Chapter 551 - Estimates and Discrepancies

So, if that's the case, maybe Karakuri is really still here...... Thinking like this, Qian Yu walked between boxes 5 and 7, raised his head, and looked at the sliding slot of the doors of the two boxes - however, he didn't see anything, it was possible that there was nothing here, or that the murderer had taken the things here.

Thinking like this, Qian Yu walked back to the door of box five and looked at the carriage.

The carriage was so neat that there was almost no sign of inhabitation at all—either the murderer had deliberately concealed his traces, or it meant that the murderer had other compartments. If the latter is the case, it means that the murderer did not jump out of the car at all, otherwise once the vehicle arrives at the station, the box that has not been cleaned will be noticed, and the information inside will also be collected by the Hokkaido police for investigation.

At that moment, Conan suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

“!?” Qian Yu was startled and looked at Conan with some dismay.

"What are you thinking?" Conan asked. "Didn't you hear what Officer Nishimura said just now? Let you and me, and Gray Plains go with him. ”

"Where to go?"

"The railcar on the auxiliary track went back to Honshu - they found the killer who jumped the train, even though it was just a corpse...... Don't look at me like that, he's dead. ”

To be honest, Qian Yu really didn't seriously consider the possibility of jumping to his death, especially when it was confirmed that the Big Dipper train was only traveling at about 50 kilometers per hour when the murderer jumped - all he could imagine was that he accidentally broke his neck when jumping out of the train or died under the wheels while the buffer rolled, but the former usually only happens to novices who have no experience in jumping cars, while the latter ...... It's hard to imagine that the killer didn't let out any screams that would be heard.

Then again, why did this Nishimura police officer let himself go with Ash Hara? It's a little too strange to invite two—three children if you count Conan—to be inspired.

…………

The Seikan Tunnel is used for normal traffic, and there is a backup tunnel on both sides of the main tunnel, which is specially designed for the rapid movement of the repair team throughout the tunnel. This time, Officer Nishimura ordered the Hokkaido police to requisition a repair vehicle on the Hokkaido side and take them to the place where the body was found.

"Where is the body?" Conan asked. "How far is it from the mouth of the tunnel?"

"According to them, it should be at the location of the near 3-kilometer marking point in the Honshu section," Officer Nishimura replied. "At our current speed, it used to take about 20 minutes — oh yes, I've got a description of the case that they sent to the telegraph system on the train, you can take a look." With that, he handed three of the four pieces of paper in his hand to Conan, and Conan kept one page for himself, and the remaining two for Chiba and Ashbara.

Qian Yu took the document, and then looked at the content description on it - not much, but it was a little subtle, and the whole thing was as follows.

1. The murderer was a middle-aged man with two fake mustaches on his face and a wig on his head.

2. No particularly obvious knife and gunshot wounds were found on the body, and the preliminary judgment was that the cause of death may be death on the spot caused by the neck landing when jumping out of the car. As evidence, there are numerous scars on the face caused by rubbing against the ground.

3. There is a severe deformation of both arms that can be observed, and it is inferred that the lower arms have been fractured.

"Where's the gun?" Conan asked. "Did you find a gun?"

"Guns?" Officer Nishimura frowned, confirming that the document in his hand did not mention the incident before replying. "I guess I didn't find it, right? Otherwise, unless they are pigs, they will definitely write it. ”

"I'm curious about what happened to the glass," Qian Yu said suddenly. "Although I don't know exactly what the result will be, I think that the bullet will at most punch a few holes and some cracks in the glass, and if you want to break the whole glass, you still need to break the glass yourself and then jump out of the car."

"Scratches from glass are probably included, right?" Conan speculated. "If that's the case, it probably explains why he fell to his death - he slammed directly into the glass in an impact-resistant position, but he couldn't adjust his position after breaking through the glass, and finally his neck hit the ground first."

"Sounds likely," Gray Plains replied. "But the question is, where exactly are the guns? I thought the killer might have smashed the window and threw the gun out before jumping out on his own, but according to your thoughts, he didn't have time to throw the gun out first. ”

Qian Yu suddenly frowned. "I think it's better for us to go to the scene and talk about it......"

"What do you mean?" Conan raised an eyebrow.

"I feel like I'm thinking of something, but I don't know exactly what I'm thinking," Chiba shook her head. "Go over there and see what's going on, and then see if you can remember what I had in mind."

…………

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the location of the murderer's body, only to see that several police officers had surrounded the body, and at this time they were recording.

"I'm coming," Officer Nishimura said. "Well, we'll take care of the rest."

The policemen over there didn't say anything, just silently gave way to them.

"Huh?" Chiba let out a stunned sound, then raised an eyebrow, while Conan, who was beside him, frowned, and then glanced at Chiba and Gray Hara.

Although it felt a little strange, several people gathered around the corpse.

"It feels like we're like hyenas," Gray Plains frowned. "Sitting around a corpse that someone else has examined is like a scavenger."

"Hmm......" Qian Yu just replied casually, as he was now looking intently at the murderer's face.

"Is this Asama Yasuji?" Officer Nishimura squinted his eyes and said after a moment's recognition. "This guy...... How did it end up here? ”

"Asama Yasuji?" Gray Plains frowned. "Is this Asama Yasuji? Not disguised as Asama Yasuji? ”

"He's Yasuji Asama disguised as someone else," Officer Nishimura shook his head. "I think ...... anyway," he pinched Asama's face as he said that. It shouldn't be disguise, this is his face, and he is Asama Yasuji. ”

"Chiba," Conan took off Asama's clothes directly and began to check Asama's broken arms through his shirt. "Did you find anything?"

"......" Qian Yu looked at Conan's skillful inspection technique in astonishment, and then shook his head after a few seconds. I'm still thinking about the problem that Gray Yuan just talked about, and the upgraded version of that problem. ”

"If Asama Yasuharu broke through the glass, where is the glass? If those bullets really broke the glass, we should be able to find traces of gunfire on the walls and splashes of glass in the vicinity if we walked a little ahead. ”

With that, Chiba stood up. "Do you want to walk forward with me? Based on what you saw at the time, it should be about 100 meters ahead. ”
