Chapter 876 The answer told by the shadow
Chapter 876 The Answer from Shadow
Just as Conan said, the smoke rising from the mountains was very conspicuous. Yuya and Sera Masumi were observing the scene, but Miyano Shiho saw it at a glance.
She quickly pointed in that direction and shouted, "Look, there's smoke over there!"
Shancuncao disagreed, saying that many people here would light campfires, so this phenomenon was very common.
Yuya turned around and looked around, and sure enough, he saw smoke rising from several other places.
Just at this moment, a police officer brought the three suspicious men over.
Yuya looked back at the smoke and frowned slightly.
Yamamura Cao began to ask the three people's names, occupations and the purpose of their visit.
The first person to speak was a young man wearing a knitted hat and a pink coat. His name was Mi Zhushudao and he was a freelancer.
He said he was going to camp here with his friends next week, so he came here in advance to check out the campsite.
Next is the squinty-eyed man wearing glasses, his name is Usaki Tiaozo, he is a photographer by profession, taking pictures at various camping areas in Neon.
The last one is a college student named Yan Wei Mengye. His purpose of coming here is to take landscape photos and upload them to his blog.
Yuya tried to call Conan again, but still couldn't get through.
He said in a deep voice: "If it was Conan, he would definitely find a place with a signal to contact us."
Sera Masumi guessed, "If they are still being chased by the murderer and have no time to make a phone call, then it means that the murderer is not one of these three people?"
She crossed her arms and said in a deep voice, "The worst case scenario is that they have been killed by one of the three..."
Youye immediately denied this speculation. According to the three-choice principle in the scientific world, these three people would not appear here for no reason, and the murderer must be one of them.
Conan and the others should still be alive, but they are blocked by the murderer somewhere and have no way to escape, so they cannot be contacted.
In any case, what they can do now is to find the murderer, and the fastest way is to directly ask him where the children are.
At least these three people should be left here so that there will be enough time for the search team to find the children.
At this time, Miyano Shiho, who had been to the camp, came back.
She walked over to Yuya and whispered a few words.
"What did you say? I took the wrong one?!" Youye widened his eyes.
Miyano Shiho nodded and lowered her voice and said, "What you gave Conan was a medicine box, and the anesthetic is still in the bag..."
A drop of sweat the size of a bean flowed down Yuya's back. He was wondering why Conan and the others were chased away by the murderer. It turned out that he had confused the box that Miyano Shiho usually kept her medicine in with the box that kept the spare anesthetics.
What was given to Conan was a box of medicine! Not anesthetic!
When Sera Masumi heard Yuya's scream, he looked over with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Yuya smiled awkwardly, "Mio just checked back at the camp, and the children's detective badges are all in their bags. There is no way to find their location through the transmitter."
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the magic of the detective badge and sighed with some regret.
Miyano Shiho looked up at the sky, then looked down at the back of her, and said worriedly: "The shadows are so long, it will be dark soon. If before dark..."
"Shadow?" Yuya and Sera Masumi were stunned at the same time, and a flash of lightning flashed through their minds.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"So that's what happened."
Yuya walked towards Yamamura Sou and said, "Now that we know who the murderer is, let's find him." Sera Masumi followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Miyano Shiho hurriedly followed.
Seeing Yuya coming over, Yamamura Sou hurriedly said, "Detective Kamiya, we have confirmed that the feet of these three people are all 26 centimeters long. There is no way to identify the murderer using footprints."
Yuya nodded to show that he understood. He looked at the three suspects and said, "Everyone, can you let me see your other hand?"
The three of them were stunned and looked at Youye with a puzzled expression.
Yuya said, "Michiya and Mr. Yanweimengye, you two have only used your left hand since the beginning. If I am not mistaken, you are left-handed, right? Can you let me see your right hand?"
The two looked at each other, and although they were a little confused, they still stretched out their right hands generously. There were no scars on them. At the same time, it also confirmed what Yuye said that they were both left-handed.
Yuya nodded slightly, and then looked at Usaki Tiaosan: "On the contrary, Mr. Usaki just used his right hand to adjust his glasses several times. I guess you are right-handed?"
Usaki Tiaosan heard this and without much hesitation stretched out his left hand: "You want to see your left hand, right? Here you go, there are no scars."
Yuya smiled faintly: "I see, but, Mr. Usaki, do you know that the murderer is right-handed?"
"What?" Usaki Tiaosan was stunned.
Yamamura Misao asked in confusion: "Detective Kamiya, how did you know?"
Yuya explained: "It's very simple, because the wound on the victim's back was cut from the upper right to the lower left, which means that the criminal is right-handed; at the same time, the two footprints closest to the pit are the left foot in front and the right foot in the back. Only a right-handed person would leave such footprints in order to dig a hole."
Shancuncao gestured with his hands, imitating the action of digging a hole, and at the same time observed his feet and found that it was indeed the case.
He suddenly realized, pointed at Usaki Tiaosan and said, "So, this person is the murderer?!"
Usaki jumped up and cried out in injustice: "Wait, wait a minute, please stop messing around, aren't there right-handed people everywhere? And," he turned around to look at the other two and said meaningfully, "It's possible that the two of them concealed the fact that they are left-handed and deliberately used their right hands, right?"
"And isn't there another possibility that the criminal is still hiding in this mountain?"
"But," Yuya crossed his arms and looked at him sharply, "you should be the only right-handed person wandering in the mountains at the time of today's incident and with the last name Usaki, right?"
"What, what?" Usaki Tiaosan looked at Yuya in surprise. Being looked at by him like this, it was as if all his secrets were seen through. Cold sweat began to break out on his back involuntarily.
Yamamura Cao was very puzzled: "Detective Kamiya, how do you know the murderer's last name is Usaki?"
You didn't say anything extra, and asked directly: "Do you still remember the death message left by the deceased?"
Yamamura Cao nodded: "Remember, that strange hand gesture that I don't know what it meant?"
Yuya: "It's actually very simple. Just make the same gesture as the deceased, and then shine a light on it..."
He looked at Miyano Shiho, who understood immediately, took out her cell phone, turned on the flashlight, walked in front of Yuya and shone it on his hand.
Under Yamamura Cao's astonished gaze, Youya left a shadow on the tree trunk with his hands, and the image of that shadow was exactly a rabbit.
"Rabbit? Rabbit, Usagi?!" Yamamura Cao shouted excitedly.
