RNP Chapter 461
Chapter 461
Getting the three children out of the way, Dr. Agasa dug a starfish-sized pit in the middle of the sand in the dish, "This is a pit the size of a pit just enough to put Mr
. Aramaki..." "Then we put Mr. Aramaki, who was drunk and covered in fishing nets, into this pit..."
"Dr. Agasa, isn't this the same as I said before?" Yuanzi, who had been watching, glanced at Conan, and then said to Dr. Agasa.
"That's why I said before that I found it under the inspiration of you in the garden!" Conan glanced at Sonoko and explained in Dr. Agasa's voice.
"This way!" Yuanzi glanced at Tang Zhen and saw that he smiled a little embarrassed, and his mood was better.
"You see, that's all it takes..." Dr. Agasa shook the shell Ayumi had found before pressing it against the starfish.
"Crush a stone on him?" Yuanzi suddenly realized.
"So that's the case..." the Henggou police officer also figured it out, "The deceased was covered with fishing nets, plus a large rock, even if the tide was finally found, there was no way to escape... But in this case, when the body is found, you should also find the
big stone..." "Did you find the big stone?" Officer Henggou turned back to Tang Zhen and asked.
"No... There were only corpses..." Xiao Lan shook her head.
"Of course, if there were stones, they would have been discovered long ago!" Dr. Agasa crouched down by the basin, picked up the bucket containing the seawater, and poured water into the basin as he said, "What if that stone is this shape?"
"Finally the stone floated..." As the sea water increased, the shell finally floated.
"Float up!" Officer Henggou looked at this scene in surprise, and then asked very suspiciously, "But how can stones float up like shells?"
"Wait, that's so..." Before Conan could answer, Officer Henggou finally remembered what he had intentionally or unintentionally ignored before, "That boat..." "
That's right, after the murderer drunk Mr. Aramaki, he wrapped a fishing net around him and put it in a bunker on the beach, and then pressed the boat on him, so that even if he woke up halfway, he couldn't escape because of the pressure on his body, and after he was drowned by the sea, the boat was also pushed away by the rising tide sea, That's why we didn't find the 'stone' that pressed the corpse!
Tang Zhen and Yuanzi saw Dr. Agasa and Conan, and they cooperated without flaws, and turned their heads to look at Ah Cheng, the murderer of the three.
"Hey! Arden..." Yuta looked at the sweaty Ardennes suspiciously.
"Is it really you..." Shinta looked into his gaze, also a little hesitant.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Officer Henggou looked at the silent Ardennes, and seeing that he was silent, he asked Dr. Agasa suspiciously, "What's with the slippers and buttons on that ship?"
"These are just tricks by the murderer, he just wants us to believe that Mr. Aramaki died in the boat... As for the sea water inside, it should increase the weight of the boat..." Dr. Agasa's mouth and Conan's voice matched very well.
"Indeed, according to your words, even if people are not at the beach, they can kill people!" Arden finally spoke, he knew that he had to say something, otherwise he would really be recognized as a murderer, "But why do you say that I am a murderer?"
"Because you know very well the order of the call logs on Mr. Aramaki's phone... Didn't
you say you called Mr. Yuta after he had called..." "Well, that's because I heard Yuta say..." said Arden, pointing at Yuta sweaty.
"Mr. Yuta came at 8 o'clock, and when you called, it was 7:47, how do you know that Mr. Yuta called before you?" Dr. Agasa asked as he matched Conan's voice and stared at Ardennes.
"It's because..." Ardennes began to make excuses as his eyes wandered.
"That's because you already knew that Mr. Yuta had called the deceased... When I was arranging the scene I just mentioned
..." "So it is..." Officer Henggou played a very good role as a cheer.
"I don't know what you're talking about, it's all your guess!" Arden looked at Dr. Agasa a little unnaturally, and then said inwardly, "I just guessed the order of the call records, so it's too irresponsible to say that I am the murderer, right?"
"And according to what you just said, it doesn't prove that I am the murderer at all, you just explained the process of his killing... What does this mean at all? The more Arden spoke, the more confident he became, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at Dr. Agasa.
"Dr. Agasa, indeed, if there is no evidence, it really cannot be proved that he is the murderer!" Officer Henggou can see that Arden is the murderer, but unfortunately now the case is handled with evidence, and if there is no evidence, all suspicions can only be suspicions.
"If all conditions are in your favor, of course I can't have proof!" Dr. Agasa looked at Conan with some surprise.
"Then the fact is in front of me, when the deceased died, I was in a restaurant far away, this is very true..." said Arden to Dr. Akasa with a smug look.
"Who can prove it?" Conan said in Dr. Agasa's tone of indifference.
"What are you talking about? Weren't you there at the time? Arden looked at Dr. Agasa suspiciously, a little confused, what the hell was this old man fighting?
"When was that?" Dr. Agasa asked him with a puzzled look, "I'm sorry, I'm old, it's easy to forget..."
"You guy, I was obviously sitting next to you at the time..." Arden came to Dr. Agasa with an angry face, grabbed him by the collar, and said viciously, "He died at eight o'clock, have you forgotten?" "
“... So it is, learned..." Seeing this scene, Yuanzi had a learned expression, she also suspected Arden before, but unfortunately she couldn't find evidence at all, and she didn't expect to be blown up directly by Conan.
"Because I accidentally heard it when you were on the phone earlier..." On the other side, Arden said with some hesitation when Constable Henggou questioned why he knew the time of death of the deceased.
"That's weird! I received a death report, but there is no exact time of death... It's just an approximate time...," Officer Henggou said, staring at Ardennes with his eyes.
"What are you kidding? The time should be more accurate... It should be evident from the failure of the corpse...," Arden said a little bewildered.
"According to the general situation, this is true, but Mr. Aramaki's body is different, he has been immersed in the sea, and he has been hit by the waves, and it is impossible to predict exactly the time of death." Dr. Agasa's devil's declaration sounded in Ardennes' ears again, "Let's put it this way, even the police can't accurately determine the time of Mr. Aramaki's death, how do you know?"
"..." Forced into a corner, Arden stared at the bald old man in front of him, and he couldn't help but hate it in his heart, but being stared at by a group of people, he could only kneel weakly.
"Ardennes..." Looking at Ardennes, who was kneeling on the ground, Yuta hesitated and asked, "Are you avenging your father?"
"Yes, thank me!" Arden raised his head to look at the two companions, and said with a low smile in his voice, "Eight years ago, it was this guy Aramaki who killed our father at sea... "
Eight years ago, wasn't that an accident that occurred because I insisted on going to sea in a storm?" Officer Henggou had obviously heard about the accident, and he asked with some doubt.
"That wasn't our father's recklessness at all," Arden said as he knelt on the ground and said with a look of reminiscence, "they went to call back Arachumaki, who was not going to sea on a stormy night, but the guy did swing the rudder when the waves were high and knocked our father's boat away with his boat... Even when I saw them fall into the sea, I couldn't save them... And then came back alone!
"I was forcing one of the crew members of their ship to find out!" This can't be wrong! Looking at everyone's disbelieving eyes, Arden said.
"In that case, why don't you call the police?" Shinta asked with a puzzled look.
"Because he suddenly disappeared!" Glancing at some naïve companions, Arden couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I asked about Aramaki, but he said nonchalantly, do you know the perfect way to protect secrets?" It is a secret that two people know, and finally becomes one person who knows that he has accidentally fallen into the sea and cannot find anything!
"So, he killed his crew too!" Yuta asked with a surprised look.
"Even then, you don't have to kill him, so what's the difference between you and him?" Shinta looked at Arden and said seriously.
"What do you mean by that? I've helped you avenge this, huh? I finally mustered up the courage to kill the man for Skywalk... You guys... That's how you guys have this attitude! Arden looked at the two in disbelief.
"You're doing this wrong!" At this time, Xiaolan's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked back and saw her standing in the light, looking at Arden with a serious face and said, "The word courage should mean to fight for justice!" It can't be used as a reason to kill..."
Under Xiaolan's innocent and naïve gaze, although Arden did not agree very much, he still confessed his guilt and followed the police to the police station.
After the case was over, a group of people began to go back to the hotel to rest, and because she had just experienced something to avenge her father, Xiaoran did not have the heart to ask Conan about him and Haibara again.
