Akashi Hiroto twisted his tongue: "It's unrealistic for people to play tennis in the rain, but I've been living in the woods, and it's been really lonely for a long time - anyway, I cook curry in one plate.
, it’s all cooked in one pot, so I simply heated it a little more, hoping that someone would come, but I didn’t expect that I actually got a lucky guest.”
"Well..." Officer Yamamura was a little convinced, and turned to look at the man in sunglasses next to him - this man just looked at him a few times, and then said several things related to him, and all of them were correct.
The reasoning is as accurate as fortune telling, which is really impressive.
So this time, Yamamura did not mess around with this wallflower, but cautiously asked the new thigh next to him: "Is there any other evidence?"
Jiang Xia pushed up his sunglasses again, which were a bit heavy on the bridge of his nose: "The extra curry is not considered evidence, but it contradicts Mr. Akashi's testimony. He said that the deceased went to the dentist three days ago and had a bone removed.
Teeth, but if there is such a disease in the family, spicy curry is usually not cooked as food. This kind of diet will irritate the wound - and you seem to have discovered new evidence just now?"
The Yamacun Police Department nodded repeatedly and pointed at Conan: "The child was rummaging through the scene just now and accidentally pulled out a newly lost tooth from the curry. According to our comparison, it fell out of the deceased's mouth.
"
Judy's ears twitched: "..." How can I dig out the things buried in the curry rice?
Moreover, Conan and the "new doctor" discovered this clue not long after they went upstairs. It can be seen that they almost went straight to the curry rice of the deceased... Ha, it must be the secret guidance of the "new doctor", don't
Speaking of high school students, this organization actually doesn't even spare first-year students.
Judy continued to write in her little notebook.
Next to him, the tennis coach was sweating even more. He had already heard from the man in sunglasses that this was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he didn't expect that his flaws would be caught one after another.
Fortunately, I have a flexible mind...
The tennis coach immediately changed his mind: "I must have remembered it wrong. Maybe when my dad came back from the dentist, he told me that he wanted to pull out his teeth, but I remembered it as 'had his teeth pulled out.'"
Yamamura Cao sighed: "So that's it, but how can you cook the beef in the curry so hard? In addition to the chipped tooth of the deceased, several other big teeth on the same side were also loose - maybe
Because he lost his teeth, he collapsed and committed suicide."
Why did it turn into suicide again...Jiang Xiaquan didn't hear it, and continued what he said: "The deceased's teeth were not knocked out by curry, but something else - that is, the piece of hemp that strangled him.
rope.
"After the murderer went upstairs, he easily subdued the short deceased and put the rope loop around his neck. Then he raised the deceased slightly, looped a section of the hanging rope to the front, and let the deceased bite the rope.
"The deceased must bite the rope tightly and use the force of the bite to prevent his body from falling, otherwise once he lets go, the noose around his neck will immediately tighten and kill him.
"One of his big teeth fell apart while biting the rope and fell into the curry on the table.
"At the same time, the action of biting the rope stopped him from calling for help. Even if he wanted to speak, he could only make whining noises and couldn't speak a word."
When Judy heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately remembered the strange "whimpering" she heard when she first went upstairs.
At that time, she was surprised that the old man was not dead, but also breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought that there was just a strange old man upstairs who had a mental breakdown. Without thinking more, she returned downstairs. But who knew... there was indeed no dead person in the house at that time.
, but there is a person who is turning into a dead person!
Even though she had come into contact with countless corpses, the death process happening clearly around her still made Judy break into a cold sweat after realizing it.
Police officer Yamacun remembered something and scratched his head: "But... the hemp rope was very rough. If it was really like this, then there should be a lot of hemp rope scraps left in the deceased's mouth, but in fact his mouth
It’s quite clean in there.”
Jiang Xia looked at the police officer responsible for collecting evidence: "Are there any handkerchiefs or anything like that around the deceased?"
"Yes! There are a lot of traces of dried saliva on that handkerchief, and it's also wrinkled..." Yamamura Cao was halfway through his answer when an idea suddenly flashed, "You mean, the murderer used this handkerchief to put it on the outside of the hemp rope.
The deceased was in direct contact with the handkerchief, so there were no hemp rope fragments in his mouth?"
He quietly changed it to honorific.
A good detective can not only bring enjoyment to viewers with his smooth case solving, but can also significantly shorten the police's overtime.
Although Jiang Xia is undoubtedly such a detective, he is always in Tokyo and does not have many opportunities to deal with the Gunma Prefectural Police... In comparison, this wild detective who appeared out of nowhere is not necessarily the case!
Yamamura rubbed his hands and secretly prayed that this was a local detective, and he'd better help the police in Gunma Prefecture just like Jiang Xia helped the Tokyo police.
Yamamura Cao: "..." Well, the only problem is that there are not many murders in Gunma County, at least it is far from comparable to Tokyo. If he finally managed to fool people, the detective stayed for a while and felt bored and left.
That would be very regrettable.
...Oh, forget it, let's count it out once and for all, solve the case in front of you first.
The Yamacun Police Department came to their senses and quickly asked another question: "There is another question - if the method you deduced is correct, then why didn't the deceased hold the rope above his head with his hands to support his body? Even if he is a human being,
I don’t have much strength when I’m old, so at least I can hold on for a few seconds and shout for help, which is better than gritting my teeth all the time.”
"In addition..." He pointed at Judy and said bluntly in the latter's sinister eyes, "Because this lady is very suspicious, I remember her testimony very clearly."
"She went upstairs twice. When she went upstairs for the first time, the light in the deceased's room was on, and there were whimpering sounds from the living people in the room."
"And when she went upstairs for the second time, the lights in the room had been turned off. During the interval between the two times when she went upstairs, all of them were in the living room, and no one left. The only person who could go to the crime scene to turn off the lights was
people……"
The mountain village police department looked at the wild detective and expressed what he wanted to say with his eyes: Only you, a person who appeared out of nowhere, has the chance to turn off the lights.
The target he was staring at laughed, and then, as if he had read through his mind, he said calmly: "Besides me, there is actually another candidate to turn off the lights - the deceased himself."
