Conan's Almighty Extraction

Outside the gate of the villa, Shiraiwa Maha and Conan were surveying the scene while whispering their guesses.

Conan observed the doorbell and said, "When the doorbell rang, except for Xiaolan and Yuanzi who stayed in the room, everyone else was indeed staying in the living room, so there are only two possibilities, either there are other accomplices, or It is done through some special props and techniques.”

"The first situation is impossible, because I observed the snow outside the door at that time, and there were no other people's footprints."

For Conan's reasoning, Shiraiwa Maha agreed, and at the same time told Conan what he had observed before.

After the two checked outside for a while, they found some suspicious points, such as a part of the steps and escalators that was not covered by falling snow, strange grooves on both sides of the escalator columns, and a rubber band that was cut off stuck to the end of a thread kite string.

"As expected, the murderer is indeed someone in the villa. The groove on the pillar should be left by the kite string."

Bai Yanzhenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observed the positions of the gutters, pillars, handrails and doorbell, and suddenly realized: "I understand the murderer's modus operandi."

"First, wrap the kite string tied with rubber bands around the pillars at both ends in front of the door, then make a small circle at the other end of the kite string, and then tie the rubber bands to it."

"Afterwards, tie a rubber band around the neck of Mr. Sugiyama, who is stiff after death, and use the elasticity of the rubber band to hang him in a leaning posture in front of the gate."

"In the end, when the rubber band loses its elasticity in the cold and breaks, as long as you find the right position in advance, Mr. Sugiyama, who is leaning, will fall down and knock on the doorbell."

After listening to Shiraiwa Maha's reasoning, Conan excitedly agreed: "That's right, in this way, we can create the illusion that the murderer is someone else."

After surveying the scene, the two returned to the living room. Just as they walked down the stairs leading to the second floor, Dr. Ali called and told them that he had indeed found a document related to the case in Conan's father's study.

Three years ago, Minako Mochizuki, a student in the second class of the sixth grade of Kubado Elementary School, hanged herself in the ballet club classroom. It is said that it was because of the pressure of the exam, and her class teacher was also blamed for it.

"Minako? Isn't this the words left by the murderer with lipstick?"

After hearing the name of the deceased, both Shiraiwa Maha and Conan were a little surprised, and then they confirmed their previous guess that this incident was indeed related to the case three years ago.

Suddenly, Shiraiwa Maha recalled the past and reminded: "Conan, do you still remember what Sentence said?"

"Which sentence did you say?" Conan blinked blankly, not knowing which sentence Shiraiwa Maha was referring to.

"It's what he said when he saw Sonoko and Mr. Yonehara being attacked [Now, you can't hide the truth after distorting it like you did three years ago.]."

Bai Yanzhenyu's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he continued: "It seems that the case three years ago was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, there must be something hidden in it, and this Sendonshi should be the one who knows the inside story."

Just when Shiraiwa and Maha were about to ask Sentence, another scream suddenly came from the room on the second floor.

Shiraiwa Maha and Conan immediately ran to the second floor, and found that the other three teachers were all gathered in the corridor, and they were looking at Shimoda Kohei's room in horror.

Baiyan Maha felt a bad feeling in his heart, and ran over to look in the room, only to find that Shimoda Kohei was lying on the bed with his head down, and there were obvious strangle marks on his neck, apparently killed by the murderer.

Shiraiwa Maha and Conan came in to investigate the scene and found a thick layer of snowflakes accumulated on the steps outside the window of the room, which means that the murderer did not enter and exit through the window, but entered from the door that was previously locked by Shimoda Kohei scene, and left the scene after killing Shimoda Kohei.

Maha Shiraiwa's eyes swept over the three of Akoko Yonehara one by one, and said in a deep voice: "The body is still hot, which means that he died not long ago, and Conan and I were downstairs. It is impossible for the murderer to run down. So the murderer must be one of the three of you."

"Stop joking, how could we kill Mr. Shimoda."

"That's right, we are not murderers."

"In my opinion, you guys are the most suspicious people."

The three of Akiko Yonehara were very shocked. After looking at each other, they frantically denied Shiraiwa Maha's deduction.

Bai Yanzhenyu looked around, but found no props such as ropes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and suggested: "There are no props that can be used to commit crimes at the scene, which means that the murder weapon should be taken away or hidden by the murderer, so I think it is better to search And check your luggage."

Shiraiwa Maha's proposal was agreed by other people, so everyone went to each room to check the luggage, and then the men and women went to different rooms to search each other separately to prove their innocence.

Not long after, the body search was over, and the result was beyond Shiraiwa Maha's expectations, and no murder weapon was found.

Sakai Ryuichi, who was refuted by Shiraiwa Maha before, finally found a chance to take revenge, sneered and mocked: "Hmph, we don't have a murder weapon on us, so you should have nothing to say now."

Shiraiwa Maha ignored Ryuichi Sakai's sarcasm, frowned and thought about the details he might have missed, and then said bluntly to Sentoshi: "Mr. Mori, two teachers have died now, I hope you can tell the truth The hidden story of my case three years ago."

"Well, I've forgotten about that matter forever, but I can provide you with some simple information."

Suntonshi shook his head slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he replied: "Ms. Yonehara is Minako Mochizuki's homeroom teacher, Mr. Sakai is the consultant of the ballet club, and Mr. Nakamura has a very good relationship with Minako Mochizuki, but they didn't stop them in a timely manner." Minako Mochizuki's suicide."

After listening to Sentense's words, Akiko Yonehara and the other three lowered their heads in silence, not knowing whether they were guilty of not saving the student in time, or were trying to cover up their panic.

Although Suntonshi did not give the answer Shiraiwa Maha wanted, it can be regarded as an indirect proof that there was indeed an inside story in that case back then. However, if he wants to find out the real murderer, he can only continue to look for new clues.

Shiraiwa Maha returned to Shimoda Kohei's room, inspected the scene more carefully, and finally found a thread-like thing on his neck.

"This is...hair?"

Bai Yanzhenyu picked up the line and looked at it, and found that it was a piece of hair. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he guessed the real identity of the murderer.
