201 The Train and the Detective 6

Conan was sent aside by Okino to look for evidence, while Detective Poirot stood behind Okino and faced him, forming a perfect shield, so Okino could use his magic eye with confidence.

Magic circuit, open.

Start working the magic

Activate inheritance engraving

Override and complete many projects

At this moment, the convergence is completed to form the magic eye!

The magic eye opened, and then Okino pretended to continue checking the corpse, but in fact, he used the magic eye to further grasp the corpse's information.

Name:Edward Ratchett

Identity: Rich American businessman

Age:36

Cause of death: He was stabbed twelve times in the abdomen and died of excessive bleeding.

Time of death: zero o'clock, the error before and after is no more than five minutes

The silver light in his eyes slowly dissipated, and Okino straightened his back again.

"I have seen that the deceased, Mr. Ratchett, died around early this morning."

"Early in the morning..." Detective Poirot thought about it carefully and found that the time of death was correct. However, what puzzled him was why the other party was so sure that the deceased's death time was in the early morning. Based on his experience, he could only

It was determined that the time of death of the deceased was no more than two hours. But the other party accurately gave the word "early morning". Is this nonsense?

No, the other party's performance just now has already shown this. Okino is indeed a knowledgeable person, and there is no possibility of talking nonsense.

If not, then why?

Looking at Okino, Poirot vomited out all the questions in his mind.

On the other hand, Okino just smiled softly and said the word "confidential", which made Poirot have to suppress the doubts in his heart.

"Now that the time of death has been determined, the only thing left is the alibi of those people. Since this is a luxury box, I believe the murderer is among these people." Okino subconsciously believed that the murderer was among those people.

I never thought about outsiders committing the crime, because... with Conan here, there is absolutely no possibility of outsiders committing the crime.

Returning to the case, Poirot adjusted his hat and said solemnly: "Yes, the murderer should be in this carriage, and there should be more than one murderer."

Okino added: "Of course, if the murderer did it deliberately, that would be a different matter."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

"By the way Conan, do you have any clues over there?"

"Yes, look." Conan carefully arranged the evidence with his handkerchief.

There are two pieces of evidence. The first is a cigarette cleaner, a long strip, which looks very ordinary and clean. The second is some burnt black paper scraps, which can be vaguely seen if you look closely.

I read some of the handwriting on it, but it was all in English that Okino couldn't understand.

Okino took a brief look at it and handed it over to Detective Poirot. Compared to Conan and Okino, Poirot, a 'local', could more easily discover the connection between these clues.

"Detective Poirot, these pieces of paper are written in some English. You know I don't understand English. Also, this pipe may be an item accidentally left behind by the murderer."

Taking the evidence, Detective Poirot slowly discovered that these pieces of paper seemed to have been torn from some kind of book and then burned. As for the pipe cleaner, just ask the noble young masters and ladies, and everything will naturally come to light.

"By the way Okino, just to be safe, let's search the deceased. Maybe there will be traces of the murderer on him."

"good."

A minute later, Okino found four items on the deceased Ratchett, a high-end handkerchief with an h written on it, a threatening letter, a watch fixed at 0:50 and...a pistol.

"Pistol?" Conan was shocked when he saw the pistol in Okino's hand.

"Now the question is, what on earth did the murderer do to make Mr. Ratchett intoxicated with drugs such as anesthesia without anyone noticing? Since he has a gun to defend himself, first rule out the possibility of being tough. Perhaps he can only use food or water.

Only then is it possible.”

Poirot echoed: "Yes, analysis of the clues at this stage can rule out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime, and these physical evidences were deliberately left at the scene by the murderer. The reason is still unclear. And generally speaking, the murderer will commit the crime.

Try to avoid leaving items related to yourself, but this case is just the opposite."

Okino: "Yes, this is a big suspicion. And I think it is necessary to check whether there are any traces of needle injection on the arms of the deceased."

The result, of course, is that there is no such thing. The inference of injecting anesthetic drugs through a needle tube is not valid!

"It seems that the only way to survive is through food and drinking water. Is it when we were eating in the restaurant? I remember that I didn't see Mr. Ratchett at that time." Okino briefly recalled that he should not have seen him during the dinner in the evening.

This person is the right person. Because Mr. Ratchett's appearance is easy to recognize, a bit like Howard Stark. If you meet Okino, you will definitely be deeply impressed.

Detective Poirot also thought about it: "Yes, I was having dinner with my friend Mr. Bianchi at that time, and I also noticed those people. Mr. Ratchett should not have attended the dinner."

"I see, this makes things clear. It seems that one of them should have delivered dinner to Mr. Ratchett, which caused him to be intoxicated with drugs such as narcotics." Thinking of this, Okino

He raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong with his reasoning.

"Speaking of which, considering Mr. Ratchett's personality, would anyone in that group of people bring him dinner, and would Mr. Ratchett come alone?" Okino glanced at Poirot.

Poirot shook his head: "You can only know this by asking them, but I know that Mr. Ratchett brought his secretary here. When Mr. Ratchett came to me for protection in the afternoon, his secretary was also present."

"Secretary, then the possibility that he committed the crime is very high, but it cannot be ruled out that someone else drugged him and his secretary carried it in. As for the truth, you two detectives need to determine it." This is the end of the analysis.

, Okino has done almost everything he can do, and there is nothing he can do about the rest.

To be honest, this was the first time for him to think about the case so seriously.

Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding and showed a confident smile that is unique to detectives.

"Okay, I'll leave the next work to you. I'll go to my uncle's place to have a look. Something happened there and I, the forensic doctor, need help."

Poirot paused and was a little surprised: "Did there also be murders over there?"

Okino nodded: "Yes, it seems that a jewelry store owner was killed."

"Oh, that's really too bad." Poirot looked regretful, "Do you need my help?"

Although it was their first meeting, Detective Poirot had a pretty good impression of the young forensic doctor in front of him.

"Thank you, but I think this kid is enough to solve the case. If you want to help me, solve this case as soon as possible, and then ask him to come over and help me. After all, this is Neon, and an old and beautiful wealthy businessman is dead.

Nothing makes sense here."

"Yes, you are right." Regarding this point, Poirot, the Belgian detective, was also helpless.

"Haha, okay, I'll leave first. I wish you all the best."

After Okino left, Poirot lowered his head and looked at Conan: "Little detective, we will be very busy next. There are many people who need us to question, so let's work hard together."
