Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 241 Operation Demonstration

The other one is of course Toya Eiko. As the murderer, she knew too well what this was and was stunned.

"Don't you understand, Officer Megure? Actually, everyone is stuck in a misconception. We found the body on the 8th floor, so we naturally concluded that Miss Taniguchi was murdered there."

Fujiwara Hiroshi explained.

"Ah!? Isn't it on the 8th floor?" Inspector Megure asked with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Of course not, but that's the cleverness of the murderer's scheme. He exploited everyone's subconscious thinking. When we saw the body on the 8th floor, we naturally thought so.

In fact, once you fall into such a misunderstanding, you will completely fall into the murderer's trap, because we know that there are only two ways to reach the 8th floor.

One way is to take the elevator. There are only two elevators that can reach the 8th floor. One is the one used by the victim, and the other one was idle at the time of the incident. We did not see anyone using it.

The other possibility is the escape stairs, so this is why the murderer left obvious footprints on the ground. The purpose was to lead everyone to the escape stairs, just like the logic of a robber breaking into an empty house.

This also overlooks another person, the most suspicious person, Ms. Toya Eiko, who is out of sight and has a bad relationship with Ms. Taniguchi Mika.

This time, Fujiwara Hiroshi pointed his finger directly at Toya Eiko and said.

“But, brother Fujiwara, although Miss Eiko and Miss Taniguchi have a bad relationship, she is on the 15th floor. How can we get to the 8th floor?

And she returned to the first floor in a very short time to seek help from Mr. Jiang Tian. No matter how you look at it, she didn't have time to commit the crime, right?"

Kogoro Mouri is indeed a good friend of the suspect. Toya Eiko has turned pale and is unable to refute him. She no longer has the arrogance she had before.

She was shouting before that it was Fujiwara Hiroshi who was slandering her, but now it has become quiet and silent. Kogoro Mori still can't see the reality and wants to defend Toya Eiko.

"Still don't you understand? Brother Maori, and Officer Megure, didn't I just give the best demonstration?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi still gave some hints.

"Just now, could it be that..." Xiaolan seemed to be the first to react and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"That's right, it seems Xiaolan has figured it out. I just used Officer Megure's phone to notify Officer Takagi to come up, and that was the method the murderer used.

Come and see, there are traces of tape around the elevator button. We are also using tape to restore this area."

Fujiwara Hiroshi led everyone to check the button of the middle elevator, and sure enough, they saw traces of tape around the button.

Fujiwara Hiroshi directly took out a button and put tape on it, avoiding the original traces, and used this method to keep the button pressed.

"Officer Takagi is already on his way up the elevator, so the method is actually very simple: the victim took the elevator to the 15th floor by himself.

This perfectly solves the problem of the murderer not being able to go to the 8th floor. In fact, there are two ways for Ms. Toya and Ms. Taniguchi to meet.

一种是户屋小姐从15楼下到8楼,另外一种就是谷口小姐从8楼上到15楼,只不过最后电梯停留在了8楼。

Everyone subconsciously ignored the fact that Ms. Taniguchi had been to the 15th floor, and assumed that Ms. Taniguchi had encountered an accident directly from the 1st floor to the 8th floor. This is a common misunderstanding.

Fujiwara Hiroshi continued to describe.

"But this extreme situation is theoretically possible, but isn't it more likely that they would be killed by the criminals after reaching the 8th floor?"

Xiaolan also joined in the discussion. She really couldn't imagine that Toya Eiko would do such a thing.

"It's very simple. Of course, the situation at the scene told me. If the incident is really as Maori brother deduced, that it is a case of robbery and murder.

Then the direction in which Miss Taniguchi's body fell should be towards the inside of the elevator, not from the inside to the outside as we see now.

The second point is the deliberate footprints at the elevator door. These footprints, which are intended to cover up the truth, completely expose the stupidity of the criminal and the illusion that it is not a robbery and murder.

No robber or thief would leave such deep and heavy footprints. This kind of deliberate stepping with force may fool ordinary people, but it will never fool a forensic examiner.

Secondly, the footprints left when the person escaped after killing the person were the same distance apart as the footprints left when he came in. He retreated in an orderly and leisurely manner.

This is a completely impossible behavior, which is why I said that the things set up by the murderer and his actual psychology are inconsistent.

A robber who was frightened by Miss Taniguchi's sudden appearance on the 8th floor and accidentally killed someone should have been panicked and fled the scene in a hurry, which is consistent with his behavioral logic.

It is absolutely impossible to leave the scene as leisurely as if strolling in your own backyard, and to leave so calmly and steadily without any disturbance.

Fujiwara Hiroshi once again put forward a portrait of the murderer, and the inconsistencies were pointed out one by one.

"Sha..." After listening to Fujiwara Hiroshi's analysis, everyone didn't expect that they had overlooked so much information. They also watched the scene, so why couldn't we see it, while Fujiwara Hiroshi could analyze so many things.

"So I said, the murderer this time is a rookie, who has received some advanced education and has a sense of counter-detection. He knows how to set up obstacles and mislead the police investigation.

It's just a pity that I failed to imitate the original, and my plan, which was full of loopholes and inconsistencies, ultimately exposed me to the detective's sight."

Fujiwara Hiroshi continued.

There was a sound of "Ding Dong", and Officer Takagi took the elevator from the 8th floor to the 15th floor.

"Well, let me reconstruct the incident for everyone."

After saying that, Fujiwara Hiroshi took out a pen to replace the murderer's knife. The moment the door opened, he stabbed the dummy in the elevator with the pen.

"That's it, a surprise attack, killing the person in the elevator before they could react.

Then he quickly went around behind the other person and caught him, and then kept him in a sitting position, because he had previously used a button mechanism to keep the elevator door open.

So there is no need to worry about the elevator door closing during this process. After preparing all this, press the button for the 8th floor in the elevator and let the elevator take you back to the 8th floor.

Finally, all we need to do is tear off the outer buttons and leave the body leaning against the door as we return to the 8th floor."

Fujiwara Hiroshi gave everyone a vivid performance by both speaking and demonstrating.
