Chapter 99: Joint Reasoning between Hiroki and Conan
“Really…”
Conan also lay on the ground again and looked at the ground with water stains, and sure enough, he found a shallow dent.
Afterwards, Conan found another earring under the sofa.
only……
"There is no connection..."
Conan scratched his head in distress.
"That's true." Sawada Hiroki also felt a little sorry, "We still need to determine the time of death of the body and look at the alibis of other people, right?"
He tried to call Noah and try to cheat, but due to signal problems, Noah was forced to go offline.
Conan nodded helplessly, "It's the only way."
This case is so strange, and most importantly, the state of the body is really wrong...
"Come to think of it, could this person be the one that Miss Yangzi mentioned who often threatens her?" Hiroki Sawada suddenly had a guess.
"I don't know about that either...but."
"Don't you think there's something wrong with the direction the knife is inserted?"
Conan and Hiroki spoke at the same time.
After saying this, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Conan was a little surprised: "You found it too?"
This ability of observation reminded him of Mr. Lin, whom he met on the plane. However, the latter's way of thinking was a little confusing to him, but he agreed with Mr. Lin's ability of observation.
Hiroki Sawada was a little embarrassed: "Well... maybe it's because I like computer programs?"
He often has to find errors and omissions in thousands of code programs. How can he do that without some observation skills?
Moreover, after joining the organization, he was often tested on strange questions, including brain teasers and reasoning puzzles, which made Hiroki's own abilities improve by leaps and bounds.
The two looked at each other and began to answer each other:
"If it was stabbed from behind, it's unlikely that the blade would be facing upwards."
The blade on the body's back was pointed straight up toward the shoulder, not downward.
"And the handle and the insertion point are almost horizontal. Generally, if you attack from behind, you either raise the knife and stab from top to bottom, or from bottom to top..."
"No matter what, the handle should form an angle with the body. The probability of it being at a right angle to the body is too small..."
"Also, the knife was clearly stabbed from the back, and judging by its length, it should not have penetrated the body, but the bottom of the body is covered in blood..."
Conan and Sawada Hiroki both stopped talking, looked at each other, and made a judgment in their hearts:
When the body fell, it should have been facing up!
This would explain why the body was face down with blood all over the body, but what kind of situation would cause the victim to fall backwards after being stabbed in the back?
Hiroki and Conan both fell into deep thought.
Hiroki Sawada looked up at the chair next to the corpse, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Conan, look at the chair..."
Conan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that some parts of the chair were covered with sand-like substance, and a flash of light flashed through his mind.
"So that's it!"
All the doubts instantly connected into a line in Conan's mind, and all the problems were solved!
However, Hiroki Sawada was not as quick as him this time. He was still thinking about why there were footprints on the chair and who they belonged to.
Seeing Conan's smile that said 'everything is under control', Hiroki was a little surprised: "Do you already know what's going on?"
Conan smiled with mysterious confidence: "Ah, I have completely figured it out. This case was disguised as a homicide..."
"I'm telling you, little brat! Don't come onto the scene without permission and get in the way!"
The Fist from the Sky just hit Conan on the head.
Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure, who had arrived at some point, walked in together. They were furious to see Conan fussing around the corpse.
"It hurts!" Conan quickly covered the big bump on his head, wanting to cry but without tears.
Damn it, he had clearly figured out the whole thing...
"Conan, you can't do this! Running in here will affect your father and the police's work." Ran Mouri came in and picked up Conan, and by the way, helped him touch the bump on his head.
However, at this time, Hiroki Sawada suddenly spoke to Kogoro Maori and Inspector Megure: "Uncle Maori, and Inspector Megure, Conan and I just found something on the body..."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro immediately gave him a disdainful look, "What? What do you two kids know!"
Officer Megure turned around and said sternly, "You two kids! Did you move the body without permission?"
"Conan and I know no less than the average adult." Sawada Hiroki argued, looking at Conan with a smile, "And Conan already knows the truth about this murder case... or pseudo-murder case, right?"
“…Huh? Um, ah!”
Conan looked at a loss and his eyes widened.
Damn it, is he suspected of exposing himself by doing this?
"Fake, fake murder case?" Officer Megure, who had already asked his subordinates to perform an autopsy, was stunned. "Isn't this a murder case in a closed room?"
Maori Kogoro still had that sour face: "Hey, Officer Megure, how can we believe what those kids say..."
"Inspector Megure, there should be a pool of blood under the body... That's not the blood that flowed from the back of the body, but the blood that formed when the deceased lay down..."
Hiroki Sawada simply explained what they had just discovered.
Upon hearing this, Conan immediately forgot about his concern about the identity and continued, "And there are obvious shoe prints on the chair next to the body. I think it should be the deceased's..."
"There are also water stains on the ground and dents in the floor, and the handle of the knife is at a right angle to the body..."
"The deceased committed suicide!"
Inspector Megure's eyes were wide: "Suicide?"
Maori Kogoro was speechless: "How is this possible?"
Sawada Hiroki: “……?”
He had not expected this conclusion, which was even more outrageous than a brain teaser.
Yoko Okino and her agent looked shocked.
Ayumi looked adoring: "Conan is so awesome!"
Only Mao Lilan looked at Conan in her arms in surprise, and the figure who had been missing for several days flashed through her mind...
But, suicide?
Everyone thought this statement was a bit outrageous.
However, with Conan's conclusion, Hiroki's imagination was also opened: "Conan, you are not talking about ice cubes, right?"
Conan had completely forgotten that he had to hide his identity as a child: "That's right, they used ice to fix the knife handle. The deceased stood on a chair and then fell on his back facing the ground... The ice used to fix the handle melted quickly because of the heating in the room. After the deceased fell down, he was stabbed in the back, so his body naturally turned over, forming what we see..."
Inspector Megure suddenly understood: "So that's it!"
This makes some sense...
After hearing Conan's outrageous but logically rigorous reasoning, Kogoro Mouri was dumbfounded.
Are children's logical reasoning so strong nowadays?
Wouldn't that mean he would be unemployed?
