Conan's Almighty Extraction

"This is the crossbow bolt that hit us."

"It seems that the murderer must be hiding around here..."

"Damn it, who the hell is that bastard?!"

"It should be clear by now that the murderer is definitely not one of us."

"Fortunately, no one is injured now."

After seeing the hand crossbow and crossbow arrows brought back by Bai Yanzhenyu, everyone started discussing with righteous indignation, wishing to bring the real culprit to justice immediately, and at the same time rejoicing that no one was injured by the attack of the crossbow arrows.

Tanaka Xijiuhui, who was supported by Xiaolan, complained dissatisfiedly: "Really, this party is terrible, if I knew it, I shouldn't have come to this place..."

As one of the initiators of this party, Huang Yi pulled a smile on his face, and said helplessly: "You don't have to blame this party."

Tanaka Kijiuhui looked at Huang Yizhi and said angrily: "Oh? You can say such things calmly, but what about me? Just now a crossbow arrow directly threatened my life. Can you understand this feeling? ?!"

Seeing the momentum of the two arguing here again, Baiyan Maha hurriedly stopped him and said: "Okay, now is not the time to quarrel, it's not safe outside, let's go back to the house first."

On the way back, Shiraiwa found that the snow under one tree was much thicker than the snow under other surrounding trees, indicating that the snow on the branches had fallen in large quantities for some reason.

Bai Yanzhenyu was a little curious, walked over to check it, and found that there was a small black round hole a few centimeters deep on the trunk half a meter above the ground, which seemed to be a scar left by a crossbow arrow.

After returning to the living room of the villa, Xiaolan looked at Bai Yanzhenyu who was frowning and thinking hard, and asked, "Brother Zhenyu, did you see anything?"

"It's nothing." Bai Yanzhenyu shook his head slightly, his searching eyes swept over the faces of everyone with different expressions, and he replied softly: "I just have a feeling that the murderer is among us."

"How is this possible?" Tanaka Kikuhui didn't believe Shiraiwa Maha's feelings, and asked instead: "Aren't those crossbow arrows just shot in from the outside? And the hand crossbow was also found outside, how to explain this Woolen cloth?"

"The crossbow arrows can be controlled by certain mechanisms. It is not absolutely impossible that the hand crossbow might have been quietly discarded there when everyone went to the woods together."

Bai Yanzhenyu explained the reason for his doubts, and then said: "Of course, this is just a possibility that I thought of. The specific facts need more clues to be sure. Just take this opportunity to recall today. Let’s see if we can find any new clues.”

After hearing Shiraiwa Maha's proposal, Doi Takaki recalled first: "I remember that when Mr. Hamano returned to his room, we stayed in the living room to prepare the venue and wine glasses. Only Mr. Araki, Miss Tanaka, and Xu Lian Sir and Brother Baiyan are not in the living room."

"Mr. Xu Lian and I have been staying in the kitchen and never left the kitchen."

Bai Yanzhenyu and Xu Lian Qingri Lu have been busy in the kitchen, so there is little suspicion of Xu Lian Qingri Lu being the murderer.

Naoko Kuroda nodded, and added: "After setting up the wine glasses, I went to the kitchen to help Sukama and the others prepare pastries."

"At that time, I went to the wine cellar to get red wine." Huang Yi recalled.

Hearing Huang Yi mentioned the matter of getting the wine, Doi Takaki remembered a detail that he had overlooked before, and asked: "Mr. Huang, I remember that you seemed to be away for seven or eight minutes. Did it take so long to get the wine?"

"That's because I completely forgot that the wine cellar has a new lock, so I went back to the room to get the key. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to have a look." Huang Yi scratched his head and explained the reason. Believe it, he took everyone to the wine cellar.

Three locks were installed on the door of the wine cellar, and two of them appeared to be new locks at first glance. Obviously, Huang Yi's statement has a certain degree of credibility.

Xiaolan looked at the heavily guarded gate, and asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Huang, why did you install three locks on the gate?"

Huang Yi explained: "Because thieves came in recently, I added two more door locks. After all, the only valuable thing here is the red wine I kept."

"Mr. Huang, take us to the place where the hot water is heated."

Arakyoshino's suspicion was temporarily put on hold, and Shiraiwa Maha then proposed to check the location of another suspect's activities, which was the water room where Kikue Tanaka used to heat hot water.

The water room is connected to the bathroom of the villa, and it is built in a corner outside the villa. Not far above the oblique top of the roof is the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Shiraiwa Maha looked around and found nothing except a staple in the snow.

After checking the situation here, everyone returned to the villa again, and Huang Yi opened a few bottles of red wine that he took out from the wine cellar along the way, and poured them out to drive everyone away from the cold.

"This. I see"

When Bai Yanzhenyu tasted the red wine, he accidentally saw the sailboat pattern printed on the wine bottle, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he said excitedly: "Everyone, I already know how the murderer took Mr. Hamano's body to the seemingly impossible transported there in the same way."

Under the surprised and expectant eyes of everyone, Bai Yanzhenyu drank the red wine in the cup and explained: "The murderer used the crossbow arrows to connect the fishing lines, and then shot the crossbow arrows into different big trees, weaving them into simple The fishing net, and then let Mr. Hamano's body slide down there along the fishing net, as for the specific method, I will demonstrate it to you now."

Shiraiwa Maha asked for scissors and fishing line from Arayoshi, and went to the back of the house to measure the distance between the big trees on the left and right sides of the balcony, and then started the actual demonstration.

First, drill a small hole behind the two crossbows, pass the fishing line through it, and tie it into a small circle, and then pass a fishing line with a measured length through the two circles .

Then, in the middle of this fishing line, tie two other long fishing lines, and tie the two ends of the fishing line that passes through the two circles to the handrail of the balcony.

Finally, shoot the two crossbow bolts tied with fishing lines at the big trees on the left and right sides respectively, and then tighten the fishing lines. Immediately, a simple fishing net shaped like an isosceles triangle with two fishing lines in the middle appeared in front of everyone. before.

"This is it, the last step, now take out the quilt that replaced Mr. Hamano's body, pass the ends of the two fishing lines in the middle through the circle tied with a rope on the quilt, and let it down like a cable, the body It was successfully moved to the center of the backyard."

As Shiraiwa Maha's voice fell, the quilt fell next to Mr. Hamano's body, deciphering the impossibly criminal method forged by the murderer.
