Conan: Another Famous Detective

Akira Hanomiya pointed at the pair of shoes and said: "In many movies and TV dramas, suicides will leave their shoes like this after jumping off the building, so it's not surprising that you have this understanding."

"But that is just an artistic expression technique to increase dramatic tension. In real cases of suicide by jumping from a building, most people will not take off their shoes."

"And, from what you said, the person who fell from the building was very drunk before, right?"

"Uh, yes..." Ms. Hirukawa nodded.

"So, would a person who is already delirious think about taking off his coat and shoes and putting the shoes neatly on his coat before committing suicide?"

"This..." The expressions of several middle-aged people were shaken.

Akira Hagong continued: "Of course, strictly speaking, there may be a very small number of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if they are drunk, they may make such a display based on certain habits."

"Hey! Isn't the possibility too small?" The young man beside him couldn't help but said.

"But you can't guarantee that there is no such person in this world, right?" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

A gleam flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said with a slightly provocative tone: "Then if you take this possibility into account, how can you be sure that this is suicide?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Yu Gongming came to the guardrail and touched his finger on the cement guardrail.

A layer of dust was directly wiped off by Yu Gongming, leaving clear traces.

The young man's expression changed slightly when he saw this!

Yu Gongming glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems you understand it, right? Why don't you talk about it?"

When the young man heard this, he cursed in his heart: "Did this guy do it on purpose?"

Pouting his lips invisibly, the young man said: "You just wiped it on the guardrail, leaving very obvious marks. Such marks will not disappear in a short period of time."

"Then, if the person who fell committed suicide, whether he climbed directly over the balcony or jumped from the balcony, there should be traces left."

The boy pointed to the guardrail around his coat and shoes and said, "But there are no similar traces left around here now."

"Those who fell from the building committed suicide by either standing on their shoes and jumping off, or by climbing over the guardrail with their hands on their shoes or coats."

"However, there are no signs of oppression on either the shoes or the coat, and the dust around them has not been wiped away. So where did the jumper jump from?"

Akira Hanamong added with a smile: "Unless he takes off his coat and shoes first, runs with socks or bare feet, and jumps directly without touching the guardrail."

"But on this point, as long as the police come to conduct footprint identification later, they can draw an accurate conclusion. I hope the police can detect the footsteps of the deceased's running, so that we don't have to worry about finding the murderer."

The young man couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it's beyond common sense, right?"

Yu Gongming shrugged: "So I don't have much hope. I can only go to more trouble to find the murderer."

After a pause, he looked at the young man with interest: "I didn't expect that in addition to your physical skills, your reasoning ability is also quite good! What do you call it?"

The young man put his hands in his pockets and put on a confident smile: "My name is Sera, and like you, I am a detective."

Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It turns out that we are traveling together. That's a coincidence."

Conan on the side glanced at Sera with a vague look: "A detective... If he is a detective, he should pay more attention to Hanomiya. Why does he seem to be more interested in me?"

On the other side, Sera smiled and said: "Yeah, it's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Detective Hanomiya today. I have to say, it is indeed well-deserved."

"Thank you, for those of us, it was just the most basic reasoning." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

Sera also smiled back: "That's true, and the murderer shouldn't be difficult to find. I just informed the guards to monitor the entrances to the elevator and stairs."

Yu Gongming nodded slightly: "I hope I can photograph the murderer."

He raised his head slightly and looked towards the hotel not far away: "The police are almost here. Let's go down and meet the police first."

Everyone nodded.

…………

Officer Takagi opened his notepad and said, "After inspection by forensic personnel, no barefoot or socks-wearing footprints with large strides were found on the roof, completely ruling out the possibility of suicide."

"In addition, we have investigated the surveillance. Before and after the incident, the only people who entered and exited the building were Detective Hanomiya."

"What? Is there no one else?" Sera said in surprise.

"Yes, there is no one else." Officer Takagi nodded.

Officer Megure on the side looked at Serang: "By the way, I heard from the guard that you asked him to watch the surveillance after the incident. May I ask who you are..."

"My name is Sera, and I work with Detective Hanomiya." Sera smiled.

"Detective?" Officer Takagi asked in surprise.

Officer Memu's face looked a little uncomfortable.

Detective Megure, who has worked with Akira Hanomiya many times and knows how to measure things, is no longer averse to him, but like other young detectives, Officer Megure still has a lot of headaches.

A typical representative is a certain Osaka black chicken.

Officer Megure has never had a very good impression of Hattori Heiji.

Perhaps because his father is the head of the Osaka Prefecture, he has little respect for the police at the scene of the crime. He does not care about the police investigation process and goes his own way. Sometimes he is even suspected of destroying the scene.

To sum up, Officer Megure instinctively doesn't like the unfamiliar detective.

On the side, Sera didn't know what Officer Megure was thinking. He stared at the man lying on the ground and wondered: "Speaking of which, why does he live in the annex? Isn't the annex under renovation and cannot be accommodated?"

Officer Megure said: "The person who fell to his death was Mr. Sadago Kamizumi. He was the son of the owner of this Aipido restaurant. I heard that he was particularly accommodating and allowed him to live here in order to avoid the attention of the media."

"The attention of the media?" Xiaolan asked in surprise: "Is he some kind of public figure?"

Officer Megure nodded: "Yes, he was once arrested for being the mastermind of a fraud group, but was later released due to lack of evidence. Now he is being reported in gossip magazines."

Police officer Takagi added: "But after he discovered that the media was following him, he lost control of his emotions, and the storm did not subside until last week."

"He once became violent with the media reporters who were following him and smashed the windows on the sixth floor with a fire extinguisher. After that, the number of guests staying in the annex dropped sharply. The hotel also believed that he could not be allowed to live here and cause trouble."

"The outside world is rumoring that the hotel wanted him to secretly immigrate abroad in the name of renovating the annex."

"That's why we victims came here to see him." Ms. Hirukawa said.

"I just want him to escape abroad..." the fat woman said.

"Hear him apologize to us victims!" the middle-aged man finally said.
