Duck sitting is really scary for men! Duck sitting is really scary for men!

Because this is a difference in physiological structure, don’t try to die!!

Of course, this may not be a problem for some women’s clothing tycoons.

But don't forget, besides sitting like a duck, Mr. Kusaka also has his head resting on the wine cabinet at the bottom.

This posture is equivalent to the combination of "duck sitting + leaning back and lowering the waist", which can be said to be very weird, especially for a middle-aged uncle!

Death is really not that uncomfortable for most people, but the way this uncle died was really so uncomfortable.

Therefore, there must be something fishy about this posture!! But even if I think there is something fishy, ​​I can't find anything yet.

According to Officer Takagi's confession after questioning Mrs. Kusaka, the keys carried by Mr. Kusaka included the keys to the house door and the wine cellar. As for the only window, it was controlled by a remote control.

"Uncle Demi, did you find anything by the window?"

After hearing Takagi's report, Karasawa turned to look at Tome who was standing on a chair checking the marks and asked.

"No, everything is fine." Demi pointed at the top of the wine cabinet and said, "The dust on the top of the wine cabinet is still intact, so the possibility of intrusion through the window is very small."

As he said that, Demi closed the open window and gestured: "Look, this window can only be opened from inside the house. Even a professional thief who wants to open the window from the outside will not be able to do so easily, unless it is a violent destruction.

But look at the bottom left corner of the window, that thing is an alarm device. If it was damaged by external forces, the alarm would have sounded throughout the entire mansion."

In addition, according to the investigation of the Chiba police officer, the Kusaka family uses a special lock with a higher safety factor called an electronic lock because Mr. Kusaka attaches great importance to the collection of wine cellars.

This kind of key is difficult for locksmiths on the market to match and can only be configured from the scene of purchase.

"Then it means that it is impossible for the prisoner to enter and exit through the window." Based on the current investigation information, Mouri Kogoro touched his chin and muttered: "In other words, the prisoner is an acquaintance of Mr. Kusaka. I'm afraid the prisoner is Kusaka-san.

Come to the wine cellar together, sir.

After Mr. Kusaka opened the door of the wine cellar, he committed the murder in the wine cellar, and Mr. Kusaka probably also put up some resistance."

As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro pointed to the broken wine bottles beside the deceased, "Look at those bottles, I'm afraid they were knocked down by the deceased during a scuffle with the prisoner."

"If that's the case, it would be a bit incongruous."

Tang Ze frowned and said, "Point to the wine cabinet around the deceased. Did you notice that the wine bottles around the deceased fell from the same side?

The distance between the wine cabinets can only accommodate two people. If Mr. Kusaka and the prisoner were fighting in such a small space, the red wine bottles would probably be broken even more."

"Well...it does make sense." Officer Takagi on the side couldn't help but nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"It's just a coincidence."

Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, "It's also possible that the gangsters attacked the prisoner Kusaka, so Mr. Kusaka resisted a little before he died, which resulted in such consequences."

"Okay, the possibility of entering through the door and killing Mr. Kusaka can be basically ruled out."

After listening to Mouri Kogoro's reasoning, Karasawa immediately ruled out this possibility.

After all, in the world of science, everything follows rules.

One of them is the reasoning of Kogoro Mouri when he was awake, which can basically be used as a reverse elimination method to eliminate it from the hypothesis.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze raised his head slightly and cast his gaze on the open window next to him again.

This fan is a rectangle placed horizontally. Judging from its size, there is absolutely no problem in accommodating an adult.

But the key thing is that the dust on the bookcase does not appear to be damaged at all. Although there is no basis for it, Tang Ze makes an intuitive judgment based on Ke Xue's law and feels that the prisoner may be playing some trick here.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze couldn't help but scan the marks around the body again. When he saw the two white marks on the ground next to the wine cabinet that looked like they had been worn by heavy objects, his eyes couldn't help but condense.

Coincidentally, Conan on the side also looked around the scene and saw this trace, and couldn't help but look surprised.

"It seems you have discovered it too?" Tang Ze smiled and leaned over and whispered: "Then, the next step is to find that thing."

Conan nodded when he heard this and said, "Come with me. We visited the villa garden before. If I remember correctly, it should be that thing."

"Oh? Lead the way." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and followed Conan towards the outside of the villa.

Under the leadership of Conan, who had visited the villa and knew the surrounding situation, Tang Ze quickly found what he wanted to find.

"That's it. I'm afraid the prisoner used this thing to create a trick." Tang Ze smelled the slight aroma of wine on it and couldn't help but said with regret: "It's a pity for these good wines."

"It's really convenient to have a good nose." Conan couldn't help but smile after hearing the definite answer, "Then now, it's time to confirm the identity of the prisoner."

"Karasawa Criminal Police Officer Tome collected two sets of fingerprints at the door of the wine cellar. After comparison, it was found that they belong to Mr. Tomura Jokichi and Takano Sayuri!!"

Just as Tang Ze and the two were finishing their discussion and preparing to go back to the house to lock down the prisoner, police officer Chiba ran over and told Tang Ze the results of the fingerprint collection and comparison by Uncle Demi.

After learning about this situation, Karasawa immediately determined that the prisoner was the bald Mediterranean Mr. Nonaka.

A certain method was obtained, not to mention the objective fact that the criminal's method was to avoid suspicion, and there was no need to touch the handle of the wine cellar during the execution of the trick.

Just think about it using Ke Xue's method, and you will find that the fingerprints obtained from the evidence that generally lead to suspicion are basically false information that misleads the eye.

Therefore, under the double lock, Mr. Nonaka, who had no suspicion at all, was directly targeted as the murderer by Karasawa!!

"Qianba Criminal, please do me a favor."

"Well? What's the matter?" Chiba, who was walking in front, turned around and asked.

Tang Ze smiled and said: "Next, I want to ask you a favor..."

…………

"Stop joking, what's going on!!"

"You said there is a murderer among us!?"

"Detective Maori, don't talk nonsense, suspicion requires evidence!"

When Karasawa and Conan entered the room, they saw the three people regarded as suspects looking at Mouri Kogoro and questioning him repeatedly.

"Well, my reasoning is naturally supported by evidence. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is very likely that the person who committed this case was an insider."

Mouri Kogoro stretched out his fist and coughed, and said solemnly: "Especially Mr. Sotomura Jokichi and Ms. Takano Sayuri, both of you have been to the wine cellar bar, and the criminals from the forensics department detected you on the door.

Fingerprints!!”

The two of them were startled when they heard this, and then Jokichi Tomura looked unnatural and said: "Even so, it doesn't mean that I am a murderer!

I admit that I have been to the wine cellar, but I just wanted Mr. Kusaka to lend me some more money, but I just stood at the door and did not go inside!"

As he spoke, Sotomura Jokichi turned to look at Mouri Kogoro and the others and said, "You also know that Mr. Kusaka went down to the wine cellar to select red wine just to make me guess the wine, and he wanted to make things difficult for me.

He wouldn't let me go in and have the opportunity to enter the wine cellar and peek at what kind of red wine he selected."

Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly in agreement when he heard this, then looked at the other suspect on the side and said, "What do you say, Miss Takano?"

"I just went to beg Mr. Kusaka for a little more time to repay the money, so I went to the wine cellar, but I didn't enter it at all!" Ms. Takano said with the same certainty.

"What about you, Mr. Nonaka?" Mouri Kogoro pondered for a moment, then looked at the bald middle-aged man and asked, "Where were you during your break?"

"Detective Mori, have you forgotten that I went out to enjoy the breeze after Mr. Kusaka went to the wine cellar?" Mr. Nonaka said calmly: "I had been walking in the yard at that time and had never been to the wine cellar at all."

Mr. Nonaka's words also made Mouri Kogoro nod involuntarily, "Judging from the evidence of the current investigation, Mr. Nonaka did not show any signs of entering or leaving the wine cellar.

There are no fingerprints of Mr. Nonaka on the door of the wine cellar."

"So, the culprit is Mr. Nonaka, right! Uncle Mouri!"

Seeing that Mouri Kogoro's eyes were wandering between Sotomura Jokichi and Takano Sayuri, and he was about to blindfold one of the two, Conan immediately shouted to stop Moori Kogoro from expressing his reasoning, so as not to be slapped in the face later.

"Hmph! You kid, what are you yelling at?"

When Mouri Kogoro heard Conan yelling like this, he couldn't help but became furious, so he rushed forward and gave Conan an iron fist to suppress him.

But Conan was naturally prepared and immediately hid behind Tang Ze.

"Well, Detective Mori, don't be angry."

Although Karasawa also wanted to see Conan get hammered, it was too low-level to deliberately trick the opponent into getting beaten. The kind of trick that was done secretly was more enjoyable.

So when faced with Kogoro Mouri trying to suppress Conan with his iron fist, he stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Children know the answer and want to show it off. There is no need to be so arrogant."

"Nani!?" Mouri Kogoro was startled when he heard this, "You mean Nonaka..."

"We already know the whole case about Mr. Nonaka being the prisoner!"

Although he knew that the meaning of what Mouri Kogoro said was not at all what he said, this was exactly the meaning of Karasawa's interruption of Moori Kogoro's words several times.

In this way, on the surface, others would think that both Mouri Kogoro and Karasawa had seen through the entire case.

Only Mouri Kogoro is still confused.

What's going on? Why is Nonaka the prisoner? I seem to have accidentally let Karasawa Criminal Police think that I also saw through the whole case?

While Mouri Kogoro was confused, Nonaka smiled mockingly, stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "This criminal, please wait a moment. I was in the courtyard when the case happened.

Going for a walk!

How could I be a criminal if I didn't even take a step closer to the wine cellar!!"

"Then next, I will actually show your trick in front of everyone!"

Karasawa looked at it and smiled, then looked at everyone and began to reason, "Mr. Nonaka said that he went to the courtyard to enjoy the breeze after Mr. Hizumi left. This is true.

But he went directly to the outside of the wine cellar and knocked on the window above the wine cellar."

At the same time, the window above the wine cellar suddenly appeared, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When everyone raised their heads and looked at the windows, they found that at the transom that was close to the horizon, Qianba Criminal was smiling and waving to everyone.

"I asked Chiba Criminal to take the place of the murderer." Tang Ze explained and then looked at Takagi and said: "Takagi Criminal, the victim is begging to be entrusted to you."

"Oh...Okay, what should I do next?" Takagi nodded his head after hearing Karasawa's words and asked.

"Then please open the transom first."

While Officer Takagi went up to open the window, Karasawa continued to reason: "In this way, the window alarm will be released.

During the conversation, Mr. Nonaka invited Mr. Kusaka to the courtyard to talk. I think the excuse was that Mr. Tomura played some trick during the wine tasting, or how to make it impossible for Tomura to guess the red wine in the future.

Excuses like that.”

Having said this, while waiting for Police Officer Takagi to walk out of the courtyard, Karasawa looked at Nonaka, whose expression changed drastically: "The next step is the key trajectory after killing Mr. Kusaka.

He first used the key to lock the back door of the mansion to eliminate the traces of Mr. Kusaka in the courtyard, then put the key back on Mr. Kusaka, and then sent the body to the wine cellar."

"Wait! Then how do you think I threw such a heavy person into the middle of the wine cabinet through such a small window?"

There was cold sweat on Nonaka's forehead, but he still hurriedly retorted: "This is impossible no matter how much you think about it, I don't have that much strength!"

"Of course you can do it."

Facing Nonaka's struggle, Karasawa smashed it to pieces without caring, and kicked him into despair, "You only need to use a small clothes pole to do it, and you can do it, right?

First, use two clothes drying poles outside the window to look like a ladder, and then place the body on the clothes drying poles.

Then pass the clothes drying pole through the belts on the left and right sides of the deceased to fix the shape of the clothes drying pole to prevent the ladder from deforming due to the overweight of the corpse.

After that, just extend this simple slide from the window into the wine cellar, and then lift it directly, and Mr. Kusaka's body will follow this simple slide and directly enter the aisle between the two wine cabinets in the middle of the wine cellar."

As Karasawa's reasoning came to an end, Officer Takagi on the side was also sent into the air of the wine cellar by a pole under the control of Officer Chiba.

Then, with Nonaka's desperate look in his eyes, Officer Chiba lifted up the two clothes-drying poles that formed the ladder, and watched Officer Takagi slide directly towards the wine cellar following the inertia!
