"So, the murderer escaped from the balcony with that hook rope?" Officer Megure asked, looking at the hook rope hanging on the balcony.
“You can’t go wrong.”
"When we chased after him, the rope was still shaking." Hattori Heiji said firmly.
"Hey, Tsushima, what did you find?" He turned to ask Tsushima Shuji who was standing aside.
"So...where did Mr. Hidetomi go?" Officer Megure asked.
"We have been looking for Master Xiuchen since the beginning, but..." Butler Wu shook his head.
"If you can't find it anywhere, I'm afraid he's dead." Tsushima Shuji suddenly said.
"What are you talking about, Tsushima." Hattori Heiji suddenly raised his head.
The murderer died just after killing someone?
"As for the real murderer... I already know it." The boy with his right eye bandaged squatted down and observed the body with the primary school student.
He slowly took out a pair of white gloves from the inner pocket of his coat and put them on, and found a ball of thread from the pocket of the deceased's clothes.
"It's a kite string..." His words conveyed an unexpected feeling.
Then he looked at the deceased's right hand.
"Officer Megure, you should have found the tools left by the murderer, right?" Shuji Tsushima stood up, took off his gloves and casually handed them to Toru Amuro, and then asked.
Toru Amuro caught the glove with a smile on his face: Tsk.
Scotland, who was watching, sighed inwardly: knowing that he would be retaliated against, he had slandered Kaa in front of so many people before...
This is the treatment you deserve/heartbroken.
"Indeed, we found the knife, bandages and hat used by the murderer." Officer Megure looked at Takagi who was holding the ID bag aside and said.
"It seems that my reasoning is correct..." Tsushima Shuji said, touching his chin.
"What on earth do you know, Tsushima, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious." Hattori Heiji urged.
"Mr. Hidetomi we saw upstairs was not Mr. Hidetomi, but Mr. Guangming in disguise." Tsushima Shuji said calmly.
"As for the real Mr. Hidetomi... I guess he might have committed suicide long ago."
"What?!!!" Everyone was shocked.
"After Mr. Hidetomi committed suicide, his body should have been buried, or... right there." Shuji Tsushima stared at the pool not far away.
The moonlight fell on the young man, but could not penetrate into his dark eyes.
"Ms. Hinata, is your hand...or watch, okay?"
Miss Hinata suddenly turned pale.
"Or...can you lend us your pen?" Tsushima Shuji asked again.
Kudo Shinichi & Hattori Heiji: Pen?!!!
The two quickly looked at the right hand of the deceased, Mr. Guangming, and finally understood where the wound on the back of the other's hand came from.
But...why?
Miss Hinata's face turned even paler, and her body was trembling.
"Miss Hinata, this weather..."
"It's really cold under the pool." Tsushima Shuji looked at her and then looked at the pool.
After all, when he entered the water, the water surrounding him was ice cold.
Hinata Sachi suddenly knelt down on the ground weakly.
"Why...why did you find out so quickly..."
Shuji Tsushima glanced at her.
"You really fall in love with Mr. Hidetomi..." he said with emotion.
"Yes..." Miss Hinata affirmed without hesitation.
"Even if he was one of the original arsonists?" Shuji Tsushima asked again.
How ironic.
"Yes... I actually fell hopelessly in love with him..." Miss Hinata banged the floor and cried bitterly.
"Please, don't let Xiuchen stay alone in the cold water..." she cried, covering her face.
"Hey... Brother Tsushima, what do you mean..." Officer Megure asked with a confused expression.
"Well... let's fish Mr. Hidetomi out first." Tsushima Shuji shook his head.
What an enviable man he is/sigh.
They drained the water in the pond and found Mr. Hidetomi's body underneath.
As well as the suicide note and stones in the other party's clothes.
"The suicide note should have written the truth about the original fire incident..."
"The people who set the fire in the first place were probably Mr. Hidetomi and Mr. Guangming."
"Mr. Hidetomi was unwilling to receive treatment because he had been living in regret, and in the end he chose to commit suicide out of regret..."
"But the estimated time of Mr. Hidetomi's death is only a short distance from the time of the crime..." Officer Takagi asked.
"No, Mr. Hidetomi committed suicide as early as the day before the incident." Shuji Tsushima shook his head and denied their statement.
"As for the time of death...I am afraid that after Mr. Hidetomi died, Mr. Guangming and Miss Hinata buried him in the soil..."
"In this case, the decomposition time of the corpse can be extended to a certain extent..."
"Then Mr. Guangming dug out Mr. Hidetomi and threw him into the pool before pretending to be the other party..."
"Am I right? Miss Hinata." Tsushima Shuji raised his head and asked Hinata who was standing aside.
"...Yes...you are right..." Miss Hinata said after being silent for a moment.
"As for Mr. Guangming's purpose of doing this..."
"I'm afraid it's to kill Chairman Nagato and frame it on Mr. Hidetomi."
Shuji Tsushima pointed to the kite string on the side.
"The person who asked Mr. Guangming to do this was Miss Hinata who was staying next to Mr. Nagato who was already asleep."
"Mr. Guangming did not escape from the second floor balcony, but climbed from the second floor balcony to the third floor again. He was about to kill Mr. Nagato who was sleeping with a kite string. Unexpectedly, he was pushed down by his accomplice, Ms. Hinata.
On the balcony..."
"The moment Mr. Guangming fell, he probably grabbed Miss Hinata's watch, so that in desperation, she could only take out a pen and stab his hand."
"By the way, I heard the sound of Miss Hinata doing experiments the night before."
"After all, I am a restless sleeper." The young man seemed to be joking to himself, but also seemed to be telling a fact.
"...Everything is just like...you said..." Miss Hinata said helplessly as she knelt on the ground.
"...Guang Guang is actually able to live well without any pressure..."
"Xiuchen... he didn't tell me the truth..."
"After the fire, I became an orphan..."
"I fell in love with Hidetomi who saved me from the sea of fire..."
"But..." Miss Hinata clenched her fists.
"But even if you knew that the other person was one of the original murderers, you still fell hopelessly in love with him, right?"
"Your target has always been Mr. Guangming."
"Ms. Hinata, it's hard to light the fire."
Shuji Tsushima looked at the kneeling woman with compassion in his eyes.
"...Detectives...are all as good as you?" Miss Hinata asked this question before being taken away by the police.
"...All my inner thoughts seem to have been seen through..." She stared at the young boy who looked still immature.
That sentence about the water in the pool being very cold immediately broke down all her defenses.
And fire is difficult to light... and it also revealed the way she originally planned to die for herself.
He was rescued from the fire and died in the fire.
But...it's really hard to light the fire...
Why could Mr. Hidetomi and Mr. Guangming do it so easily back then?
She looked at the others.
"It seems that you are the only one like this." She lowered her head and got into the police car.
Hattori Heiji & Kudo Shinichi:...Damn it.
"What does she mean?"
"Is she saying that we can't compare to that Tsushima guy?"
The two people rolled their eyes and complained.
"Tell me honestly, when did you discover the truth?" Hattori Heiji put his hand around Tsushima Shuji's neck and said.
"I advise you not to ask..." the primary school student said coolly from the side.
"Well... I actually didn't know until I saw the body." Tsushima Shuji said in an embarrassed tone.
Although Wu Guanjia knew the general method when he answered the phone.
When you hear the sound at night, you know that someone will commit a crime and someone will die.
Of course, there is no need to tell these two righteous detectives.
after all……
Knowing that the other person will die but not taking any action to save them is really unbecoming of a righteous detective.
"No..." Hattori Heiji glanced at the elementary school student.
Neither he nor Kudo could know the truth when they saw the corpse...
"Haha, I told you not to ask anymore." The primary school student said with eyes closed as he held the back of his head in his hands.
Kudo Shinichi: I'm used to it now. If Tsushima had discovered it slower, I'm afraid there might be something wrong.
but……
"You can see through people's hearts..." the primary school student said in a leisurely tone.
Of course he could see the other party's reasoning, and he paid more attention to grasping the prisoner's psychology than evidence.
And with just one sentence, Ms. Hinata admitted her crime...
"It's just a coincidence." Tsushima Shuji said casually.
Kudo Shinichi: Haha.
How could it be a coincidence every time!!
…
"Kudo..."
"Um?"
"Next time, let's reason together when Tsushima is not around." Hattori Heiji said hesitantly.
"Okay." Kudo Shinichi said without hesitation.
"You actually agreed?!" Hattori Heiji said in surprise.
"Please... it would be a nightmare to be involved in the same case as Tsushima." Kudo Shinichi's scalp went numb.
Just when you are about to make deductions and collect evidence, the other party has already found the culprit and the method.
This is no fun for a detective eager to reason!
Moreover, that guy Tsushima is quite casual about solving cases, and sometimes he is unwilling to solve cases even if he knows the truth.
Occasionally, he will also give him tips on leaking secrets.
Kudo Shinichi: Damn it, if you think about it this way, you will lose even more completely!
"Kudo..."
"what."
"Thanks a lot."
It seems that you have experienced situations like today.
Kudo Shinichi: Haha.
…
"You were really proactive in solving the case today." Toru Amuro couldn't help but said.
Since it was still night, they still stayed at Nagato's house.
And because of the lies he told Butler Wu before, the other party actually laid out two mats for them during Tsushima Shuji's holiday.
But it was impossible to sleep in the same room as Tsushima Shuji.
They had no choice but to continue and play another game.
"After all, if we leave it to them, we won't be able to find the murderer all day and all night." Shuji Tsushima lay lazily on the bed, playing games without raising his head.
"I don't want to spend so much time with them."
"It only proves that, Kaa, you are really too smart." Scotland said in a gentle tone.
It is a mind that is incompatible with the people around him.
"Well, it's me after all." Tsushima Shuji said casually.
