Healing Vest Essence

"Just take down your jade pendant, spray it with luminol reagent for the police, and test it to find out." [Edogawa Ranpo] licked his slightly cracked and slightly white lips, and again He couldn't help coughing a few times before continuing.

The emerald green pupils are moist and bright, like precious green opals, at this moment, staring at the middle-aged man in front of him without moving: "How about it, dare you, you will never admit that you are a murderer— — Uncle Murderer?”

At the beginning, I still felt that [Edogawa Ranpo] was messing around. It was only because the other party was my colleague that I reluctantly kicked him out. Let’s listen to the police department who [Edogawa Ranpo] reasoned for a while. , act now.

"Please take off the jade pendant so that we can do a luminol reaction test. If there is a reaction, we will need to temporarily borrow your jade pendant for DNA extraction."

With a serious and cold face, the male police department took the evidence seal bag from a police officer in charge of investigation and evidence collection, stretched out his right hand wearing a white plastic glove and said.

Shigeru Miyamoto couldn't evade it under the eyes of everyone, so he took off the koi jade pendant with trembling hands and handed it to the police department.

The policeman went to the storage room on the side, turned off the lights, and with the spraying of the luminol reagent, the koi jade pendant emitted a faint blue-white light in this dim environment.

"Sure enough, there is a blood reaction on the jade pendant." The police department said coldly, everyone was surprised, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable because of their bodies. After saying that, they stood and leaned against the pillars in the hall to rest. step】.

Sure enough, this person has a very strong reasoning ability.

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Gu Ling's eyes.

Miyamoto Shigeruji, who has exposed most of the incident, has obviously been seriously shaken, and just wants to find something else quickly to "prove" his "innocence", but anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong with him, as well as his words Pale and feeble: "This, this...even if my jade pendant has the boss's blood on it, so what!"

"I admit, I went to his living room long before you found his body, but at that time Haiyinji Sawao was already dead!" Miyamoto Shigeru tried hard to recall his plan, and refused to let go The hope of getting rid of the crime finally reminded him of a point.

Shigeru Miyamoto was still stuttering at the beginning, but then he lied more and more smoothly: "I, I wanted to discuss things with the boss, but I opened his door, and when I walked in, I found that he was dead , Because I was too scared, I fell and fell on Haiyinsi Zenan, and my jade pendant was also stained with his blood at that time."

"Besides, Mr. Police, haven't you confirmed the time of his death? At that time, I was watching a movie in my room!"

"During the time when the crime happened, because the movie was too ugly and the logic was too confusing, I complained all the way through watching it, and the sound was so loud that it affected the guests next door."

"Miss Ryuzaki Nami, who lives in the room opposite to me, can be my alibi witness. Prove this." Shigeru Miyamoto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his kimono, and exhaled deeply. His tone became more and more firm - after all, in order for people to believe that he was not the murderer, he himself had to believe that he was innocent.

Ryuzaki Nami, who has a gentle temperament like Yamato Nadeko, nodded hesitantly. It is also her relatively weak and introverted temperament. She endured for a long time and did not go to knock on the other party's door to complain, but she was naturally extremely displeased. of.

At this time, the young woman's heart seemed to be choked by something, and she was disgusted to death. She never thought that she would testify to such a guy who was suspected of a crime and ninety percent of them were the murderer: "Ah, he was right... I did hear his voice at that time."

"Look, she said that I was in my room at the time!" Miyamoto Shigeruji showed ecstasy.

However, at the moment when everyone's expressions were dazed and even solemn, the scary guy who accused him of being the murderer still looked confident and proud.

"Hmph, is that so, Uncle Murderer—" [Edogawa Ranpo] elongated the ending, and said arrogantly to the extreme, "Don't worry, let me make you fall into despair bit by bit Among them, you will never be able to turn over."

"Killers have to pay a price, especially a guy like you who dares to play tricks in front of the police, go to hell for me." The black-haired young man's eyes were full of disgust for Shigeru Miyamoto.

[Edogawa Ranpo] Paused, the dryness and pain in the throat became more and more obvious, and at this time, a brown-skinned hand suddenly appeared beside him, holding a plastic cup filled with three quarters of water and handing it to he.

The black-haired young man with curled-up hair like a small tail looked up, and the blond-haired young man with blue-purple eyes smiled gently at him: "Now drink some water to moisten your throat."

"If you are sick, don't force yourself. We are still here. No matter what, we can catch him." Jiang Guling said seriously. He didn't want this young man who was clearly his own family and powerful Collapsed.

[Edogawa Ranpo] paused, lowered his eyes, seemed to be covering up something, blinked quickly, and muttered: "Nah, with my lord here, everything can be done in three minutes."

【Edogawa Ranpo】Took the cup, drank the warm cup with a "gululu", wiped his mouth, and the throat moistened by the rain was better than before: "Let's not Speaking of your clumsy excuse, the blood on the jade pendant after the fall, there is no trace of the second person falling at the scene."

"Let's just talk about your biggest reliance now, the so-called alibi." The young man with black hair and green eyes narrowed his eyes happily, like a proud black cat, cute and intelligent.

"Before that, my lord would like to ask you a question, what is the easter egg in the movie you watched?"

Whether it's [Edogawa Ranpo]'s strange oral habit, or the irrelevant question raised by the other party at this time, it makes people feel a little strange.

Shigeru Miyamoto felt the same way. For some reason, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart. This question was definitely a trap set by the other party, but he had no idea what was wrong with this easter egg in the movie.

Therefore, Shigeru Miyamoto could only stare at the other person's expression for a moment without wanting to miss it, and talked about the plot of the easter egg in the movie that he remembered: "As for the easter egg, the character of Bai Yueguang that the hero met in the temple for the first time when he was young , the young heroine?..."

[Edogawa Ranpo] Responding to his playful look, Shigeru Miyamoto changed his words in a panic.

"Ah, that, and in the book that the hostess gave to the host, the fifth word and the No. 13 word in line No.14 on page No.20 are spelled out in Roman accents, and the first letter is the host's name. Initials!"

Miyamoto Shigeruji then talked about several easter eggs in the movie, but [Edogawa Ranpo]'s expression all told him that the other party thought he was dead.

"I don't know what method you used to forge the alibi, but you were not in the room at the time." Ryuzaki Nami, who had been watching for a long time and was forced to act as a witness, couldn't help but said, her eyes were cold, telling What is Miyamoto Shigeruji's real easter egg——

"The Easter eggs you mentioned are all Easter eggs in that movie, but anyone who has used the videotapes or DVDs in this hostel to watch movies knows what the Easter eggs that belong to this hostel are. .”

Ryuzaki Nami's eyes sparkled with water: "The Easter egg they said at the first moment must be this, because the hotel owner recorded all the relevant information about his daughter who disappeared 15 years ago in the Inside, this touching missing person notice replaces the original easter egg part."

Shigeru Miyamoto was stunned on the spot for a long time, his lips were trembling, but he just couldn't speak.

Ruined.

His life is over.

This was the only thought in Miyamoto Shigeruji's mind.

[Edogawa Ranpo] nodded, straightened his waist, and said with a stern expression: "I didn't expect that, in the end, it was the girl who was killed by you back then, who caught you somewhere."

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

But the black-haired young man didn't explain the meaning of his words first, but complained about the forgery method of the alibi: "Your alibi is too crude, it can be seen through at a glance, and the error tolerance rate is extremely high. Low, if you hadn't figured out the character of the lady next door and knew that she would not come to complain, your forgery would have been exposed on the spot."

"You just turned on the TV, played the disc, and also played the audio that had been recorded a long time ago - you don't need to be precise to make complaints about minutes and seconds, anyway, the meaning of the words repeated over and over again is the same, it is nothing more than complaining about the relationship between the hero and the heroine. The emotional drama between the husband and wife by leaps and bounds, the messy conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and so on."

"And the other party can't hear where your movie is playing, and what you hear most clearly is your complaints, so there is no need to let your complaints match the movie." [Edogawa Ranpo] looked directly at Shigeru Miyamoto, and this The murderer had already collapsed, his eyes moved erratically, and he didn't look at him at all.

[Edogawa Ranpo] The voice gradually became low: "That's it, you forged your alibi, used the above method to reach the living room of the deceased, and killed the boss who was lying on the coffee table looking at his daughter's photo with his back to the window. die."

Miyamoto Shigeru finally admitted the fact that he killed himself with a smirk under the overwhelming evidence: "Oh, that's right, I killed him just as you said!"

"Why did you kill Mr. Kaiyinji?" Aoi Yamamoto, who was the receptionist of the hot spring hotel, couldn't accept it. "It's obvious that you didn't know him before and had no grievances. Why did you kill him!"

"Because 15 years ago, in the case of Saori's disappearance at Haiyin Temple, the young man the deceased uncle saw, that human trafficker, was him." Without waiting for Shigeru Miyamoto to speak, [Edogawa Ranpo] explained, "No , to be precise, it should be said to be the death case of Saori in Haiyin Temple."

Putting on the [Edogawa Ranpo] vest, Yazawa Haruto, who has extraordinary reasoning and analysis ability, accepts the information provided by the five senses.

Although the interior decoration of this hot spring hotel is in Japanese style, the equipment inside is not at all those electrical appliances that have been eliminated and outdated.

Refrigerator freezers, TVs, cash registers, microwave ovens and other equipment are all advancing with the times. Next to the sofa in the lobby, the magazines on the newspaper shelf are also the latest.

Only the newspaper, in order to ensure its integrity and cleanliness, uses plastic sealing technology.

That was a newspaper from 15 years ago—a newspaper that published information about the disappearance of Haiyinji Saori, a third-grade elementary school student. , I must thank you a lot of money.

It was such a father and daughter with a strong friendship who died at the hands of this scumbag.

[Edogawa Ranpo] Closed his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, like the flapping wings of a butterfly: "The reason why he had a conflict with that uncle boss was because that uncle told him—"

"'Have you met my daughter, I think you look familiar.'" Aoi Yamamoto murmured.

Finally, this petite and lovely woman couldn't help covering her mouth and sobbing: "But, that's what Mr. Haiyinsi would say to everyone who came to the hostel! He just wanted to know if there was any yarn weaving." It's just information!"

"That's it," Luanbu Maomao was also very sad, and his tone was no longer raised, "After all, he is a devil with a guilty conscience."

"He thought that the boss uncle recognized him and knew that he was the trafficker back then. He didn't know at all, but the uncle who just glanced at the young man's face, how could he remember him." 【Edogawa Ranpo】issued With a sigh, he kicked the bottom of the pillar on one side with his little leather shoe.

"However, it was this idea that made Haiyinji Saori, who was already precocious when she failed to be abducted, finally had no choice but to kill her who refused to cooperate and tried to escape. Planning to kill the boss uncle."

"How could this be..." Other emotional people were also shocked by this tragedy and felt sad.

Even if it is not someone who is obviously sentimental about this, there is a deep pain in my heart.

However, compared to this, Edogawa Conan and Furutani Rei were more shocked by [Edogawa Ranpo]'s ability.

However, within 10 minutes, the other party who did not walk into the scene of the crime solved the case with strong observation skills and imagination and analysis skills.

This person... who is it?

They can't help being curious.
