Although in a series of investigations by the police afterwards, they found that the murderer seemed to be in a very haste when he fled, not only did he not have time to recover props such as abandoned motorcycles that were far away from the scene of the crime - in fact, he could not recover them, because Qianyu and they had been lying in ambush there for a long time, waiting for the possibility that the murderer would actually come back to take the motorcycle.

However, he left almost no traces at the scene, except for a short sword with a slight trail of blood: according to the judgment of the scar forensics, it is likely that this short sword is the same model as the deadly weapon that stabbed the deceased Mr. Sakura Masazo who stabbed and killed him in Sakuraya.

Why did the murderer take everything else and leave such a weapon that could be used as important evidence for conviction by the police if his identity information remained? Considering that the police have found little to no other core evidence, it can be said that the knife was abandoned alone here due to negligence, which can be said to be a rather unconvincing thing.

Do you not want to, or can't? In the case of the former, what is the reason for the other party to do so? And if it's the latter, how far does it take to lack the ability to carry such an important potential exhibit to be abandoned here?

In such a daze, the police were not able to sort out the clues worth pursuing and the direction of solving the case, and finally could only refocus on the scene where Sakura Masazo was killed.

However, the previous scene did not find any valuable clues - they searched for a long time in the water of the Kamogawa River, but they could not find the murder weapon or anything that could be used as a potential murder weapon, so Suzuki's testimony did not help in the end.

Undoubtedly, the only thing they could do now was to peruse what they had found in Sakuraya and the motorcycle and dagger abandoned by the murderer.

In contrast, two people can do a little more.

……

"Uh-" With such a moan, Hattori Heiji slowly opened his eyes - and with it, the feeling of being tightly entangled in his body was something.

"Brother Heiji, are you awake?" Suddenly, Qianyu's voice came from the side. "How does it feel?"

"What time is it...... Hattori looked around, but there was no way to see the scene inside because the curtains were closed.

"At 8:47 a.m. on August 4th," Chiba replied. "You've been in a coma for about 10 hours."

"Ten hours...... "Hattori Heiji tried to move his body in front of him, and sure enough, he found that part of his body seemed to be wrapped in bandages." Did the police find anything? If you don't know, give me a call for Conan......"

"We discussed it last night, but there was no progress." Qian Yu shook his head. "Conan told me that Officer Ayakoji barely found any valuable clues, and that our side is stuck on the question of how the killer met you."

"How did you meet me?" Hattori frowned slightly. "What does that mean?"

After Chiba and the others roughly described the problems they encountered to Hattori Heiji, Hattori Heiji's brow furrowed slightly. "If that's it...... I suspect that the murderer was someone we had seen inside the Sakura House at the time. ”

"We did make that speculation, but there's still no way to explain why the killer confirmed that he was able to see you in Sakuraya."

"Seeing me should have been an accident, not something designed by the murderer himself." Hattori Heiji cut the railway. "It was a complete accident that we went there, and the accident was not caused by anyone else, but the young lady of the Maori family, and the young lady of the Maori family herself went there because Maori Kogoro was invited to go there - this inference is impossible unless the killer knew enough about her character and could have predicted that we would meet them at that time. If he really planned to kill me with a premeditated intention, it was absolutely impossible for him to choose to do it to me at night, after all...... I'm not a good guy to assassinate at night. For this reason, he must have met me there, so he prepared his weapons on the spur of the moment, ready to attack me. ”

"But that person must have a lot of free time—" Chiba said. "Everyone in the Sakura House was asked, and it wasn't long before we were ready to go, so he had to get his motorcycle and weapons ready in a relatively short time - the important thing was the former, this motorcycle was a gem and it was impossible to stockpile."

"Surveillance footage," Heiji Hattori said suddenly. "Surveillance footage!"

“？” Qian Yu was stunned.

"If he can find this motorcycle nearby, it probably means that he has a base nearby," Hattori Heiji said in a deep voice. Or rather, he simply rode this car. This is the core tourist belt, which means that he is likely to be in the surveillance. ”

"But the other party should be familiar with this place too, right?" Qian Yu frowned slightly. "In this case, it is very likely that the other party will specifically circumvent the method of distributing surveillance cameras."

"That's right," Hattori nodded. "Or maybe there's another option to look closely at the tires of the car, maybe there's some clue hidden in the rut marks that could reveal the car."

When he said this, Hattori Heiji seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute, what about Kazuha?"

"And Sister Ye?" Chiba glanced in the direction of the door. "She went out and hasn't come back yet...... It's been about 30 minutes. ”

"30 minutes?" Hattori Heiji was stunned. "So long...... Did she fall into the toilet? ”

Just then, the door was pushed open - Conan walked in.

"Hattori, you're awake—" As he said this, Conan suddenly saw Chiba sitting next to him. "Ah, how did you ......"

"It's just a matter of looking at Brother Heiji," Chiba shrugged. "Did you come to see him too?"

"Not counting...... Right? Conan hesitated for a moment, then refocused his gaze on Heiji Hattori. Didn't you already make an appointment with several suspects yesterday to do an inquiry together today? But look at your mummy...... I'm afraid there's no way to go, right? ”

"What are you kidding?" Frowning, Hattori Heiji directly ripped off the bandage after stroking the location of the wound. "It's already gone, let's go!"

Chiba raised his eyebrows, as he seemed to tremble when he saw Hattori's body as he tore the bandage, but he probably ignored his body's warnings as he was bent on investigating the case.

The wound probably won't burst, right? If it cracks, Hattori Heiji's body is small, and if he soils his clothes, it will be too much trouble.

Well, yesterday's question - what is the caliber of the Japanese 36 cm gun, the answer to this question still needs to be asked, of course it is - 356 mm (or 355.6 is also correct, but generally speaking, the former is more commonly used) ←← 360 mm or something,

The Japanese Navy's original artillery caliber was an imperial unit, that is, 25.4 mm was used as the base artillery caliber unit like the magical girl English, and 356 mm was the caliber of a 14-inch gun. However, in 17 years, Japan changed from the imperial system to the metric system, so all the original guns were described in the metric system...... Then a whole bunch of 356mm guns were called 36mm guns, but in fact they could not change the essence of their 356 =,=

Today's question is, what were the pathological factors that caused the Eastern Roman Empire to turn from prosperity to decline? (Please note that it is a true pathological factor)
