The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 308: Exchange Characters

"If I had to say, it seemed like Shimizu Takaho was poisoned at the time."

Bai Masong listened to what Suzuki Sonoko said and looked at her with some surprise.

I didn’t expect that Yuanzi actually revealed the truth!

Bai Masong also took the opportunity to take a look at Shimizu Takahashi's reaction.

As expected, Shimizu Takashi's face froze slightly, and he seemed to have a trace of cold sweat.

Bai Masong smiled gently.

"Why do you all think that the victim was the one who beat Mr. Shimizu?"

When Bai Masong said this, everyone was stunned again.

Shimizu Takao also forced a smile.

"Officer, what are you talking about? That guy beat me up, and everyone has seen it."

Inspector Megure and others also showed puzzled expressions.

However, Judy, who came from the FBI, suddenly felt her eyes brighten, and then she felt secretly annoyed. She didn't expect that she had been fooled by this guy.

Seeing that Shimizu Takashi was making excuses, Bai Masong corrected him.

"You're wrong. It's not that he's been beating you up all the time."

“What the people present saw was Caesar in the game console beating Lux.”

"What's the difference?"

Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

“Yeah, isn’t Mr. Shimizu playing Lux? Mr. Oto is playing Caesar.”

Xiaolan also said so.

"Did you see it?"

Baimasong asked suddenly.

This question made several people stunned again.

this......

To say that I saw it, I didn't see it, but...

"This officer,"

The uncle who was called over later, Jiang Shouminji, explained,

"That guy Bidou has always been known as Caesar, nicknamed Rice Flower Caesar; Shimizu is very good at Lux, known as the undefeated Lux ​​of Cup House."

"When the two of them fight, they will naturally only use their best heroes."

However, Bai Masong shook his head after hearing what Jiang Shouminsi said.

"Mr. Shimizu took advantage of your stereotypes to come up with this murder method."

"Everyone thought they would each choose their own heroes to fight, but in fact it was the opposite."

Quite the opposite?

Everyone was shocked. If that was the case, then it could explain the one-sided situation in the game.

Bai Masong continued,

"Do you remember this scene on the surveillance video?"

"Mr. Shimizu walked over to Mr. Oto, who was already sitting on the game console, ready to start at any time, and put a hand on his shoulder, seeming to be talking to him in a friendly manner."

As he spoke, Bai Masong turned the surveillance screen back to the scene he had seen before and gestured to everyone,

"I think it was at this time that Mr. Shimizu took out the poison needle he had prepared in advance and stabbed the victim, Mr. Oto Kengo."

"After Mr. Oto was poisoned, his body instantly froze, and perhaps Mr. Shimizu covered his mouth, preventing him from screaming."

"After that, the poison took effect. This poison should be quite strong. Mr. Oto immediately lost consciousness. It was at this time that Mr. Shimizu quickly helped him finish the game. Then he started another game and immediately chose his specialty - Lux."

"After doing all this, he returned to his seat with satisfaction and chose Mr. Oto's favorite hero - Caesar."

"After that, all you have to do is keep attacking, use all your skills, and show your overwhelming strength. That's all."

As soon as Bai Masong finished speaking, Xiaolan raised her doubts.

"But, if that's the case, why didn't he eliminate his opponent at the end of the game?"

In response to Xiaolan's question, Inspector Megure and Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly. They also wanted to ask this question.

Bai Masong raised two fingers at this time.

"Two reasons."

"First, if he defeats his opponent directly, both sides will see a win or loss notification on their screens."

"At that time, although the audience will not be able to see who is who on the big screen, they will be able to see the words 'you lose' on the screen of the victim, Mr. Kengo Oto. In this way, his plan will be shattered."

"And if you don't attack your opponent, once the time is up, a draw will appear on both of your screens, which means 'draw', so you won't be able to tell the difference."

"Second point,"

Bai Ma Song continued,

"It is to confuse the public or to disrupt the time of the crime."

"As long as everyone believes that Caesar was operated by the victim, they will make the same inference as you, Inspector Megure, made before - that the victim was poisoned at the beginning or the last moment of the game."

"In this way, it would be easy for Mr. Shimizu Takao, who was sitting in the seat of the game machine at this time, to clear his suspicion, even if he had contact with the victim before the game started."

"I see!"

Inspector Megure and others suddenly realized.

The way they looked at Shimizu Takashige was already full of suspicion, or it could be said that they were already certain with a high probability.

After all, for now, in Inspector Megure's opinion, Hakuba Matsu has not missed it.

Although it is not good to be superstitious about authority, Inspector Megure really doesn't want to use his brain too much.

However, at this time, Shimizu Takashi felt the doubts of the crowd, but he still smiled without caring.

"Where is the murder weapon?"

"According to what you said, I should have used a weapon like a poison needle or a syringe. Why wasn't it found at the scene?"

Hearing Shimizu Takashi's provocative words, Sato Miwako immediately made eye contact with Hakuba Matsu.

The meaning in her eyes was: Do you want a body search?

Bai Masong shook his head.

There's no need, the murder weapon wasn't on him anyway.

At this time, Shimizu Takao revealed a mocking smile.

"Why, officer, do you want to search me? You can search me now."

"You can search me as you like. Anyway, I am not the murderer. I am innocent."

Although he said so, his unbridled smile made Inspector Megure and others more convinced of their suspicions.

Inspector Megure looked at Hakuba Matsu for help.

Bai Masong was still calm and said slowly,

"Don't mention the innocence of the innocent. After all, the murder weapon is not in your hands."

"Then tell me, where is it?"

Shimizu Takaho smiled at Hakuba Matsu.

Bai Masong ignored him and looked at the waiter beside him.

"Mr. Hitoshi Dejima, could you please lift up the sole of your shoe so we can see it?"

"Ah? Ah! Yes, sure. No problem."

The waiter Dejima hurriedly said.

As he said this, he was about to lift his foot.

Bai Ma Song added,

"It's the right foot."

"Ah, okay."

He took back his left foot that he was about to lift, and lifted up the other foot, allowing everyone to see the sole of his shoe.

At this time, everyone can see that there is a piece of tin foil stuck on the sole of his shoe.
