Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 523 The Trap of the Two-Color Capsule (3000)

At this time, the blond man who suggested the camera just now explained that he was a player who was playing the same game as the deceased, so follow him to see what might happen.

Yusaku Kudo thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, but several other players including Walter Marsh Jr. must be added.

In this way, everyone went to the control center together.

Of course, it was Qin Zhibo who proposed to look at the surveillance cameras.

Qin Zhibo judged through his own brain, and it was actually similar to what Yusaku Kudo had grasped. It was Walter Marsh Jr. who shot Bill Tuttle in the game, causing him to have a heart attack.

But the problem is that Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point and knew that the case was not that simple.

【Investigation√】

【This is a special pill box】

Bill Tuttle usually takes two medicines, which are placed in a push-pull mini-pill box with a plastic divider in the middle to separate the two medicines.

When drinking medicine, just push out the medicine box with your fingers and choose which medicine to take.

When Bill Tuttle first entered the hall, Qin Zhibo saw him take out this pill box and drink one of the pills.

However, Qin Zhibo currently doesn't know what this investigation point means, so he can only find out the truth through the second investigation point.

【Investigation√】

[This is a camera, maybe some key information was recorded]

The camera in the game cabin is very hidden, if it is not the investigation point, Qin Zhibo would not be easy to find it.

When everyone came to the control center, Tadabin Kashimura directed the staff to call up the screen of Bill Tuttle in the game cabin.

On the huge screen, in the black-and-white images recorded by the infrared camera, Bill Tuttle's chest was rising and falling rapidly.

Since "Cocoon" has not designed the recording function of the in-game screen for the time being, he can only calculate the approximate time when he was shot in the game according to the time.

Suddenly, Bill Tuttle's body began to struggle slightly, as if he was resisting something fiercely, or he was frightened by some kind.

After another 10 seconds, he exited the game state, took off the hood, and the normal lights in the game cabin turned on.

With a painful face on his face, he took out the medicine box from his pocket, pushed out the medicine-filled part, and chose between the two medicine compartments with his fingers.

At first, he wanted to choose the medicine grid on the left, but after hesitating for 0.5 seconds, he turned to the medicine grid on the right.

After taking the medicine, Bill Tuttle lay down in the cockpit and closed his eyes to rest. Just a few minutes later, he suddenly clutched his heart and struggled to stand up, but his feet slipped and his body fell down again.

At this time, the game hatch is automatically opened, and the monitoring is over.

Judging from the footage, Bill Tuttle does appear to have died of a heart attack.

At this time, other detective gamers said that at least one of Walter Marsh Jr.'s shots in the game had induced a heart attack.

Little Walter Marsh did not explain this, and the expression on his face was still gloomy.

However, Qin Zhibo saw some clues in the flashing picture just now.

The investigation point appears on the pill box, which means that there may be some situations in the picture of drinking medicine related to the pill box.

Qin Zhibo said directly: "Go back and look at the scene of drinking the medicine just now."

The staff in front of the console glanced at Qin Zhibo, an unfamiliar face, and then at Tadabin Kashimura, and Kashimura asked Yusaku Kudo for instructions.

Yusaku Kudo looked at the blond man next to him again, feeling a sense of deja vu in his heart, but he was really unfamiliar with this face.

"Do as he says."

So the staff flicked the time axis and retreated the surveillance screen to the place where Bill Tuttle was drinking the medicine just now.

This time, Qin Zhibo, who grasped the key points, looked at the monitoring carefully again, and finally thought of where the sense of disobedience was.

Yusaku Kudo on the side also discovered this during re-watching.

The two ran out of the control center at the same time and returned to the side of "Cocoon". Yu Kudo picked up the medicine box that fell on the ground with a handkerchief.

Pushing open the medicine box, this is not a magic box, but a simple two-compartment medicine box, with blue capsules and red capsules placed in the two compartments.

Seeing these two bright colors, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku instantly understood everything.

The confident expression on Kudo Yusaku's face was fleeting, and he immediately restrained that "I already understand everything" smile.

Although the truth is indeed known to the chest, it is almost announced.

just the man next to him
Yusaku Kudo decided to try it a little.

Next, the U.S. police arrive, and Yusaku Kudo rounds up the people involved, including those involved in the detective game, as well as Bill Tuttle's entourage of assistants.

"At first glance, this is just a case of accidental death from a game-induced heart attack."

"However. This is actually a murder case."

Kudo Yusaku got straight to the point, directly determined the nature of the case, and then pointed to the murderer.

"Mr. Bill's assistant, you are the murderer of the case!"

Everyone looked surprised and looked at the assistant who was watching.

If the murderer could be voted on, everyone would be more willing to believe that it was the tall, fierce-looking Walter Marsh Jr. who killed someone, rather than this seemingly talented assistant.

However, Yusaku Kudo has already begun to reason, "In fact, after Mr. Bill quit the game, his physical condition was not too serious."

"But after taking the medicine, his condition suddenly worsened until he died."

"Why did you still die after taking the medicine for treatment? The reason is very simple, because you replaced the medicine in the medicine box."

After Yusaku Kudo explained this, everyone suddenly became enlightened, and quickly gave the assistant a C position that belonged exclusively to the murderer.

However, the assistant was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "Since Mr. Detective thinks that the medicine box is the medicine I replaced, you can ask the police to test the remaining medicine."

"If the other capsules in the kit are all normal medicines for the disease, what evidence do you have that I replaced Mr. Bill's medicine?"

"Is there any way I can make Mr. Bill have to take that so-called 'replacement drug'?"

Seeing the confident look of the assistant, the American police couldn't figure out for a moment whether they should test them one by one, and could only cast their hopeful eyes on "the savior of the American police" again.

However, at this time, the expression on Kudo Yusaku's face seemed to be in trouble, his lips were tightly closed, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he stared at the murder scene seriously without saying a word.

This surprised everyone present, Yusaku Kudo was actually questioned by the murderer!
Kudo Yukiko, who was watching from the sidelines, hurried forward, wanting to ask why her performance was abnormal today, but seeing her husband in trouble, she couldn't bear to disturb her now.

Not far away, Suzuki Sonoko was also a little surprised. The legendary Yusaku Kudo is a famous reasoning expert who has solved countless unsolved cases.
Not even Mori Kogoro. No
Even Qin Zhibo can't compare, right?
Suzuki Sonoko thought about the detectives he knew, and still felt that Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability was the most explosive recently, and it was suitable to be compared with Yusaku Kudo.

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who felt that the timing was about right, stood up and directly picked up the medicine box on the ground and held it in his hand.

"The capsules in this medicine box are probably medicines for normal treatment of diseases. But you still have a way to make the dead eat the only 'poison'."

The muscles on the assistant's face trembled slightly, and before the word "why" could be said, his expression froze immediately.

Because he saw that Qin Zhibo was moving a blue capsule in the left compartment into the middle of the red capsule in the right compartment.

The blue capsule is extremely conspicuous in the red capsule, so conspicuous that its existence cannot be ignored.

And when Yusaku Kudo saw Qin Zhibo doing this, the serious expression on his face instantly turned into confidence.

Sure enough, you know it too.
The American police and other onlookers were still puzzled, but Kudo Yusaku had already started to explain using the props in Qin Zhibo's hands.

"Actually, this method is very simple. Just put your replaced medicine into different colored capsules, and the killing method is completed."

"If a normal person wants to take the blue capsule in the two-color capsule medicine box, and happens to see the only blue capsule in the red capsule, he will definitely pick it out and take it first."

"In the surveillance screen, Mr. Bill hesitated for a while when choosing the medicine. It was for this reason that he switched from the original grid to another grid."

"Although the infrared camera cannot capture the color of the capsule, it can still be judged from the direction of the medicine box that he is not choosing the medicine in the grid with the correct color."

After Kudo Yusaku finished explaining, Qin Zhibo came to make up the knife again.

"Actually, I saw Mr. Bill taking the medicine at the door. If the color of the capsule was confused, he would definitely correct it immediately or take it on the spot."

"But he didn't. In other words, only you, the assistant who keeps the medicine box, have the opportunity to replace the capsules during this period."

After the mixed reasoning of the two was finished, the assistant looked shocked, and his legs trembled slightly.

Immediately, he knelt on the ground crying bitterly, and told everyone that his motive for killing was for the children in the school.

It turns out that there have always been many dark places in the Church of Light maintained by Bill Tuttle.

The assistant himself used to teach in church-funded kindergartens and middle schools, or served as the principal's assistant, and violations against students often occurred in these places.

But these incidents all died down in one way or another.

It wasn't until the recent arrest of the murderer of the Childress family that he discovered the darkness in the church and learned of Bill Tuttle's dirty deeds.

So, he wants to avenge those kids.

He replaced the powdered vasopressor in the gel coat of the blue capsule, which is undoubtedly poisonous to Bill Tuttle, who has high blood pressure and heart disease.

Afterwards, the blue capsule was placed in the red capsule, making Bill Tuttle take the "poison" on his own initiative.

　The role of the assistant is taken from the original "True Detective" series, a missionary pastor who quit because he was disappointed by the darkness of the church.

　　The method is what I think, it should be okay...

　　I originally wanted to write back to Neon in one breath, but my hand speed is a bit sluggish...
