faces darkened. They met three times in total, each time at the scene of the crime. The detective and the police really had a fate.

……

"The deceased should have struggled a few times after being shot. The pistol was indeed the murder weapon. A gunpowder smoke reaction was detected on it, but there were no fingerprints. The deceased was identified as American journalist Ed McCann, and his belongings were not lost. It is certain that this was an accident. Intentional Homicide."

The above are the preliminary conclusions drawn by the police at the scene, and the detailed results will take some time to come out.

Hattori and Conan are no longer at the scene, but ran out to find clues. For them, the police's conclusion is only the first step in solving the case, which can be easily deduced.

The hotel has six floors, and the deceased is in the middle room on the second floor, a room that does not need lights.

According to Xiao Lan, Rika Barre is in charge of the fifth and sixth floors, Mike Nord is in charge of the third and fourth floors, and Ray Katis is in charge of the first and second floors. From the surface, Ray Katis is the most It is possible to commit a crime.

But at that time Xiaolan was instructing Ray Katis to turn on the light on the first floor. There was no more than three seconds between when the light was turned on and the window broke. He had no time to commit the crime.

As for Mike Nord and Rika Barre, they also have alibi. They have been running around on their respective floors and have no time to commit crimes.

The alibi of these three people seemed to be very perfect, but Hattori still saw something tricky from it, that is, when they heard the sound of glass shattering downstairs, they didn't see the figures of the three people, only saw Keep turning on the lights, there are loopholes to exploit.

When Hattori came to the storage room, he heard two waiters discussing the football used as a gift, one was missing for some reason, but they clearly remembered to buy enough.

The discussion between the two was printed in Hattori's mind, and it will be kept as a clue for the time being. Go in and check each room, and finally when the symbol was formed at that time, the last room with lights, which is what Ray Katis said He stopped in front of the door of the room at the time of the incident.

Walking into the room, everything inside was arranged similarly to other rooms, but Hattori's intuition told him that there was something wrong here, but he hadn't discovered it yet.

When he saw the mop being put into the cabinet, Hattori felt a little doubtful, it was so weird, who would put the mop in such a secret place.

Suddenly thinking of a certain possibility, Hattori turned around and came to the place where the indoor chandelier switch was located, lay down on it and observed carefully, and finally found a slender and slight trace under the switch.

A look of excitement appeared on Hattori's face, and he opened all the places where he could hide things, looking for what he wanted, until he lay on the ground, and when he saw the almost thick wooden board under the bed, his eyes flashed with enlightenment, and then he was a little distressed. Pat the head, things are in trouble.

According to his previous temperament, he had already gone outside to announce that the case was solved, but this time the situation was a bit special. Once the murderer was found out, the blow to Conan would be devastating.

……

"Aren't you going to help find clues?"

"No, I already know who the murderer is."

Haibara's eyes widened, revealing an inconceivable gaze. She has been staying with Noah the whole time, and the other party has never been anywhere. Can this solve the case?

"Who?"

"Ray Cattis."

When he came behind the two, Hattori froze when he wanted to speak. He originally wanted to discuss the case with Noah, and then discuss how to tactfully persuade Conan, but he didn't expect that the other party had already seen the murderer.

Then a hint of doubt flashed across his face, he didn't see Noah when he was looking for clues just now, how did he figure it out, when he was about to open his mouth to ask, Huiyuan asked first.

"How did you see it."

"At that time, only those three sports stars were active in the hotel room. Although everyone had an alibi...but this Ray Katis is Conan's idol, so he is the murderer."

……

After listening to the explanation, a few black lines appeared on Hattori's forehead. The two sentences at the beginning of the explanation aroused his great interest, but later on, it became nonsense.

"What are you talking about? Why are you talking about Conan again?"

Huiyuan was also speechless, she overestimated this person, at first she made up nonsense, but then she started to make up nonsense.

"You don't understand this, Conan is a great plague god, it's unlucky wherever he goes, so..."

"It's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs!"

Hattori's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, and Noah almost drew his sword in fright. He had talked too seriously with Haibara just now, and didn't pay attention to the many people behind him.

"I heard everything, I will tell Conan in a while."

Hattori joked half seriously and half jokingly, but Noah didn't care at all, and sat on the sofa carelessly, just in time to see Conan coming down from the stairs.

"Conan, come here, someone wants to sue you."

"No, I'm busy."

……

Noah spread his hands to the service department in a demonstration, saying that he had delivered them to the door, but the other party refused.

Hattori was also helpless, and suddenly felt sympathy for Conan in his heart. The uncle was angry and punched him twice, and seeing Conan's reaction just now, I am afraid that Noah usually bullies a lot, it is not easy.

"You have a constipated expression on your face. What are you thinking? Say something quickly."

Noah knew that at such a moment when a homicide occurred, Hattori came to him because he must have something to discuss, otherwise he would have been busy solving the case.

Because he was aware of Noah's temper, Hattori didn't care, and hurriedly told the case process and his own concerns, asking Noah to help him out with an idea.

"Look, what did I say? The murderer must be Ray Katis. He really is a great plague god."

... Can you put your attention in a more correct way? Is it time to consider the results of your nonsense? The most important thing is how Conan will deal with it.

"It's not easy, just don't let him know. I'll put a sack on him later to make sure he wakes up until dawn. You can rest assured to reason."

……

Hattori suddenly lost the desire to communicate. This bad idea is so bad that it can't be any more bad. If it is true, Conan will be even more depressed when he sees the news tomorrow. He didn't even see his idol for the last time, so he won't break up with them Strange

"Forget it, let me think about it myself, you keep busy."

Hattori was defeated, and the idea of ​​talking to Noah was suppressed in his heart, and talking too much would only give him a headache.

When I came to the scene of the crime, I saw Conan busy looking for clues and thinking seriously.Hattori didn't know what to say for a while.

He could see that something was wrong with Conan's current situation, because he seemed to have completely ruled out his idol as a suspect, and had no reason to trust him. If this continued, he would never be able to solve the case.
