Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 345 The Wrath of the Celestial Lady (7)

"Because the time it takes for the cable car to pass through the tunnel is only 30 seconds, even if the murderer really has helpers, he wants to transfer the victim from the carriage to the tunnel and then from the tunnel to the heavenly girl within 30 seconds. In the palm of the image, it is simply an impossible thing to accomplish."

Conan's reason was very good, and it was recognized by police officer Henggou and others. After all, the victim was staying in the carriage suspended in the air at that time, even if there were helpers, it would be difficult to do such a thing.

Mori Kogoro, who had been refuted, glared at Conan angrily. After thinking carefully for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Yoshino Ayaka: "Miss Ayaka, is there anything special in the tunnel? For example Something like the elevator that leads to this observatory."

"There is absolutely no such thing."

Yoshino Ayaka shook her head slightly, and then added: "Of course, during our renovation, we did use a staircase leading from the observatory to the tunnel as a passage."

Mori Kogoro was overjoyed after hearing this, and hastily judged: "That's the passage, the murderer must use this to commit the crime."

Yoshino Ayaka showed a confused expression on her face, and questioned: "But, Mr. Mori, to walk from the tunnel to the observatory, even if an adult man runs, it will take at least 3 minutes."

"What? It takes 3 minutes?"

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback when he heard this, and muttered falteringly: "Wait a minute, counting from when the power went out in the empty cable car to when Eizo Domoto found the dead body in the hands of the goddess, it would take at most 30 seconds. If it takes 3 minutes to say..."

"No, I think it should take more time."

The pointed-jawed reporter Osamu Machida came over and interjected, "Think about it, if Eizo Domoto was arrested, how could he be obedient? So, he must have been killed by the murderer immediately, that is, Said that the murderer had to carry the body on his back and rush from the tunnel to the observatory, and the 3-minute journey would turn into at least 6 minutes.”

"This is God's punishment!"

Before Mori Kogoro and others could figure it out, the old lady Kamiyama Shizuku suddenly appeared on the observatory, pointed at Domoto Eizo's corpse and shouted, "This stubborn guy, the reason why he died in the Tennyo Statue this time Under the wishful orb, it seems that Domoto Eizo has been punished by God after pursuing money and power!"

After hearing the old woman's words, Mori Kogoro and the others froze, and looked up at the majestic and holy Goddess statue, feeling a sense of awe involuntarily.

However, Shiraiwa Maha, who knew the truth, didn't feel this way, because he knew that it wasn't a curse at all. Domoto Eizo hid in the cabinet under the bench seat in the carriage at that time, but he didn't know what happened later, so he Let his body appear here.

In other words, the key to solving this case lies in how the murderer moved Domoto Eizo's body here during the 15 minutes when everyone went from the top of the mountain to the observatory.

"Officer Henggou, the autopsy results have come out."

A police officer with the inspection records came over and reported: "The cause of death was the short knife inserted directly into the deceased's chest. It was almost a one-shot death. No fingerprints or palm prints could be found from the short knife. As for the estimated The time of death should be what happened immediately after the deceased disappeared in the empty cable car."

After listening to the report, Police Officer Henggou ordered: "Okay, then from now on, no one is allowed to enter the murder scene. As for the old lady over there, please wait at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The police officer responded and acted according to Officer Henggou's order.

At this time, Conan suddenly saw a small house at the foot of the mountain below the observatory, and the chimney there was still smoking, and asked curiously: "Uncle Baoze, what is the small wooden house below?"

After looking at it, Domoto Ho replied, "It was a temporary rest room for workers to rest when the tunnel was dug. It was originally planned to be demolished tomorrow."

"Conan, come here, let me tell you." Shiraiwa Maha pulled Conan to his side, and told Conan in a low voice that Eizo Domoto was hiding under the bench in the carriage.

"What?!" Conan was shocked when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he stroked his chin and suddenly seemed to have figured out some key link, and immediately ran to the temporary lounge at the foot of the mountain.

"Conan, where are you going?" After Conan ran away for a while, Xiaolan found out about this and immediately followed to prevent Conan from being in danger.

After Xiaolan left, police officer Henggou showed an evidence bag to Hoze Domoto to look at, and asked, "Mr. Hoze Domoto, there is something I want you to confirm. Have you ever seen this knife?"

After looking carefully, Domoto Ho nodded and replied, "Yes, this is one of my father's collections of swords."

"So, this knife was stolen in advance," Police Officer Henggou took back the evidence bag, and then asked: "Then, does your father keep it strictly?"

"No," Domoto Ho shook his head and replied, "Anyone can do it if they are willing to take out the knife. There is a question that is much more important than this."

But as soon as he said this, Domoto Ho seemed to have thought of some concerns, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Officer Henggou's expression froze, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, it's actually not that important." Domoto Yasushi hesitated to explain, then lowered his head and kept silent.

Police officer Henggou didn't ask any more questions. He called everyone together and said, "To put it simply, Mr. Domoto was attacked by unknown persons in the empty cable car, and then disappeared. A note was pasted on the window. From these two points of view, we can only say that the murderer is probably among you now. From the perspective of the motive of the murder, if anyone can obtain greater benefits than others after the death of Mr. Domoto Eizo, it should be him. "

Tang Benbao frowned, and asked back: "If you are referring to the inheritance left by my father, it is our three brothers and sisters. Do you suspect that the murderer is us?"

"No, big brother, if you talk about benefits, it should be you."

Domoto Junpei leaned on the railing, gloating and said: "You have the priority of succession, at least your father has already said that you will inherit the sightseeing company. If something happens to your father, you can successfully inherit the business of Domoto Tourism. So you are the most likely person."
