Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 607 Hattori Heiji and Conan’s reasoning



Conan and Hattori Heiji work together to re-enact the mystery of Uchito Shoji's disappearance eight years ago.

Hattori Heiji is now hiding.

Conan said to everyone: "Brother Heiji is hiding in the closet. Let's go look for him."

"Isn't it easy to find someone hiding in a closet? A target as big as Heiji can be found at a glance when the closet is opened."

Yuan Shan and Ye were the first to bear the brunt. They walked to the closet and opened the closet door.

"Empty? Is it hidden in the drawer below? It's unlikely. Heiji doesn't seem to be practicing any mysterious Eastern Kung Fu like Bone Shrinking Technique, right?"

Yuan Shan and Ye also opened the lower two drawers, and sure enough, there were none.

Toyama and Ye looked at Conan dissatisfied: "Little devil, Heiji is clearly not hiding in the closet, how do you say he is in the closet?"

Mao Lilan also echoed: "Yes, Conan, the wardrobe is so big, you can tell whether Hattori is in it at a glance, right?"

Conan smiled mysteriously: "As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, which means that the closer something is in front of you, the harder it is to detect it! Then let me reveal the answer to everyone!"

"First, pull out the upper and lower drawers, then take out the middle partition, and then... Heiji-nii is placed on the cart!"

Conan pulled the cart out, and Hattori Heiji suddenly curled up on the cart.

Everyone was shocked.

"No way?!"

"It's no different from magic!"

...

After getting up from the cart, Hattori Heiji explained: "The key to magic lies in the partitions and upper drawers of the wardrobe. You see, there is a gap dug on them that is large enough to accommodate the human body, right? As long as you use this mechanism, you can put a The whole thing is hidden in the drawer of the wardrobe."

Toyama and Ye were confused: "But didn't you notice this when Heiji investigated and opened the drawer at the beginning?"

Hattori Heiji replied: "At that time, I thought the drawer was a bit heavy, but the body was placed on the cart and the weight was dispersed by the partition in the middle, so it was not discovered."

Mao Lilan was puzzled: "But even if you put it on the cart, when you open the drawer, the cart will still slide out, right?"

Hattori Heiji pointed at the drawer and said: "Look, no matter which drawer you have, there is no back panel inside, right? There is also a mechanism that can embed the middle partition from above and fix it. In this way, even if you pull it out, When the drawer is opened, the middle partition will also act as a brake to prevent the cart from sliding out.”

Neidong Cheren asked: "But what does this organization have to do with my brother?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Tetsuto Uchito and said, "Because your brother made these mechanisms eight years ago!"

Baisho Orie asked quickly: "Then the president disappeared from this room back then..."

Hattori Heiji nodded and said: "Yes, he used this mechanism to hide in the closet and make you think he disappeared. Mr. Chengji hid in the closet back then. Yes, Mr. Chengji's body was found sitting with his knees crossed. His posture is proof that he was unable to escape from the closet and starved to death!"

Tetsuto Naito asked excitedly: "Then my brother died because he couldn't escape from the closet alone?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head and said: "No! As long as you reach out and push out the upper drawer and remove the partition, I think even one person can escape."

"Then why?"

"Maybe there's no way to push the drawer out."

Baisho Orie seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed greatly: "Wait, wait a minute, could it be because eight years ago, Harawaki, Kyoko, and I moved the wardrobe in order to find the president in this room, so Will the president be unable to push the drawer out?"

Ninomiya Masahachi said in surprise: "The fact that Harawaki and Kyoko were killed one after another means..."

Ninomiya Masahachi and Baisho Orie looked at Tetsuto Naito at the same time: "Could the murderer be the president's brother?"

"No, I just..."

Naito Tetsuto was completely confused. Why did he suddenly become the murderer?

Hattori Heiji continued: "Although that was also one of the causes of his death, the problem is not there. Why did Mr. Chengji, who was trapped in the closet and starved to death, sit down when you all came to see him four days later? Where is it outside?"

Police officer Yamamura asked very flatteringly: "Why?"

Hattori Heiji said seriously: "That's because someone has known about Mr. Chengji hiding in the closet for a long time. That's right, Ms. Ria Kawabata, the actress! It was you who killed Mr. Harawaki and Ms. Kyoko!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Kawabata Riya with sharp eyes.

And Kamiya Minazuki's eyes narrowed slightly, now it was up to Kawabata Ria's mental quality to pass.

Hattori Heiji reasoned: "First, during your break, you went to Mr. Harawaki's room, and then tricked him into drinking water mixed with poison, killing him. Then, you wrote the subtitle you saw on the roll of paper as The suicide note was entered into Mr. Harawaki’s cell phone.

Then use the tablet to play the image of Mr. Harawaki taken eight years ago and record it with his mobile phone.

Put the phone upside down and let Mr. Harawaki's body hold it, and then return to the filming scene. This is your first crime!

If you stopped here, Mr. Harawaki's death would most likely be a suicide, but your plan was discovered by Miss Kyoko.

Ms. Kyoko said, "If you know the whereabouts of those video files, you might be able to unexpectedly solve the mystery of Harawaki's suicide." Obviously, Ms. Kyoko would not say such things for no reason. She must know the truth.

As a last resort, you had to take advantage of everyone to take refuge on the second floor because of the zombie commotion, trick Miss Kyoko into an empty room, torture Miss Kyoko to extract a confession, forcing her to tell where the video file was eight years ago, and then Burn her and kill her.

At the same time, maybe because you were worried that the wardrobe mechanism was exposed six months ago, you burned the wardrobe while everyone was putting out the fire, trying to cover up the truth! "

Neidong Tetsuto asked doubtfully: "But, even if it wasn't her, someone else could have done the technique just now, right?"

Conan said: "Didn't Miss Orie say that? Eight years ago, when Miss Lea and Miss Kyoko went to the second floor to find Mr. Chengji, Miss Lea's screams were heard after a while. When everyone rushed over, When I arrived, I only saw Miss Kyoko standing behind Miss Lea, who was so frightened that her legs were weak.

Heiji brother figured out from this point that the room was located next to the stairs. Among the two people, one of them should come to this room first, but it was really strange that the screams were heard after a while.

Since Miss Kyoko was standing behind Miss Lea, it should have been Miss Lea who pretended to be frightened after taking the body out of the closet, right? "

After some reasoning between Hattori Heiji and Conan, Kamiya Minatsuki was really convinced by the two high school detective kid in front of him.

The brain is really good, and it can deduce the truth of the facts, but so what?

Kamiya Minatsuki looked at Kawabata Riya, and the corners of his mouth curved.

Riya Kawabata's current expression was one of disbelief and horror.

It's obvious that Ria Kawabata has entered the drama, so he doesn't need to worry too much next.
