Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 353 The Clues on the Murder Weapon
"The murderer should be that person. There is nothing wrong with that." Kanedaichiji said, "But there is still one problem that has not been resolved."

"Key evidence." Liu Jianming said: "We have not found key evidence to prove our reasoning, and there are still some phenomena that do not make sense."

"Have the police made any new discoveries? Has the body search been carried out?" Kazuto Kaneda asked.

Liu Jianming shook his head: "Our luck is not very good. The murderer was originally a member of Senyuan's family. It is normal to leave traces of him at the crime scene, and he is also very lucky that there is no blood on him."

"That's unlikely. The murderer used an ashtray to hit the person on the head. The ashtray is so small that the distance between the two sides must have been very close. Even if the blood was not stained on the body due to luck, it is impossible not to get it on the hand. ?”

"Perhaps ta was wearing gloves at the time, after all, the amount of bleeding was not much."

"What about his gloves?" Jin Tianichi asked back: "He has been with us since the incident, and has no time to deal with gloves."

"But he also didn't have time to deal with the murder weapon, but the murder weapon disappeared. If my prediction is not bad, maybe the disappearing murder weapon should provide some clues."

"You just said... disappeared?" Kindaichiji suddenly had some inspiration.

He pulled Liu Jianming to a window and looked out at the woods.

"If the murderer let the murder weapon fly away without us noticing, for example..." Kazuto Kaneda pointed out the window: "At that time, we were all focused on saving people, and we didn't pay attention to the people upstairs. What's the situation, when the Senyuan chrysanthemum fell from the building, we still focused all our attention on the body, and it was only after that that we asked Xiaolan and the others to guard the window, if the murderer threw the murder weapon through the window while pushing the chrysanthemum down the stairs Did you go out? Maybe none of us really noticed what happened at that moment!"

"It seems that someone thinks the same as you." Liu Jianming said.

In the woods, Conan and Hattori Heiji began to organize the police to climb trees and search.

Because it has just rained, the surface of the tree is relatively slippery, and it is difficult to climb up the tree, so these people seem to be in a state of embarrassment and hard work, but these embarrassments are valuable.

Not long after, there was a commotion in the woods, and the murder weapon was actually found!
The murder weapon was the ashtray that was lost in Senyuan Chrysanthemum's room. It should have been thrown from upstairs and got stuck on a branch of a relatively dense tree, which is why it was so difficult to find.

"How, what have you gained?" The duo of Kanadaichiji and Liu Jianmin asked the duo of Conan and Hattori Heiji who came back with the murder weapon.

"The plot of this case is a bit unimaginable and confusing. We just got a little clue. After we found the lost ashtray just now, we were even more confused!" Conan said: "By the way, this is all Brother Hattori told me just now."

"Conan is right. Although we have some preliminary reasoning, if we look at it with this murder weapon, there are many details that do not make sense." Hattori Heiji said.

"Is there something wrong with the murder weapon?" Liu Jianming took over the evidence bag containing the ashtray and observed it carefully.

"Strange, why is there no blood on this ashtray?" Kanedaichiji glanced at it and said.

"Could it be that the rain that fell before washed away all the blood on the ashtray?" Liu Jianming said.

"Uncle Liu is wrong. The rain stopped before the death of Brother Juren, otherwise we would have been caught in the rain when we left," Conan said.

"Could it be that this ashtray is not the murder weapon at all, but a clue deliberately created by the murderer to confuse?" Kazuto Kinda said.

Hattori Heiji replied: "That's not true, the murder weapon is this ashtray, on which the luminol reagent was used to detect blood residue, and its unique shape is basically consistent with the wound on the head of the deceased."

"The murderer wouldn't wipe the blood on the ashtray first, and then throw it out of the window. Then what did he use to wipe it, and how did he say that it was thrown away?"

Even the murder weapon has so many mysteries.

"Speaking of which, have you gained anything?" Hattori Heiji asked Kindaichiji.

Kindaichi and Er did not directly state the conclusions they reached based on "experience", but only updated the testimonies of some people.

He didn't need to speak so bluntly. With the testimony of these people alone, Conan and Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, and they immediately figured out the joints.

"So that's the case, so the murderer should be that person?" Hattori Heiji pondered: "But it's not right, so the problem of the murder weapon is still not resolved."

"But it's so strange!" Conan said suddenly: "If the murderer is that person, and the trick you just mentioned is used, then why did Brother Juren ask for help?"

"Naturally, it's because the murderer is attacking him... that's right!" Kindaichiji understood instantly, and so did the others.

It turned out to be the case, and now even Liu Jianming and Hattori Heiji realized it.

The truth of the case has been basically revealed.

But it's not enough, they still don't have conclusive evidence, and the murder weapon doesn't work either.

While Kindaichi was thinking hard, Hattori Heiji summoned everyone without authorization, saying that the case had been solved.

Hattori Heiji was originally going to be stopped by Kindaichiji, but Liu Jianming stopped him.

"But we don't have conclusive evidence yet," Kindaichiji said.

Liu Jianming shook his head: "This should be enough."

Kindaichi looked at Conan and found that he did not stop Hattori Heiji either.

A few minutes later, the police gathered all the people involved at the crime scene, even Yuri Mori and Kaede Katagiri who had just recovered.

Hattori Heiji announced loudly in front of everyone: "Everyone, we already know who the murderer is!"

Since Conan was inconvenient to show up and Mori Kogoro knew nothing, Liu Jianming just wanted to watch the fun, and Kaneda Kazuto was not sure, so Hattori Heiji, who loves the limelight the most, took on the leading role of the reasoning show this time.

"If you want to solve this case and find the real murderer, then you must solve the secret room trick left by the murderer." Hattori Heiji said: "When Chrysanthemum Senyuan died, all the doors and windows in the room were locked, and the door was locked. Someone is blocking, someone is watching from the window, there is no secret passage in the room, the murder weapon and the murderer are missing at the same time, no one is suspected of committing the crime, it seems like an impossible crime. But all these have been solved by us Already!"

"Have you unlocked it? What's going on?" Mumu police department praised skillfully.

"First of all, we want to show you this thing." Heiji Hattori said while taking out the ashtray: "This is the weapon that hit the victim's head, the ashtray that disappeared in this room, There is a big clue hidden in this."

"What clue?"

"There is no obvious blood on this ashtray!"
