Mouri Kogoro asked: "What basis do you have for saying that he is the murderer? Let me tell you, when the hotel owner started the car, weren't you also with Mr. Toba? You can tell me, how could he start the car when he looked like this? Where’s the car?”

Wu Fan said: "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible, but if you use the rigor mortis and certain functions of the car, the impossible can become possible."

Mouri Kogoro was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Oh! I understand." Hattori Heiji suddenly realized.

Wu Fan continued to reason: "The trick is like this. Let the hotel owner who died exactly one day ago sit in the driver's seat and fix him with his foot on the brake. After half a day, the body will become stiff, even if the engine Even if it's on, the gear will shift to forward gear, but because the brakes are on, the car still won't move."

"Then I can open the garage before dinner last night and be with everyone, slowly waiting for the body to soften. Then my foot on the brake will be released, and the car will start naturally."

Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully: "You big idiot! After a person dies, it will take more than forty hours for the stiff corpse to gradually begin to soften. Don't forget, this is what you just said."

Hattori Heiji explained: "If the temperature outside is relatively high and the temperature around the body is as high as 35 degrees, the rate of rigor mortis and softening of the body will be accelerated. It will gradually soften in as long as twenty-four to thirty hours. .”

Wu Fan said: "That's right! The hotel owner disappeared after ten o'clock the night before yesterday. Now let's assume that he was killed immediately at that time. The car was started at about 3:30 this morning, about twenty-nine hours later. , doesn’t the time match up well?”

"The sound like wind coming from inside the car is actually not air-conditioning, but heating. If the air-conditioning is on, there should be water dripping next to the front wheels. This is the result of my investigation."

Ran Mouri asked: "That's why you checked for tire marks at that time."

Hattori Heiji replied: "Yes, as expected, there are no traces of water dripping anywhere."

Mouri Kogoro asked: "But that kind of trick can be easily understood by just doing an autopsy?"

Hattori Heiji continued: "So the murderer guessed that he needed to let the boss's body fall off the cliff together with the car, because if the body could not be found, there would be no way to investigate the rigor mortis after death."

"So, why did the car accelerate suddenly?" Toda asked.

Wu Fan replied: "That may be because the road was bumpy and the corpse's feet slipped off the brake pedal. In addition, regarding the blanket covering the dashboard, it was used by the murderer to prevent the murderer from seeing it when approaching the car. It’s because the heater light in the car is on.”

Kawazu said: "I see, then as long as you are in the house with someone and witness the car starting by itself, you can create a perfect alibi."

Ran Mouri said: "At that time, Mr. Toba forced Miss Ayako to stay in the living room. It turned out that the reason why he did this was to create a witness who witnessed the car starting with him."

Wu Fan nodded and said: "Yes, that's it! Moreover, the only person who can do this is Miss Ayako's companion, Mr. Toha."

Toba laughed loudly, still refusing to admit it: "Hahaha... It's really interesting. Your reasoning is as interesting as reading a novel, but it is a pity that there is no evidence to prove that I am the murderer! "

"And I have repeatedly emphasized that when the fire broke out in the garage, I was staying in the house with everyone, so no matter what, when Ayako came to the garage, there was nothing I could do to light the fire."

Facing the extremely arrogant murderer, Wu Fan looked calm, as if he had already guessed what he would say.

I saw Wu Fan say: "No, you can! And the method is very simple, you just need to tell her one thing, that is, the first edition of Sherlock Holmes is hidden under the back seat of the car in the garage."

Toye's face changed drastically: "What did you say!?"

Mouri Kogoro looked confused: "First version? What on earth is going on? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "Have you forgotten? The car in the garage at that time was not only leaking oil, but also the battery was dead. Even if you wanted to find the book, the back seat would be blocked by the lights in the car. There is no light, but darkness. What would you do if it were you?"

Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and said: "How to do it? There is nothing you can do in the darkness. By the way, just find a lighter. In order to find the book, Miss Ayako lit the lighter, and the flame of the lighter , ignited the gasoline leaking from the car."

Ran Mouri asked: "So she was the one who started the fire?"

Kawazu asked: "But, didn't you say she was an important witness in the first murder case?"

Wu Fan explained: "Besides her, there are five other witnesses. There is no need to keep her alive."

Ran Mouri said in disbelief: "But Miss Ayako is Mr. Toba's 580 girlfriend [Why did Mr. Ye kill her?"

Wu Fan said calmly: "The answer is very simple. The reason why Miss Ayako was killed was because Miss Ayako exposed the trick of rigor mortis after death and also had evidence that Mr. Toba was the murderer, so he could only choose to kill to silence him. "

"Everyone should still remember that Miss Ayako suddenly said that she already knew who the murderer was. After hearing this, Mr. Toha became very anxious and pretended to follow her to the bathroom. In fact, he was planning for her to search in the garage. that book."

Kawazu said: "If you put it this way, Mr. Toha was alone with her at that time."

Toda added: "So, after she came out of the toilet, her attitude changed drastically. Mr. Toba is really amazing, he can think of such a subtle trick."

Wu Fan objected: "No, because that plan was originally prepared for another person. Fortunately for the murderer, Miss Ayako was the same as that person. Both of them had lighters on them. Yes, they were in the garage. The trap was actually set to burn Mr. Tengzao to death."

After hearing Wu Fan's reasoning, everyone was shocked, especially Fujisawa, who looked ugly. .
