Stay away from Conan

Chapter 206 The Devil’s Mercy

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Akechi!"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Officer Mumu couldn't help but raised his forehead and said, "Are you okay?"

"I really can't remember there were so many people at that time!"

Gao Yuan said helplessly, "If I have to say it, I only remember that the person was near the window at that time. Maybe he remembered who was near him after the light came on."

As he spoke, Takato pointed to a man in the crowd, the man whose cell phone rang when Ohashi Hisaku told everyone to be quiet.

"There is no other way but to ask one by one."

Officer Megure said helplessly, and arranged for Takagi Wataru to question that person.

"However, no one else at the scene had gun smoke reactions. How can we explain this?"

Officer Megure thought for a moment and asked again.

"I really haven't figured it out yet."

Gao Yuan confessed - but if you have to say it, there are more doubts about this case. For example, why did the murderer have to go so far before throwing the murder weapon out of the window? At the same time, how the murder weapon was brought in is also a question.

Just a pistol would be fine, but with night vision goggles, the guests present were all dressed in suits and evening gowns, so it didn't look like they could hide the night vision goggles. If I have to say it, it seems that the only one who can bring such a thing in is the most suspicious one in a trench coat?

Thinking of this, after thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan asked the girl: "Miss, are you the granddaughter of President Ohashi?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

The girl said impatiently.

"So, Miss Ohashi, you know that when the auction starts, President Ohashi will ask the lights to be turned off. Is this arranged in advance?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes. Because we want to deliberately show off the auction items, grandpa's plan is to use spotlights to display them in a dark banquet hall."

The granddaughter of Chairman Ohashi, Chinatsu Ohashi, answered.

"Who else knows about this?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Mr. Okuda should also know."

Ohashi Chinatsu looked at the middle-aged man beside her and said. His name is Okudamura, and he is here to be the host of the charity auction.

"I do know."

Okudamura replied.

"Brother Mingzhi, do you have any thoughts on asking this?"

Officer Megure couldn't help but ask.

"Not ready yet."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, then he remembered something and asked Chinatsu Ohashi, "By the way, I remember that before President Ohashi started the auction, did Miss Ohashi say anything to President Ohashi?"

Recalling the previous situation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's like this. When my grandfather saw that the time was up, but there were still people coming in and out of the banquet hall, he was a little dissatisfied. He wanted to wait until everyone arrived before starting the auction, so I told him: Forget it, the banquet guests will come. How come there are so many people there? I think it’s time to open everyone’s eyes!”

Ohashi Chinatsu said.

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said, and then asked: "By the way, is the sound insulation of this banquet hall very good?"

"yes."

Ohashi Chinatsu replied with some confusion.

"Thanks."

After saying that, Gao Yuan turned around and left the banquet hall, came outside the villa, walked to the lawn where the murder weapon was found, looked around, and then looked up at the window where the banquet hall on the second floor was located, and the window facing the same window. This lawn is where the toilets are located on the second floor.

"I thought too much! This case is much simpler than I thought!"

Looking at this scene, Gao Yuan suddenly understood, and immediately ran back to the banquet hall, found Gao Musha and asked him to verify something, then hurriedly walked to where the deceased was standing, and looked at the two tablecloths on both sides. At the round table, Gao Yuan lifted up the tablecloth and climbed under the table, seemingly checking something.

Seeing this, Ohashi Chinatsu's face suddenly turned pale.

"Brother Mingzhi, what are you..."

Officer Megure asked unclearly until Gao Yuan took out a white silk scarf from his pocket and a pistol from under the table.

"This is!"

Surprised, Officer Megure took the pistol from Gao Yuan and asked.

"The real murder weapon!"

Takato smiled, then looked at Ohashi Chinatsu, "I was really fooled at first."

"Brother Akechi, please explain it carefully. If this is the murder weapon, what happened to what was found on the lawn?"

Officer Megure asked.

"It's very simple."

Gao Yuan said, "The murderer waited for the lights to go out, stood next to the deceased and fired the gun, and then immediately hid the murder weapon under the table next to him. After that, the murderer's accomplice broke the weapon farthest from the deceased, near the door. The glass of the window creates the illusion that the murderer walked there after committing the crime, but in fact the murderer never moved at all! In other words, the murderer is indeed one of Miss Ohashi and Mr. Okuda! "

"What did you say!"

Officer Megure said in surprise, then looked at Ohashi Chinatsu and Okudamura.

"Hey! Wait a minute! What do you mean! Why did we suddenly become murderers again!"

Ohashi Chinatsu said angrily, "Do you have any evidence to prove this?"

"As for the evidence, I'm not sure, but the location of the pistol and the smoke reaction on your bodies mean that the murderer can only be among you. As for who it is, you should be able to understand it after asking the accomplices. Moreover, at that time, it was so In the dark, I don’t think the murderer could completely remove the fingerprints on this gun!”

Gao Yuan said.

"Go get tested!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Memu immediately handed the gun to the police officer beside him, and then asked Gao Yuan:

"But, accomplice? Who is it!"

"To complete this incident, the murderer must have two accomplices."

Gao Yuan said, "One was an accomplice who helped break the glass in the banquet hall, and the other was an accomplice who threw down the night vision goggles in the toilet outside the banquet hall! The reason why the shooting position was different from the window The purpose of such a distance is to prove that it is impossible for you to commit murder, but in fact, the pistol dropped on the lawn was not the pistol that killed the deceased at all. This can be clear as long as the ballistics test is done. "

After a pause, Gao Yuan continued: "Because at today's dinner, everyone is wearing very slim suits or evening gowns, so even if you can bring a pistol in, it is absolutely impossible to bring in night vision goggles. Therefore, the murderer asked us It’s very suspicious to think that he used night vision goggles to kill people in a dark environment, so I think that’s what happened!”

With that said, Gao Yuan began to explain:

"When the lights went out, the murderer took out his pistol, killed the deceased, and took advantage of the darkness to fumble and hide the pistol under the table next to him. Then, the accomplice in the banquet hall took out the gun he was carrying. After smashing the glass with his pistol, he threw it out. After that, another accomplice in the toilet also threw the night vision goggles out of the window. This created a scene like the murderer. Go to the window and throw down the pistol and night vision goggles!”

With that said, Gao Yuan looked at Ohashi Chinatsu.

"To complete this trick, there must be someone cooperating in the toilet outside the banquet hall when the lights go out, so you said that sentence at that time! And because the banquet hall is well soundproofed, the accomplice in the toilet cannot confirm what started with the sound You can act. At the same time, if the accomplice keeps staring at the banquet hall from the window, other people going to the toilet will notice his strange behavior, so the accomplice needs to confirm with another accomplice in the banquet hall when the auction will take place. The meeting has started, so he calls the people in the hall. If the other party hangs up the phone directly, it means that the whole place needs to be quiet, that is, the auction has begun and it is time to take action! "

"Yes, the person in the banquet hall who received the call when the deceased announced the start of the auction, the person who stood near the window after the lights came on, is the accomplice in the banquet hall, and the person who called him, Just another accomplice!”

Gao Yuan said, "I have asked Officer Takagi to verify this. I believe there will be results soon!"

While he was talking, the fingerprint test on the pistol came back with results. There was still half a fingerprint that had not been wiped clean on the trigger of the pistol!

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."

At this point, the case is over. Takagi Wataru has also controlled the two accomplices, and the real culprit is indeed Ohashi Chinatsu. As for the reason why the granddaughter killed her grandfather, it is up to the police to investigate in detail!

It's a pity that what was supposed to be a good charity auction dinner ended like this. However, the murderer was arrested and all the guests present were able to leave.

Kuroba Kaito looked at each other as he left, feeling a little helpless that they had returned without success. Then the two of them left without any interaction.

"Mr. Akechi, please wait!"

As soon as he walked out of the villa, Gao Yuan was stopped by Hanada Emi.

"Miss Hanada, what's the matter?"

Pretending to be calm, Gao Yuan said - the person who appeared at the dinner today was really unexpected, but since he had decided not to investigate the matter in detail, he had to avoid her as much as possible!

"That... Mr. Akechi..."

Seemingly a little shy, Hanada Emi blushed slightly, turned her head, hesitantly seemed to want to say something, but soon ran away as if she was shy——

"Sorry, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it!"

After leaving such a sentence, Hanada Emi ran away, leaving Gao Yuan a little at a loss.

But thinking about Miyano Shiho's instructions, Gao Yuan felt that something was wrong!

…

"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: S"

"Logic: S"

"Observation: S"

"Knowledge: A"

"Settlement is completed, the overall score reaches S, the reward is 50, additional rewards will be issued, please choose:"

"Reward 1: Disposable props"

"Reward 2: Special props III"

"Reward Three: The Murderer's Secret"

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Bounty: 1350"

After returning home and looking at the settlement panel and rewards, Gao Yuan did not hesitate to exclude "reward three". Thinking of the special props that were a bit tasteless last time, Gao Yuan chose "reward one" this time:

"Name: Devil"

"Special effect: The devil played a pityful joke on you. Mitarai Kyousuke's consciousness has revived in your body. Obey or resist? The devil is looking forward to it. After waking up this time, who are you! Use this effect Afterwards, this prop will disappear."

"How to receive it: Sleeping, effective immediately!"

Gao Yuan's pupils widened as he looked at this creepy special effect. Gao Yuan, who had no time to react, instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground!
