Chapter 1787 1786 [Case closed]

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "Well, actually, this case is not difficult at all." He raised his finger and pointed to the banquet table beside him, "I just asked the staff to bring a mini microphone. Councilman Takada last night He had this thing on his chest when he was shot."

The Mu Mu Police Department didn't even notice when Jiang Xia was looking for a staff member. He walked over and curiously picked up the small microphone the size of a brooch and looked at it: "What's wrong with this microphone?"

While he was studying the thing, Conan raised his head and looked at Jiang Xia. Then this elementary school student, who had a low sense of presence among adults, quietly ran to the black braid and tugged on his trouser leg.

The little braid lowered his head and looked at him: "?" When did a child sneak into the venue? Do I need to tell the police and throw this guy out?

 Conan didn’t know what thoughts were running through this man’s mind.

　　He showed a mysterious smile to the pigtail, and then lowered his voice like the mastermind behind the scenes and said: "The remote control is in your hand."

ˆPigtail: "!"

 …

Not far away, Jiang Xia was still talking about the mini microphone with the Mumu Police Department: "This banquet hall uses the latest lighting device, which can automatically position itself, which is very convenient."

The Mumu Police Department stared at the small machine in confusion: "Does this have anything to do with the case?"

“Of course it does, and it’s very relevant,” Jiang Xia said. “For example, it was one of the weapons used to assassinate Representative Takada.”

“So…wait a minute, Representative Takada?!” Megure Police Department’s heart skipped a beat, “Did you say something wrong? The murderer was targeting President Ishimoto, and Representative Takada was just unlucky to be killed!”

Jiang Xia shook his head and expertly began to restore the script: "On the surface, this is indeed the case, but in fact, the murderer just wanted to use the murder of President Ishimoto as a cover to assassinate Representative Takada.

"So before the case occurred, the murderer found a way to find the hacker who had a problem with President Ishimoto, and sent a threatening letter to President Ishimoto, disguising President Ishimoto as his target. These were all used by him to give himself A tactic to get away with it.

“When the banquet started, the real murderer used a lighting device to shoot and kill the deceased while he was passing by President Ishimoto.”

"Wait, wait." Memu Police Department was confused again, "Did the real murderer fire the gun? But at that time, many people saw the hacker alone on the lighting console where the gunshots were heard after the shooting. Standing, could it be that the real murderer escaped before him?"

Jiang Xia pointed to the mini microphone he still held in his hand: "The real murderer was actually standing in the banquet hall the whole time, and he didn't need to climb up to the second floor to shoot.

“When Congressman Takada was shot and killed, he was about to take the stage to give a speech. At that time, in order to highlight him as a speaker, the lights in the audience were turned off, and only a beam of lighting followed him.”

Jiang Xia raised his head and looked at the lighting control room on the 2nd floor: "That beam of light came from a lamp on the 2nd floor. The lamp will automatically sense the microphone that Senator Takada has on his heart, and follow the movement of Representative Takada. And turn.

“So the murderer only needs to determine the angle in advance, fix a pistol on the side of the lamp, place a remote control device behind the gun, and connect it to the trigger of the pistol.

"In this way, the gun will follow the rotation of the light and always lock on the heart of Representative Takada. The real murderer does not need to hold the gun himself. As long as he quietly holds the remote control, he can kill Representative Takada on the spot at any time. He does not even need to hold the gun. Perform additional aiming. “So the murderer finally chose to press the remote control when Representative Takada passed by President Ishimoto. Once a shooting occurs, it doesn't take long for crews to turn the lights back on. At this time, some keen guests will look in the direction of the gunfire.

"As long as the murderer divides the work with the hacker in advance and asks the hacker to go to the lighting control room after the lights are turned off, take off the gun and motor and escape after shooting, everyone will see the hacker standing at the shooting location when the lights turn back on. He looked like that, and then thought that he shot Representative Takata. This way the murderer could remove himself from the case completely."

The Mumu Police Department was shocked: "This is too cunning... So who did this?!"

　　A voice suddenly intervened: "Of course it's President Ishimoto, the 'victim' himself."

A few people looked around and saw Pigtail standing by the wall, showing a confident and arrogant smile. At first glance, he looked a bit like Conan.

Little Pigtail followed Jiang Xia's words and reasoned: "The person who killed the congressman was President Ishimoto - to be honest, I already have evidence of his crime."

As he spoke, he raised a box half the size of a palm and shook it toward President Ishimoto.

President Ishimoto was stunned for a moment: "What is this."

The pigtail smiled and said: "At this point, you still want to pretend to be stupid? This is the remote control device that the detective said. Just press it to control the motor behind the gun to start, allowing the bullet to penetrate Representative Takada's chest. What a coincidence. , I found it in your company just an hour ago."

Beside him, the parliamentary secretary looked shocked: "Is this so? It's so insidious!"

The braid ignored him and continued to look at President Ishimoto and said: "Are you really brave, are you not afraid that your gun will be missed and kill you accidentally? But now it seems that this courage has indeed brought you enough rewards. To It’s not that I didn’t hide the physical evidence, maybe you really got away with it—that’s right, that detective over there.”

Jiang Xia looked at him when he heard the sound, then looked at Conan who was quietly giving him a thumbs up next to the braid, and said cooperatively: "But there is a problem. The reason why Representative Takada walked next to President Ishimoto was because of his The secretary silently guided him along the route when he was distracted.

“In other words, the only people who can give the murderer the opportunity to pretend to assassinate President Ishimoto are Representative Takada himself and his secretary.”

The parliamentary secretary's heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, the suspicion suddenly fell on him - his previous hunch was not wrong, this detective was indeed trouble!

Fortunately, the physical evidence was delivered to the place where it should be in advance. He bit the bullet and tried to pin the suspicion on President Ishimoto: "President Ishimoto must have said hello to Mr. Takada in advance, so Mr. Takada would go there specially. Give him a chance to show his face—otherwise, how would you explain the remote control in President Ishimoto’s office! Who else could be the murderer besides him?"

The pigtailed man suddenly laughed sinisterly.

The well-informed secretary to the parliamentarian was suddenly overcome by his laughter and gave him goosebumps: "...Why are you laughing!"

Pigtail Man: "I said before that I found the remote control in Mr. Ishimoto's company, but I never said that it was placed in his office. But you seem to be very sure of the location of the remote control. "
