Conan: Naruto

"Ah."

Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly as steady as a mountain.

He retracted his gaze from Mu Nian and calmly looked at the far left corner of the wall, where the rectangular window that was originally installed close to the floor was now so damaged that he could see the corridor and the cliff outside the wall.

Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and cautiously confirmed:

"Are the damaged walls in that murder case located in the same place as the damaged walls in this murder case?"

"Correct."

Kuan Nian looked at the damaged corner and explained calmly:

"We originally thought that Zhongnian would destroy the corner because he wanted to escape from the practice room, but then we thought about it...the door was not locked!!!"

Kuan Nian was so incredibly excited for a moment that it's hard to put into words.

next second.

"We later hired a local carpenter to repair the wall and he said..."

Mu Nian looked at the damaged corner and narrated in a low tone:

"It would take at least a day and a night to destroy the wall into such a huge hole alone. Only an ancient monster with divine power can easily accomplish this feat.

For example..."

"Misty... foggy dog..."

Kuan Nian looked down at the floor, his body trembling.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi looked at Kuan Nian and Mu Nian back and forth with solemn expressions.

"absurd!"

Officer Mumu looked at Kuan Nian and Mu Nian with determination, and said in disbelief:

"There are no monsters in the world. Experts have said that even the Western-style wooden dragon that appeared in the sky above Miwa Town some time ago, covering the clouds and moon, was just a result of technology."

"what......"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi suddenly froze.

They looked at each other, smiled coquettishly, looked at everyone as if nothing had happened, and said quietly happily in their hearts:

"Fortunately, Detective Maori asked Xiaolan to go back to her room to rest, otherwise it would have been embarrassing!"

"Officer Mumu!"

The thin police officer wearing white police gloves had one end of the rope tied around his waist, and he knelt cautiously in the center of the three beams.

He bent over, supported the beam with both hands, looked down at Officer Memu, who was about nine meters below, and reported smoothly:

"Except for the middle beam, the other two beams were covered in dust and showed no traces."

The thinner police officer paused for a second and described rigorously:

"Although there are traces of dust falling on the middle beam, it is limited to the area where someone crawled to the position where the rope was entangled, and there is no sign of dragging a human body."

The thinner police officer paused for two seconds and made a reasonable guess:

"Sure enough, this is also a suicide?"

During this period.

The tall police officer and the strong police officer stood in the open-air corridor on the second floor outside the training room window, holding the other end of the rope tied around the waist of the thin police officer with both hands.

At this moment, the two police officers looked at the thinner policeman with bated breath and extreme nervousness, fearing that he might accidentally fall to the ground.

next second.

"suicide......"

Mouri Kogoro raised his head and stared at the thin police officer thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Officer Megure turned around, looked up at the thinner police officer, and explained rationally:

"Although it is not difficult to climb along the beam to the middle, it is difficult to transport people up."

Officer Memu paused for a second and analyzed calmly:

"Unfortunately, both Zhongnian and Tianyong who died weighed about [-] kilograms, and it was almost impossible for the prisoner to climb the beam while carrying the victim on his back.

If the prisoner climbed up the beam first, and then used the rope to pull the victim to the middle of the beam... there should be traces of dragging, but there are no. "

Officer Memu paused for two seconds and reasoned calmly:

"If the prisoner is strong enough, he will first use a very long rope to wrap around the victim's neck on the ground, then throw the other end of the rope to the window above, and finally...

The prisoner ran outside the window, picked up the other end of the rope, climbed to the middle of the beam, and pulled the victim upwards with force, hanging him on the beam.

The problem is...the rope is not that long, and there are no signs of cutting.

In summary. "

Officer Mumu paused for three seconds and concluded conclusively:

"Abbot Tianyong climbed up the beam alone, tied one end of the rope to the middle of the beam, wrapped the other end around his neck, jumped and suffocated to death.

but......"

Officer Mumu changed the topic, stared at the damaged corner of the wall, and explained in confusion:

"Since Mr. Mu Nian said... It will take at least a day and a night to destroy the wall into such a huge hole alone.

So where did the corner holes come from this time and last time?

Moreover, holes in the walls and suspension from extremely high ceilings... these actions seem to imitate the ancient legend.

As if to hint to everyone...another unfortunate person was killed by the unpredictable foggy dog. "

Officer Memu turned around and looked at everyone, his eyes narrowed, and he firmly denied:

"In fact, foggy dogs are completely lies made up by humans."

"Look here, there's obviously something wrong."

Kudo Shinichi stood in the open-air corridor on the first floor outside the damaged corner, facing the people in the room, and pointed his right hand at the clean corridor floor.

He looked down at the floor and said calmly:

“Firstly, the damaged walls were originally fitted with wooden rectangular windows.

Secondly, the windows and walls are made of two types of wood with different colors and very different hardness.

So......"

"So where did the splinter of wood that split such a big hole go~?"

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left side of Kudou Shinichi, looking at the astonished people with a smile, hands on hips, and said seriously:

"There aren't even small pieces of wood in the corridor, let alone small pieces of wood~!"

"This......"

Officer Megure and Kogoro Mouri looked at each other for a moment, then walked in unison to the corner of the damaged wall, knelt on the ground, crawled in front of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, and stood up.

Megure and Kogoro lowered their heads, carefully examined the spotless corridor floor, and agreed in unison:

"Indeed."

Mouri Kogoro turned his head, strode across the left side of Dongfang Haoyue, and stopped in the fence near the cliff in the corridor. He turned to the left and supported the fence handrail with his right elbow.

Kogoro glanced deeply at the lush greenery below the cliff, and said calmly and casually:

"If I have to provide a possibility, the only possibility is that Abbot Tianyong who opened the hole cleared the wall and window fragments and threw them into the forest below."

Mouri Kogoro turned to the right, ran along the corridor to the main entrance of the practice room, and said calmly and firmly:

"Although I can't understand why a person who was about to commit suicide took great pains to disguise himself as a foggy dog ​​and brutally killed him, but this matter is probably a suicide and there is nothing wrong with it."
