Chapter 247 Is it a test? Or a trap?
Murder Villa.
"Hey, Kudo, do you notice anything strange here?"
Hattori Heiji squatted down and whispered to Conan who was observing the "corpse".
Conan withdrew his gaze from the "corpse" and agreed with Hattori Heiji: "It is indeed a bit strange."
"The scene is incredibly complete." Hattori Heiji glanced at the detectives who were carefully observing the situation around him and lowered his voice. "From the details of the scene to the degree of restoration of the 'corpse', it has reached a one-to-one replica."
And that's the weirdest thing.
Generally speaking, if the police really did not find any clues or missed any evidence at the time, then the details of the scene reproduced here would also be ignored.
However, after their investigation just now, they found that the overall condition of the scene was restored very perfectly, with almost no loopholes.
In other words, the clues they can find now must have been found by the police back then.
That's strange. Since the police were able to figure it out back then, why did the Hase family hire a detective to start investigating again nine years later?
"Is this a test from the Hase family?" Hattori Heiji could only guess. "After all, didn't he say that this commission consists of two cases, and this is only the first one?"
Conan pushed his glasses up, his eyes fixed on the detectives around him, and thought: "Maybe... yes."
……
In the garden, the old housekeeper came over, and the two people who were drinking tea put down their cups.
"Master, the others have already investigated everything and now want to see you."
Hase Yuta let out a long sigh: "Looks like it's my turn to take the stage."
Shirakawa Qiu: "Yeah."
Hase Yuta glanced at the mysterious Hei, who didn't follow his plan, and asked, "Aren't you going with me?"
Baichuan Qiu shrugged: "Sorry, I have social anxiety."
Hase Yuta: "..."
He narrowed his eyes and looked the guy up and down.
——I believe your lies.
The old butler walked behind Hase Yuta and pushed the wheelchair.
"As you wish."
Anyway, it's his own territory, and he thinks the other party can't do anything. Hase Yuta waved his hand listlessly, signaling the old butler to take him to the scene.
After the two left, Baichuan Qiu quietly put on his headphones.
Is it that he doesn't want to go there?
They are all bitter tears.
……
When Yuta Hase arrived at the scene, several detectives had already finished their investigation and were standing in front of the villa's gate.
When they saw Yuta Hase, everyone greeted him.
"Ahem, okay, now you can tell me your conclusions."
Hase Yuta said in a calm tone.
"Of course we—"
Before Gao Tianyitang could finish his words, Jackson interrupted him: "Wait, what if our conclusions are different?"
Takada Ichido turned his head and said, "Huh? That's all there is at the scene, how could it be different?"
"The details may also be different. And if some people take advantage of the situation without any clues, wouldn't that be unfair to everyone?" Jackson said as he looked at Hattori Heiji and others.
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes at him: "Ah, yes, I agree."
There are really all kinds of people, and he has broadened his horizons.
As for Kogoro Mouri and Hakuba Tan beside him, they remained silent.
Maori Kogoro was indifferent, still pondering how to handle the commission. Hakuba Tan seemed to be deliberately keeping a low profile, only glancing at the crowd from time to time, as if he was also thinking about something.
Hase Yuta thought for a moment, then whispered to the old butler, "Go get some paper and pen."
The old butler quickly took out paper and pen and handed them to several people.
"Okay, now you have three minutes to write down your reasoning and conclusions," Hase Yuta said. "In the end, I will decide whose reasoning satisfies me the most."
This time, no one objected.
Kogoro Mouri received the note and scratched his head in distress.
To be honest, he probably learned about what happened back then from Megure Juzo, but at most he only knew that the murderer was a professional killer who had long since fled overseas. Apart from that, he could not find any other clues.
Now that Hase Yuta asked him to write it, he really had no idea.
Maori Kogoro thought about it, and finally decided to write according to the conclusion of the police investigation that year -
[Professional killer]
As for him, Hattori Heiji squatted down and spread the note on his palm, muttering with Conan: "I think that's it."
"almost."
"That's it?"
"Row."
After everyone handed in their notes, the old butler handed the sorted notes to Hase Yuta. Hase Yuta glanced at the notes calmly, with little expression on his face, but when he saw one of the notes, surprise flashed in his eyes.
This attitude made everyone present have different thoughts.
"Well, isn't it time to announce the results?" Jackson said impatiently, "Whose reasoning is more satisfactory to Mr. Hase?"
"Indeed, the answer was beyond my expectations." Hase Yuta said slowly, "But what satisfies me most is this note."
He held up a piece of paper and everyone looked over, but they could see nothing.
"The note gave a very detailed profile of the murderer, as if I had actually seen him at the scene. To be honest, I was quite surprised."
Hase Yuta's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Jackson: "Mr. Jackson, your answer satisfies me the most."
"what?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan were in disbelief, but Hakuba Tan shrugged indifferently.
Jackson laughed heartily, casting a sarcastic look at everyone, crossed his arms, and said smugly, "You're all just too bad. You can't even do such a simple on-site deduction. I think you should just leave on your own accord. I'll take care of the rest of the commission."
This way all the money can belong to him, haha——
Maori Kogoro muttered disdainfully: "The villain succeeds."
Hattori Heiji is also very annoyed with this guy.
"Are you sure?" He whispered in Conan's ear, "Is there something wrong with our reasoning? Why does that guy know more than us?"
Why this guy? Even Bai Ma Tan is outshined!
Conan fell into deep thought, and suddenly realized something: "Hattori, maybe what we thought just now was too simple."
Hattori Heiji: "Hmm?"
Conan: "It's not a test, it's a trap."
Hattori Heiji was stunned: "A trap?"
"Yes, we are just passers-by entering the game."
"I have objections!"
At this moment, Takada Ichido suddenly stood up and said.
"The police at the time never came to any conclusions about this case, and there was even less profile of the murderer. How was it that you were able to deduce such a detailed profile of the murderer just by casually looking at the scene?"
Takada Ichido pushed his glasses up. The atmosphere around him was more like a lawyer arguing in court than a detective. "Were you there? Otherwise, how would you know the murderer so well?"
"hiss--"
His words made Kogoro Maori gasp.
"Hey, hey, speaking of which." Maori Kogoro's gaze fell on Jackson's eyes and hair, and he couldn't help but start to think divergently, "That professional killer fled Sakura overnight after killing the man, and the police didn't identify any suspicious people, and their connections turned up nothing... Could it be because the murderer is a foreigner?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Jackson.
Jackson was stunned: "Hey! What kind of bullshit reasoning is this!"
