The hunched old woman who followed shouted with a very frightened expression on her face, "Amitabha, Amitabha!!!"
The old woman kept chanting the Buddha's name. When the people of the Takeda family heard about it, they immediately looked nervous, "Spider-sama?"
Takeda Ryuuji swallowed, suppressed his fear and said: "Put my brother down first, then call an ambulance."
Chen Jun touched Takeda Shinichi's carotid artery with one hand, while reaching out to stop everyone, and said calmly: "Don't come here yet, Mr. Takeda Shinichi is out of breath. This has become the scene of the first murder, and no one can approach it at will."
"Murder scene?" Takeda Yuzo shouted: "What do you mean?"
"That's the literal meaning. What you want to call is not an ambulance but a police car. Report the crime. Mr. Takeda Shinichi is already dead."
"Dead, how could it be? Why did my elder brother die?"
Takeda Yuzo yelled, he couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it. He slowly leaned forward and was so excited that even if Conan spontaneously protected the murder scene, he couldn't stop him.
"Mr. Takeda Yuzo, let me warn you again."
"The random and blatant destruction of the murder scene fully demonstrates the criminal suspect's motive for attempting to destroy the murder scene." Chen Jun's words were as precise as a scalpel. Takeda Yuzo stopped and glanced at the members of the Takeda family, "I can understand your mood.
I understand, but if you don’t want to be regarded as a criminal suspect, it’s best to retreat outside the door.”
Takeda Ryuji questioned: "Who are you?"
Conan didn't want to aggravate the situation and took the initiative to speak for Chen Jun, "This eldest brother is a top forensic student at Dongda University and has solved major cases for the police."
The signboard of the University of Tokyo is very useful, especially in a remote and remote area of Japan like Tottori Prefecture, which made the Takeda family and others look a little in awe.
Takeda Ryuji took a deep breath and said, "Even if my elder brother is dead now and this has become the scene of a murder, how did the murderer escape from here?"
"The wooden door has been locked tightly just now, and it can only be entered and exited from inside." Takeda Ryuuji pointed to a small window on the left, "That small window is the only exit of this room, but the size of the window can only accommodate children.
His body passed through, how did the murderer escape?"
"Secret room murder!"
Conan looked at the small window and this idea suddenly came to his mind.
Chen Jun strongly agreed with Chen Jun's conclusion that the deceased died of homicide. Both Takeda Nobuna's original remarks and the Takeda family revealed a lot of weirdness, and the possibility of a murder was very high.
But how did the murderer kill someone in a locked room? What was the murderer's modus operandi when he committed a murder in a secret room?
Conan was puzzled. He looked over with his small eyes and saw that Chen Jun was already standing next to the body of the victim Shinichi Takeda. Just like last time, he put on professional white gloves on his hands and observed the body meticulously.
The body of the victim, who was in his early 170s, was suspended in the air, at least 50cm away from the ground. Chen Jun stepped on a stool to observe and analyze the body.
In the dark and gloomy puppet warehouse, Chen Jun carefully inspected the body and analyzed the symptoms.
He never believed in secret room murders!
After all, when he was a teenager, he killed Kirihara's father who wanted to sexually assault Yukiho. He also faked the secret room murder method. In the end, he was discovered by the old police officer Junzo Uehara. The method of committing the crime was through a door that could only be accessed by children.
The ventilation ducts carried out the murder.
No one would have thought that the murderer was actually a pair of children walking together all day long.
This room can indeed be called a secret room.
When he and Conan arrived, the door to the puppet's room was locked tightly. Even with his strength not higher than the level of martial arts in Conan's world, the door still gave him a lot of backlash.
Returning to the body of the victim Shinichi Takeda, the first thing to determine is the time of death. It can no longer be inferred based on body spots like in the murder case at the art museum.
Because if it is mechanical asphyxia, that is, strangulation by hanging, the lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide storage in the body stimulates the medullary respiratory system, causing breathing to deepen and speed up, which will cause a substantial increase in blood pressure, intensify breathing movements, increase thoracic blood pressure, and return to normal.
Increased blood volume causes rapid congestion in the meridian system, which specifically causes redness and streaks on the face and body skin, and accelerates the appearance of cadaverous spots.
If the corpse is cooled and the body temperature is used, there will be a certain error, because if the victim died of suffocation, the breathing will be intensified, and the increase in blood pressure will increase the body temperature, so the cooling of the corpse will be delayed accordingly.
In this case, there is no way to judge. It can be judged by various methods such as the degree of muscle relaxation, excitement and corneal turbidity of the deceased.
Forensic medicine is a job that has to face a variety of situations. When encountering different murder cases, such as traffic deaths, high temperature burning, stabbings with sharp weapons, poisoning, mechanical asphyxiation, drowning, rape and murder, we must have different response methods, which not only requires carefulness
, but also to have rich experience.
"This is?"
Chen Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed the wound on the back of the head of the deceased Takeda Shinichi.
After a while, a small shiny object reflected the light in the corner, attracting Conan's eyes. He quickly took out the silk scarf from his arms and put it on his hands. At this time, Chen Jun came over, and the little boy saw the silk scarf in his hands.
gloves, and asked with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Brother, do you carry professional gloves with you?"
"Occupational habits."
Chen Jun was afraid of damaging Conan's young mind, so he did not mention that there was a set of professional human anatomy tools in his room.
"This is a thumbtack! Why do you need a thumbtack?" Conan asked doubtfully.
Chen Jun and Conan looked up at the beams on the puppet room, where was the main beam where the victim Shinichi Takeda was hanged.
"Brother, have you finished the examination?"
"The autopsy is almost complete."
"What else do you want to test?"
The 70-year-old Mrs. Takeda, whose face was covered with wrinkles and looked like tree bark, hunched over her body, shouted angrily, "Shinichi's death must have been caused by the Spider-sama climbing up the warehouse with his six legs and entering through the window.
Then she strangled Xinyi to death with her own spider web. She must have done this to punish Xinyi for building the warehouse here. It's terrible. If you continue to investigate, Master Spider's curse will fall on you.
"
After the old lady finished speaking, she stubbornly walked down the stairs without looking back.
Conan asked: "What is Lord Spider?"
Takeda Ryuji replied: "That is an ancient legend here. It is said that there used to be a spider beauty who looked like a fairy on this mountain. She would often ask travelers some questions, such as do you think there is a paradise? Do you want to?
Go wait."
"Travelers were seduced by her beauty. Once they answered, they would lose their minds and be taken to the depths of the forest, never to return. After hearing this rumor, a puppet master made a puppet that was as tall as anyone else.
, placed it on the mountain road, and hid to see what was going on. Later, the woman did come, but before she could ask the puppet's identity, she transformed into a grinning spider with six arms and legs and a fishy smell all over her body.
After she revealed her true form, the puppet master shot her to death with a rocket he carried. Lord Spider wailed and fled into the deep forest. Finally, the villagers discovered that Lord Spider and his nest of little spiders had all died in the nest. The villagers above and below were afraid of Lord Spider.
Cursed, an ancestral hall was built to worship it, and later this peak was also called Puppet Mountain."
"After my father died, my brother Takeda Shinichi inherited his father's business. Regardless of the opposition of the villagers, he bulldozed Spider-sama's ancestral hall and built a warehouse. Three years later, the warehouse was completed.
A strange thing happened. My eldest brother’s daughter, Misa, and my sister-in-law committed suicide in this warehouse one after another. Because they were discovered too late, their bodies were covered with cobwebs. Their deaths were tragic and unbearable to witness. This is what my mother said was the curse.
reason."
As Takeda Ryuji spoke, there seemed to be an indescribable chill in the warehouse.
Darkness, dead silence, humidity, cobwebs, murders, bloodstains... Under Takeda Shinichi's wide-eyed gaze, many members of the Takeda family behind him involuntarily retreated.
Conan rubbed his chin and thought about this legend quietly.
Takeda Ryuji took a deep breath and continued, "Later, Mr. Negishi died in the storage room. The hanging wires that hung Mr. Negishi's hands and feet were exactly the same as my brother's, just like spider silk." He swallowed.
The next mouthful of spit was filled with a hint of panic.
"Brother, what do you think?"
"No, you didn't find that the deceased Negishi, Takeda Shinichi, Misa and others died in different places! The former is a storage room and the latter is a warehouse. As for this legend..."
Chen Jun paused and walked towards the door: "I will use science to crack it."
