Chapter 907 Detectives' Turtle Soup
When Nanatsuki Koshimizu said this, everyone present, including the TV crew who had nothing to do with the matter and were only there to film, looked at Junya Tokatsu with a very subtle look.
If originally, he could still condemn Nanatsuki Koshimizu's targeting, but once this sentence was thrown out, no one would blame her for her attack.
After experiencing such a serious injustice, Nanatsuki Koshimizu saw that Junya Tokatsu could still control his emotions. Considering her personality and age, it was already a rare spiritual skill.
Seeing that Tokizu Junya subconsciously avoided her gaze, Nanatsuki Koshimizu retracted her gaze and changed the subject: "However, the real case is not as shocking as I just said. The maid did try to commit suicide because of the detective, but was rescued by a kind person. She didn't die, so the following things are not true. I said this because she was determined to commit suicide, and it was a lucky accident that she was rescued. I don't want anyone to regard this fluke as inevitable. It's not okay to not value life like this."
After letting out a breath of anger, she temporarily stopped staring at Tokizu Junya and returned to her original playful state, put her sunglasses back on her face, and lay back in the chair.
Tokizu Junya, who was constantly thinking about it, was stunned, and the guilt on his face dissipated a little.
He didn't pay attention to the follow-up of the case, or rather, he had noticed something wrong during the investigation, and he probably knew in his heart that he had indeed failed in this case. Not to mention paying attention to the follow-up, he would even deliberately avoid that place when he went out, so as not to be recognized by the local police and cause his dark history to be discovered.
Just now, Nanatsuki Koshimizu spoke in such an angry tone that he thought he had really killed someone. Now that he heard that there was an exaggeration, his expression immediately relaxed a lot.
After thinking about it, this was in front of the camera, and he didn't want to appear too weak, and Tokatsu Junya, who looked too embarrassed in the camera, whispered back: "A person who commits suicide, doesn't he value life less..."
Before he finished whispering, Nanatsuki Koshimizu slammed the cup in his hand heavily on the table with a "bang".
"If she could survive, if she could see hope, why would a girl who had found a way to make a living and had lived a stable life for several years want to commit suicide?" She sneered, "Who is responsible?"
Tokatsu Junya didn't dare to speak anymore. She wanted to make a few more ridicules to see his expression, but in the end she just shook her head and gave up.
If such a person could understand what empathy is, he shouldn't have grown up to be the ghost he is now. It's really her problem to try to discuss with such a hopeless guy who only has himself in his mind.
The atmosphere at the scene was very stiff, and several people exchanged glances.
Tang Ze put down the cup that he had almost drunk, and he actually admired her current state.
Although the variety show may not edit the current confrontation into the main film, it is unknown what form this show will be released in. It is courageous enough for Nanatsuki Koshimizu to express dissatisfaction so bluntly in front of so many cameras.
"Well, Miss Koshimizu has finished speaking. Then, according to the order of speaking just now, it's Hattori-kun's turn next." Hakuba cleared his throat and tried to liven up the atmosphere again.
How well the program is done, should I say it? This production team is quite generous with the money, and he doesn't need to spoil it at this time.
"Me?" Hattori Heiji scratched his hair twice and thought for a while, "Well, since Miss Koshimizu gave a very educational example, I'll also tell a similar one. The topic is like this, Mr. A is a mystery fan and likes to read detective novels. One day, he went to the library to read the popular detective novels as usual, but found a note in the book, which said, 'Save me'..."
"This beginning sounds like a mystery novel." Conan commented pertinently.
"So this is the title?" Hakuba touched his chin, "The request for help found in the library?"
"No, three days later, Mr. A's body was found in the suburbs." Hattori Heiji glanced at the two of them, his eyes unfathomable, "The title is, how did he die?"
This turn is completely different from the atmosphere that had been created for half a day before, and both detectives couldn't help but choke.
"It is indeed a mystery novel, but the murderer was written on the first page with a red pen, or the plot in the middle was torn off." Tang Ze sighed, "I actually feel a little pity. Can't you tell the story along the beginning?"
"Because this is not a story, this is a real case." Hattori Heiji shook his head unhappily, not wanting to pay attention to these people, and cast his eyes on Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
Just when she was in charge of the title, Hattori Heiji was the first to speak. Now that someone else has changed, she is naturally the first.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was in a good mood because his anger was vented, gave face and thought for a while before opening the topic: "Since it is specifically said that Mr. A is a mystery fan, he must be interested in this kind of help or mystery. Did he find the owner of the note and was killed by the murderer when he wanted to help?"
"No." Hattori Heiji gave a negative answer.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu's reasoning was very reasonable, so reasonable that it was too ordinary. It was very suitable to appear in the plot, but it was a little thin when it appeared on a stage full of detectives. However, it was very appropriate as the beginning of this puzzle.
"It's not like this. It seems that it has to follow the initial situation." The white horse detective thought for half a second and asked from an angle, "Has he found the owner of the note?"
"Found it." Hattori Heiji nodded this time, "After all, he is a fan of mystery novels."
Fans of mystery novels do not represent a high-end intellectual group, but they are willing to read works that revolve around conspiracies or human nature. They are more patient and more willing to explore the unknown than those who like to read toilet paper light novels.
"Well, we found the owner of the note." Karasawa glanced in the direction of Koshimi Nanatsuki and changed the topic, "According to common sense, it seems that we should ask whether there is a murder behind the scenes and whether the owner of the note needs it. Help or something like that. But you just said that you think of this case because you think the case described by Miss Koshimizu is educational... Then, let me ask directly, is the owner of the note the murderer? "
This is another leaping guess, and once again, it is not deduced through the logic of the question, but it is analyzed from the perspective of human nature by using off-site factors...
I always feel that I feel a bit like Akechi Goro's detective style.
Hattori Heiji kept squinting at him and answered without hesitation: "Yes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone roughly understood Akechi Goro's way of thinking.
Mr. A noticed someone asking for help because of the note left in the book, and then tried to find the person who left the message for help. In the end, he died because of it. To put it nicely, it is easy to get into trouble if you are too enthusiastic and unprepared. , to put it harshly, this means that nosy people will die early.
To describe it another way, it should look like an anti-fraud case.
Conan habitually raised his hand as if thinking, and his eyes swept over the faces of the people present one by one, thoughtfully.
Hattori came up with such a story for no reason. This label for a mystery novel lover sounds quite harsh.
Could this guy have just lost face by them, so he wanted to complain in a different way?
With this kind of doubt, and with the intention of not letting Tokijin Junya open his mouth to talk awkwardly, Conan made a series of smooth reasonings as soon as he opened his mouth.
"'Popular detective novels', this description is unusual. If it had nothing to do with the case, you wouldn't mention it specifically. If there is any difference between popular detective novels and other detective novels, it is that except Most people who really like reasoning are just general Readers who read it will only look at classic old works, such as Agatha and Conan Doyle, and will not pay attention to current trends. Since the person who left the note is the murderer, he must have done this for his own sake. Pass the note to Mr. A accurately. Then I have a bold guess."
Conan looked back at Hattori Heiji, raised his eyebrows, and there was another kind of unpredictability in his eyebrows: "The murderer is using this method to deliberately attract the attention of people like Mr. A who like reasoning. As long as he creates suspicion and creates If he gives the illusion that he is really troubled by the incident, the victim will accompany him unprepared and go to many places alone. In such places, the difficulty of killing without being discovered is definitely lower than in downtown areas.”
Hattori Heiji snapped his fingers, pointed at him and announced: "Exactly! It's not a very complicated story, I just want to explain one thing, that is, reasoning enthusiasts who are too curious can easily be taken advantage of. Since everyone here is also We are all fans of reasoning, so be careful.”
Only then did I deeply understand the meaning of Hattori Heiji's look at the beginning. It took some effort for Hakuba to control his manners.
I just don’t want to be said like that by you, as if you don’t like to meddle in other people’s business.
People who don't like to meddle in other people's business, who only silently take a detour when seeing people watching on the street, and whose first reaction when hearing screams is that they are in danger or trouble and have to run away, can't possibly become a detective, okay?
"Okay, this is a case I encountered in Osaka. In fact, it just disappeared and died in a remote place. Although it is difficult to detect, the nature of the case is usually just an ordinary homicide. This case will find me specially to help , because this is a serial murder case." Hattori Heiji spread his hands and learned to cross the water. Tsuki just described the case he had experienced, "Except for the similarities in killing methods, the police have been unable to narrow down the scope of suspects through the source of the corpses. The ages, genders, jobs, income levels, etc. of the deceased were all different. It’s so different, there’s no reason why they became victims.”
There is no such thing as completely random killing, and people are not emotionless AI and can live by random numbers.
Even if it is a random killing, you must know that murder itself is an act containing strong emotions. If the murderer did not have strong impulses, emotional and personality problems, he would not choose such a drastic method. Therefore, serial murderers who kill randomly are also They have their own criteria for selecting prey.
Even if there is no subjective idea, limited by the way to find and contact the victims, in short, once there are more victims, the commonalities in them will easily reflect certain characteristics of the murderer.
"After I started participating in the investigation, I spent some time and finally found out what they have in common. They are all hard-core fans of detective novels. They subscribe to mystery-related magazines, visit mystery-related forums and communities, and also I like to go to bookstores or libraries to read the latest detective novels. Soon, I discovered this 'note trap'."
Hattori Heiji described the truth of the case in the order in which he solved it. Speaking of this, he showed a slightly nostalgic smile.
"I pretended to be attracted by the note and followed the clues left by the murderer to find her. She made up a story and realized that she seemed to be being watched. She went to the police for help but could not get help because of insufficient evidence. , so she had to send out a help message like this, and then asked me to accompany her to see what was wrong. Something powerful, help her find the truth, protect her safety, etc... Well, it is quite rare for a young lady to like to use such a big machete. The last words are also impressive, she said, 'You guys who think you are the smartest reasoning madmen in the world are so easy to fool' and so on..."
The confrontation between the detective and the real murderer is often a mental one, and there are not many opportunities for such a straightforward bayonet fight like this one.
The expression on Conan's face fell: "So, weren't you also attacked by her? How dare you say that you have been unswervingly doubting her during this process, 'Hattori-nii'?"
The taunting they made was as if it was true. When it was his turn to bite the hook faster than anyone else, how could he still dare to educate them?
"Ah, I have to admit, there are indeed a lot of shakes." Hattori Heiji said honestly, "I can't help it. The murderer looks at Wenwen as weak and it's really hard to make people wary. She has already used this method to fish and then kill I have harassed several people, and the fictional stalker has become very mature. Halfway through, I thought that she was really being harassed, but the stalker was too She was crazy and killed many people who wanted to help her. She was also a very smart lady. When she realized that I might know about other murders, she also performed an emotional breakdown drama and said that she had been full of confidence before. The people who said they could save me, but in the end they all disappeared one by one. They were worried that something would happen to me too, and begged me not to continue the investigation or anything like that... and it hurt He Ye..."
He Ye was so angry watching the performance of this bloody idol drama that he almost crushed the "bad man and woman" singing in front of him to death with one hand.
Tang Ze, who was obviously just listening to a story, felt like he had been hit somewhere: "..."
