Outside the Reverse Cross Bar.

Tsukimi Satomi Yunchuan followed Officer Twilight to the police car, and Shinichi Kudo, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around.

"Yun Chuan, is there anything special about the little girl you just talked about?"

He walked backwards with his back to the police car, while staring at Yun Chuan thoughtfully: "How do I feel that you pay more attention to that little girl than this reverse cross bar?" ”

With Kudo Shinichi's understanding of Yunchuan, this bar is something he cherishes, and an ordinary girl shouldn't be able to compare.

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi showed a teasing smile: "That girl, could it be your ......?"

It's just that he hasn't waited for him to finish.

Click!

Tsukimi Yunchuan, who was originally walking behind, slightly quickened his pace, and Shin Kudo opened the car door one step and sat in the passenger seat.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi was stunned, scratched his head and wondered: "What are you anxious about, isn't there still a place?" ”

With that, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat of the police car.

But when Officer Twilight started driving the police car, the siren sounded and the red lights on the roof of the car swirled and flashed.

Looking at Yunchuan through the iron railing in the middle, Kudo Shinichi's expression gradually became weird.

"Hey, why do you feel like I'm being escorted as a prisoner?"

No wonder Yun Chuan rushed to sit in the co-pilot, it turned out that he had expected this scene a long time ago!

But it's the first time to ride in a police car, why are you so skilled!

"Brother Kudo."

Officer Twilight sat in the driver's seat and reminded in a serious tone: "This case is very important, but it is not like the previous petty fights, normally unrelated people are not allowed to participate in the investigation." ”

"So, don't run around the crime scene like you used to do this time, and I'll have a hard time doing it if someone sees me."

Hearing that he was called an unrelated person, Kudo Shinichi pouted dissatisfiedly.

But he was just easy to get on, and he could still distinguish the good from the bad, and reluctantly responded: "I know, I know, Officer Dusk, you've been nagging for a long time on the way here." ”

Although the profession of detective has a high status in this country, it does not actually have the power to intervene in criminal investigations.

In fact, detectives like Kogoro Mori are the majority.

The scope of business engaged in by detectives is basically summarized as civil investigation, and most of them are in the marriage and love category of civil investigation, that is, business such as investigating cheating.

Even if it is related to a homicide, at most it is a witness, an accuser, or even a suspect, and there is no power to participate in the investigation like the police.

Before, it was because the police liked to fish in a mess, so they tacitly acquiesced in the detectives' participation in the investigation, which was also a helpless move to solve the case.

If nothing else, it will not be until June 8, 2006, when Japan promulgates the "Law Regulating the Business of the Detective Industry", that the Japanese detective industry, which has been in a state of disorderly competition for a long time, will be rectified.

However, now with the assistance of Brother Yunchuan, Officer Twilight is also a rare hardener.

Although he is also a supernumerary, he is so innocent.

As long as it's not a detective who cares about the honor of solving crimes, it's good to mention "the help of enthusiastic citizens" afterwards.

Officer Twilight looks very honest on the surface, but this little calculation in his heart is crackling.

"Hehe, it's good that Brother Kudo can understand."

Seeing that Kudo Shinichi was soft, Officer Dusk's serious expression faded, and he scratched his head with a smile: "It will take us a while to get to the scene, didn't you say that you reasoned the clues before, do you want to take advantage of this time to talk about it?" ”

No one knows these reasoning freaks better than he does.

Just stroke the hair directly to the dog.

Sure enough, Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and the dissatisfaction on his face was instantly replaced by a smug look.

"Okay, I'll talk about my reasoning first."

Kudo Shinichi leaned closer to the two of them, pointed to the photos of the scene and said, "Do you see the horizontal calluses on the deceased's hands and some slender wounds that have just healed?" ”

"Only people who adjust the spinning thread by hand every day have this trace."

"Coupled with the fact that her back bones are a bit hunched, which is obviously caused by long bending over, these are in line with the characteristics of a textile worker's work."

"There's still something I don't understand, though."

Kudo Shinichi frowned and pointed to the binding marks at the base of the deceased's legs and shoulders: "The rope has been tied around the root of the leg for a week, this binding method has no binding meaning, it is more like deliberately making her legs blood not circulating......"

Officer Twilight's expression sank slightly: "Could it be just because the murderer is extremely cruel, or psychologically distorted to the extreme?" ”

After all, it is a "gourmet" who devours the same kind, how can a normal person know the perverted thoughts.

But Yun Chuan, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of a dish called a live donkey?"

Although he was asking the two of them, including Officer Twilight, he only glanced at Kudo Shinichi.

Yun Chuan was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then turned from contemplation to horror, and knew that he had probably guessed.

I didn't expect such unpopular knowledge to be understood, and sometimes I really envy the amount of knowledge of this dog.

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Yun Chuan slowly explained: "To call a donkey alive is to fix the limbs of a donkey with a wooden plank, and then pour boiling water on the donkey, and the donkey will keep roaring because of pain. ”

"The chef then uses a knife to cut off the half-cooked donkey meat and put it on a plate for the guests to dip in the sauce to eat, and the whole process can be said to be horrifyingly cruel."

"It is said that many diners eat this dish not to see how delicious the donkey meat is, but to see the painful expression on the donkey's face when it suffers."

After a pause, Yun Chuan looked at the unrecognizable corpse again, sighed and said, "I guess, the murderer's process of mutilating the deceased is similar, he tightly tied the deceased's veins with a rope, just to cut fresh flesh from her alive." ”

In other words, the deceased was really killed alive.

Boom!! Backbite!

After hearing Yun Chuan's words, Officer Twilight's face twitched fiercely, his slightly honest face was full of anger, and he even slapped his palm on the steering wheel, making a piercing whistle.

"It's cruel, it's really cruel! What kind of beast would do such a cruel thing?! ”

Kudo Shinichi's expression also became serious and solemn.

He originally decided to participate in the investigation of this case with the attitude of solving the case and solving the mystery.

But now......

"Whew!"

Kudo Shinichi exhaled deeply, and said in a low voice, "It's the first time I've encountered this kind of guy since I became a detective, and this guy can no longer be called a human." ”

"No matter what the cost, we must catch him and let him be punished severely!"
