Chapter 16 - Conan's reasoning show, the sword that hits the throat
The next day, when the kidnappers informed Ayumi's parents, who had calmed down, about the ransom of 12.1 million yen, Qianyu had already asked for three days' leave from the school and was on the spot - looking for suitable ambush points for police snipers.
The note that Qianha handed to the administrator contained all of Qianha's inferences and suggestions, including the inference of the hostage rescue location. These judgments and suggestions were recognized by the Megure Police Department, and after considering the police's own investigation
After there was a certain risk of being exposed (what if the kidnappers came to attack the area, how to break it), Mumu decided to send Qianyu to find a suitable attack point in this area.
The requirements given to Qianyu by the Mumu Police Department to find the attack point are very simple, as long as any one of the following conditions is met.
1. You can see the crosswalk on one side of the entire road where the body dumping theory is located.
2. You can see the crosswalks on either side of the two roads connected by the entire road where the corpse dumping theory is located.
But Qianyu knows very well that there are many places that cannot be used as good sniping spots.
First of all, a place that is too high will definitely not work. In this kind of place, snipers will fire from above. A slight mistake will hurt Ayumi, who is probably being carried on the shoulders of the kidnappers.
Secondly, it is best to have a small store with relatively few people, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble due to too many people.
In addition, there are some taboos in selecting sniper points that cannot be listed one by one, so there are not many ideal points that Qianyu can choose.
After four hours of survey, Qianyu returned to the Metropolitan Police Department with 4 excellent points and 13 usable sniper points.
"Conan?" Qianyu actually met Conan next to the desk at the Memu Police Department. "Why are you here?"
"You have dug up the files very carefully," Conan raised the notebook in his hand. "But it is not detailed enough."
"Oh?" Qianyu handed the notebook to the Memu Police Department and asked Conan curiously. "Tell me about it."
"You previously deduced that the kidnapper carried the girl on foot to the place where the body was dumped, right?"
"Yes, because it is difficult for vehicles such as bicycles to carry a 20 kilogram unconscious girl."
"It's not just that," Conan added. "You may not have noticed the photo taken by the first person (who was a reporter). There was a muddy puddle not far from where the body was dumped, and there was a faint glow there.
Wet footprints. The direction of this footprint is opposite to the direction of the reporter's home, so it is not the reporter's own footprints. The footprints will be completely dry in more than ten minutes in the current weather, so this should appear around the time of the murder of the girl.
If these were the footprints of someone else, they would definitely have seen the kidnapper and noticed something strange about him. How could it not have appeared when the police were openly searching for witnesses? So these can only be the footprints of the kidnapper himself."
"Okay...but I think this is at most a 90% chance of being correct." Qianyu shrugged and said.
"90% is enough," Conan spread his hands. "We are not arresting criminals and looking for evidence now. Our purpose is to save people. If we can find the answer within two days, it doesn't matter how many times we make mistakes."
"That's right, keep talking."
"In the morning, I conducted an autopsy on the third corpse found yesterday and examined the parts that the forensic doctor had neglected." Qianyu opened his notebook and showed the conclusion directly to Qianyu. "Although the first two corpses have been
It cannot be inspected after it is retrieved, but this body already provides a lot of information."
"Silica powder?" Qianyu said in surprise after reading. "In the head of the third corpse?"
"Yes," Conan closed his notebook. "The kidnapper's kidnapping location is not too far away from several corpse dumping sites, right? The vicinity of the corpse dumping site is a residential area, and there aren't many places with silica powder, right?"
"Semiconductor industry or alloy industry and related warehouses," Qianyu said with a clear tone. "There is only one rice flower!"
"Yes, there is a semiconductor warehouse just southwest of where Ayumi was kidnapped. Ayumi is probably there." After Conan finished speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Qianyu. "What do you think?"
"Then what should we do next? Let's find out first?"
"Why not?" Conan's mouth curved.
...
"However, your reasoning is really powerful," Qianyu said as they walked on the road. "Your observations are also very keen."
"Ah? Oh, actually these are all things Shinichi brother taught me~" Conan was surprised, then scratched his head and said tenderly...
"..." Qianyu's brows twitched. "This guy...why did his style suddenly change into such a ghostly behavior?"
Intuition told Qianyu that there was something fishy in Conan's explanation. As for what the fishiness was, Qianyu didn't know.
"Here we are," Conan's words pulled Qianyu out of his thoughts, and saw an old warehouse appearing in front of the two of them.
"The door is closed, let's see if there is a window." Qianyu held the traceless umbrella in his hand and said.
"Yeah." Conan turned on the ejector of the anesthesia watch and responded. "Follow me."
"I'll take the lead," Qianyu waved the traceless umbrella. "I'm in close combat."
Qianyu and Conan walked around to the back of the warehouse together. As expected, there was a small open window, which could allow children like Qianyu and Conan to come in and out. However, the small window was a little more than two meters above the ground, making it difficult to climb up.
"Conan," Qianyu squatted under the window. "Stand up and go in and take a look."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Conan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, ran over, and stepped on Qian Yu's shoulders.
"Hold it steady." After Qianyu said that, he stood up slowly. When Qianyu stood up, Conan could reach the lower edge of the window with his hands, and Conan climbed to the window with a strong effort of both hands.
"It's a toilet, there's no one in it." Conan said after taking a glance.
"Don't go in, you can't get out." Qianyu frowned and suggested.
"You can come out," Conan sat on the window and stretched out his hand to Qianyu. "Pass the tip of your umbrella to me."
"Ah?" Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, then did as he was told.
"Jump!" Conan shouted. Qianyu jumped up immediately after hearing the words, and Conan took advantage of the situation and pulled the umbrella that was already the height of the window into the window to make a lever. One end was Conan who jumped from the window, and the other end was outside the window.
of Qianyu.
"Thank you..." Qianyu grabbed the handle of the umbrella with one hand and twitched the corner of his mouth. "Thank you for coming up with this method."
"Hold firmly with both hands!" Conan said, adjusting the position of the umbrella closer to the tip. The originally balanced lever tilted towards Conan, and Qianyu also took advantage of the situation to grab the window and roll in.
Just as Qianyu was about to say something, she saw Conan looking attentively listening to something. But after Qianyu listened, she smiled slightly and looked at Conan who was also smiling.
In this closed warehouse, there is actually sound from the TV!
