Saturday, March 30th, morning, Suigetsu Villa, Wakan.

After listening to Maori's words, the Yokogou Police Department nodded and said: "Mr. Maori is right, people who often handle cases can sometimes tell at a glance whether the person at the scene is dead, and Mr. Hashimoto stepped forward to confirm Mr. Majima's condition, of course, this is not wrong." Then he asked the forensic officer, "If there were no footprints before, then is this the first scene?"

"If there were no footprints before, it would be difficult to judge, because judging from the traces around the deceased, the deceased did not struggle, but in addition to moving the body, it can also be done if he is unconscious and kills," said the forensic officer. Then he laughed, "As for how the murderer killed here, that's your business." ”

The Henggou Police Department said: "Understood, I will investigate." ”

"And this," the forensic officer handed over the exhibit, "it was found in the pocket of the deceased." ”

The Henggou Police Department took the note and read: "At eleven o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you on the rooftop of the Western-style Pavilion." ”

"Look at the handwriting, it's not printed. Maori said.

"I'm the president's secretary. Masayuki Hashimoto asked, "Can you show me?"

"Please. The Henggou Police Department showed a note.

As soon as everyone saw it, Nobuaki Endo's face immediately changed, and Masayuki Hashimoto said, "It should be the handwriting of President Endo." ”

The Yokozo Police Department asked, "Mr. Endo, did you write this?"

"Yes," Nobuaki Endo's sweat fell, "but this was written before, it's true." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Can anyone prove it?"

"This ......," Nobuaki Endo couldn't say, and then hurriedly said, "but Mr. Hashimoto, Miss Ayaka, and Mr. Mori were all here at eleven last night, and it can't be ruled out that there are outside criminals now." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Oh, where did you go last night?"

Tomonori Kiyama said: "I drove Miss Lan, Miss Sonoko, Mr. Kyogoku, and Conan to the mountains to see the scenery, and when I came back, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. ”

Yuan Zi said, "Yes, it was about eleven and a half in the evening. ”

Lan said, "I can prove it too. ”

"But the time of death was after 11 p.m., so it can't be said that there was no alibi at all," Maori said. ”

At this time, another forensic officer came to hand in a ticket, an internal ticket for the Hatsushima Photography Exhibition, "The police department, this was found on the railing of the gutter." ”

"Ah," said Nobuaki Endo at once, "this is Mr. Kiyama's, maybe he came after he came back to the Western-style museum." ”

Tomonori Kiyama said, "I gave this ticket to Uncle Mashima yesterday afternoon, and you were all there at the time. ”

"Yes, it is," Maori said. Then he said to Endo Nobuaki, "Don't try to change the subject, you must be President Yomajima begging him not to quit you, you went with a rope with the idea of killing President Mashima if you didn't succeed, but President Mashima didn't agree, so you attacked him and killed him with a rope." ”

"Nonsense, there is no such thing at all. Endo Nobuaki exclaimed, "Besides, if I kill the chairman on the rooftop of the Western-style building, how can I move the chairman over?" ”

"It's ......," Maori couldn't answer for a moment.

The Henggou Police Department relieved the siege and said: "Okay, everyone, let's go to the rooftop of the foreign pavilion to have a look." ”……

The rooftop of the Western-style building.

There was nothing on the rooftop, and the Henggou Police Department asked, "Is there usually nothing here?"

Ayaka Honjo said, "Yes, in order to avoid wind and rain, I don't have fixed tables and chairs, and I prepare them every time I have a party. ”

The Henggou Police Department checked around and found no traces of a fight, but found that there were a few abrasion marks on the railing facing the Japanese hall, which looked very new, so he asked, "Miss Ayajia, do you have any impression of this?"

"Nope. Ayaka Honjo shook her head and said.

At this time, a police officer sent two arrows, tied to each end of a long fishing line, "Police, this is a suspicious object found in the woods outside the villa." ”

The Henggou Police Department held an arrow by itself, let Maori hold an arrow, and then pulled the fishing line and found that the fishing line was nearly 100 meters long.

Conan frowned, could this be similar to the last time when he stepped on the snow without a trace?,

Ayaka Honjo looked at Nobuaki Endo, who had an ugly face, "These two arrows seem to be ......"

The Yokozo Police Department asked, "Mr. Endo, is this your arrow?"

Endo Nobuaki said with an ugly face: "Yes, these two arrows are mine, but I don't know how this happened, I really don't know." ”

Maori asked, "Mr. Endo, do you know how to use a bow and arrow?"

Tomono Yamamoto said, "I heard that Mr. Endo is a master of archery, and you have won awards. ”

Masayuki Hashimoto asked, "President Endo, could this be some kind of trick you used with arrows?"

"Nonsense. Nobuaki Endo exclaimed.

"Trickery?" Māori remembered an event, "yes, I remembered." ”

"What?" asked the Henggou Police Department, "Mr. Maori, what do you remember?"

Maori smiled: "It was I who solved it before, no, it was an impossible murder incident that I participated in." ”

Conan smiled in his heart, "Participate?" Are you okay with an afterthought? But, forget it, I didn't take all the credit for it.

"Ahh ”

Maori smiled, "That's right, that's similar to this incident, just one uses a bow and arrows, and the other uses a crossbow arrow." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, what the hell are you talking about?"

"I won't talk about the circumstances of that incident here. Maori smiled, "I'll talk about the method, but there are two things to figure out first." Then he asked the officer, "Excuse me, where did you find these two arrows?"

The officer carefully identified it, "It is indeed in this direction." ”

Maori asked, "So, what were these two arrows like when you found them?"

"The line was messily tangled in several trees," the officer said. ”

"Thank you. "The murderer's method is to break a fishing line into two strands, tie one end to a bow and arrow, then shoot this bow and arrow and wrap it around a tree, and then tie the other end of the fishing line here, and then just let the body slide to the courtyard of the Japanese pavilion......"

"Then one of the fishing lines was cut, and the body fell in the middle of the courtyard, so it became impossible to kill." ”

Maori smiled: "That's right, then as long as you pull another strand of fishing line, the end of the fishing line will return to the roof of the foreign pavilion, back to the hands of the murderer, and then the murderer only needs to tie this end of the fishing line to another arrow, and then shoot the arrow, then there will be no evidence left." ”

Endo Nobuaki hurriedly said: "No, no, I haven't done this kind of thing at all, and in the middle of the night, I can't see how it is possible to shoot an arrow over there." ”

Maori smirked, "So your arrow didn't hit the tree, and you used the fishing line to wrap around the tree to support the weight." ”

"But I can't see how to shoot an arrow?" asked Nobuaki Endo rhetorically.

Tomonori Kiyama said, "There was actually a moon last night, and it was not bad. ”

Yuan Zi said, "That's right, we saw it when we looked at the night scene. ”

Lan said, "I saw it too. ”

Endo Nobuaki said: "But you will come back at eleven o'clock in the evening, and you will not know if there will be clouds covering the moon after eleven o'clock in the evening. ”

Masayuki Hashimoto said, "At that time, I saw that there were no clouds. ”

"How do you know?" asked Nobuaki Endo, then continued, "Ah, I see, in fact, you are the real murderer, so you know what the visibility was at the time of the crime, and whether there were clouds in the sky." ”

The Yokomizo Police Department asked, "Mr. Hashimoto, do you have any explanation?"

"I'm a little embarrassed to say this," Hashimoto laughed, "I was in the bathroom with a stomachache, and I could see some of the sky through the window. ”

"I see. Henggou Police Department said.

"By the way," Mori asked, "Mr. Hashimoto, why are you here this morning?"

"What do you mean, Mr. Mori?" Hashimoto asked angrily, "I kindly went over to see if there was anything I needed help with, but you were suspicious, is this just a good person who is not rewarded?"

Maori hurriedly said, "No, no, I definitely didn't mean that, I just wondered you got up early." ”

Masayuki Hashimoto said: "I got up early because I went to bed too early, I got drunk at 7 o'clock at night, slept until 11 o'clock at night, went to the bathroom and slept again, and slept until 4 o'clock this morning, I really couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, and I met this Kyogoku Mr. ”

Conan frowned, wondering, how did I think something was wrong.

Sonoko asked Kyogoku Ma, "Ah Zhen, did you really see him?"

"That's right, I saw Mr. Hashimoto in the morning. Kyogoku said.

"Also," Hashimoto Masayuki then pointed to Tomonori Kiyama and Nobuaki Endo, "Mr. Kiyama and Mr. Endo obviously heard Miss Ayaka's screams, but did not come out to see the situation, doesn't it make people suspect that they actually knew the situation? ”……
