Conan Moslin

After listening to Kuriyasu's words, Kogoro Mori and Officer Yokomizo fell into deep thought.

Soon, Officer Yokomizo raised questions.

"You have a point, but his dominant hand..."

Maori Kogoro recalled the condition of the corpse and immediately replied, "I have seen his tie before. His dominant hand is indeed his right hand."

Then he turned to Li An and said, "Hei Yu, do you think Mr. Jiang Yuan's fall from the building...was not an accident?"

Li An would not give them a definite answer: "This is all I saw."

She is stating facts.

Even if she knew the general circumstances of the case, she could not be sure whether this could be used as evidence to obtain evidence.

Besides, if it wasn’t…it ​​wasn’t in the first place.

If it wasn't an accident, she would be considered one of the suspects.

Can we really confirm whether this person died accidentally based on the fact that “there is no blood”?

Is there any other evidence that has not been discovered?

She had no intention of examining the body, so she decided to leave this matter to Mr. Maori and Conan.

Conan checked the situation on the balcony. He held the pen and thought carefully about what Li An said. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he tentatively added: "Uncle Maori, isn't this the 21st floor? Would an ordinary person go downstairs from the balcony without a rope?"

"Even Uncle Maori, you don't dare to come near here..."

"Mr. Jiang Yuan was injured, so he should have prepared a rope."

"Besides, the key to this room is clearly in the room. Even if he is lucky enough to reach the balcony below and come out of the room downstairs to scare people, he still can't come back to this place without the key to this room, right?"

Maori Kogoro was originally thinking about what Li An had just said, and he became angry when he heard his words: "What are you talking about, kid? Why don't I dare to go to the balcony?!"

Boom!

"Ah! My pen!!"

Li An looked at the farce in front of him and felt that the wind tonight was particularly noisy.

……

Because it is impossible to determine whether Jiang Yuan was still conscious before his death, and given the detail that there was no blood stain on Jiang Yuan Shinan's right glove, it is questionable whether the deceased really fell from the building accidentally.

But using this as a breakthrough, Kogoro Mori and Officer Yokomizo decided to go back to the scene to check on the body.

Halfway through, Li An took Dr. Agasa and a few others downstairs.

The three people of Terai were not the type to join in the fun, so even if they heard the sirens downstairs, they would not think of going out.

So when he learned that the murder was committed by someone in the tour group, Grandpa Terai became very nervous.

“Grandpa Terai, I wasn’t scared.” Li An was a little helpless. “Miss Kamijou and I were on the other side of the building at the time. We only heard screams.”

Is she someone who gets scared so easily?

However, in the face of Grandpa Terai's concern, she let him look at her.

Terai Huang Zhisuke observed Kurian several times and found that Miss Kurian was not frightened by this incident, so he reluctantly put his mind at ease. However, he was thinking about the self-defense props he brought with him, and thinking about tinkering with something else with Dr. Agasa.

Dr. Agasa was quite calm. It might be that he had gotten used to it as the number of cases he had encountered had increased dramatically recently.

but……

"Do Xiao Ai and I need to go and take a statement?"

"That person caused trouble for Sister Li An in the afternoon. Will he be suspected?"

When they learned that the deceased was Tokio Ehara from the tour group, Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai spoke almost at the same time.

Grandpa Terai looked at the old man and the child with some surprise.

As soon as he caught the word "trouble", he put aside his surprise and turned to look at Li An with an expression that said, "Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

Li An felt even more helpless.

……

The scene of the fall at this time.

"The deceased, Jiang Yuan Shinan, was 32 years old and a computer programmer."

"The deceased fell from a height onto the bronze statue with his back facing down. His chest was pierced vertically by the sword of the bronze statue. The cause of death was caused by a fall injury..."

The officer's brief report arrived late.

After hearing his report, Conan, who was looking for a pen near the bronze statue, stopped searching and looked at the people in the crowd thoughtfully.

The members of the tour group, one dead and six alive, are all here.

They were either standing or sitting, some with their arms folded or leaning on crutches, but their attention was on the dead body covered with a white cloth, and they were asking questions to Kogoro Mouri who was examining the body again.

The first person to speak was Maeda Satoshi, who had reunited with his fiancée: "Is this true, Mr. Mori? Did Mr. Ehara really fall downstairs and die?"

Although Mao Lilan asked everyone in the tour group to gather together and briefly explained the situation, he still found it difficult to believe it.

Kamijou Hideko had already put her facial expressions in order and answered before Mr. Mori: "It is absolutely correct. The one who fell was Ehara Tokio, and he was wearing a mask."

"A... a mask?"

The expressions of several people changed, as if they thought of something.

Shiro Konno held his beloved computer and began typing.

"I understand. It turns out that the organizer of this tour group is the Duke of Dark Night, Mr. Jiang Yuan."

Akiko Sayama made sarcastic remarks in a sarcastic tone.

"I knew it, because I felt that person was weird from the beginning!"

Jincheng Xuanyilang sighed, but the servant behind him remained expressionless.

"But, I didn't expect that the undead weirdo Duke of Darkness would actually die... I was so careless."

At this time, Professor Agasa and Ai squeezed into the team.

Li An finally got rid of Grandpa Terai's instructions and felt that he had spent the entire afternoon sighing.

Now, the Izu tour group is completely complete.

Officer Yokomizo felt overwhelmed when he saw the group of strange people gathered by Mouri Ran.

He turned to Maori Kogoro to confirm: "Are you... the members of the tour group?"

Kogoro Mouri nodded and introduced them to Officer Yokomizo one by one.

"But why did he do this?" The tour group representative Maeda Satoshi spoke again.

Maori Kogoro was silent for a moment: "Maybe this is not an accident."

"It wasn't an accident? How are you sure?"

"I have discovered some suspicious points..."

“How weird!!!”

Conan racked his brains and finally came up with this sentence.

"Uncle Maori, the wound on Mr. Jiang Yuan's chest is almost the same as the torn part of the cloak that was exposed!"

"Isn't that certain?" Maori Kogoro said unhappily, "He fell vertically on his back..."

and many more.

The deceased fell vertically onto the bronze statue with his face up!

Conan retreated with his mission accomplished and continued to look for the pen, while Kogoro Mouri asked for photos of the scene.

Judging from the distant knowledge that Maori Kogoro had almost forgotten -

Falling from height is a type of blunt force injury caused by deceleration. The impact force caused by the deceased falling to the ground can cause head fracture, intracranial hemorrhage, or internal organ rupture, body cavity bleeding and accompanied by fractures. Mr. Jiang Yuan should belong to the latter.

When in a conscious state, the final situation caused by falling from a height should be that the head, feet, hips, hands or elbows touch the ground first, which is the reaction of resisting the ground when landing.

Generally, a conscious person will not land on his back or prone.

With this subconscious adjustment of movement, the sword wound caused by the bronze statue should have penetrated his body obliquely, not vertically.

Plus what Kuroba Kuriyasu said about the gloves… that’s enough.

This is not an accident! This is a complete murder!

Kogoro Mori suddenly understood and told him all his thoughts.

"...Mr. Jiang Yuan was unconscious when he fell from the building. Therefore, he did not put on the clothes by himself, but someone helped him put them on!"

"So, Mr. Jiang Yuan was pushed down from the room on the 21st floor onto the bronze statue by the real 'Duke of Darkness'."

"So... the murderer, the Dark Night Duke, is still among the members of the tour group!"
