While talking, everyone had already arrived at the room opposite. There was no one here at this time. Of course, because there was no case, the scene was not closed or anything, and the JING police did not stay here to investigate.
As I heard before, this place is now the former ward that is being relocated. Currently, the rooms here are basically unused. It is quiet and feels like a hospital in a horror movie, unless there are a few people here.
, probably no one dares to come here.
The door to the room was not locked. I just opened the door and what I saw was a very clean room. It was so clean that there was really nothing in the room. All the things had been moved out. Of course it was not done by JING Cha.
, the things in this room have already been cleaned up.
Fortunately, the electricity was still on, and several people turned on the lights in the room, and then observed the situation in the room. Of course, the basic situation of the room could be seen at a glance, and indeed there was no unusual feeling at all. On the ground
There was no blood stain and the room was very clean without any traces.
"This is indeed the room I saw." Mouri Kogoro also walked to the window and pointed at Conan's ward. It was indeed right across the street, and he could see it clearly now.
"So Mr. Mori, how long did it take you from discovering the situation to calling the police and coming here?" Kudo Yusaku here asked.
"I guess it's only five minutes at most, probably less than that," Mouri Kogoro said.
"Five minutes." Kudo Yusaku nodded. As he spoke, he continued to observe the room, looking to see if there was any place where the body could be hidden. There were no cabinets or anything like ventilation ducts? I didn't look at it either.
Obviously, it is impossible to throw the body down. After all, the JING police must have looked for it. It took five minutes to move the body and clean up the scene. It is indeed a bit exaggerated. No wonder the police here also thought that Kogoro Mouri had made a mistake.
, he has this idea now.
"Oh, but I obviously saw it." Mouri Kogoro here also knew that he couldn't explain the current situation, and he himself was a little unsure.
"Hey, this is..." At this moment, Kudo Yusaku suddenly seemed to find something on the ground, and he leaned down to observe it carefully.
Linton was also curious and went up to take a look at the situation, and found that the carpet near the window seemed to be wrinkled.
"It seems to have been soaked in water, and it was just recently." Kudo Yusaku here looked at the condition of the carpet and said.
"Really? Is it caused by someone using water to clean up the blood stains here?" Mouri Kogoro here asked immediately.
"No...it's not such a new trace. It has dried now." Yusaku Kudo said, "And if you clean up the blood stain, it is obviously impossible to have only this trace. It looks more like it was wet by rain."
"Oh...really..." Mouri Kogoro was a little disappointed, obviously this discovery could not prove anything at all.
But for Kudo Yusaku, this was no small discovery. After discovering this trace, he immediately felt that this matter was indeed not simple: "Just now the nurse seemed to have said that it has been two or three months since the ward was cleaned.
Time has passed. If that is the case, this trace should obviously not appear. If you forget to close the window during cleaning, it obviously should not affect such a small area. Then if it is after cleaning, who will come back here to open the window?
Woolen cloth."
"Yes... yes, how did the rain come in?" Mouri Kogoro here also reacted immediately, "Yes... yes, when I came, I remember that the window here was not open.
It’s closed as it is now.”
"Anyway, someone deliberately opened the window... This room is obviously no longer in use... What is the purpose?" Kudo Yusaku said while opening the window himself. But it is midnight now, and it is really dark outside, except for
There are a few rooms on the opposite side that still have lights on, but basically nothing can be seen in the others.
Kudo Yusaku didn't find anything special here. Just as he was about to close the window, he suddenly seemed to find something else and suddenly looked at the window here carefully.
"Did you find anything? Mr. Kudo." Seeing that Kudo Yusaku seemed to have discovered something, Mouri Kogoro here immediately asked.
"I see... no wonder." Kudo Yusaku here seemed to have understood something, so he muttered to himself.
"This matter... I'm not sure yet, I have to do some verification." Kudo Yusaku did not directly explain the answer, but it was obvious from his face that he was very sure of his answer.
"Do all detectives like to play this trick? Aren't you afraid that the murderer will kill you before you can say anything?" Linton next to him said speechlessly.
"No, it's just for verification, and I don't know if someone has really committed a crime." Kudo Yusaku here said, "Let's go, we will understand the truth of the matter soon."
As he spoke, Kudo Yusaku had already walked out of the room. Mouri Kogoro was also stunned for a moment. He was really anxious now: "Mr. Kudo, where are you going? Have you finished reading?"
"Go to the room over there and look for clues." Kudo Yusaku pointed to the front of the corridor and said.
"The room over there?" Mouri Kogoro looked strange. The place Kudo Yusaku was talking about was no longer the room next to him. He was pointing to the end of the corridor.
In this row of corridors, there are former wards on the left and right, which are no longer in use. The position Kudo Yusaku pointed to is the turn at the end of the corridor. Because this ward is actually a "ji" shaped design, here and
The rooms where Conan is located are facing each other, but they are connected in the middle. It should be the connected place that Kudo Yusaku mentioned.
But the question is why should we search there? Mouri Kogoro is a little confused. This is the room he saw. What does it have to do with the room over there? Could it be that the body was hidden in the room over there? On the same floor.
The police had probably looked at the room before, and it was obvious that there was no body.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Mori, I would like to ask you, you said before that you were sleeping well in the room, and suddenly you woke up for no reason. What happened?" Kudo Yusaku asked as he walked.
"Huh? This... I just woke up suddenly for some reason." Mouri Kogoro was obviously confused.
"But why did you suddenly wake up after sleeping so well?" Kudo Yusaku asked, "Did you encounter some situation, such as hearing a sound or something..."
"Ah..." As if being reminded by Kudo Yusaku, Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered something, "Yes... yes, I did hear something vaguely, but as soon as I got up, I saw the situation on the other side.
, I forgot about it all of a sudden.”
"What's the sound?" Kudo Yusaku asked.
"What sound... By the way, it seems to be the sound coming from the corridor, the sound of music... It seems to be the sound of music..." Mouri Kogoro said.
"That's right." Kudo Yusaku said, "It should be some kind of music alarm clock set, or a mobile phone that has been placed in advance."
"This incident is very strange," Kudo Yusaku said. "If someone is really witnessing someone killing someone, how did he know that he was being witnessed? If the other person was really in that room.
If you kill someone, you should obviously clean up the scene carefully after killing someone. There is no need to rush to hide the body and tidy up the room in five minutes. It seems that he knew from the beginning that he would be discovered, and that someone would soon.
It’s like arriving at the scene. But at around 3 o’clock in the middle of the night, who would notice the situation in the old ward..."
"Yes, the other party moved too fast." Mouri Kogoro said.
"So all this looks more like it was prepared for others to see. And Mr. Mori, you are the chosen one," Kudo Yusaku said.
"I see, that's why the murderer prepared something similar to an alarm clock to wake up Mr. Mouri specifically." Miyano Shiho next to him nodded, "But is this safe? What if Mr. Mouri doesn't wake up?"
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. After all...there hasn't been a murder case yet, and there are no bodies yet." Kudo Yusaku said.
As Kudo Yusaku said, he also opened the door of a room, and everyone followed in and found that the room seemed to be a warehouse.
There are some sundries piled up in the room, most of which are medical equipment, such as racks, stretchers, and more obviously, a mannequin placed in the corner next to it.
This mannequin should be used for first aid training and the like, and is about the same size as a real person. Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku here also smiled slightly, and he probably saw what he was looking for.
"There are no corpses here." Mouri Kogoro here also looked in the room, but obviously there was no corpse he was looking for in the room, and the room was also quite clean, with no special traces.
"The corpse is in this room." Kudo Yusaku here said with a smile.
"What? Really? Where is it?" Mouri Kogoro asked immediately. He looked at the room again. Although there were a lot of clutter, there seemed to be no place to hide the body.
"That's it..." Yusaku Kudo pointed at the mannequin and said.
"Ah? This...can't be a corpse hidden in a mannequin." Mouri Kogoro here was suddenly a little frightened and took a few steps back.
"No, what I mean is, Mr. Mori, the 'person' that was killed before you saw was it, so there is really no problem in saying it is a 'corpse.'" Kudo Yusaku said.
