Chapter 1067 Fishing Line, Fishing Line Again

Yuya put one hand in his pocket and walked slowly to the living room, glancing at everyone.

Others also subconsciously looked at Youya.

Inspector Megure seemed to have guessed something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yuya expectantly: "Brother Kamiya, are you..."

"Well, I already know the identity of the murderer and his modus operandi."

"What?" Conan was the first to shout in surprise.

Sera Masumi was also very surprised. She had no clue yet, but Yuya had solved the case?

"So who is the murderer?" asked Inspector Megure.

Yuya didn't keep the secret, he just pointed his finger at Guli Sanpei and said, "The murderer is you, the TV producer, Mr. Guli Sanpei!"

“?!” Guli Canping’s face turned pale and his eyes widened suddenly.

Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to him.

Inspector Megure was very surprised and immediately asked a question: "But, wasn't Mr. Kouri with you when you entered the room?"

"Moreover, when I entered the room, I heard the sound of wine glasses and plates falling to the ground and breaking. When I opened the bedroom door, I saw the murderer escape from the balcony..."

"No," Youya shook his finger and corrected, "If I remember correctly, I said at the time that I didn't see the murderer escape with my own eyes, I just saw a shadow flash by."

"How did the inspector conclude that that must be the murderer?"

Inspector Megure lowered his eyes and muttered to himself: It's because of what you said, most people would think that the murderer escaped from the balcony, right?

He asked helplessly, "Let's not talk about the shadow, what about the wine glass and the plate? If the murderer didn't knock them over, even though the room downstairs was slightly shaken during the renovation, there's no guarantee that they would fall to the ground, right?"

"No, it's definitely one hundred percent." Youya smiled faintly.

"what?"

At this time, Takagi Wataru came back at the right time, holding a bottle of red wine, a red wine glass and a salt shaker in his hands.

"Yuya-kun, I brought the things as you requested."

Yuya nodded slightly: "Okay, then please Officer Takagi, put the plate on the edge of the table, leaving half of it outside the table - be careful not to let it fall."

Takagi Shigeru did as he was told and put the plate away.

"Then, pour a lot of salt on the table inside the plate, close to the plate."

"... Next, place the wine glass at an angle on the salt pile, making sure it is tilted toward the outside."

Takagi Shigeru was a little skeptical at first, wondering if the wine glass could be put down. Unexpectedly, it actually stood there tilted. He couldn't help but shout excitedly, "The wine glass has been put down!"

"I saw it, no need to be so loud." Youya nodded slightly.

Takagi Wataru smiled awkwardly.

Inspector Megure gave him a sidelong glance. What was the big deal?

Yuya continued, "Then blow away the salt pile, and be careful to do it slowly so as not to let the wine glass fall over."

Takagi Wataru carefully blew away the salt pile, leaving only a small amount, but enough to support the wine glass from falling over.

Others looked at this scene in amazement. They didn't expect that such a small amount of salt could support the wine glass?

"Then, place the wine bottle firmly against the base of the wine glass."

"Finally, please knock on the table with appropriate force to simulate the shaking caused by the renovation downstairs."

Takagi Shigeru raised his hand, thought for a moment, and then knocked on the table with just the right amount of force.

The wine glass shook, then fell outward and hit the plate, and both fell to the ground together.

"In this way, the technique of the wine glass falling is complete. All you need to do is prepare a broken plate in advance where the wine glass will fall. When the wine glass falls on the plate, it will break and make the sound we heard at that time."

"Also, as long as the red wine is spilled visually and the footprints stained with red wine extend all the way to the bedroom, it can be faked that the murderer knocked over the wine glasses and plates and then fled all the way to the bedroom."

"The reason why Mr. Furuli wanted to open the entrance door was to use the air flow to blow away the salt pile left on the table. After all, if the police found the salt pile later, this method would be very likely to be exposed."

"That's why the heater in the living room is turned on. The temperature difference can be used to increase the air flow rate."

Hearing Yuya's description of the technique, Inspector Megure slammed his palm in amazement: "So that's how it is!"

"By the way, brother Kamiya, if the wine glass wasn't knocked over by the murderer, then what about the shadow you saw?"

Yuya smiled slightly: "It's very simple, and it also uses a very common prop in cases."

Inspector Megure was stunned: "What is that?"

But Takagi Wataru suddenly asked, "Could it be a fishing line?"

Yuya gave him an appreciative look and nodded, "Yes, it's the fishing line."

"The murderer had pasted a piece of cloth of the same color as the curtains on the window in advance, fixed one end of the fishing line to the closed door, and passed the other end through the cloth, tied a heavy object and hung it on the balcony."

"When we follow the footsteps to the bedroom and open the door, the fishing line will loosen and the cloth will fall due to the pull of the heavy object, creating the illusion that someone has escaped from the balcony."

At this time, Sera Masumi asked a question: "But if this happens, won't the fallen cloth be discovered?"

Yuya shook his head: "Sera, you may not know that there was a sports car parked under the balcony at that time, just like the one in my house, the kind that can fold up the roof to become a convertible sports car."

"So what?" Sera Masumi lowered his eyes. Everyone knows that you have a luxury sports car. There is no need to show off at this time, right?

Yuya smiled slightly: "In fact, in addition to using the control buttons in the car to retract and unfold the roof, it can also be remotely controlled using the car key, although there is a certain distance limit."

Sera Masumi was stunned: "Could it be that..."

"That's right. You just need to use tape to hold down the button of the car key and fix it on a heavy object. As the heavy object falls, the distance between the key and the car will get close to a certain degree, which will control the roof to close."

"That way, there will only be one car parked in a weird position left at the scene."

Sera Masumi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Yuya continued, "To complete this technique, we have to take advantage of the shaking caused by the renovation at 9 o'clock. This is why he delayed for a long time when he went to find the waiter, as well as the alarm ringing one minute before 9 o'clock, pretending to be an incoming call. This way, we can ensure that when we enter the room, it will be exactly when the construction starts at 1 o'clock."

"Similarly, in such a short period of time, Mr. Gu Li did not have enough time to deal with the evidence left in the car."

"For example, fishing lines with heavy objects tied to them, weapons used to kill the victims, and blood-stained...clothes!"

As Youya finished speaking, Gu Li Sanping fell to his knees with a thud, his face pale.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew without guessing that Gu Li Sanping had already admitted his crime.
