Chapter 552 - Abnormal Time and Posture
After they had advanced about one hundred and fifty meters, Chiba began to wonder. "If the speed of the train is about 50, that's more than 10 seconds, right?"
"If they found it, they must have mentioned it, so it's possible that it's still around here, but it's just thrown somewhere that's hard to findβ"
As he said this, Conan suddenly looked to the side - Chiba also looked over after realizing Conan's anomaly, and then realized what Conan was paying attention to.
Over there, there were several large barrels stacked together, and it looked like they were supposed to be explosion-proof barrels or something like that. If something had been thrown into the gap between the barrels, the police probably wouldn't have noticed what might have been inside.
"If I had to say, the odds of throwing it in here are actually very small," Conan said, approaching the blast barrel and using the flashlight on his watch to function searching the gap between the barrels. "But if you can't find a pistol outside, I'm afraid you'll really have to be between these crevices."
"Hmm......" Qian Yu let out a hesitant voice behind him.
"But honestly, I think it's going to be a hassle to find these......" Conan sighed after rummaging through the gaps between several barrels. I'm even beginning to wonder if there's actually a gun in there β though that's the only possibility, I haven't found it yet. β
"You didn't think about it, maybe you missed something?" At this moment, Gray Yuan's indifferent voice sounded.
"What do you mean?" Conan frowned and turned around, only to find that Chiba and Ash Hara were standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at something - Ash Hara was holding a small flashlight in his hand that was supposed to be Chiha's daily carry, while Chiba was just putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the scene below. "What do you mean...... Guns underneath that? β
"yes," Chiba nodded. "Maybe this pistol fell here because Asama didn't throw the gun out when he jumped out of the car, but let the gun fall naturally - wait a minute, if it fell naturally, can I understand that it is very likely that Asama Yasuji didn't jump out of the car, but only jumped out of the car after standing in front of the window and throwing the gun down?"
"Yes," Conan said to them, and looked at the pistol-shaped object looming next to the railroad tracks with the help of a small flashlight in Gray Hara's hand. "In that case, we'll have to go back and see Asama's corpse and see if his death really matches the way he is most likely to leave the Big Dipper train."
Looking at the figure of Conan walking back, Qian Yu raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" Gray Yuan Ai didn't seem to look at Qianyu's side, but he knew his every move.
"I was thinking about the glass, but he just went back......" Chiba shrugged. It's just a little confused. β
"Anyway, did you find any traces of glass?" Gray Yuan asked again. "I think if we're going to look for glass marks, we need to go a little bit further. Of course, there is no need to go too far, because Conan's account shows that Asama Yasuharu didn't disappear for too long, and the train couldn't have gone too far, in fact, I already felt that it was a bit too far. β
"Unless he didn't leave the cabin here," Gray Plains suddenly suggested the possibility. "If it was him who hung himself on the outside of a train with broken glass with a little hook or something, and then threw away the pistol when he wanted to and tried to jump out of the train, but had an accident while jumping."
"The speed is not right," Qian Yu shook his head. "Don't forget that the train entered the track on time, which means that he was already entering the tunnel when he committed the crime, and the murderer was already very close to here when he had the opportunity to hang himself outside the carriage, and it was completely pointless for him to hang it like this."
"Maybe we should go back and see if Asama Yasuji really died because of jumping out of the car, or if the person Conan saw was Asama Anji who jumped out of the car and died." When Gray Yuan Wai said this, he suddenly looked at Qian Yu with a somewhat strange expression. "Edogawa, will he be ......?"
"I don't know," Chiba shrugged. "Given who he is and his ability to match identity, I don't think it's really surprising that he's one step ahead of us."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Conan once again examines Asama's body.
After seeing the situation over there, he probably had an idea.
It took about 10 seconds from the time Asama shot to Conan entering the entire room and confirming that no one was in the room, and based on the comparison of the train's travel schedule and the timeline of the murderer's trajectory confirmed by Conan, it can also be judged that Asama probably jumped out of the train during these ten seconds.
But the problem is that there is an unexplained irrationality in the timeline of the murderer's trajectory - if the sound of Asama Yasuharu shooting at the box is set to 0 seconds, then Conan and Dr. Asasa will raise their heads again at the 3-second point and prepare to move towards Box 5.
Then, at about 8 seconds, Conan was approaching the box at full speed, when the door to the box was closed.
Eventually, at the time of 10 seconds, Conan opened the box door, and by this time Asama had probably left the compartment and completely disappeared from his view.
The main problem here is 8 to 10 seconds. If the box door was closed by Asama Yasuharu...... Considering that the length of the box is more than 2 meters, it is almost impossible for Asama to accelerate from one end to the other in two seconds, and then flip out the broken window and hit the ground. (If Asama Yasuji landed after Conan opened the box door, according to the principle of inertia, Asama's landing point should be very close to this window, and Conan has no reason not to hear him landing.) οΌ
In addition, there is also a problem with the condition of Asama's bones: Generally speaking, the common action when jumping out of the car is to cross his hands in front of his head to cushion the impact of the head that may occur when the jumping car lands, and if the speed is too fast, it may cause the bones of the crossed arms to wrestle with each other after colliding with the ground, and eventually cause both arms to be fractured - it seems that Asama is now fractured.
However, Asama's fracture condition does not match the fracture condition that should be in this condition. If the fracture is caused by the angulation of both arms, then the direction of bending after the fracture of both arms should be reversed, if the fracture direction of one arm is inward, then the other arm should be outward.
However, Asama's arms were fractured inward, and he also had severe fractures in his fingers, which is obviously not a condition that can occur in the case of the aforementioned head guards.
