Chapter 11 After Chapter Eleven

(missing page here) Kosuke Kindaichi went on to say: "In fact, looking back, choosing Professor Jiang Chuan, or letting Jiang Chuan draw the devil's lottery, was a fatal mistake for criminals. Let's go back to Saturday evening. At that time, Jiang Chuan The professor is enjoying the addiction of "Iga Yuesukehei" on this rooftop, and he is concentrating on looking at the telescope. By chance, Masao broke into his lens. Due to the appearance of someone who should not have appeared there, Jiang Chuan Stunned, the professor used his unique lip-reading skills to read Masao's words. Unfortunately, the professor read only part of the conversation, not the entire conversation, and failed to realize that they were discussing experiments. Murder. Since it is a murder with a definite target, the professor naturally thought of Mr. Garner first."

As if Kano Tatsuya knew it at this time, tears welled up again. "Now, let's imagine what would happen if Professor Jiang Chuan was not the one Fusako set up in the trap at the competition? What if it wasn't Professor Jiang Chuan, but a certain summer tourist who had nothing to do with Mr. Garner or Masao , then it is estimated that most people would not think of such things as experimental killings and experimental products. Moreover, once the doctor misdiagnosed the unfortunate victim as heart paralysis, would Professor Jiang Chuan still insist on sending Professor Gu Yuan far away? Come on, let’s conduct a close investigation. Professor Jiang Chuan is a busy person. Therefore, I’m afraid that even if the professor has doubts in this situation, it will be nothing in the end. Then, in a few days, when the proprietress also talks to that After the unfortunate tourists died violently with the same symptoms, Professor Jiang Chuan will start to notice Masao's insidious plan."

Hearing this, Etsuko seemed to know just now, curled up and cried again.Her crying was not without reason.Because according to Kindaichi Kosuke's theory, wouldn't it mean that Professor Jiang Chuan became her scapegoat? This time it was Kano Tatsuya's turn to caress Etsuko's back. "Next—" After Etsuko's crying stopped a little bit, Kosuke Kindaichi continued: "Professor Jiang Chuan's second misfortune was that he couldn't see clearly the person talking to Masao on the sailboat. If he knew it was Fusako, then in the beauty contest, you will pay attention to Fusako's every move. Unfortunately, the professor didn't know. On the other hand, the professor has always believed that they are going to deal with you, Mr. Garner. So now that I think about it, I was at the competition site Professor Jiang Chuan must have devoted all his attention to protecting Mr. Garner from accidents."

It is estimated that Kano Tatsuya and Yiliu Etsuko had never thought of this before, so they both bowed their heads deeply.Waiting for the police department to seem to have thought of something, quietly nodded. "However, nothing happened to Mr. Garner. Until the end of the game, you volunteered to participate in the street parade with the proprietress. At that time, Professor Jiang Chuan must have silently said in his heart: good, good, everything is fine. Now the proprietress is with you This kid Garner should be fine... However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he fell into a trap set by the devil."

As soon as Kosuke Kindaichi's words fell, the audience fell into a quiet silence. The typhoon seems to be continuing to move northward, the waves are getting louder, and the sea breeze blowing through the room is also getting stronger little by little.It was vaguely mixed with female sighs - not only Etsuko was crying, but also Kato Tatsuko and Kume Kyoko covered their eyes with handkerchiefs. "In short, as I said just now, choosing Professor Jiang Chuan, or let the most beloved Professor Jiang Chuan, Ms. Kato, draw the devil's lottery is really a fatal mistake of the criminals. Because of the murder of Professor Jiang Chuan , Ms. Kato rose up to resist. Just when the two doctors and the stupid us came to the hasty conclusion of 'heart attack', Ms. Kato got the ball as evidence in the first place. Not only that, she also Send a telegram to invite Professor Gu Yuan here. If this is not the case, the unfortunate death of Professor Jiang Chuan will be simply regarded as the death of heart paralysis, and then the second and third murders will occur. From this point of view, the first contribution to solving this case Ms. Kato."

"Mr. Kindaichi," the investigator asked with wide-eyed eyes, "does the second and third murders refer to the proprietress and Fusako?" "Oh, no, no, I don't think Fusako is in Masao's plan. Since I didn't expect Professor Jiang Chuan to be the unlucky one, the heart paralysis trick can't be played anymore, and Professor Jiang Chuan is also the same for Fusako. People who are very close to each other - this has shaken Fusako, and even aroused Masao's uneasiness. So Masao used the old method to secretly ask Fusako to meet - that is, Fusako went out to sea in a sailboat alone, and then There he meets Masao, who is good at swimming, and Masao kills her as we know him. So Fusako is just an 'extra kill' for Masao."

"So, the second refers to the proprietress, so who is the third?" "This is Miss Kyoko." Ah, all eyes were on Kyoko.Kyoko's lips turned pale with fright, and her shoulders trembled like a bird. "Miss Kyoko..." "Ok?" "Ever since Lingtang passed away in a car accident, haven't you been doubting Zu Zhengxiong's responsibility?" "yes." "Of course the shrewd Zhengxiong will not be unaware of this. On Tuesday evening, you and Zhengxiong suddenly abandoned him while walking on the beach. What happened at that time?" "Well, at that time..." Kyoko seemed to suddenly understand What, his face was full of horror, his lips trembling, "Zhengxiong wanted to take me to the inaccessible Jiuchao Peak, but I suddenly felt scared and ran back."

"Ah, that's right, it's a good thing you didn't go. I happened to be on the roof at the time, and I happened to have a telescope at hand, so I clearly saw the expression on Masao's face after you left—it was the most vicious expression in the world I can clearly feel the murderous intent in it." "Masao, this bastard... Masao, this bastard..." Garner lowered his head in shame, and said through gritted teeth. "Also, Mr. Director." "what?" "I used to think that since his experiment failed and Fusako died, the proprietress should be safe for the time being. But after seeing Masao's expression through the binoculars, I think Kyoko might be in more danger than the proprietress." The situation is extremely urgent, and measures must be taken as soon as possible. So, I had to play a little trick..." "Small trick?"

"Ha, ha, this..." Kosuke Kindaichi took out the pink envelope of the so-called "suicide note" of Fusako that he showed everyone that night as if by magic. "Is this what you call a 'little trick'?" "Please check." The investigation director pulled out the contents of the envelope suspiciously, and immediately after that, everyone on the scene let out a "ammonia" exclamation—the letters that the director opened were all blank paper! "Kane, Mr. Kindaichi, what about the so-called 'Fusako's Notes'?" "Mr. Director, if there is such a thing, of course I will give it to you immediately. Hey, Mr. Police Department, you don't have to be so angry." In fact, at this moment, the Waiting Force Police Department is dissatisfied with Kindaichi Kosuke's actions. The nose is humming.

"But lady boss, you must have seen that the so-called Fusako's letter was forged. To be honest, when you asked me for that letter, I broke out in a cold sweat!" "I'm really sorry. Although I don't know who wrote the words on the envelope, Fusako definitely can't write such good words." "Ahaha, you'd be embarrassed to say that, Ms. Kato, she was the one who helped me with this little trick, but Ms. Kato—" "Huh?" "You were there at the time, so you must know that it was Raskolnikov's line that really gave Masao a fatal blow!"

"what--" "Speaking of which, Professor Jiang Chuan used the lip-reading technique to read that line. So you might as well think that, in the end, Professor Jiang Chuan is the one who has revenge for himself." "Yes, sir, thank you very much." Kato said and saluted, his voice choked up. A long silence followed.While listening to the sound of the waves, everyone fell into deep thought.Suddenly—"Mr. Kindaichi!" Kano Tatsuya called out like a moan. "Ok?" "I... what should I, Kano Tatsuya, do? I have a nephew as bad as Masao, and I have lost Jiang Chuan, the only close friend who can confide in me. How can I, Urashima Taro, live in Japan in the future?" "Mr. Garner, your question is just right," Kosuke Kindaichi said happily, "Please allow me to make a suggestion to you on behalf of Professor Jiang Chuan: You should marry the proprietress as soon as possible. What do you think, proprietress?" "Thank you, sir. If Mr. Garner doesn't mind..." Etsuko replied very tactfully, but her ears were flushed with shame.But in the eyes of Kosuke Kindaichi, this red color is really beautiful. "Then I have to ask the proprietress to do something." "Ah, what's the matter?" "It's a bit of a lot to say, and it may be unnecessary for someone like you. However, please allow me to make this suggestion on behalf of Professor Jiang Chuan. Everyone knows that if it weren't for Masao, this Miss Kyoko would have become a Ghanaian Mr.'s adopted daughter. Although Ms. Kyoko has property and does not need to rely on anyone, but this incident caused her to lose both her biological mother and her mother's friend Professor Jiang Chuan, and she became completely unaccompanied. Moreover, Ms. Kyoko and Ms. Fusako is different, she will definitely become your good daughter. If the above can be taken seriously by you, I will be honored." "Thank you, sir." Kano Tatsuya and Ichiliu Etsuko expressed their thanks in unison. Although Kyoko shed tears without saying a word, those tears were of course not from objecting to Kosuke Kindaichi's proposal. The typhoon is coming, and a gust of cool wind blows past this Japanese-style room in Wanghai Building.
