The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 346: The technique is clear?

"I wonder if Uncle Maori and Officer Digging Well have just observed that the tail of the arrow we found downstairs actually has two rings."

"Huh? A ring?"

Kogoro Mori seemed a little surprised, as he had not really noticed this.

The well-digging police officer said, “Me too.”

Hattori Heiji was speechless about this. You are a detective and a police officer, how come you don't look at things carefully at all?

However, he paused and continued,

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. You should know it by now anyway."

"In short, the tails of the two arrows found on the wall actually have a ring each."

"This ring is not useless. It was specially designed by the murderer."

"The first step of this technique is to choose a thin thread that is long enough and pass it through the rings behind the two arrows. At the same time, the two ends of the thread are fixed to the railing of the balcony."

Hattori Heiji said this and patted the railing in front of him.

"Then,"

Hattori Heiji continued,

"Choose two thin threads, tie one end of each to the section of thread between the two arrows, and then tie the other end of one to the railing."

"Don't worry about the other end of the remaining thread for now. At this point, the preparations are complete."

"The rest is up to the crossbow."

After hearing this, Kogoro Mori was knowledgeable and had a good attitude, so he quickly figured out the situation described by Hattori Heiji.

He immediately understood, and his voice became excited.

"I see. If we shoot the crossbow arrow, we can also complete this teleportation!"

Kogoro Maori said excitedly.

Although Officer Horii, who lacked imagination, heard what Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori said, he still didn't understand.

Seeing that Officer Horii was still confused, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to continue explaining.

"Just think about it. A crossbow arrow was shot out from this side, and a crossbow arrow was shot out from this side. There was a thin line connected to the tail of each crossbow arrow, all the way to the balcony railing."

As Hattori Heiji spoke, he also had to take into account Officer Horii's ability to understand and gesture with his hands to make it clear to him.

Hattori Heiji first pointed to the position of the arrow on the left, then pointed to the position of the arrow on the right, and then exaggeratedly used his hands to draw a line back from the two places, and then drew a connecting line between the two sides.

"Officer Digging Well, do you understand? Now this place is connected by two arrows and the thin lines on them."

"The tails of the two arrows are connected to the railing. There is also a thin line connecting the two arrows. On the line between them, there is also a thin line that connects straight to the balcony railing."

"In this way, arrows and thin lines have been used to construct a shape similar to the sail of a sailboat."

With Hattori Heiji's patient persuasion, explanation, and gestures, Officer Horii probably understood what he meant.

"Oh I got it!"

The well-digging police officer suddenly realized.

"Well, you understand,"

Hattori Heiji also breathed a sigh of relief, as he had finally explained it clearly to them.

"Once this structure was built, everything became very simple. All that was left was for the murderer to use the thin line in the middle of the structure as a track, and then use the belt around Miss Naoko's waist as a zipline to slide Miss Naoko down from the second floor."

"Of course, since the murderer probably wanted us not to notice this method, he probably slid Miss Naoko down face up with her head forward."

"When Miss Naoko reaches the end of her slide, as long as the rope breaks, she will naturally lean against the wall and sit cross-legged."

"This can also explain why Miss Naoko was strangled to death, but there was a wound on her head - because it was caused by hitting the wall when she slid down."

Hattori Heiji told the rest of the crime process in one breath, and Mori Kogoro and Horii nodded repeatedly as they listened.

But after it was over, Maori Kogoro thought of another question.

"That's not right, Hattori-kun,"

Maori Kogoro pointed to the sand below and said,

"How do we recycle those thin threads? If we pull them back, there will be traces of pulling left on the ground!"

"hehe,"

Hattori Heiji smiled.

"No, there's no need to pull it back."

"Just shoot an arrow into the air."

"Shoot an arrow?"

Kogoro Mori expressed his confusion.

Hattori Heiji was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Hakuba Song.

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly."

"Mr. Maori, Officer Digging Wells, isn't there a thin line here that hasn't been used?"

"Tie a crossbow arrow to the free end of the line and shoot it, cutting all the ropes tied to the railing as you shoot it."

"The force of the crossbow arrow will carry all the thin wires with it and fly to the beach outside the yard."

"As long as the police are not aware of this method, you will just treat the crossbow arrow and string as ordinary beach trash and will not have any suspicion of them. The murderer can just ignore them or recycle them afterwards, and his purpose will be achieved."

Bai Masong said this calmly, bringing this line of reasoning to an end.

As Hakubamatsu finished speaking, Kogoro Mori and Officer Horii no longer had any doubts.

"I see!"

They both replied in unison.

Then, the well-digging officer couldn't wait to ask,

"So, Officer Bai Ma, have you figured out who the murderer is?"

Bai Masong looked at Officer Horii's impatient look and asked questions, and unconsciously overlapped his figure with that of Officer Megure in his mind.

Alas, all policemen in the world are like Mu Muer. It seems that there is still a long way to go to rectify the police style!

"No."

Bai Masong said calmly with a cold face.

"what?"

Officer Digging Well was completely confused, this wasn't right, didn't all those famous detectives and criminals pour out everything at once?

How come there is no murderer this time?

Seeing that Officer Digging Well was very surprised, Hattori Heiji explained,

"There's nothing we can do about it. Brother Song and I can only observe the people around us. In this case, anyone in this house can theoretically commit a crime as long as they know how to do it."

"Brother Song and I were only in the inner hall at the time. By comparing the time, we have basically ruled out the suspicion of everyone in the inner hall."
