Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia looked at the silent maid with her head down: "Then you put on your armor, picked up your long sword, and hastily hid the white sheet you were wearing when you came in into the closet in the wing room, then followed your previous footsteps and walked back to the main house step by step.

"After returning to the main house, you went into the audio-visual room, took off your armor, found Mr. Daimon who was sleeping, stabbed him in the throat, and then put the armor on him."

Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to the policeman next to him and said, "Officer Gao Mu, you seemed to have taken a lot of photos of the crime scene just now?"

Officer Takagi understood and quickly handed over the camera. At the same time, he looked at the brand new camera filled with bloody photos and felt bitter.

——Originally, I wanted to use it to record this wonderful trip with Officer Sato, but now...

Alas, perhaps this is the fate of the police.

A policeman was silently sad.

Next to him, Jiang Xia flipped through a few pages with the camera he had contributed, and soon found a long knife with a bloody tip. He pointed at the knife in the photo:

"When we followed the footprints to the door of the audio-visual room, we had to use an axe to chisel the door open because it was locked. After successfully opening the door, the knife fell not far behind the door.

"From this position, it seems that it is not just a murder weapon, but also a tool used by Ms. Hatsuho to create a locked room."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia took out another photo: this time it was a wall with a crack in it, and the area around the crack was stained with blood.

"This..." Sato Miwako looked at it carefully and had some impression, "Is this the wall behind the door of the audio-visual room?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "The tip of the long knife is stained with a lot of blood, but the very tip is relatively clean - combined with the gap in the wall, the long knife should have stabbed the victim's throat and then been inserted into the wall behind the door.

“At first glance, it looks like the victim stabbed himself in the throat and threw the knife, and the tip of the knife hit the wall and fell to the ground... But in fact, this is not the case.

"The hole in the wall is almost as high as the door lock. That means that after killing Mr. Daimon, Miss Hatsuho stabbed the long knife shallowly into the wall behind the door.

"After simply fixing the tip of the knife like this, she placed the other end of the handle on the door handle, with the handle against the door lock, and then held the knife in one hand and squeezed out of the room through the crack in the door.

“Then she only needs to withdraw her hand and slowly close the door, and the handle of the knife will press against the door lock, locking the door of the audio-visual room from the inside - this is the second secret room we saw.

"The audio-visual room has no windows, and the door is specially made and extremely sturdy. If you try to open such a door, whether you kick or chop from the outside, the violent vibration will cause the long knife behind the door to fall to the ground. That's why we saw the murderous knife so far away from the body when we entered the room."

“…”

The two carefully designed secret rooms were cracked so easily. The maid's face turned red and white, and suddenly she gritted her teeth and said, "What you said makes sense, but anyone can do this, why must it be me?

"I am indeed the daughter of President Sakusa who committed suicide. After the incident at home, I didn't want to think about this tragedy, so I changed my name and started a new life... But so what? There are too many people in this family who have the motive to kill. Why must I be the murderer!

She hadn't thought there was anything wrong with her plan before, and even thought it was extremely ingenious, a genius who combined legend with practice, but now...

Are her methods really so crude?

One of the murderers' pupils trembled, and he briefly fell into self-doubt and confusion.

However, the famous detective still didn't let her go: "In addition to this, you also left a lot of other evidence - after walking such a long distance in armor and mask, your biological information should have been stained on the inside of them.

“Also, last night the old lady offered a pair of socks in front of the armor, but today the socks disappeared.

"I previously thought that this was because the murderer wanted to use it to match the armor, but in fact, the second victim was not wearing socks on his feet - that is to say, the one who needed the socks was actually the murderer himself."

Jiang Xia looked at the maid whose face was becoming increasingly ugly: "Did you get injured in the foot when you killed President Daimon last night?"

"..." The maid's breathing stopped suddenly and she subconsciously pulled her feet back.

She didn't want to say anything, but the other party didn't seem to want her to speak. The detective looked like he had watched the whole murder scene, and he said to himself:

"There was a broken goblet in the wing room, and when you killed President Daimon, you accidentally stepped on its fragments and cut your foot.

"If you put on the boots of the armor like this, there will definitely be blood stains on them. Considering this, you first put on the tabi that the old lady offered in front of the armor, and then put on the shoes.

"Once you had returned to the main house and completed your murder, you hid the tabi and the blood-spattered clothing in the kitchen.

"In order to preserve the original flavor of cooking, a stove was left in the kitchen. You originally wanted to use the stove to burn these evidences, but you were worried that using fire at night would be too conspicuous.

"Considering that the road here had collapsed and the police car would not be able to arrive in a short time, you did not light a fire at night, but planned to wait until the next day when you were boiling water and cooking for everyone, and then take advantage of the chaos to burn the bloody clothes and socks.

"After checking the second scene just now, you offered to help us cook as planned. But Xiaolan and Sonoko were worried that you couldn't handle it alone, so they followed you.

"That's why you weren't able to burn the things in time. So now, the evidence should still be hidden in the kitchen."

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko: "!"

maid:"……"

She didn't say a word, but everyone with eyes could see that Jiang Xia was right.
