Chapter 373: Footprints on the Roof

March 26, Wednesday, before six in the evening.

It took nearly ten minutes for Mori, Ran, Conan, Megure Police Department, Mrs. Imoto, Mr. Terasawa, and Mr. Dohashi to reach the roof of the building opposite Imoto's house.

When Maori reached the roof, he immediately turned on the flashlight, squatted on the ground and looked around.

The Mumu Police Department, who had climbed ten floors in one breath, said out of breath: "Hey, hey, brother Maoli, what are you looking for? What do you want everyone to come here for? I don't think there should be anything related to the case here." related stuff."

"Please wait a moment, Police Department." Mori said, stood up a moment later and asked with a smile, "Ms. Imoto, Mr. Dohashi, and Mr. Terasawa, have you three been to this place before?"

Takako Imoto said, "How could I come to such a place?"

Tetsuo Dohashi said, "I've never been here either."

"I've been here before." Norio Terasawa asked, "What's the problem?"

"Very good," Maori smiled confidently, and then asked in surprise, "Well, Mr. Terasawa, you said you have been here?"

"Yes, I have been here today." Norio Terasawa said.

Megure police department asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Terasawa, what are you doing here?"

"Practice your golf swing," Terasawa said. "You need a spacious place to swing your golf ball, and you can't do it in an apartment."

"So, Mr. Terasawa Norio, the murderer who killed Mr. Imoto Ryusuke is indeed you," Mouri said.

"What!" Megure Police Department asked in surprise, "Brother Maoli, how can you kill Mr. Imoto here?"

"Yes." Maori said, "Guys, you should be able to see the victim's apartment from here, right?"

At this time, the crooked moon had come out, and under the moonlight, one could clearly see Room 701, which was lit on the opposite side.

"It's true that you can see it," Meguro Police Department asked, "but what if you can see it?"

Maori asked: "Police, are you still familiar with fishing methods?"

"Fishing method?" Megure Police Department said, "Uh, barely."

"When fishermen are fishing, they use a special tool called a throwing rod to throw the bait on the fishing rod tens of meters away." Maori said, "Mr. Terasawa uses something with a little weight Instead of bait, swing the pole from here, let the heavy object fly to the opposite balcony, and hit the victim’s head.” Then he pointed a flashlight at a footprint in front of the railing and said, “The shoe print here is the best evidence. Then he said, "Ms. Jingben said that Mr. Jingben practiced Taijiquan on the balcony before he was killed. One of the main points of Taijiquan is not to move quickly. Mr. Terasawa took advantage of Mr. Jingben's back to here, and threw the pole forward. It hit Mr. Imoto in the back of the head and killed the victim, Mr. Imoto. Then, of course, he drew the pole to retrieve the heavy object, but when he pulled the pole, the heavy object hit the railing of the balcony and made a "clang" sound, which is the earth bridge Sir heard the voice."

"That's right, it must be so." Tetsuo Dohashi said happily.

"There is another point that Mr. Terasawa didn't count at all, that is, when he pulled back the heavy object, he accidentally knocked down a bird flying in the air." Mao Li laughed, "I picked it up just now. I'm afraid the little bird had a slight concussion."

Mu Mu Police Department asked: "But,

Brother Mori, the balcony from here to there is almost 30 meters away. Is it possible for Mr. Terasawa to throw a heavy object on the victim so accurately? "

"It just takes a lot of practice, especially for someone who's usually good at fishing," Mori asked. "Am I right, Mr. Terasawa?"

"No, sir, even if you practice every day, no one can guarantee that you can accurately throw the bait to the designated position every time, even if you draw a big circle." Norio Terasawa laughed, "Mr. Mori , if, as you said, all basketball players must be three-point shooters, and football players must all be goalkeeper killers. In the Olympics, there will be no difference in the scores of those shooters , I think the accuracy of the shooting guns used by Olympic athletes must not be bad."

Police Department Megure said: "That's right, Brother Mori, what Mr. Terasawa said makes a lot of sense."

"This," Maori said, "by the way, Mr. Terasawa, the shoe prints of the shoes you are wearing now, if I guess correctly, should match the shoe prints on the ground."

"It should be." Norio Terasawa said, "As I said just now, I came here today to practice my swing."

"When?" Molly asked.

Norio Terasawa said: "I came back after the line was cut off, and I was here until I entered the apartment."

"That is to say, when the victim was killed, you practiced swinging here," Megure Police Department asked, "Then where did your fishing line break?"

"I'm also a frequent visitor to the fishing ground in Tama River, and many people have seen it." Norio Terasawa said.

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Then what about the fish you caught?"

"Because of that guy Imoto, I'm a fisherman now." Norio Terasawa said, "Thanks to the heavy rain last night, I can count as a small gain, and after selling it, I can improve my food for a few days. "

"I will send someone to investigate." Megure Police Department said, and then asked, "Brother Maori?"

Scratching his head, Maori said, "By the way, check his body to see if there is that heavy object."

The Mumu Police Department checked, but found nothing.

Mao Li said: "Since it is not on him, the heavy object stained with the blood of the victim Mr. Imoto must be near this building."

"I don't know about that," Norio Terasawa said.

Mao Li said: "Also, fishing gear, see if there is any blood."

"Well, that's a good point." Megure Police Department said, "Mr. Terasawa, please let us check the fishing gear."

Norio Terasawa said: "That's no problem." He handed over the fishing gear, and then asked Megure Police Department, "Master Police Department, it's past six o'clock, can I go home and have something to eat?"

Tetsuo Dohashi said: "Yes, sir, if there is no evidence, can you let us go back?"

Norio Terasawa said: "And it might be done by an external criminal. There is only one administrator. He usually sits in the concierge and reads newspapers and TV. He occasionally inspects the apartment. To be honest, the entry and exit record , and that glass door can only work for gentlemen like us."

"This..." Mumu Police Department was embarrassed.

What kind of external crime was done by him, Conan thought with his chin, something is wrong, why is he not afraid at all, that heavy object must be around here, if he finds it... wait a minute, his fishing line is broken, Then if he burns the piece of fishing line wrapped around that heavy object, then even if he finds that heavy object, there is no way to prove that the heavy object is hanging on his fishing rod. Ah, damn it! What next? Then he muttered: "I don't know what idea that guy Yamazaki can come up with."

"Conan, what are you talking about? Yamazaki?" Lan said, "You need to add honorifics, do you know?"

"Yes, Sister Lan." Conan said, "I mean they left after such an incident."

"They're going back to help." Lan smiled, and then said, "Speaking of which, Yamazaki seems to have asked Mei Daizi to call back and say that she will be late. Why...it's strange."

Conan's face changed. It turned out to be the case. Seeing that the fishing rod that Norio Terasawa took out was broken, he knew that Norio Terasawa would definitely dispose of the fishing line before returning to the apartment. Wasted time and slipped away. Damn, don't say a word, that bastard Yamazaki.

At this time, a dog barked from downstairs, and Conan saw that it was a police dog. Now we can only find the murder weapon first, maybe there will be new clues, the question is such a large area, where will he get the murder weapon? ...

On the other side, the time moved forward a bit, and Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came out of Imoto's residential building, "It's 5:26, let's run, we should be able to get home."

"Hmm." Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, do you know who the murderer is?"

"Understood, but this has developed into a relatively perfect criminal incident. There is no evidence at all, so there is no need to stay." Yamazaki said with a smile, "There is no blood on the flower pot, basically the murder weapon is not Those flowerpots are gone, which means that the murder weapon is not at the scene. I saw the broken fishing line just now, and suddenly thought that if I tied the stone to the fishing line and then threw it with a fishing rod, then it could be done, and after recycling Then break the fishing line, burn the fishing line on the stone, throw away the stone, and there will be no flaws at all."

"So that's how it is." Mei Daizi said, "But I don't think he can hit that person's head so accurately."

"Uncle Mori is here, maybe." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Well, that's right." Mei Daizi smiled, and then asked, "By the way, brother, you can actually throw a stone tied with a thread from the roof of the building, then burn the thread and throw away the stone. Why not Mr. Dohashi?"

"On the roof, you don't need a rope, as long as you have a blunt object, isn't he at the scene later? You can throw away the murder weapon. But no strange fragments were found at the scene, which means that the blunt object hit someone It is still a whole. Mr. Dohashi obviously went there with hope, and it is impossible to carry that kind of thing with him." Yamazaki said with a smile, "The earliest time Mr. Dohashi left Room 701 can be estimated at four o'clock Forty-eight minutes, which means he has nine minutes to find the murder weapon, and then go upstairs to throw the murder weapon. The problem is that in that empty apartment building, there is no good suitable blunt weapon that can kill someone in one piece. try to find."

"Yes, there is a tap." Mei Daizi said, "There must be one in the empty room next door."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Without tools, the faucet is not so easy to install."

"That's true." Mei Daizi asked, "Then what about Mrs. Jingben?"

"Think about the scenes on TV," Yamazaki asked, "how do those women usually behave?"

"Well," Mei Daizi thought for a while and smiled, "Ah, if it's really because of the family property, there won't be a divorce."

"It's usually like this." Yamazaki laughed, "so there is not enough motivation."

"Brother, then this matter cannot be resolved?" Mei Daizi asked.

"Since he came to the apartment by himself, it means that he has dealt with the fishing line. And this apartment is full of empty rooms. If outsiders think about it, they can definitely sneak in without being discovered, and there is no one around. It's normal for people to see it, so there are external criminals in the past." Yamazaki said, "So without evidence, it will become a legacy incident. If you kill a wanted murderer someday and find that he has been here today, Then this incident will be placed on his head to end the incident."

"So that's how it is." Mei Daizi smiled, "It seems that the police will also cheat." Then she asked, "The incident in the morning, if the tape is not found, will it become a legend of Wutiangou?"

"In the matter of the tape, Master Xiu Nian was actually tricked by Abbot Tianyong. Abbot Tianyong tore off the tape to make the incident look very mysterious. In fact, Master Xiu Nian only needs to wipe off the traces on the tape That's it, even if you know the method, there are so many people in the temple, and outsiders can't be ruled out, those tapes don't need to be torn off at all." Yamazaki said, "But it's different from this incident, even if there is no tape, there is no need to tear off the tapes under Master Xiu Nian. When Abbot Tianyong was strangled to death, he would definitely not be able to run away, and from the strangle marks, it can be seen that the murderer was him."

"Stroke marks? Why?" Mei Daizi asked suspiciously.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Think about the posture of strangling people on TV, or the method, how to prevent strangulation marks on the back of the neck, generally how to do it."

"Well," Mei Daizi said after thinking for a while, "Press people on the ground, use chairs or something, and carry people back to back."

"Add a few conditions. There are no chairs or other things in Abbot Tianyong's bedroom, and nothing is broken. There is no abnormal thing in the nails." Yamazaki asked, "What method do you mean?"

"If you don't have a chair, you can't use the spacer pose. If you press the ground, there will definitely be something left between your nails." Mei Daizi laughed, "That's the piggyback pose."

"Piggyback?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "Okay, next, think about what ordinary people would do if they were carried on their backs."

"Of course it's enough for the people behind," Mei Daizi said, "By the way, if it's Master Kuan Nian and Master Mu Nian, they will definitely be able to touch their heads; if they are from the bottom, they will definitely be able to touch Fatty Master Tun Nian. Ah, that is Master Xiu Nian, he is the only one who can make people untouchable." Then he laughed, "By the way, there is another person, Conan, he can also."

"Conan? He can't carry the abbot on his back at all, and he will be crushed." Yamazaki laughed, and then said, "Also, by analyzing the angle of the strangle marks on Abbot Tianyong's neck, we can also determine who the murderer is. Knowing that the height and body shape are different, the resulting angles are also different."

Mei Daizi asked: "Then this incident, can't it be concluded that Mr. Terasawa is holding fishing gear?"

"Unless the murder weapon tied with the fishing line is found and it is proved that the fishing line on the murder weapon is the fishing line on the fishing gear in Mr. Terasawa's hand, or the moment when someone saw Mr. Terasawa doing it," Yamazaki said, "otherwise we cannot convict him. You must know that the railing of the building next to it is about 30 meters away from the place where Mr. Imoto fell to the ground. Using a fishing rod to throw the murder weapon on the fishing line to the head of a person 30 meters away is not absolutely possible. .Maybe Terasawa-san just wanted to scare Doi-san, but accidentally killed him."

"It seems Mr. Jingben's luck is very bad." Mei Daizi smiled, "By the way, that little bird was also unlucky and was shot down." Then she said, "No, that little bird didn't Taken a blow, at most a little concussion from the fall."

"Shouldn't have hit it. If it did, that bird wouldn't be able to survive." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I guess that little bird might have been scared off by the murder weapon flying by."

"Scared?" Mei Daizi smiled and said, "By the way, this is called a frightened bird." Then, in the distance, Ichiro Miyamoto, who was directing the delivery truck at the back door of Mei Dai Restaurant, shouted, "Dad!" He accelerated and ran over.

The two greeted Ichiro Miyamoto and entered the Mei Dai Restaurant through the back door. As soon as Mei Daizi entered the door, she shouted: "Mom, I'm back." Said and ran to the front.

Seeing Mei Daizi approaching, Miyamoto Miko asked with a smile: "I'm back, how is it, did Wutiangu catch it?"

Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Don't mention it, that old monk used it to deceive people."

"That's such a pity." Miko Miyamoto laughed.

"By the way, his nose is so long." Mei Daizi tugged at the tip of his nose, "It must be because of the many lies."

"Okay, let's talk about these things later," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Go and change clothes."...
