Conan: Naruto

"too easy."

Kudo Shinichi told it lightly:

"The prisoner hid in the boat as usual, started the boat forward with his feet, made the boat return to the dock and parked on its own, waiting there silently.

A few minutes before 07:30 tonight, because Ryusuitei transported sake via a large boat, the prisoner naturally followed the large boat back to the guest room.

It's a pity...he lacked a little luck. "

"luck......?"

Officer Megure dropped his hands to his sides and looked at Mouri Kogoro with a confused expression.

"I noticed something about him."

Kudo Shinichi said nonchalantly and firmly:

“When the large ship carrying only four bottles of sake passed by outside the window of our guest room, the ship sank far below the water level.

Obviously, the prisoner must have been hiding on the deck of the ship. "

Hearing this, Dongfang Haoyue was slightly startled, and muttered slightly embarrassed in the spiritual world:

"How come I didn't see that big ship sinking too far below the water...

Okay, my powers of observation are still far from Shinichi's.

In this case, I will work harder to observe the details of the case in the future! "

Dongfang Haoyue thought about it, made a fist with her right hand and waved it in front of her right chest, cheering very seriously.

"Could it be that......"

Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro in bewilderment and confirmed in disbelief:

"The person who stayed in room three at that time was..."

"Correct."

Kudo Shinichi responded with a long and charming voice, and said sharply:

"The culprit is you!!

Professor Iwama! "

Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Haoyue cooperated to control Maori Kogoro to straighten up, suddenly opened his eyes, and pointed at Professor Iwama, whose pupils suddenly shrank, and stared at Iwama like an eagle.

"It's him?!"

Everyone looked at the slightly panicked Professor Iwama in great surprise.

Arai Ryuichi came to his senses for a moment and called out in disbelief:

"Teach, professor..."

"Professor Iwama, you told Mr. Kaneda in advance...that you would discuss certain things with him in Room [-]."

Dongfang Haoyue put down his right hand and reasoned calmly:

"Then you reserved room No. [-] in the name of Jintian. In this way, the police's suspicion of you after the incident was naturally reduced a lot.

In addition, before the food was delivered to guest room No. [-], you deliberately asked Mr. Arai to buy cigarettes that Ryusui-tei does not sell.

As long as Arai goes to a convenience store far away to buy cigarettes, you will have enough time to commit the crime. "

"No, no!"

Professor Iwama rushed to the left front of Officer Megure, covered his chest with his right hand, leaned forward slightly, looked at Mouri Kogoro with great urgency, and defended sincerely:

"I was staying in guest room No. [-] during the time of the crime. Didn't you testify for me before?"

Professor Iwama paused for half a second and emphasized with reason:

"In this case, I don't have time to commit the crime at all!"

"You should have a tape recorder on you."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Professor Iwajian calmly.

"Then, what's the matter?"

Professor Iwama straightened up and explained rationally:

"In order to record the content of academic meetings, I usually carry a small tape recorder with me. Could it be that...do you suspect that I used the tape recorder to forge an alibi!?

Even if that's the case, Detective Mori, please explain...why can I close the window when I'm not in the house? ! "

Professor Iwama became more and more excited as he spoke, and looked at Mouri Kogoro with quite an indignation.

"Hahaha."

Dongfang Haoyue, who didn't know how Professor Iwama closed the window, laughed three times, closed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and let his face return to the embrace of shadow.

Kudo Shinichi revealed in a timely and steady manner:

"All you need to do is use a long rubber band, a pin, a paper bag with chopsticks, and ice cubes to close the window regularly."

"what?!"

Professor Iwama's pupils shrank suddenly, two drops of cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he looked at Mouri Kogoro in extreme horror.

Kudo Shinichi calmly said:

“First open half of the window, embed parallel pins in the left window rail and left window frame, and insert the two ends of the ring rubber band into the two pins.

Then put a paper bag rolled into a circle on the right window edge, and pin the right side of the circle of the paper bag to the right window rail with the help of a pin.

Next, push the half-open window to the left side of the paper bag circle, and use pins to pin the left side of the paper bag circle to the border of the left window.

Finally, take the ice cubes that come with the dish and put them into the space in the middle of the circle in the paper bag. "

Kudo Shinichi paused for two seconds and asserted firmly:

“The melting of the ice cubes is bound to erode the paper bag, making it unable to withstand the force of the elastic band and causing it to snap.

The window naturally bounced back to its original position under the pressure of the rubber band, as if someone had closed the window in the house. "

"I see."

Officer Megure leaned forward slightly and looked at Mouri Kogoro in surprise.

Kudo Shinichi analyzed calmly:

"After committing the crime, Professor Iwama returned to his room by boat and immediately put away the rubber bands and pins, erased the record on the tape recorder, and threw the remaining chopsticks and paper bag into the pool water.

By the time the paper bag dissolved in the water, the evidence was gone. "

"So, you still have no evidence!"

Professor Iwama leaned forward slightly, staring at Mouri Kogoro with a gloomy expression. He spread his hands on both sides of his waist, palms facing up, and retorted angrily:

"If you insist that I brutally killed Kaneda, please provide evidence!!"

Professor Iwama's hands trembled sharply up and down, and he stared at Mouri Kogoro with increasing excitement.

"Mr. Arai."

Kudo Shinichi confirmed calmly:

"Did you spill the puffer fish caviar when you took the food from the boat?"

"Uh, yes."

Arai Ryuichi was slightly startled, looked at Mouri Kogoro sincerely, and said seriously:

"I accidentally spilled the caviar and it got a little bit on the deck of the ship."

"Professor Iwama."

Kudo Shinichi questioned sternly one after another:

"When you heard Miss Anxi's scream and ran out of the room No. [-], why did you put on the suit in a hurry?

In that situation, normal people would investigate the situation and stabilize their mood. Why are you different?

Maybe, I want to..."

Kudo Shinichi pondered for two seconds, and then said sharply:

"Did you accidentally stain your shirt with caviar when you hid on the deck of the ship?"
