"And we also have to consider the possibility that when the prisoner was squatting on the edge of the flower bed to pull out the plants, he might not have deliberately leaned out." Conan also held his chin with his right hand and thought, "In that case, the prisoner's arm length would be longer than 65
If you grow a few centimeters, your height may be a little higher, reaching 175 centimeters."
"So, arm length can only be used as a condition to assist judgment," Chi Feichi looked at the three children recorded and said seriously, "Through this condition, we can first exclude children, short people with a height of less than 160cm, and short people who are not tall.
At the same time, people with short arm spans.”
"Tall people over 175 centimeters can also be placed in the second suspicion echelon. Although it is not impossible for tall people to commit suicide, we should give priority to those who are of medium height and common height." Conan looked at the three children,
He reminded with a smile, "The two points that Brother Chi added are to determine the direction of the initial investigation. At the beginning of the investigation, spending a little time to determine the direction of the investigation can keep us clear in thinking and clear in the investigation process, and can also save money.
A lot of time, this is also a very important step in the investigation of the incident!"
Mitsuhiko thought with confusion in his eyes.
He could understand what Conan meant, and he could understand it, but... this was not a question of whether they paid attention to the direction of the investigation. What was important was how to quickly find the direction of the investigation when encountering an incident. This was what he felt he needed to figure out.
question.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the reactions of the three children, who seemed to understand but seemed even more confused. He sighed inwardly, but he couldn't help but smile.
Brother Fei Chi told the children in detail what the detailed clues are, what they represent, and what kind of investigation direction should be formulated. This should be to teach the children how to determine the direction of investigation.
Her brother is really willing to take children's abilities and ideas seriously, and he takes children's abilities and ideas more seriously than many adults.
Even Edogawa is like this now. Don't these two people feel that it is too early for children to master this?
Chi Feichi didn't expect the children to master these all at once, but just treated them as daily 'edification'. Seeing the confusion on the three children's faces, he said, "You will gain experience when you go through more incident investigations."
"Sherlock Holmes also said," Conan echoed with a smile, "If you know the details of a thousand eucalyptus well, but can't explain the thousand and one eucalyptus, that's a bad thing!"
"That's amazing... this is the famous detective!" Okamura Saki exclaimed with a look of amazement. When Chi Feichi and the five children's attention turned to him, he smiled sheepishly,
He quickly smiled openly and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your discussion. I just feel that Mr. Chi and everyone else are like famous detectives. Listening to your discussion, I feel like I am listening to
A very professional relationship discussion meeting, really great!”
Listening to Okamura Saki's praise, the three children could no longer keep their serious faces and looked at each other with a smile.
"Of course, we are professionals..."
"Because we are..."
"——Young Detective Team!"
Conan, Haihara Ai: "..."
When will the childish scene of signing up together loudly be unnecessary?
"I've heard other kids talk about your boy detective team before," Saki Okamura laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, "I just realized today that you guys are so awesome!"
Chi Feichi saw that the corners of the three children's mouths were almost raised to the sky, and reminded him, "No matter how good you are, you still have to go to school. Shouldn't it be time for you to go to school?"
The smile on Mitsuhiko's face froze instantly. He raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's only 7:40 now."
"There is still a little time, let's investigate again!" Yuantai suggested expectantly.
Conan also had something he wanted to find out, so he echoed, "Brother Chi, isn't he going to see the flower shovel here? We can go and see it together, and then go to school, that way we won't be late."
Chi Feichi had no objection, "Then please ask Miss Okamura to take us to have a look."
"You're welcome, just call me 'Kosaki'," Okamura Saki stood up with a smile and led the way out of the lounge, "Everyone, follow me, and I will take you to the place where the tools are kept."
The place where the flower shovel is stored is a tool storage room, which also stores tools such as flower watering kettles, wooden stands, and rope loops.
A group of people came to the storage room and gathered around a pile of large and small flower shovels.
Conan found the smallest flower shovel, picked it up and showed it to others, "Is the surface of this flower shovel worn too badly? These smallest flower shovels seem to have been purchased in the same batch.
But the surface of this flower shovel has been scratched, and the edges are also somewhat bumpy. The other flower shovels obviously still look new..."
Mitsuhiko looked the shovel up and down and said seriously, "It's very suspicious."
"And here..." Haiyuan pointed to the joint between the shovel surface and the handle, "There is dirt in the gap, and there seems to be a little brown powder mixed in."
Ayumi stood aside and watched, "Could it be the dust scratched off the bricks?"
Conan handed the shovel to Mitsuhiko, took out his handkerchief, wiped the stains in the gaps of the shovel with the handkerchief, spread out the handkerchief, and carefully looked at the stains on it, "There are indeed some reddish-brown fines...
"
"Our bricks are fired in the studio over there. There should be unused raw materials in the studio," Mitsuhiko actively suggested, "Let's get some materials for firing rotors, and then let Brother Chi
Send it to the doctor for testing, so that you can know whether the reddish-brown fine powder remaining on the flower shovel is the powder scraped from the bricks."
Chi Feichi had to pour cold water on Guangyan, "This is a flower shovel placed in the center of the district. It has been used by many children. Even if the reddish-brown powder in the gap was scratched from those bricks, it may have been used by a certain child.
When I was shoveling, I accidentally scraped a brick."
Conan looked at the other flower shovels, "There are more or less dust residues in the gaps of other flower shovels here. This means that if the flower shovels are not cleaned thoroughly after use, dust will still remain in the gaps. Therefore, even if the powder inside is confirmed,
It's brick powder, but it doesn't prove that the powder is a trace left by the prisoner using a flower shovel last night."
Okamura Saki saw the three children looking at him and smiled a little sheepishly, "The gaps of this kind of flower shovel are difficult to clean, and leaving a little dust in the gaps of the flower shovel does not delay its use. The longer it is soaked in water, the more
It will make the flower shovel less durable. In addition, recently, people have come to plant flowers every day, and then the flower beds have been damaged. Ms. Yamazaki and I often use the flower shovel, so we originally planned to use it for about a week.
Perform a detailed cleaning.”
"After all, it is an outdoor working tool, so it is normal that it cannot be kept spotless." Conan put the shovel back, "Okay, let's stop by the brick-making place to visit, and then go to school!"
"I'll take everyone there."
Okamura Saki led a group of people out of the storage room and went to the brick-making studio.
The bricks surrounding the edge of the flower garden were all made by children from the Yoneka Town area.
There is no limit to the number of bricks each child can bake. Some children even come here right after the holidays and bake more than ten bricks in total.
However, when surrounding the flowerbed with bricks, in order to allow the children to put their own bricks on the edge of the flowerbed, Saki Okamura and Toshiko Yamazaki set rules for the children. Each child can only provide one brick, and the remaining bricks
You can take it home as a souvenir, or you can keep it in a regional center and use it when needed for future activities.
Since there are shelves for storing bricks in the studio, after the children picked one and placed it on the edge of the flower bed, most of the other bricks were left in the studio.
After taking a group of people to visit the studio, Okamura Saki was still a little indignant when he went out, "Those bricks in the garden were made by children themselves. How could that vandal destroy the children's minds so unscrupulously? It's really too much.
It’s enough!”
Guangyan followed and walked out of the gate, raised his head and said to Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, if there is no clue in the investigation, let's come over and patrol tonight. That guy will probably come again to destroy the flower garden tonight!"
"The criminals don't know when they will come to cause destruction. We can't keep watch all night, right?" Haiyuan lamented.
"Then we'll stay on guard all night," Yuantai said with high spirits, "We must catch that guy anyway!"
"You don't have to stay all night. When you go to school, I will go to the doctor's place to see if there are any tools that can be used," Chi Feichi said, "For example, an early warning device that sounds an alarm when it is touched, some night
As for the video camera, even if the doctor doesn’t have ready-made tools, that kind of early warning device can be made very quickly. The camera can be bought outside, and we can just come over and install it at night.”
When they arrived in the yard, Conan quietly left the team, ran to the flowerbed and squatted down. He took out three paper towels from his pocket and wiped the three bricks thrown by the vandals on the ground with the paper towels. After folding the paper towels and putting them away, he looked up and saw
There were footprints in the soil of the flower garden. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and quickly returned to the team.
Chi Feichi walked to the gate of the hospital with the three children, and made an appointment to contact them after school, so that the three children could go to school without worries.
Conan caught up with the team from behind and walked to Chi Feichi. When he saw three children saying goodbye to Okamura Saki, he took the opportunity to take out his handkerchief, three folded tissues, and a small paper bag made of folded tissues.
They were all wrapped in a piece of paper towel and stuffed into Chi Feichi's hands.
The next second, a face poked out from the side of Conan's head and suddenly came into Conan's sight, startling Conan.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the thing held by Chi Feichi and asked in a low voice, "You just secretly packed some bricks and fired raw material powder in the studio, right? You want to do something secretly?
