Hearing Tang Ze's words, Takagi couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.
But when he saw the three strange symbols "○ × △" written in blood by the deceased, his face couldn't help but change again, "What on earth is this death message!"
"Could that "×" refer to multiplication? And "○×△" refers to some kind of mathematical formula." Sonoko on the side heard the words and speculated.
"But why is it "○×△"?" Xiaolan said suspiciously: "Aren't numbers easier to understand?"
"This is also very simple." Yuanzi waved his hand and said: "Of course this is done to prevent the prisoner from discovering the destruction information, so it is replaced with this strange symbol."
"OH!!" Teacher Judy on the side heard Yuanzi's words and said excitedly with a weird accent: "So, is the prisoner a person who is proficient in mathematics?"
Hearing this, Takagi looked at the future life with suspicion and said: "Then, is there any employee in your company who is particularly proficient in mathematics?"
"No...because of the field of work, our company recruits mainly liberal arts talents..."
"kindness…"
"Is it possible that this "○×△" refers to oden?" Sonoko touched her chin, and somehow her brain thought of oden.
"Hey... Sonoko, Teacher Judy, do you think this "×" refers to that thing..."
"Ah?" After hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi and the two couldn't help but look puzzled, "What did you say?"
"That's it, that cute mark that Teacher Judy mentioned in English class before..."
"Hahahahaha~~"
Hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi and Teacher Judy looked at each other and laughed.
"No, no, no!!"
"It can't be that, it absolutely can't be!!"
The two laughed and waved their hands to reject Xiaolan's guess.
"Ah, are you talking about something that girls often write at the end when they write letters..." Takagi who was standing by heard the conversation between several people and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"OH! Yes~"
"Takagi Criminal, do you know the meaning of "×"?" Xiaolan on the side looked at Takagi in surprise after hearing this.
"Hehehe, since you understand this, it means you often receive letters like that?"
Sonoko on the side heard Takagi's words and couldn't help but tease him with a narrow look on his face, "You can't tell..."
"No, no!" Takagi quickly waved his hand after hearing this, "I just helped Tangze with the criminal investigation and handled a lot of letters, so I naturally knew..."
"Huh? Brother-in-law? That's normal..." Yuanzi glanced at Xiaolan, then nodded as if it was natural, "After all, he is brother-in-law... It's normal..."
"So, Tangze Criminal also knows the meaning of this "×"?" Xiaolan couldn't help but look at the words and turned to Tangze who was thinking deeply about the "death message" left by the deceased.
"Well, I still know this, but for some people, it may be a puzzle that is not easy to solve..."
Karasawa lowered his head and looked at Conan, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up next to him. He smiled teasingly, then looked at Takagi and said seriously: "Let's stop joking here first. I discovered something..."
"Discover!?"
After hearing Tang Ze's words, several people stopped talking about the previous topic and ran over quickly, "What is it?"
"Maybe this death message doesn't just have "○×△"."
"Well? What do you mean?" Yuanzi asked strangely: "Does it mean that this code is incomplete?"
"Yes, you see? Is there a blood stain on the left side of "○"?" Conan reminded everyone, pointing to the edge of the file bag.
"Ah, it's true..."
"Oh! If you look carefully, there is indeed a little vertical blood stain on it..."
"But brother-in-law, there doesn't seem to be any blood stains around, right?" Yuan Zhi looked at the forensics personnel who were trying to search around and said, "I haven't seen anyone coming to report, ah..."
"Based on the places inspected now, there are indeed no similar blood stains, but there has not been an inspection there yet."
Hearing this, Tangze pointed to the escalator and said: "Don't forget, although the escalator has been stopped now, the elevator was still running normally when the body was discovered.
So if there is a missing part of the "death message" on the file bag, it must be on the pedal of this elevator!"
"That's it!" Takagi immediately woke up when he saw where Tang Ze was pointing, "I'll have someone check it right away!"
"But brother-in-law, the escalator was always running before you came, right? Could it be that the words written in blood by the deceased have long since disappeared?" Sonoko asked from the side.
"Don't worry about this. As long as you spray some luminol reagent on the elevator pedal, you can find it even if the blood has disappeared."
After explaining, Tang Ze continued to add: "And the situation at that time was that the deceased had been stabbed and was bleeding. In that case, the elevator pedal must be covered with blood, so we only need to find it later. The blue fluorescence is the most
That elevator pedal is enough."
After explaining all this, Takagi hurriedly went to check the elevator pedals with the staff of the forensics department. At this time, Conan next to Karasawa pulled the corner of Karasawa's clothes and motioned for him to lean over and have something to say.
.
"What's wrong??" Tang Ze leaned over and asked, "Did you notice anything else before?"
After all, Conan was present when the case occurred, and he might be able to discover something with his insight.
But speaking out these discoveries as a child is a bit too surprising. In order to avoid suspicion, Conan usually told Tang Ze quietly. I originally thought that this would be the case this time, but I didn't expect...
"I want to ask you a question..." Conan covered his mouth and asked softly: "What does the "×" that Sonoko and the others said before mean?"
"..."
Hearing Conan's question, Karasawa looked at Conan with a playful expression, rubbed his dog's head and said, "If a child doesn't know about this kind of thing, then he doesn't know~"
Are you kidding me? Karasawa is still waiting to eat melon later. How could Conan know about this first?
Brother Tang is looking forward to what Conan's expression will be like when the time comes~
"If you know, just tell me!" Conan slapped his hand off his head angrily, "I'm not really a primary school student!!"
Facing Karasawa's prevarication, Conan wanted to continue questioning, but Chiba hurried over with a pile of clothes on the side, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Seeing this, Conan could only glare at Karasawa, and then began to listen intently to what Chiba and others found after searching.
