Chapter 584: East and West High School Student Detective and Chengto

"What else?" Hattori asked with interest.

"Uh, I'll take a look," Twilight pulled out a bundle of photos from her bosom, "these four bricks fell around the president's corpse......"

"There are a lot of bricks next to the corpse." Hattori looked at the blocks piled up next to the corpse traces, each of which had words or patterns on each face.

"But only these four bricks have the president's fingerprints and ink on them," Twilight said, placing the photo on the table, "if you put the ink-stained noodles together......

"Toys?"

The uncle looked at the characters on the few blocks in the photo in surprise.

"But it's also possible that the rice cake shop ......"

"And then there's this," Twilight then pulled out a top-down photo of the scene, "This is the picture of when the body was found, when these four bricks were mixed with other blocks and placed in front of the body. ”

Gao Cheng followed and looked.

A man lying on the ground with a bloody head on his head, his hands and feet were tied, and his hands were exactly behind his back.

Judging from the photographs, the scene was fairly intact, with the inkwell poured on the table, the ink that flowed to the ground, the tied corpses, and the blocks that were piled up in front of the corpses......

"The ink you got on the table is the one that you tipped over on the table, right?" Uncle Maori said up, "The question is who put the ink on the block, although it has the president's fingerprints on it, but it may also be that the prisoner deliberately put the dead president on ......"

Conan interjected and asked, "Are these really the only four bricks with fingerprints on them?" ”

"No," Twilight shook her head, "The other bricks that fell on the ground also had fingerprints, but only these four had the most fingerprints, and they were all over the place, not just the six sides, but even the places where the carved words were recessed. ”

Hattori smiled: "In other words, these four building blocks are the death message left by the president before he was killed, police officer, are the four building blocks still there?" ”

"Sent to the Appraisal Division......"

"Wait a minute," said Uncle Maori, who had almost completely stolen the limelight, indignantly, "why are you so sure of death?" ”

"It's very simple, the president's hands are tied behind the back, so you can't watch the selection of building blocks with your own eyes, and the reason why all six faces are full of fingerprints is because he judges by groping the marks of the text with his fingers, and determines where to get ink on the surface......

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng and continued: "However, when I found these four pieces in a stack of blocks, the other blocks did not have too many fingerprints, this is because this kind of building block engraves the kana of the same consonant on one block, and you only need to touch it a little to know if it is right......

"As for whether it was left by the murderer...... Fingerprints mainly rely on the sweat and grease on the fingers to leave traces, and they will not be secreted again after death, so even if the dead person is allowed to hold the building block, only the earliest one or two fingerprints can be stained, and it is impossible to get them everywhere like this......

"In addition, there are traces of rope stained with ink everywhere on the floor, which can also be proven, I am afraid that the president secretly selected these four blocks from behind, and then put them back in the pile after the selected side was stained with ink, because I didn't know when I would be killed, so I was so scared that my hands were sweating......"

Hattori looked at the building block photo in thought.

"In other words, the president is in a hurry to leave a message before the prisoner finds out, and maybe he will get the capitalization wrong, this is the toy company, does the president really want to leave the word 'toy'?"

"It's amazing......"

Xiaolan looked at Hattori analysis in a daze.

"I've just arrived here, and I already know so much......

"Yes, yes," said Heye happily, "It's a flat time!" ”

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Gao Cheng's eyelids twitched: "Who am I here to help?" ”

"This ......" He Ye smiled embarrassedly with a red face, and cheered up again, "Yes, we can't be led away by Pingji, this is a reasoning competition, if you lose, you will have to go to Koshien......"

"Senior Chengto," Xiaolan looked at Gao Cheng expectantly, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

"Not yet."

Gao Cheng quietly watched the scene of the murder.

Of course, he didn't have a little idea, after understanding the situation, the incident of the Rice Flower Art Museum a long time ago had been wandering in his mind, and this time the situation seemed to be related to some extent, but he didn't want to expect too much from Ye Ji before finding the truth.

Hattori plus Conan, under normal circumstances, he really can't compare......

"Speaking of toys," Twilight said with a headache, "we thought that these four bricks might be clues to the death message, so we searched the entire office carefully, but we didn't find any suspicious toys......"

"What about anything else suspicious?"

"The only thing found in this office is the golf club used by the murderer, and the high-end fur coat that is believed to be the blood stained on the president worn by the criminal when he committed the crime......"

Twilight asks the officer to bring two pieces of evidence wrapped in a transparent bag.

"However, the golf club and coat belonged to the president himself, and it is said that he put them in the room himself, and there was no culprit to be found based on these two things......

"What I don't understand is why the prisoner wears this coat, the president's room has not been turned upside down......"

"Hmph," Uncle Maori said disapprehantly, "I must have sneaked in here while the president was out, and after seeing this high-end fur coat, I wanted to try to see if it was suitable for me, and then I happened to be discovered by the president who came back, and the prisoner tied up the president and forced him to ask for the password, and then started to kill, and of course this coat was stained with the president's blood, of course, I couldn't wear it anymore, so I took it off and fled......"

Twilight looked at the uncle who was full of words, and his face became suspicious, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

"Wait a minute," Hattori interrupted the uncle, "The blood stains on this coat, only the part of the left shoulder are blurred, as if it has been rubbed by something......

"Well," Twilight sighed, "it's a mystery too, and there's no match for the blood stain on the coat anywhere in the office." ”

"Hey, what's this," the uncle snorted, "maybe my hand touched it when I took off my coat, didn't I leave no gloves at the scene?" ”

"Speaking of blood......"

Conan interjected again while lying on the bloodstain on the corpse's head: "The bloodstain here is also very strange, you can't see it if you don't look closely, but this splash of blood has a little cut off, it seems that something was once released here......"

"Indeed," Hattori crouched to the side curiously, "but what the hell is in this place?" TV ...... in front."

"TV?"

Conan and Hattori looked at the TV not far away at the same time, and hurriedly got up to rummage for the remote control.

"Hey," Twilight looked sweaty as Hattori rummaged through the table, "don't touch it, this table is still as hungry as it was at the time of the crime!" ”

"Just looking for the remote control...... Pregnant! ”

Hattori flipped through the paper, took out the TV remote control with a twinkle in his eyes, and turned on the TV in the twilight's confused gaze.

"The TV is an external input state, which means that the camera may have been placed here ......"

"The camera," Twilight said, "is in the president's room." ”

"Then ask the officer from the Identification Section to check for any blood on it, Officer Twilight." Hattori didn't know when he had straightened his hat, and his expression became more and more excited.

"Uh-oh."

Twilight ordered the police officer in a daze, and looked at the quiet Gao Cheng, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel.

Maori still analyzed a few words, but after Gao Cheng came, he was like a bystander.

"Brother Chenghu, why are you dumbfounded?" Twilight was a little anxious, "Why can't you lose to outsiders?" ”

"Uh......"

Gao Cheng was slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't explain anything.

His investigation methods are somewhat different from those of Hattori and Conan, and there is no need to be competitive, the important thing is to collect clues as much as possible for deductive argumentation.

In fact, he is not without a little gain.

Compared with Conan, his observation is not bad at all, and in the end, he is a person who has watched thousands of episodes of "Conan", even if he can't remember the case, he is still more sensitive to details than others, which is his advantage.

Conan was right about the two of them, but he thought he had overlooked many details.

There are several doubts.

The first is the neatly looking desk, and if there had been a fight, it would not have been possible for only the inkwell to tip over.

And the position of the ink, the position of the corpse, and the location of the blocks...... It seems that it is too much of a coincidence, and the murderer would make it so simple for the victim to leave a death message.

It's even stranger if there is a camera on the side.

In the original Rice Flower Art Museum incident, Director Ochiai was wearing armor and deliberately let the victim leave a false death message in the surveillance.

One more point......

Gao Cheng looked at the wall calendar hanging on the wall next to the corpse.

There are still clues to be gathered.

Xiao Ai looked up at Gao Cheng.

As always, when investigating crimes, he is still so serious, and he doesn't smile like others when solving puzzles, but he always gives people a sense of stability, and it seems that he has gained a lot.

Finding He Ye and Xiaolan, who were distressed and contemplating the message of death, Xiao Wai casually comforted: "Don't worry, if he is willing to help people, he will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Huh?"

"But," He Ye followed and looked at Gao Cheng, his face was bitter, "I heard Pingji say that the best thing in the city is to solve the mystery with a code, right?" Heiji will definitely unlock the ...... of the death message first"

"I just feel that way." Xiao Ai looked at Conan and Hattori on the other side, who were also investigating.

It's boring enough to use the results of a reasoning game to decide where to go......
