Conan Moslin

Officer Yokomizo, along with the officer holding the chainsaw, boarded the elevator with Kuroba Kuriyasu, Mouri Kogoro, and Edogawa Conan.

21th floor.

"Didn't you say you were going to call Dr. Agasa?!"

"Hehe..." Conan hid behind Li An, "I want to take a look at the scene first before looking for Dr. Agasa and the others!"

Kogoro Maori endured it and ignored him.

Several people got out of the elevator and went straight to room 2101.

Kogoro Mouri tried to push the door and saw that the U-shaped anti-theft buckle inside the door was indeed fastened.

"It turns out that he has locked the security lock in the room..."

He took a few steps back, and the police officer holding a chainsaw immediately stepped forward.

The anti-theft buckle cut off by the electric saw fell to the ground.

The loud noise caused several doors nearby to be opened violently, and then closed one by one.

Probably because he saw the police.

呲味——

Officer Yokomizo pushed the door open with some difficulty, and saw the wide-open floor-to-ceiling windows and the light brown curtains blown by the strong wind.

The wind here is quite strong.

The layout inside the hotel is similar. There is just a simple sofa, coffee table and TV at the entrance. There is a huge painting behind. There are paper flowers on the table in the corner. The bedroom is around the corner.

There were a few wads of red toilet paper randomly thrown on the coffee table, obviously used by him to simply wipe the wound.

There were two pieces of clothing scattered on the ground, a pair of light blue trousers on top and a dark red suit on the bottom.

Next to the shirt is the room card for room 2101.

"Even the room key is left here. It seems that Mr. Ehara must have been very drunk at that time." Kogoro Mouri picked up the room card on the ground with a handkerchief and sighed.

Officer Yokomizo walked around the clothes and entered the room: "The French window here is open."

"Sister Li An, did you find anything?" Conan saw that Li An did not follow her to the balcony, so he followed her line of sight.

Under the indoor lighting, there was a spot on the anti-theft buckle on the ground that was reflecting light slightly.

Most of these single-person "secret rooms" that are used to create the illusion of suicide or accidents have some tricks on the door locks.

Pretend to lock the room, or return the key to the room after committing the crime, creating the illusion that the deceased is the only one in the room.

Using tape... It's better to use fishing line, so that the traces left will not be visible at a glance.

Conan took out his handkerchief and picked up the anti-theft buckle, only to see the tape on it before it was taken away by the police officer.

"Little brother, please don't mess with the things here."

The Shizuoka police officer obviously did not trust Conan, a child, as much as Officer Beihua did. He took the anti-theft buckle from Conan and put it into the evidence bag.

This was evidence that the room door was locked from the inside, and they should have put it away.

She saw the clue but didn't pick it up herself. It's obvious that Sister Li An didn't want to get involved in the case.

Then let him come.

"There's tape on it, there might be some problems."

Conan sighed and took out a pen. He drew the outline of the anti-theft buckle and the position of the tape on the notebook, and determined the position of the tape and the door at the door.

Officer Yokomizo had already stepped onto the balcony and was looking down.

"There's a balcony outside the window... this is the 21st floor."

"It looks like Mr. Jiang Yuan fell from here."

Kogoro Mouri also came to the balcony. He swallowed calmly, held the railing and looked down tentatively.

The height of the 21st floor made him look away immediately, and he felt dizzy.

Kogoro Mori's face turned pale.

"This is dangerous! Mr. Maori."

Even so, Kogoro Mori could clearly see that the bronze statue where the deceased fell was exactly below 2101.

He leaned against the railing with a cold sweat on his face, but tried to speak calmly: "I think this is just a simple accident, right?"

"Just an accident?"

"It can't be wrong, right? Because his gloves are still caught on the railing."

Officer Yokomizo lowered his head following his gaze.

A white glove was stuck in the gap at the bottom of the railing, moving with the wind.

Kogoro Mouri quickly returned to his room and told Officer Yokomizo his speculation.

"I think he might have wanted to dress like this and jump off the balcony to scare the contestants living in the rooms below."

"I just didn't expect that the fake play would become real and cost me my life." Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, Maori Kogoro glanced at Li An, "His right hand was injured, wasn't it?"

"Perhaps when he was holding the railing, the glove on his left hand came loose and his right hand was injured and he couldn't use the strength, so he fell down."

He paused, and as if thinking of something, he explained to Li An: "This kind of injury is at most a trigger. It won't really involve you. At most, you need to take a statement to understand the whole story of his injury."

After all, no one knew he would fall off the railing.

"Mr. Maori's words make sense, so... this incident was indeed an accident?"

In the elevator, Yokomizo Sango briefly listened to what Li An said about what happened in the afternoon. He knew her name and that she had scratched someone with a ballpoint pen.

"Then... Miss Kuroba, we do need you to make a statement about the wound on Mr. Jiang Yuan's hand."

"According to what you said before, the ballpoint pen should be at the front desk. I don't know if anyone has replaced it..."

"Wait a moment." Li An interrupted Officer Yokomizo who was about to ask someone to go to the front desk.

"Huh? How..."

Conan, who was standing by, ran to the balcony at some point, grabbed a pen to check the location of the gloves, and also pricked up his ears.

Kuriyasu knew that Kogoro Mori comforted her because he was afraid that she would feel guilty about Mr. Ehara's "accidental" fall.

This kind of indirect guilt would probably be empathized by the gentleman involved in the rooftop incident three years ago.

However, she would not admit this kind of "indirect guilt", not to mention that this matter had nothing to do with her.

呲味——

Li An did not explain why he interrupted, but went straight to the point and asked: "When I examined Mr. Jiang Yuan's body just now, was there any blood on his right glove?"

Hearing her question, Maori Kogoro, who had examined the body and the gloves, thought carefully and said, "There is no blood seepage."

"The officer should be able to tell after checking Mr. Jiangyuan's wound on the base of his thumb." Kuriyasu gave Officer Yokomizo a rough description. "It should be relatively shallow near the base of his thumb, extending toward the wrist, and at most half the depth of a pen tip."

"If he fell accidentally and left his gloves here, it means he was holding onto the railing at the time."

"At the moment of the fall, he would have used his dominant hand to grab the railing first, followed by his other hand."

"No matter whether the glove on his left hand loosens first or later, or whether his right hand loses strength first or later, at the critical moment of life and death, he will definitely hold the railing tightly."

"And when he uses his own weight, his wound will definitely burst open, leaving blood stains inside and outside the glove."

"Since there is no blood..."

Strong winds rushed into the house, and the whistling sound reached my ears.

"Please consider whether Mr. Jiang Yuan really died in an accidental fall."
