Chapter 14: Reversal of Thinking
Yagi, who walked down the steps one by one, took a step towards Mordred's side, and the shoulders of the two collided together, Yagi used the cover of their bodies to make a gesture to her, and Mordred licked her tongue to show that she understood.
When he went downstairs to the last step, Yagi Yukisai obviously stretched out his feet forward, and his body was also leaning forward, but the whole person flew backwards at super high speed!
It's like Michael Jackson's famous dance technique [Space Step]!
It's a skill he's honed for friendship, but he's never had a chance to use it. Because no one is looking for him to fellowship at all......
Using this technique, Yagi instantly moved backwards, and Mordred made a sharp turn, and the two of them lunged behind them almost simultaneously.
"Huh?!"
The woman's voice shrieked.
There was the sound of a determined step moving beside him, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Mordred.
The blow came quickly and accurately, and the target was Mordred's throat, one of the softest and most fragile tissues in the human body, and Yagi and Mordred outflanked each other one after the other.
Who is coming......
Queen Mary and knight Dion.
How are they?
When Yagi walked down the stairs, he found that someone was chasing him, and he suspected that it was the real murderer, so he gestured to Mordred, asking her to cooperate with him in the assault, but he didn't expect it to be the two of them?
Yagi absolutely did not believe that Queen Mary would kill. Dion aside, but Queen Mary is really ......
"Why are you here?"
Yagi asked.
"I ...... I think...... I want to get Joan of Arc back to my room. You can't just let her lie here. ”
Queen Mary bowed her head as if she had done something wrong.
"It's pitiful to let her lie on the ground. Joan of Arc will be sore when she wakes up. Let's let her lie in bed. ”
Yagi was speechless for a while.
Yagi, who knows her kind nature very well, doesn't even know what to say to soothe her emotions.
Because......
She did it without a problem.
Yes, in general, in homicide cases, it is also allowed to take away the body - otherwise how can the autopsy be performed, right?
That's why the police will use colored tape to glue the shape of the other party on the floor, and then take pictures to use as evidence.
No one really let the corpse lie on the ground.
This time it was all because none of you had the knowledge of a modern police officer. I don't know what to do in the face of this kind of thing.
For example, that Sherlock Holmes, who said that he could not destroy the scene, refused Queen Mary's request to take her away.
So, Dieng couldn't bear it, so he brought her over, thinking about at least one last look at her. As a result, on the way, he was persuaded by Queen Mary to take the body away.
“…… I think you're doing the right thing. ”
Yagi Yukisai rolled his eyes and nodded.
Why would he agree? When this person's eyes rolled, he was always thinking about the ghost idea: the murderer this time, no matter who it was, must be secretly observing this matter.
If the corpse suddenly disappears, it should make him show his flaws? At least, there is this possibility.
Yagi Yukisai is not a detective, not a policeman, and his works related to reasoning are only reversed referees except for Detective Conan.
Danganronpa? Anyway, Yagi didn't play this game for reasoning.
Lacking expertise, he would have to use more cunning than a normal anomaly in order to solve the incident.
It doesn't matter if the one named Sherlock Holmes is really Sherlock Holmes, or if Watson borrowed the name of Sherlock Holmes.
Anyway, Yagi didn't think that fat man could count on it.
But...... Before the two of them could carry the body, Yagi needed to investigate one last time, Yagi smiled and put his hand on Mordred's shoulder, writing on his arm with his fingers, Mordred understood, took a step sideways, and chatted with the two. Yukisai Yagi took advantage of the attention of the two to be attracted to her and went to the bath to conduct the final autopsy.
Joan of Arc lay quietly on the floor, covered with a white cloth, and her face was very peaceful, and she didn't see any pain.
Yagi struggled to remember his knowledge and cracked Joan of Arc's mouth.
(There is no bitter almond taste in the mouth, so I can conclude that it is not poisoning.) )
This is a classic scene in Detective Conan, where a person who dies after taking cyanide will have a bitter almond taste in his mouth. Of course, the bitter almond flavor is not peculiar to poison, and Yagi didn't notice this and made a hasty judgment.
He pinched Joan of Arc's shoulders and arms, fingers, and tried to bend her body joints again.
(It's still soft, no post-mortem stiffness.) )
"It's rude."
Yagi turned his head sideways and pressed his ear to Joan of Arc's chest...... The sound of a heartbeat cannot be heard. He sniffed again, but didn't breathe.
No matter how she looked at it, she was dead.
Yagi helped her sit up and checked her body.
According to the description of the cartoon, there will always be some evidence on the body of the deceased that points to the murderer.
Regardless of the fabric on the murderer's body, it could be a note or something.
However, nothing.
At least, Yagi didn't see anything.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Yagi Yukisai knew that it was almost there, and reached out and touched the back of Joan of Arc's head one last time, and in the soft sand-gold hair, Yagi pulled out a hand that was dyed dark red.
(The cause of death was...... Blunt force blows? )
Yagi Yukisai thought silently.
I always feel that it is difficult to let go......
Forget it, the information that can be found for the time being, that's it.
Yukisai Yagi sighed, looking at Joan of Arc's serene face, as if she was praying for peace to the gods for herself, her expression was gentle and serene.
…… ...... to God Prayer?
Yagi Yukisai's mind flashed with inspiration, but he couldn't think of how to use it, but he vaguely felt that he might have grasped the point!
"Ahh
Suddenly, another shrill shout rang out at the door. Yagi Yukisai was stunned and hurriedly rushed out.
"What's wrong! Mordred! What happened?! ”
Yagi rushed out, and in between, the knight Dion drew his sword and took Queen Mary with one hand to protect her behind him, and Queen Mary fell to her knees with Mordred's head in her arms.
She kept a smug expression of boasting, her eyes wide, and she lay on the ground...... Quiet, like ...... A corpse.
Is there another case?!
From the top of the stairs, Yagi faintly saw a little thunder shining......
"I won't let you escape!"
The magic burst out from under his feet, crushing the earth in one step, and with the super speed of crossing the thunder, Yagi's whole person chased towards the strange thunder light.
This apartment is a book of the Tao. There is no fork in the road. In other words, as long as he keeps walking, then there is only one way to escape to the roof.
By the way, because there was a murder case, Tamamo temporarily blocked the door to the outside.
Therefore, now the entire apartment building is a confined space, and no one can escape!
Unless...... Jump out of the window.
However, as long as he jumps out of the window, Yagi will be able to determine the other party's location.
"You give it to me! Hold it! ”
