Chapter 381 Pretending to be an accidental suicide
"Suicide?" Hui Yuan Ai raised his eyebrows.
"That's right!" Conan smiled confidently.
He was like a star who gracefully stepped onto the stage, waiting for the expectant cheers from the fans in the audience.
But Hui Yuan Ai didn't answer his words at all.
She just replied lukewarmly:
"So what?"
"Whether it's suicide or an accident, as long as it can be proven that it has nothing to do with Lin Xinyi."
Conan choked hard:
This woman only thinks about her boyfriend and has no curiosity about the truth.
He suddenly lost his "praise" and didn't know how to continue to finish this reasoning "cross talk".
"Ahem, you may want to ask now."
"I do not want."
"Why did I say Mr. Zhang Tian committed suicide?"
"boring."
"."
Conan resisted Miss Haiyuan's eyes and forcibly changed the "cross talk" to a stand-up one.
He couldn't wait to tell the truth he discovered:
"Look, the few drops near the power socket are suspected to be water droplets dripping from Mr. Zhang Tian's body."
"Unlike the previous string of water droplets left by Mr. Zhang Tian when he moved, they are concentrated in a small area and distributed very densely."
"This means that during the time when the water was dripping, Mr. Zhang Tian should have been standing here motionless, always maintaining the same posture."
"And look at the floor between the power socket and the separate bathroom."
Conan paused slightly and said emphatically:
"On this short stretch of road that can be walked in just a few steps, you won't see any drops of water."
"What does this mean? It means that after Mr. Zhang Tian washed his hands, the amount of water remaining on his hands was not too much, and the dripping speed was relatively slow."
"Otherwise, there should be water dripping during the short journey from the sink to the power outlet."
"And if the water droplets dripping speed itself is relatively slow"
"That means that the period of time that Mr. Zhang Tian remained 'still' here was longer than we thought."
After saying that, Conan deliberately walked outside the scene.
I ran to the nearby men's room, dipped an appropriate amount of water on my hands, and then found a place to stand in a daze.
The conclusion is drawn through this less rigorous imitation test:
If he wanted to form those dense drops of water, Mr. Zhang Tian had to stand still for more than 2 minutes.
"Haiyuan, think about it"
"There is no sofa or chair next to the power socket. It is completely empty."
"Why did Mr. Zhang Tian stand in front of this white wall with nothing but a power socket, in a daze for so long?"
There was a hint of emotion in Conan's tone:
"I'm afraid it's because he knows what he's going to do next."
"So he was hesitating, thinking."
"And after struggling and hesitating, he made the decision to commit suicide."
"And it was a suicide disguised as an accident."
If it is a normal electrocution suicide, in order to worry about accidentally breaking away from the wire after being electrocuted and failing to commit suicide, they often wrap the wire directly around themselves.
This method of suicide is extremely obvious and easy to distinguish.
But Mr. Zhang Tian’s electric shock looked so like an accident.
"This may have been intentional on his part."
"Mr. Zhang Tian already owed a large amount of loan sharks and was very financially strapped. The failure of the movie theater acquisition made his already desperate situation even worse."
"So, Mr. Zhang Tian may have bought some kind of life insurance and wanted to defraud a large sum of insurance money by pretending to be an accident and electrocuting himself."
"In this way, after his death, his family can at least have some respite with this money."
Conan sighed deeply, seeming to feel the man's despair and powerlessness:
"If this is indeed the case, then his 'washing hands' behavior before being electrocuted may have been intentional."
"He deliberately let his palms soaked with water. Firstly, it would be easier to get an electric shock. Secondly, it would look more like an accident."
"But Mr. Zhang Tian's suicide ultimately failed."
"I think he collapsed after being electrocuted and accidentally pulled the charging cord out of the power plug."
"Japan's household voltage is inherently low, and the contact time is short, so Mr. Haritian temporarily survived the electric shock."
"After experiencing a life-or-death horrific experience, he finally lacked the courage to commit suicide a second time."
"He ultimately chose to live."
"But it's a pity that he didn't know how dangerous electrocution really is."
"Although Mr. Zhang Tian finally chose to give up suicide, he was too careless about his physical condition, and ultimately died suddenly of cardiac arrest due to the sequelae of electric shock."
After talking about these analyses, Conan couldn't help but look a little sad:
He committed suicide to defraud insurance, and then died suddenly due to negligence.
This kind of sacrificial suicide in despair cannot help but make people feel sad.
Now this man's crazy last ditch effort has been exposed by his reasoning. The trick of committing suicide and defrauding insurance companies cannot continue at all, and even if he dies, it will be in vain.
I no longer have the breadwinner of my family, I can’t get insurance compensation, and I still have a lot of debt that may never be repaid.
Will Mr. Tian's wife and children live a more painful and difficult life in the future than before?
"But no matter what, he did it all on his own."
Conan thought this in his mind and finally felt a little more relaxed:
"I found his evidence just for the truth."
"Of course." Hui Yuan Ai echoed indifferently: "There is no need for you to be unhappy because of other people's stupidity."
Haibara Ai obviously had no feelings about the tragedy of Mr. Zhang Tian.
After getting Conan's final answer, she quickly turned around and said calmly:
"Let's go back and tell Lin the results."
"Um"
Conan responded softly.
The tone seemed a little tangled.
"etc--"
Before leaving, Conan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Hui Yuarai frowned slightly.
Conan didn't answer, but searched silently in the lounge again.
He turned back and took a focused look at the shapes of the water drops.
In the end, Conan continued to move forward with a solemn expression: "It's okay, let's go back first."
A moment later, the screening room.
"Accidental electric shock?"
Lin Xinyi looked at Conan who reported the investigation results to him with some surprise:
"What happened to Mr. Zhang Tian was just a simple accident?"
Conan hasn't answered yet to confirm.
The expression on Haiyuan Ai's side suddenly became subtle:
How come the result this guy told Lin Xinyi was completely different from what he said in the lounge before?
Wait, is he?
"Hey. Detective."
Huiyuan Ai sighed softly.
There was a hint of helplessness in her cold tone:
"You don't even want to sympathize with a man who takes it upon himself, do you?"
"You even didn't hesitate to help him cover up the truth and defraud the insurance money?"
"Uh what?" After hearing this, Lin Xinyi's expression suddenly became strange:
Did Conan just lie to him?
Mr. Zhang Tian was not accidentally electrocuted, but deliberately committed suicide to defraud insurance money?
No way. Would Conan do such a thing?
Has this ruthless detective who once compared prisoners to prey has now become a Madonna with excessive compassion?
"No." Conan shook his head firmly: "I am not overly sympathetic and covering up for that Mr. Zhang Tian."
"I just suddenly discovered that there were still big holes in my previous reasoning."
"Mr. Zhang Tian may have really died in an accident."
As he said that, Conan suddenly asked:
"Lin, where is Mr. Zhang Tian's mobile phone?"
"Mobile phone?" Lin Xinyi thought for a while: "It should be in his coat."
When he was rescuing Mr. Zhang Tian, he seemed to have touched something that looked like a mobile phone in the other person's coat pocket.
The jacket was taken off during the rescue and is now placed in the screening room.
"good."
Conan nodded.
He immediately ran over and took out his cell phone from his coat:
"Sure enough, there was a loophole in my previous reasoning - because Mr. Zhang Tian's current desperate situation gave me a 'preconceived' illusion."
"Mr. Zhang Tian was not necessarily in a daze in front of the wall, hesitating whether to commit suicide."
"He was probably just charging his phone and talking on the phone."
