In the woods, Qin Zhibo used his white-gloved hands to hold the two arrows he had just harvested following the instructions at the investigation point.
In addition to the small murder scene, Qin Zhibo's favorite thing is this dimly lit environment, which allows him to better see the light of the investigation point.
With only 10 minutes left for the mission, Qin Zhibo did not dare to delay. After obtaining two arrows, he immediately ran towards the next investigation point.
...
In the woods, Tanaka Kikue was running towards the depths of the woods, following the direction in which she shot the last arrow in her memory.
While running, Tanaka Kikue was comforting herself in her heart.
It doesn't matter if the first two arrows are found. As long as the third arrow tied to the rope is not found, there is still room for maneuver.
The throwing distance of the hand crossbow is about 160m~180m...
The width of the snow in the backyard of the villa is 30 meters...
180-30=150...
The stride length of an adult woman when running is about 0.7m...
100÷0.7=214.2...
As long as you move 214 steps in this direction, you will almost be able to find the arrow...
With the help of the data measured during the field survey a week ago, Tanaka Kikue calmly calculated the direction and distance while running. Now she just had to find the arrow flying into the distance.
Even if the arrow falls on the tree, Tanaka Kikue is not worried.
Because the rope behind the arrow will definitely be too long to land on the top of the tree, there will be a section of rope hanging down from the tree.
At that time, you only need to raise your hand to get the arrow!
You can hide it even if you can’t get it!
...
Counting 214 steps silently in his mind, Tanaka Kikue finally arrived at his destination.
That arrow must have landed near here!
Tanaka Kikue looked around and suddenly saw a hanging arrow under the top of a larch tree.
What a blessing!
Tanaka Kikue was so happy that she hurried to the tree and raised her hand to catch the arrow.
However, at this moment, the arrow suddenly started to tremble on its own.
Wow——
Following this, the entire larch treetop began to tremble violently, being shaken off, and large chunks of snow fell directly on Tanaka Kikue's head.
"ah!"
This sudden situation frightened Tanaka Kikue so much that she fell to the ground, thinking that she had encountered the legendary "Treant"?
But things were worse than Tanaka Kikue expected.
It's not that the trees are moving by themselves at all, but that on the other side of the larch, a man is holding on to the end of the rope tied to the arrow and shaking it hard.
Seeing Kikue Tanaka lying on the ground, Qin Zhibo came over, stretched out his hand in good faith, and pulled Kikue Tanaka up from the snow.
"Miss Tanaka, why are you here?"
"I..." Tanaka Kikue was too surprised that Qin Zhibo appeared here, and her tone was hesitant.
Due to time constraints, Qin Zhibo ignored Tanaka Kikue and turned to look at the arrow hanging on the treetop.
"It turns out that the rope is tied to this arrow..."
Qin Zhibo pulled the arrow vigorously again, but the rope was hung on the hook on the pine branch and could not move at all. He could only shake off large chunks of snow as before.
In this case, Qin Zhibo didn't waste any time. Anyway, he would collect evidence by himself when the police came.
Time is urgent, now I have to go back quickly and start reasoning.
Qin Zhibo took the "lost" Tanaka Kikue back to the snow, and everyone in the villa just came back.
After all three investigation points were found, Qin Zhibo directly started to recreate the scene.
On the balcony where Conan was, a "little black" suddenly appeared. After a few operations, he suddenly raised something and shot it towards the snow.
one time...
Two clicks...
Three times...
When "Xiao Hei" finished all his movements, Qin Zhibo roughly understood the technique.
As for the evidence...
Qin Zhibo looked around and his eyes fell on the Doi Tucker tree.
Obviously, the job of finding evidence is most suitable for a thief like Kaitou Kidd.
...
On the balcony, Conan suddenly shivered.
Although Conan is currently suffering from a cold and shivering is normal, this chill made Conan feel terrified inside.
It was as if something evil had overlapped with my body...
Conan, wrapped in a quilt, moved aside like a penguin, and everything got better.
really weird...
While Conan continued to look down at the corpse on the snow, thinking about how to solve the impossible crime, Qin Zhibo downstairs had already started reasoning on the snow.
"Miss Tanaka, you should be the murderer, right?"
Qin Zhibo's sudden words made Tanaka Kikue's heart tremble.
Before Tanaka Kikue could defend himself, Qin Zhibo took out the two arrows in his hand and reasoned calmly: "These two arrows were found on the tree trunks at the edge of the forest, and there is one hanging on the tree that cannot be taken off.
of arrows.”
"As long as we use these arrows, we can design a zipline above the snow and slide Mr. Hamano's body to the snow."
Qin Zhibo's reasoning was very vague, and there were no diagrams or the like, leaving people around him confused.
Therefore, people who usually have a good relationship with Tanaka Kikue raised other objections.
Naoko Kuroda: "Miss Tanaka had never left the villa before she found the body. How could she be the murderer?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "Yes, yes, the murderer is obviously the guy named 'Shadow Master' in the chat room, and Ms. Tanaka's online name is 'Yikasama Doji'."
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and responded: "Actually, the person 'Shadow Master' did not exist from the beginning. It was completely made up by Miss Tanaka herself."
"As for Yikasama Doji, it is actually the stage name of the magician Harui Fuden when he first debuted."
"That is to say, the person who actually communicated with you in the chat room was Harui Fuden himself, and Miss Tanaka is actually Harui Fuden's granddaughter."
Qin Zhibo revealed the relationship between the characters that he had learned in advance, which instantly shocked everyone.
Members of the Magic Lovers Alliance naturally knew that after Harui Fuden died, two people in the chat room made rude remarks about the magician's death.
These two people were the dead Nishiyamamu and Hamano Toshiya.
"Could it be..." Arayoshi, one of the organizers of the banquet, looked at Tanaka Kikue with the eyes of a murderer.
Tanaka Kikue's eyes were complicated, and she was driven by the desire to survive and wanted to make a final struggle.
"Where's the evidence?"
"You said these arrows are mine, there should be proof, right?"
As soon as Tanaka Kikue finished speaking, a naive voice came from the balcony on the second floor of the villa.
"I found it!"
"It's a crossbow! It's in Miss Tanaka's bag!"
Tanaka Kikue suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw the chubby Doi Takesuki appearing on the balcony of his room at some point, raising the crossbow in his hand for everyone to see.
With the irrefutable evidence, Tanaka Kikue could no longer defend herself, and a bleak smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Yes, Harujing Fengden is my grandfather, and he is also the 'Yikasama boy' who communicated with you in the chat room before."
"Because of your chat in the chat room, grandpa proposed to perform escape magic again. He obviously has no physical strength as before..."
"But that's..." Naoko Kuroda said with a shocked look on her face.
"Yes, it was entirely grandpa who killed himself on a whim. I will not be angry with you because of this incident."
"But I can't forgive the cynicism Mr. Nishiyama and Mr. Hamano made about my grandfather in the chat room after he died unexpectedly."
The Escape King (Nishiyama Wu): Being able to die on stage is probably what he wants most (laughs).
Disappearing Pani (Hamano Toshiya): Is this the only hope for the so-called old magician? (^^;)
After being discovered, Kikue Tanaka looked relaxed and expressed all the grievances in her heart during this period.
Everyone looked at Tanaka Kikue in the cold wind with complicated expressions on her face, and were speechless for a long time.
Only Qin Zhibo walked firmly in front of Tanaka Kikue and said seriously: "If I say that the death of Harui Fuden was not an accident, but a long-planned assassination..."
"What would you think?"
