Chapter 128 Scarlet - Reasoning
"But I finally solved a mystery. There's something I've always been curious about."
"That's why she asked me to help her investigate the stalker. She obviously has a good friend who is a famous FBI agent."
"What do you mean? Do you mean, because I'm unreliable?"
"I, I guess I'm too embarrassed to ask her for help. After all, the purpose of our visit to Japan is sightseeing."
Amuro Toru smiled, "I see, you are here for sightseeing. If you don't have a visa, your stay should be almost up."
"Since we have had a good time sightseeing, could you please go back quickly?"
"Get out of my country now."
Lingzi raised her eyebrows and said, "As expected, the country is your true love."
I was just an accident.
Conan pulled over and said, "Excuse me, Zero."
"Uh, no, it's Amuro-sama, come here."
Lingzi let go of her arms and let him take her cup.
They went to the window over there to talk in private. Lingzi smiled and said, "It seems that the police officer will take two people back today."
Huibenhua nodded, "Well, it seems so."
Officer Gao Mu looked at Lingzi, "Ms. Lingzi, do you know who the criminal is?"
Lingzi nodded, "This is Tou's home court, let him explain it to you."
Amuro Toru squatted down and listened to what he wanted to say.
"Excuse me, Amuro-sama, you are the enemy, right? To those bad guys."
"Zero. As for my childhood nickname, it's actually true."
"It seems that you have some misunderstandings about me."
Zero is scaring the kids.
Lingzi laughed out loud and walked towards Amuro Toru, who also came over and gave her water.
"Well, it's about time we solve the mystery."
"First of all, I would like to ask everyone to take a closer look at the photo of the test paper. Did you notice anything?"
Lingzi smiled, put down the cup of water, and wanted to go over to see the child, but was stopped again.
Again...
She's going to be angry.
Amuro Toru gave her a look full of smiles.
Well, since you're having so much fun, I won't go.
The kind of observation that can see through the truth of an event in an instant.
On the Suzuki Express, there was a chance to let Haibara Ai go.
And the surprised reaction to the word zero.
Then, what made me even more certain was what I had just said to the FBI agent.
Please, please go back quickly and leave my country.
That belief.
He has always been very sensitive to the number zero, which is also the code name given to him by the non-existent organization.
It is the common name for the public security police who exist to maintain the security and order of Japan.
If he was an undercover agent of the public security department, then, as long as he was told the actual situation, the worst situation should be avoided.
……
Officer Megure begged for mercy, "Okay, brother Amuro. I have surrendered. Can you tell us what is wrong with these test papers?"
"Please take a closer look at the answers to the test paper you can see on the top, and the answers to the test paper underneath."
"For example, the answer to the question 4 plus 5 is clearly 9, but the one above is circled and the one below is ticked."
"Also, on the test paper of this student of Hirakiyo Kaihiko, all the answers were marked with a box, but I don't know why there was a wreath with a perfect score."
"Don't you think this is weird?"
"It's really strange."
……
Toru Amuro looked at them, "Am I right? Agent Judy Stalin."
"Would you please listen to me carefully? After all, I am explaining the part about your good friend being attacked and the perpetrator of that incident."
Amuro Toru replied, "Yes, in Japan, you circle the correct answer and tick the wrong answer."
"But in the United States, you use a check mark to indicate the answer is correct, am I right, Agent Judy?"
Judy looked at them. "Yes, that's not actually a check mark, but a check mark. If the paper is graded by a computer, they will also mark the correct answer in Japan. It's the same as that."
"But why are the wrong answers circled?"
"Does that circle mean that the answer is wrong and needs to be double-checked? But some teachers will also circle the wrong answers, not all of them are the same."
"In that case, does that mean the test paper covered underneath was corrected by Xia Zi, who had just returned from studying in the United States, and the one visible on top was corrected by the Japanese, that is, the criminal, afterwards? Is that right?" Judy reacted.
"Yes. And if you look carefully, the circle on the test paper is very crooked. Don't you think it has exceeded the frame of the answer column?"
"Yes, but what about this?"
"One possible reason is that the criminal's hands are very clumsy. Or maybe he wanted to use a red pen to hide something red."
"Blood stains!"
"I know. The prisoner attacked her here last night, and her blood splattered on the unmarked test papers on the table."
"In order to hide the bloodstains, I used a red pen to draw along the bloodstains and then connected them into a circle, which is why the lines are so crooked."
Amuro Toru nodded, "Correct."
"The question is which of the three people did it?"
"So, do you know who the murderer is?"
"Well of course that's easy, isn't it, Conan."
"Yes, yes, yes, this is a wreath. You can tell by looking at the wreaths in the photos. You can tell who drew the wreath at a glance."
"wreath?"
"Well, let's compare the wreath drawn by Shibuya-sensei with the wreath drawn by the criminal, let's see."
“Is the direction of the vortex different?”
"Ah, it is true. The wreath drawn by the prisoner turned counterclockwise. But it usually turns clockwise."
"In that case, the criminal is neither Mr. Sugamoto, who wiped his sweat with the handkerchief in his right hand, nor Ms. Ueno, who received the handkerchief lent to her by Officer Emoto with her right hand."
"But Mr. Kanri, who wanted to light the cigarette with his left hand, became the only candidate."
Amuro Toru closed his eyes and smiled, then pulled Lingzi into his arms, "Why are you running?"
Lingzi tilted her head and said, "I want to go to the window to watch the sunset."
"Yeah, all right."
Amuro Toru let her go, but Lingzi didn't move. She lay in his arms pretending to be dead, "You are warmer than the sunset. I don't want to go."
Amuro Toru stroked her hair and said, "Go quickly."
Lingzi nodded and left.
"I see. Since the prisoner is left-handed, the direction of drawing the wreath must be counterclockwise?"
"No, I am indeed left-handed, but, but when I draw a wreath, I usually start from the center and work my way out."
"So, the wreaths on those test papers were not drawn by me."
Amuro Toru denied what he said, "No, the strokes of the two flower wreaths both become thinner and disappear in the center."
Amuro Toru walked towards him, "This is the evidence that you drew it in from the outside. You said that just now, right? Because her mind was full of addition and subtraction, a bunch of numbers. That's why she was dizzy and remembered the wrong time you agreed on, right?"
"Primary school teachers are also responsible for teaching other subjects. How did you know that she was marking the math test paper at that time?"
"Okay, now please tell me your reasons. But the premise is that you have an answer other than seeing it at the crime scene."
"Because she laughed, I yelled at her for marking all the papers incorrectly. She said it was a habit she developed when she was studying in the United States, and then she laughed."
"So you attacked her?"
"Because I didn't know it before. How could I know that there are so many differences between the grading methods in Japan and the United States?"
"Indeed, Xia Zi, who did not use the Japanese marking method, also made mistakes, but if you look carefully, you should be able to see them."
"Because I was so angry that I didn't pay much attention."
Gao Mu also came over and said, "So, you said before that your car was stolen..."
"I lied. I was worried that the police might collect her hair or other evidence from the car, so I left it with a friend."
