Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"And we also have to consider a possibility. When the prisoner squatted on the edge of the flowerbed to pull out the plants, would he not deliberately lean out?" Conan also rested his chin with his right hand, thinking, "In that case, the prisoner's arms would be longer than 65 centimeters. A few centimeters longer, the height may be a little higher, reaching 175 centimeters."

"So, arm length can only be used as an auxiliary judgment condition," Chi Feichi looked at the three children recorded, and said seriously, "Through this condition, we can first exclude children, short people with a height of less than 160, and those who are not tall A person with a short arm span at the same time."

"Tall people over 175 centimeters can also be placed in the second echelon of suspicion. Although tall people are not impossible, let's give priority to those who are of medium height and common height." Conan looked at the three children, He reminded with a smile, "Brother Chi added two points to determine the direction of the initial investigation. At the beginning of the investigation, spending a little time to determine the direction of the investigation will allow us to keep our thinking clear and our goals clear during the investigation process, and it will also save money. A lot of time, this is also a very important step in the investigation of the incident!"

Mitsuhiko thought about it, with confusion in his eyes.

He can understand Conan's meaning, and he can understand it, but... this is not a question of whether they pay attention to the direction of the investigation. The important thing is how to quickly find the direction of the investigation when encountering an incident. This is what he feels he needs to think clearly. question.

Hui Yuanai watched the three children's reactions of "seems to understand and seems to be more lost in the lake", and sighed inwardly, but couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Brother Feichi told the children in detail what the clues are, what they represent, and what direction to investigate. It should be to teach children how to determine the direction of investigation.

Her brother is really willing to face up to children's abilities and ideas, and will take children's abilities and ideas more seriously than many adults.

Now even Edogawa is like this, don't these two people feel that it is too early for the children to master this?

Chi Feichi didn't expect the children to master all of this at once, but just regarded it as a daily 'education'. Seeing the confused faces of the three children, he said, "When you go through more incident investigations, you will have experience."

"Holmes also said," Conan echoed with a smile, "If you can know the details of a thousand cases, but you can't explain the thousand and one cases, then it's a bad thing!"

"It's amazing... this must be a detective!" Okamura Saki exclaimed in amazement, and when Chi Feichi and the five children turned their attention to herself, she smiled a little embarrassedly, Soon he smiled generously, "I'm really sorry, I didn't intend to interrupt your discussion, but I just feel that both Mr. Chi and everyone are like detectives. Listening to your discussion, I feel like I'm listening to you." A very professional situation discussion meeting, really amazing!"

Hearing Saki Okamura's praise, the three children couldn't hold back their serious faces anymore, and looked at each other with a smile.

"Of course, we are also professionals..."

"Because we are..."

"—Boy detective team!"

Conan and Haibara Ai: "..."

When can the childish scene of registering their numbers loudly together be unnecessary?

"I've heard other children talk about your Boys' Detective Team before," Okamura Saki smiled and rolled his eyes, "I just found out today that everyone is so good!"

Chi Feichi saw that the corners of the mouths of the three children were almost raised to the sky, and reminded him loudly, "No matter how powerful you are, you still have to go to school. Shouldn't you go to school?"

The smile on Mitsuhiko's face froze instantly, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch, heaved a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's only 7:40."

"There is still a little time, let's investigate again!" Yuan Tai looked forward to suggesting.

Conan also had something to clarify, and echoed, "Brother Chi, isn't he going to see the flower shovel here? We can go to see it together, and then go to school, so we won't be late."

Chi Feichi didn't object, "Then please ask Ms. Okamura to take us to have a look."

"You're welcome, just call me 'Little Saki'." Okamura Saki stood up with a smile and led the way out of the lounge. "Everyone come with me. I'll take you to the place where the tools are kept."

The place where the flower shovels are stored is a tool storage room, which also keeps tools such as flower watering cans, wooden frames, and rope rings.

A group of people went to the storage room and gathered around a pile of large and small flower shovels.

Conan found the smallest flower shovel and showed it to others, "Is the surface of this flower shovel worn too badly? These smallest flower shovels seem to be purchased from the same batch. But the surface of this flower shovel has been scratched, and the edge is also a little bumpy, obviously the other flower shovels still look very new..."

Mitsuhiko looked the flower shovel up and down, and said positively, "It's very suspicious."

"And here..." Hui Yuanai pointed at the joint between the surface of the shovel and the handle, "There is soil in the gap, and there seems to be a little brown powder mixed in it."

Ayumi watched from the side, "Could it be the dust that was scraped off the bricks?"

Conan handed the flower shovel to Mitsuhiko, took out a handkerchief, wiped off the stains in the gap of the flower shovel with the handkerchief, spread the handkerchief again, and carefully looked at the stains on it, "There are indeed some reddish-brown fines... "

"Our bricks are fired in the studio over there, and there should be unused raw materials in the studio," Guangyan suggested positively, "Let's go get some materials for firing the turning head, and let Brother Chi Send it to the doctor for testing, so that you can know whether the reddish-brown fine powder left on the flower shovel is the powder scraped off the brick."

Chi Feichi had no choice but to pour cold water on Guangyan, "This is a flower shovel placed in the center of the district, and it has been used by many children. Even if the reddish-brown powder in the gaps was scratched from those bricks, it may be used by a certain child. When I was shoveling, I accidentally scratched a brick."

Conan looked at the other flower shovels, "There are more or less dust residues in the gaps of the other flower shovels here, which means that the flower shovels are not cleaned thoroughly after use, and there will still be dust in the gaps, so even if you confirm the powder inside It's brick powder, and it doesn't prove that the powder is the trace left by the criminal who used the flower shovel last night."

Seeing the three children looking at her, Okamura Saki smiled a little embarrassedly, "The gaps of this kind of flower shovel are difficult to clean, and a little dust left in the gap of the flower shovel will not delay the use, soaking in water for a long time, instead It will make the flower shovel less durable. In addition, recently, people have come to plant flowers every day, and then the flower garden was destroyed. Ms. Yamazaki and I often use the flower shovel, so we originally planned to use it for about a week. Perform a thorough cleaning."

"After all, it is an outdoor work tool, and it is normal that it cannot be kept spotless." Conan put the flower shovel back, "Okay, let's visit the place where the bricks are fired, and then go to school!"

"I'll take everyone there."

Saki Okamura led a group of people out of the storage room and arrived at the studio where the bricks were fired.

The bricks around the edge of the flower garden were all baked here by children in the Mihuacho area.

There is no limit to the number of bricks fired by each child. Some children even came here during the holidays and fired more than ten bricks in total.

However, when using bricks to surround the flowerbed, in order for the children to put their own bricks on the edge of the flowerbed, Okamura Saki and Yamazaki Toshiko made a rule for the children, each child can only provide one brick, and the remaining bricks You can take it home as a souvenir, or keep it at a regional center for future use when needed for an event.

Since there are shelves for storing bricks in the studio, after the children picked one and put it on the edge of the flowerbed, the other bricks basically stayed in the studio.

After taking a group of people to visit the studio, Okamura Saki was a little bit aggrieved when she went out, "The bricks in the flower garden were fired by the children themselves, how could that saboteur destroy the children's minds so recklessly? It's too much share!"

Guangyan followed and walked out of the gate, raised his head and said to Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, if the investigation has no clue, let's come to patrol tonight, that guy will probably come to destroy the flower garden again tonight!"

"The prisoner doesn't know when he will come to cause damage, so we can't keep watch all night, right?" Hui Yuan said sadly.

"Then keep watch all night," Yuan Tai was full of fighting spirit, "Anyway, we must catch that guy!"

"You don't need to keep watch all night. After you go to school, I'll go to the doctor's place to see if there are any tools that can be used," Chi Feichi said, "such as an early warning device that sounds an alarm when touched, some night alarms, etc. Even if there is no ready-made tool at the doctor's place, that kind of early warning device can be made soon, and the camera can be bought outside, and we can come over at night and install it."

In the yard, Conan quietly left the team, ran to the flowerbed and squatted down, took out three paper towels from his pocket, and wiped the three bricks thrown by the saboteurs with the paper towels, folded the paper towels in half, looked up and saw The footprints in the soil of the flower garden froze for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and quickly returned to the team.

Chi Feichi walked to the gate of the courtyard with the three children, and made an appointment to contact the children after school, so that the three children could go to school without worry.

Conan caught up with the team from the rear and walked up to Chi Feichi. Seeing the three children saying goodbye to Saki Okamura, he took the opportunity to take out his handkerchief, three folded tissues, and a small paper bag made of folded tissues. Wrap everything in a tissue and stuff it into Chi Feichi's hands.

In the next second, a face protruded from the side of Conan's head, and suddenly entered Conan's sight, which shocked Conan.

Hui Yuanai looked at the things in Chi Feichi's hands, and asked in a soft voice, "Just now in the studio, you secretly packed some raw material powder for brick firing, right? You guys want to secretly make some what?"
