The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 662: Modus operandi

"That is - Mr. Shitara Choichiro, the master of the Shitara family, Ms. Tsugaku Kousei, the housekeeper who has the authority to open the collection room, Ms. Shitara Renki, who borrowed the Storativarios for Mr. Shitara Choichiro's birthday today, and Mr. Hanega Kyosuke, who claims to have tuned the Storativarios."

"The possible order of the changes should be Haga Kyosuke, then Shitara Renki, and then Shitara Choichiro and Tsugaku Kousei."

"Because Yuga Kyosuke has absolute pitch, it's impossible for someone to switch the notes before him. After he tuned the notes, he gave them directly to Renxi. After that, Mr. Maori and I have been with Renxi."

"And Lian Xi had no chance to touch this Storativarius before today."

"In that case, I'm sure everyone has already thought of it,"

Bai Ma Song said this, paused, and then picked up the real Storativarios.

"We only need to check for fingerprints on this guitar to find out the murderer."

"If there are fingerprints of Renxi and Mr. Maori on it, then the person who switched the items must be one of the butler Tsukuda and Mr. Shitara Choichiro."

"But, unfortunately, there are no fingerprints of theirs on it, so the murderer can only be you."

"Mr. Haga Kyosuke."

After Bai Masong finished speaking, the scene remained silent.

At this time, even though Shitara Renxi found it hard to accept, she didn't say anything.

However, her bright eyes were fixed on Yuga Kyosuke. She didn't understand why he had killed so many of her relatives.

"That's not right."

Maori Kogoro suddenly asked a question.

"Hakuba, if you say so, Mr. Kyosuke is indeed the murderer, but he didn't have the chance to kill anyone."

"Especially when Mrs. Xuanyin died, he was still downstairs, playing the requiem for us."

"Could it be that he used some special method?"

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded and said lightly,

"Mr. Haga Kyosuke's technique is very simple."

"I'm sure everyone knows about the first case. It was that someone took some time to go to the annex and put a few burning cigarette butts there, which caused a fire in the entire annex. Mr. Shitara Gensaburo also died in it."

"As for the second case, it seems that he did not directly enter the room of the deceased, Ayane Shitara, nor could he have entered the room."

"But in fact, he can achieve his goal of killing by controlling Mrs. Xuanyin's psychology."

Grasp...psychology?

Listening to Hakumasong's words, Conan looked thoughtfully at the window of Shitara Ayane's room, and then looked at the pile of violin debris on the ground.

Bai Masong looked at the confused eyes of the crowd and continued to explain,

"Everyone, you can imagine it."

"Ever since her only son, Mr. Shitara Kyouto, died a year ago, Mrs. Shitara Ayane has always regarded Storativarius as a symbol of her son and has attached great importance to it."

“It even got to the point where I had to take it out and look at it every day.”

"But today, when she took out Storativarius, she found that it was different from before."

"What is Mrs. Xuanyin's mentality at this time?"

"anger?"

Shiratori Renzaburo stroked his chin and said thoughtfully,

"Because of anger, she smashed this fake Storativarius."

"Yes, she was very angry,"

Bai Masong said calmly,

"She was angry about the fake Storativarius, but at the same time she wanted to find the real Storativarius violin."

"And at this time, if someone gave her a real Storativarius, what do you think she would think?"

Gave a...Really Storativarius?

Everyone was a little confused. This house was just a bedroom. Who could come in and give Shitara Ayane a real violin, and even make her "commit suicide"?

"Is it the sound of leaning?"

Sato Miwako frowned slightly and guessed hesitantly,

"I remember that when Mr. Yuga Kyosuke played the Requiem, he opened the window. Could it be that he was holding the real Storativarius and transmitting the sound through the window to seduce Mrs. Shitara Ayane?"

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded approvingly.

"Mr. Yuga Kyosuke's purpose in playing the violin was exactly this. He insisted on going down to get the violin for this purpose."

"But he has more than just this arrangement."

Bai Masong said this, took two steps to the window, and pulled open the curtains.

As the curtains were drawn open, a shocking scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

There was a violin hanging on the window frame of Shitara Ayane's room!

"Guess what Mrs. Shitara Ayane thought of when she saw this scene?"

"Plus, Mr. Yuga Kyosuke is playing the real Storativarios. Will she think that this is the real Storativarios?"

"After realizing that this could be the real Storativarius, would she want to go up and take the violin down?"

Everyone listened to Bai Masong's words, then looked at the violin hanging on the window frame in front of them, and nodded silently.

From Shitara Ayane's perspective, they really want to do this.

"But will she really fall into this trap?"

Maori Kogoro raised a question.

"No matter how I look at it, it seems like this violin is placed very close. It looks like I can easily get it by just standing on a chair."

"Then Mr. Maori, would you like to come over and give it a try?"

Hakuba Song looked at Maori Kogoro with a sneer on his face.

Maori Kogoro's neck shrank slightly, and he spoke hesitantly.

"Still, never mind. I believe you."

"It's not that you have to believe me, but this is the nature of the trap."

Hakuba Song lightly corrected Kogoro Mori's words, and then demonstrated it to him directly.

He first slowly pushed open the window. Everyone looked carefully in the direction of the violin, but were surprised to find that the violin seemed to move outwards.

Baimasong pushed the window a little further, and the violin moved outward along with the window.

"do you understand?"

Bai Masong just turned around at this time and said to everyone,

"Fix the violin with a rope at the farthest point of a window. This way, every time Mrs. Xuanyin opens the window, the violin will move a short distance outward with the window."

“At first glance, it’s not far away, but the more you try to get closer to it, the further it moves away from you.”

"That was what happened to Mrs. Shitara Ayane. In addition, she had been burned tonight, and her mental state had been very bad since her son Shitara Shigeto died a year ago. Therefore, it was easy for her to miss a step and fall."
