Conan's Organization Three

"The real murderer is,"

Conan and Hattori Heiji were suddenly startled and quickly turned their heads.

"Hum, that's right."

After attracting everyone's attention, Mouri Kogoro hummed, and immediately stretched out his index finger, pointed at the figure in front of him, and said seriously,

"The murderer is you, astrologer Mrs. Toda"

"What did you say?"

Mrs. Toda was immediately startled, with a frightened look on her face.

"You must have used hypnosis to make the hotel owner drive, right?"

Seeing Mouri Kogoro questioning Mrs. Toda with a righteous expression, Conan and Hattori Heiji couldn't help but once again have a clear understanding of Moori Kogoro's unlimited reasoning.

Idiot, Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes speechlessly. Mouri Kogoro secretly glanced at Baidi with a calm smile next to him. It seemed that Baidi would not take action. In this case, he had to let him speak out. Otherwise

, Hattori Heiji looked speechless and continued to talk nonsense. Mouri Kogoro, I still don’t know where Moori Kogoro will take the topic?

"This is too outrageous. I am a fortune teller, not a magician who can perform magic tricks."

"Ahem!"

Hattori Heiji coughed heavily, and after attracting everyone's attention, he immediately said seriously,

"Uncle, the game should be over, right?"

"Eh?"

Moori Kogoro couldn't help but look at Hattori Heiji in confusion. As for Conan, he immediately realized it after hearing Hattori Heiji's words. I'm afraid Hattori Heiji, like him, also solved this mystery.

"In fact, I have known the true identity of the murderer for a long time, but I didn’t say it because there was no evidence, right, Bai Di?"

At the end, Hattori Heiji suddenly turned his attention to Baidi. In fact, he was most suspicious of Baidi. After all, it was Baidi who was guiding them from the beginning to now. If Baidi doesn't know the evidence, it is simply impossible. explain

"Al? Hattori, you actually know the true identity of the murderer. In that case, don't keep it secret and tell it quickly."

After Baidi was slightly surprised, he immediately said to Hattori Heiji, which almost made Hattori Heiji spit out a mouthful of old blood.

This guy Baidi dared to slap me on the back of his own skin.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but glared at Baidi hatefully, and then In the anxious eyes of everyone, he slowly glanced at everyone present, finally stopped at someone in the middle, and said in a deep voice,

"The initiator of these three incidents in this hotel is you, Mr. Kento Toba!"

"Eh?"

"Please wait a moment," Kento Toba said with a panicked look on his face and waved his hands vigorously.

"Didn't I stay in the living room a few hours before the innkeeper started driving? And when Ayako was burned to death in the garage, everyone was together."

Even Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but say,

"I mean, don't look down on people, why do you suddenly mention him as a murderer? And when the innkeeper started the car, you stayed in the living room with Mr. Toba.

Tell me, how could he start the car?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but roll his eyes at Mouri Kogoro, but he still didn't argue with him, and explained confidently,

"Yes, it does seem impossible. But if you use the stiffness after death and some functions of the car, it would be possible."

"Rigor mortis?"

Everyone was extremely confused.

Hattori Heiji continued,"Mr. Toba's trick is actually like this. Let the innkeeper, who died exactly one day ago, sit in the driver's seat and fix him with his foot on the brake.

After a long time, the body became stiff. Even though the engine was running and the gear was switched to forward gear, the car still wouldn't move because the brakes were on.

Then open the garage before dinner last night, and you can wait here for the body to soften, your foot on the brake to release, and the car to start naturally."

"You are such a big idiot," Mouri Kogoro suddenly couldn't help but opened his mouth, loudly laughed at Hattori Heiji, and said,

"It takes more than forty hours for the rigor mortis of a dead person to begin to soften. And don’t forget, this is what you said just now—"

"What if the temperature outside is higher?"

Hattori Heiji directly interrupted Mouri Kogoro's words, which made Mouri Kogoro slightly stunned.

"What?"

Bai Di on the side couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Seeing that Mouri Kogoro hadn't reacted yet, he couldn't help but remind him,

"There is a heater in the car, Uncle Maori"

"That's right," Hattori Heiji nodded and continued to explain to Mouri Kogoro,

"As long as you use the heater inside the car, you can easily raise the temperature inside the car to more than 35 degrees. In this case, the rate of rigor mortis and softening will be accelerated. It only takes 24 to 30 hours. Starting to soften."

Hearing these words, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but began to think deeply.

"The hotel owner disappeared after ten o'clock the night before yesterday. Now let's assume that he was killed immediately at that time, and the car was started at about 3:30 this morning, about twenty-nine hours later. The time is very consistent. Yet?"

Abdomen continued, making Mouri Kogoro's eyes widen.

"At that time, there was a sound like wind coming from inside the car. It was not air-conditioning, but heating. Because if it is air-conditioned, there should be water dripping next to the front wheel."

"So at that time, only Baidi and Hattori and you three would look at the wheel marks."

Xiaolan couldn't help but think of the scene at that time, and said clearly

"That's right," Hattori Heiji nodded seriously,"Sure enough, there are no traces of water dripping anywhere."

"However, that kind of trick can be easily understood by just doing an autopsy."Mouri Kogoro also reacted immediately,"So the murderer needed to let the boss's body fall off the cliff together with the car?"

"That's right," Hattori Heiji nodded and continued,"As long as the body disappears, the rigor mortis cannot be investigated."

"So, why did the car accelerate suddenly at that time?"

Mrs. Toda couldn't help but ask.

"That might have been caused by the bumpy road surface and the corpse's foot slipping off the brake pedal. In addition, regarding the blanket covering the dashboard, that was done so that people approaching the car could not see that the heating light inside the car was on."

"So that's it, then the murderer only needs to be in the house with someone to witness the car starting by itself, and that's fine, right?"Kawazu Ikuo reasoned

"That's right, that's why Mr. Toba forced Miss Ayako, who wanted to go back to the room to rest with Xiaolan, to stay in the living room, because only in this way would he have a perfect alibi."

Hattori Heiji looked at Toba Kento calmly and said coldly

"Hahaha," Toba Kento, who had been silent since just now, suddenly laughed loudly, then looked at Hattori Heiji and said,

"It’s interesting, your reasoning is as interesting as reading a novel, but unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove it, and when the garage caught fire, I was in the house with everyone. Have you forgotten?"

"No, of course I haven't forgotten it," Hattori Heiji said with a confident smile. Suddenly his tone changed and he looked at Toba Kennin with interest and said,

"It should be said, have you forgotten what Bai Emperor said just now?"

Kento Toba turned his head and looked at Bai Emperor, and his expression suddenly changed.

"That's right," Hattori Heiji continued,"White Emperor has already explained it just now, so let me go over it again now.

As a murderer, after hearing Miss Ayako say that you knew the true identity of the murderer, you immediately followed Miss Ayako out. However, when you came back and we went to look for Miss Ayako, her tone suddenly changed.

I'm afraid, in front of the toilet, you only told Miss Ayako one sentence, and that was, 'The first edition of Sherlock Holmes is hidden under the back seat of the car in the garage.'

That's why Ms. Ayako suddenly changed her tone in front of us and immediately went out for a walk alone.

In fact, she was not taking a walk, but was looking for the first edition in the car. However, because the battery was out of power, the car was dark. In order to find the book, Miss Ayako naturally took out a lighter and wanted to illuminate it.

However, because of this, Miss Ayako ignited the gasoline leaking from the car, causing an explosion in the garage."

Hearing Hattori Heiji's series of reasoning, Toba Kento couldn't help but have a lot of sweat on his head.

"So, she was the one who started the fire, but didn’t you just say that Miss Ayako was the witness of his alibi for the first incident? Why did he kill Miss Ayako."

Bai Di on the side couldn't help but sigh when he heard these words, and then said softly,

"Because he doesn't need it anymore"

"unnecessary?"Everyone was puzzled.

"Because in addition to Miss Ayako, there are three witnesses: me, Conan and Hattori. Even if Miss Ayako dies, his alibi will still exist."

"That's right," Hattori Heiji nodded slightly to Baidi, then turned to look at Toba Kennin and said,

"However, in fact, the person you wanted to kill was not Miss Ayako, but Mr. Fujisawa, right?"

"What's going on?"Mouri Kogoro asked curiously

"Uncle, have you forgotten that Mr. Fujisawa received a card last night about where the first version is?"

Hearing these words, Mr. Fujisawa couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat subconsciously.

"Yes, that letter was actually written by Mr. Toba, but he didn't expect Miss Ayako to discover his secret, so he decided to use a trap in the garage to burn Miss Ayako first.

Then Mr. Toba had another idea and came up with the trick of using a plug to cause a power outage and attack Mr. Fujisawa with an ice pick in the dark."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but nodded in understanding,

"It turns out that was the case, so only during the third attack, evidence of the crime was left behind."

"If that trick had been carried out by Mr. Toba who was in the kitchen at the time, it would have been easy. In other words, after connecting the three times together, the only person most likely to commit the crime is you, Mr. Toba—"
