Corpse collector in Conan

"That's good." Jiang Xia always felt that Inspector Asa seemed to have a guilty conscience, but he was too lazy to expose it and just continued:

"After the murderer killed Mr. Nanjo, he turned off the lights on the 7th floor, and then used the black insulating tape to paste a black figure that was wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, starting from the bottom of the window and going up - the 7th floor. It's not too low, and the light is dim. Looking up from downstairs, it looks like a human figure.

"Then find a fishing line and pull the other end of the fishing line to the elevator car. After pushing the elevator to the 7th floor, tie the fishing line firmly in the gap between the elevator car and the elevator door. Then put the The fishing line was pulled all the way to the office on the seventh floor, and looped around the light switch at the door. Finally, the fishing line was pulled to the window and tied to the insulating tape that had been glued just now.

"After setting these up, as long as someone below presses the elevator, the elevator will go down from the 7th floor. The fishing line is pulled by the elevator car, first the light switch in the room is pulled, the light is turned on, and then the upper end of the insulating tape attached to the window is also It will be pulled down by this force.

"Just like that, the 'figure falling on the window' that was taped up was pulled apart from top to bottom. Looking up from the outside, it was like after the light was turned on, a person who was leaning against the window walked toward the door. , like running away in a hurry."

"After the tape was completely separated from the window, it was pulled by the fishing line towards the closed elevator door. The tape shaft was stuck outside the door and the fishing line was torn off. The unzipped tape would remain upstairs, causing the same situation as when we came up just now. The way you see it.”

"..."

Inspector Asa was confused after hearing this. He could only feel that the fishing line was winding around, looking very busy. For a moment, he could not judge whether Jiang Xia was right or not.

However, he looked around his subordinates and found that a few of them had enlightened expressions on their faces, so he realized that this was feasible.

"I see, I completely understand." Inspector Asa cleared his throat and said calmly, "But to be on the safe side, we still need to do a field experiment - you guys, after you collect the evidence, go restore the scene and see if this works. feasible."

Several young police officers nodded and ran out quickly.

Of course Inspector Asaph didn't have to do the little things like this experiment.

He reviewed the fishing lines in his mind, but he still felt that the various lines were tangled together, which was annoying.

Anyway, the experiment can be done soon. Inspector Asa simply stopped thinking about this detail and noticed other problems: "Wait, if that's the case, what happened to the gunshots that appeared on the 6th floor not long ago? ? Judging from the plan you mentioned, isn’t that too much?”

"This is indeed a redundant move, and it probably exceeded the murderer's expectation." Jiang Xia pointed to the tape Conan found:

"The murderer prepared a tape with gunshots recorded in advance. After killing Mr. Nanjo with a gun with a silencer, she went to the 6th floor, loaded the tape into a tape recorder and played it.

"In the recorded tape, there was a blank period of more than 10 minutes before the gunshots were fired. The murderer took advantage of this gap and appeared in front of us dressed as a person in the Death Array, making us think that he was in the Death Array. It was only when we chased him downstairs that we shot Mr. Nanjo."

"On the 6th and 7th floors, from downstairs, it is indeed difficult to tell which floor the murderer fired the gun. And in this way, after getting rid of us, the murderer can still sneak into us and create a Alibi.”

"……I see."

Inspector Asa nodded. For him, this was easier to understand than those too subtle methods.

He thought about it in his mind and suddenly understood: "The murderer didn't chase you with you at the time. And if you want to successfully disguise yourself as a 'Death God Array' and get rid of you, you must have good skills. There seem to be very few people who meet these two conditions. .Wait, that is to say, the murderer is actually..."

Inspector Asa recalled the testimony just now and his eyes fell on the door.

Nanjo Hayato's manager was standing there quietly, listening to their reasoning, clasping his hands tightly.

"Is this Ms. Yoshino?" Inspector Asa pointed at her. After seeing Jiang Xia nod, he turned to look at the agent, "I remember you just said that you were a stuntman? - In this line of work, the body The quality must be very good, and the running speed must be very fast.”

The agent's eyes were swaying, as if she was thinking desperately about something, but this sudden turn of events was so sudden that she didn't know where to refute it.

In the tense air, Jiang Xia continued: "There will be a second gunshot, actually because we have stayed here for too long - the tape recorder here is set to play back automatically after playing a tape. Ms. Yoshino may have just come into contact with this machine and is not yet proficient in using it, so she did not cancel this function.

"So an hour later, when she excused herself to pack up the projector and walked down to retrieve the fishing line tied to the top of the elevator, the tape happened to be redirected to the position where the gunshot was recorded.

"Gunshots rang out from the 6th floor, and 'shooting' happened again.

"This was beyond her expectation. Ms. Yoshino had no choice but to take out the tape in a hurry, hide it casually, then rush back to the stairs and lie to the people who came down that she saw the 'Death Formation' shooting at her."

The young police officer who listened with his ears pricked up suddenly realized: "No wonder there is no smoke reaction at the location where he fired - let me tell you, if the wind blew it away, how could it be blown away so completely."

Inspector Asa glanced at him faintly: Huh, hindsight, why didn't you dare to say it in front of the detective just now to give the London police a sigh of relief!

Yoshino Rimi did not expect that such a delicate technique could be restored as if it were actually seen.

She said in a panic: "But you don't have a certificate..."

"As for the evidence, you probably haven't had time to throw that ball of fishing line far away. There are also the clothes disguised as 'Inside the Death Array' and the gloves used when applying tape... Due to time constraints, these cannot be hidden too far away. , draw a line between the vanishing point of 'Inside the Death Array' and this building, and search along the way, it's not difficult to find those things."

"In addition, there is still real time to kill." Jiang Xia looked towards the door and saw Conan, who had a low sense of presence, running back.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that following Jiang Xia's gaze, other people were also looking at him. Conan was startled and immediately guessed where the conversation was going.

As a fake child, he was certainly not afraid of being stared at by everyone. He said naturally: "I just went upstairs to check. Among the pile of papers on the fax machine, there was indeed a piece of paper stained with blood. !”
