Conan’s Corpse Picker

This sudden movement startled everyone, but the two security guards were suddenly stunned, and then said excitedly: "That's the sound, we heard it once before!"

After the water waves caused by the fish tank calmed down, a man stood up in the water.

The Mumu Police Department looked at the drowned subordinate and were extremely shocked: "Takagi? When did you go there?!"

Officer Takagi wiped the water from his head and picked up the fish tank. He looked at the Memu Police Department and felt a little unbelievable himself: "I have been under the water. Did you really not see me just now?"

"That's right." Police Department Memu scratched his head, almost feeling like he was being haunted. "You didn't sneak in while the fish tank was floating up, right?"

Officer Takagi, who had been lying in the upside-down fish tank for a long time: "Of course not!"

"That's it." Next to her, Judy pushed up her glasses and understood. "Although water and air are both transparent, they have different refractive indexes for light. If you look at it from an angle close to perpendicular to the interface, the light will It is reflected back like a mirror, so people on the shore cannot see what is in the fish tank.

"Officer Takagi was hiding in the wide upside-down fish tank just now, so others could not see him from the shore. The only angle from which he could see it clearly was from directly above, but this swimming pool is relatively spacious, unless you can fly , otherwise no one can reach that angle.”

Judy's voice dropped as she spoke - she found Jiang Xia looking at him.

I don't know why, but this was obviously a harmless high school student, but Judy was stared at by him and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "..." Suddenly he realized that you are quite suitable to be a detective assistant.

As a result, as soon as she finished boasting in her heart, Judy stopped talking.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He had no choice but to continue: "As long as the murderer returns to the swimming pool alone and makes up an excuse to the deceased, such as 'I saw it, the necklace is here', he can make the deceased take the initiative to dive. It is difficult for people to struggle in the water. Please ask for help." Her voice couldn't travel too far, so the murderer took the opportunity to remove her oxygen, and then, with the help of the deceased's own weight, pushed her into the swimming pool and drowned her.

"The murderer then took the fish tank and fishing line he had prepared in advance. He took the deceased to the center of the bottom of the swimming pool and placed the body in a curled up position so that she was completely covered by the glass fish tank.

"After placing the fish tank, the murderer used fishing lines to go around the drainage holes and hooks on both sides of the pool, and firmly pressed the fish tank to the bottom of the pool. After doing this, he returned to the fish tank and reached his hand from the bottom edge of the fish tank. The oxygen tank on the deceased was opened.

"The air released from the oxygen cylinder quickly fills the fish tank, and the people in the fish tank become 'invisible' in the swimming pool. This can confuse the time of death, create an alibi for oneself, and create the illusion that the deceased 'died accidentally diving' Illusion.”

Officer Takagi nodded while listening, but suddenly felt something was wrong in the middle of the nod: "But I remember that the fish tank used by the murderer was broken, and it was broken near the edge of the swimming pool, not in the middle."

Jiang Xia looked at the hotel manager: "Then I have to ask Mr. Toshima."

Everyone was startled at first, and then immediately understood what this sentence meant. The front desk and security guards standing next to the hotel manager backed away and looked at their boss with a little fear.

The fiancé was also shocked. He hesitated and said: "After the body appeared, I almost stayed with Mr. Toshima. He probably didn't have time to carry the fish tank under the water - the only time he went into the water was to fish for Yongmei with me. At that time, he was holding the oxygen tank and couldn't free his hands to get anything else."

Jiang Xia: "So I took it with my feet."

fiancé:"?"

Jiang Xia: "You had been looking at the corpse and calling her loudly, so you probably didn't have time to pay attention to your surroundings. At that time, Mr. Toshima quietly adjusted the position of the fish tank with his feet, so that its opening faced upwards, and then put one foot into the tank , pull it and follow you to the shore.

"When he was about to land, while everyone else was looking at the body, Mr. Toshima smashed the fish tank into pieces with the oxygen cylinder in his hand to prevent anyone from thinking about the real purpose of the fish tank. Breaking things underwater doesn't make much noise, not to mention everyone at the time. Everyone was exclaiming 'Miss Oiso', he succeeded easily.

"A person died in the swimming pool. When the police came to investigate, they would probably drain the water and take a closer look. The murderer knew that the sink was difficult to hide, so he simply stepped on the debris and let it scratch his feet, and used this method The victim's perspective exposes the incident to reduce his own suspicion."

Manager Mr. Toyoshima finally had time to interrupt at this time, and his lips moved: "Proof..."

"After cutting the fishing line and letting the body appear in the water, Mr. Toshima must recover the section of fishing line across the swimming pool as soon as possible to prevent this conspicuous line from being seen by others and guessing its purpose. In order to reduce the size of those lines To facilitate hiding, the murderer needs to roll the fishing line into a ball. Although the fishing line is very thin, fingerprints can be left on the flat surface formed by rolling it together."

Jiang Xia said: "In addition, for the sake of safety, the fish tanks in this hotel have no edges and corners. The rectangular fish tank used in the murder needs to be prepared separately. Your purchase record can also be used as evidence. Of course, there is also the most important thing - the deceased's missing coin." The necklace should have been taken off quietly when you were applying sunscreen on her. The necklace has a fragile structure and can easily leave fingerprints where you didn't notice..."

"Okay, stop talking!" The hotel manager had a headache from his long words, "I am the one who killed him!"

Suzuki Sonoko had read too much live gossip, and thought that the murderer was either the deceased's fiancé or her sister, and the old manager was just a make-up.

In the end, I didn’t expect that the person who made up the numbers was the real culprit.

She sighed for a moment and was a little curious: "Why did you kill her? Was it because you were afraid that she would kick you out of the company?"

After a pause, she muttered again: "That's not right. She just said she wanted to drive you away today. You stole her necklace before she said this."

Conan looked at her with admiration: After just a month or two of not going to school together, Suzuki Sonoko can actually reason!

Next to him, the hotel manager heard what Suzuki Sonoko said and took a deep breath:

“I didn’t want to celebrate her birthday, especially in that suite.

"I have a sister who is much younger than me, and she is my only relative. A while ago, my sister and her husband came to me and said they wanted to stay in that suite for one night to celebrate the birthday of their three-year-old son. .

"That is the signature room of this hotel. It is located on the top floor and is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. At night, you can see the starry sky and the entire downtown street view. On my nephew's birthday, it can also clearly appreciate the nearby fireworks. General Assembly."
