| File 10: A discovered lie Page 1 Voice: Eh? Mr. Fujisawa is injured!? Fujisawa: Uhh� Iwai: who did it? K: the owner. Kogoro: he pretended to be dead and hid in this house� Kogoro: �killed Ayako in the garage� K: �isolated the mansion, and attacked Mr. Fujisawa with the ice punch� K: �and ran away by breaking the window! Fujisawa: Shit. Why would he want to kill me? Fujisawa: It�s true that we argued sometimes, but it was because we were both fans of Sherlock Holmes� also, it was me who helped him with his book� K: which book? Page 2 Fujisawa: Yeah, last year the owner published a book about Holmes. Its name was �The Mockery of Irene Adler� Fujisawa: He told me that, as I helped him, we would let me take part in the contest� but he may want to pay me for my work this way� Conan: � Conan: Irene Adler� Fujisawa: Anyway, I�ve met Ayako here, in this trip. Why does he treat us like this? Kogoro: Hum, it�s very strange. Kogoro: among all the participants, you�re the only one who knew him in person� Iwai: no, miss Ayako also knew him� Kogoro: eh? Miss Ayako�s father and the sir were close friends, that�s why he invited her to this contest every year� Kogoro: hum, so the attacked ones were all linked with the owner� it�s getting more and more suspicious� Kogoro: Ran, let�s go after the owner! Ran: Yes! Page 3 Heiji: it�s too late! Heiji: no matter how much you search him, you won�t find anything! Heiji: look at this chair! It�s out of its place! Heiji: the murderer used it to break the window and left it this way! Conan: that�s right! It has pieces of glass! Conan: the murderer must have used it! Kogoro: even then, the only thing we know is that the murderer used a chair to break the glass Heiji: but if he/she wanted to run away through the window, why did he/she bother to put the chair in its place? Heiji: maybe he/she didn�t want to leave fingerprints. If he/she threw the chair, he/she wouldn�t have been able to erase them� Heiji: so he/she decided to break the glass and then erase the fingerprints. Heiji: he/she put the chair in its place again, trying to mistake us� Heiji: and, when the electricity returned, as we were occupied, he/she was able to clean off all the fingerprints freely! [Note: as �murderer� is a masculine word, every time I refer to it, I�ll use �he�, ok? Writing �he/she� every time becomes boring� ^__^U ] Page 4 Kawatsu: when the lights went on? Toda: wait a moment, only us were in this room� Heiji: that�s it. Heiji: now you know why the owner can�t be the murderer Heiji: and that same murderer� Heiji: is still among us! Fujisawa: who�s he? Why did he attack me? Kogoro: calm, Mr. Fujisawa� Kogoro: miss� Kogoro: you said the fuses went out, didn�t you? Iwai: y� yes. Iwai: it happened when I tried to connect the coffee machine Iwai: suddenly, the lights went out Iwai: please, come to the kitchen� Page 5 Iwai: �look, it was there. Kogoro: Ahhh, yes, the socket is burnt� Heiji: this is the origin of the power cut� Heiji: there�s a wire around the plug� Heiji: someone prepared it to provoke a short circuit� Kogoro: but where could he get the wire from? Conan: maybe from here? Conan: look Conan: every box has one of these wires attached Kogoro: and it�s the same one as here� Heiji: who opened the boxes? Iwai: Mr Kawatsu and Mr Toganou. Kogoro: Ho, ho� K: now I know� Page 6 Kogoro: the murderer is Mr Kawatsu! Kogoro: Aren�t you? Kawatsu: wait amoment! Kawatsu: I wasn�t alone. There were three more people in the kitchen Kogoro: yes, but you�re the only one who doesn�t have an alibi! The others do have one! Kogoro: they were in the living room when the owner�s car started! Kogoro: and you, hiding from the other three, used the wire from one of the boxes, put it in the socket and provoked the power cut! Kogoro: and then, when all was dark, you attacked Mr Fujisawa with the ice punch, leaded by the lightning! Kogoro: but you couldn�t attack him because of the kids! Kogoro: isn�t that true? Heiji: yeah, if we didn�t push Mr Fujisawa, he would have killed him. Heiji: but I can�t still� believe your explanation, Mouri. Page 7 Heiji: and you, kid? Conan: I also can�t! Conan: the third case, the attack to Mr Fujisawa, is different from the others: the assassin left hints. Conan: it�s like he didn�t plan it� Conan: eh? Ran: Conan�? C: ha, ha, well, I�m still a child, I say sill things� Conan: �don�t trust me! Heiji: � Ran: Right! We mustn�t� pay attention to him, he�s only an amateur! Conan: Shit! Because of them, I have to disguise� Heiji: (Hey�) Heiji: (�that kid is really strange�) Page 8 Heiji: ((this kid isn�t talking nonsense, he knows what he says!) Heiji: (he has the body of a child, but his mind is like Kudo�s�) Heiji: (�Kudo?) Heiji: (yes, the last time I took part in a case, when Kudo appeared, that kid vanished�) Heiji: (�and only came back when kudo�) Heiji: (left the scenery) Heiji: (Ah, then, this kid�) Heiji: (�really is�) Page 9 Heiji: (�nah�) Heiji: (�it can�t be.) Heiji: (nobody can shrink or grow up like that. The one who could do it would be able to commit the perfect crime� It will be better to not think such silly things�) Toda: and you, sir, don�t you find it strange? Toda: if Mr Kawatsu is the murderer, how could he set the garage on fire? He was with us in the owner�s room� Toda: �and, in the first case, before falling off the sea cliff, the car accelerated� Kawatsu: that�s right! Heiji: he�s right, I already understand the second case, but� the first one is still doubtful. K&T: ehh? Toda : then you know who set the garage on fire ? Heiji: yeah� but� Kogoro: don�t trust him at all! I know him, and he tends to make wrong conclusions! Heiji: you have no right to judge me! Page 10 Heiji: I have 4 doubts of the first case� Heiji: first: the owner didn�t appear in all the day� Heiji: �second: the accelerating of the car� Heiji: �third: the strange nois from inside the car, and, fourth, the cloth on the dashboard� Ran: a cloth? Heiji: �yes, it was covering the dashboard� Heiji: �and there�s even another mistery� Heiji: �the owner had his hands firmly seized to the stering wheel! Heiji: and while the car went though the ground, the body didn�t even move� Heiji: first I thought that it could be a suicide, but after the other attacks, I�m sure it not like that Heiji: the owner was murdered before the car started to move, the boy already had the �rigor mortis�! Toda: �rigor mortis�? Page 11 Heiji: After passing awai, the body begins to keep rigid between 30 minutes and 2 hours� and 9-12 hours later, the process finishes and the body ends up completely rigid� Heiji: �and the rigor mortis lasts, more or less, 30 hours. After that, the body loosens� Heiji: that�s why I think that the owner was dead between 9 and 12 hours before falling to the sea� Heiji: �that is, he was killed before yesterday�s dinner. Heiji: but I don�t know why the assassin put the body in the car so soon� Toganou: maybe he wanted it to seem a murder� Toganou: you also believed it when the owner had its hands on the steering wheel, didn�t you? I think that the assassin put the corpse in the car that way before dinner� he waited until the corpse was rigis and, after dinner, went to the garage and started the car� Toganou: that�s why I think that the murderer is one of those who left the living room after dinner� Toda: but, how did the car speed up? Kawatsu: the dead can�t move� C&H:the dead� C&H: �move!? Page 12 C&H: it can�t be! The murderer tricked us� Heiji: and the only one who could do it� Heiji: but I don�t have the proof! Conan: wait a moment�at midday, Ayako was in the corridor with her exam� Conan: if she discovered something in the murderer�s room� Heiji: that�s it!! I�ve got it!! Conan: �all matches!! Kogoro: the assassin is�!! Page 13 Heiji: eh? Kogoro: yes, the assassin is� Kogoro: miss Maria Toda, the fortune-teller!! Toda: what? Kogoro: I�m sure you hypnotized the owner and made him commit suicide! And you did the same with Ayako! Heiji: (what an idiot.) Conan: (I have to make him sleep as soon as possible.) Conan: but I must be careful: Hattori could see me while I speak. Conan: hey, if temperature increases, how does it affect to the rigor mortis? Conan: does the process accelerate? Conan: you know it� Conan: �don�t you? Heiji: � Page 14 Heiji: I don�t know! Heiji: I�m an ignorant! Conan: eh? Conan: (shit, of course he knows it, he�s pulling my leg�) Conan: (fine, then�) Conan: I�m going to the bathroom� Heiji: me too, then. Heiji: oh Heiji: he�s not here. Watch: pi pi pi pi Toda: I�m not a witch! I�m a fortune-teller! H(C): Mouri, stop talking nonsense� Kogoro: what? H(C): �I already know who the murderer is� H(C): I know who did it! Kogoro: eh? H(C): the murderer who� H(C): �provoked three accidents� H(C): �in this house, is� H(C): �YOU!! |
