Chapter 86 Tool Man
"Not only can I not protect you, I also have to send you to prison with my own hands, sorry."
When Tanaka Kiriki heard this, her face changed. Although she didn't know what the famous detective had discovered, she was very confident in her method of committing the crime. As long as the other party could not see through the secrets of this magic performance and could not come up with tangible evidence, she could not prove herself.
The complicated eyes of everyone did not shake her, she spoke calmly and calmly:
"I said, Mr. Maori, I was almost shot and killed by the murderer just now. You were there at that time. Why did I become the murderer now? Miss Maori, you saw it when I was attacked, right?"
“It’s true…”
Ran Mori looked at his father who was rarely majestic, then looked at the smiling Kiriki Tanaka, and chose to tell the truth.
Although this may embarrass her father, she is even less willing to make innocent people become prisoners because of her lying.
"Look, Mr. Detective, you and your daughter can testify for me." Tanaka Kirie said with a calm smile.
"I did see you being attacked, but it's right that the murderer was you..."
"Then tell me what happened to me when I was attacked, and how did I kill Mr. Hamano and transport him here?"
"Well……"
In the cold snow, Kogoro Mori's head began to sweat constantly, and his left hand, which was placed in his trouser pocket, clenched tightly into his fist.
He knew that the murderer was the beautiful Miss Tanaka in front of him, but he couldn't figure out how the other party achieved this bloody performance, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.
"I don't have to bother Uncle Maori like this. I'll do it for you."
Tani Mizumizuki came out from the crowd, and a sentence attracted everyone's attention. Kogoro Mouri, who was originally in the focus of attention, breathed a relaxed tone.
Although it is not clear how Kogoro Mouri discovered that Kirikie Tanaka was the murderer, since he rarely cheered up once, let him slightly restore his image in Ran Mouri's heart.
Moreover, if you wait any longer, you might say that Conan's little devil is going to start making trouble again.
"Oh? Mr. Gu, do you think I'm the murderer, too?"
"Yes, Uncle Maori's judgment is correct."
"When I was attacked, Mr. Maori and Miss Maori saw it with their own eyes. You tell me what happened. If I were the murderer, who was the one who attacked me?" Tanaka Kihisaki looked at Tani Mizuto confidently.
"Xiaolan, please tell me what you saw. What did you see when Miss Tanaka was attacked."
"Okay." Ran Mori saw that his father had no choice but to question Miss Tanaka, so he showed a look of gratitude on his face.
"The father and Conan were accompanying Miss Tanaka to her room to get clothes. We were standing at the door waiting. Suddenly, an arrow shot through the glass of the balcony door and nailed it to the wall. The arrow almost shot at dad, which scared him."
"Look, I'm right?" Tanaka Kiriki looked even more calm.
"Xiaolan, did you see the whole process of crossbow arrows breaking through the window outside the house and nailing into the wall? Or did you just hear the sound of the windows breaking and see crossbow arrows nailing into the wall?"
Tani Shuizumi guided Ran Maori to recall the details without any haste.
"I really didn't see the whole process of crossbow arrows breaking through the window outside the house and nailing into the wall..." Ran Mori tilted his head and recalled carefully, "It should be that he only heard the sound of the glass being broken and saw crossbow arrows being nailed to the wall."
"Are you guessing a riddle? Is there any difference?" Tanaka Kiriki frowned.
"There are many possibilities for the process that can lead to the same result. Magic is a performance based on such variable possibilities."
"Your web name is Red Herring, right, Mr. Doita?"
Tukki Doi, who was suddenly named, suddenly had a thrill of heart and nodded nervously.
"The red herring fallacy is a very famous fallacy in logic, that is, a fallacy in shifting topics. It usually turns the attention of the reader or listener to another topic by inserting an irrelevant topic into it, thus winning the debate."
"This principle is often used in magical performances and mystery novels to mislead the audience and readers."
"Xiaolan just heard the sound of glass breaking and saw crossbow arrows nailing to the wall. The so-called crossbow arrows breaking through the window outside the house were completely a process she had figured out. She subconsciously added the most reasonable process to what was happening in front of her."
"But, common sense and fact are not the same concept."
Tani Mizuto paused for a moment, looked at Tanaka Kiriki who had unconsciously started to fiddle with his fingers, and continued:
"There may be many kinds of results that Xiaolan saw. One of them is, Miss Tanaka, you used some mechanism to break the glass of the balcony door, and used this sound to attract the attention of these three viewers, and then took the opportunity to secretly shoot the crossbow onto the wall with a crossbow."
Just as Kiriki Tanaka was about to speak, Tanizumi turned his gaze to Ran Mori.
"Xiaolan, did Miss Tanaka turn her back to you at that time? And when you heard the sound of glass breaking, were you all attracted to look at the balcony?"
"Well, that's true." Mori Ran nodded.
"I said, even if what you said makes sense, then you should talk about what the so-called mechanism is. Is there really something that can achieve what you said?"
"I don't need to know." Tanizumi said calmly as Tanaka Kiriki.
"I said..."
Before Tanaka Kisakue could speak, Tani Mizuto interrupted her and turned her eyes to Tukki Doi.
"See professionals for professional things. Such a simple trick should be easy to do, Mr. Doita?"
Tukki Doi, who was stared at Tanizumi's sharp eyes, looked embarrassed and nodded, "It's really easy."
"Then please let me show this Miss Tanaka."
“…Okay, I get it.”
...
On the second floor of the villa, Kiri Tanaka's room.
Tukki Doi was busy dragging his fat body and finally placed the agency.
"Okay, please note, I'm going to start."
Tukki Doi stood in front of the bed, with his back facing everyone, and put his hand into the quilt for a while, then suddenly the glass on the balcony door was broken, and everyone couldn't help but look at the source of the sound.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tukki Doi secretly shot the crossbow arrow onto the wall behind him with a crossbow, and lined up with the original crossbow arrow.
Of course, he wore gloves to protect his fingerprints.
Then he got up again, pretended to go to the balcony to check, and pushed open the balcony door, and the sound of glass breaking came from the bathroom window directly below the room.
"Are you satisfied, Miss Tanaka?" Tanamizumi looked at Kiriki Tanaka.
"Well, I didn't expect Mr. Doita to be so good at magical mechanisms, and he had a very wonderful performance."
