Chapter 923 What Are You Talking About (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
The atmosphere in the bathroom was somewhat silent.
Sakaki and Kidd looked at Conan with shocked expressions. They wanted to complain, but for a moment they didn't know where to start.
height
Is it related to Conan?
Is it possible that you still want to grow again?
But Conan didn't think so. He felt that he was right. Seven years old is not the time to grow taller!
"You don't believe it?"
Conan snorted:
"I secretly asked Miss Haiyuan before, and she told me that if you don't take the antidote, your body may start to develop for the second time. In other words, you will start from scratch and everything will be overthrown and shuffled!"
"What?"
Kidd was shocked:
"According to this idea, if I take APTX48 and APTX4869 to become smaller, is it possible to grow to 180cm?"
"right!"
Conan nodded decisively:
"Because APTX4869 acts on all parts except the brain, and height is determined based on innate genes and acquired lifestyle and eating habits. Without an antidote, the body will gradually grow resistant to APTX4869 and it will grow again!"
"Will everything grow back?"
"certainly."
"Sounds very tempting."
Kidd touched his chin and looked moved.
Everyone wants to be perfect, or to be unique and different.
Kidd is no exception.
What a pity.
The side effects of APTX4869 were too great for him to accept.
If there are no side effects, you can still consider it.
Snap!
Snap!
Sakaki raised his hands, opened his bow left and right, and slapped Conan and Kidd on the head each as they were thinking:
"Don't think there are some. Height doesn't determine size."
"Is there anything wrong with wanting to grow up?!"
"Yes, but you should trust modern medicine more than placing your hopes on APTX4869, which has not undergone clinical trials."
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"What are you asking?"
"."
The three of them stared blankly for a long time, and suddenly realized that they didn't seem to be on the same channel.
There is always someone who thinks wrong, but that person is definitely not me, Sakaki and the three of them said to themselves at the same time.
After leaving the bathroom, Sakaki and the other two walked along the stairs and returned to Okino Yoko's room on the third floor.
As the scene of the crime, several police officers were left guarding the place. At this moment, the police were setting up ladders and preparing to climb to the ridge of the roof to investigate how the prisoner hung the body on it.
Since no clues were found in the bathroom, Sakaki and the other three had to change their approach to solving the case.
This case is different from most previous cases. In many previous cases, the place where the body was found was often the place where the murder was committed. As long as the criminal's modus operandi is deciphered, decisive evidence can be found.
but.
Today's case is different. Sakaki and others found the location where the prisoner killed Naoki Seiichi, but no evidence was found. According to normal reasoning, they would reach a deadlock. If they want to break the situation,
We can only go to the second ‘crime scene’, the rooftop.
After reaching the roof in the forensics class, Sakaki and the other three also climbed up.
The roof is covered with red bricks and tiles, with residual water stains after rain, and the air is very fresh.
At the edge of the roof, Sakaki found a rope. One end of the rope was tied to the body's waist. After the police carried the body down, they did not move the rope, which made it easier for the subsequent investigation.
The other end of the rope was tied to the protruding relief on the roof ridge, and it was fastened tightly. It would not be a problem to bear the weight of an adult. There were some obvious scratches on the part of the rope close to the eaves.
I looked back and forth on the roof.
Sakaki found no trace of blood.
"strangeness."
Conan muttered:
"The corpse was stabbed through the heart with a dagger. Normally, the amount of bleeding should be very large. Even if the dagger is not pulled out, there will be blood dripping during the process of carrying the corpse. The prisoner carried a corpse and climbed onto the roof. Can you keep the blood from dripping?"
"Is it possible?"
Kidd said:
"After killing Naoki Seiichi, the prisoner used something to wrap the body, such as sheets, sacks, etc., so that there would be no blood dripping when carrying it!"
"But the problem is how the prisoner managed to hang the body up quietly!"
While slapping his forehead, Conan walked back and forth. Although the rooftop view was unique, he was not in the mood to enjoy it at all.
According to their plan last night, the two main passages leading to the third floor, the central courtyard and even the outer walls were guarded. The only drawback was the corridor on the other side of the second floor, which was empty.
Taking a piece of chalk from the forensics class, Sakaki quickly sketched a few strokes on the red tiles, drawing a three-dimensional diagram of the hotel, marking the locations of the four of them last night, making the loopholes clear at a glance.
"From the beginning, our plan was to catch the prisoner while protecting Okino Yoko. Due to lack of manpower, we relaxed the surveillance on the first floor."
Tapping the chalk on the red tile, Sakaki said word by word:
"The criminal killed Naoki Seiichi in the bathroom at 3 a.m., wrapped the body in sheets or sacks, and transported it to the roof. This is the conclusion we can draw so far."
Conan and Kidd nodded with solemn expressions.
The problem lies here.
The prisoners seemed to have installed surveillance cameras on them, avoiding their sight and hanging the bodies under the eaves.
"The roof of the hotel is a separate building, with 4-5 meters between the roofs. Only the first floor is connected by a corridor. It is impossible for the criminal to cross this distance."
Conan said:
"I just checked around the roof and found no clues."
Hearing this, Kidd stood up anxiously, did a few chest expansion exercises, and just breathed two breaths of fresh air.
Suddenly, he saw a steel cableway hanging in the air not far from the hotel.
That is the cable car line used for going up and down the mountain. It is a ring structure, just like the cable cars in the ski resort. During operation, there will be more than a dozen cable cars shuttling back and forth.
"Look!"
Kid estimated the distance between the cableway and the roof, and his eyes lit up:
"The cableway is only a dozen meters away from the roof!"
"You mean the criminal used the cableway to transport the body?"
Conan and Makoto Sakaki looked at each other and said:
"How is that possible? The cable car is open from 5 am to 10 pm. Who can climb the cableway after missing this time period?"
"Me!"
"."
"Brother Kid, if you are sleepy, go down and take a nap. Leave this to us. No problem."
"I'm not kidding!"
Seeing that Makoto Sakaki didn't believe him at all, Kid got anxious, waved his arms, and gestured in the air:
"Think about it, why does the criminal have to climb to the roof to transport the body?"
"He has plenty of time to prepare!"
"As long as he can get the body out of the hotel, he can use the cableway to commit an impossible crime!"
Raising his eyebrows, Makoto Sakaki straightened up and his expression became serious:
"Tell me carefully."
