Detective Conan: Twelve Death Warlocks

"Brother Maori, the main reason why I asked you to come here is because the secret room technique here is difficult to break no matter what method we use. That's why I asked you to help break such a secret room. However, at the scene, we

We also found the hook used by the other party to hit the back of the victim, Natsume, on the head, but other than that, even the forensic investigators did not find anything extra."

"That means that the police currently don't know how the hook appeared in this room?" Mouri Kogoro also said bluntly and carefully observed the room.

Mumu Shisan nodded, but then added: "So far, the forensic personnel have completed all the evidence collection work and completely restored it by comparing the photos of the scene. So, please, you must find it."

Really murderous."

Conan frowned slightly. How can I say this room? It felt like a utility room, but the victim regarded it as a study. Except for the ventilation window near the corridor at home, if the glass was removed, a child could still pass through.

, according to normal circumstances, there is no other way.

When he came in, Conan asked the last two forensics personnel who stayed to cooperate with the investigation, and found no scratches left by the window being taken down. In other words, according to the design, it could only be viewed from the outside.

Or it supports an included angle of 30 degrees with the center as the circle, and if this included angle extends to the ground, it will not be more than 1.6M away from the wall. Therefore, under such conditions, the people who appeared at home at that time would

It's basically impossible to be the murderer.

According to the police investigation, the victim's death time was around 9:00-9:30 a.m. There are seven people suspected, four of whom were present at his home at the time, and one is currently confirmed to be flying to Malaysia.

On the flight, the only people left without alibi were his unmarried sister, Miss Natsume, and Mr. Matsushita next door.

However, Conan was more suspicious of Mr. Matsushita, because although there was only one room in this room that could see the second floor next door, there was only a small 70-degree horizontal two-piece sliding transom window that could be opened from the side, but it was not impossible to commit a crime.

Because compared to the position where the hook is dropped, the angle of throwing it in from the outward transom is more suitable than that of throwing it in from the inside.

Moreover, if the person who did this is Miss Natsume, then the chance of her throwing it at an angle and hitting the back of the victim's head is still too low. Therefore, in this case, what I am looking for is nothing more than the secret room technique

and evidence that could identify the murderer.

The investigation of these characters from the outside, as well as the recorded confessions and photos of the scene are all ready-made. This saves a lot of steps. Of course, these suspects are currently invited to the living room by the police, including Takagi Wataru and Chiba

Kazunobu and Miwako Sakuramiya, who had just joined the Metropolitan Police Department as an intern, were in charge.

Conan laughed dryly. He had already read everything when Kogoro Mori asked those unnecessary questions. The rest was to ask them what they didn't have in the file.

thing.

"Sister Sakuramiya, by the way, isn't so-and-so still working as a physical education teacher at Teidan High School as Miwako Sakuramiya?"

"He said that this way you can protect them at close range and give you no worries."

Conan looked sideways, with a look of helplessness on his face, as if he had known that Aco would say this. However, he was still very confused about the case in front of him: "Sister Sakuranomiya, have you followed several police officers to the police from the beginning?

?”

Sakuramiya Miwako nodded slightly, and Conan began to ask her questions. There is no doubt that Sakuramiya Miwako is an agent of the GC, so her observations will be relatively quick, so she looked at the people present: "I want to know,

There are some specific details about Mr. Matsushita next door. Because this case is unusual and cannot be done by ordinary people, the prisoner must have special skills."

Looking at Conan, Miwako Sakuramiya smiled slightly: "What? Do you suspect that Mr. Matsushita did it?"

"Because he is the only one who has the conditions to commit the crime. Although I haven't figured out his murder method yet, maybe I can find out the truth from this direction."

Conan did not pretend, but looked at her calmly.

Miwako Sakuramiya dug out her police manual, which indeed recorded some content that was not in the document: "Mr. Matsushita once worked in the GUTS shooting club, where 'GUTS' stands for victory. Two years ago, he was shot due to a car accident.

His right hand was injured and he would tremble unconsciously due to overexertion, so he took a back seat as a shooting coach."

Conan was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little stunned: "That means, if his condition is not tired, the accuracy can still be determined."

"You are right. I did hear such rumors during the investigation. It is said that if Mr. Matsushita can guarantee that the first six shots will not go out of the ninth ring when shooting, then half of the existing team members will

No one can match his level. Moreover, I also heard something, that is, if Mr. Matsushita misses the bullseye with the first shot, he will be at his permanent peak from the second shot."

Conan was shocked when he heard what Miwako Sakuramiya said. If this is the case, doesn't it mean...

"But I don't think it was caused by shooting." Miwako Sakuramiya poured cold water on Conan directly. This made Conan's expression a little surprised.

"Because Mr. Natsume did not fall with his back to the window, or at a slight angle, and there were no traces of struggling or crawling on the ground, and there was no trace of this on his clothes.

wrinkles, so I think he should have been killed on the spot."

After hearing Sakuramiya Miwako's analysis, Conan nodded slightly. Her words were not entirely unreasonable. If so, the other party must have devised some kind of technique.

After walking out, Conan went to the nearby store and bought a bottle of Coke, then sat on the chair next to him, feeling confused.

Except for the windows and the wall near the corridor, there are no bookshelves at the scene. The desk is inside. In other words, whether the victim goes out or comes in, he will pass through the transom. There is no doubt about this, but who is the murderer?

How did you use a hook to kill the victim, Mr. Natsume? Also, what method was used to leave no trace of the crime at the scene.
