Chapter 585 The Dead on the Garbage Dump
Youya followed the crowd and came to the side of a road with upper and lower floors. As expected, a murder had occurred here.
Moreover, since he met Eri Kisaki, then... Conan and the Mori father and daughter should also be present.
The hard-working Inspector Megure and the honest policeman Takagi Wataru have also arrived.
Youya stood by and listened for a while, and roughly understood what happened.
When Kogoro Mori was driving past here, he heard the sounds of objects colliding and falling. When he got out of the car to check, he found a dead person on the garbage pile on the side of the road at the bottom.
In addition, when Conan discovered the body, he heard some clicking sounds, but it is not known what these sounds mean.
When Conan and his companions got off the car, they did not see anyone nearby, which means that the body was thrown from the upper road to the garbage dump at the bottom.
The deceased was a fighter named Nagasaku Shiro, weighing 90 kilograms, who was preparing to challenge the latest fighting championship.
However, the fighter's neck had been slashed and he was lying on the garbage dump without a sound.
"From the marks on the wound, it seems that his neck was cut from behind. To approach a fighter from behind with a sharp weapon and dump the body in the garbage dump, he must be a very agile and muscular man."
Inspector Megure pondered and nodded.
"If we only consider cutting the throat, even a woman can do it." Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded.
Inspector Megure and his companions looked over and found a familiar figure squatting next to the body. After seeing clearly, they all showed surprised expressions: "Brother Kamiya?"
"Yuya?"
"Detective boy?"
Yuya looked up and greeted with a smile: "Oh, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence..." Inspector Megure's face darkened, "Why are you here?"
He glanced at Kogoro Mouri, then at Yuya, and thought to himself, no wonder a murder could happen so late at night, it turned out that there were two detective Shinigami here.
Of course, Yuya didn't know that Inspector Megure was criticizing him, so he explained, "Mio and I were getting our hair cut nearby, and I noticed something seemed to be going on here, so I came over to take a look."
He looked at Maori Kogoro: "Uncle Kogoro, didn't you make an appointment with Aunt Eri for dinner? Why are you here?"
Kogoro Mouri was stunned: "I just happened to pass by here..." He would never say that he came here specially to pick someone up!
Then he suddenly realized: "No, how did you know about this?"
Yuya: "We happened to be in a beauty salon with Aunt Eri..."
"Hmm, cough!" Inspector Megure suddenly coughed and said with empty eyes, "Let's talk about the pleasantries later. Let's solve the case first?"
With two famous detectives here, I should be able to get off work early today, right? Inspector Megure thought secretly.
Inspector Megure said: "In any case, if we are sure that the deceased is a fighter, we should start investigating his colleagues who have grievances with him."
"Wait a minute, Inspector Megure." Yuya suddenly interrupted his order, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Let's start by investigating the nearby beauty salons and barber shops."
"Huh? Why?" Inspector Megure looked at Yuya in surprise.
Yuya pointed at the body and said, "Didn't you notice? In addition to the blood on the deceased's neck, there are also a lot of fine hairs, and there are some wool mixed in the blood near the wound, so I guess that the deceased was wiped from the back while getting his hair done."
Inspector Megure's eyes narrowed.
Takagi Wataru hurried forward to check and reported loudly: "Inspector Megure, it is indeed as Yuya-kun said. There are many fine hairs on the neck of the deceased, and there are also broken wool threads on the wound."
"I see," Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and pondered, "If it was a barber, then even if he approached the neck from behind with a sharp weapon, it would not arouse the victim's vigilance. He would just think it was a barber's tool."
Takagi Wataru looked at Inspector Megure and said, "In that case, I will go to the nearby area to investigate and see if there is anyone who meets the requirements."
"Then ask her. Maybe that big sister knows!" Conan suddenly said, turning his head to look at someone in the crowd. "Because that big sister is a hairdresser, am I right?"
Takagi Shigeru knows that Conan is not an ordinary little kid. He often follows Kogoro Mouri and Yuya, and sometimes even he is ashamed of himself when it comes to reasoning.
He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is that so?"
Youya looked up and after seeing the person clearly, he was stunned: "Ms. Kaidai?"
Conan looked over in surprise: "Do you know her?"
Youya nodded: "I guess so, I just had my hair cut in her beauty salon..." He glanced around and saw Miyano Shiho and Kisaki Eri standing next to Yezaka Kaiyo, and it seemed that their hair had been trimmed.
Mao Lilan also saw her mother and called out "Mom" with some surprise!
Maori Kogoro shouted in surprise: "Eri, why are you here too?"
Fei Yingli said with empty eyes: "Should I be the one asking this question? If I remember correctly, you should be waiting for me at the restaurant we agreed to meet at right now, right?"
Maori Kogoro snorted, crossed his arms and turned his face away, saying: "It's just a coincidence..."
Kisaki Eri didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at Conan with a smile: "But Conan can tell that she is a hairdresser?"
Conan felt a little guilty and laughed dryly: "Because I saw that this sister had calluses on the second joint of the ring finger on her right hand."
Takagi Shigeki immediately asked and examined Hasaka Minashiro's right hand, and sure enough, he found calluses on the knuckles where Conan had found them.
Conan continued: "That's because barbers often use their ring fingers to pass through the ring of the scissors to hold the handle, and over time, these scissor calluses will be left behind!"
"I see."
"Also, if you look closely, you can see that her nails are more brown, probably because she often uses hair dye."
"Hey, Conan, you know a lot." Kisaki Eri smiled slightly and praised with narrowed eyes.
Conan felt a chill on his back and laughed awkwardly: "These are all taught to me by Brother Yuya."
Youya: ? If you want to show off, just show off. Don’t always use me as a shield, okay?
Maori Kogoro glanced at Yuya and said, "What on earth are you teaching a kid, kid?"
Yuya's mouth twitched slightly: "Well, Conan is quite smart and is very interested in reasoning, so I will teach him something whenever I have time."
He squatted down and rubbed Conan's head vigorously: "Am I right, little Conan?"
"Yes, yes, hahahaha..." Conan rolled his eyes. With so many people here, he didn't dare to knock off Yuya's claws as he usually did. He could only force himself to accept his caress.
