Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 490 Desperate Death Cries

"Suicide?"

Gao Cheng stood next to the corpse with his hands intertwined, and noticed thin marks on the wrist of the corpse while the forensic personnel were moving the corpse.

Like traces of being strangled by some kind of thin thread...

Gao Cheng grabbed the old man's arm and looked at it, his eyes narrowed.

"It's too early to say it's suicide, Sergeant Mountain Village."

"Huh?" Uncle Maori and his party stopped.

"This is," Shancun Cao said in surprise, "it seems to be tied up by something! It seems..."

"It should be traces of rubber bands," Akashi Hiroto interrupted with a trace of cold sweat, "My dad likes to use rubber bands to tie everything up, and usually there are rubber bands around his wrists..."

"Rubber bands?"

"Officer," said the officer, "there are quite a few rubber bands under the pillow."

"This, this is it."

Shancun was discouraged again: "This old man is really strange."

"My dad did have some mental problems," Akashi Hiroto said, looking at the old man's body. "He said some strange things during dinner, so I chatted with him for a long time before leaving."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he said that he should just die, but I didn't expect it would really turn out like this..."

The night was thick, the rain kept washing the forest and the only old house in the forest. As the bell rang, it was 1:00 in the morning. Everyone waiting in the living room gradually yawned, but the investigation still failed. Finish.

Gao Cheng acted as a temporary forensic doctor to help examine the corpse, and Conan followed him like a follower, trying to speak but unable to make a sound.

"Are you dumb? I tell you that you like to talk a lot."

After checking Conan's throat, Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just lost my voice temporarily, and I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to have a look."

Conan looked anxious: "Ahh..."

"Do not worry,

I will not let this suicide case be closed, I also know who the murderer is..."

Gao Cheng filtered the clues in his mind, and looked directly at Yan Fu Akashi's bleeding gums.

"In medicine, especially in dentistry, I know better than you... well, I'm much smarter than you."

"..." Conan scratched his throat and protested silently.

"There is one more crucial thing missing." Gao Cheng ignored Conan and looked around the room intently. "It should still be in this room..."

...

In the living room on the first floor, Yamamura found the tired people, and asked embarrassingly, "Everyone has worked hard, did you remember anything? For example, suspicious people appeared around, or heard strange sounds..."

"This..."

"Speaking of it," Xiaolan recalled under Shancuncao's expectant gaze, "the first time I went upstairs, I heard that old man's whimpering sound coming from his room, as if he was crying... ..."

"Cry, cry?"

"I must have been crying when I decided to commit suicide." Uncle Mao Li propped his chin and said in a daze. "Anyway, the incident this time is very obvious. Mr. Yan Fu who was in the bedroom on the second floor hanged himself at around 9:30 p.m. Yes, at that time, Xiaolan, Conan, Sonoko, Hiroto... and Kido Kid were all in this living room, with an alibi...

"And I was in the shower at the time and I had no motive for committing the crime, and I didn't even know where the rope was... and Xiaolan went to check twice, the first time it was turned on, and the second time the light was turned off. This is suicide no matter how you look at it." , I can only think that Mr. Yan Fu turned off the light in the bedroom by himself, and then hanged himself, so we should finish the search and go back quickly..."

"It's murder."

Gao Cheng led Conan to open the paper door of the living room, interrupting everyone's conversation.

"Mr. Yan Fu was murdered..."

"What?" Uncle Mao Li looked back at Gao Cheng, "How could it be murder?!"

"Actually, I should have thought about it when I met Mr. Hiroto during the day." Gao Cheng looked at the sitting Akashi Hiroto, "Mr. Hiroto went to the tennis court not entirely because he was nostalgic for his dead wife, but because he planned to do it from the beginning." Invite someone to come to your house as a guest, right?"

"I want to invite students..."

"To be precise, it is to ask someone to do an alibi for me."

Gao Cheng affirmed: "The student who was supposed to be looking for was not at the tennis court because it was raining, so he wanted to come over to me. After being rejected by me, he unexpectedly waited for us at night. The proof is the extra large portion of curry rice... ..."

"I usually make a lot of curry," Akashi Hiroto said with a stiff smile, "Because I often entertain students with better relationships for dinner, but unfortunately it rained today and no one came to the tennis court..."

"Is that so?" Gao Cheng stared at Akashi Kuan and said, "I just wanted to ask you, you said Mr. Yan Fu went to the dentist a few days ago, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

"You can't eat irritating food after tooth extraction. How could you prepare spicy curry for your father as an athlete health coach?"

"That's true, but I didn't know that Dad pulled out his teeth," Akashi Hiroto said sweatingly, "and the spicy curry was also requested by my dad... Detective Kido, do you suspect that I killed Dad? ? How could I..."

"Just now the police found a tooth in the plate of leftover curry," Gao Cheng continued to look directly at Akashi Kuanren, "and we also checked Mr. Yan Fu's mouth. If it was pulled out a few days ago, the root of the tooth would be The wound will shrink to a certain extent, and the blood at the wound should also coagulate, but the actual situation is not like this, even the teeth next to it are loose and irregular...

"In other words, Mr. Yan Fu lost his teeth after eating curry. To be precise, he bit the rope with all his strength and finally lost his teeth..."

"Rope?" Shancun Cao was stunned.

"That's right, Mr. Yan Fu was actually hung on the beam with his mouth biting the rope. When he ran out of strength and couldn't hold the rope, he was officially strangled and hanged to death. At that time, his teeth fell off and fell into the curry. Inside," Gao Cheng nodded, "what Xiaolan heard was not his cry, but a cry for help, but she couldn't cry out because she was biting the rope..."

Xiaolan's face turned pale: "How could this happen?"

"But," Shancun took out a notepad and said, "Mr. Yan Fu's mouth didn't leave any trace of the rope!"

"It's because of the handkerchief. The murderer wrapped the rope with a handkerchief before letting Mr. Yan Fu bite it..."

"Hmph," Uncle Mao Li frowned, "If that's the case, why didn't he grab the rope with both hands and call for help with his mouth free? Besides, the lights were turned off when Xiaolan went there for the second time. Never been to the bedroom..."

"Isn't Mr. Yan Fu's wrist thinly tied? What if it's not a rubber band, but a chandelier drawstring?"

Gao Cheng walked to the chandelier in the living room.

"Use the chandelier pull rope to tie Mr. Yan Fu's wrists, tie a slipknot, and then connect this pull rope to the chandelier in the bedroom on the second floor. In this way, when Mr. Yan Fu exhausted his body and fell, the pull rope will turn off the chandelier at the same time, and the slipknot will be torn off..."

The uncle’s mustache trembled: “Don’t think I don’t know, this kind of chandelier has three levels of brightness, and it takes three times to turn it off completely. For the first time, only the outer fluorescent lights are turned off. It's still on, just a little darker..."

The uncle pulled the pull rope that he hated, and demonstrated how to turn it off and on again.

"See? So..."
