Conan: Naruto

"As expected."

Kudo Shinichi floated next to the chimney, reached out to take down the larger bird's nest above the chimney, handed it carefully to Dongfang Haoyue, took out a small flashlight, pressed the switch, and illuminated the inside of the chimney.

Haoyue and Xinyi poked their heads out to look inside the chimney, and found...

A long, thin trail of ashes rubbed off by something stretched from the top of the chimney to the bottom.

1 minutes later.

living room.

Machida Hiroshi looked at Ezomatsu in front of him, and said sadly:

"Please believe me... I really didn't want to kill Dad..."

"I understand how you feel."

Ezomatsu with his hands in his pockets looked at Hiroshi Machida, and Furui Muba explained:

"When you get to the police station, I will listen to you slowly."

Ezomatsu looked at Machida Noriko in the front left, and asked unquestionably:

"Miss Zezi, since you are suspected of abetting the murder, please come with me to the police station."

"what......"

Machida Noriko looked at Ezomatsu anxiously.

Ezomatsu didn't pay attention to Noriko, but looked back at Mori Kogoro, and said with a nonchalant smile:

"Famous detective, do you agree with my method of handling the case?"

"Hahaha, of course."

Mori Kogoro looked at Ezomatsu, smiled awkwardly and said:

"In any case, Hiroshi Machida-san has surrendered himself..."

In the next second, Dongfang Haoyue, who was sitting in the corner of the living room, stared intently at Kogoro Mori, and the chakra circulated in the body at a very fast speed according to a specific route.

Haoyue said silently in her heart:

"The art of turning the heart!"

Within a second, Mori Kogoro's mental body fell into a coma, and Dongfang Haoyue's mental body stood on the floor of Kogoro's spiritual world.

Haoyue controls Xiao Wulang to turn around and walk towards the sofa, and sits on the sofa as he pleases.

Finally, Kogoro Mori lowered his head, his face completely hidden in the shadows.

Everyone's attention was on Ezomatsu who helped Machida Hiroshi to the door, and they didn't notice Kogoro's abnormal behavior.

During this period, Kudo Shinichi sat on the floor behind the sofa, leaning his back against the back of the sofa, and slowly adjusted the bowknot voice changer.

"Please wait a moment, Officer Ezomatsu."

Kudo Shinichi said in Mori Kogoro's voice:

"Actually, Mr. Hiroshi Machida did not kill Mr. Shuzo."

"Ok?"

Ezomatsu was about to step out of the gate, but stopped suddenly, turned to look at Mori Kogoro, and asked with a bad attitude:

"Machida Hiroshi clearly admitted to the murder, why did you say that?"

At the same time, everyone looked at Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

Kudo Shinichi reminded inquiringly:

"Officer Ezomatsu, how do you explain the shards of glass made by Hiroshi Machida?"

"glass shards?"

Ezomatsu froze for a moment, walked to the front of the glass shards on the floor, glanced at the shards, turned to Kogoro Mori, and asked in bewilderment:

"How does it relate to this murder?"

"You don't think the location of the shard of glass is very suspicious?"

Kudo Shinichi asked calmly:

"Since bows and arrows were shot into the house from the outside, why did the glass shards scattered all over the place form a straight line parallel to the window sill?"

Ezomatsu turned around, lowered his head slightly, stared intently at the broken glass for two seconds, then turned to look at Mori Kogoro, accusing him displeasedly:

"You laymen are really troublesome and always like to destroy the scene of the crime."

Ezomatsu paused for a second, then calmly analyzed:

"In my opinion, someone must have taken something that was in front of the window."

"Yes, please look at the tempered glass on the left."

Kudo Shinichi revealed indifferently:

"At the time of the incident, the glass was placed obliquely in front of the window."

"Oh?"

Ezomatsu walked towards the toughened glass with doubts, held both sides of the glass with both hands and lifted it up, and walked to the front of the window, so that the upper end of the glass was against the big hole in the broken glass of the window.

At this moment, the lower end of the tempered glass was just outside the glass shards on the floor.

Ezomatsu observed carefully, his expression was startled, he turned to look at Mori Kogoro, and guessed in astonishment:

"Could it be..."

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi calmly analyzed:

"Hiro Machida fired crossbow arrows inward from the window, so that the window glass shattered and scattered all over the place, and the arrow hit the tempered glass, causing scratches and rebounding to the floor, leaving holes."

"I see. The transparent tempered glass made Machida Hiroshi mistakenly think that he killed Mr. Shuzou."

Ezomatsu asked in bewilderment:

"In that case, where did the arrow that killed Xiu Zao come from?"

"fireplace."

Kudo Shinichi Furui Wubo reminded:

"Part of the soot above the fireplace was worn off by the gun-like crossbow that was fixed there."

"I see."

Ezomatsu quickly walked to the front of the fireplace, squatted on the ground, glanced up at the traces where the soot had been wiped off, then looked back at Kogoro Mori, and asked in bewilderment:

"How do prisoners shoot bows and arrows in the fireplace?"

"Use small wooden blocks."

Dongfang Haoyue controlled Mori Kogoro to take the white handkerchief wrapped in small pieces of wood from Kudo Shinichi and displayed it in front of Ezomatsu, looked at Ezomatsu, and told him calmly:

"I found a small piece of wood that was intact on top of the logs that had burned in the fireplace."

"What can a wooden block prove?"

Ezomatsu walked up to Mori Kogoro, and looked down at the block in surprise.

Dongfang Haoyue, who had not been spoiled by Kudo Shinichi, lowered her head cooperatively, her face completely hidden in the shadows.

Kudo Shinichi reasoned calmly:

"The prisoner used a rubber band to tie the outside of the trigger of the gun-type crossbow that was not loaded with bolts, so that the trigger was pulled and fixed.

Next, against the force of the rubber band, he stuffed the wooden block tied with the end of the fishing line inside the trigger to restore the trigger to its unclamped state, and then put the crossbow bolt back into the crossbow.

After that, he threw the other end of the fishing line from the chimney to the roof above the chimney, ran to the roof and grabbed the fishing line slightly. "

Kudo Shinichi paused for two seconds, then calmly analyzed:

"When Machida Hiroshi stood outside the window and aimed at the red-crowned crane specimen and fired crossbow arrows... The prisoner observed Mr. Shuzou through the skylight, confirmed that Zuozuo was located on the sofa where he usually sat, and pulled the fishing line vigorously to remove the wooden block.

Therefore, the rubber band rebounded in an instant, the trigger was pulled, and the crossbow arrows fired accurately hit Xiu Zuo's chest, killing him on the spot. "

"Maori detective, if your reasoning is correct..."

Ezomatsu looked at the fireplace and concluded thoughtfully:

"The inside of the fireplace probably has soot rubbed off by fishing line, and the arrows used to build the chest are supposed to have soot on it.

In other words, it was a well-thought-out planned murder. "
