Monday, August 2nd, around 7 a.m., Phantom Kui Temple.

Mori found that Oda Hideaki was hanging from a corner of the top floor of the five-storied tower, and immediately called Ran to call the police, and then entered the tower, and after going up to the fifth floor, he took a look from a distance and confirmed that the person was indeed Oda Hideaki, and then immediately shrank back, and then grabbed Conan, who wanted to go over, and carried him downstairs to Ran. ……

About half an hour later, the Henggou Police Department led the team to come, and when they saw Mao Li, they immediately ran over in surprise, "Mr. Mao Li, it's great that you can be here, what is the incident? Who is the prisoner?"

Mori said: "The deceased was Hideaki Oda, the president of the Oda Tourism Company under Yamashita, and whether he killed him remains to be investigated." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"Mr. Oda is tall and burly, weighing about 100 kilograms, and it is impossible to carry him to the fifth floor alone, because the staircase passage is very narrow, and if you drag it up, it will inevitably leave marks on the ground, and there is no such thing now. "So, Mr. Oda either committed suicide or was carried up by two people." As he spoke, he looked at the abbot of Dankai and Kukai.

"Nonsense!" shouted Abbot Tammi, "Xiao Tian doesn't worship the gods and Buddhas, this is the punishment of the gods and Buddhas for him. ”

"Damnation?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"It's the legend here. Maori told the legend of the Phantom Kui Temple, and then said, "Nine times out of ten, this was done by the monks in the temple at that time." ”

"That's true. Henggou Police Department said.

The abbot of Danhai shouted, "You ungodly and Buddha guys, don't talk nonsense there!"

At this time, a police officer on the tower shouted, the photo work is completed, can the body be put down.

"That's it. The Henggou Police Department said loudly, "Be careful. ”

Soon after, two police officers carried Oda Hideaki's body down and told the Yokogou Police Department that they had found a strange problem, that Oda's feet could not reach the railing, and that he was still about 50 centimeters away.

"What!" Maori, the Henggou Police Department, and Conan were all taken aback.

By the way," Maori said to the Yokogou Police Department, "you see if his belongings are still there, when I saw him yesterday, he had a wallet full of cash and a diamond tie clip on him. ”

"Ahh

At this time, Yosuke Kajimura ran over, saw the body of Hideaki Oda, and shouted on the ground, "President, you are ......"

"Mr. Maori, he's ......," the Henggou Police Department asked.

Mori said: "This is Mr. Yosuke Kajimura, the manager of the Phantom Hotel at Yamashita, he went to Tokyo last night, and the murderer will not be him." ”

"Tokyo?" the Yokomizo Police Department thought for a moment and asked, "From here to Tokyo, if you drive, you can definitely run a night and a half round trip, Mr. Kajimura, what are you doing in Tokyo, and when did you set off and come back?"

"I went to Ginza to meet a client, and then I stayed overnight at an inn in front of Shinagawa Station, and I came back not long ago to report something to the president. As a result, I heard at the front desk that Mr. Mori had said that the president had an accident here, so I rushed here. Yosuke Kajimura said.

"Is it, Mr. Maori?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"Yes, I said it at the front desk. Maori said.

Yosuke Kajimura said, "By the way, I have some bills for reimbursement. As he spoke, he took out his wallet, but he fell to the ground and landed at Conan's feet.

Conan picked up his wallet and found a large amount of cash in it, as well as an unexpected thing, and was shocked and stunned for a moment.

"Thank you, little friend. Yosuke Kajimura took the wallet from Conan's hand, then took out the hotel's toll slip and some highway toll slips and handed them to the Yokozo Police Department.

Henggou Police Department looked at it, the hotel's toll bill on the check-in time was less than 11 o'clock last night, the departure time was not written, but it was as of 9 o'clock in the morning, and according to the time of the highway toll bill, it was indeed only back.

"Well, I said it's not him. Maori laughed.

No, it must have been him, Conan thought to himself, if he had left for the hotel the night before, he would have been able to get here around two in the morning. Mr. Oda went out of the Phantom Hotel at two o'clock this morning, and must have received a call from him, but why did he meet here at the Phantom Kui Temple? Also, how did he hang Mr. Oda alone?

"By the way, did our president commit suicide?" asked Yosuke Kajimura.

"Suicide?" asked the Henggou Police Department, "why do you say that?"

"Because we have some financial problems in the club. Yosuke Kajimura said.

"Wouldn't it?" said Maori, "I don't think he has a problem with that." ”

"No, not financially, legally. Yosuke Kajimura said.

"It's possible, but your president is definitely killing him. "When he was put down, we found that his feet were 50 centimeters from the railing. ”

"Could that be a suicide by jumping up?" asked Yosuke Kajimura.

"Are you an idiot for us?" Mori yelled along with the Yokogou Police Department.

"Don't, don't get excited. Yosuke Kajimura wiped the spit on his face with a handkerchief, "I'm just providing some references." ”

At this time, a police officer came to report that a tie clip had been found in the grass and two rows of suspicious marks nearby.

Everyone looked over, and Yosuke Kajimura pointed out that the tie clip was Hideaki Oda's.

"Yes, indeed. Maori touched his chin and muttered to himself, "But why does it fall off, the tie clip is not so easy to fall off." ”

Looking at the two rows of traces on the ground, the Henggou Police Department said: "This seems to be a drag trace." ”

"Wait, do you mean ......" Mori immediately returned to Oda Hideaki's body, and after a closer look, he found that he had no external injuries, and that there was mud on the heels of both feet, so he said happily, "I see, he must have been put on a noose around his neck, and then pushed down, and then he was dragged and hung up, and he lost his wallet and tie clip as he struggled on the way." ”

"If that's the case......" the Henggou police department checked the rope, "there are traces of friction on this rope, and it seems that this is the case." ”

And with Mr. Oda's size, if he wants to tie a knot to fix it after cutting the rope, it is self-evident who the murderer is. "And they also have a dispute with Mr. Oda, and it makes perfect sense to kill him in the name of God's curse." ”

No, Conan looked at the knot and thought to himself, if it was this knot, then one could also hold the rope in place after cutting it.

"Dispute?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"That's right. Maori told me what I had heard last night.

"No, that's not the case at all, that guy Oda doesn't plan to run it well at all, he just wants to develop this place and sell it all. Tammi shouted, and then angrily said to Okabe Shigekichi, "It's all your fault. ”

"I—I'm also for the good of the temple. Okabe Shigekichi whispered.

"So, do you have an alibi?" asked the Henggou Police Department, "especially after two o'clock in the morning." ”

"Nope. Kukai said, "We were in our respective rooms last night. ”

"I was in my room chanting. Abbot Danhai said.

"Chanting the scriptures in the wee hours of the morning?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"I have a hunch that Oda will be damned, so I'm overdoing it for him. Abbot Danhai said in an eerie tone.

"Yes, is it?" the Yokozo Police Department wiped a cold sweat and asked Okabe Shigeyoshi, "What about you?"

"I slept at home in the wee hours of the morning and no one could prove it. "When I came to clean up this morning, I found the body. ”

"Oh? I found you. Henggou Police Department said.

"Mr. Officer," Kukai said, "if you say that we are murderers, please show us solid evidence, and sleep in your room in the early hours of the morning, I don't think this needs to be proved, and if you investigate, I think many people in the neighborhood will not be able to produce an alibi." ”

"This ......," the Henggou Police Department muttered.

At this time, a police officer came to report that there seemed to be something in a well near the tower, and asked if he wanted to take it out and take a look.

"By the way, that must be the rest of the rope. Maori immediately said, "This thing is the best evidence in the temple, if it is someone else, it will definitely take the rest of the rope away." ”

"It's also possible to blame. Kukai said, "The murderer deliberately threw the rope inside. ”

"Well," said the Henggou Police Department, "it's very likely." ”

After a while, everyone came to the well, and Maori felt dizzy and retreated after just one look, the well was too deep.

I see, Conan looked at the bottom of the well illuminated by the light, laughed, and then noticed that Maori was backing away, and immediately gave him a needle.

The staggering Maori hit a tree and sat down like this, Conan hurriedly ran over and put the Raising Button on Maori's collar, "Uncle, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" and put the voice-changing bow tie that was tuned to Maori's voice to his mouth, "It's okay, you get out of the way, I have something to say." ”

"Yes, yes. Conan said as he took his bow tie and ran behind a tree to hide.

"Have something to say?" the Henggou Police Department looked at Maori and said with some surprise, "Ah! This pose is ......"

"Sleeping Kogoro!" Okabe Shigeyoshi exclaimed in surprise.

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, is there anything wrong with this incident?"

Conan said in a Maori voice, "Yes, when I saw this deep well, I suddenly figured out the truth of the incident. ”

"The truth?" asked the Henggou Police Department, "Mr. Maori, isn't the murderer a monk from this Phantom Kui Temple?"

"Yes, the murderer is someone else. Conan said in a Maori voice, "The murderer is you, Mr. Yosuke Kajimura." ”

"I, no kidding, Mr. Maori. Yosuke Kajimura said, "I was in Tokyo at the time, how could I kill President Oda here." ”

"Indeed, Mr. Mori, if you want to hang the rope on the tower and hang Mr. Oda, this method is not a matter of a few minutes, come at eleven o'clock in the evening to do the crime and then go back, and then come back again, this is not enough time. The Yokozo Police Department asked, "And Mr. Kajimura is alone, how can he hang Mr. Oda?"

"That's it. Yosuke Kajimura said.

"With the help of this well, the whole process of the incident, I think it will take less than five minutes, the whole time is enough. And the slipknot on the rope shows that there is only one person who has committed the murder in the name of the Heavenly Punishment of the Phantom Kui Temple. Conan said in a Maori voice, "There's building materials next to it, so let's try it out." Please first put a steel bar at the wellhead, one end on the inner edge, tie it to it with a rope, and then prepare some heavy objects to put at the wellhead, preferably 100 kilograms, press one end on the steel bar and hang it on the well. Prepare a rope about 50 meters long, at a distance of about 7 meters, press the knot on the murder weapon, tie a knot as well, please take this rope up to the tower, let the rope go around the corner on the tower, let the two ends of the rope hang down, the knotless end is wrapped around the weight, and the knotted end is tied to a sandbag of about 100 kilograms. Note that in addition to the sandbags, please let one person do these things, and finally ask him to stand behind the erected sandbags holding on to the rope that holds the rebar to it. ”

"Understood. "The Henggou Police Department immediately asked people to do it, and it was ready soon after.

"So, let him pull the rope that holds the rebar and trip over the sandbag in front of him. Conan said in a Maori voice.

The officer pulled the rope that tied the rebar as he was told, and then tripped over the sandbag in front of him. As a result, the steel bars at the wellhead were displaced, and the heavy object hanging at the wellhead lost its support and fell into the well, and the heavy object drove the rope, and the rope pulled the sandbag that fell to the ground, and after dragging the sandbag to move on the ground for a certain distance, it was hoisted up, and then hung under the corner of the top layer of the five-storied tower.

"Next, bring a knife and a sturdy baton to the tower. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Thread the rod through the knot and attach it to the railing, then cut the rope and tie the knot to the railing with the rope instead of the stick." ”

Soon after, the police shouted from the five-storied pagoda that it really did, but at a different distance.

"Of course it's different, my experiment is just the result of visual inspection. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Since this place is going to be developed, it should be measured, and Mr. Kajimura, as the manager of the Phantom Hotel, is very likely to have read the relevant data, so that he can get an accurate number." ”

"That's just as well. Henggou Police Department said.

"All that remains is to throw the broken rope that fell to the ground into the well. Conan said in a Maori voice, "If this trap had been done beforehand, the whole crime would have taken less than five minutes, and he would have had enough time." ”

"That's true. The Henggou Police Department said, "Call Mr. Oda on the way, huh? Wait, why does Mr. Oda come here in the early hours of the morning, and if you want to talk about things, you should be in the hotel." ”

"Maybe it's something, I don't know. Conan said in a Maori voice.

Yosuke Kajimura shouted, "What about the evidence, where do you say the evidence is......?"
