I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Chapter 693 It’s Sure

After confirming that Reiko Hirukawa's car had not been tampered with, the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

The person with a motive for committing the crime was not at the scene when the crime occurred, and the person at the scene not only had no motive, but was also full of doubts. Inspector Megure could not help but scratch his head silently through his hat.

Masumi Sera looked down at Conan. When she saw that his face showed a thoughtful expression that was not like that of a child, his eyes gradually became deep. She stood aside and suggested: "Why don't we go to the annex to check it out first? Since the rooftop may be a decoy, then the actual place where Mr. Kamizumi died may not be there, right, Conan?"

Conan was suddenly cueed and was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Maori Kogoro pulled Conan away and said, "What are you talking about? You little brat, what do you know? Don't disturb the police. If you want to play games, go play them somewhere else."

At this time, a police officer came to report that a wheelchair with a long fishing line wrapped around it was found on the second floor of the annex and was suspected to be related to the case.

Officer Megure immediately led a few people downstairs. Chiba was collecting the overlong fishing line in front of the wheelchair. Seeing Officer Megure and his group coming over, he handed him the photos of the scene just now and said, "When I found this wheelchair just now, it was still hitting the wall, and there was a long fishing line dragging behind it."

Hirukawa Reiko's face suddenly changed, and she shouted exaggeratedly: "It's a ghost! It must be the ghost in this annex that killed Mr. Kamizumi!"

Sonoko and Xiaolan turned back tremblingly, their faces pale: "Ah? What? A ghost???!!!"

The man who was traveling with Hirukawa Reiko also seemed to remember something: "Yes, it must be a ghost. Someone was in this annex before. There was an unoccupied wheelchair sliding alone in the corridor!"

Xiaolan and Sonoko hugged each other and trembled. Even Vodka widened his eyes. Then he quietly moved a few steps towards Chu Ming until his elbow touched Chu Ming's arm, which made him feel a little more at ease.

Chu Ming looked back at the burly Vodka speechlessly, secretly sighing that he had such a wasted body of muscles.

Officer Chiba explained quickly upon seeing this: "It's probably not a ghost. I've just asked the staff at the annex. This wheelchair was borrowed by the deceased, Mr. Kamizumi. He liked to ride around in this wheelchair. But the strange thing is, Mr. Kamizumi has no problem with his legs and feet. So the so-called ghost you're talking about is most likely created by Mr. Kamizumi to scare you or the media."

Chu Ming looked at the position of the wheelchair, roughly gestured with his hand, and thought: "When I came up just now, I found that the front and back doors of the elevator in this villa can be opened. Can the murderer use this wheelchair and elevator to set his own murder trap?"

Shira's eyes lit up when he heard that: "Oh, now I remember, after Conan and the others went upstairs, the security guard and I were waiting for the elevator, and we found that the elevator stopped briefly on the sixth floor and the second floor when it came down! Now the wheelchair is on the second floor, maybe the crime scene is on the sixth floor!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately took a few people to the sixth floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they felt a gust of wind whistling past them. Chu Ming looked along the corridor and saw an empty window frame at the end of the corridor. The glass in the window frame had all disappeared, and the tape at the edge of the canvas that had covered the window had also fallen off and was hanging aside, rustling in the wind.

Chu Ming walked over quickly, leaned forward slightly and looked down. Right below the window was where Shangzhu Zhenwu fell. He took a step back and carefully examined the traces around the window. Compared to downstairs, there were more traces left here.

Chu Ming squatted down and looked at the large areas of paint that had been splashed on the floor and walls at some point. He touched them with his fingers and rubbed them gently, then turned around and looked at the two round paint cans scattered nearby. There were obvious signs of dents on the outer shells from being hit.

It seems that the matter is very clear. The murderer should be that——

"The aunt named Hirukawa is the murderer." Sera Masumi pulled down his hat, the corners of his mouth naturally raised, outlining a confident smile.

It seemed that there was no need for him to say anything. Chu Ming stood up, took out a handkerchief from Vodka's pocket, carefully wiped the marks on his hands, and then stuffed the dirty handkerchief back into his pocket. His movements were so smooth that Vodka didn't react at all. He could only stare at Chu Ming with his round eyes, looking confused.

Chu Ming ignored his reaction and turned to see that Sera had asked Chiba and Takagi to prepare a dummy, intending to demonstrate it directly to everyone. At the same time, he also asked the police to bring Reiko Hirukawa and others over.

After Hirukawa Reiko and the others came up from the second floor, they immediately focused their attention on Officer Megure standing at the side of the corridor: "Has the case been solved? Does that mean they have found out that he actually committed suicide?"

"No, this gentleman just said that the murderer used the elevator and wheelchair to commit the murder." Officer Megure gestured to everyone to look at Sera who was standing by the window.

"Ah?" Shiliang's expression of being fully prepared suddenly turned into something indescribable. "You actually called me Mr.?"

Takagi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Hahaha, should I call him Sera-kun?"

"No, that—"

Conan blinked and interrupted Sera's unspoken explanation: "I'm very interested in Mr. Sera's reasoning, tell me quickly~"

Masumi Sera glanced at Conan and stopped explaining. Instead, he began to demonstrate the method used by the murderer. It was actually very simple. He just used the elevator and wheelchair to create an alibi for himself.

As she described and demonstrated, the wheelchair carrying the dummy moved from the second floor to the sixth floor through the elevator, and moved forward step by step to the window. Everyone's eyes were focused on whether the dummy in the wheelchair would really be thrown off and fall to the ground.

The wheelchair hit the wall with a thud in full view of everyone, but the dummy remained firmly in the wheelchair.

"Ah, how could this happen?"

Sera deliberately expressed her surprise, but her eyes fell on Conan inconspicuously.

She had seen Kudo Shinichi on the beach when she was a child, so she had her suspicions when she saw that Conan looked exactly like Shinichi when he was a child. So she deliberately left a flaw, pretending that she had not been able to solve the last step of the puzzle, to see how Conan would react.

Hirukawa Reiko was already sweating profusely as she watched Sera demonstrate step by step, fearing that her plan would be exposed, and her alibi would be completely ruined.

But at this moment, seeing Shiliang scratching his head with no clue, he immediately felt relieved.

This so-called detective doesn't look very smart, so this is probably a sure thing.
