Chapter 661 The Replaced Person
At this time, Takagi Wataru was conducting a simple investigation here with several policemen.
"Officer Baima, you're just in time."
Takagi Wataru saw Hakuba Song coming over and hurried to meet him.
Bai Ma Song also nodded to him.
"Takagi, have you found anything here?"
"A little bit,"
Takagi Wataru said to Hakuba Matsu.
He took two steps towards the body, picked up two evidence bags and handed them to Bai Masong, then said to Bai Masong,
"Officer Baima, we found these two things in the bushes next to the body."
"We have not yet been able to determine what exactly it is."
Bai Masong took the evidence bag and looked at it carefully.
One of the evidence bags contained a short white stick about the thickness of a chopstick and the length of a finger. Bai Masong pinched and bent it with his hands and found that it was quite tough.
The other evidence bag contained a small piece of wood with a rather unique shape, but Whitehorse Pine could tell its origin at a glance - it was the "bridge" of a violin.
Looking at these two things, Bai Masong subconsciously looked upstairs again.
At this time, he connected it with Yuga Kyosuke's previous performance and roughly deduced his method.
For this reason, Bai Masong couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart that Yuga Kyosuke's method this time was indeed beautiful and made full use of people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Bai Masong put the two evidence bags into his pocket and went upstairs.
............
After going upstairs, Hakuba Matsu went straight to Shitara Ayane's room.
In the room, only Shiratori Jinsaburo and a group of police officers were left. Sato Miwako, Haibara Ai, Mori Kogoro and others were nowhere to be seen.
"White Bird, where are they?"
"Officer Sato and the others are waiting in the living room,"
Shiratori Renzaburo said to Baima Song,
"Mr. Yuga Kyosuke said it was already late, and Miss Renxi had lost two relatives at once, so he wanted to go back to the living room and wait. I thought there was nothing they needed to cooperate with here, so I agreed."
"Then, Officer Sato, Mr. Maori and others also went over to rest."
"Um,"
Bai Masong nodded, and then asked Bai Niao Renzabulang,
"Did you find anything here?"
"Some,"
Shiratori Renzaburo said to Baima Song,
"The first major discovery was that we found a violin behind the bed where the deceased slept. According to identification, this should be the real Storativarios."
"After we found it, we asked our housekeeper, Ms. Jinqu Hongsheng, to keep it safe. It's over there."
Shiratori Renzaburo said this and pointed in a certain direction.
Bai Masong looked over and saw that there was indeed a violin bag over there, so he confirmed with Shiratori Renzaburo,
"Is that indeed Storativarius?"
"It should be correct. When I found it, I took a close look at the structure inside and could see the AS logo."
Shiratori Renzaburo nodded.
"Who handled it when you found it?"
Bai Masong suddenly asked another question like this.
Shiratori Renzaburo was slightly stunned, then replied,
"I dealt with the police officer who discovered the incident, and the butler Jinqu Hongsheng. There was no one else."
"Well, in that case,"
Bai Ma Song ordered Bai Niao Renzabulang,
"Go ask the housekeeper Jinqu for a violin and two pairs of chopsticks. Tell her that I asked you to bring them to me."
"Officer Bai Ma, what are you doing..."
"Ah."
"it is good."
With just a slight mention from Shiratori Renzaburo, the student knew that the problem of Bai Ma Song had been solved, so he went to do things according to his instructions in a very happy mood.
Sometimes, you really have to say, it's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.
He had always thought that police officers like Inspector Megure were only capable of being followers, making all sorts of noises, and they weren't really police officers at all.
But now it’s my turn, and I suddenly feel how great it is to have such a capable teammate who can solve the case quickly in the middle of the night so that I can go back to sleep!
...........................
A moment later, in Shitara Ayane's room
After Hakubamatsu's call, everyone arrived, including Shitara Choichiro who was fully prepared.
“The purpose of gathering everyone here at this time is to solve this case.”
Bai Masong pointed out the theme at the beginning.
"I think everyone has a rough idea of what's going on. Mr. Shitara Gensaburo and Ms. Shitara Ayane, who died one after another this time, were both intentionally murdered, not accidentally."
"And the murderer is the same person. This person is——"
"Mr. Haga Kyosuke."
The murderer is...Haga Kyosuke?
For some unknown reason, when Bai Masong read out this name, the expressions of the people present did not change much.
Kogoro Mouri's eyes darkened and he looked at Kyosuke Hanega. Conan just glanced at him without changing his expression. Xiaolan was slightly surprised.
Not to mention Sato Miwako and Haibara Ai. Although they didn't offer any suggestions, they had already become suspicious when Yuga Kyosuke pushed open the window.
The one who was truly surprised and found it hard to accept was Renki Shitara.
"Just kidding..."
Shitara Renxi covered her mouth and looked at Bai Masong with lifeless eyes.
"Brother Song, how could uncle be...how could he be the murderer..."
"The murderer can only be Mr. Haga Kyosuke,"
Bai Ma Song did not change his expression in the face of Shitara Renxi's words, and continued to speak calmly,
"In the first case, the method was very simple. They used cigarette butts to start a fire and faked it to look like an accident. Anyone can do this."
"But in the second case, Storativarios was switched."
"Afterwards, we found the real Storativarius behind the bed of the deceased, Ayane Shitara, but the swap was very suspicious."
"Because the Storativarius is the Shitara family's heirloom, there are only four people who have the chance to take it."
"That is - Mr. Shitara Choichiro, the master of the Shitara family, and Ms. Tsugaku Kousei, the housekeeper who has the authority to open the collection room..."
