"Even though she confessed, the whole process was still quite weird," Yusaku Kudo said, looking at Officer Shiratori, who was sitting opposite. "Because the question is, even though we've found a backup repair pipe from the basement of the psychiatric hospital to the basement of the library, is it a little too hard for such a woman to do the murder?"

If Chiba's description of the crime scene was not wrong, the deceased were all alive before they were burned. Considering the fact that the members of the Junior Detective Corps heard the clash of the armor armor's foot armor, the other party may have been wearing heavy plate armor throughout the crime. Unlike light armor, plate armor is connected by a large number of complex connecting mechanisms, which is difficult for a single person to complete, and ancient knights generally needed the help of one or more helpers to do so. So the whole case at least includes the murderer who wore the plate armor and the facilitator who put the plate armor on the ta.

There are two parts to the process of committing the crime, one is to wear plate armor for a long time, and the other is to press the body against the wall and lift it up. The former requires enough stamina and a certain amount of strength, while the latter requires enough instantaneous strength. And for those who have the strength to wear armor that is not necessary for killing for a long time, it is not too difficult to lift the body in a short time, at most it is necessary for a helper to stick the sword into the throat and nail it to the wall. (Lifting a person mainly requires arm strength, and only a small part of the weight of plate armor is carried by the arm, so it doesn't have much effect.) ）

But if that's the case, Neviah's company has a problem, because Neviah's confession of the crime is the person who killed the demon, that is, the identity of the murderer, so her strength should be better than that of the helper, otherwise the person wearing the heavy plate armor should be the helper and not Neviah.

So, if Neviah's confession is true, then she must have the power to lift the body up.

But is it too difficult for such a woman who is not strong to lift a grown man? Although it is impossible to determine the exact weight, if it is estimated based on the considerable height of the bones, as long as the opponent is not really too thin, the weight will inevitably exceed 60 kg or even 70 kg......

Wait a minute, is there anything you just thought of...... Something isn't quite right?

Kudo's eyes were slightly confused, but then they suddenly became clear.

……

After school, on a bus.

"You can do it yourself, why did you pull me on with you......" Qian Yu pouted rather dissatisfied, complaining to Conan.

"Dad called you, I can't help it - say what he has cracked the technical content of the whole case, let's come over and practice together, and by the way, see if there is any room to fill in the gaps." Conan sighed. "But I think he may have encountered a problem too, this time he specifically explained the category of [technical problems], maybe just found the murderer, but there is a lack of evidence or something."

"Then what can we do," Qian Yu pouted. "Before, on the Pearl Tree Airship, he exaggerated his overwhelming superiority over Kidd the Monster Thief. If it's something he can't even think about, we'll ......."

"Maybe it's going to give us a workout—" Conan also said with a thoughtful expression. "Obviously I'm ...... Wait a minute, you can't be the illegitimate child of my dad when he was young and with a woman somewhere, right? ”

"Hey!?" Qian Yu complained dissatisfiedly.

Forty minutes later, Medieval Art Gallery.

"You're here?" Yusaku Kudo looked at the two children in front of him and said with a smile. "Alright, I'll follow you and tell you the results of a test when you want to know the results, just take a good look at the scene and it should be enough for you to complete your reasoning and find the murderer."

"Now to the scene?" Conan was stunned. "Won't it affect the follow-up collection of evidence?"

"The case has been solved," Yusaku Kudo stared into Conan's eyes. "Just 10 minutes ago, we used the test results to get the prisoner to confess."

The results that came out ten minutes ago, that is, they are certainly not the results of trace forensics of conventional objects, but the results of the detection of some kind of deviant sample.

"Oh yes," Yusaku Kudo said suddenly with some apologies to Chiha. "I hope you understand, if you don't have the same whereabouts as Conan, I'll definitely follow him first, but if you want to ask any questions, you can text me - you have a cell phone, right?"

……

"This woman's testimony is not reliable at all, is it?" Conan looked at the transcript and pouted. "A mentally ill person, if someone hypnotizes her a little, she takes those things seriously. And in terms of this composition, it is not appropriate to apply Longinus to kill Jesus, right? Personally, I definitely prefer ...... I remember a famous painting with a sword piercing the throat, called ......"

"Heavenly Punishment, you mean that picture, right?" Yusaku Kudo replied immediately. "You're right, if Qianyu's memories are not wrong, they are indeed very similar to this painting."

"yes, it's definitely better to use this picture." Conan nodded. "With Longinus's picture, there is a feeling that the words do not reach the meaning, and it seems to be very stiff."

Yusaku Kudo just shrugged his shoulders but didn't say anything.

"Dad, can you give me a hint?" Conan looked at Yusaku Kudo without saying anything, and said dissatisfied. Could it be that the next process is to find such far-fetched evidence of the possibility of murder...... Wait a minute, what are the results of that painting? ”

If the purpose is not to prove such a possibility, it must first be proven that she is the murderer. And the reason for all the focus on Neviah is now based on that painting.

But if the painting was not actually painted by the psychopathic lady herself, but someone else tricked the mentally ill lady into recognizing it by something like hypnosis, then this evidence would be immediately overturned.

"Great job," Kudo nodded with a smile. "As a result, the pigment used is not the same as the one used by Miss Neviah, so it is believed that it was not painted by Miss Neviah herself. So if that's the case, who exactly is the murderer? ”

"Check everyone's paints, especially normal people first?" Conan came up with his own idea. "After all, if a mentally ill person frames other mentally ill people, this kind of thing is too ......"

"Particularly strong flat-chested women, I think this kind of person is more suspicious." At this moment, Qianyu's voice rang out.

As he spoke, he took a photocopy of the plate armor worn by the prisoner he had painted for Kudo Yu.
