Chapter 3759 Death Eight Years Ago
Chapter 3764 Death Eight Years Ago
"No, it should be Mr. Harawaki who took the poison himself. There is a cell phone video as evidence," Hattori Heiji focused on the incident that just happened. He did not notice the solemnity in Conan's eyes. He explained to others, "When Conan and I found Mr. Harawaki's body, he was holding a cell phone in his hand. The cell phone was recording at the time. We checked the cell phone later. The video recorded the whole process from his taking the poison to his death..."
"Can you show us that video?" Uchito Tetsuto asked proactively.
Conan calmed down and took out the cell phone wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket. "Do you want to connect it to the director's monitor to watch?"
Compared to the cell phone screen, the monitor used by the director has a larger screen and it is more convenient to watch the video.
Uchito Tetsuto quickly connected the cell phone to the monitor and played the video in the cell phone on the monitor.
The video was shot at a very low angle. It seemed that Harawaki Takashi put the cell phone on the ground and propped it up with a cigarette box. At the same time, he set a timer on the cell phone to start the cell phone recording function at a specified time.
In the video, Harawaki Takashi first stood alone at the table with his back to the camera, opened the bottle marked with potassium cyanate, poured the liquid in the bottle into the PET bottle filled with water, and then looked at the camera sideways, then drank the poisoned water in the PET bottle, and soon showed a painful look, and the PET bottle and the bottle of potassium cyanate in his hand also fell to the ground.
Then, Harawaki Takashi staggered back two steps, lost his balance, and fell in front of the mobile phone that was filming. He looked at the camera of the mobile phone with a painful face, stretched out his hand with difficulty, and grabbed the mobile phone in his hand.
After the mobile phone was put down, the screen of the shooting went black.
After that, the mobile phone was in a black screen recording state.
After about fifty minutes, the video recorded the voices of Hattori Heiji and Conan.
"Hey, are you okay?"
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Conan's serious and heavy voice followed.
"Damn, he's not breathing anymore!"
"Huh?" Ran Mao Li looked at Conan next to her in surprise, "Was that Conan's voice just now? It sounded like Shinichi!"
Conan sweated and quickly turned his brain to find an excuse for himself, "That..."
"He was imitating me!" Hattori Heiji smiled and squatted down, putting his hand on Conan's head, "Maybe it's because we encounter cases all day long, so he started to learn my tone!"
Hatori Heiji looked at Conan with some pride and said, "It seems that this kid has always admired me!"
When Conan thought about Hattori Heiji's trick tonight, he didn't want to cooperate with Hattori Heiji. He stared at Hattori Heiji with an unhappy face and said, "No, in fact, I admire Brother Chi and Uncle Kogoro more. That sentence was also imitated Uncle Kogoro..."
Hatori Heiji: "?"
Hey, forget about Brother Feichi, why did Kudo put that confused uncle in front of him?
In order to anger him, Kudo was really desperate, but he was helping Kudo out now, and this guy was unwilling to cooperate with him to make him happy...
Mouri Ran thought that Maori Kogoro did say something similar, and she no longer doubted Conan. Seeing Hattori Heiji's face turned sour, she hurriedly smiled, "But no matter what, Hattori is also a very good detective!"
Hattori Heiji couldn't be happy. He looked at Conan with a face full of resentment and whispered, "You stinky kid, I'm helping you..."
Conan stared at Hattori Heiji with even more resentment, and whispered in the same way, "What are you talking about? What did you say before? The Toudou High School student detective is the familiar Kudo Shinichi. Brother Chi stared at me for a long time, and I was worried that he would start to suspect me."
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment. Being stared at by Conan, he suddenly felt guilty. He laughed dryly and whispered, "Brother Fei Chi is so good. If you are really found out, you might as well confess..."
"No, absolutely Don't let Brother Chi know," Conan interrupted seriously, using the previous excuse, "Brother Chi is very powerful, but his mental state is an unstable factor, and he had hallucinations not long ago, and the situation is still not good. "
"Is that so..." Hattori Heiji was worried about Chi Feichi, "Is he okay?"
"He seems to be much better recently," Conan whispered to Hattori Heiji seriously, "Anyway, you should be more careful next time, don't make me suspected again!"
"Don't worry, I will pay attention!" Hattori Heiji smiled guiltily and rubbed Conan's hair, stood up, and saw Chi Feichi silently watching him and Conan, sweating, pretending to be nothing, walked to the monitor, borrowed a pair of cotton gloves from Uchito Tetsuto, and picked up Harawaki Takashi's mobile phone, "By the way, I also found a piece of uncomfortable text like a suicide note in the memo of this mobile phone..."
"Uncomfortable?" Ejiri Kyoko looked at Hattori Heiji in confusion.
Hattori Heiji pulled out the memo on his phone, looked at the words in the memo, and read aloud, "To my old friend Uchito Joji: This poison will stop my heart from beating, and I will become a dead person in the secular sense, but my soul will still remain in my body and will have unlimited time. When I succeed, it will be like the movie "Funeral Procession of the Dead", bringing all the living people in this house into our world... That's the content."
"Funeral Procession of the Dead?"
The rest of the crew was a little surprised.
Hattori Heiji took out a torn letter from his pocket, "There is an envelope in Mr. Harawaki's pants pocket, and there is a note with the words "Funeral Procession" written on it. I think this should be the subtitle of the movie that Mr. Harawaki said before and was going to announce at dinner."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki confirmed with the crew, "Is the subtitle of the movie always decided by Mr. Harawaki?"
"Yes, he said that this is his job as a producer," Uchito Tetsuto affirmed, "When we worked together before, he always decided the subtitle of the movie alone. He would write the subtitle on paper and put it in an envelope every time. When the time came, he would open the envelope in front of other staff members and announce the subtitle."
Kawabata Riya looked at Ninomiya Masahachi, "Once, Ninomiya accidentally opened the envelope, which made Harawaki furious, and then Harawaki insisted on Changed the subtitle of the movie that was originally decided..."
"In this case, the text in the phone should be left by Mr. Harawaki himself," Hattori Heiji picked up the envelope and looked at the light on the ceiling, "When Conan and I found this letter, it had not been opened, and the envelope had no signs of damage or soaking, and the envelope was very thick, and the note inside could not be seen against the light, so, except for Mr. Harawaki himself, no one should know that the subtitle Mr. Harawaki proposed was "Funeral Procession of the Dead", and naturally there was no way to accurately leave this subtitle in the message on the mobile phone memo..."
Hatori Heiji put down the envelope, turned his head and smiled at Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, my reasoning should be correct, right?"
Conan: "..."
Please...collect_()
You are too deliberate in chatting, Hattori!
Chi Feichi nodded to Hattori Heiji without commenting too much.
Hattori Heiji didn't care whether Chi Feichi responded enthusiastically or not, and quickly looked at the crew members, "In fact, I care more about the Uchito Joji mentioned at the beginning of the memo message. Could it be Director Uchito's..."
"Yes, he is my deceased brother, and he was also the director of the horror film research department when they were in college," Uchito Tetsuto looked at the others and frowned, "Because my brother died so strangely at the time, I wonder if Harawaki was affected by that incident? However, I also heard about the circumstances before and after my brother's death from them!"
"What kind of death was it?"
Under Hattori Heiji's questioning, the other people in the crew talked about Uchito Joji's death.
Eight years ago, Harawaki Takashi, Kawabata Ria, Ejiri Kyoko, Baisho Orie, and Ninomiya Masahachi were still in college. For the university campus festival, the five people and Uchito Joji, the director of the horror film research department, came to this villa to prepare to shoot a horror movie that they wrote, directed, and acted in. For this purpose, Uchito Joji also borrowed shooting tools from his brother who was already a director.
During the filming of the movie, Uchito Joji suddenly changed his mind and wanted to change the horror movie into a suspense movie, and change the ghost killing into someone using conspiracy to kill. He also said that he had thought of the key method of the murderer. If others did not trust him, he could perform that method on the spot and disappear from the room they were in.
In the past, Uchito Joji often said some crazy and absurd things, but Uchito Joji could always convince others. That time was the same. Others were quickly convinced by Uchito Joji.
According to Uchito Joji's instructions, Kawabata Riya and Ninomiya Masahachi went outside the villa and stared at the window of the room on the second floor, while Harawaki Takashi, Baisho Orie, and Ejiri Kyoko guarded the door of the room, leaving Uchito Joji alone in the room.
Uchito Joji asked the five people to wait for ten minutes before returning to the room. After ten minutes, the five people returned to the room and were surprised to find that Uchito Joji was gone.
The five people had clearly monitored all the windows and doors of the room in advance, and no one saw Uchito Joji leave the room, but Uchito Joji just disappeared in the room so magically. The five people searched the closet and under the bed in the room, and even moved the closet away to look for him, but they couldn't find Uchito Joji.
The five people suspected that Uchito Joji had sneaked into the nearby forest when someone was not paying attention, and they also went to the forest to look for him, but the five people shouted until their voices were hoarse and still couldn't find Uchito Joji. Then, Harawaki Takashi drove the other four people away from here and went to the izakaya at the foot of the mountain to drink together.
After that, Kawabata Riya caught a cold and rested at home for three days. The others also accompanied Kawabata Riya and stayed at Kawabata Riya's house for three days.
Although they said they were taking care of Kawabata Riya, the other four were drinking and watching horror movies at Kawabata Riya's house. Harawaki Takashi, the only one who could drive, was drunk every day, so during those three days, the five people never returned here to check.
Four days later, in the morning, Kawabata Riya's cold was completely cured, and the five people returned to the villa, and then they saw Uchito Joji who starved to death in the room.
At that time, Uchito Joji's body was sitting on the floor with his knees bent, his back against the bed, facing the door of the room, and his head slightly tilted, as if saying to his companions at the door: "You finally found me."
The five people were scared, and after finally recovering, they quickly called the police.
According to the police investigation, Neidong Chengzhi died half a day ago, and the cause of death was starvation and thirst, but the strange thing is that the doors and windows in the room were not locked, and Neidong Chengzhi should have been able to walk out by himself, and he would not have starved to death in the room. In addition, Neidong Chengzhi's ten fingers were bloody and fleshy, and he should have scratched something frantically before his death, but the police did not find any traces of scratching by Neidong Chengzhi in the room.
In this way, Neidong Chengzhi's death has become an extremely strange mystery that has not been solved to this day.
