People are in Mihua, the tea art male god starts the game

"You mean, this guy committed suicide?"

"Death in the secret room, if it is suicide, it makes sense."

The unassertive officer Twilight, a little skeptical, nodded a little in disbelief.

Anyway, whatever the detective says, it's what it is!

"Suicide?"

"The deceased was stabbed in the back."

"If you commit suicide, how can you stab yourself in the back?"

Maori Kogoro questioned loudly.

"Yes!"

"It is impossible for a person to stab himself in the back."

"So, it should still be his murder!"

Officer Twilight clapped his hands and nodded again.

"Uncle, take this knife and try to stab me in the back."

Makoto Higashino took out a pointed kitchen knife similar to a murder weapon from the kitchen and handed it to him.

"Stab you?"

"Is that so?"

Maori Kogoro moved slowly, stabbed him in the back.

"Stop!"

Makoto Higashino suddenly shouted.

Everyone's eyes also converged.

Makoto Higashino: "Don't move! "

"And then?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Although Maori Kogoro did not understand, he also kept the posture of stabbing a knife.

"Uncle, why is the way you hold the knife different from the way the deceased gets the knife?"

Makoto Higashino asked with a smile.

"Different?"

"Where is different..."

Airplanes!

Maori Kogoro looked at the dead man on the ground, and his words stopped abruptly.

The head was even more like an electric shock, blank.

The same pointed kitchen knife, he holds the knife with the blade facing down.

The knife on the body of the deceased was with the blade facing upward.

Normal people take a knife, how can it be a way to hold it with the blade facing up?

This is so weird!

"Brother Maori , what is going on, you have made it clear?"

Officer Twilight urged anxiously.

"Twilight Police Department, you try it with a knife."

Instead of answering, Maori Kogoro handed him the knife.

"I take it?"

"What's wrong?"

Officer Twilight took the kitchen knife and took it in his hand.

However, he still did not understand.

"You are blade down."

Makoto Higashino reminded.

"Blade down?"

"Isn't that normal!"

"Who has a knife with the blade pointing up?"

Officer Twilight said angrily.

What are these detectives doing?

"Yes!"

"And, right in front of your eyes!"

Maori Kogoro pointed to the dead on the ground.

The knife is hit in the back, but the blade is facing upward.

If it was his murder, how could the murderer hold a knife with the blade facing up?

This is an instinctive human self-preservation.

With the blade facing up, it is equivalent to leaving the danger to yourself, and it is not at all like what a murderer who wants to kill people will do.

Moreover, even if they do not use their brains and do not have to think, normal people will naturally choose to face down the blade.

"This..."

"It's really weird!"

Officer Twilight nodded, looking as if he had understood.

"It's strange, but it still doesn't prove that the deceased committed suicide."

Maori Kogoro said.

"What if so?"

Makoto Higashino took the kitchen knife and put it on the ground, the tip of the knife facing up.

Then, with his other hand, he picked up an apple and smashed it hard against the tip of the knife.

Moment!

The pointed kitchen knife pierced the apple.

"This, this is..."

Grunt!

Maori Kogoro swallowed.

"What is it?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Brother Maori and Brother Higashino!"

Officer Twilight urged.

One by one, he already regarded Higashino Makoto as his own.

"If that's the case, this chair makes sense."

Maori Kogoro is like a poor student who has been taught the problem-solving steps by the teacher, and he understands everything at once.

"I mean, the deceased fixed the knife to the floor."

"He was standing in his chair and falling backwards hard."

"Using gravity, using your own weight, stabbing a knife through your back and completing a person's murder."

Makoto Higashino said lightly.

"But what is the reason for this?"

"If you want to commit suicide, you don't need to bother so much, right?"

Officer Twilight asked suspiciously.

Is this deceased full of food?

Or do you want to deliberately get the police into trouble?

"Of course it's to blame her!"

Makoto Higashino smiled and looked at Yoko Okino who was standing in the distance.

"The deceased died in Miss Yoko's house, and the first suspect must be her."

"A popular idol, as a suspect in a homicide, was taken away by the police."

"Even if she is finally acquitted, her reputation will be ruined, and her career will definitely plummet!"

"It's just that the deceased didn't expect that Miss Yoko brought so many people home and directly cleared up the suspicion."

Makoto Higashino explained.

"So it is!"

Officer Twilight nodded.

"Damn it, I actually want to harm the lovely Miss Yoko!"

"This guy is so abominable!"

Before Yoko Okino and Sakae Yamagishi could say anything, Maori Kogoro was already indignant, and he looked like he wanted to whip the corpse for revenge.

"But no tools were found to hold knives at the scene?"

A police officer from the Identification Section asked strangely.

"Wouldn't it be okay to use ice?"

"First fix it with ice, and when the ice melts and turns into water, it disappears from the site."

"This is also the reason why the temperature of the air conditioner is turned on so high, not to affect the judgment of the time of death, but to accelerate the melting of ice and eliminate evidence."

Makoto Higashino explained.

Very simple principle, very simple technique.

Suicides disguised as murder like this often appear in various mystery anime, TV series and movies, and he doesn't know how many times he has watched them.
