[Conan] Scenery and Light and Wine

Chapter 23 Expose the real culprit

Ke Ya clicked on the antique clock that was supposed to be the center of the banquet. It matched the Western-style vanity carvings. It had gorgeously shaped hands. The three hands for hours, minutes and seconds were made into the shapes of daggers, daggers and spears. .

"The murder weapon is the second hand."

Keya removed the decorative coloring pages on the dial of the clock, and turned her body sideways to show the gear structure inside the clock to those around her.

Officer Mumu took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw some blood stains on the red copper pointer, which was similar in color to rust.He called the certificate inspector, removed the pointer from the gear and sent it for a blood test.

"How do you know?"

Police officer Mu Mu asked Ke Ya for details with a notebook.

Keya looked down at Edogawa Conan who was hiding behind her legs, and Conan blinked his big eyes and looked over, also looking curious.

For the sake of the cute blue eyes of the detective kid, Ke Ya endured her impatience and gave a detailed explanation.

"After the clock was recovered, there was a problem with inaccurate timing. The reason was that the center hole of the second hand was a little loose due to excessive wear. I suggested that Yuichi Nojima find someone to remake a hand of the same style as a replacement.

But he requires every part of the clock to be original.So I had to adjust the order of the pointer gears, and put the receiving gear of the second hand in the innermost. "

Normal clock placement hands should be placed in sequence from the inside to the outside in the order of hours-minutes-seconds.

But this clock that has been debugged and repaired by Keya can only keep time normally if the hands are installed in the order of seconds-hour-minutes.

"Yuichi Nojima agreed to my repair plan, and said he wanted to install the important pointer by himself. The conversation happened in my shop, so no one else knew."

Keya tapped the central axis of the clock with her nails, and now the second hand has been removed, and people around can easily find that the order in which the hands of the clock are installed is different from what Keya said.The second hand that was taken off was installed on the outermost.

"From this, I judge that the person who installed the hands of the clock is not Yuichi Nojima himself."

The antique desk clock should have been pushed out by the staff during the lights-out session, and the case happened after that.

Since the pointer was not installed by Nojima Yuichi, the person who was close to the clock and installed the pointer during this period is most likely the murderer.

"What does this mean!" Miki Keitaro gritted his teeth and tightened his face, and quickly and urgently retorted: "Even if the pointer is the murder weapon, it may be that other staff secretly put the pointer on it out of curiosity. As long as my fingerprints aren't found on it, it won't prove that I killed Nojima-san with that thing!"

"That's right." Ke Ya pushed down her glasses and nodded indifferently.

On the contrary, Edogawa Conan was a little anxious, poked his head out from behind Keya's legs, and loudly stated his discovery: "I found a towel in the bucket over there, and Mr. Miki should be using that towel as a cushion. Have you separated the blood from your own fingerprints?"

He pointed in the direction of the cleaning vehicle, with a naive expression, but he spoke in a logical manner: "When I passed by there, I smelled a strong smell of disinfectant. Generally, for this kind of banquet, the cleaning work will be done in advance and the sanitary tools will be put away. Put it in the cleaning room, right?

I asked Ms. Misaki, and she said that you asked the cleaner to leave the tools in the corner, and said that if there is an accident, you can clean it immediately. "

Misaki Nojima nodded with a pale face, confirming Conan's words.Conan showed an innocent smile, and questioned Miki Keitaro: "I think Mr. Miki, you should have taken advantage of the dark time when the lights were turned off, sneaked into the corner and threw that blood-stained towel into the bucket. Disinfection in the bucket The agent has strong oxidation, which will destroy the blood protein structure, even if the water inside is extracted for analysis, it is difficult to find evidence of blood tissue residue.”

Hearing Conan's testimony, Miki Keitaro calmed down instead. He even showed a smile, and asked Kaya and Conan: "Isn't there no evidence at all? What you said sounds reasonable, but what about the evidence?" , there is no evidence that I am the only murderer?

The pointer may have been touched by someone else. As for the arrangement of the cleaning car, many people in the banquet hall heard it, not only Ms. Misaki, but even Jiang Yuan was there. The towels in the bucket may have been thrown in by anyone. ? "

"Yes..." Conan pushed down his glasses, tugged on Keya's trouser legs, and motioned him to give the evidence that could kill with one blow.

Ke Ya cooperatively took out the paper document that Conan gave him before, and showed everyone one of the pages.

"This event planning book lists all aspects of the banquet, and the 5 minutes of turning off the lights are clearly marked with specific arrangements."

Ke Ya pointed to the text in one of the paragraphs, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Nojima personally installed the pointer and wound the clock." This is the banquet arrangement you submitted to Nojima Yuichi, right? ? "

"How...how could it be!" Miki Keitaro took two steps back subconsciously, and retorted in disbelief: "Mr. Nojima obviously has the habit of destroying documents after reading them! Where did you find such things!"

Finally admitted.

Ke Ya pursed her lips and lowered her eyes a little bored.The opportunity to explain the source of this evidence was given to Edogawa Conan, the greatest contributor to finding this document.

Conan blinked, and said in a childish voice: "Because Mr. Nojima seems to be very satisfied with this planning document, he marked it on it specially, and put this document in a drawer."

"Satisfied? How could he be satisfied with me!" Hearing Conan's words, Miki Keitaro looked ferociously, looked around the entire venue, and roared hysterically: "He was obviously in front of you people because of some trivial matters before the start scolded me!"

The existence of this document proves that Keitaro Miki knew that the hands of the clock should not appear on the dial, thus confirming that he concealed the situation of the hands of the clock after Yuichi Nojima's death.

Because it was he who killed Yuichi Nojima with the pointer placed outside, and tried to install the pointer back to cover up the fact that it was the murder weapon.

When the matter came to light, he no longer covered it up, but vented his hatred for Yuichi Nojima happily.

"It's just being scolded. I'm used to it. But he, this man killed my mother!"

Misaki Nojima, who was the daughter of the deceased, covered her mouth in shock, and eagerly explained: "I remember Keitaro, your mother died of a serious illness, right?"

Miki Keitaro cast a hateful look at Nojima Misaki, and said viciously: "Yes, my mother is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for surgery, that's why I have been enduring Nojima's insults to me. But Last month, my mother's condition worsened and she needed to arrange an operation immediately. I have no way to pay for the operation, so I can only borrow money from your father with a face."

Miki Keitaro rushed towards Nojima Misaki, and was pressed to the ground by the police officer Sato who was guarding the side. He still struggled to raise his head and shouted at Nojima Misaki: "He rejected me and told me not to take life, old age, illness and death too seriously! Then It's my mother! How could I not take her illness and death into consideration! It was he who killed my mother, and I will make him pay for it!"

"I think you misunderstood, Miki Keitaro." Keya Pingzhe's cold voice suddenly sounded, he walked up to Miki Keitaro and knelt down, took out an elegantly packaged box from his bag and opened it to him.

Inside is a pocket watch with a low-key luster.

"This is a pocket watch that Yuichi Nojima customized for me before." Keya opened the cover to show him the name engraved inside, and whispered: "He said that you are not used to wearing a watch, and you have a bad habit of being late for a minute or two , he hopes to give you this pocket watch so that you can keep track of the time in your future work."

Kaya put the gift box in front of Miki Keitaro, her tone was calm and cold, but full of convincing strength: "Maybe because I have nothing to do with Nojima Yuichi, he told me a lot of his own thoughts. In fact Your mother's medical expenses were all borne by Yuichi Nojima, and it seems that because your mother couldn't bear to tell you that she didn't have much time, the doctor and Yuichi Nojima hid it from you."

"Impossible...impossible..."

Miki Keitaro was struck into a trance by what Kaya said, he just murmured that it was impossible, refusing to believe the truth that was too absurd for him.

"I like watches because they tell me that time will never go backwards. I guess Yuichi Nojima wants to tell you this truth by giving you a pocket watch. That's all I can say."

Kaya stood up expressionlessly, patted Edogawa Conan's hair lightly, and made way for Officer Takagi who was about to escort the suspect to the police car.

Miki Keitaro seemed to have believed Kaya's words, he muttered incoherently some words that no one could understand, then burst into tears, and was staggered out of the banquet hall by the police.

There is no room for regret in your own life.

Kaya blinked, and looked away from Keitaro Miki.What he said just now was not to clear up the misunderstanding between the murderer and the deceased. He just wanted to see Keitaro Miki's expression after he learned of the misunderstanding, but he didn't expect it to be so disappointing.

Police officer Mu Mu came to inform Ke Ya to take notes, but Ke Ya frowned and took out her mobile phone to look at it, and asked if it was possible to change the time: "I am in a hurry to go home, and there are still people waiting for me."

He originally only planned to show his face, and leave as soon as the things were delivered.As a result, he was accidentally involved in the murder case and had been delayed for several hours.Zhu Fu Jingguang should have gone home, but Ke Ya didn't want him to wait any longer.

And... Boss just sent him an email. Gin needs his assistance in a mission and has already gone to his shop to find him.

trouble……

I sent an email back to Boss to explain my situation. As for Qin, let him wait.

Fortunately, there is no strict requirement on the recording time. Police officer Mu Mu said that he could wait until the Keya time was convenient, as long as it was as soon as possible.Ke Yali thanked him comprehensively and offered to leave.

"Shu...Brother Shu Lang?"

Edogawa Conan didn't know why he looked a little nervous. He stuttered and called Keya's name. Keya squatted down and looked at him with a very gentle attitude: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I just heard that you were leaving, and wanted to come over to say goodbye to you." Edogawa Conan shook his head, very well-behaved.

"Nice to meet you, Edogawa Conan, you are a child as smart as your name."

Ke Ya really likes this polite, sensible and exceptionally smart kid. He took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Edogawa Conan, smiling slightly: "It has the address of my shop on it. Parents can bring it to me if I have a chance. Come and play with you."

"Okay Brother Shu Lang, were you sending an email just now?"

Edogawa Conan took the business card Kaya gave him and put it in his pocket, hesitating for a moment, as if he couldn't hold back his curiosity, he asked a little awkwardly while holding his wrist.

"Yes, replied to a work email, so I was in a hurry to leave."

"Brother Shu Lang, go and get busy."

"Okay, goodbye, Edogawa Conan."

"Yeah, brother Shu Lang, goodbye."

Ke Ya drove back to her shop, where gin and vodka were waiting for a long time.

Gin was very annoyed by Keya's late behavior, and what made him even more angry was another news he heard from Belmode.

"Ke Ya, you are really courageous. You fooled Scotland's silence under my eyes back then, even if you got the approval of the boss. But now you dare to bring him back to Japan to let me know. Do you want to die?"

Ke Ya closed the door and looked back at Gin, and said without expression: "Since you know that Scotland is with me, you should know that he is mine. Where I go with my things is none of your business."

The author has something to say:

About this one-of-three case:

Me: Damn, I really want to skip all kinds of unnecessary three-choice cases and fast-forward directly to the red side defeating the black side Ke Ya and Jing Guang, you go and give me doi!

It's still me: It's Conan, how can I not write one of the three!Choose one of the three cases is the soul of Conan!

Although Kaya understands the rules of using Japanese, he has the habit of calling people by their first names, no matter who they are.

Except for Jing Guang, those who have enjoyed the treatment of his respectful or intimate titles are either dead or on the way to death.
