Squatting in front of the corpse, Ritsu Sasashima begins to examine the cause of death of the victim.

He took out a mask and handed it to Kudo Shinichi, who had been rubbing his nose, the smell of the corpse was still quite unpleasant, I am afraid that this teenager was also the first time to come into contact with a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

"Put it on."

"Thank you."

Ritsu Sasashima crouched behind the deceased and began to observe what the deceased was wearing. The top was a lemon yellow Pikachu T-shirt, and there were two things that made him feel incongruous.

The first point is that the deceased's clothes obviously did not match the deceased's figure, at least two sizes larger. The second point is that there is a small amount of blood on the back, but the clothes are intact, which is counterintuitive.

He used the small scissors he brought from the forensic class to cut a little cloth on the victim's back, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the shocking wound.

"Kudo, check the position of your chest for wounds."

"Okay."

Since it was a bit difficult for the deceased to maintain a stiff state and forcibly break it open, Kudo Shinichi leaned down as much as possible, and after cutting the fabric, he saw a penetrating gunshot wound in his chest, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's still a gunshot wound." ”

"How many?"

"Two shots."

That's right.

He knows a lot about firearms, and Ritsu Sasashima conceives in his mind the state of the murderer when he committed the crime, and the height of the murderer can be inferred from the position of the wounds on both sides.

"The height of the murderer was between 175 centimeters and 180 centimeters." Ritsu Sasashima stood up and checked the trunk, but there were no bullet holes or traces of struggle except for bloodstains, and he frowned: "It seems that this is not the scene of the first crime, the murderer just dumped the victim's body in the trunk of the car... It seems that most of the owners of the cars belonged to the victims. ”

"It's risky to commit a crime in a residential area, let alone a shot, and I think it's likely that the location of the crime is a more remote suburb." Kudo Shinichi checked the other marks on the corpse, and he couldn't help but say, "Police, the victim has a large number of struggle wounds on her arms, and it seems that she has made a violent resistance." ”

If she had resisted violently, she would have had the murderer's human tissue in her fingernails!

Ritsu Sasashima walked quickly to Kudo's side and squatted down, he looked at the fingernails of the victim Yoshiko Yoshitaka, but found that all the nails of the ten fingers of his hand had been removed, which can be said to be quite cruel, but he could tell that this was not a pre-mortem injury, but a postmortem injury.

The murderer made such a move, obviously to hide his own human tissue that may remain in the cracks of his fingernails, but I really didn't expect the anti-reconnaissance ability to be quite good. Ritsu Sasashima stared at the victim who was shaved bald, presumably because of the shaved hair, and he was really a cunning and cautious murderer.

Kudo Shinichi didn't expect the murderer to be so cautious, and it seemed that it would be difficult to successfully arrest the murderer, so he scratched his ear and was in a predicament.

During the period of time he grew up, the only case he solved completely on his own was the Valentine's Day murder a few months ago. And it was because I had witnessed some small details at the scene that I was successfully detected, otherwise... Maybe it's really not as fast as the Onizawa Police Department in front of you.

He has relatively little experience in handling cases, and remembering the case that he successfully solved by relying on his father's prompts when he was in junior high school, Kudo Shinichi was a little hesitant to call his father to come up with an idea.

And at this moment, the phone sounds. Ritsu Sasashima looked down and found that it was a call from Wataru Takagi, and it seemed that the investigation had made a new discovery.

"Hey, this is Onizawa."

"Police Department! I have checked the surveillance video of the victim's workplace, and the deceased left the factory at 22 o'clock last night, so she should have been killed after 22 o'clock! ”

Hearing Wataru Takagi's report, Ritsu Sasashima already has an answer in his heart, it seems that his reasoning on the time of death is no problem, and then he should see if there are any new gains in Hayasaka.

"Okay, come back."

"Yes!"

Just after hanging up, I heard the sound of the heel of my shoe hitting the ground.

"Police Department! I have questioned all the occupants of this apartment and found two suspects. Yuna Hayasaka hurriedly ran to Takashi Onizawa and reported with a slight gasp.

Two suspects? Ritsu Sasashima asked with interest, "Tell me about it." ”

"The first suspect is named Yuki Eguchi, who lives in room 301, is 30 years old, and is a woman who lives alone and works in a restaurant. She looked flustered as she offered her alibi, apparently hiding something. ”

Yuna Hayasaka flipped the page and continued to report: "The second suspect is Taito Fukunaga, a man who lives alone in room 401, 25 years old this year and works in a fishing tackle shop, and he didn't know that there was a crime downstairs when he slept in the house before, and his expression was obviously unnatural after learning that I was a police officer, and he couldn't provide an alibi, as if he wanted me to leave quickly." ”

Kudo Shinichi snatched what Kitazawa wanted to say and took the lead in asking, "What are the heights of these two suspects?" ”

"Yuki Eguchi is taller than me, it should be between 173 cm and 176 cm." Yuna Hayasaka stepped forward to compare the height of herself and Onizawa, and said slowly, "Fukunaga Taidou should be around 180 centimeters." ”

Hearing that the heights of the two suspects were in line with his reasoning, Ritsu Sasashima pushed his glasses and smiled: "It looks like I have to meet these two people, hey, detective boy, do you want to go up with me to meet the suspects for a while?" ”

"Of course!"

Yuna Hayasaka was stunned for a moment and wondered, "What about me?" ”

Ritsu Sasashima snorted, motioned to Hayasaka to look at the crowd of onlookers standing outside the warning line, and instructed, "You can help evacuate the onlookers and protect the scene from being destroyed." ”

“……”

Yuna Hayasaka looked at the backs of the two of them going upstairs, her eyes were full of resentment, and she left the errands to herself, obviously it was me who found the suspect, right? It's really infuriating.

She walked towards the cordon with a cold face and scolded: "Are you still watching here because you want the murderer to remember your face and go back to take revenge one by one?" Leave here quickly, and don't hinder the police in handling the case! ”

The two people who walked to the third floor could hear Hayasaka's voice, and Kudo Shinichi was curious: "I didn't expect the policewoman to be quite deterrent, have you ever been beaten as her boss?" ”

What kind of strange logic is this? Ritsu Sasashima thought of the Mao Lilan with good hand muscle lines, he had changed a lot of Jeet Kune Do habits in the past year, and he worked hard to strengthen his karate training, so he could naturally see that she was also a fellow practitioner.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and teased: "You were beaten by your little girlfriend? ”

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help blushing when he heard this title, and he stammered, "She's not my girlfriend, okay... It's just a childhood sweetheart who has a very good relationship, so I don't like her! ”

also said that he didn't like it, and the corners of his mouth rose the first time he heard his words. Young people, it's impossible to hide if you like someone.

"Oh, future girlfriend, huh?"

Sashima Ritsu also likes to ridicule these young boys and girls who are still underage and have young youth, as if he was in junior high school at the time, and he didn't have such a sweet and sour experience, so he was a little envious and yearning.

"It's verbose, Mr. Police Department is still bothering you to handle the case seriously, okay? Don't always focus on such inconsequential things, I ring the doorbell? Kudo Shinichi was a little overwhelmed, and he panicked.

"Oh, you press it."

Kudo Shinichi glared at the half-moon eye, what's the matter with this person? How did you manage to laugh and ridicule people one second, and restrain your smile and show a serious expression the next second? The Changeling Monsters in Pokémon don't have such changes.

He held out his index finger to ring the doorbell, and soon a woman's angry response was heard inside.

"It's coming!"
