Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 735 Approaching the truth

"Huh? Brother Hanomiya, what's your problem?" Officer Megure asked.

Yu Gongming glanced at the deceased, and then said: "I would like to ask, how did the police determine the height of the gangster?"

"This is based on the victim's confession." Officer Sato explained:

"The second victim was attacked from behind. He was in a coma until he was discovered by passers-by and sent to the hospital. After that, he was very nervous. He never came to us to record a statement and did not provide us with much. clue."

"However, the first and third victims both said the criminal was about the same height as them."

Officer Takagi also added: "I measured the height of the two ladies at that time. The first lady was 151 centimeters and the third lady was 153 centimeters."

"That's why we think the gangster's height is about 150 centimeters."

"I see..." Yu Gongming nodded slightly.

"It's strange... I always feel like there's something weird about this girl..." Xiao Lan suddenly showed hesitation.

"What's weird?" Conan looked at Xiaolan in confusion.

"Eh? After hearing what you said, I seem to feel that something is wrong..." Yuanzi also said.

Yu Gongming looked at the deceased, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he said, "Can you lend me a pair of gloves?"

"Oh, okay!" Officer Takagi immediately brought a pair of gloves and handed them to Hanemiya Akira.

Yu Gongming put on his gloves, then squatted down and reached out to touch the deceased's shoes.

Soon, he pulled off one of the deceased's high heels.

"Brother Hanomiya, what are you..." Officer Megure said in confusion.

Akira Hanomiya turned around and handed the shoes to Officer Megure: "Officer, if you put the shoes on the deceased again, you will understand."

Although Officer Megure was confused, out of his trust in Hanomiya Akira, he took action without much hesitation.

Squatting down, Officer Memu lifted the deceased's feet and tried to put on the shoes.

However, I can't put these shoes on!

"Huh? These shoes don't fit?" Officer Megure asked in surprise.

"Could it be that these shoes do not belong to the deceased?" Officer Sato widened his eyes slightly.

Meng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "It is impossible for a fashionable woman like the deceased to go out wearing ill-fitting shoes. In other words, these shoes were probably put on by the murderer for the deceased!"

"But why did the murderer do this?" Officer Megure asked doubtfully.

"I know!" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Huh? You know?" Everyone looked at Mengyu.

"Yes! I also know what the strange place Xiaolan and Yuanzi were talking about just now!" Mengyu didn't show off, and explained:

"Girls dressed like this nowadays usually don't wear the shoes on the feet of the deceased. Instead, they wear thick-soled shoes with a bottom that is more than ten centimeters!"

"The murderer put the deceased into shoes, probably just to hide this!"

"You mean...height?" Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" Mengyu nodded: "I think the first few victims were probably wearing thick-soled shoes when they were attacked."

"And the height of the gangster they described should be the height of thick-soled shoes!"

"So that's it! Their testimony was indeed just that [the gangster was about the same height as them], and this was their perspective when they met the gangster at that time!" Officer Sato suddenly said.

"In other words, the murderer is probably between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall?" Officer Megure immediately looked at the guard with sharp eyes.

Among the heights reported just now, only the guard fits this height range!

"No...it's not me!" the guard suddenly shouted excitedly.

"But, your height is the only one here, and you were the only one in the parking lot at that time, right?" Officer Sato also said in a deep voice.

"But! It's really not me!" the guard argued vehemently.

"Eh? The second sister seems a little strange too!" Conan's childish voice sounded.

"Huh? Conan, did you find anything?" Officer Sato knelt down and asked.

"Hmm!" Conan pointed to the photo of the second victim and said, "This sister was attacked after she came out of the public toilet in the middle of the night, right?"

"Yes, you see there is a corner of the public toilet on the scam." Officer Sato smiled.

Conan pointed to the photo and continued: "Well! Since she was discovered by passers-by, that means she has no companions."

"Then why does she have a man's coat on her?"

"Oh! I put this on her when I found her because it was cold that night." Officer Takagi explained.

"In that case, why did that sister go to the park wearing such thin clothes on such a cold day?"

"Eh?" Both police officers Sato and Takagi were stunned.

"You want to say that she stayed in a warm place before, and going out to the bathroom was only temporary, right? For example... in the car?" Yu Gongming pointed out the key point directly.

"Yes!" Conan nodded immediately, thinking that Hanomiya was indeed quick to respond.

"It seems like she didn't say that her coat was stolen..." Officer Takagi recalled.

Officer Sato's expression changed: "Wait a minute! I remember that the first and third victims seemed to have been attacked after getting out of the car, right?"

"That's right!" Officer Takagi confirmed.

"Now, let's confirm with the second victim!" Officer Megure ordered.

"Yes! I'll get in touch right away!" Officer Takagi responded and ran out.

Officer Megure touched his chin: "If the situation is confirmed, then the murderer's target is a female driver wearing thick-soled shoes."

…………

Officer Takagi ran back and said excitedly: "Officer! It's confirmed! The second victim did get out of the car to go to the toilet!"

Officer Megure perked up and said, "Okay! This is a very important discovery!"

Akira Hanomiya's heart moved, and he suddenly looked at Officer Sato: "Officer Sato, what was the cause of the car accident a year ago?"

"Well..." Officer Sato recalled: "I remember that it seemed that because the deceased was wearing thick-soled shoes, his sensitivity to the brakes was reduced, which ultimately led to the car accident."

"At that time, the child's parents, who had long been divorced, strongly advocated this cause of the accident, but the judge did not accept it."

"The child's parents have divorced a long time ago?" Officer Memu was stunned.

Officer Sato nodded: "Yes, I heard that it is because the man often drinks too much. I remember that the child's divorced father's last name seems to be..."

Having said this, Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and locked his gaze on someone present!

"Officer...what's wrong?" The man being stared at looked panicked.

Officer Sato's eyes became extremely sharp and he said calmly: "The father's last name is the deposit. If I remember correctly, it is the same as your last name... Mr. Guard?"
