Chapter 165: Magic Kills 2

Outside the bathroom, by the woods, there is a simple canopy with wood and a door to the bathroom.

"There doesn't seem to be any snow on the canopy......"

"Of course, it melts when the water is boiled."

Conan was obviously also interested in the alibi, and before Gao Cheng could speak, he asked curiously, pointing to the window on the canopy and saying, "Where is that window?" ”

"The window at the end of the corridor on the second floor......"

"So," Gao Cheng said, standing on the edge of the firewood room, "Miss Tanaka can still climb to the second floor through the canopy even if she is here. ”

"I'm not the only one who can climb," Takakue Tanaka looked at the others, "I went to the bathroom a few times to see how the water was going, and anyone could go up when I wasn't there, and besides, I was boiling water all the time when Hamano was in the third floor, and it took about eight minutes to catch and boil water, so I didn't have time to do anything else......"

"What if the water boiled in the first place?" Gao Cheng interrupted suddenly.

"What?" Takakue Tanaka was stunned.

"Stinky boy, are you suspicious of Miss Tanaka?" Uncle Maori pulled Gao Cheng with a black face, "Miss Tanaka is so beautiful, how can she be a murderer?" ”

“……”

The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched.

Uncle, you have made me more affirmed.

"Anyway, let's go back to the living room and wait for now," Gao Cheng said to everyone, and then whispered to Uncle Maori, "Uncle, that crossbow may have murderer's fingerprints on it, don't let anyone else touch it, and don't let them act alone, even if it's to go to ......the toilet."

Uncle Maori's face was even more stinky: "I know it without you saying it, but I think the murderer is an outsider at all, you are working in vain, you might as well think about how to get out of this ghost place." ”

"Got it."

Gao Cheng grinned, and asked Gray Yuan to spy on everyone.

How to leave him is not worried at all, the normal way down the mountain is indeed only on the side of the suspension bridge, but of course there is not only one road on the mountain, but it is too dangerous to walk at other nights.

The question now is the truth of this incident.

He basically confirmed the murderer, and the evidence is there, but there are still too many things that are not clear.

It would be irresponsible to draw conclusions without solving the rest of the puzzles.

"Joto," Conan followed Gao Cheng, "do you already know who the murderer is?" ”

"It's almost decided, but there are still a few tricks I don't understand, how on earth did she get the arrow into the house from the outside...... There is also the mystery of Hamano's death......"

Gao Cheng walked out of the broken window of the bathroom.

Encountering a case in this kind of deep mountain on a cold day, there is really no place to reason, but he is used to being a detective for so long, Conan's side is really powerful, Conan has not stopped solving cases when he is away, and the frequency of encounters is much more than him, a few days ago, it was Kamen Superman who killed people and vampire villa people.

Anyway, how did that guy Hattori get more than 1,000 cases? It's been too long, I really can't remember the situation of that guy, I just know that he doesn't seem to have a death physique......

"This is Miss Tanaka's room," Conan reminded, "and Miss Tanaka ran to the balcony as soon as she was attacked, and then the sound of glass breaking could be heard downstairs......"

Gao Cheng asked, "Do you think Miss Tanaka is the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?" Someone was shooting arrows outside, but they ran to the balcony, and finally rushed to the woods where there might be a murderer. ”

"It's strange," Conan thought, "you mean she did it on purpose?" ”

"She ran into the woods to lose that crossbow......"

Gao Cheng sighed hot air into his hand, paused, and turned around and walked into the bathroom from the firewood room, the broken glass slag remained the same, and there were arrows stuck in the bathroom mirror.

Now it is known that Takakue Tanaka used a certain technique, the key is how to shoot arrows from the upper floors into the bathroom, the window is facing the woods, and the position of the arrow should be in the woods......

took out a small notebook to check the clues of the entire case, and Gao Cheng refiltered all the clues in his mind.

When Hamano found the body, he noticed a slight strangulation mark on the handrail of the 302 balcony, which seemed to have been ground out by a thin thread such as a kite string, and the killer had apparently experimented with it beforehand.

Then there was the woods in the backyard near the firewood house, the trunk of the tree with a round hole, and according to Takakue Tanaka's suspicious behavior, an arrow may have been stuck in it.

Why are there arrows in the trees, and why is Tanaka in a hurry to pull them out......

Gao Cheng's fingers pressed his eyebrows, and with the convergence of a large number of clues that made people's heads swell, he gradually entered the thinking mode.

If you want to get Hamano's corpse in the middle of the snow in the backyard without leaving a trace, the glider is undoubtedly the most convenient, and it seems that there is a thief who likes to play with the gliding wing.

He didn't have a chance to pull the fat man's face to identify his identity, and the other party's magical disguise was not flawed at all, it was like a transformation, but he just had the feeling that the other party was Kidd.

And now that I think about it, the Japanese spelling of the name "Doi Tucker Tree" has been reorganized to become "Kidd the Strange Thief".

The fat man should be that guy That's right, the problem is that Kidd is unlikely to commit the crime, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many horses......

The virtual hologram of the entire villa's backyard took shape in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, including the balcony of room 302 of the villa, the corpse in the middle of the snow, and the tree trunk with holes diagonally opposite.

Combined with the marks on the balustrades of the balcony, a feasible solution was quickly simulated, and all that remained was whether it was feasible or not.

Because of the relationship between drawing a physical card, the impact on physical factors during simulation is also clearer, and there is no problem in theory......

Gao Cheng's eyes turned to the glass slag on the bathroom floor.

The hologram is switched, and all the pieces are returned to the window to reassemble and deduce, roughly simulating the situation when it is broken.

From the perspective of the thinking space, it is as if you have stepped back in time, and even the trajectory of the arrow on the mirror is clearly presented.

He didn't know what the effect of the arrow through the window was, but it was obvious from the live simulation that the glass was definitely not pierced by the arrow, but may have been broken by some heavy object such as a stone.

At the end of the minute, Gao Cheng woke up in a daze.

This time it seems to be a little different from before, and the simulation ability seems to be clearer because of a physical card......

"Hmm!" Before I could reminisce about the process, a strong feeling of dizziness welled up from the depths of my mind, and my eyes were black enough to support my body by Lake Toya.

Oops, I forgot to prepare chocolate this time......

"What's wrong with you, Joto?" Conan walked into the bathroom, looked at Gao Cheng, who was trembling, and said in surprise, "Your face is so ugly, and you still have a cold sweat...... Are you running low on blood sugar?! ”

Gao Cheng's fingers could barely hold Toya Lake, and he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, help me get a cup of sugar water." ”

"Wait a minute! I'll be right back! ”

Conan's face was solemn, and he didn't bother to say anything and ran out of the bathroom.

"Sister Xiaolan! Hurry up, Sucrose! Come on! ”

"Don't act like I'm dying." Gao Cheng smiled bitterly and slowly walked to the living room while holding on to the wall.

Every time I enter the one-minute mode in my daily case, my blood sugar will drop, and I am afraid that I will never get diabetes in my life.

"Give." The figure of Gray Plains appeared on the side of the aisle, and calmly handed Gao Cheng a piece of chocolate.

"Huh?"

"I just saw that you forgot it on the table, so I brought it with me."

Gray Yuan turned around, took two steps, and then turned to look at Gao Cheng.

"How? Solved the puzzle? ”

"Almost," Gao Cheng ate the chocolate, his face slightly better, "The murderer has been completely determined, but the method still needs to be verified." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Gray Yuan had a faint smile on his face, "Didn't you come all the way here to worry about someone?" Then there should be no problem. ”

"Me?" Gao Cheng pointed at himself, "What am I worried about?" ”

……

In the living room of the villa, after Sugale poured a glass of sugar water from the kitchen, he was called to the backyard woods with everyone by Gao Cheng.

Seeing the body of Riya Hamano still lying in the snow, everyone felt even colder.

"Mr. Hamano is so pitiful, he was left in the snow like this......" Sonoko said with his arms crossed.

"Hey, I say," Takakue Tanaka frowned and shouted at Gao Cheng, "what the hell are you calling us here?" Could it be that you still doubt us? ”

Gao Cheng stopped: "You'll know soon, now I want to invite everyone to watch a magic show." ”

"Magic? What are you talking about, are you still in the mood to perform magic tricks at this time......"

"Uncle," Gao Cheng ignored the crowd, and just said to Uncle Maori and Tucker Doi, "Now can you take the crossbow and go to Mr. Hamano's room on the third floor with Mr. Doi Tata?" ”

"Huh? I? ”

Uncle Maori was confused, but he still involuntarily returned to the villa according to Gao Cheng's instructions, and didn't react until he stood on the balcony on the third floor: "Damn, why should I listen to that kid?!" ”

"Uncle, are you ready?" Gao Cheng shouted below.

"Alright," Uncle Maori said, putting away his grumbling and replying depressedly, "what the hell do you want me to do?" ”

"Then you just do what Conan instructed!"

"Conan?"

"I've got everything ready as Brother Joto said, hehe." Conan walked to the balcony and had several long ropes and two arrows with perforations tied to the ends of the arrows.

"What is this?" The uncle was quite dissatisfied with Conan actually going to help Gao Cheng.

"Of course, it's a necessary tool for this magic trick," Gao Cheng continued to shout when he saw Conan getting ready, "Uncle, can I ask you to hand over the crossbow to Doi Tower now?" ”

"Me?" Doi Tower was stunned, and took the crossbow from his uncle's hand with a complicated expression.

After a while, two arrows were fired from the balcony onto the trunks of trees on both sides of the backyard, and the strings formed the shape of spinnakers on both sides above the snow, and then a bundle of quilts about the size of the corpse slid out of the balcony along the middle rope and slid straight down to the location of Hamano's corpse.

Without waiting for Conan's reminder, Doi Tower continued to take an arrow and scissors, tied the middle rope to the arrow, raised his hand and shot the arrow into the air in the distance while cutting the other ropes, and suddenly all the strings disappeared into the forest with the arrow, leaving only the bundle of quilts in the backyard, and the arrows that had been manipulated and footed on the trunks on both sides.

"This ......"

Araki Yoshinori and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and Takakue Tanaka couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What if it succeeds?" Takakue Tanaka gritted her teeth and said, "These arrows are still on the tree......"

"So you burned the drawbridge, not to trap us, but to recover the arrows before the police arrived," Takasei faced Takahisae Tanaka, "Am I right, Miss Tanaka?" ”

Tanaka Kikue's eyes shrank suddenly, and he smiled dryly: "Please, you also know that I was attacked by a murderer, right?" How could I possibly shoot an arrow at myself from outside the villa......"

"You can still do what you want," Gao Cheng interrupted, "because the arrow wasn't fired from outside the villa at all, and the crossbow was there at the time."

You've got it, right? ”

"W-What?"

"I asked Conan, they were all waiting at the door at that time, and you were the only one rummaging through the door with your back to the door, and I think you must have designed some mechanism on the balcony to break the glass, and at the same time you shot an arrow at the wall behind you, in that case, of course, everyone accidentally shot the arrow from the outside."

Gao Cheng paused and continued: "In addition, you ran to the balcony at that time, no one will suspect it in a hurry, as for the broken bathroom window downstairs, it should have used a similar mechanism, right?" At least that window was definitely not pierced by an arrow. ”

"But," wondered Yuanzi, "the bathroom mirror was also hit by an arrow!" ”

"That's Miss Tanaka who shot in the bathroom beforehand, because no one will go to the bathroom until the water is boiled, so I'm not afraid of being discovered in advance, Miss Tanaka has already planned everything, including being arranged to boil the water herself, including Mr. Hamano going back to the room to conceive the aftershow."

"What are you talking about?" Takakue Tanaka smiled, "I was arranged to boil water by chance, or was it chosen by the garden, right?" ”

The garden on the side nodded again and again, and looked at Gao Chengdao tightly: "Yes, Joto, it should be a coincidence that Miss Tanaka went to boil water, right?" Besides, it was Mr. Hamano's magic ......"

"What if Miss Tanaka is a dark pile?" Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "It was actually Miss Tanaka who planned that magic trick, and she made a mark on the back of the note paper in the living room in advance, because you were blindfolded in the garden, so you didn't know that she changed a pen that couldn't write halfway." ”

"Did it ...... at that time?"

"Yes, Hamano stood aside and didn't move from beginning to end, because the person who actually completed this magic was Miss Tanaka, and I think you told him about the assignment of work when you discussed it with Hamano, right? But the person in charge of the aftershow was not Doi Tower at all, so he felt strange at that time. ”

"How so?" Sonoko turned to Takakue Tanaka in disbelief, "Miss Tanaka......"

Gao Cheng looked at Tian Zhong, who was standing silently in the snow: "When you left the living room and went to the firewood room, the water was actually boiled, and you immediately climbed to the second floor and sneaked into 302 to wait for Hamano to kill him again...... Miss Tanaka, after dawn tomorrow, come down the mountain with us to find the police and turn yourself in. ”

"What about the evidence?" Takahisae Tanaka's body trembled, clenched his fingers and said, "No matter what, there must be evidence, right?" ”

Gao Cheng silently looked at Takakue Tanaka for a while, and shook his head: "Miss Tanaka, it's useless, if you really follow your plan, when the police come over, you can indeed clean up all the evidence, but the reality is no if, this is just a bloody failure magic trick after all, right, Mr. Doi Ta?" ”

Gao Cheng turned around and looked up at the 302 balcony on the third floor.

"When did you find out?" On the balcony, Kidd had undisguised, his white cloak fluttering in the cold wind, and Uncle Maori's eyes widened in confusion as Conan secretly opened his anesthetic watch.

"Strange, strange thief Kidd?" Xiaolan pulled the garden in a daze, "Garden, Doi Tower is your Prince Charming!" ”

"Uh-huh." Yuan stood dumbfounded, looking at Kidd and then at Gao Cheng.

"The hiragana recombination of the name 'Doi Tucker Tree' is 'Kidd the Strange Thief', just think about it," Gao Cheng looked directly at Kidd in a white dress, "However, I didn't expect the famous Kidd the Strange Thief to come here to attend a gathering of magic lovers." ”

"You're not the same detective, you don't know much about magic," Kidd chuckled, "and I'm here because it's strange how the deceived, deceitful boy, can continue to correspond." ”
