My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 825: Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!

Qing Musong came to the door of the master bedroom and checked it carefully, but did not find any problems or any strange traces.

After thinking about it, Qingmu Song asked someone to bring a chair, then he stepped on it and prepared to check around the ventilation window to see if there were any clues.

There were no problems with the ventilation windows and window frames, and there were no strange marks.

but……

Aoki Matsu discovered that if he looked into the master bedroom from the ventilation window and looked to the lower left, he could see the drawer where the keys were kept.

And because the cabinet is quite large, after the drawer is pulled out, it moves from the lower left side of the view to the middle left side, which makes the contents of the drawer very clearly visible from the ventilation window.

So if you tie a fishing line in the drawer from the ventilation window, the key can slide into the drawer under the action of gravity.

However, the fishing line can be retracted with force, but the drawer cannot be closed!

Three other forces must be present: after the key falls into the drawer, the notebook covers it, then the drawer is closed, and finally the drawer is locked.

Qing Musong stared at the drawer for a while and found that the drawer had a built-in lock that could also be seen from the ventilation window. As long as there was something to push the lock handle up, the drawer could be locked.

Push up...

Aoki Matsu suddenly had an idea!

I remembered that in my previous life, I teased the cat of my first-floor neighbor. I held a cat straw through the security net, placed the straw above the cat, and then shook the straw up and down to tease the cat.

A bit like the situation now.

If you replace the cat grass with a stick, then...

Qing Musong estimated the distance and it was about 2 meters.

A 2-meter-long stick is certainly obtainable.

The steel pipe can be longer than 2 meters.

Thinking of the steel pipe, Qing Musong thought of how the murderer in the meditation room escaped. If it was a 2-meter narrow wooden frame, it could be used in the meditation room and then brought here, and it could also pass through the ventilation window.

only……

Aoki Matsu felt that the murderer shouldn't be that stupid.

After all, this kind of narrow wooden frame is not sold in general stores. It needs to be specially customized, or you need to buy the materials yourself and have them shipped here.

Not only will it cause trouble, but it will also allow the police to investigate directly.

If Aoki Matsu was the murderer, he would definitely use the things available in the villa.

For example, the modus operandi of the Meditation Room was completely integrated into Hirasaka Reiki's own scheme to deceive his fans by pretending to be mysterious.

If he hadn't met Aoki Matsu, the hardcore science expert, and Conan, the god of death, ordinary police officers and detectives would have been fooled by him.

What is available in the villa?

"Inspector." Maruta Ayumi came over at this time. "We have just searched the surroundings of the villa and the rooms where several people live, and we didn't find anything that could be used as a stepping stone. Although we found an iron ladder in the storage room of the villa, it was 10 centimeters wider than the window."

"Didn't find it?!" Qing Musong frowned when he heard that.

This answer was unexpected to Aoki Matsu, but also expected.

It was unexpected because Aoki Matsu felt that his reasoning was correct.

It was expected because Aoki Matsu felt that the murderer would not be so stupid as to let the police easily find the most crucial tool of the crime.

What on earth did the murderer use that allowed him to climb up to the window from the meditation room and close the drawer through the ventilation window above the master bedroom door?

Aoki Matsu got down from the chair and glanced at the pile of poster fragments at the gate.

and many more!

Aoki Song suddenly discovered another problem.

The paper the poster is printed on is of some quality, in other words - very heavy.

You may not notice anything with just one poster, but once you put several posters together, you will find that they are very heavy.

Moreover, Aoki Matsu had asked the Maori trio before, and the posters here were not as big as an ordinary painting, but posters that were taller than a person.

There are a lot of posters here, which is quite heavy and not easy to carry because of their size.

According to Aoki Matsu's reasoning, the murderer first killed Hirasaka Reiki in the master bedroom, then went to the meditation room to kill Utakura Akiko, and then returned to the master bedroom to set up the secret room.

This means that the murderer has already run back and forth between the master bedroom and the meditation room. If he wants to take the poster while holding the important props used in the crime, can he do it?

Qing Musong felt that the murderer shouldn't be so stupid as to make another trip back and forth just for the poster.

If it was just to create the association that Hirasaka Reiki killed Utakura Akiko, one poster would be enough, there's no need to use so many.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

The murderer was halfway on the road, but was discovered.

Science is science.

Psychological stress is psychological stress.

The murderer didn't know that he would have the help of science, so he would definitely not meet anyone when committing the crime. He had to consider the possibility of an unexpected situation like Izumi Maho suddenly feeling something was wrong and walking out of the room to look for someone.

If Aoki Matsu was the murderer, he would definitely reduce the number of times he went back and forth to avoid being discovered accidentally.

It's strange that the murderer took so many posters.

Unless... the murderer had a reason to bring it here! And it must be helpful to the crime method to bring so much. And it must be torn up afterwards so that the police will not see anything.

Aoki Matsu thought about it and came up with an idea - if he rolled up the poster, he could use it as a root.

Moreover, the middle of the roll is empty, which can replace the function of fishing line, allowing the two keys to slide into the drawer accurately.

Because it is rolled up, the poster will be bent, and it cannot be fully stretched out after it is opened. Therefore, the poster must be torn off, so that it cannot be seen that the entire poster has been bent.

When Qing Musong thought of this, his eyes brightened a lot. He finally found a secret room.

Now all that remained was how the murderer had climbed to the window of the meditation room.

And the evidence!

Although the case was only about to be solved at two o'clock, Aoki Matsu asked Aihara Yoji to prepare the posters in advance. Such super-large posters are not so easy to buy casually, so they need to be prepared in advance.

"Inspector!" Maruta Ayumi suddenly said, "Look here, there is a piece of poster fragment on this fake bouquet."

After hearing this, Qing Musong took a look and found that there was indeed a piece of poster fragment.

This proves that the murderer tore the poster outside the door.

Aoki Matsu asked Maruta Ayumi to take photos and record it.

Then he walked towards the living room. He wanted to question the five suspects again to see if there was anything he could find out.

Seeing Aoki Matsu coming in, Maori Kogoro asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Aoki Matsu shook his head and did not tell Kogoro Mori about the current progress of his investigation.

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but say, "I think we should go check the meditation room to see if there is a secret exit."

Upon hearing this, Park Zhimu and Xiong stood up and said in an excited tone, "How could there be a trap? There is absolutely no such thing."

"It's a waste of effort to check." Ke Erfeng said suddenly, and then saw him holding the figurine with a bit of madness, "Because Xiaohuang used magic, he escaped from that room!"

Qing Musong resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he heard this, but it was a waste of time to argue about this with someone like Ke Erfeng.

"Don't you think this room is very hot?" Ryuichi Mifune suddenly said to Hiroji Yagawa.

Yagawa Hiroshi said, "Why don't you just loosen your tie like normal?"

Upon hearing this, Mifune Ryuichi pulled at his tie but didn't loosen it. He just said with some embarrassment: "But, there are police here now, it would be inappropriate if I dress disheveled."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu glanced at Mifune Ryuichi, as if thinking about something.

If I remember correctly, Ryuichi Mifune's job is a COSPLAY photographer, which is the least formal job.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this time, Mao Lilan asked with concern: "Ms. Izumi, are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Izumi Maho, who had been silent and lowered her head, quickly looked up at Mao Lilan and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

After thinking for a while, Aoki Matsu said in order to delay the five people: "Detective Maori, what you said makes sense. I will have someone check the meditation room right away."

"Then I'll go too." Kogoro Mouri stood up immediately after hearing this.

"No need, you can't help much if you go." Qing Musong refused.

Then Aoki Matsu left the living room and came to the meditation room.

I tried my own reasoning first, and it turned out to be correct.

The only question now is how the murderer climbed up there!

This must have been done with the help of props.

But nothing problematic was found in the villa.

Although the iron ladder perfectly fits the modus operandi, it is too wide to pass through the window.

Headache!

This was the first time that Aoki Matsu encountered such a method, but he couldn't find any evidence.

If it really doesn't work, then... just use the evidence to arrest the person, and then let the murderer confess himself afterwards!

But this exposed his true colors in front of Conan - it means he is not that powerful.

After this, this kid Conan is likely to rebel against Tiangang!

At this time, Aihara Yoji came in holding a bunch of Kamen Rider posters. "Inspector, only Kamen Rider has posters this big. This is also the private collection of Chiba-san's good friend."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qing Musong said after he came to his senses after hearing what he said.

After looking at the posters, Aoki Matsu stacked several oversized posters together, then picked up one and rolled it up.

It was soon rolled into a paper tube more than 2 meters long.

Pat both sides to align them.

Aoki Matsu suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at the side of the rolled-up poster.

Isn’t this side view just a circular plane the size of a palm?

There are posters of other sizes. If you roll up posters of other sizes, you will form planes of different heights. If you put these planes together, wouldn't it become the perfect narrow ladder that Aoki Matsu imagined?

If you just tear it off afterwards, you won’t be able to find it anymore!

[It makes sense!] Qing Musong was a little excited. The two methods of committing the crime and all the strange details made sense!

It turns out that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

As long as you figure out the strange points, the case will be solved.

After figuring it out, Aoki Matsu immediately asked someone to call all five suspects over.

After everyone arrived, Aoki Matsu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, let me tell you the truth about this case. Last night in this meditation room, you first found Miss Akiko murdered, and then Mr. Hirasaka also died in his room.

Next to Mr. Hirasaka's body, there was a rope used to kill Ms. Akiko, and her cell phone was also at the scene. Judging from these circumstances, it is possible that Mr. Hirasaka killed Ms. Akiko and then committed suicide out of fear of the crime.

But he did not commit suicide. The murderer must have gone to the master bedroom first and made Mr. Hirasaka drink the poisoned wine. After he died, the murderer got the key to the Nanjing lock and the key to the master bedroom door. Then, after locking the master bedroom door from the outside, the murderer immediately went to the meditation room and killed Ms. Akiko.

Take out the poster of Miss Xiao Huang from all the canvases in the house, then return to Mr. Hirasaka's room and place the two keys, the rope used as the murder weapon, and Miss Akiko's cell phone in the room. This will put the blame on Mr. Hirasaka."

"Do you have any evidence to support what you said?" Ryuichi Mifune suddenly asked.

[He is anxious, he is anxious! This is a confession! ]

Aoki Matsu glanced at Mifune Ryuichi and said, "Because the fake bouquet outside Mr. Hirasaka's room has fallen pieces of Ms. Xiao Huang's poster on it!"

"What, is this really the case?" Kogoro Mouri was shocked. How come he didn't know about this?

"Of course." Aoki Matsu said.

Maruta Ayumi, who was standing by, also took out the evidence bag and showed it to everyone.

"In other words, the murderer tore up the posters in the corridor and then threw the fragments into the master bedroom through the ventilation window," said Aoki Matsu.

Park Zhimu and Xiong asked: "Why did the murderer do this?"

"The murderer did something unusual, so there must be a reason." Qing Musong said, "You will know the reason when you listen to me later. Now in the meditation room, I will first explain the method of committing the crime in the meditation room."

"The first step is to close the door, then you don't have to do it anymore." Aoki Song instructed Maruta Ayumi, "Maruta, stack these posters of the same size together and roll them up."

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi replied and quickly rolled it up.

"This way, we can make four cylinders of different lengths." Aoki Matsu said to everyone, and then looked at Maruta Ayumi, "Tie these four cylinders together. We can make a temporary stepping ladder."

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw it, "Ah!"

Some people with quick brains have already reacted.

But some people are slow to think or are unwilling to accept this result.

Then Park Zhimu and Xiong said, "But, is there any way for something like this, which is just made of paper, to climb to the window?"

"As long as paper is rolled into a cylinder like this, it can exert amazing strength against the weight from the vertical direction, especially if it is a poster. The paper used for posters is of much better quality than the paper we usually use." Aoki Song said.
