Chapter 378: The Meaning of "□ ○×△"
Chiba hurried over with people, and naturally made a discovery.
In the bathroom on the fifth floor, they found gloves, coats, and hats worn by the suspected killer.
It's just that the 5th floor is relatively remote, and few people will go there, and no one can see the suspect who is suspected of being a prisoner when these things are discarded, and of course the robbed documents are not found.
In addition, Chiba and others have also gained from investigating the suspects on the list provided by the next life offender.
Because the company is upstairs, the investigation went very smoothly.
According to inquiries, at the moment of Nakajo's killing, most of the employees were resting in the company or eating out alone, and 27 of them had clear alibis.
After excluding these 27 people, the number of suspects from 58 was further narrowed down to 31.
As for the document in Nakajo Katsuzawa's hand that was snatched by the murderer, at this moment, the criminals are also conducting a carpet search in the offensive from the eighth to eleventh floors.
"Tang Zejun! The bloodstained text on the pedal has been found!! ”
Just as Tang Ze checked his list, Takagi's shout on the side sounded directly, attracting everyone's attention.
When Tang Zhe, Conan and the others walked quickly to the tread of the escalator, they saw the "□" shape on the pedal that exuded fluorescent blue.
"It looks like the kanji word for "mouth", but if you put it together with the first three shapes like "○×△", it should be more likely to be square...", Takagi guessed as he looked at the shape on the pedal.
After comparing with the traces on the deceased's file bag, the bloodstained place coincides with the shape of the "□" on the pedal, which can be said to be the complete "death message" left by the deceased.
「□○×△」!
This is the message that the deceased Nakajo Katsuzawa desperately left behind.
It's just that Tang Ze keenly noticed that the "□" symbol on the escalator pedal was much larger than the other three.
"You say, is this message going to put these symbols together?"
Yuanzi, who likes to participate in reasoning, quickly expressed her opinion, pointing to the list above and saying, "You see, when '□' and '×' are combined, the word 'Tian' becomes one.
In this way, those with the word "Tian" are very suspicious. ”
“oh! Makes sense! Judy nodded and said, "But if you look at the shape, this Mr. Asai's "well" character is also formed by overlapping two cross shapes. ”
But obviously, the garden's speculation is unreliable, and this is also a clue eliminator comparable to Mori Kogoro.
But as long as the other party thinks of reasoning, it is basically possible to rule out this speculative route first.
However, this time the atomic reasoning was not without a little usefulness, looking at the names on the list, Tang Ze was thoughtful.
Next to him, Conan touched the same pensive look, and his brain began to work wildly.
This time the conditions have once again reached the point of complete fairness, whoever can solve the code first will be able to find the murderer first!!
For Conan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win over Karasawa, and he must seize it!!
"Hey~two~" Just as the two of them were pondering, Judy on the side did take the initiative to lean over, "Do you think of the meaning of "□○×△"? ”
"Not at all." His musings were interrupted, and Conan looked helplessly at Teacher Judy.
"Maybe it's really like Sonoko and Maori-san said, those symbols represent something..."
Judy said this with a smile and gave an example: "For example, in the Ministry of Defense of Meijian, don't ordinary people become "Pentagon", because the floor where it is located is a pentagonal building, so it is called "Pentagon"! ”
Looking at the two who didn't reply, Judy smiled brightly and continued, "In Meijian, there are countless examples of a special object that uses a certain shape.
For example, the White House of the president's official residence is white as a whole... There is also the Oval Office (Ovaloffice), which is the office of the president... And the most important of them all... FBI...”
Speaking of this, Judy showed a meaningful smile and looked at the two, "This refers to the FBI, how do you know if there are some good references for the two of you?" ”
"I don't know if it's a reference or not, but you're almost an explicit reminder, it's too conspicuous." Tang Ze on the side was smiling constantly on the surface, but he was complaining frantically in his heart.
Obviously, Judy has already set her sights on Conan, and has even begun to test the other party with some information of her own.
However, Judy is right, and the symbols "□ ○×△" may represent something.
Wait a minute... Four symbols?
Tang Ze suddenly thought that the names of many people on the list were also four words.
Although this is very common for neon people, Tang Ze is from a flower grower, and he is still more accustomed to three-character names, so he always cares a little about names with more than three words.
Could it be that the four symbols "□○×△" refer to people's names!?
Thinking of this, Tang Ze's brain was like a tide, and he couldn't stop running wildly.
If you think about it from another perspective, if you are dying, it is obvious that the deceased can't think about how complicated the information is, it must be the most simple and clear, and can directly point to the prisoner... Like the name...
And the deceased must not have had much time before he died, so he must have written the prisoner's name in a hurry...
Thinking of this, Tang Ze couldn't help but look at the four-word name on the list in his hand again.
Scanning the list in his hand, with the help of strong memories and rich painting experience, he quickly abstracted the four symbols of "□ ○×△" and completely overlapped with the name of one of the people on the list.
"Kuniyoshi Bunta! This guy is a prisoner!! Tang Ze said in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
Hearing Tang Ze suddenly identify the prisoner, everyone was at a loss, and Yuan Zi was even more puzzled: "Found the prisoner?" But why him? ”
"It's very simple, you just put the top half of the name on it, and "○×△" will appear?"
"But brother-in-law... Why doesn't this word "too" look like it? Yuan Zi looked at the man on the list and hesitated.
"After all, this is the printer's standard word, if it's handwritten, the last point is a little longer, isn't it "○×△"?"
"But why do you want to cover the upper part?" said Yuan Zihu suspiciously, "Is there any basis?" ”
"Don't forget, there are documents in the portfolio, and if the deceased writes the top half of his name on the exposed information, and then the documents are taken, this will naturally happen."
After Tang Ze finished speaking, he pointed to the word "□" on the file bag, "As for this, because the deceased was in critical condition at that time, it may not be impossible to write the word "country" as "mouth".
Some people's shorthand will be so brief, and combined with the last three words, it is easy to lock down the real murderer. ”
“oh! Si Guoyi!! Don Ze criminal you are like Sherlock Holmes! Judy said in a mouthful of plastic neon words and praised: "It deserves to be a well-known criminal of neon!" ”
"You've won a prize."
In response to Judy's compliment, Tang Ze smiled politely, and immediately said a faux pas, and then gathered people to rush towards the company on the eighth floor.
