Chapter 317 Can this kid predict the future?

"It's hard to say what the motive for the crime is, but perhaps we'll get the answer after Conan and the others finish the game.

But as for the evidence, we've already found it, Chairman Sindora. The dagger you used to kill Mr. Kashimura should be the one on the sculpture at the venue, right?"

"Because a large number of celebrities gathered here today, everyone passed through a metal detector before entering the venue, which ruled out the possibility that the murderer brought the murder weapon into the venue.

In other words, the murder weapon was already in the venue from the beginning... Yes, the murder weapon I'm talking about is the dagger on the sculpture."

"But there are so many guests at the banquet. If someone took the dagger, it would be easily noticed, right?"

When Inspector Megure was patrolling the venue before, he naturally discovered the statue that Kudo Yusaku mentioned, but as he said, the statue was in a very conspicuous position in the venue. If someone climbed up to get the dagger, it should have been noticed by no one.

"That's because the murderer had been prepared and pulled it out when the lights in the venue were turned off. After all, when the lights in the venue were turned off, everyone present was basically focused on "Cocoon", the protagonist of the press conference.

In order to avoid being discovered, the murderer specially made a fake dagger out of aluminum foil, and replaced it with the original dagger after committing the crime. As for the aluminum foil dagger, it is relatively easy to destroy.

Of course, the most powerful proof came from when I later asked someone to conduct a light-sensitive reaction and fingerprint investigation on the dagger on the sculpture.

It was discovered that the dagger produced the same blood type reaction as Kashimura, and the fingerprints on the hilt belonged to Chairman Sindorah.

After hearing Kudo Yusaku's reasoning, Inspector Megure, Shiratori and others all turned around in surprise and looked at Sindora behind them.

However, who would have thought that in the face of such irrefutable evidence, Sindora remained calm and said, "Just because of this, you concluded that I was the murderer of Kashimura?

Don't forget, that sculpture was originally moved here by my family. I like that dagger very much, so I play with it often. So there are my fingerprints on it. This is not a strange thing, right? "

However, Kudo Yusaku seemed to have anticipated Sindora's words and took out a videotape from his pocket.

"There are surveillance cameras installed all around this venue, and the videotape in my hand is exactly what was captured by the surveillance cameras before the incident.

Before the incident, the young boy Seiya had approached the statue and removed the dagger from it to play with it. He was eventually scolded by his sister and finally put the dagger back where it belonged.

Hearing this, Inspector Megure revealed a look of sudden enlightenment and said, "I see, that means if the dagger on the sculpture is still the same one, then in addition to Chairman Sindora's fingerprint, there must also be the fingerprint of the young Seiya.

And now since only you, Chairman Sindora, have fingerprints, that means..."

Before Inspector Megure could finish his words, Sindra continued stubbornly, "That's because after the young Seiya touched the dagger, I touched it again, so his fingerprints were covered by me."

Although everyone present knew that Sindora's current explanation was far-fetched, given his identity and status, if they could not produce irrefutable evidence, they really had no way to deal with him.

However, before Sindora could start quibbling for long, Officer Chiba came in excitedly with an evidence bag and said, "Inspector Megure, Mrs. Suzuki just found us and handed us a half-burned aluminum foil dagger.

According to Mrs. Suzuki, her son, Seiya Suzuki, happened to see someone secretly burning something in the underground garbage dump while going to the toilet. Because he found the other person very suspicious, Seiya quickly put out the fire after the person hurriedly left, so the dagger made of aluminum foil was only partially burned.

Comparing the appearance, we found that the aluminum foil dagger is identical to the dagger on the sculpture at the venue, and it also has the fingerprints of the young Seiya and Chairman Sindra.

Hearing what Officer Chiba said, Inspector Megure and the others all turned to look at Sindra and said, "Besides the fingerprints of the young Seiya on this fake dagger, the only other person can be the murderer.

Do you have anything else to explain about this, Chairman Sindor?"

Looking at Seiya touching the dagger in the tape on the screen, and then hearing from Officer Chiba again that the evidence he had not completely destroyed was also discovered by this kid named Seiya, Sindra couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Thomas Sindorah actually fell twice in a row at the hands of a little devil.

If she didn't know it was impossible, Sindora would even doubt whether the kid named Suzuki Seiya had the ability to predict the future.

Seiya: (￣￣), yes, you guessed right. After eliminating all possibilities, the last impossible one is the answer.

What Sindra didn't know was that Seiya didn't want to be in the spotlight, but he had no choice.

After he pretended to be cool and blew up Hideki Moroboshi's football, he realized that it was important evidence to prove that Sindora killed Kashimura.

In the original plot, the person who left fingerprints on the sculptured dagger should have been Hideki Moroboshi. Because he was playing football at the venue, he accidentally kicked the dagger off and then picked it up again.

But this time, the footballs of Hideki Moroboshi's group of rich second-generations were blown up by himself. If he hadn't kicked down the sculptured dagger, how could he have left fingerprints to prove that Sindora was the murderer.

So in the end, out of helplessness, Seiya could only replace the other party and become the boy who left fingerprints.

This is why there is a scene in the video where Seiya reaches out to grab the dagger out of interest and is scolded by Sonoko.

As for picking up the aluminum foil dagger that Sindora used to destroy evidence, that was really just a coincidence.

Because the plot had changed a bit, Seiya was worried that his pretentious behavior would get him into trouble, so he took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and planned to get the evidence of Sindra's crime in his hands.

Who knew that what was different from the original plot was that Sindora, who had originally just thrown the aluminum foil dagger into the underground garbage dump, actually tried to completely destroy the evidence with a fire this time.

Fortunately, after the other party lit the dagger, he left in a hurry to avoid leaving the venue for too long and causing suspicion from others.

As soon as the person left, Seiya quickly stepped out from the side, put out the fire on the dagger, and handed the evidence to Suzuki Tomoko, asking her to hand it over to the detective in charge of the investigation at the appropriate time.
