Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 13 A real murderer always acts against common sense

"Even if Shimazaki Yuji saw Anzai Morio, he might still be alive, but at best, he would not save him. It cannot prove that he killed Anzai!" Megure Police Department said.

"That's not enough," Conan said.

"But we still have doubts." Kazuto Kaneda felt that he was in a state of being, and under Conan's guidance, he seemed to have suddenly discovered many flaws in Yuji Shimazaki's behavior.

"Since you found the crime scene and found Anxi's message before his death, why didn't you destroy the message but choose to modify it?" Kindaichiji first mentioned the first doubt.

"That's not all. You know that Nachi Shingo and Anzai Morio will meet at 10:30, so you want to put the blame on him, but in fact, the disguise you made at that time was superfluous. You only need to put Destroy the message, and just don’t do any extra things. In this way, as soon as 10:30 arrives, Nachi Shingo will naturally appear at the crime scene, and no matter what he will do afterwards, it will inevitably be related to the case. This The local shrine is located in a remote place, and the time is very late. Anzai Morio is not very popular, and no one will go looking for him on purpose. It will probably be at least tomorrow morning until the body is found. Conan, Xiaolan, and yourself can prove it by then Nazhishingo and Anzai Shounan have such a date, and Nazhishin can't say anything about it. The temperature was slightly lower last night, and the autopsy will inevitably be affected. With the current autopsy technology, the time of death will be at least one to two hours. One or two The margin of error within an hour will be huge. In addition to the four of you who did not have an alibi for this hour, there will be more people without an alibi as the time range expands. You Ms. Mamegaki Taeko will be the less conspicuous one among the many suspects." Conan then expressed his doubts.

"There's only one explanation. You need the police to judge the time of the crime within the hour, and you're risking detection for that, taking watches, stealing clothes, and walking in front of people disguised as Anzai Shounan , and set the alarm clock time to 10:30, so that Xiaolan and others can find the body." Kanedaichiji continued.

"The reason why you do this is to narrow down the scope of suspects, preferably only the three of you." Conan said.

"But what good does this do for him? Isn't the smaller the scope the greater the possibility of his own exposure?" Meguro Police Department asked.

"No. Mr. Nazhi had a date with Anxi at 10:30, and there was a message pointing to him written on the ground before his death. If you are unlucky, you might be caught by Xiaolan and the others on the spot because of the alarm. Don't be too suspicious; Dou Ms. Kaki Taeko has been missing for a long time, and the crime scene is her home, and once the trick of leaving a message before her death is discovered, her suspicion will immediately become the biggest one. Even Mr. There is an alibi, and Anxi’s forged photos increase the suspicion. What are the clues pointing to you? You had a fight with him in the afternoon, but it’s normal for this to happen to the unlovable Mr. Anxi. The time of whereabouts can also be interpreted as buying cigarettes, but you are the one with the least suspicion." Conan analyzed.

"In the beginning, things did develop in the direction you expected. Nachi Shingo was listed as the real culprit first, and was almost taken away, and then Mr. Mori exposed the trick of leaving a message before death, and Ms. Mamegaki Taeko became The murderer, coupled with Mamegaki Taeko’s confession, the case is considered finalized. The remaining suspects will not be subject to more detailed investigations, and the real culprit will be at large!” Kazuto Kaneda said.

"That's right, I was also deceived by your scheme at the beginning. This time is really the Waterloo of my detective career. Fortunately, Mr. Kindaichi woke me up and reminded me of these doubts. Mr. Yuji Shimazaki, you are the one." The real murderer!" Conan said.

"I don't believe it! These are all your conjectures, there is no evidence at all!" Mamegaki Taeko suddenly yelled: "I stabbed Anxi to death with a knife, and I hid the bloody clothes I took off in a tree hole in the back mountain Inside, this is all evidence of my murder, you can all find it."

evidence?

In terms of evidence, Kindaichiji did not have it.

All his reasoning is reverse reasoning based on the fact that Shimazaki Yuji must be guilty. It was thanks to Conan's help that he clarified the process of committing the crime.

According to Kindaichiji's reasoning, the truth of the case should be like this.

Yuji Shimazaki has always been wary of men who approach Taeko Mamegaki, especially people like Morio Anzai and Kazuto Kaneda.

At around nine o'clock that night, Morio Anzai, Taeko Mamegaki, and Kazuto Kaneda left the banquet one after another. "Why are these two people!" This made him very disturbed, so he decided to look for Mamegaki Taeko.

He left the hotel exactly at 09:30 and arrived at the shrine a few minutes later, where he saw Morio Anzai lying on the ground covered in blood.

Morio Anzai originally thought that he was seriously injured in such a remote place and must be dead, so he wrote the message of [Taeko], but Yuji Shimazaki came at this time.

When Anzai Morio saw Shimazaki Yuji, he undoubtedly saw a life-saving straw, so he tried his best to get Shimazaki to send him to the hospital, but he knew that Shimazaki Yuji had a bad relationship with him.

According to Anzai Morio's character, he must have threatened him with Mamegaki Taeko's black material, or he had threatened himself, but Anzai Morio's attitude angered Yuji Shimazaki. Shimo lost his mind and made up for Anzai Morio, killing Anzai Morio completely.

Shimazaki Yuji, who calmed down, understood that he had made a big mistake, and he had to cover up the traces of his past, but this was impossible.It was very dark that night, and even he himself didn't know if there would be anything left here, so he must have a reason for coming here.

If the crow wants to avoid being found, a good way is to sneak into the coal pile, as long as he finds someone who is more suspicious than himself to stand in the front!
He thought of Taeko Mamegaki, who stabbed Morio Anzai, and Shingo Nachi, who had a date with Morio Anzai at 10:30.

If you want them to stand out, you have to make them as conspicuous as possible.

So he made a series of disguises.

Modify the message before death, confuse the time of the incident, discover the time of the body earlier, and even make the camouflage traces at the scene very lame.

These actions seem to be just blaming Nazhi Shingo, but in fact they have installed double insurance.

If the policeman is stupid, he will regard Nachi Shingo as the murderer, and everyone will be happy if he has nothing to do with him; if the policeman is smarter, he will regard Taeko Mamegaki as the murderer, and he will become a sympathetic person who shields criminals for love.

His scheme has been completely seen through by himself and Conan, but there is no evidence!

Faced with Mamegaki Taeko's questioning and everyone's gazes, Kaneda was at a loss for words. He really didn't know what evidence could support his reasoning.

A moment of silence.

"How about it, do you have any evidence? No! Yuji is innocent!" Mamegaki Taeko cried again.

Shimazaki Yuji also choked up, he was very smart, and he didn't say anything unnecessary at this time, leaving nothing to say.

"Brother Maoli, brother Jintianyi, I admit that the reasoning you mentioned is indeed possible, but without evidence, we really have no way to believe it!"

"Evidence, of course there is such a thing!" Conan said surprisingly.

Kanedaichi looked at the tree in shock, and seemed to be able to vaguely see the corner of Conan's mouth slightly raised behind the tree.

"Mr. Yuji Shimazaki, are you cold?" Conan asked.

Everyone looked at Yuji Shimazaki, who was only wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

It's spring now, and it's normal to wear it this way when the sun is shining during the day, but tonight it's cold in spring and the temperature is low, so it's not normal to wear it this way.

"What's the fuss about that? Morio Anzai usually likes to wear a short-sleeved T-shirt and a vest. He wears it like this during the day. If Yuji wants to pretend to be him, he naturally has to wear it." Taeko Mamegaki retorted.

"That's right, so it's Mr. Anxi who is not afraid of the cold!" Conan continued.

Anzai Shounan is currently wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt.

"What are you talking about? Didn't Mr. Shimazaki take off his vest and hat and put them next to the body?" Megure Police Department said.

"I understand!" Kindaichiji shouted loudly.

"Oh~ do you understand, Mr. Kindaichi?" Conan said.

"Yes, there should be two sets of vests and hats, right!" Kazuto Kinda said proudly.

"What do you mean?" Everyone present was a little confused.

Kindaichiji was a little puzzled, Conan had already pointed this out, even he, who is not very good at reasoning, figured it out, why the people around him still couldn't figure it out?

Is this also Conan's superpower?
Is it the halo of wisdom?

Then why haven't you been affected?

Is it because of the system?
"It's not wrong!" Conan began to explain the evidence while Kindaichi was figuring out the rules of the world.

"We all know that it's cold in spring and the temperature is very low, so we have to wear at least one coat when we go out. No matter how Anxi Shounan is not afraid of the cold, it is impossible to wear a vest when the temperature is comfortable during the day, but not when it is cold at night. What's more, he has to go to two appointments from 10 o'clock to 30:[-] tonight, and he has to stay in this cold environment for at least an hour, so it is impossible for him not to wear a vest."

"That's right, Yu Er took off this vest and used it as a disguise. Is there any problem?"

"That's not right! Mr. Shimazaki said before that his vest was stolen from the room." Okino Yoko said.

"That's right, it's impossible for Anzai Morio to take off his vest on purpose before meeting someone. He has no reason to do so, so he must have been wearing a vest when he was stabbed by Ms. Mamegaki. With that amount of bleeding, the vest must be full." It's bloodstains. But look, is there bloodstains on that vest at the scene?" Kaneda said proudly, "That means that there are actually two sets of vests, one is covered with blood, and the other is covered with blood. The top is clean."

"So what, Yuji will definitely not be walking around wearing a blood-stained vest!"

"The question is not which vest Mr. Shimazaki chose, but which one is here now." Conan said: "The vest without blood is here to prove his choice. But the vest with blood is here to stay It's normal. A vest without blood will reveal that you are pretending to be Anxi. There is only one explanation for this unreasonable behavior, and the blood-stained vest cannot be left at the scene..."

"Because there is evidence of your murder on it!" Kindaichiji concluded excitedly.
