Edogawa Conan, who was thinking about the problem, once again felt the eyes of Miyamoto Aito.
Light but extremely focused eyes.
A look that is so focused that you might think the other person is your secret admirer.
Edogawa Conan shuddered.
Who taught him to look at people like this?
Edogawa Conan turned his head and rolled his eyes at the other party.
Don't look at him like that!
If you look at him like this, how can he give Uncle Maori an anesthesia injection later? He will be discovered!
but……
Maybe silver bullets really can solve this problem.
This way you can save an anesthetic needle.
It's just that Uncle Maori will lose to this group of elementary school students again, which will be very embarrassing.
But what does this have to do with him?
What is embarrassing is Kogoro Mouri. What does it have to do with Shinichi Kudo or even Edogawa Conan?
Edogawa Conan thought in his heart.
But if these primary school students can't find the problem, Uncle Maori will still have to sleep for a while.
I can't trust the case to five elementary school students. I still need to get the evidence and answers as soon as possible.
Edogawa Conan approached the person holding the photo with a solemn expression and peeked at the photo secretly.
After receiving Edogawa Conan's eye roll, Aito blinked and looked away.
Don’t you like being looked at? Then next time you won’t look so directly.
Or is it that my eyes are too obvious?
But the eyes that look at family members should be full of love. When you love someone, even if you just mention the other person's existence, you can't help but show love from your eyes.
It took him a long time to learn how to look at his family with love in his eyes.
But that uncle said that being too direct will scare people.
Brother Shinichi and the others haven't agreed to be his family yet.
The eyes cannot be so obvious.
While Aito was thoughtful, the police officer who took the camera to develop the photos came back.
With a bunch of developed photos.
Officer Henggou distributed the photos to the detectives present for viewing.
Of course the members of Silver Bullet also got photos.
"These photos are really boring." Morohoshi Hideki looked at the men in various poses in the photos and said in a disgusted tone.
Watching an average-looking man of a certain age acting cute and taking pictures in front of the camera, he really doesn’t have this hobby.
"What can these photos show?" Jiang Shouhang sounded confused.
All they got were photos taken by Tetsuya Aoyagi.
In other words, the photos were all taken after 8:40.
Completely unable to explain anything.
"Officer Henggou, may I ask, what time will it be when the burning of the sky ends?" Mouri Kogoro said, holding a photo.
The No. 1 Night Sacrifice in the World will light the characters "天", "下" and "一" respectively on the mountain, so it is called the No. 1 Night Sacrifice in the World.
And the time when these three words are ignited is different.
For example, when they met Sei Nobuchi, the word "Yi" was ignited.
It was about 8:40.
In the photo held by Mouri Kogoro, the protagonist is still Sei Nobuichi, but the background behind him in the photo is a burning sky symbol.
"This is..." Officer Henggou was stunned for a moment after seeing the photo, and then showed a solemn expression.
"When the Tianzi burned, it was at eight o'clock. After the Tianzi burning ended, the time would be around 8:25." Officer Henggou said.
"Then, that is to say, Mr. Saii had already arrived at the festival venue before eight twenty-five. If he killed the deceased at eight o'clock, he would not be able to arrive at the venue within twenty-five minutes.
." Mouri Kogoro analyzed seriously.
"In other words, Mr. Saii does have a perfect alibi." Mouri Kogoro announced.
"What?! This is impossible!" Morohoshi Hideki snatched the photo from Mouri Kogoro's hand, and several people from Silver Bullet gathered together and gritted their teeth to check it.
If what Mouri Kogoro said is true, if this alibi is true, doesn't it mean that they suspected the wrong person?
But……
How can it be!
There are so many flaws, but there is a so-called perfect alibi...
They looked at the photo for a long time without seeing anything wrong with it, so they returned the photo to Kogoro Mori. Their expressions were depressed for a moment, and then they stared unwillingly at Sei Nobuichi who showed a relaxed smile.
"I still think this guy is the murderer." Morohoshi Hideki's voice was suppressed.
"So do we." Others from Silver Bullet echoed.
Evidence can be faked, and they will not doubt that there is a problem with their judgment because the so-called evidence is evidence handed over by the suspect himself.
They will only think that the suspect fabricated the so-called evidence.
Their reluctance is because they have no way to uncover this lie for the time being.
"Speak with evidence, little brothers." Shijing Nobu smiled proudly.
"Tch." Morohoshi Hideki made a meaningless sound, obviously feeling extremely unhappy.
Edogawa Conan was also extremely confused at this moment.
How come such photos exist?
If there is a perfect alibi, there is no way to say that the other party is the murderer, unless...
Find the flaws in your perfect alibi.
"It's exactly the same as the plot in detective novels. The murderer deliberately created a perfect alibi, and then the police knew clearly that the other party was a suspect, but they still had no choice but to let the murderer go." The white-haired boy looked at the photo, as if he was wondering.
Thinking of speaking.
But doesn’t the person in the photo look exactly like the person now?
"Is it possible for a person to develop color differences in one day?" he asked doubtfully.
Shinichi's brother's hands don't have any color difference at the moment.
Zhu Xing also spent a year in the sun abroad to get such a tan.
so……
Is this photo from a year ago?
If you think about it this way, it means that the other party has been preparing for a year to kill someone.
It's really amazing.
The uncle said that those who are patient are great people.
"What do you mean? What color difference? How can you show color difference after being exposed to the sun for a day?" Morohoshi Hideki asked.
Sweat suddenly broke out on Sei Nobuichi's forehead, and he subconsciously hid his hands behind his back.
"This photo has the same posture as this photo, but their hands are different. This wrist should be the hand wearing a watch. There is a color difference from other places, but there is no color difference in the hand above." The white-haired boy took it.
Compare two photos and point out the differences to others.
"It's impossible to post something like this in one day, so this photo was taken at least last year or more when he came to participate in the festival. He prepared for the murder for a long time and was very patient." The white-haired boy said calmly.
, and even some admiration.
"So that's it..." Morohoshi Hideki and others looked at the photo and suddenly realized.
"Stretch out your hands and show us." Four primary school students walked up to Sei Nobuichi and spoke proudly.
Their judgment was correct!
This guy is the murderer!
Sei Nobuichi's hands hidden behind his back began to tremble.
"Please cooperate with the investigation." Officer Henggou stepped forward and grabbed the other person's hand, and saw the skin color on the wrist that was very different from other parts.
"What does this mean? Do you have any evidence?" Shijing Nobuichi looked at the figures of the five elementary school students and said through gritted teeth.
"Imazaki was shot, I don't think I have a gun on me," he said confidently.
Officer Henggou let go of his hand.
The other person is right.
Even if the photo is from a year ago, it can only prove that the other party came to the festival a year ago and forged an alibi.
Even though everyone knows that he is the murderer, there is still a lack of key evidence.
"As for the murder weapon..." The white-haired boy looked at Shii Nobuichi.
Usually, hiding a murder weapon is similar to hiding a body. If you are on a mountain or in a forest, you will bury the body and the murder weapon in the ground.
But if we go to the mountains or forests to bury tools, the other party will not come to the festival venue at 8:40.
So another simpler way.
When I arrived, there seemed to be a river outside the hotel...
So was it thrown into the river? People often choose to throw the body into the water and tie it with stones so that the body will not float.
"Did he be thrown into the river outside?" the white-haired boy asked.
He saw Sei Nobuchi's heart beating rapidly.
"It seems true." So he nodded thoughtfully.
When a secret that you most want to hide is exposed, you will have this reaction of accelerated heartbeat.
"Go and retrieve evidence from the river outside." Officer Henggou ordered immediately.
"Yes!" Several police officers obeyed the order and ran out.
Shijing Xuanyi's face became very ugly.
"Those things under the water should have your fingerprints more or less, right? Fingerprints can't be washed away with water." Morohoshi Hideki said happily.
Sei Nobuchi's face turned even darker.
"Aren't you still going to plead guilty? Do you have to wait until the evidence is put in front of you before you are willing to plead guilty?" Officer Henggou asked.
"The story of Imtake winning the Naomoto Prize this year is actually a story we both thought about together when he and I were writing together before." Shii Nobuichi was silent for a long time before answering the question.
But everyone present knew that this passage meant that the other party had confessed.
And what he said was actually his motive for killing.
Mouri Kogoro and others looked at the back of Sei Nobuichi being taken away by the police with heavy expressions.
The Silver Bullet Detective Team, however, cheered loudly.
"That's great! Miyamoto! You are our ace!" Takizawa Shinya clenched his fist and said excitedly.
"Our judgment cannot be wrong." Jiang Shouhuang affirmed.
"The uncle who thought it was a robbery is really sorry for the title of the so-called famous detective. Uncle, did you make a mistake in your reasoning because you didn't sleep?" Hideki Morohoshi said provocatively towards Kogoro Mouri.
"Arrogant little devil——" Mouri Kogoro clenched his fist.
"Conan, Xiaolan, let's go." He snorted coldly and turned away.
"Aito, let's go first." Mao Lilan said goodbye to the white-haired boy.
"Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan." The white-haired boy waved to him.
"Come on Miyamoto, let's just clap this time." Kikukawa Seiichiro pulled Aito into the middle.
Tetsuya Aoyagi wisely only patted the five hands they extended.
A photo of five fists bumping together.
PS: The artist delayed my draft and said she would draw a complimentary picture for me, so I had no choice but to forgive her hahahahahahaha.
