Chapter 371 Chen Anxia's Deduction Show! (Please Subscribe!)
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, everyone was stunned, their minds blank for a moment, unsure of how to react.
The soldiers under Ji Lun were also stunned, as if they were shocked by Chen Anxia's words.
But Minowa Shōhei quickly realized what was going on and angrily rebuked Chen Anxia, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mizukami Jirō clearly committed suicide, how could I have killed him?"
Without giving Chen Anxia a chance to react, Ji Lun continued to warn, "I don't know who hired you to deliberately smear me, but I'm giving you a chance. Get out of here right now!"
"Otherwise, you can expect to receive a lawyer's letter. I will definitely sue you for defamation!"
Upon hearing what Minamoto no Shobu said, Chen Anxia's expression remained unchanged, a confident look appearing in his deep eyes.
Upon hearing Minowa Shohei's words, the surrounding fans snapped out of their daze and began to speak up for their idol.
"Who is this person? Why is he spouting nonsense here?"
"I'm probably a hater who's deliberately trying to smear my general."
"Even though he's handsome, you can't just frame him like that for no reason! That's outrageous!"
"Yes, celebrities are afraid of having a stain on their reputation. If there are rumors that they are murderers, it will definitely affect their future careers."
"Hey, apologize to my soldiers right now, or I won't let you off the hook!"
......
Watson frowned slightly when he saw the surging female fans around him and rebuked them, "Ignorant fools! Why do you only believe what he says? Are you sure what he said is true?"
Some female fans were indeed stunned by Watson's words and were speechless for a moment, but some female fans still spoke up for their idol.
"If Mr. Minowa's words cannot be trusted, then what about the police's?"
"Yes, didn't the police already classify the case from four years ago as a suicide?"
"Are you suggesting that even the police can't be trusted?"
"I remember you. Didn't you say you were a huge fan of Mr. Minowa? How come you're standing next to him now?"
"I know, you must be a hater too, pretending to be a die-hard fan of Mr. Minowa. That's really awful!"
......
Watson was truly stumped by these female fans' questions.
They were right; the case from four years ago had indeed been classified by the police as a suicide.
Without uncovering the truth of the case, he really has no right to overturn the police's conclusion that it was a suicide.
But he still wanted to believe Chen Anxia, to believe his own feelings, and to believe that the strange case four years ago was not a suicide.
Without answering, Hua Sheng silently turned his gaze to Chen Anxia beside him.
Not far away, Shinichi Kudo was also stunned after hearing Chen Anxia's words.
After Shinichi Kudo came to his senses, his brows furrowed tightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Shinichi Kudo naturally knew about the strange case from four years ago, and he had already begun searching for the truth behind it after arriving at the ski resort.
Although the police had closed the case as a suicide, Shinichi Kudo's intuition told him that this was not a simple suicide case.
However, because four years have passed since the case was filed, the difficulty of investigating it again has greatly increased.
Even Shinichi Kudo has made little progress in this bizarre case; so far, all the clues in the investigation seem to point to suicide.
The only remaining mystery in the case, namely the bag filled with snow, remains unsolved for Shinichi Kudo.
Under these circumstances, Shinichi Kudo had no idea who the murderer was.
That's why Shinichi Kudo was stunned when Chen Anxia identified Minowa Shohei as the murderer.
Shinichi Kudo never expected that Chen Anxia was also investigating the truth behind the strange case from four years ago, and he never expected that Chen Anxia had already found the real culprit.
So, did Chen Anxia really find the real culprit? Or was the truth that Chen Anxia uncovered itself a lie?
Thinking it over, Shinichi Kudo combined all the clues he knew and tried to lead them to the conclusion that Shohei Minowa was the murderer.
But no matter how much Shinichi Kudo reasoned and analyzed, he couldn't reach this conclusion.
This fact caused Shinichi Kudo to frown. His eyes flickered as he watched Chen Anxia's retreating figure, and he murmured to himself, "Chen Anxia, have you really found the truth?"
"If you really have found the truth, then what clues did I miss...?"
Standing next to Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were also taken aback by the scene before them and exchanged bewildered glances.
Then, Sonoko Suzuki muttered to herself, "No way, could Anxia be the same kind of person as Shinichi, that mystery fanatic?"
On the other side, Kazuha Toyama also did not expect this scene to unfold, nor did he expect that Chen Anxia would be the same kind of person as Heiji Hattori.
After regaining her senses, Kazuha Toyama thought of Heiji Hattori, who was investigating the truth.
Without hesitation, Kazuha Toyama dialed Heiji Hattori's number.
The call was quickly connected, and Heiji Hattori's slightly annoyed voice reached Kazuha Toyama's ears as he said, "Kazuha, I'm busy here. I'll hang up if it's not important!"
Half an hour has passed since Hattori Heiji and Katahina Rikuto parted ways.
This also means that Hattori Heiji has already lost this battle of detectives.
However, Hattori Heiji has not given up yet, still hoping that the truth he has found is different from Chen Anxia's, and that his own truth is the real truth.
Only in this way can Hattori Heiji have a chance to win.
However, Heiji Hattori has been stuck on one problem since the beginning of his investigation, and he still can't get past it.
The question is, if it really was a murder, how did the murderer appear out of nowhere next to Jiro Mizukami?
This gradually made Hattori Heiji irritable.
Just as Hattori Heiji was about to hang up the phone, he heard Toyama Kazuha's voice come through, "Heiji, Chen Anxia has found the truth of the case and is now doing the deduction. Do you want to listen?"
Upon hearing Kazuha Toyama's words, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but show a struggle on his face.
If the contest hadn't even started, Hattori Heiji would have refused immediately.
But now it's different...
After thinking it over, Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and made a decision to listen to Chen Anxia's reasoning.
Only in this way can Hattori Heiji know whether Chen Anxia's reasoning is correct.
If Chen Anxia's reasoning is wrong, it means the truth has not yet been found, and the contest can naturally continue.
If Chen Anxia's reasoning is correct, then...
Just as Hattori Heiji made his decision, he heard Chen Anxia's voice from the other end of the phone, "That's strange. Why didn't you open your mouth when you were talking?"
"Did you use ventriloquism? Or are you not actually Minowa Shobu?"
Chen Anxia's words startled Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori. A flash of inspiration seemed to pass through their minds, but they couldn't quite grasp it.
Chen Anxia did not stop reasoning, and continued to look at Minowa Shōhei, saying, "But if you are not Minowa Shōhei, then how are you able to make Minowa Shōhei's voice?"
Was it sent via mobile phone?
"Obviously not, because you're not holding a phone in your hand. If the sound really came from a phone, then the phone must be in your clothes or pants pocket."
"Under the material of the winter coat, it's impossible for a phone trapped inside to produce the exact same sound as a real person."
"Then, there's only one possibility left."
"That is, the real Minowa Shohei is hiding in the bag on your back, am I right, Mr. Miho Kosuke!"
At that moment, Chen Anxia's words struck everyone like a thunderclap, leaving their minds blank.
Amidst the thunderous roar, Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori seized upon that fleeting moment of inspiration.
Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori's expressions turned serious almost simultaneously, as they thought to themselves, "So that's how it is. That's how the murderer appeared next to the victim!"
As they thought about it, they frowned and murmured to themselves, "But if that's the case, what about the bag full of snow?"
"How did the murderer manage to appear next to the victim?"
......
Chapter 372 The Mysterious Case Concludes, A Moment of Crisis Appears! (Please Subscribe!)
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Ji Lun's soldiers finally began to panic.
This soldier, Minamoto no Shigeaki, lived up to his reputation as someone who could put aside murder cases. Even in this situation, he did not completely lose his composure. Instead, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. What do you mean I was hiding in my bag? This is utterly absurd."
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that I am Minowa Shobei, the real Minowa Shobei."
After speaking, Minowa Shōhei became even more composed.
Ji Lun Jiangbing knew that as long as Chen Anxia was not allowed to check the bag, everything he said could not be verified.
Although doing so might seem like a guilty conscience at the moment, the impact of this incident can be completely eliminated by spending some money to guide public opinion afterward.
As for how to prevent Chen Anxia from checking the bag, it's simple: Chen Anxia isn't a police officer, so he has no right to search his own bag.
After that, once you've left this place, just find a secluded spot and reappear as the Minamoto no Shogun.
Having made up his mind, Minowa Shohei didn't give Chen Anxia a chance to reply, and directly took the initiative, saying, "Just wait for my lawyer's letter. What bad luck, you've ruined my mood for showing off my skiing skills."
As he spoke, Minowa nostalgia did not forget to direct the anger of the fans present toward Chen Anxia, continuing, "Fans, if you have someone to blame, blame the person in front of you."
At this moment, General Minowa was full of confidence, believing that everything was under his control.
However, Minowa Shohei overlooked one crucial factor, which was... the one currently playing the role of his own Miho Kosuke.
The reason Chen Anxia chose to appear at this time is because he had already taken into account the important factor of Miho Kosuke in the timing of his supercalculation.
Chen Anxia was certain that Miho Kosuke would stand by his side.
Chen Anxia was so certain because when Minowa Shōhei casually recounted the Mizukami Jirō case at the restaurant, the murderous intent and deep-seated hatred in Miho Kōsuke's eyes were palpable.
Although Chen Anxia didn't know the relationship between Miho Kosuke and Mizukami Jiro, he knew that Miho Kosuke had already developed murderous intent towards Minowa Shōhei.
In this situation, all he needs to do is demonstrate enough reasoning ability to sway Kosuke Miho to make him waver.
As expected, Miho Kosuke did not act as Minowa Shohei had instructed. Instead, he looked at Chen Anxia and asked in his own voice, "When did you find out?"
As he spoke, Kosuke Miho placed the bag he was carrying on the snow.
As for Minowa Shobei, who was smugly pleased with himself inside the bag, his face showed disbelief, and then his expression gradually became ferocious.
