Vacant lot at the rear of the apartment building.

A woman's body fell to the ground, surrounded by weeds growing in the backyard of the apartment building, and the dense weeds were scattered with drink bottles, face plates, toilet paper balls and other items thrown by other tenants in the backyard.

Everyone in the apartment building seems to be using the small vacant lot behind them as a garbage dump.

"Click, click."

The officers of the forensic division were carefully filming with their cameras at the scene, and the camera lights made a clicking sound, and other police officers guarded the scene.

The other tenants in the building have been called out by the police, and even the shops along the street are curious to look at the scene.

Behind the backyard is a sloping levee, and behind the embankment is the Timatsu River, which runs through the town of Yoneka, because the Timatsu River is not a raging river that often floods, and the embankment is just a show, and the height is not high, so it can be easily climbed.

Speaking of which, this 'Ti Wutsu' Chuan is actually the author of "Detective Conan" pinched his Japanese transliteration of the 'Thames' River in London, England.

"I was brutally killed first, and then the body was dumped." Officer Twilight briefly analyzes the female corpse on the ground.

I saw the dead woman fall to the ground on her back, the blood on her chest had dried up, and the clothes she was wearing were also stained red with blood.

It's not just the blood on the chest, but also the wounds on the throat and stomach of the other party, whether the perpetrator is a killer with a knife and a lethal precision killer is not known for the time being, but depending on the situation, he has an extraordinary enmity with the deceased, otherwise he would not be so ferocious.

As for the murder weapon that caused the death, it seems that it has been disposed of.

"The other party fell from the sixth floor of his house, right, Miss Sekiguchi?" Officer Twilight looked to a short-haired woman with glasses to the side.

The other party looked very uneasy, as the first person to discover the horror scene, it was inevitable that he was uneasy, after all, not everyone was the third fool of Didan Elementary School, who had been dealing with corpses since childhood: "That's right......"

The short-haired Miss Sekiguchi nodded: "I was at home at the time, to be precise, I just looked out the window, and then I happened to see her...... Miss Takemura fell from the upper floor......"

Miss Sekiguchi was the discoverer and the caller, and lived on the fourth floor of the apartment, while the deceased, Takemura, was two floors above her residence.

Shinichi Kudo touched his chin and asked, "Do you know the victim?" ”

"I know, after all, it's a neighbor in the same building, and I can usually meet, but I don't know her very well, but I went to her house to give a small gift after renting it......"

Whether tenants or residents, newcomers in Japan often bring small gifts to visit their neighbors in the same unit after moving into an apartment, but in recent years, this concept of etiquette has become less and less.

"When did you see the deceased fall from the building? Didn't you scream at the time? ”

"I was so frightened that I fell to the ground and screamed...... I forgot to scream......" Miss Sekiguchi's eyes were full of fear, most people are often deprived of control of their bodies by fear when they see a terrifying scene, not to mention that they are too scared to scream, and it is common for them to faint to death.

"If you call the police, it was probably ten minutes ago? After sitting on the ground for a while, I quickly ran down the stairs to take a look at the scene...... Then the police were called. ”

The stairs of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors are not connected with the stairs of the first and second floors of the merchants, and the stairs of the residents are fire escape stairs connected to the outside of the building, and there are on both sides of the apartment.

Although the staircase outside the apartment does not look beautiful from the outside, it is necessary to have an escape ladder in consideration of disasters such as earthquakes that frequently occur in Tokyo.

"In other words, call the police within minutes of the body falling from the building......"

"Hmmm......"

"Brother Mito, did you find anything?"

Officer Twilight looked at Mito Tsuki to the side.

“……”

Mito Yue looked at the murder scene speechlessly, and shook his head: "There are still too few clues, and I haven't found anything, so let's see what everyone in the forensics class says." ”

He didn't want to get involved in the troubled waters, but who knew that Officer Twilight saw him not long after he walked into the café and pulled himself into the murder like an enthusiastic pimp.

With Officer Twilight's thoughts, with Brother Kudo and himself, Brother Mito, the hope of solving the case quickly is even greater.

By the way, the editor of Nabe Shion also stayed.

But the editor was not impatient or anxious, on the contrary, he was quite interested, and seemed very happy that he could participate in solving the case.

Sure enough, there are few normal people in the Kexue world, and they are all the type who can't walk when they see a homicide.

"Okay, let's go to the deceased's house later, maybe there will be clues." Officer Twilight frowned and looked upstairs at the apartment, the walls of which were already mottled, and it should have been twenty or thirty years old.

Several police officers from Wataru Takagi should have taken the landlord Emiko Omiya to open the door of the deceased's house on the sixth floor, but why hasn't it been opened yet.

He was thinking about this matter, but saw that Takagi Wataru had already stepped down: "Officer Dusk, we can't open the door of the deceased's house. ”

"What? What's going on. ”

"Come and take a look."

Kudo Shinichi Mori Ranme Twilight Officer went up to the sixth floor together, and looked around uncomfortably, and Mito Moon had to go upstairs with everyone.

The residence of the deceased on the sixth floor was now crowded with many people, all of whom were police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, and the landlord Omiya Yanko, who was holding the spare key, shook her head with a wrinkled brow and gave up her position to Officer Twilight.

"Bang bang."

Hold the doorknob and pull back, but the door chain inside the door rattles, and the door can only open a few centimeters of gap.

"My spare key was able to open the first security lock on the door, but it was locked inside." Omiya Yanko looked inside with some horror, "Could it be that there is someone inside?!" ”

The body of the victim, Miss Takemura, was still downstairs, apparently having fallen from the sixth floor after being killed, and since the door of the room was locked from the inside, it was perhaps...... The murderer is still in the house!

Murderer.

Inside the house.

Looking through the gap opened by the chains, looking inside the door, the shadows of the furniture and electrical appliances in the house were reflected on the wall skin in the dark evening sky, as if poking at ghosts, as if there were murderers lurking in these shadows.

The landlord, Omiya Yanko, grabbed the key with her hand, looking nervous, and the superb Maolilan was also a little creepy.

Several police officers looked at each other, and their muscles tensed.

"Come out!"

"Hurry up and get out of the people inside!"

Officer Twilight stepped back and shouted into the room.

But the room was still empty and no one responded, and Officer Twilight said to Wataru Takagi and the others beside him, "You go find tools to open the chains, be careful, beware of the murderer inside." ”

"Yes!"
