"This plate armor is actually very inconvenient for men, right?" Qianyu said to Conan and Yusuo Kudo with this painting. "Look at this skirt armor, it is a vertically downward metal plate - if there is such a large piece of plate armor here..."

Considering the relationship between a male...a part, this part will generally choose something lighter chain mail instead of using vertical downward plate armor to create a dilemma of oppression in a very painful way in some cases.

[Author: There are indeed records of men wearing skirt armor in history, such as the 29kg cemetery armor worn by Henry VIII in 1520, but it was specially made for the king's infantry competition. Normal plate armor will leave protection choices below for the two major needs of horseback combat and crotch bags. It is impossible to use a large piece of plate armor as prominent in the middle like the original 73 painting. And even if there is such a weird armor, it is not something that can be bought in Japanese art galleries, and Europe is still the same.]

Conan's expression was a little strange after thinking for a while, and Yusaku Kudo seemed to be satisfied with Chia's judgment and nodded.

"As for why it is a strong woman with flat breasts, the reason is actually similar," Qianyu spreads her hands. "The plate armor does not leave a space for her breasts, and it is unlikely that women who are too weak will choose to wear such heavy plate armor."

(Plate armor is often made based on the wearer's physical data, so if a woman wears a male plate armor of a similar height... her chest will hurt so much, and she may not be able to wear it in.)

Yuzusaku Kudo's expression calmed down and continued to look at Chiao without any objection, waiting for him to continue speaking, but then he soon realized that Chiao's inference was over. "What do you want next?"

"The results of the pigment comparison, the pigment on the painting did not match the comparison results of the women, but it was the same style as the pigment used by Curator Luohe's drawings." After Kudo Yusaku said, looking at Chia and Conan's surprised gaze, he said with a smile. "This is what is called dark under the light. You didn't find any evidence pointing to him, so you ignored him."

"Hey?" Qianyu was surprised. "That old man? Why should he wear such a heavy plate armor?"

"I ignored him without finding evidence?" Conan was concerned about another thing. "So we were wrong because we didn't find the evidence pointing to him, or we were wrong..."

"Without the evidence pointing directly to him, there is still a way to think that he is a major suspect." Kudo Yusaku curled his lips slightly. "Come on, I will take you back to the crime scene and take you to see what you have ignored."

...

On the way over there, Yusaku Kudo said to Conan and Chia. "How much do you know about the plate armor that the medieval art gallery should have?"

"I don't know much." Conan shook his head.

"It should be those older plate armors, right?" Qian Yuze said. "I remember plate armors were things that were only available in the late Middle Ages. Before that, they were usually chain mail..."

"If we simply talk about the form of plate armor, which is different from chain mail, it can be traced back to the leg plate armor that was equipped for cavalry anti-infantry warfare in the mid-14th century, and the overall plate armor did not mature until the last fifty years of the Middle Ages. The most famous ones are two - Milanese plate armor and Gothic plate armor."

"So, is this heavy plate armor actually one of these two late plate armors?" Qian Yu asked.

"If you insist on choosing one of these two to match, it belongs to Milan Plate Armor." Kudo Yusaku seemed to have already remembered the painting in his heart.

...

(Conan's comics have a close-up of the front of this armor. The following will be accompanied by the previous text description when Kudo Yuki's explanation)

[There seems to be a thick shoulder armor on the shoulder on the arm. It is worth noting that the shoulder armor on the left arm seems to have a small protrusion than the right shoulder armor. This part of the shoulder armor on the right may be lost for some reason.]

"The biggest difference between Milanese plate armor and Gothic plate armor is that Milanese plate armor likes asymmetric design, because you should all understand that most people on the battlefield hold weapons with their right hand, and face the opponent's attack on the left. Therefore, the asymmetrical armor that strengthens the armor protection ability on the left and reduces the protection and strengthens flexibility on the right can better cater to the characteristics of right-handers."

[There is nothing special about the chest, but there seems to be something like a connecting strap on the chest - it seems a little strange in such heavy defense armor.]

"Secondly, the two are also different in the connection between the chest. The Gothic armor's breastplate and the pubic armor are connected by rivets, while the Milanese style uses a more flexible belt buckle."

"In addition, what you didn't mention is also one of the factors that judge - since you can draw the details of the gap between the left and right shoulder armor, you should be able to see another thing: have you seen patterns on his armor?"

"Wilds?" Qian Yu was stunned. "No."

"Another style of Gothic armor is Fluting, which means making a protruding arc surface that is more efficient when dealing with chopping. If you don't have this, you obviously need to take Milanese plate armor as a priority."

...

"Anyway," said Yusaku Kudo. "After judging that this is a Milan-style plate armor, if you master the knowledge of plate armor at that time, you should ask a question: How could an old man like Director Luohe wear such a heavy plate armor to commit the crime?"

"The answer is very simple. As long as the panel armor is actually a fake and shoddy modern product, it will be OK."

"Fake?" Qianyu and Conan were stunned.

"Yes, and Chia, you are already very close to discovering this just now." Yusaki Kudo said with a smile. "Did you complain just now that such skirt armor can only be worn by women? But if you think about it carefully, don't you think that the medieval plate armor cannot be worn by normal men? "

"!" Qian Yu realized what he had missed. "Yes, plate armor usually does not leave space below, use chain mail and other things..."

"There are all kinds of protection methods, but you will definitely not use such tormenting vertical skirt armor." Kudo Yuki spread his hands. "In addition, there is also the era of the hand armor protection mode on that set of armor, but you are required to maintain sufficient sensitivity in this regard, even for adults, so I can tell you two about this matter."
