The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 173 Reasoning about the murderer

How big is it?

Bai Masong's question stunned Anxi Jingzi for a moment.

Although she has worked in Liushuiting restaurant for several years, she is very familiar with all aspects of the business.

However, it would be a bit difficult for her to tell you the exact size of the ship.

She thought about it for a while, but still couldn't describe the feeling, so she just said,

"Well, officer, I'll take you to our warehouse and let you take a look at it in person."

"Ah."

Baimasong nodded and said this was also acceptable.

In other words, this approach is more objective and practical.

Hearing that Baimasong agreed, Anxi Jingzi led Baimasong out.

The warehouse where the boats are stored is not on the island in the middle of the lake where the guest rooms are located.

Instead, it is stored next to the kitchen, which is also for the convenience of serving and plating.

"arrive."

Anxi Jingzi brought Bai Masong and stopped in front of a door and said.

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the door.

"Captain Baima, all the boats have been stored here."

Anzai Kyoko pointed to the rows of small boats placed inside the warehouse and said.

It was also because of the murder that all the ships were taken back, so Baimasong was able to have a full view.

"Okay, trouble."

Bai Ma Song said.

After saying that, Bai Masong asked again,

"Are the doors here usually locked?"

"Eh? Yes."

Anzai Kyoko said affirmatively,

"This place is usually locked to prevent others from entering. Besides, I am the only one who has the key here."

"Ok, I see."

Bai Masong nodded and walked in.

Although it is called a warehouse, it is actually just a separately divided area. There is flowing water inside it, which is connected to the water outside.

At this time, all five small boats of the restaurant were parked here in an orderly manner.

At a glance, Baimasong saw five boats, four of which were very small, like toy boats.

There was only one, and it was a relatively large ship, probably used to transport heavier items such as alcohol.

Bai Masong estimated that the largest ship was about 1.56 meters long.

Although the space in the middle of the boat should not be large, it is enough for a smaller person to curl up and lie inside.

After Bai Masong confirmed his thoughts, he asked Anxi Jingzi again,

"Ms. Anxi, are all the dishes in Room 3 transported by this kind of large ship?"

"Eh?"

Anzai Kyoko was a little confused.

"Yes, Mr. Iwama Nobuo always orders a large dish every time he comes here, and he also specifically requests that a large ship be used for transportation."

"We saw that he had a lot of dishes and he was a regular customer, so we agreed."

"What's wrong with this?"

Although this is indeed the case, Anxi Kyoko doesn't understand how Bai Masong knew it.

After hearing what Anxi Jingzi said, Bai Masong was completely certain of his thoughts.

All the chains of evidence and reasoning point to him.

Then, there is nothing much to say about the identity of the murderer.

and......

Baimasong looked at the black stain on the ship, reached out his hand, picked up a little, and smelled it gently.

Sure enough, the stain on the boat was puffer fish caviar.

Now we have evidence. The murderer was really careless.

Thinking of this, Bai Masong walked out.

"That's enough, Miss Anxi."

"I already know the murderer."

.......................

Hakubamatsu returned to the crime scene and asked Inspector Megure to gather everyone.

He's about to start.

"Brother Bai Ma, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Inspector Megure asked in surprise.

"Um,"

Bai Masong said lightly,

"I already know who the murderer is and his methods."

As Bai Masong spoke, his sharp eyes like a knife kept sweeping over the people present, finally stopping on Iwama Nobuo's face.

"The murderer is you, Professor Nobuo Iwama."

what? !

"Hey, hey, Song boy, you are sure,"

As the supporting actor, Maori Kogoro immediately spoke up.

"Professor Nobuo Iwama has an alibi!"

Iwama Nobuo was originally frightened by Hakuba Matsu's words, and then he heard Maori Kogoro also defending himself, so he also refuted,

"That's what I mean!"

"I have an alibi!"

Bai Masong listened to what the two said and sneered with disdain.

"That alibi? That can be faked!"

"Detective Maori, I suppose you haven't seen him in person either?"

"Yes, that's right."

After listening to Hakuba Matsu's words, Maori Kogoro also hesitated.

I only heard Bai Masong continue to say,

"Professor Nobuo Iwama's technique is very simple."

"All you need to do is prepare a recorder and record the conversation, then take a rubber band, two thumbtacks, ice cubes and a paper bag for wrapping chopsticks provided by the restaurant, and you're good to go."

"First, open the window and attach rubber bands to the window handle and the left side of the window frame. This way, the window will close by itself when it is opened."

"Then, connect the right side of the opened window to the rightmost frame with a paper bag and thumbtacks, so that the window will appear to be open."

"Finally, place an ice cube in the gap between the paper bag and the right window."

"So, once the ice melts, the water will wet the bag, the tension on the bag will decrease, and the rubber band will break the bag."

"Finally, under the tension of the rubber band, the window will be pulled shut with a 'snap'!"

"Combined with the recording in the recorder, the alibi is complete."
