Conan’s Almighty Extraction - Chapter 364
Zhumu criminal looked blankly at ‘Maori xiaowulang’ and asked, “what does this mean, Mr. Maori?”
Xiao Lan reacted and said suddenly, “by the way, the murderer is the man we saw, the one who drives the boat in a red baseball cap.”
Zhumu criminal raised an objection and asked, “but when that man appeared, it was two hours before the ship sank. What did you say about his method to let the ship sink to the bottom of the sea two hours later?”
“Zhumu criminal, Xiaolan is not wrong. That man is the real murderer.”
“Maori Kogoro” supported Xiaolan’s conjecture and warned: “we just need to think about why the murderer committed the murder yesterday. I think the two police officers should know very well that yesterday was a day of spring tide.”
“Yes, it’s because of the sea tide that it’s very difficult to salvage the body, but does that mean anything? Could you please explain the reason in more detail.” Zhumu criminal is still confused. I don’t know why Maori Kogoro moved the topic to the sea tide.
“Don’t you understand? The so-called spring tide is the day when the water level changes the most between ebb and full tide, so the murderer committed murder yesterday.”
“In fact, the guy with the baseball cap we saw immediately took off the lifejacket of lawyer orange who was sleeping after taking sleeping pills and threw it into the sea. Then he threw the anchor stolen with the boat into the sea at the same time, and then hooked the side of the ship driven by lawyer orange with the metal hook tied to the stern cable.”
“Do this well. As long as the water level rises at full tide, the ship floats up with the water, and the ship anchor leaves the seabed with the rise of the water level and is suspended in the sea. At this time, the gravity of the ship anchor will naturally tilt the ship to the side where the ship anchor is hung, resulting in the capsizing of the boat.”
“When the boat capsizes, the metal hook will loose and sink into the sea. At this time, the orange lawyer will also sink into the sea. Naturally, there is only the fate of drowning.”
After explaining in detail the murderer’s method of killing lawyer orange, Maori xiaowulang concluded: “the murderer used this method to mislead us. He designed the time to kill lawyer orange.”
“I see.”
Zhumu criminal finally understood and suddenly realized: “the boss of Gushan, who rented the boat, did call to inform us that the anchor on the ship was stolen and has not been found yet. Now it seems that it may have sunk into the seabed. I will arrange personnel to search the sea area where the crime occurred.”
When Zhu Mu called to make arrangements, Mrs. orange wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked sadly, “but why did the murderer put such a cruel hand?”
“All these actions were to create an alibi. The murderer took great pains to make an alibi when the ship sank.” “Maori xiaowulang” explained.
Before long, Zhumu criminal finished the phone call and said with admiration: “Mr. Maori, my colleagues have found the ship anchor. It is indeed at the bottom of the ship capsizing site. Just now, the dog mountain boss has confirmed it, and a metal hook is indeed tied to one end of the cable.”
“Well, now let’s continue our reasoning.”
After verifying the previous reasoning, “Maori Kogoro” continued: “after the murderer landed, in order to make people point the spear at Mr. Xiong Tian, he deliberately left the red baseball cap embroidered with his name on the ship. I think this should be the hat the murderer got when he contacted Mr. Xiong Tian before. The murderer should be wearing a substitute with similar appearance.”
Zhumu nodded and confirmed: “after identification, it was found that the red baseball cap was indeed Xiong Tian’s hat. On it, except Mr. Xiong Tian’s hair, the appraisers did not find anyone else’s hair.”
“I think Mr. Xiong Tian knew the murderer long before this. The best proof is that she also entered Mr. Xiong Tian’s room and secretly put sleeping pills into whisky to let Mr. Xiong Tian drink it.”
“The murderer killed Mr. Xiong Tian by leaning against the paper door, covering his neck with a rope, and then winding the excess rope around the balcony railing so that he could pull it hard. Finally, he hung Mr. Xiong Tian up at one breath. After it was done, just tie the rope on the railing, open the paper door and put a chair under Mr. Xiong Tian’s feet.”
After explaining the method of the first case, the “Maori Kogoro” worked hard to explain the murderer’s method of killing kumata Daya.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Maori,” Zhu Mu interrupted Maori xiaowulang and questioned, “but the residents downstairs heard the loud noise upstairs around 7 p.m. during this time period, everyone present today has an alibi?”
“In fact, there was no need for an alibi at that time, which was exactly the same technique used by kumata when he killed Hetian Yayan five years ago.”
In a low voice, “Maori Kogoro” revealed the truth five years ago. Yasuhiko Hetian, who was falsely accused of embezzling customers’ funds, did not commit suicide, but was killed by kumata.
“What are you talking about?”
After listening to the words of “Maori Kogoro”, not only Zhumu changed his face, but even Mrs. orange and others showed surprised expressions.
“Remember the washing machine still running after 7 p.m.?”
After pointing out the key, Maori xiaowulang explained: “the murderer first wound a rope around the motor shaft of the washing machine, tied the rope, then looped the other end and put it on the back of the chair, and then set the washing time at seven o’clock. In this way, after the motor rotates, the rope is rolled and the chair is pulled down.”
At this time, Bai yanzhenyu also wanted to understand. Following the words of “Maori xiaowulang”, he said: “after the chair fell to the ground, the rope broke away from the back of the chair under the rotation of the motor and was involved in the washing machine. Even if someone found it, he would mistakenly think that the rope was accidentally involved in the washing machine, so when we arrived at the scene, we didn’t find the rope on the fallen chair.”
“In this case, lawyer orange was killed at about 1 p.m. and Mr. Xiong Tian’s estimated time of death was between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. So, in the six hours before 7:30, if there is no alibi during this period, it is likely to be a murderer.”
After reaching such a conclusion, the suspect’s crime time becomes more abundant, and the previous alibi of GuiJing Housekeeper will lose its function.
