The 189th 36-grid Perfect Crime - Climax
Kogoro Mori squatted over and examined the body.
Nishino stared blankly at Wada over there, "Why? Why is Wada bleeding and lying there?"
"Hey, Wada. Kohei."
Mao Li looked at him, "Hey! Don't come any closer. This is a murder scene."
"Murder scene? Are you saying that Wada is dead?"
"No way."
"Hey, why can you guys touch him?"
"Besides, you guys are not the police. If irrelevant people mess around with the scene at will, won't there be any problems?"
Lingzi looked at the expressions of each of them, "What are you thinking about? This is a famous, feared, and famous detective who falls asleep as soon as he hears his name."
"Mouri Kogoro. People call him the Sleeping Kogoro."
"Why, why is Maori Kogoro here?"
"He said earlier that it was Hihara who committed suicide. He wrote a letter and asked him to come here to investigate."
Amuro Toru observed the scene and came over. "Yes, I think someone suspected that there was something else behind Mr. Hihara Yasuo's death, so he wrote this letter, hoping that Mr. Maori could decipher the code and find out the truth behind his suicide."
"However, judging from the current situation, that person seems to think that Mr. Hihara's death is related to you guys."
"how come?"
"In short, if you don't want any more deaths, you have to cooperate and let the professional detectives handle it."
"Forget it, Amuro, Miss Lingzi, their good friends have been killed, and they are panicking now."
"Let's all stay calm. Report this matter to the Nagano Prefecture Police and follow their instructions."
"makes sense."
Lingzi didn't say anything. She didn't know what the technique was, but it seemed like something would happen later?
Mao Li put his arm around Amuro Toru's shoulder and laughed, "Kacha, hahahaha."
Officer Yamato received the call, "What? You said someone was killed, so what are you doing?"
"I didn't kill him."
Officer Uehara looked at the phone in Officer Yamato's hand and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"According to the driver's license information on the victim, the victim's name is Wada Kohei, 28 years old."
"We found a crossbow in the toilet. It had been tampered with. As long as the door of the toilet tool room was opened, the arrow on the crossbow would be shot out. This arrow went straight through the victim's head."
Gao Ming was also listening to the phone call. "It's hard to make a judgment at the moment."
"But why would there be a crossbow like that in that place?"
"Of course it must be a trap set by the murderer who lured us here."
"Yes. Anyway, I have secured the crime scene. I will discuss the details with you when you arrive tomorrow."
"Then send me a video of the scene."
Officer Uehara received the video on his computer and said, "This is too tragic."
Gao Ming frowned as he looked at her, "The arrow hit him right between the eyebrows."
"This victim is so unlucky. So pitiful."
Gao Ming continued to watch the video. "No. Assuming the murderer knew in advance that the victim would open the door of the toilet tool room, he could adjust the position of the crossbow so that the arrow would hit the victim right between the eyebrows."
"But didn't Mr. Maori just say that who goes to which place will be decided by drawing lots on the spot?"
"That's why Gao Ming said it was a hypothetical murderer. He knew about it beforehand."
They returned to the fire, and Amuro Toru looked at the person standing in front of them, "I guess the man who called you all here and killed Mr. Wada wanted to avenge Mr. Hihara Yasuo who committed suicide in this place two months ago."
"No, it can't be."
"It turned out to be like this. It was just as I thought. It was Hetian. He was murdered."
"Don't make random guesses."
"Be careful what you say."
"sorry."
Same as he thought?
Mr. Nishino looked at him, "So, do you know who the murderer is?"
Mao Li shook his head, "Not yet. It is not clear whether the murderer is among you or hiding in a corner of the church. It is also unknown whether the murderer's revenge plan has ended here or has just begun."
Kawasaki looked at Maori, "You, are you saying that we might be the next target?"
Ms. Yu Hui was shocked. "If that's the case, I don't even dare to go to the toilet alone."
Amuro closed his eyes. "Given the situation, I have a suggestion. How about we team up and act?"
"Everyone chooses someone they trust, and works together in groups of two."
Mr. Fujiide happier, "I agree with this idea."
"But what should I do as a girl?"
Miss Yu Hui's eyes fell on Lingzi, and Amuro Toru blocked her view, "Lingzi is my girlfriend, she has to follow me."
Lingzi nodded, "I'm sorry. I feel more at ease with him around."
Kawasaki looked at Yuhui and said, "I think you two should form a team. You two have dated before anyway."
Nishino asked again, "I have a question. What if your teammate happens to be the murderer? What should you do?"
Amuro Toru looked at him and said, "Don't worry, the murderer hired a detective to come here. If he kills his teammates, then his identity will be completely exposed, right?"
Fujiide looked at Yu Yuhui, "In that case, I will be in a group with Yu Hui, okay?"
Kawasaki looked at Nishino and said, "I'll be in the same group with Nishino, is that ok?"
"Yeah, of course."
Maori Kogoro looked at Conan and said, "Then I will be in a group with the little devil."
"no problem."
Amuro Toru held Lingzi's hand and said, "We two need to go to the bathroom now and will be back soon."
"Please do not act on your own."
Lingzi followed Toru Amuro, and the two of them came to the bathroom. Toru Amuro prepared to cover Mr. Wada with a white cloth.
Lingzi stood with her back to him, "Tou."
"Ok?"
"Do you already know who the murderer is?"
"not yet."
"hold head high?"
"Who goes to which place is entirely determined by drawing lots. So at the moment, it seems that Mr. Wada was killed in this toilet by accident. The murderer may have set up other traps to lure them to the church, perhaps intending to kill them all here."
"Besides, no matter who it is, they can place this crossbow here in advance."
Lingzi smiled faintly, "Mr. Hetian is tall, and the crossbow arrow hit him right in the head."
"If it was the short Miss Yuhui or me, we would have escaped."
"What you said makes sense, but don't use yourself as an example!"
Amuro Toru stood up and tapped Lingzi's forehead, "Did you hear that?"
Lingzi covered his forehead and said, "I heard it. Why are you trying so hard?"
"To teach you a lesson."
Lingzi pouted, "Really."
Amuro Toru lowered his head again and thought, "But when I drew the lots, I didn't see any problem."
Lingzi shook his head, "No, there must be something wrong with the lottery process."
Amuro Toru blinked, "Well, I'll think about it again."
Lingzi tilted his head, "Although I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a coincidence that he was drawn here."
Amuro Toru nodded, "Then there is a problem with Mr. Nishino."
Lingzi blinked, "Well, that should be the case."
"Okay, let's go back."
Lingzi nodded, "It seems that we are missing some clues or key points."
"Okay, think about it slowly, you will figure it out."
······
"Yeah, we just heard the sound of glass breaking."
Amuro Toru looked at Conan, "So you just asked them to go check out the situation?"
"Yes, we also advised at the beginning."
Nishino ran over in a panic, "Who is it? Who sent a message to Kawasaki?"
"information?"
“I haven’t sent any message.”
"When Kawasaki saw the news, his face changed drastically and he ran towards the bathroom."
"Ahhh!"
Lingzi was stunned for a moment, as was Amuro Toru, but they reacted quickly.
"What's going on? Isn't this Kawasaki's voice?"
Toru Amuro and Lingzi ran over there, followed by Conan, "He went to the bathroom, right?"
"Correct."
Conan held up his watch to illuminate the area, looking at Kawasaki who was sitting on the ground. Lingzi came up behind him and frowned. She seemed to have remembered some key clue.
“Uncle Kawasaki.”
"what."
Mao Li went over to see his condition and said, "Hey, cheer up."
"Hey Hey hey."
Amuro Toru squatted on the ground, "Poison."
Lingzi stood at the back, guarding the people coming later.
"Judging from the smell in his mouth, he must have drunk a cyanide poison."
Lingzi took out a copper coin from her bag and said, "Tou."
Amuro Toru took the coin and put it into the water on the ground to test it. "But the water that came out of this bottle did not show any redox reaction. So it seems that this bottle of water was not poisoned."
"Why is that?"
"This, this, this is not what I did."
"Another code."
Fujiide took a step forward and stepped on a piece of paper, "Huh?"
"Another code?"
Conan looked at the paper and said, "This coded paper is placed here, which may mean that this revenge game has not ended yet."
"Damn it, the phone has been disconnected and now I can't contact the Nagano Prefecture police at all."
"Two people have been killed, what should we do next?"
Lingzi blinked, "I think maybe the antenna of a mobile phone base station was blown off by the blizzard."
Nishino: "But why would Kawasaki..."
Yu Hui, "Was he really poisoned to death?"
Amuro Toru nodded and looked at Mr. Kawasaki carefully again. "Yes, one possibility is that he was fed cyanide poison. Another possibility is that someone set a trap and made him drink it himself."
Fujiide, "If that's the case, there are other people lurking in this old church besides us."
"They have just checked the bottle next to Kawasaki. The water in the bottle is not poisonous."
"This means that someone forced the poison into his mouth and then poured water into it, right?"
Nishino looked at him, "It's very likely that's the case."
"Besides, Kawasaki is a germaphobe. No matter how others set up traps, he won't let his guard down and drink the poison himself."
Yu Hui, "But Kawasaki, he has a habit of drinking water very much."
