Chapter 36 36. Unfinished message 2

After opening the door and inviting everyone in, Jiujiu Gongdao walked to Fengming Bangzhan's study in a familiar manner, ready to see if he was addicted to work again and couldn't extricate himself, "Brother Bangzhan! What are you doing!"

In the living room, Junhide Ishida, a man in a suit, also greeted Rina Yonoki and his group. He and Koichi Kujiu are partners in a law firm.

Only then did Rina Noki and the others realize that the unreliable man who seemed a bit frivolous was actually a lawyer, and his partner seemed to be more suitable for this profession.

Thinking about Conan, I couldn't help but look at the figure that jumped away from the voice, and then heard the voice suddenly change its tone.

"elder brother!"

The man who walked to the door of the study suddenly accelerated his pace and rushed into the room.

Thinking of the door of this house that could not be opened for a long time, Conan also rushed into that room.

I saw a bookcase that spanned almost the entire wall in the room falling down, and a man almost all over his body was pressed under the bookcase. The man's exposed head was covered in blood and rolled down among the debris on the floor of the study. There were some irregular stones. There were blood stains on it, and it looked like the person might have been hit by a rock when the bookcase fell down.

Conan stepped forward and touched the man's body. It was just as he thought. This man had been dead for who knows how long. When the guests he invited rang the doorbell over and over again, the owner of the house was lying in the study. The ground has long since lost its breath.

Jiujiu Gongdao was trying in vain to hold up the heavy physical bookcase. When he saw someone coming to check on him because of his abnormality, he struggled and said with a trembling voice, "Quick... call an ambulance."

Conan looked at the man's sorrowful expression and couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Jiujiu Justice, my condolences, I'm afraid it's too late for the ambulance."

"...Then go to the police, right! Go to the police quickly! Someone must have harmed him! I nailed the anti-falling device on this bookcase for him, how could it fall over just because he said it would!" He lost that weak support. With his own strength, Jiujiu Gongdao trembled and collapsed on the ground.

After Jiujiu's fair reminder, Conan also saw the metal connector nailed to the wall side of the bookcase. The device that was supposed to firmly connect the top of the bookcase to the wall had lost its function for some unknown reason. It fell to the ground due to the outward force.

With the consistent modern style inside and out of the house, the renovation didn't take too long, and it shouldn't be in disrepair. I don't know why they put rocks on the top of the bookcase that might cause the center of gravity to become unstable, but a sane adult would knock the bookcase over. It's unlikely, and the back of the man's head was facing upward at this time, which means he should have had his back to the bookcase when the incident occurred.

Therefore, it is indeed possible that this is a murder case as Jiujiu reasonably guessed.

While Conan was observing the scene, others followed him and came to the room one after another.

Seeing that the little detective was already in working mode, Yonoki Rina walked to Kujiu Koami and said, "I am a detective. Can you allow me to briefly explore this place? I have helped the police solve several murder cases. Will you pay attention to it?" Destroying the scene of the crime.”

"Okay! Detective! Okay! I'll leave this to you. We must find the murderer who killed Brother Kōzhan!" Kujito Koichi held Yonoki Rina's hand tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. It seemed like he was going to crush her hand.

As a lawyer who has been working with the police all the time, Jiujiu Gongdao does not have a high degree of trust in the police. The detective in front of him, who I heard has helped the police solve cases, sounds like a very reliable choice.

Kuhato Koami, who was very familiar with this house, quickly brought a camera and asked Yonoki Rina to quickly record the scene. After recording, he could take out the body from under the bookcase.

Yonoki Rina actually didn't want to disturb the scene before the police arrived, but Kujito insisted that the body must be taken out as soon as possible. He couldn't bear to see his friend's body being pressed under the bookcase. "If you want to solve the case, you can't do it." We also need to see if there are any other injuries on his body. Maybe the murderer killed someone first and then knocked down the bookcase to cover up the evidence."

Yonoki Rina had no choice but to take as many photos as possible, hoping not to affect the police's handling of the case. But it shouldn't have too much of an impact. Conan is still here, and the case might still be solved without the police.

Several bookcase anti-falling devices are used to fix the side of the wall. All are empty except for a hole for a screw. There are some minor scratches on it, but there are still screws in the fixing holes on the wall. But if there is any major damage to this hole, it would be impossible for the screw to come out from here.

At this moment, Conan seemed to see something and suddenly jumped up, "Aunt Juriina, there is a rope here."

Yonoki Rina followed the sound and saw the thin but tough rope hanging on the screw, "Is this a piano wire?"

That common prop in mystery stories, hidden but tough and powerful, the piano wire that can kill people invisible?

Conan nodded, "Yes, it's the piano wire."

The piano wire here is definitely not used for direct killing operations such as high-speed decapitation, but if it is hung on a screw and passed through the hole at the other end to fix the bookcase, it is possible to make a murder prop, making the bookcase follow the murderer's instructions. Fall at the predetermined moment.

If the injuries on the corpse are indeed consistent with the marks caused by the falling bookcase, then the possibility that the falling bookcase is a disguise can be almost ruled out, because the pretender may not need such a complicated operation, he only needs to directly knock down the bookcase, or even For this is fixed qi.

Yonoki Rina sped up the speed of taking photos, and it seemed that she really needed to move the bookcase to check the clues on the corpse. As she walked to the front of the body where Kujigata was sitting just now, Yonoki Rina discovered the important clue that she had just missed.

This was originally a piece of scratch paper full of messy records. As the desk fell, it fell directly in front of the deceased. The deceased did not seem to die on the spot. He drew a mark that looked like a wavy line on the scratch paper. Although It is difficult to tell what this means now, but based on the length and direction of this curved line, it should be some kind of death message specially drawn by the deceased.

Yonoki Rina took pictures of the fallen debris, and called out Xiaolan, who was also helping to take pictures, and Conan, who was still studying the device on the bookshelf, "Look, this seems to be a message left by the deceased. , look at what this looks like, I can’t see it at all.”

M? No, the beginning of the pen is too curved. The unfinished infinity symbol? That's also wrong, the tail should continue to slide down, not rise. Conan turned to look at the scenery outside the window facing the desk. It would be the lake or mountains outside the window. Or some similar landmark?

Maybe it's because White Day is approaching, and lately I can't help but think about whether Shinichi will give her a gift, and what kind of gift he will give her. Xiaolan expressed her first reaction, "I feel like I haven't finished the painting."

It’s a love heart, you see, just add another stroke diagonally to complete it and it will be a love heart.”

"...Although it is red, how could it be love? It would be too unlucky." When Xiaolan mentioned love, he thought of their relationship and couldn't help but reject this possibility.

Bloody, unfinished, love is really unlucky.

The description of the killing method may be rough, because I haven't really thought about how to kill people, and I can't be sure whether I can find the imaginary props.
