Chapter 249 Why did the murderer’s footprints disappear?
Surviving this year in the world of Conan is victory Chapter 249: Why did the murderer’s footprints disappear?
"Big brother—big brother—"
There was a sudden noise outside the house. Yu Fujiwara, who had just returned to the house where he was staying and planned to change his coat, walked out quickly and saw Yuzo Takeda with an anxious look on his face.
Takeda Ryuji, who also came out of the living room because of the noise, looked at his younger brother and asked:
"What's wrong Yong San, why are you in such a panic?"
"My eldest brother is missing. I have searched in the studio and other places, but I can't find him!" Takeda Yuzo didn't look as drunk as before. His eldest brother's sudden disappearance had sobered him up.
Fujiwara Yu frowned when he heard this. Combining the three suicides with hidden secrets and the contents of the commission letter, he quickly turned to look at Takeda Ryuji and spoke very quickly:
"Mr. Long Er, where is your warehouse?!"
"Warehouse? If it's a warehouse, it's right over by the back door... Huh? Officer Taka, where are you going?"
Fujiwara Yuko didn't have time to answer him. He turned around, picked up the flashlight on the living room table, and ran towards the back door. After seeing the two-story old warehouse, he noticed that the windows on the second floor turned out to be
open status.
Realizing that something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it. He took out his gloves from his pocket and put them on while running quickly into the warehouse. His target was the second floor of the warehouse where three suicides had occurred.
He pressed his hand on the door handle and tried to twist it, but found that it was locked.
"Officer Takaji, hu... you don't think big brother is here, do you?" Takeda Ryuuji, who came after him, was panting slightly. He didn't exercise much on weekdays, and he just ran for a few steps.
Breathing heavily.
The response to Takeda Ryuji was not words, but actions.
Fujiwara Yu directly raised his right knee to the height of his chest, and kicked the locked wooden door with his luck. After hearing a loud noise, the wooden door collapsed, and the scene before his eyes was something he would never forget.
I saw that Takeda Shinichi's neck was wrapped with a thick hemp rope, and his whole body was lifted off the ground and hung on the beams of the roof. His entire face was a terrifying purple color, and his eyeballs were bulging out, showing the expression he left before his death.
You could tell he was frightened.
But what surprised Fujiwara Yu the most was that Takeda Shinichi’s body was completely entangled in puppet strings, as if the craftsman who made the puppet was being manipulated by his own carefully crafted puppet.
"Big...brother?"
Takeda Yuzo is really sober now. He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Is their family really cursed by a spider monster? Whose turn will it be to commit suicide next?
Standing aside, Takeda Ryuuji couldn't believe the scene in front of him. It was very similar to the scene when Mr. Negishi died. But he didn't believe that his eldest brother would commit suicide. How could he commit suicide? He also wanted Officer Takaji to let him commit suicide.
Investigate the truth behind Mr. Negishi’s death!
"Spider...it's spider...it's Master Spider who is causing trouble!
"Takeda Chie, who walked out of her house at some point, screamed in surprise when she saw this. Her expression looked like she had seen a monster.
Master Spider? Fujiwara Yu shook his head. This is obviously a puppet thread. How can a spider spin silk to support a person? This mother-in-law's imagination is too rich.
He did not rush to get close to the deceased, but squatted down and took out a flashlight to carefully examine the warehouse floor.
You must know that the second floor of this warehouse is in an abandoned state. There have been three suicides in just three years. No one comes here on weekdays. Naturally, no one comes to clean it, so he wants to take a look at the floor.
What does the dust look like?
Through the light of the flashlight, one can indeed clearly see a series of footprints, pacing at the door and then extending to the window. Other than that, there are no other footprints... How is this possible?
Why have the murderer's footprints disappeared?
Takeda Ryuuji saw Takaji Sousuke squatting on the ground without saying a word. He leaned down and asked:
"Officer Eagle Division, we are now..."
"Find a way to call the police. Mr. Shinichi has shown the characteristics of mechanical asphyxiation."
The implication is that he has passed away.
"How could it be, brother, how could he die..." Takeda Ryuuji looked dazed for a few seconds and then quickly cheered up. He looked at the nanny Shiotani Miyuki behind him and ordered: "Shiotani, please contact the police."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Fujiwara Yu walked inside with a flashlight, and when he put his hand on the surface of the body, he could already feel the cold. Even the body showed mild muscle contraction. The time of death was at least more than an hour.
But an hour ago, the people with alibi were everyone except Takeda Tomoe.
How did the murderer kill people in the air? He couldn't have the ability to clone himself like a ninja, right?
Taking advantage of his height, Yu Fujiwara could see the state of the victim's neck by just raising his toes. The area where the force was applied was darker purple-black, while the color gradually became lighter on both sides. This is a typical constriction ditch.
Now we can basically determine that the cause of death was hanging, and rule out the possibility of strangulation first and then faking it.
Um?
Fujiwara Yu suddenly noticed something dark red at the end of his hair. When he focused the light of the flashlight on the back of his head, he found that a small amount of blood seeping out of the back of his head had solidified. Could it be that the murderer had hit the victim on the back of his head with something, causing the injury?
Is he incapacitated?
By the way, change the source app to anyanapp version.】
"Hey, why is the window on the second floor open here? Hey! Is there anyone inside?
"
It has to be said that Hattori Heiji's voice is really loud. If he is paired with a big speaker, he may be able to cause mental trauma to the enemy, and it will also have a penetrating effect.
Fujiwara Yu walked forward with his half-moon eyes widened. When he came to the window, he found that the window was very small, so small that he could only pass through a child under 1.2 meters tall. Being 1.9 meters tall, he could only grab the upper beam with both hands.
Stick your head out in a pull-up position and look down to see the outgoing trio standing downstairs.
He was afraid that these people wouldn't notice him, so he raised his voice and replied:
"Hattori, come up quickly... Toyama, just wait on the first floor of the warehouse. Don't come to the second floor."
Just now in the car, I observed Toyama's frightened expression after hearing about the Spider Mansion. Takeda Shinichi's body was in such a state. It would be better not to let her see it, otherwise she would have nightmares at night.
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment before he understood Takaji's subtext. He quickly ran towards the second floor of the warehouse. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the scene inside, which was really shocking.
But after the impact, there was a sense of excitement, and he felt that the detective cells in his body were boiling.
"Oh, this bastard actually dares to send a murder notice? I have to catch you."
As soon as Fujiwara Yu approached Hattori, he heard his somewhat unreasonable remarks. He lightly tapped his forehead with the back of his hand and asked:
"Stop talking to yourself there. Do you have any thoughts after seeing this body?"
Hattori Heiji carefully walked around the body of Takeda Shinichi. Since he was not tall enough and wanted to see the ditch, he could only move a dusty small bench from the side. After determining the cause of death, he said confidently:
"The murderer wanted to use the curse of the Spider Mansion to confuse the police. I think... the right direction of the investigation is to find out the truth about the three previous suicides."
"Well, ninety-nine points."
"Hey? Why is it ninety-nine points? Shouldn't it be a perfect score?"
"I'm giving you full marks because I'm afraid you'll be proud. Besides, you haven't found the murderer yet... huh?"
Fujiwara Yu suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something on the sole of his shoe. He jumped to the side and took off his right sneaker, only to find a thumbtack stuck in the sole.
Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji quickly took out his mobile phone to shine a weak light. He leaned over and checked the floor to make sure there were no thumbtacks before he said:
"It's really dangerous. If the soles weren't thicker, they would have hurt my feet!"
