Vol 20 Chapter 156: Sooner or later

"It should be this."

Xie Chen took the coffee bag and said, "Look, there is a wire tied on the label of this package of coffee."

"Really." Kogoro Mouri took the coffee bag, compared it with the plug, and said, "They are all the same size."

Hattori Heiji asked immediately: "Who opened the package."

Hitomi Iwai said, "It's Mr. Kawazu and Mr. Toba."

Kogoro Mouri said without hesitation: "The facts are already in front of you. The murderer is Mr. Kawazu. You are right."

Xie Chen nodded. Basically, whoever he said was the murderer can be ruled out.

"Don't rush to your conclusion." Kawazu Ikuo waved his hand: "Because there were three other people in the kitchen..."

"Idiot!" Moori Kogoro shouted: "Of those three people, they had perfect alibi at the time of the first murder."

He cleared his throat and continued: "You probably wrapped the pulled wire around the plug while the other three people were not paying attention, and then went back to the living room and waited for the power outage. I was right."

He didn't give Kawazu Ikuo a chance to speak at all, "Then in the dark, he attacked Mr. Fujisawa with the crushed ice cone that came out with the ice. Mr. Fujisawa's lighter just became your target.

"But you didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway." Having said that, he looked back at Hattori Heiji, "Is that right?"

"That's right." Hattori Heiji said, "It's really like this, but I always think something is wrong, right, kid."

Hattori Pingci looked down at Xie Chen, and Xie Chen said defenselessly. "Yes, it's different from the first and second incident."

"In this incident where Mr. Fujisawa was attacked, the murderer left very obvious evidence of the crime, so I wonder if this incident was not in the murderer's plan..."

Speaking of this, Xie Chen realized that everyone was looking at him with a look of some unknown creature.

"Xie Chen..."

Xie Chen hurriedly scratched his head and said, "But I'm just a kid and I don't understand anything."

Mao Lilan also squatted down and put his arms around Xie Chen's shoulders and smiled: "Please don't mind, this kid just likes to play detective games, hurry up and come next to me."

Hattori Heiji took a deep breath. He looked at Xie Chen with a naive face, and thought to himself: He is not playing a detective game at all, but a perfect reasoning.

After returning to the lobby, Lu Tian said: "But Mr. Detective, don't you think it is strange. If Mr. Kawazu is really the murderer, at the second time, what method did he use to set the garage on fire?"

What she said was justified and well-founded, "And the first murder case was, before the boss' car crashed down the cliff, the car used to accelerate, didn't it?"

"That's right." Kawazu Ikuo also said.

"Yes." Hattori Heiji said: "The second incident has almost been solved, but the first time I have no idea."

Lu Tianxingzhi said in surprise: "You already know? How to set the garage on fire?"

Hattori Heiji said: "It can be said that, all in all, there are four suspicious points in the first murder case. Why did the innkeeper disappear all day and why the car suddenly accelerated."

"Next, why are there strange noises in the car, and the blanket on the dashboard, and now another question has been added, that is, why the innkeeper is holding the steering wheel with both hands."

"Even if the road is bumpy, the body will not shake. When the innkeeper was sitting in the car, it happened to be the period when his body was stiff after being killed."

Lu Tian Xingzhi asked, "Is my body stiff?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "The corpse usually begins to stiffen within 30 minutes to two hours after death, and the whole body becomes stiff within nine to twelve hours."

Everyone listened quietly. Although they were all Sherlock Holmes fans, this kind of thing hadn't been studied.

"In the next 30 hours, it will continue to be stiff, and then it will gradually soften. After about 70 hours, it will return to the original. The body of the boss sitting in the car at about 3:30 in the morning is completely stiff."

"So it can be judged that the murder was between 3:30 and 6:30 the day before yesterday afternoon."

"In other words, the murderer started before dinner, but what I can't figure out is why the boss's body must be put in the car so early."

Huyeyan said at this time: "Just to make him look like suicide, the murderer must kill the boss before dinner, then get into the car, and then fix him in a state of holding the steering wheel tightly."

He also said in an orderly manner, “When he was stiff, he finished dinner and then took the opportunity to go to the garage to start the car. In other words, the murderer was one of the people who left the living room after dinner.”

With these words, he glanced at his suspicion cleanly, Lu Tian Xingzhi still asked: "Then why does the car suddenly accelerate?"

Kawazu Ikuo also said: "It's impossible for a dead person to accelerate by himself."

"Yes!" Mouri Kogoro said suddenly, "The real murderer is you, astrologer, Lu Tian Yukiyuki!"

"What did you say?" Lu Tian Xingzhi was obviously taken aback.

Kogoro Mouri said pretentiously: "You must have used hypnotism to get the hotel owner to drive, right?"

"Uh..." Everyone was shocked, is this the famous detective in the legend?

Xie Chen sighed silently and asked Hattori Heiji: "If the temperature rises, what will happen to the stiffness after death? Will it increase the rate of stiffness."

Hattori Heiji looked at Xie Chen with an imperceptible smile, shrugged and said, "I don't know the situation at all, because I'm relatively stupid."

"Forget it, I'll go to the toilet."

"I am coming too."

Xie Chen curled his lips. Sooner or later, it's better to numb you first, and then try to block your mouth, so he hid behind the door and fired at Hattori Heiji with a watch-type anesthesia gun.

Then, Hattori Heiji leaned on the door and sat on the ground.

"This is too ridiculous!" Lu Tian Yukizhi still shouted at Kogoro Mouri: "I am just an astrologer, not a magician who does magic! How could it be hypnotized!" ..
