Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 34 So I Have Such a Bad Taste
Even though he just found out the truth of the incident, Kindaichiji still had to put on the appearance of an expert who had seen through everything long ago.

"Everyone should know the principle of the pendulum." Kazuto Kaneda played with the magic mirror in his hand, but this time he was no longer confused, and he was confident.

"Of course I know, but what does this have to do with the agency you mentioned."

"Of course it has something to do with it, because the mechanism here is based on the principle of the pendulum!"

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

"Everyone, please look." Kazuto Jintian pointed to a scene in the camera: "Is there something wrong with these two windows?"

The window mentioned by Jin Tianyi and Er refers to the one next to the window where the bandage monster flashed by and the one next to it.

"This... the bandage man flashed through this window, and when he appeared in the next window, his height became significantly higher, and he disappeared in the next window!" Everyone found doubts: "Could it be that the bandage man fly?!"

"Of course Bandage Man himself couldn't fly, but if he had been a marionette at the time, he could have!"

"dummy?!"

"That's right! I think the bandaged man we saw was actually a dummy, and it should be the kind of dummy that is light in weight and can be folded and inflated. The murderer put the bandaged man's costume on the dummy, Then fix Miss Ikeda's body to it, and finally use strong fishing line or piano wire to tie a knot on the shackle on the dummy's head, and then the murderer passes the rope through the protruding hole on the side of the balcony. That part of the railing, and then fix the two ends of the rope to the balcony railing directly above the window. When ready, the murderer first deliberately created a terrifying atmosphere, and then drew everyone's attention to the window. At this time, he only had to cut The rope on the railing, the dummy will fly down from the balcony on the second floor with Miss Ikeda’s body to be seen by us. At the same time, because of the pendulum principle, the dummy will fly to the height of the second floor again and be recovered by the murderer. At this time Everyone gathered by the window, and no one would have noticed what the murderer on the second floor was doing at that time. Isn't that right, Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi!"

Kindaichi raised the magic mirror and pointed it at Ryoichi Takahashi.

"You are the murderer in this case, you are the one who killed Tomokako Ikeda, Ryoichi Takahashi!"

"What!" Everyone showed surprise, and subconsciously moved away from Ryoichi Takahashi in an instant, leaving him alone with an embarrassed smile.

"You... What are you kidding, how could the murderer be me?"

"The traces of grooves worn by these ropes on the balcony railing are the evidence. You were the only one on the balcony on the second floor at that time, and the only person who could make such a mechanism was you, the one in charge of making film and television props in the university club. people!"

"But according to what you said, I dragged Zhijiazi's body to the second floor, so why did we find Zhijiazi's body in the woods? I obviously went with you, and I was empty-handed at the time, right?" Takahashi Ryoichi refuted Kindaichiji's point of view, and wanted to pull his friends around him to testify to him.

Kakutani Hiroki and Ota Katsuki were a little skeptical at this moment, but they still nodded.

Faced with other people's doubts, Kindaichiji took his time this time, and he who already knew the answer would not be affected at all.

"Do you still remember... Ms. Ikeda's collar? Why did it fall at the entrance of the main entrance?" Kaneda looked around at everyone: "Because Ms. Ikeda did pass through the main entrance, but in the form of a corpse! "

"What evidence do you have!" Ryoichi Takahashi shouted.

"Isn't the evidence in Mr. Kakutani's camera? It clearly captured it. Ms. Ikeda's body, which was fixed with the dummy, is still wearing this collar!"

Everyone watched the video again, and it was true.

"This proves that when everyone was out chasing the Bandage Monster, someone carried the corpse through the main entrance!"

Everyone moved away from Takahashi Ryoichi again, and even retreated to Kindaichiji's side.

"Hmph! What you said is just a possibility, but I didn't hold anything in my hands at the time, but everyone can see the fact. Besides, the corpse is so big and heavy. How can I not be found when I move it alone? ?”

"It is very difficult to move the whole body, but what if there is only one head?"

"what!"

"Think about it carefully, why did the murderer have to dismember Miss Ikeda's body? He is obviously being chased by so many people, and if he kills someone, he still has to run away quickly, and he can still dismember the body in a leisurely way... And you guys Don't you think it's strange, if the murderer was someone who was killed in the woods, why didn't Ms. Ikeda call for help?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ryoichi Takahashi was anxious: "Didn't I say it many times! I didn't take anything with my hands empty! Besides, I was also a victim, and the bandaged man attacked me at that time." ah!"

Facing Ryoichi Takahashi who was a little out of breath, Kazuto Kinda gave a faint smile.

"Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi, do you know that you are showing your feet, [man in bandages]...why do you say that?"

"What's the problem?" Takahashi Ryoichi was puzzled.

"From the very beginning, few of us have really seen the appearance of the bandage-wearing weirdo. At most, we just glanced at it from afar or caught a glimpse of it. Even I, who had confronted him, only felt that his skills were nimble. You can’t even tell his gender, why do you think he’s a man?”

"What is this, isn't everyone saying that?"

"You are wrong. Although everyone has different names for this murderer, some are [Bandage Freak], some are [Bandage-Wrapped Freak], some are [Bandage Man], and some are even just weird people. There is no one at all. Call the murderer [the man in the bandage], except you!"

"This is just casually. Besides, I also saw him when he was attacked. At that time, he felt like a man, right? This is not evidence at all!"

"It doesn't count, it doesn't matter. By the way, you just said that you were also attacked by the bandage monster. Didn't you see the appearance of the bandage monster at that time?"

"He just smashed the glass through the window to get in, and then he was gone, and he was so well dressed, I didn't notice anything..."

"You didn't notice, but you just said that you thought that person looked like a man... It doesn't matter, you didn't notice, but I noticed before, this person is not tall, has a strong figure, is agile and fast , like a leopard..." At this point, Kindaichiji stopped talking, as if he was waiting for something.

The scene suddenly became silent, only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the woods.

Takahashi Ryoichi bit his lip tightly, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you refute me! Don't you think there is something wrong with my words?" Jin Tianyi gradually approached Takahashi Ryoichi, and the light reflected from the magic mirror shone on Takahashi Ryoichi's face. His big, sweaty face was full of horror, despair and unwillingness.

Looking at the real murderer in front of him in a desperate situation, struggling desperately but unable to recover, suffering and desperate, Kindaichiji felt a burst of joy in his heart.

This feeling reminded Kindaichiji of the cat-playing-mouse scene he had seen in his previous life.

So I actually have such a bad taste!
