Conan: Naruto

"I see."

Police officer Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri suddenly.

"The only ones who know how to fish here are..."

Takako Imoto looked at Norio Terasawa on the right with some fear, but after seeing the two police officers beside Terasawa, he gradually relaxed.

"So the murderer really is Terasawa?"

Tetsuo Dohashi stood on the left of Takako Imoto, looking at Norio Terasawa in disbelief.

"The shoe prints here are the best proof."

Mori Kogoro put his left hand in his pocket, bent his right elbow inward, pressed the flashlight switch, a beam of light shone into the sky, and then immediately shone on the shoe print on the concrete floor on the left.

Everyone looked down at the shoe print in surprise.

Mori Kogoro said calmly:

"It must have been here that the murderer was stepping forward and throwing his pole.

This footprint is the mark left by the murderer when he swung a long-throw fishing rod.

The method he uses is called the over-the-shoulder throw, and it requires a firm step out with the left foot, like this. "

Kogoro Mori gestured at the over-the-shoulder throwing method, leaving deep footprints on the dusty concrete floor.

He turned to look at Takako Imoto, raised his left thumb and pointed to the apartment roof behind his left shoulder, and calmly analyzed:

"Ms. Imoto said that Mr. Ryusuke was doing Tai Chi on the balcony before he was killed.

The biggest feature of Tai Chi is its slow movement.

The murderer took advantage of this, and when Ryusuke had his back turned to him, he decisively threw a pole and killed Ryusuke.

Next, the murderer recovered the fishing line as usual.

However, when the bait passed the balcony railing, the heavy object bound to it would naturally fall under the influence of gravity and hit the crossbar.

Not only did it leave scars, but it also made a clang. "

"It turned out that the sound I heard at the time was the reason."

Tetsuo Dohashi suddenly realized and nodded.

"There is one thing that the murderer didn't calculate at all."

Mori Kogoro stared intently at Norio Terasawa, and said calmly:

"While retrieving his fishing line, he inadvertently shot down a bird in the air."

Mori Kogoro walked to the right of Police Officer Megure, put his hands in his pockets, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi in the front left, and joked with a smile:

"The little bird you picked up at the time probably suffered a slight concussion~"

"Poor little bird..."

Dongfang Haoyue looked up at the vast starry sky with distress.

Kudo Shinichi, with his hands in his pockets, heard this, and turned his head to look at Haoyue on the right with a confused expression.

"Detective Maori, although what you said makes sense, I still want to confirm it."

Officer Megure looked at Mori Kogoro on the right, and asked in bewilderment:

"It's nearly 30 meters from here to the balcony over there. Can the murderer really hit the victim to death with precision?"

"It just takes a lot of practice, especially for someone who's already good at fishing.

Am I right, Mr. Terasawa? "

Mori Kogoro stared at Norio Terasawa with eyes like a hawk.

Terasawa looked at Kogoro without saying a word, but his facial muscles trembled slightly.

"Mr. Terasawa."

Mori Kogoro stared at Norio Terasawa, and analyzed with relentless pursuit:

The prints of the shoes on your feet should match the prints on the ground, right?

And as long as you carefully investigate the building, you can probably find..."

"uncle!"

Kudo Shinichi ran to a position a little far away from everyone, and reminded loudly seriously:

"There seems to be something here!"

Everyone looked at Kudo Shinichi curiously.

Dongfang Haoyue complained in confusion in her heart:

"Xinyi and I saw the evidence on the concrete floor as soon as we arrived at the rooftop.

Unexpectedly, Detective Mori and Police Officer Megure have not discovered it until now, and Shinichi has to take the initiative to expose it..."

Kudo Shinichi stopped, half-kneeled on the ground, took out a white handkerchief from his coat pocket, and picked up the evidence on the concrete floor through the handkerchief.

Holding the evidence, he walked up to Police Officer Megure and Mori Kogoro with a smile.

"what is this?"

Mori Kogoro and Officer Megure bent over and looked at the evidence in confusion.

"This is the rod puller~"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mori Kogoro and explained innocently:

"When fishing with a fishing rod, there may be situations where the fishing rod cannot be pulled out.

In order to prevent the fishing rod from slipping out of the hands, people use plastic tubes or thicker rubber rings to fix it at the joint, and then hold it tightly with their hands and turn it in the opposite direction to pull out the fishing rod.

And you need to take off your gloves when using it, otherwise it will slip off easily! "

"Oh!

Conan, you actually know this kind of thing? "

Officer Megure put his hands behind his back and looked at Shinichi Kudo in surprise.

Xin looked at Mu Mu without any panic, and explained with a smile:

"Because there happened to be a fishing program on TV yesterday~!"

"I understand!"

After thinking for four seconds, Mori Kogoro clenched his left fist and slammed it into the palm of his right hand, and said excitedly:

"Since you need to take off your gloves to use the rod extractor, there must be fingerprints of the murderer on it!"

Mori Kogoro straightened up, pointed at Norio Terasawa with his right hand, and asserted solemnly:

"Mr. Terasawa, your fingerprints are on it!"

Norio Terasawa, who had been looking down at the floor, trembled slightly, and gradually regained his composure, as if he had relieved a lot.

He explained sadly:

"I killed Ryusuke because he...he insulted me."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Norio Terasawa in surprise, and Qiqi made a surprised sound.

Terasawa sadly narrated:

"After he took my fishing shop, he planned to raz it to the ground and build a clothing mansion."

Norio Terasawa suddenly looked up at Kogoro Mori, and said with a heartache:

"I told him that as long as my shop is not demolished, I am willing to be a small shop assistant.

But he..."

Norio Terasawa closed his eyes in pain, his body trembling even more.

He recalled in despair:

"He said......

A small shop like yours that sells scrap fishing tackle is useless even if it stays!

He also said...

And I really don't understand, what's the point of such a boring thing as fishing?

Then...then he picked up my most precious fishing rod, threw it on the ground, crushed it coldly and ruthlessly..."

Norio Terasawa suddenly knelt down, supported the ground with his hands, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and said in grief:

"I couldn't forgive him for trampling on my dignity...so I...I killed him.

woo woo woo..."

Norio Terasawa trembled and shed heartbroken tears.
