Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 161 Surprisingly Reasonable

"In fact, Kimura Taro was already dead that time."

"Secondly, in order to create the scene, the murderer first sprinkled black dog blood in the middle and then lifted the murderer up. This made it look like the murderer was the victim who sprinkled black dog blood on himself and then lay down, so that the police would mistakenly believe that he committed suicide."

"Then the murderer spilled the last bit of black dog blood, stacked the bluffing Tarot cards into the shape of dominoes, and then left through the window. In this way, the secret room was completed." Kogoro Mouri explained seriously.

"But how exactly was the window locked?" Inspector Megure was skeptical.

"The murderer probably used fishing line or silkworm silk or something like that," Maori Kogoro thought. "In order to create the illusion of strangulation, the murderer first wrapped the fishing line around the victim's neck several times, then hooked it through the window lock and pulled hard."

As he said this, Kogoro Maori made a gesture of dragging with force.

"In this case, just tie a small object to the other end of the fishing line and tie a slipknot where the object is tied. This way, when the window lock touches it, the object will get stuck in the gap of the window."

"The murderer only needs to use a little force to open the noose, so that the fishing line can be taken away smoothly by the murderer, and the room becomes a secret room."

Maori Kogoro said it with all seriousness. If Bai Zhi hadn't been there, she would have believed it. This confident tone, this arrogant look, this ability to vividly depict scenes...

This method actually makes sense!

And it’s actually quite feasible!

"Do you want to take a look at what you are saying? He actually wanted the police to misjudge that he committed suicide, so why did he strangle him in the end?" Bai Zhi held her forehead with her hand.

"He could have put a knife in the victim's hand to make it look like suicide. Of all the options, why did he choose the one that looked most like homicide?"

"This shows that the murderer's IQ is not high, and there is always a loophole." Maori Kogoro coughed awkwardly twice: "This shows that my IQ is much higher than the murderer's, so I can easily see through things that he can't think of."

...Do you really dare to say that?

"Can you be a little more serious? Bai He is a teenager who is not even 20 years old. With his small physique, how do you expect him to move Kimura Taro to the bloody drama that just happened?" Bai Zhi gritted her teeth.

"If you want to put someone on it easily, you have to at least carry them like a princess, and you have to have an absolute advantage in terms of size."

If the posture was not dragging, there would definitely be traces of dragging on the blood, and the police would easily find that it was not the scene of death.

But that was clearly not the case, as it turned out that what was being moved was not a body but a box.

"And if, as you said, the murderer just wanted to create a secret room, why would he put out tarot cards? Why would he have nothing better to do?"

"Also, let's not talk about the fishing line being easily broken when it's wrapped around the neck and pulled hard. Even if it leaves a mark on the murderer's neck and then slips off smoothly, and the murderer pulls you out of the window, you said you need to tie something to it so that the window lock can be touched, right?"

"Where is that thing? The police didn't find it, did they? If the locked room technique you mentioned is true, there should be something left in the ward."

Bai Zhi kept on refuting a bunch of things, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Kogoro Mori was suddenly speechless and could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

How should I put it? It's outrageous that when there is no evidence and it's just pure guessing, every guess seems to be reasonable.

A warm touch wrapped around her palm. Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she met a pair of gentle purple-gray pupils. Her irritable mood immediately calmed down.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" asked Toru Amuro softly.

Bai Zhi: "?(?'?'?)?...Smoothie!"

In the end, everyone found a curry shop and sat down.

The main reason was that they saw Bai He and Kimura Uehara eating inside, so after thinking about it, everyone went in as well, just to watch these two people.

Toru Amuro took Baizhi out to buy smoothies, and Conan thought about it and followed them out.

Baizhi seemed to like eating cold things very much. Considering that Baizhi was really working hard today, Amuro Toru did not stop Baizhi from ordering two smoothies.

Bai Zhi lay on the counter, watching the rumbling sound of the smoothie-making machine, her eyes shining.

"That thing actually exists, right?" Toru Amuro leaned against Bai Zhi and asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi was a little surprised. She almost couldn't react when Amuro Toru asked her suddenly.

"The thing Mr. Maori said actually exists, but it's not used to lock windows." Amuro Toru whispered, "The key point should be the door."

"Hmm~ Why does Xiao Ling think so?" Bai Zhi's eyes flashed with interest, and she looked at Amuro Toru with a half-smile: "Have you discussed this with Xiao Conan?"

"No, it's just a guess. The murderer tried too hard to cover up his mistake." Amuro Toru shook his head slightly: "I agree with what you said just now. The murderer didn't need to spend time to arrange so many tarot cards into the shape of dominoes."

"But the murderer did just that, and blocked the door directly." Bai Zhi continued: "And the moment the witness opened the door, the dominoes began to fall."

"Well, it's like telling everyone that the murderer definitely couldn't have opened the door from inside." Amuro Toru agreed, "In this case, the door is the most likely possibility."

"There's more." Bai Zhi was suddenly no longer in a hurry. She suddenly felt that she didn't need to be so serious.

The protagonists seem to be quite powerful, it's just that she has a bit of an occupational disease.

"How did the key get into his hand? How did the door get closed? What about the dominoes?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile, "Was the murderer strangled or thrown to death? Did the deceased know about the murderer's sophistry?"

"It's ice cubes." Conan on the side suddenly interrupted.

"∑(O_O；) Eh!!" Bai Zhi was startled and jumped into Amuro Toru's arms. It took her a long time to react. It seemed that she overreacted.

"Hey! Do you know that you can scare people to death?" Bai Zhi glared at Conan unhappily.

Conan is innocent, he has been following you all the time, it was you who didn't pay attention.

"It must be ice. There are traces of water on Taro Kimura's cuffs, and the color of the corpse spots on his palms looks like they have been frozen." said Toru Amuro.

"Also, although you said before that it would be difficult to move the cards after they were frozen, I still prefer this." Conan added: "As for the melodrama... I think it should be used to cover up the traces of water after the ice melted."

"That's probably the case." Bai Zhi nodded, "But that large circle of tarot cards was definitely not frozen. The murderer laid it out and then left through the door."

"But if that's the case, the distance won't be enough." Conan estimated the distance the cards would be placed in a straight line in his mind.

The vertical line of cards leads directly to the door, and is only about 1 to 3 cm away from closing the door. Normally, it is impossible to exit after the cards are arranged.

Otherwise, the domino would have fallen earlier and the witnesses would not have seen it fall.

"Of course the whole arrangement distance is not enough, but what if the first few cards themselves fall down?"
