May 2, morning, McLavert Villa.

Listening to Ikuo Kawazu's words, Heiji Hattori and Conan thought to themselves at the same time, by the way, could it be that the murderer used that method? So the murderer must be him, but there is no evidence yet, wait a minute, I remember that Lan said that Miss Ayako used to wander in the corridor during the day, if she saw something in that person's room at that time, yes, it must be so, I see, I see.

Seeing Hattori's enlightened expression, Sonoko said to Yamazaki, "Hey, hey, you won't lose to him, right? ”

Mei Daiko cheated on the exam, was she brought it?Yamazaki smiled in his heart, and then whispered in the garden's ear.

"Ah, I know who the murderer is," Maori suddenly smirked, "the real murderer is you." Pointing to the soothsayer, "Soothsayer, Miss Maria Toda." ”

"Me?" said the soothsayer, taken aback, "what are you talking about?"

"It must be you," Mori said to the soothsayer, "you must have used hypnosis to get the organizer to drive herself to the bottom of the cliff, and then you used hypnosis to have Miss Ayako go to the garage to pour gasoline and light a fire, and now you have Mr. Fujisawa stabbing himself, but Mr. Fujisawa woke up again because of the pain." I'm right, Fortune Teller Toda. ”

Ikuo Kawazu said, "It seems to make sense. ”

Nanako Shimizu said: "You have this kind of plot in the movie. ”

The soothsayer shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a soothsayer, not a magician." ”

"It's all one nature. Maori said.

"Dad. Lan shouted helplessly.

On the other side, listening to Mori identify the soothsayer Toda as the murderer, Heiji Hattori and Conan were speechless.

Conan straightened his triangular eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, just after six o'clock, Mei Daiko slept until at least ten o'clock, Yamazaki, the guy who watched the show, couldn't count on it, it seemed that he was going to use an anesthetic needle to make his uncle sleep, but the guy next to him who was in the way sighed, forget it, let this opportunity be given to this guy. Then he said to Hattori Heiji, "Hey, if the temperature rises, what will happen to the stiffness, will it stiffen faster?" At the same time, I thought to myself, I should understand this way.

Hattori Heiji smiled: "What are you talking about, let's be clear, I'm stupid, and you don't understand what you say without a beginning or an end." Then he raised his chin at Yamazaki and said, "Why don't you go find him?" ”

Damn, it seems that this guy knows the truth, but he deliberately doesn't say it, Conan thought to himself, he doesn't want to see me reason, right? Then he said, "I'm going to the bathroom." So saying, he ran outside.

Hattori Heiji said, "Then I'll go with you." Saying that, he hurriedly followed, but when he went out, he felt a numb neck before he saw Conan, and then lost consciousness.

So that no one would bother, Conan smiled and pushed the down-down Hattori Heiji, adjusting his posture so that he leaned against the threshold. Then hearing Ran's shout, Conan hid behind Hattori Heiji and said in Hattori Heiji's voice, "That's the end of the joke, uncle, I now know who the murderer is." Then he said, "There is no need to hide it, the real murderer who caused three incidents in a row," he said, raising Hattori Heiji's arm, "It's you." ”

Seeing that his arm was pointing at him, Maori was taken aback, "Huh?

"It's not you. Conan said helplessly in Hattori Heiji's voice, and continued, "I'm talking about Mr. Toba who is in a cold sweat behind the uncle, and the murderer is you." ”

"Please, please wait a minute, don't talk nonsense," said Kento Toba, "I stayed in the living room for hours before the organizer's car started, didn't I? and I was with everyone when the fire broke out." ”

"That's it. Mori planted a mushroom on Hattori's head, "You idiot." ”

Won't wake him up, will Conan?

"Dad. Lan shouted helplessly.

"What are you doing, that Kansai dialect has suddenly become so weird. Mori said casually, and then asked, "You kid, weren't you in the living room when the organizer's car started?"

Conan said in Hattori's voice: "Yes, it seems impossible on the surface, but as long as he stiffens and the car has some function after his death, it becomes possible and capable." "At the same time, I thought to myself, why is this Kansai dialect so tongue-twisting?" Mr. Toba's method is like this, he killed the organizer one day before now, stuffed the organizer's body into the car, fixed his feet in the state of pressing the brakes, after half a day the body began to stiffen, and then went to start the engine to set the automatic transmission, at this time, because the organizer's foot was still on the brakes, so although the car started, it was still in a stopped state. Then he went to open the garage before dinner yesterday, and then he just sat in the living room and waited. When the organizer's body began to soften and the force of the brakes slowly decreased, the car that had already started naturally drove out slowly, and the other person was in the living room, which created an alibi. ”

"Nonsense," laughed Maori, "it takes forty hours after death for a person to begin to soften, as you said earlier." ”

"What if the outside world is hot?" Conan said in Hattori's voice, "If the temperature around the body is high, the stiffening and softening of the body will be accelerated, so that it won't take forty hours." At thirty-five degrees, it only takes twenty-four to thirty hours for the stiff body to begin to soften. Conan said that the last time we saw the organizer was around 8 p.m. on April 30, and if he had been killed immediately after that, until about 2:30 a.m. today, May 2, we saw the car start for exactly 30 hours. The sound I heard was indeed the sound of the air conditioner in the car, but the air conditioner was not turned on, but the heating, and the towel that was covered on the car's control panel was just for fear that when someone approached the car, they would see that the air conditioner was heating on the control panel. In this way, the situation coincides. ”

Ikuo Kawazu said, "That's why you went to check the tire marks yesterday. ”

"Yes, if you are air-conditioned, there should be water dripping near the front wheels. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "As I expected, there was no water on the ground. ”

"But with this technique, as soon as the body is examined, it will be known immediately. "That's right, that's why the organizer was designed to fall off the cliff with the car, and since there is no way to find the body, there is no way to test the stiffness of the body." ”

The soothsayer Toda asked, "Then why did the car start to accelerate halfway through?"

Conan said in Hattori's voice, "I guess it was probably because the car was driving on an uneven road and the organizer's foot completely slipped off the brake plate." ”

Ikuo Kawazu said, "I see, just use this method to make the car start automatically, and then let everyone see the scene from the house." ”

The soothsayer Toda said, "Then the murderer has a perfect alibi." ”

Ran asked, "So, the reason why Mr. Toba kept Miss Ayako in the living room at that time was to let Miss Ayako see the whole process with him and become his own witness?"

"Yes, exactly. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "And the only one who can keep Miss Ayako is Mr. Toba, who came with Miss Ayako." ”

"Listening to your reasoning is like reading a novel. Kento Toba asked, "Since you believe that I am the murderer, then from the murderer's point of view, I ask you, you were also present at the time, and the assistant lady was also present, why did I keep Ayako?"

"Yes," said Maori, "it's simply redundant." ”

Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Because Miss Ayako wants to call you back with you, and if you don't leave, it will look unnatural." And if you go, there will be no alibi. ”

"That makes sense," Maori said. ”

Kento Toba said, "So, may I ask, is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Of course there is evidence, but wait a minute. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Let's talk about the second incident." The problem with the second incident was that everyone was in the house at the time and the garage was on fire. This fire was actually lit by Miss Ayako herself. ”

"What?" said Maori, "no kidding, it's suicide." ”

"Because that's all it takes to say to her, 'That first printed first edition of Holmes' novel is now under the back seat of that car in the garage.'" Conan said in Hattori's voice.

"The first novel?" said Toshiaki Fujisawa in surprise, "By the way, this was supposed to be about me." ”

"Yes, the car parked in the garage at that time, not only has all the gasoline leaked, but even the battery on the car has been removed, the interior lights in the car can't be turned on, and it is pitch black under the back seat of the car, in this case, you want to find something under the back seat," Conan asked in Hattori's voice, "Uncle, what will you do?"

"Well, because I can't see anything in the car, I can only use a lighter or something," Mori said, "yes, it's a lighter, and Miss Ayako used the lighter she brought with her to find the book, and she didn't want to light the lighter, and the flame of the lighter immediately ignited the gasoline leaking from the car." ”

Ran asked, "But Miss Ayako, isn't she Mr. Toba's girlfriend, and why did he kill her?"

"Because Miss Ayako has seen through Mr. Toba's murderous methods by changing the stiff time to hide people's eyes, and she also has evidence that can confirm that Mr. Toba is the real murderer. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Everyone should remember that at that time, Miss Ayako suddenly said that she knew who the murderer was, and Mr. Toba went out after her under the pretext of protecting Miss Ayako, and then Miss Ayako's attitude changed completely. During this time, the only person who was alone with Miss Ayako was Mr. Toba, and it must have been Mr. Toba who told Miss Ayako about the first version of the novel, and on this condition that Miss Ayako not expose him. Then he used the trap that was originally used to deal with Mr. Fujisawa and used it on Miss Ayako. Mr. Toba's luck was that Miss Ayako, like Mr. Fujizawa, carried a lighter with her. ”

Toshiaki Fujisawa said, "So, in order to kill me, he planned a third incident. ”

Conan said in Hattori's voice, "That's why there is such obvious evidence." ”

"What a joke," Kento Toba asked, "Tell me, what kind of evidence?"

"Of course, it's the evidence that the murderer is in the villa. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "The plug was made by the man in the kitchen, and there were no fewer people in the villa later, so it means that the murderer is still in the villa." Trying to get his hands on that plug was very easy for Mr. Toba, who went to the kitchen at the time. So if these three murders are connected, the only one who is likely to commit the crime is Mr. Toba. ”

"According to what you say, Mr. Kawatsu can also be the murderer of serial killings, so many people do not have an alibi, how different is this from having an alibi. "And in terms of a single event, the first event, the second event, anyone in this can be possible. ”

"Not bad. Maori asked, "Boy, since you're so sure, you must have plenty of evidence in your hands, right?"

"Don't you know?" Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Yesterday during the day, Miss Ayako had seen that thing in your room. ”

Mori said, "Hey, no matter what Miss Ayako sees, there's no way to tell anyone." ”

Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Please answer, question one, what is Sherlock Holmes best at." The second question is what is the name of Dr. Watson's wife? ”

Kento Toba asked rhetorically, "What, what are you suddenly asking?"

"Have you forgotten all of them, you should have done it too, Sherlock Holmes asked. Conan asked in Hattori's voice, "Now it's question 241, what is the content of Holmes' letter to the murderer with the code of 'dancing puppet'?"

Kento Toba smiled, "Of course I remember this question, and the answer is 'come over immediately'." ”

Nanako Shimizu said, "There is no such problem on the roll. ”

The soothsayer Toda said, "The question about the 'dancing dolls' should be the ......"

Toshiaki Fujisawa said, "I think the code 'dancing puppet' that appeared in the novel is ......"

Ikuo Kawazu said, "Write it all. ”

"That's right. It's a huge problem that you can't forget even if you want to," Conan asked in Hattori's voice, "Isn't it a little strange that you can't even remember this?"

"That's, that's ......" Kento Toba sweated.

"The reason why Miss Ayako came to your room yesterday was to confirm with you the answers on the test paper. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "But you weren't in the room at the time, and I think you went to the garage to check on the host's stiffness." ”

Mori asked, "So, what is Miss Ayako's view?"

"That's right, it's Mr. Toba's blank answer sheet that didn't write a word. Why didn't he answer? That's because even if he did, it wouldn't be useful, which meant that Mr. Toba already knew that the organizer in charge of grading the test questions was no longer alive at that time. Conan said in Hattori's voice, "Mr. Toba, if you think my words are speculation, then please take out your answer sheet for everyone to see, and you can take it out now." ”

"This, this ......" Kento Toba was speechless.

"Ahem, who said you have to go to the questions and do the questions? It's not an important thing that is prescribed by law. Sonoko came over and smiled, "Now it's time for Sonoko Suzuki, the queen of reasoning, to appear." ”

"Garden, garden!" Lan was taken aback.

Yamazaki, Conan puffed up his triangular eyes. ……
