Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

Yuya walked to the balcony, looked around, and soon noticed a hook lock hanging on the balcony railing.

"Inspector, this hook lock..."

Inspector Megure came over and said, "I'm afraid it was left by the criminal. He used this tool to get to the second floor and sneak into the room."

Yuya nodded slightly, turned around and saw that the glass at the bottom of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony was broken. Looking up, the upper one was intact and the lock was locked.

Inspector Megure saw his action and said, "Did Brother Kamiya notice it too? This window has two locks, one above and one below. It should be impossible to open the window by just breaking the lower glass. We haven't figured this out yet."

The maid suddenly said, "Maybe the lady forgot to lock it? She likes stars very much. She stands on the balcony and looks up at the stars every night."

"Look up? Stars?...shooting stars?" Yuya's eyes flickered slightly, and the memory of the dead suddenly began to attack him.

Soon he remembered the murderer's modus operandi... But it would be too abrupt to say it directly, so he still needed to act a little here, and also confirm the evidence.

Seeing Yuya in deep thought, Inspector Megure hurriedly asked: "Brother Kamiya, did you find anything?"

Yuya came back to his senses, shook his head and asked: "Did you detect anything on the rope and the window?"

Inspector Megure shook his head: "There are no fingerprints on the rope and the window. The murderer may be wearing gloves."

Yuya nodded: "As expected."

"But it's strange," Takagi Shi suddenly said, "Was the murderer too anxious when he left? Not only did he not take the rope hanging on the balcony, but he also threw the silencer pistol used to kill people on the lawn in the garden."

Yuya was silent and did not speak, his eyes quickly scanned the room, and finally fell on the dressing table.

Yuya asked, "Did the deceased wear earrings on her ears?"

Inspector Megure said, "Yes, the deceased wore a pearl earring on her right ear."

Yuya walked to the dressing table and looked at the pearl earrings, pinching his chin in thought: "This is very strange. If it was for money, why did he only take the necklace and bracelet, but ignore the pearl earrings on the table? Judging from the quality and workmanship, it should be able to sell for a lot of money."

Inspector Megure showed a thoughtful expression: "Now that you mention it, I originally thought that the murderer didn't see the earrings because the deceased was leaning against the wall, but it is indeed a bit strange that the one on the dressing table was not taken away."

"Besides," Yuya pointed at the earrings and said, "Since the earrings were placed on the table, it means that the deceased may have taken them off by herself. Then, why did she only take one off? Did something urgent happen that she didn't have time to take off the other one?"

"Or, did someone suddenly call her away when she took off the earrings?"

The faces of the people in the room changed suddenly.

Inspector Megure looked serious, looked at the maid and asked: "Excuse me, where were you between nine and ten last night?"

"Me, me?" The maid was a little flustered, she pinched her fingers and said, "I was chatting with two friends in the living room at that time."

Inspector Megure: "Did your friends see the lady?"

The maid nodded: "Yes, the lady came to the living room to check after she came back, and then came to the second floor to rest."

"What about little brother Touji?"

The maid said: "He has been resting in the room. Yesterday happened to be Setsubun on February 3rd. He has been running around in the room since the evening. I cleaned up the mess he made, and it was already twelve o'clock."

"February 3rd?" A trace of doubt flashed across Yuya's face. Is it this day?

Never mind, it's not important.

"February 3rd is the bean-scattering festival, right?"

The maid nodded: "Yes, there were a lot of beans in the room, and I vacuumed for a long time before I cleaned it up."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly: "What about Mr. Funamoto? Where was he at that time?"

The maid said: "Mr. Funamoto was pestered by the young master for a long time yesterday, so he went back to his room to rest before his wife came back."

Inspector Megure pondered for a while. The actions of these three people can be traced, and there is nothing suspicious so far.

So he looked at Yuya: "Brother Kamiya, what do you think?"

Yuya touched his chin: "I already have a general idea..."

Everyone looked at Yuya in surprise, and Conan's expression was the most exaggerated: No, he just had a preliminary guess, why do you look like you have seen through the truth?

"What?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes, "Brother Kamiya, you are still as fast as ever, so who is the murderer?"

Sure enough, asking Brother Kamiya for help was the right choice, I can get off work early and go home to have dinner with A-Lu again today.

Yuya's forehead went dark: What do you mean by fast as always? Inspector, can you finish your sentence?

He wanted to correct it, but it was not appropriate to say those jokes in front of the police.

Yuya pretended to cough, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the voice of Tatsuto Funamoto downstairs: "Hey, Miss Xiaomei, can you help me turn up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room?"

"Okay, I'll come right away." The maid responded loudly.

Inspector Megure was a little confused: "Is there no remote control for the air conditioner?"

The maid smiled awkwardly: "Mr. is not very good at electrical appliances."

Takagi Wataru suddenly realized: "It's just an electrical idiot, right? Just like the inspector..."

"Uh cough!" Inspector Megure coughed hard and glared at Takagi Wataru. You don't have to talk about my ignorance of computers everywhere.

Takagi Shigeru smiled awkwardly, opened the manual and pretended to check the contents recorded on it, muttering silently.

Hondou Eisuke looked at Inspector Megure, then at Yuya, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yuya suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Hondou, you seem to want to say something? Did you find any clues?"

Hondou Eisuke was startled and shook his head quickly: "No, no."

Everyone looked at him in confusion, but didn't say much.

Inspector Megure looked at Yuya: "Brother Kamiya, do you know who the murderer is?"

Yuya nodded: "Yes, if my reasoning is correct, the murderer is probably the male owner of this family, Mr. Funamoto Tatsuto."

"What?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes in surprise and immediately raised his own question, "But that should be impossible, right? According to the trajectory of the bullet, the murderer should be a person over 1.8 meters tall, and Mr. Funamoto is only 1.6 meters tall and sits in a wheelchair."

"Even if we find an excuse to let the deceased squat, there will be bullet holes in the room, and we didn't find similar traces."

"Standing in a wheelchair is not possible either. He went to the hospital for an X-ray test the day before yesterday. The fractured bones have not grown well yet, so there is no way to move like this."

Inspector Megure raised several questions in a row. Obviously, before Yuya came, they had already conducted a detailed investigation of the scene and made a preliminary analysis.

It's just that they checked, but there was no result.

Finally, he added: "In addition, if it wasn't a robber who was after money, we couldn't find the lost pearl necklace and bracelet after searching many places."

Yuya was silent for a while - he was waiting...

Sure enough, Hondou Eisuke finally found an opportunity. He didn't care about Yuya next to him and hurriedly said: "Could it be thrown away as garbage?"

Yuya sighed in his heart: He is still too young, and he was hooked by a simple hook.

Others looked at him in confusion: "Garbage?"

Mouri Ran suddenly realized: "By the way, maybe it has something to do with the incident that Hondou found?"

Takagi Wataru showed a blank expression: "What incident?"

Why did another incident suddenly appear?
