Chapter 190: Physical evidence

　　 July 27, Saturday, evening, Benkei Hot Spring Hotel.
In room No. 21, on the corridor outside Yumi Horikoshi’s room, Maori identified Nakamichi Kazuchi as the murderer. Atsushi Omura, Ayajo and his wife, as well as Yamazaki, Mi Daiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan, were all listening. Maori reasoning, and the defense of Zhongdao and Zhi.
　　 After hearing what Maori said, Nakamichi and Shi smiled, "What are you talking about? After I finished playing with you, I will return those things."
"I rented a table five years ago. No one can watch the billiard equipment. If you rent it, you just have to go to the front desk and pay the hotel owner to set a time. Is it over on time? Is there any compensation for bad things? It’s entirely up to everyone’s consciousness.
Maori said,
You can go and meet the owner of the hotel and say that the rental is over, pay for the we beat, and then secretly use the table tennis equipment. Come, the hotelier can also testify for you to prove that you did return the things."
　　 Nakamichi and Zhi said: "I went to take a bath after returning my stuff. What you said is totally unfounded."
"You are wrong. Although you cannot clearly point out that it was you and Yumi, someone went to the table tennis court to play pool after we left. This is absolutely not wrong." Maori said, "I don't know if you noticed it. In order to facilitate management, boxes, rackets, and nets have numbers matching the table, and each box contains twelve rackets, two barrels of twelve balls, and a net." Then he ordered. "Yamzaki, you go to see how many are left in the number one box. I remember we broke three in the afternoon. Judging from Yumi’s sweating situation, it is possible for her to break one or two balls. of."
　　 "I understand." Yamazaki said and went.
　　 "I'll go too." Conan broke free from Lan's hand as he said, and followed.
　　 Maori said, "Let’s wait a moment."
　　 went downstairs, Conan smiled and said, "Uncle is so amazing, this time."
　　 "Because Aunt Yumi is his good friend, right." Yamazaki smiled.
　　 After walking for a while, Conan asked, "Do you think of any flaws?"
　　 "Still not," Yamazaki said.
　　 Soon after, Yamazaki and Conan went back to report that one ball was missing. They also notified the hotelier and asked her to help keep the scene on the other side of the stadium intact so that the police could collect evidence.
　　 Nakamichi Kazuzhi smiled and asked, "What can one missing ball show?"
"You know, why did I confirm that Yumi played the ball at table one?" Maori said, and then replied, "because you brought the box at table one, you put it on the net, and the racket is You distributed the ball, and you took out the ball. All of those things have your fingerprints on them. And the racket you distributed to Yumi must have never been touched by us. In other words, after the racket was used by Yumi, As long as the fingerprints are wiped off, no one knows whether Yumi has touched the racket, and there will be no one missing fingerprints."
　　 Nakamichi Kazuzhi smiled and asked, "Is it wrong that I helped to divide the racket?"
Maori went on to say: "Broken can also be taken out by you and thrown away after rubbing them. These are things that can be handled, but there is one thing you can't handle, that is the table." Then he asked. "There must be fingerprints left by Yumi inadvertently on the No. 1 table. What did you do with it? You wiped it, and then you are going to tell the police whether it was wiped by the staff or not. Waiting for the staff to help. Are you cleaning up?"
Seeing Zhongdao Hezhi's face changed, Maori said, "I think you are afraid that the staff will not wipe it in place, so you can wipe it yourself. Wipe the number one table and the number two table together." Then he smiled, "Unfortunately. Ah, because of Mei Daizi, the daily work in this hotel has been completely suspended. This has caused a big flaw in your plan. Not only the underwear has not been cleaned, but the billiard equipment and table have not been cleaned. Over."
　　 "Ha," Mei Daizi said with a small smile, "It seems that I did a good job."
　　 Yuanzi laughed softly: "Accident, this is totally an accident."
　　 Lan whispered: "Quiet!"
　　 Nakamichi Kazushi said: "Kogoro, we have no way to do fingerprint identification. I think we should wait for the police to talk about this matter."
"Well, what does Yumi do for sports, put it aside," said Mori, and then asked, "Then, according to Yumi's underwear is wet with sweat, Yumi did strenuous exercise before he was killed. Agree?"
　　 Nakamichi and Zhi said: "Yes, this is a fact, I agree."
　　 "Good," said Mori, "Yumi, take it off around the evening..."
　　 "Wait a minute," said Nakamichi Kazushi, "Kogoro, no one knows what Yumi did after we separated. Maybe that set of underwear was put in the dry cleaning machine by Yumi this afternoon."
"It seems Kazuki, you haven't done any housework," Maori smiled. "If it was taken off at three o'clock and put in the laundry dry-cleaning machine, then in this big summer, there are some from the afternoon to the present. After more than seven hours, this underwear has dried up. You know, it’s not a central air conditioner. It’s very hot in the laundry room when there is no one. Now they are still wet, which only means that they were taken off later. "Then he said seriously, "That means that we judged that Yumi's death time was more than three o'clock, which is completely wrong."
　　 Atsushi Omura immediately asked in surprise: "Huh? Then, the Yumi I saw after five o'clock, is she herself?"
"Yes, there are no ghosts in this world. At that time, Yumi was still alive, and she would have been staring at the stadium, she should be waiting for Kazushi." Maori said, "They should have agreed to talk about private matters. , And Hezhi proposed to play billiards, which made her very angry, so she was awkward and didn't come with him. Then he kept staring at the court and waited for Hezhi."
Nakamichi and Shi laughed and said, "If I had an appointment with Yumi, I would not go to play with you." Then he said seriously, "Now, as you said, we have mistaken Yumi's death time. "
　　 Ayagi Kiko asked, "So, when was Yumi killed?"
　　 "At half past six, when the fireworks display started," Mori said, staring at Nakamichi Kazushi, "you shot Yumi with the sound of the fireworks."
　　 Nakamichi and Zhi said: "At half past six, I took a bath in the large bath."
"In the afternoon, we were in the billiard room. The hotel people including the hotel owner were in the back kitchen. At that time, someone shot in Yumi's room. You may not hear. But now it has been proved that Yumi was alive around five o'clock. "," said Mori, "and from the evening..." Then he asked, "By the way, Yamazaki, where did you find the innkeeper when you went to retreat?"
"Reception," Yamazaki said, "When I rented it, I knew she was in the back kitchen, so I went there to find her. I set a two-hour time. When I left, I didn't find her in the back kitchen and asked Staff, they said that the boss said that he was old before five o'clock and couldn't bear it, so he went to the front desk to rest."
"In this way, if there is a gunshot after five o'clock, the hotel owner will not be inaudible. And the time for the fireworks is only half past six. The time for the first shot is predictable." Maori said. "So you can only shoot at that time." Then he scanned the crowd and said, "At that time, the only people who stayed at the hotel were Yamazaki and Midako, Yukio and Kiko, and you, Kazuki. Yamazaki and Mei Daizi have always been in the back kitchen, with clear alibi."
　　 Ayajo Kiko carried Ayajo Yukio and said, "Yukio and I took a bath in the open-air bath."
　　 Ayajo Yukio smiled and said, "It is useless for the two of us to testify to each other."
　　 Nakamichi and Zhi said: "Don't worry, we are just discussing it. Yumi committed suicide. The possibility of homicide remains to be verified."
"I think after we finished playing and left, you immediately came to Yumi's room, probably saying to her,'You have been in the air-conditioned room all afternoon, go to the table tennis court with me and sweat.' Yumi will say, "No, I'm going to watch the fireworks." And you would say, "Just play for a while, then go to a hot spring, and when the fireworks display starts at 6:30, I will accompany you on the balcony while watching the fireworks outside. Have dinner together and spend the last romantic time together.'" Maori said, and then asked, "I think what you guys mean, right?"
　　 "How is it possible, you think too much," Nakamichi and Shi laughed, "I broke off with Yumi long ago, and Yumi himself said the same."
"Is it broken? I don't think so. You met with Yumi in Yonehuacho yesterday, so you had the opportunity to pick up the gun. Yumi didn't go to work until almost there yesterday. It should be talking to you. The matter, but it didn’t work out, it was so late. And you are getting married now, so what you want to talk about in private should be to completely end the relationship between you." Maori said, "So, you are like that. Once said, Yumi, she will definitely agree."
　　 Zhongdao Hezhi smiled and asked, "Do you suspect that I picked up the gun?"
　　 "Your height is over 1.7 meters, and your bald head can reflect light. Why can't you doubt you?" Maori asked, "Do you have an alibi?"
　　 Zhongdao Hezhi shook his head and smiled: "No."
　　 "At that time, you should be around there, right?" Maori said, "It's easy to find out based on your body shape."
　　 "Yes, I ran into Yumi yesterday and had lunch together." Nakamichi Kazushima smiled, "But it can't prove anything."
"You controlled the playing time, leaving only a small amount of time for Yumi, so that her muscles could not recover. When she went to the hot spring, you secretly returned the billiard equipment, and by the way the racket and the racket that Yumi touched Wiped the ball clean, then took the bad ball, took a shower, changed clothes, then went back to the room to take the hidden gun, and waited behind the door. Yumi soaked in the female bath and changed into wet underwear , Changed into a loose bathrobe and went back to the room. When you waited for Yumi to enter the door, walk over, follow her, and talk to her while walking into the room together." Maori said, "At this time, the sound of fireworks lifted into the sky sounded. You seize the opportunity, put the gun on Yumi’s head and shoot. Then, with a shot of Yumi’s body, who died immediately, but had not fallen yet, she turned to face the gate and fell backwards, and then you put no The pistol with your fingerprints was placed on Yumi’s hand, let her hold the gun, put her index finger on the trigger, so that she became what we saw. And when you were about to come out of the room, it happened to touch Ran and Conan who came up and asked Yumi to get up, so you went down from the balcony, took a towel from the bathroom, pretended to have just taken a shower, and walked around in front of Ran and the others. Then you ran back from the fireworks display In the hotel, go to the female bath to deal with Yumi’s underwear, go to the pool court to wipe the table, of course, the bad ball has also been thrown away, and finally you go to the large bath, take a serious bath, and wash away the gunpowder residue on your body ."
　　 Ayagi Noriko asked in surprise: "Kogoro, you said Yumi went to the female bath at that time?"
　　 "Yes." Maori said, "Kazuki didn't expect you to stay in the hotel at all, so he was surprised when he saw you. Then he made a routine to you, and then chose the large bath room as his bathing place."
　　 Nakamichi Kazuchi asked, "Your reasoning is that Yumi did not commit suicide, but killed him. Isn't that true?"
　　 "I can't think of anyone who would do vigorous exercise before committing suicide, then take a bath, change clothes, and send clothes to dry cleaning." Maori said.
　　 "I can't think of such a person, it doesn't mean that there is no such person." Nakamichi smiled, and then asked, "You also believe that it is not an outsider, and that I am the murderer, is that right?"
　　 Maori asked, "It is necessary for the outside criminal to set up this suicide scene. Is it necessary to deal with other things?"
　　 Zhongdao Hezhi smiled and asked, "Maybe he wants to disrupt the police investigation?"
"This is a perfect arrangement, and there are people who can let Yumi come to meet without wearing underwear, and you appeared near the scene of the missing gun yesterday." Maori asked, "Kazushi, these conditions are combined, this murderer is not you. who is it?"
　　 "So what about the evidence?" Nakamichi Kazushi asked with a smile, "Kogoro, do you have any definite evidence?"
　　 "Uh..." Maori was stunned.
　　 Yamazaki and Conan looked at each other and shook their heads together, that is to say, they found no evidence.
"Kogoro, is there no evidence?" Nakamichi and Shi smiled, "Okay, I think the discussion can be over here. Let's take a break and prepare to be investigated by the police. It's past 11:4. It's very much, I think the police should be there in a while." He said he wanted to take the lead and leave.
"Ah!" Mei Daizi suddenly shouted, "No, I forgot the time." Then he said to Nakamichi Kazushi, Ayajo and Atsushi Omura who wanted to leave, "Wait a minute, my mother has a letter. I'll hand it to you." Then he ran back to the room.
　　 "Letter?" Nakamichi Kazuzhi asked in surprise, "At this time?"
　　 "No way!" said Ayagi and Atsushi Omura together.
　　 Mori asked, "Yamzaki, do you know this?"
　　 "I don't know at all." Yamazaki shook his head and replied, then smiled, "But I guessed something now."
　　 Maori asked, "What is it?"
At this moment, Mei Daizi ran back with her bag, and she smiled embarrassedly: "Mom asked me to give you the letter at 11:30, but I just fell asleep after hearing the story. Forgot, sorry." He opened the bag and took out a stack of letters.
　　 drew the corners of his mouth, and Maori asked, "At half past eleven? Why did Miko say that at this time?"
　　 "Mom didn't say anything." Mei Daizi said, "First of all, Uncle Maori's ~EbookFREE.me~ said a letter to Maori.
　　 "Huh?" Looking at the envelope protruding from a spot, Maori asked, "What's in it?" He tore the envelope open and poured the contents into his hands.
　　 Inside is a piece of paper and a plastic bag. Looking at the contents of the plastic bag, Maori said in surprise, "This is..."
　　 "Bullet!" Nakamichi Kazuzhi said in surprise, and his face immediately turned pale.
　　 Seeing that Nakamichi's face changed drastically, Maori asked, "Isn't this the bullet in that gun?" Then he asked in surprise, "Is there no fingerprints on it?"
　　 "Just kidding," Nakamichi Kazuzhi reluctantly smiled, "This can't prove anything."
　　 Looking at the piece of paper, Maori was taken aback, then looked at Nakamichi Kazuzhi and said seriously: "Kazushi, you should surrender yourself."
　　 "What a joke?" Nakamichi Kazushi called, and he snatched the paper in Maori's hand, but after only one glance, he was stunned and the paper fell to the ground.
Yamazaki picked it up, looked at it, and smiled: "This is an appraisal. It says that there are fingerprints of two people on the bullet. One of course belongs to the middle and Uncle Zhi, and the other person's name is not mentioned. Everyone didn’t know him, but everyone knew what he did. He was the bank robber yesterday, and his fingerprint was also left on the bullet."
　　 "What!" The people present cried out in surprise.
　　 "This is the best material evidence," Maori said, "Hezhi, what else can you say."...
