Conan’s Corpse Picker

Fuwa Narumi was covered in cold sweat.

But she was an experienced police officer after all, and she calmed down quickly - she had already destroyed the video and script, and what Jiang Xia said was just a reasoning after all.

Although Jiang Xia was present at the rehearsal and probably saw that page of the script, what the human eye sees cannot be considered solid physical evidence at all.

On the contrary, this murder of tenant 315 made Fuwa Narumi think of something. She sneered and said: "Have you forgotten that after midnight, room 315 will become a completely secret room, and the only secret is Dao was also found in Fumizuki Karin's room, and no one but her and Maya Hashimoto could be the murderer."

Jiang Xia glanced at her: "The premise is that it is a real secret room - I received your greeting card last night, went to the yard, and received your inducement to 'look towards the third floor' after midnight. At that time, all rooms It was dark, only one house was lit with red light, and the 'red-bearded Santa Claus' was standing by the window of the red room.

"Only one room in the entire hotel had red lights. In a hurry, we mistakenly thought that the 'red-bearded Santa Claus' was in room 315, so we worried about the tenants living there and rushed back."

When Miwako Sato heard this, she suddenly noticed something and blurted out: "'I mistakenly thought he was in Room 315'... Could it be that he was not actually in that room at the time? But I did see a figure by the window of Room 315. Moreover, the details of the shadow can be seen clearly, and it is not an illusion made of paper or something."

Jiang Xia sighed: "Room 315 is right in the middle of the corridor, and the floors here are very long. The surrounding houses were all dark at the time, and there was no reference. So our criterion for judging Room 315 was the red light there. .”

"But then I always felt something was wrong - that room seemed a little off..."

"A little off?" Suzuki Sonoko was about to rub her chin with sparks, but she still couldn't follow the detective's train of thought. She had to use her imagination, "Did the earthquake shake it off? But I didn't feel an earthquake yesterday... "

"The location is a little off," Jiang Xia said, "so the red room with the light on at that time was actually not room 315, but the room 314 next door - which happened to be a room that could not be breached by police."

The hotel manager was startled: "But the lights in the surveillance room are normal white lights."

Jiang Xia turned to look at Saburo Inozuka.

Saburo Inozuka looked at him for a moment, then slowly remembered that Jiang Xia seemed to have asked him to help with something when he came back here in the police car...

After thinking for a while, Saburo Inozuka finally remembered. He entered the props room and pressed the switch. Soon, the lights in the hall suddenly changed. From the normal white light, it turned into a bright red.

Jiang Xia was not very satisfied with the reaction speed of this small vodka, but when he remembered that the speed of the original version was just that, he immediately stopped caring about such trivial matters.

Jiang Xia: “Just like stage lights can use red baffles to create the effects of fire and sunset – putting red transparent plastic on ordinary room lights can also create a similar effect.

"Last night, Fuwa Police took advantage of Fumizuki Karen's departure and sneaked into her room. Then they arrived at Room 315 through a secret passage. They attacked Mr. Kurosawa who was alone in the room and took away the video tape in his hand that could be used as evidence of crime. .

"Then you continued to lurk in the room and attacked poor Mr. Hashimoto again. It was not yet 12 o'clock, and the key card on Mr. Hashimoto's body was still usable. So you searched for the key card and locked their room. opened the door and returned to his room.

"You put a red film on the light in your room, and you called me after the zero o'clock sound, so that we could see the 'red-bearded Santa Claus' standing in the red room.

"This will not only get rid of the witnesses who accidentally witnessed your crime, but also pass the 'secret room' to frame the blame on Miss Hualien."

Fuwa Narumi felt a chill running down her back. Although she had heard of the name of this Tokyo detective, she did not expect that he could actually reason things out to this extent.

"Very interesting reasoning." She organized it into words:

"But compared to these fancy operations, isn't there another kind of reasoning that is simpler - the murderer is Wenyue Hualien himself who can pass through the secret passage.

"The so-called 'feeling that the room is biased' is just your illusion, and using lights to change the color of the room is just your weird association! Don't forget, the last victim had Wenyue Hualien's DNA in her fingernails. This is her crime irrefutable evidence.”

Jiang Xia touched his chin and felt that he had rarely encountered such a tenacious murderer recently: "DNA identification can indeed be an ironclad evidence to identify the murderer, but there is one exception. The DNA of identical twins is exactly the same."

He raised his head and looked at Fuwa Narumi's resolute face like a man: "So the DNA left on the last victim's hand was not left by Fumizuki Karin, but you - that is your DNA."

"???"

The two sentences are easy to understand separately, but together they are like a bombshell dropped into the lake.

Everyone just felt that everything was beyond their comprehension, especially Inozuka Saburo, a fan of Fumizuki Karin.

Saburo Inozuka said excitedly: "Are you saying that Miss Hualien and this Fuwa policeman are actually identical twins?! - Don't be joking, I believe they are father and daughter!"

A murderous aura surged out of Fuwa Mingmei's body.

Saburo Inozuka seemed to sense something, and he shrunk his neck in fear, hugging Fumizuki Karen's photo, and cautiously stopped saying anything.

Others couldn't help but nod: Wenyue Hualien has a soft and beautiful appearance. Even if she puts aside her acting skills and just puts her on the stage, she will be a cute and eye-catching star.

But Fuwa Narumi... This police officer has an angular face and a thick nose. Even if his appearance is affected by nurture, and the twins look less and less like each other, the difference will not be this big.

Jiang Xia looked at the information Matsumoto Kiyonaga had sent him before: "Fuwa Narumi should be your replacement. Your real name is Kitami Renko - she is the twin sister of Fumizuki Karen."

As if a blow hit her vitals, Fuwa Narumi was stunned. Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

Jiang Xia: "You should have undergone plastic surgery to look like this. However, although you have changed your appearance, some small habits are difficult to change. I don't know if you have noticed it, but you, like Miss Hualien, use the same posture as holding a knife when using a spoon. To hold.

"So when I was at the police station, I asked Officer Matsumoto to go to Room 314 to extract your DNA - your DNA is indeed exactly the same as Miss Hualien."
