| Volume 13 � File 1 Page 1 File 1: Real Identity [Note: from now on, everytime I write Heiji, it�s Conan talking in Heiji�s place, ok?] Page 2 Heiji: that�s it Heiji: the first victim was the owner of this mansion, Mr Kanaya, whose corpse was put in a car and thrown over a cliff� Heiji: �the second one was miss Ayako, burnt when the garage was set on fire Heiji: and a few minutes ago, in this same room, someone tried to murder Mr Fujisawa with an ice punch Heiji: the responsible of these three attacks� Heiji: �is you!!! Page 3 Kogoro: eh? K: me? Heiji: no, no. H: the sweating one, behind you� Heiji: �Toganou!! Heiji: it was you!! Toganou: wait� wait a moment, please!! Toganou: I had been here many time before the owner�s car began to move�!! Toganou: �and when Ayako died, I was with you� Kogoro: ho, ho, ho! Page 4 Kogoro: don�t say silly things!! Conan: (ah�) Conan: (darn it! He�s going to wake him up) Ran: but, dad� Kogoro: this kid only want to laugh at us! Kogoro: you were with Toganou when the car began moving, weren�t you? Kogoro: how do you want him to start the car from here? Heiji: yes, it may seem impossible� Heiji: but I think he took advantage from the rigor mortis process to start the car� Heiji: yeah� Heiji: thae trick consists in put the owner, who was dead hours ago, in the driver�s seat, stepping on the brake. As time passes, the corpse turns more and more rigid and its foot keeps stepping the brake. This way, even if the car is started, it won�t move. Then, with the garage door opened before having dinner, you only have to wait in the living room for the corpse to loosen, the foot loosens also and stops stepping the brake. Page 5 Kogoro: what a silliness!! Rigor mortis only disappears 40 hours after the death� Kogoro: �you yourself told us before Heiji: but only if the temperature is low. Kogoro: eh? Heiji: with a temperature around 35�C, a corpse begins to loosen between 24 and 30 hours later Heiji: the last time we saw the owner was yesterday at 10 pm. Let�s suppose he killed him right after that. Heiji: The car began to move today around 3 am, 29 hours later after we saw him for the last time� Heiji: �the noise from inside the car wasn�t from the air conditioned, it was from the heating! Heiji: if the air conditioned was connected, there would be water drops next to the wheel�s prints. Heiji: as it�s very hot, they would drop in a minute Ran: you were looking at the wheels� prints, weren�t you, Hattori? Heiji: ye, and I didn�t find a single water drop Kogoro: but if the police recovered the corpse and made an autopsy, the trick would be discovered� Page 6 Heiji: That�s why the corpse had to be thrown down the cliff!! Heiji: that way the time of the death wouldn�t be revealed!! Toda: but how did the car get to speed up? Heiji: because the ground is irregular and the foot on the brake loosened more and more. Heiji: and the cloth covering the dashboard Heiji: �was there to avoid someone seeing the heating on� Kawatsu: Ah, that way is really easy to make the car move while the murderer is resting in the living room� Toda: it�s a perfect alibi! Ran: then, Toganou wanted Ayako to stay with him to have a witness� Ran: �who could say that he was in the living room when the car was moving. Heiji: �that�s it! Heiji: only Toganou could have an alibi like that Toganou: ha, ha, how interesting� Toganou: �you think like a mistery novel fan Page 7 Toganou: it�s a pity you don�t have proofs to corroborate your hypothesis. Toganou: and it�s raining, so forget about the air-conditioned� water drops! Also, when the garage burned, I was inside the house� Toganou: Whatever you say, there isn�t anything that demonstrates that it was me who set the garage on fire when Ayako was inside. Heiji: you�re wrong Heiji: you only had to tell Ayako that� Heiji: the famous 1st edition was under the rear seat of the car Toganou: � Kogoro: the book? What does it have to do with the crime? Heiji: did you forget it? The car of the garage was battery-emptied, and all the fuel spread all over the floor. Heiji: no matter how much Ayako wanted to use the car lights, she couldn�t do it� Heiji: Kogoro, what would you do? Kogoro: Humm� if it�s dark� Kogoro: I would use a lighter� Page 8 Kogoro: that�s it! A lighter! Kogoro: Ayako used her lighter to look for the book! Kogoro: and she set on the fuel on the floor� Iwai:she herself provoked the fire! Shimuzu: that�s how you kill someone without even touching her Kawatsu: but if she was his alibi for the first murder, why kill her? Heiji: because he already had 4 more people, he didn�t need her. Ran: but Ayako was his girlfriend, wasn�t she? Why�? Heiji: because she discovered him! Heiji: Ayako knew that the assassin was Toganou, and also discovered the rigor mortis trick! Heiji: Do you remember that Ayako told us that she discovered the assassin�s identity? Heiji: that�s why Toganou went with her to the bathroom! And told her about the book to make her go to the garage! Kawatsu: he was the only one who was alone with Ayako� Toda: that�s why Ayako changed her mind! Page 9 Toda: then he had to improvise the garage thing, isn�t it? Heiji: no, he had already planned to kill someone that way� someone who, like Ayako, always had a lighter on� Heiji: the trap of the garage� Heiji: �was to� Heiji: �kill Mr Fujisawa! The assassin wanted him to die! Kogoro: what!? Fujisawa: ehhh!?? Heiji: yeah, and the card in Mr Fujisawa�s room�s door was to make him go to the garage and kill him there. Heiji: but had to change his plans when he sent Ayako to the garage. That�s why Toganou provoked the short circuit with the coffee machine and attacked Mr Fujisawa with an ice punch� Kogoro: ah� that�s why there are so many proofs from this third attack� Heiji: �Toganou was in the kitchen and had the chance to manipulate the plug� Heiji: that�s why I�m sure that the only one who could commit the three murders was Toganou. Page 10 Toganou: you can say what you want� Toganou: �but you don�t have proofs� Toganou: haven�t you hurried a bit in your deductios? Heiji: did you forget that yesterday Ayako found� Heiji: �something in your room? Toganou: bah! What she found doesn�t matter! Toganou: whatever it was� Toganou: I�m sure she didn�t tell anyone about it. Heiji: first question Heiji: is Holmes left-handed? Toganou: what�!? Heiji: second: what�s the name of Watson�s wife? Toganou: �what�s this about? Heiji: well, I suppose you also answered the questions from the exam, didn�t you? Toganou: what? Page 11 Heiji: and now question#241: what did the letter that Holmes sent to the murderer using the dancing figures� code say? I remember that one: the message was �come here at once� Toganou: ha, ha, ha. Do you want me to show my knowledge about Holmes right now? Toganou: what do you want�!? Shimuzu: it�s that tthis question wasn�t in the exam Toganou: what!? Toda: the question about the dancing figures was� Kawatsu: �write the symbols of the dancing figures� code�� Heiji: that�s it. That question is too difficult to forget it� it�s funny you got mistaken Toganou: it�s because� Heiji: Ayako went into your room to copy your answers, or to ask you! Heiji: but you weren�t there� Heiji: �you were in the garage preparing the owner�s corpse in the car Iwai: then� Ran: �what Ayako saw was�! Page 12 Heiji: That the exam sheet� Heiji: was all blank! Toganou: � Heiji: and why was it blank? �because it was no use answering it Heiji: you already knew� Heiji: �that the owner wouldn�t be alive to pick up the exams! Heiji: if you think I�m wrong� show us your exam Heiji: come on! Page 13 Toganou: shit! Fujisawa: damn you ! Fujisawa: why!? Fujisawa: why did you want to kill the owner and me!?? Heiji: because of �The Mockery of Irene Adler� Heiji: the book he wrote, and the one you helped writing, Mr Fujisawa Fujisawa: what!? Ran: Irene is an actress who tricked Holmes, isn�t she? Iwai: yes, but in this book Holme�s mistakes during his investigation are pointed out� Kawatsu: Toganou considers that they laugh at Sherlock Holmes� Toganou: bah Toganou: it�s the opposite� Page 14 Toganou: Irene was the only woman in the world Sherlock admired Toganou: �I can�t believe she laughed at Holmes� Toganou: but I couldn�t forgive them� Toganou: �because they gave such a negative version of the facts, laughing at all the Sherlock Holmes� studies in Japan� Toganou: �they couldn�t� Toganou: �they couldn�t� Toganou: �uh� Kogoro: bah K: you didn�t doubt to kill your girlfriend, poor girl. [Note: now, when I write Heiji, it�s Heiji himself, and Conan is Conan himself also, ok? ^__^] Heiji: Uaaah. Ran: Great, Hattori!! Ran: you�re the best detective of the West!! Heiji: � Page 15 Heiji: of course!! Heiji: it was really easy!! I didn�t think much!! Conan: uf� I think nobody noticed the trick� Heiji: thanks� Heiji: thanks� Kogoro: who�s going to tell the police? Kawatsu: I�ll go Ran: eh? And Conan? Ran: Conan! Conan: ah� Conan: I�m here, Ran. Heiji: hey� Conan: eh? Page 16 Heiji: You�re Kudo, aren�t you? Conan: what�? Page 17 Conan: �what are you saying? Don�t you see I�m a child? Heiji: you won�t trick me! You imitated my accent really bad! Heiji: and you deformed my voice with this! Heiji: I saw how you used it Conan: ah� ah� Conan: when�? Heiji: I�ve been listening to you since the rigor mortis thing. Heiji: you spoke strangely, but the way of thinking and make deductions are the same as Kudo�s I�m sure of it. Conan: but, hey, it�s impossible, look at me, I�m a child� Heiji: then you won�t mind if I talk with Ran, will you? Conan: �I don�t mind! Heiji: hey, Ran, can I talk to you? Conan: � Heiji: the thing is� Conan: � Conan: �wait a moment!!! Page 18 Heiji: what? They made you shrink with a drug? Heiji: and until you discover which organization it is, you hide in the house of the girl you like� Conan: b� but I don�t like her� she�s a nuisance. Heiji: �you don�t? Ran: it�s so goos you finally became friends! Conan: y�yeah Heiji: do you want to know what did Kudo say about you, Ran? Ran: eh? Heiji: he told me you�re a nuisance! Ran: a nuisance�? Conan: bastard� Heiji: that�s for making me sleep, Kudo. |
