Chapter 55 Solving the Case

"Now, uncle, do you have scissors, staplers, and long ropes here?" Conan asked, putting down the bottle and looking up at Araki.

"Huh?" Araki was puzzled by Conan's sudden question.

"Conan, what do you want to do with that?" asked Lan, tilting her head.

"Aren't we going to wait here for the police until morning?" Conan jumped out of his chair and walked around to Arakinori's side, "Hehe, there's nothing to do anyway, and I want to finish my homework before then." ”

"Oh, I see. Well, I think there seem to be these things in my room, little brother, come with me. Araki nodded in disbelief, and as he spoke, he led Conan to his room.

However, a few minutes later, Araki returned alone with a frown, with a vague worry on his face.

"Huh, Mr. Ara, why are you alone, Conan?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask when she didn't see the familiar little figure.

"That little brother, he," Araki swallowed, a little distracted, "he's gone." ”

"Huh?" Xiaolan stood up from her chair in surprise and took a few steps forward.

"Well, Anla, Xiaolan, that little ghost probably ran to the toilet by himself again. Yuan Zi waved his hand casually, and comforted Xiaolan with a relaxed expression.

"No, I went to the toilet to look for it, and the little brother is not there. Moreover, the bows and arrows that had been placed with me before are gone. ”

"What?!" Arama Yoshinori's words made everyone stand up in surprise, and even Sakata Akahara, who had been sitting on the tail seat without changing his face, frowned slightly.

"I said, that little brother won't be ...... by the murderer" Kuroda's words were not completely finished, but everyone understood what she meant, and cold sweat slid down her cheeks, could it be that the murderer was really so cruel that even children were not spared?

"Ah!!!h

"That's Conan's voice!" Ran exclaimed worriedly.

"Everyone, go your separate ways. ”

"Over here. Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by another voice. I saw that Sakata Akahara had left his original position at some point, and at this time, like an angry leopard, his body exuded a cold breath, and quickly disappeared at the staircase.

"Mr. Sakata......" Xiaolan seemed to be frightened by Sakata Akahara's momentum, and was stunned for a moment, then reacted and followed behind Sakata Akahara.

Followed closely by Sakata Akahara, looking at the mysterious police officer in front of him who was not even a man in age, but only a big boy, he seemed to know it early on, and rushed to a room with a clear goal. Xiaolan's heart was full of surprise, was it a coincidence? Or could this big boy hear where a person was just by sound? Remember, there seemed to be such a person in distant memory, who could easily find himself and Shinichi just by sound. That's it, Night Talk......

Night Talk, thinking of the little brother who had long since died, Xiaolan suddenly felt a little gloomy, looking at the running figure of Sakata Akahara in front of her, she couldn't help but think, when she grows up, will Night Talk be the same as this big boy?

Akahara Sakata in front pushed open a door, and Conan, the worried child, was indeed inside.

"Conan?" Standing behind Sakata Akahara, behind him were Yuan Zi and others, Xiaolan suppressed the troubled thoughts in her heart, no matter what, looking at Conan who was safe and sound in the room, Xiaolan was still relieved, and at the same time, she was also surprised by Conan's exclamation just now.

"Sister Xiaolan, Brother Sakata......" Conan only had time to say hello, and then, as if the scene was repeated, a short arrow flew from the window and stuck straight into the wall.

"Ah, here we go again. Xiaolan screamed in fright.

"Well, there's someone outside, this time in the forest on the right. Conan lifted the curtains, looked outside, and ran downstairs without saying a word.

"Ah, Conan!" Ran called out to Conan and followed him, "Wait, Conan." ”

"Yamanaka Lady, can you wait?" After everyone had followed, Akahara Sakata, who was bowing his head in contemplation, stopped Yamanaka.

"Huh?" Yamanaka, who was about to run down, turned his head strangely.

"Hey, Conan!" After running into the woods, Xiaolan, who finally caught up with Conan, grabbed Conan and grabbed Conan, "How can you run around like this?

"However, if the murderer gets the bow and arrow again, it means ......" Arabitsu was a little out of breath because of his fast running.

“…… Wouldn't it be easier for the murderer to find out if you wandered around here?" Kuroda picked up Arakinori's unfinished words.

Conan didn't care what they said, but turned his head to look at the garden, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuanzi, I'm doing a good job, right?"

"What's the matter?" said the garden, who was suddenly named, and pointed his finger at Conan in confusion.

"That's right...... That's ......" Conan pulled the garden and pulled her to a tree.

"That?" Zonoko leaned his ear to Conan in confusion.

"Heh......" Conan succeeded in his treacherous plan and pressed the anesthetic watch in his hand.

"Ah......h

"Hey, Garden, what's wrong with you? Cheer up, Garden?" Xiaolan approached the Garden, gently shaking the Garden, trying to wake her up.

"It's you who should cheer up, Lan. Conan hid behind a tree and turned the voice changer into the garden's voice.

"Huh?" Xiaolan was puzzled by the garden's words.

"Sa, take out the crossbow behind me. The garden commanded.

"Eh, why is the bow and crossbow here?" Xiao Lan picked up the bow and crossbow although it was strange.

"Now, take the bow and crossbow and go to Mr. Hamano's room upstairs. The garden did not explain, but continued to take care of himself.

"Hey, what the hell do you want to do?" Kuroda, who was as confused as everyone else, couldn't help but ask.

"Coming down, I'm going to re-enact with Xiaolan, the bloody magic performed by the murderer in this backyard tonight. ”

"What?!" said the garden, which surprised everyone, "to re-enact the bloody magic?"

"Yes, I already know the modus operandi and who the real murderer is. Yuanzi's tone was full of confidence.

"Xiaolan, do what I just said, I'm ready for the rest. ”

"Yes, I see. Xiaolan turned around and ran back to the villa.

"But what do you do with only bows and arrows?"

"Bows and arrows alone are not enough, but ropes and scissors are needed to make impossible crimes possible. Hiding behind a tree behind the garden, Conan explained everything he had deduced in a coherent manner.

"First of all, dig two holes in the ends of the two arrows, and then make a small circle with a rope there, and then pass the measured long rope through the two small circles, and attach two more long ropes in the middle of the long rope, and tie the two long ropes in the middle to the balustrade of the balcony, and the preparation is complete. All that's left is to shoot the arrows one by one. ”

"Garden, I've already connected the rope according to the instructions on the paper, but where are I going to aim next?" Conan explained, and Xiaolan finished her preparations.

"On the trunk of this tree, Sister Lan. Conan ran out of the back of the garden while no one was looking, stood still in front of a tree, and shouted at Xiaolan, "It's okay, if you fail, you can do it again, be careful not to let the ropes get tangled." ”

"yes, okay, I'm going to. Get out of the way!" Xiaolan posed and cheered for herself in her heart.

"Wait a minute, I'll shoot it, I'm good at it. Doi Tucker didn't know when he went around behind Xiaolan.

When did that guy pass?" Conan was shocked, and couldn't help but think to himself.

"I'm going to. Doi Tucker aimed at the tree that Conan was talking about, and the arrow fired, and it hit, "Great, it hit!"

"Shoot the other arrow as well, and just shoot it at the trunk of the tree opposite the one you just shot. ”

Doi Tucker seemed to be very good at archery, and when he heard this, he easily shot the second arrow.

"Well, let's take a look at it now, do these ropes look like two sails on a sail?"

"This, what the hell is this......" Arayoshi looked at the figure, as if he thought of something.

"Ahra, do you still not understand?" Conan laughed, "Sa, Mr. Doi, please take out the quilt containing the fake corpse, and then thread the two threads in the middle through the small loop of the rope tied to the quilt, and then slowly lower the quilt from the rope." ”

"Ah, this ......" The crowd looked at the quilt that had slipped off the rope and fell impartially next to the corpse.

"I see, so that the body can be carried here without leaving a trace. Absurdity nodded in realization.

"yes, if you put the rope through the belt, you can slide it down. Kuroda got it, too.

"But how can we recycle such a design?" Xulian objected, "If you want to recycle, it will leave traces due to the rope falling into the snow, but there are no similar traces at the scene." ”

"There's no need to worry," Conan had clearly thought about for a long time, "Mr. Doi, please tie all the remaining ropes to another arrow, and shoot the arrows into the distant woods while cutting the rope tied to the balcony." ”

"Yes, okay. Doi Tucker replied and fired an arrow into the air.

In this way, all the remaining doubts are solved. Conan looked at the rope that was being carried away by the arrow and sneered, "Well, so that the rope won't touch the snow around it, right?"

"Yes, it does ......"

"But, in that case, the arrows are still left in the tree. Xulian asked unrelentingly.

"That's why the killer burned the drawbridge and isolated us from the outside world, so that all the arrows could be recovered before the police came. Conan paused for a moment, then a confident smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "That's right, right? Miss Kikue Yamanaka?"
