Conan: Naruto

"Oh, you finally discovered the key to this murder case!"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Officer Henggou in surprise.

Henggou leaned forward, placed his hands on both sides of his body, and analyzed seriously:

"Mr. Yingming is tall and weighs two hundred pounds.

If a prisoner wanted to stand on the eaves on the left side of the five-story tower and cut the rope close to the fence, it would be absolutely impossible to wrap the tight rope in his hand.

He could only hold the rope with one hand and cut it with a dagger in the other.

The problem is... at the moment when the rope is cut, Yingming's weight will pull the rope in accordance with gravity, causing the rope to slip from the criminal's hand.

To sum up, it is completely impossible for the prisoner to cut the rope alone and use the remaining rope to tie the crossbar in the middle of the fence. "

"In fact, even one prisoner could use the rope to tie the bar."

Dongfang Haoyue smiled slightly, extremely mysterious.

"how is this possible?!"

Officer Henggou straightened up, with two drops of cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and asked in disbelief:

"How on earth did he accomplish this?"

"In fact, the prisoner tied a movable loop knot on the rope that passed through the railing in advance."

Dongfang Haoyue revealed the truth calmly.

Officer Henggou was stunned for a moment and repeated in surprise:

"A movable ring knot?"

"In other words, he created a circle in the middle of the rope."

Dongfang Haoyue turned sideways and looked up at the fat police officer standing on the inner edge of the rooftop fence on the top floor of the five-story pagoda, and told him calmly:

"While you were preparing ropes and sandbags just now, I already informed a police officer to prepare a shorter iron rod with a diameter of three centimeters, a dagger and...

I asked him to tie a loose loop on the rope that passed through the railing. "

Dongfang Haoyue paused for a second and asked calmly:

“Please inform the police officer to do as I say.

First, grab the ring on the rope, pull it into the inside of the fence along the bottom of the middle crossbar, and wrap it around to the top of the crossbar.

Next, use an iron rod to pass through the hole formed between the ring and the top of the crossbar, and lift the ring upward.

Hold the iron bar with your left hand as a support point, use the dagger with your right hand to cut the rope on the outside of the fence, and grab the remaining rope to pass through the gap between the iron bar and the crossbar.

Finally, put away the dagger, tie the end of the rope to the rope near the end, and then pull away the iron rod and you're done. "

"Okay, I'll tell him right away."

Officer Henggou nodded without thinking, turned sideways, looked up at the fatter police officer, and loudly and clearly instructed the police officer to do what Dongfang Haoyue just said.

after a while.

"Officer Henggou!"

The fat police officer stood on the inner edge of the fence, holding the fence handrails on the left and right sides in front of him with both hands.

He leaned forward slightly, looked down at Officer Henggou, and reported the report loudly and meticulously:

"I've tied a rope to the bar!"

"It's so unexpected that you can actually do this alone."

Officer Henggou looked up at the fatter police officer, his eyes full of bewilderment.

Dongfang Haoyue retracted her gaze from the police officer, looked sideways at Henggou, and concluded her story:

"In this way, the prisoner only needs to recover the cut rope and throw it into the ancient well, and he can successfully imitate the legend and create the illusion that Oda Hideaki committed suicide.

To be honest, if the feet of the corpse were not fifty centimeters away from the fence, I might have walked into the trap set by the prisoner and mistakenly thought that Mr. Yingming had committed suicide. "

Dongfang Haoyue slowly shook his head, sighing with emotion.

"The prisoner could think of such an incredible method of committing a crime. It should be..."

Officer Hengmou turned around and pressed the lower right corner of his lips with the index and middle fingers of his right hand. The knuckles of his ring finger and little finger and the nail of his thumb supported his chin.

He looked thoughtfully half a meter in front of him, immersed in the shock, everyone gathered around, except Xiaolan, pondered for a moment, and fixed his eyes on Danhai, Harumi and Okabe Shigeyoshi in front of him on the left.

Officer Henggou made a calm judgment:

"You should be familiar with the surrounding terrain and the structure of the five-story pagoda. In other words, the prisoner is most likely hiding in Genkaji Temple."

"What do you mean?"

Chunhai clenched his hands into fists and placed them on both sides of his chest. He looked at Officer Henggou with great excitement and scolded angrily:

"Could the prisoner be one of us?!"

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

Dongfang Haoyue stood to the right of Officer Henggou, withdrew his gaze from Harumi, stared sharply at Yosuke Kajimura, whose face was filled with doubts and confusion, and said solemnly:

“The person who used trickery to kill Mr. Hideaki... Kajimura Yosuke!!

The criminal is you! "

"what?!"

The aggrieved Akai, Harumi and Okabe Shigeyoshi looked in disbelief at Kajimura Yosuke, who was half a meter to the left with a horrified look on his face.

next second.

"Is he a prisoner...?"

Xiaolan, who was standing on the right side of Kogoro Mouri and watching the whole show, looked at Yosuke Kajimura who was in a slightly calmer mood in great surprise.

Police officer Henggou stared at Kajimura and confirmed with sharp words:

"Are you the culprit?!"

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi, who was watching Mouri Kogoro the whole time, sat in his original position, leaning his body to the left, tilting his head and resting it on Dongfang Haoyue's shoulder.

Shinichi pinched the palm of Haoyue's right hand with his left hand, covered his lips with his right hand, breathed sleepily, and muttered lazily in his heart:

“I woke up too early today, I’m a little sleepy...!

Hmm... This murder case seems to be coming to an end. I should be able to return to the hotel with Haoyue soon and have a good sleep. "

at the same time.

"Detective Mori, you must be joking again."

Kajimura Yosuke looked at Mouri Kogoro calmly, pressed his right hand on his chest, and defended righteously:

"I am completely unfamiliar with the structure of the five-story pagoda and the surrounding terrain. How could I commit such a crime?"

"You are not only the manager of Oda Hotel, but also the director of the group."

Dongfang Haoyue stared at Kajimura Yosuke intently and analyzed seriously:

“Because the group needs to complete the construction plan of the theme park, you can easily get the construction drawings of the terrain around Huankuai Temple.

In this way, the depth of the ancient well, the height of the five-story pagoda, and the distance between it and the ancient well are all in front of you, and you can see them clearly.

If what I expected is correct, you must have asked the construction workers to pile up a large number of steel plates on the grass next to the ancient well.

To sum up, you imagined today's murder plan at that time. "

Dongfang Haoyue put her hands behind her back and folded her forearms, staring at Kajimura Yosuke with an expressionless face.

"enough!"

Kajimura Yosuke made a fist with his left hand and dropped it to the left side of his body. He made a fist with his right hand and placed it in front of his right chest. He looked at Kogoro Mouri without any doubt and retorted categorically:

"I asked people to pile up the iron plates next to the ancient well because of work needs, and it was not at all a murder plan you speculated on.

And you know very well...last night, after I said goodbye to you, I rushed to Tokyo without stopping.

That being the case, how could I kill the chairman at three to four in the morning? "

Kajimura Yosuke became more confident as he spoke and looked at Mouri Kogoro without any panic.
