Chapter six hundred and ninety-nine - children's reasoning

"Although she pleaded guilty, the whole process was still quite strange," Kudo Yusaku said as she looked at the Shiragodo police officer sitting opposite him. "Because the problem is that although we found a repair backup pipeline that leads from the basement of the mental hospital to the basement of the library, is it a bit too much for a woman to complete the murder?"

If Qian Yu described the crime scene as not wrong, the deceased were alive before being burned by fire. Considering that the members of the Junior Detective Group heard the sound of foot armor collisions of the plate armored equipment, the other party may have worn heavy plate armor throughout the crime. Unlike ordinary light armor, plate armor is connected by a large number of complex connection mechanisms. It is difficult for one person to complete the wear procedure. Ancient knights generally needed the help of one or more facilitators to do it. Therefore, the entire case includes at least the murderer wearing plate armor and the facilitator wearing plate armor for him.

There are two parts that require strength during the entire crime process. One is wearing plate armor for a long time, and the other is pressing the body against the wall and lifting it up. The former requires sufficient endurance and certain strength, while the latter requires sufficient momentary strength. For people with strength to wear plate armor that is not necessary for murder for a long time, lifting the body in a short time is not difficult. At most, the helper needs to insert the sword into the throat and nail it to the wall. (Holding a person mainly requires arm strength, while only a small part of the weight of the plate armor will be borne by the arms, so the impact is not great.)

But if this is the case, Neviah's company will have problems, because the crime Neviah confessed was to kill the demon, that is, the identity of the murderer, so her power should be better than the helper, otherwise the person wearing heavy plate armor should be the helper rather than Neviah.

So, if Neviah's confession is true, then she must have the power to lift the body up.

But for such a not strong woman, is it too difficult to lift an adult man? Although it is impossible to determine the specific weight, if you estimate it based on the height of your life judged by the bones, as long as the other party is not really too thin, the weight will inevitably exceed 60 kg or even 70 kg...

Wait, is there something wrong with what I just thought of...

Yusaku Kudo's eyes were slightly confused, but then they suddenly became clear.

...

After school, on a bus.

"Just forget it, why did you pull me up together again..." Qian Yu pouted with dissatisfaction and complained to Conan like this.

"Dad asked you to come, and I can't help it - he has solved the technical content of the entire case, let's come and practice together, and see if there is room for checking and filling in the gaps." Conan sighed. "But I think he might have encountered problems. This time he specifically explained the scope of [technical issues]. Maybe he just found the murderer, but lacked evidence and other things."

"Then what can we do," Qianyu curled his lips. "Before, on the Pearl Tree Flying Boat, his overwhelming advantage over the monster thief Kidd was exaggerated to that extent. If it was a question he could not even consider, we..."

"It may be that we are planning to exercise for a while-" said Conan, who also showed a thoughtful expression. "I'm obviously...wait, you can't be the illegitimate child my dad gave birth to some woman when he was young, right?"

"Hey hey!?" Qianyu complained dissatisfied.

Forty minutes later, the Medieval Art Gallery.

"Are you here?" Kudo Yusaku looked at the two children in front of him and said with a smile. "Okay, I will follow you and tell you the results when you want to know the results of a certain test. Just take a good look at the scene traces, which should be enough for you to complete the reasoning and find the murderer."

"Go to the scene now?" Conan was stunned. "Will it affect the subsequent evidence collection?"

"The case has been solved," Kudo Yusaku stared into Conan's eyes. "Just ten minutes ago, we used the test results to make the prisoner plead guilty."

The results that came out ten minutes ago are definitely not the results of traces and evidence collection of conventional objects, but the detection results of samples from some marginal areas.

"Oh by the way," Kudo Yusaku said suddenly with a little apology to Chia. "I hope you can understand. If you and Conan are in different places, I will definitely follow him first, but if you want to ask any questions, you can send me a text message - you have a cell phone, right?"

...

"This woman's testimony is not reliable at all, right?" Conan looked at the transcript and curled his lips. "A mentally ill patient, maybe someone hypnotized her a little, so she took those things seriously. And for this composition, it is not appropriate to use Longineus to kill Jesus, right? I personally definitely like it more... I remember that there seems to be a famous painting that pierces the throat with a sword, named..."

"You mean the picture in "Heavenly Punishment", right?" Kudo Yusaki replied immediately. "You are right. If Chiyu's memory is not wrong, it is indeed very similar to this painting."

"Yes, it's definitely more appropriate to use this picture." Conan nodded. "Using this picture of Longineus, there is a feeling of inconspicuous words, which seems very stiff."

Yuzusaku Kudo just shrugged, but said nothing.

"Dad, at least give me a reminder?" Conan looked at Kudo Yusaku without any expression and said dissatisfied. "Could the next process be to find such a possible evidence of a far-fetched murder... Wait a minute, what are the results of the identification of that painting?"

If the purpose is not to confirm such a possibility, we must first dispel her as the murderer. And the reason why we focus all our attention on Neviah is based on that painting.

But if the painting was not actually drawn by the mentally ill lady himself, but others bewitched the mentally ill lady through methods similar to hypnosis, then the evidence will be immediately overturned.

"It's great," Kudo nodded with a smile. "In the results of the identification, the pigment used is not the same style as the pigment used normally by Miss Neviah, so it can be considered that this was not drawn by Miss Neviah himself. So if that's the case, who is the murderer?"

"Check all your pigments, especially starting with normal people?" Conan put forward his own idea. "After all, it would be too much if a mentally ill person framed other mentally ill people..."

"I think this kind of person is more suspicious of a very strong flat-breasted woman." At this moment, Qian Yu's voice sounded.
