Chapter 22 - The Truth
"Second fall?" Conan asked curiously as he listened to Qianyu's narration.
"Posture," Qianyu glanced at the elevator that was under maintenance, turned to the stairs, and replied. "You still remember the posture of the person who was pushed down just now, right?"
"Posture?" Conan thought for a moment and immediately understood what Qianyu meant. "You mean..."
"When he fell, his face was up and his head was facing southwest. There were only two ways to fall. One was with his head facing southwest as he fell, and the other was facing up.
The reason is that during the fall, his feet or something got caught on the guardrail of the top floor, so he turned vertically and lay on the ground with his head facing the northeast."
"However, this corpse is," Conan opened the door leading to the roof and nodded. "The head is facing southwest and facing down."
"So it must not have fallen directly, but someone changed the position. Considering that the body attracted a large number of witnesses after it fell, it must have been caught in the process and then dropped again," Qianyu said.
Then, we came to the roof of the building with everyone.
"It's not like he was caught." Conan leaned on the railing on the roof and looked down. "Come and see."
"?" Qian Yu also lay on the railing and looked down. "I see..."
Two floors directly below, a balcony protrudes. If the person was pushed down, he would probably fall there.
"Since there is a balcony, is it impossible that after being pushed down, one side of the body happened to hit the balcony, causing the body to rotate horizontally?" Mitsuhiko asked. "In that case, the body may indeed be what we saw.
!”
"It's not fast enough," Qianyu retorted immediately. "The height difference between here and the balcony is at most 5 meters. If it's like what you said, the victim must be displaced horizontally at least... one to two meters. We should have just
You see, the victim is not the mayor of Prague and the six council members, he was pushed down, and he certainly cannot create this kind of violence."
"The mayor of Prague and six members of parliament?" Mitsuhiko was confused.
"The Window Throwing Incident," You explained. "In 1415, the religious reformer Jan Hus was executed, causing chaos in Prague, which eventually led to the mayor of Prague and six councilors being thrown out of the window."
"Anyway, let's go downstairs and have a look." Conan walked away from the railing and walked towards the stairs. "Let's go take a look at the scene below."
"Where are the three of them?" Conan said speechlessly when he saw that only Qianyu, Dr. Agasa and Yuu followed him.
"Who knows where he went," Qianyu shook his head. "But he probably went to look for clues on his own."
"This should be the room," Qianyu came to a room. "Ogata Financial?"
"Is this the victim's property?" Qianyu hesitated.
"It should be," Conan tried it and found that the door was unlocked, so he opened the door directly. There were signs of fighting in the room, and the tables and chairs were overturned and made a mess.
"There is a knife." After Qianyu walked in, the first thing he saw was a meat-cutting knife on the cabinet next to him. "This is very strange."
"Hmm..." Conan was also a little confused. "Since there was a knife, why did you push him out of the window? It would be difficult to kill him by pushing him out from this height."
"Moreover, since the homeowner fell down, how did the murderer get into this room? The door lock seems to be intact, but it is just not locked." Qianyu looked around for a week. "Could it be that the murderer robbed the victim?
Human key?”
"And why did the murderer drag the victim back into the house?" Conan looked at the situation nearby and thought.
"The victim was dragged back into the house?" Qian Yu was confused. "Then the one who fell down was the murderer?"
"How is that possible?" Conan was speechless. "It must have been thrown out again for some reason, right?"
"Wait a minute," Qianyu thought, her expression becoming very exciting. "What if it was actually Ogata who pushed the other party to his balcony?"
"And then he was pushed down by the opponent after resisting?" Conan thought, and then became speechless. "To be pushed down by a guy who just fell from a height of five meters, this is really a talent..."
"This driver's license here," Yu stood next to the overturned sand. "It doesn't look like it belongs to the homeowner."
"Honda Ryohei," Conan ran there and saw a driver's license. "It seems that the one who had a conflict with Ogata was Honda Ryohei."
"I'm afraid Ogata is not the one who was attacked," Qianyu said calmly, kneeling in front of a marble clock that had fallen to the ground. "Come and see here."
There are traces of blood on the edges and corners of the marble clock.
"On Ogata's body," Conan suddenly realized. "There are no wounds on his body!"
"Then it is obvious that this Honda is the one who was attacked."
"All of you, come out!" The loud shouting at the door made everyone turn their attention, and saw several policemen standing at the door, staring at them unkindly. "Who are you?"
"We are the ones who told the fire department that this was an attempted murder and not an accident." Qianyu replied. At this time, we must first clearly tell the police through this statement that we are our own people. Once the police establish
If you get confrontational, something will happen.
"You guys come out first," the policeman's expression softened slightly, but he still asked everyone to come out first. "You will destroy the scene."
"Mr. Police Officer," Qianha said after walking out. "I guess there was a fight between Ogata and a man named Honda here."
"That 'Honda' pushed Ogata Masaaki down?" the police officer frowned. "How do you know?"
"Police uncle, give me your driver's license!" Conan handed Honda Ryohei's driver's license to the police with an unused tissue.
"There is no blood on Ogata Masaaki's body, but there is a lot of blood on the corners of the wall clock that fell on the ground in the room. There is so much blood that the wound must not have healed." Qianfei thought while narrating to the police. "Considering the first sight,
People claimed that no one came out of the building, so Honda was still in the building and there were bleeding wounds on his body."
"Maybe he left through the back door or something?" the police asked.
"No...impossible!" the missing Mitsuhiko's voice came from the stairs nearby. Mitsuhiko Ayumi and Genta appeared out of breath from the stairs. "We just checked, there is a chain on the back door.
It's locked so no one can get out; the land next to the safety ladder is full of dirt, and if someone walks by it will leave footprints. So the prisoner must still be in the building!"
"Boy, based on your inference, can I understand that these two people are fighting with each other?" The policeman frowned.
"It's not a fight," Conan accepted Qianyu's reasoning with a clear expression. "It's Ogata's unilateral murder of Honda. Sir, please look at this receipt. This is what I found in the trash can.
of."
"Huh?" The police officer took the receipt. "This is the receipt from yesterday. Did you buy rain boots and a shovel?"
"The receipt found here is basically what Ogata purchased. So it is obvious that someone plans to kill people here and then bury the body in the deep mountains and old forests. Could it be Honda who did this in Ogata's home field?
?”
"Then why did Ogata fall?" the police officer frowned.
"I found a pair of glasses on the outer edge of the balcony," Conan pointed to the balcony. "Although I couldn't take them out, they were exactly the same as the glasses on Honda Ryohei's driver's license. I think Ogata was planning to take the glasses out.
When I took it back and eliminated the traces of Honda's presence here, I accidentally lost my center of gravity and fell."
"..." the policeman thought for a moment, then said. "Nobuda, take a few people to sweep the building and see if they can find Honda. Mitsutake, go to the hospital and check on Ogata first. Let them wait for the forensic department to come.
Check this place. As for you..." The policeman glanced at Qianyu and others. "You can leave first and leave the rest to our policemen."
