Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 29
"It's cold. Conan woke up in the middle of the night.
"Xiao Jing...."What he saw was Xiao Jing who was sleeping on his side with the quilt in his arms, and because he was pulling the quilt when he was on his side, the quilt that was originally covering him was pulled aside by Xiao Jing.
"Forget it. Conan, who had planned to keep vigil, put on his clothes again and went downstairs to have a look.
"Conan, aren't you sleeping yet?" asked Doi Tower when he saw Conan.
"I fell asleep when I came, and now I can't sleep, so I'll come down and see, is there anything unusual?" Conan said with an excuse.
"No, maybe the prisoner has already left. Araku said.
"It's even colder at night, so I'm going to boil the kettle water. Sugale looked at the teapot and said that there was no more water in it.
"Let's be together, just to be on the safe side. Doi Ta said and followed.
"Damn!" Doi Tower, who went to the kitchen, ran out immediately after a short time, opened the door and ran outside.
"What's wrong!" Conan, who noticed that Doi Tower's expression was serious, immediately followed.
Far away from the house, Mr. Hamano was discovered, relatively close to the trees.
"Mr. Ara, please call everyone up immediately!" Doi Tata said as he walked over to Hamano and made sure he was dead.
"Don't go over. Conan stopped the scythe who also wanted to go over at this time.
"He's dead. "When everyone gathered in the hall after being woken up, they had already identified the Doi Tado in Hamano's room with Conan and Suka.
And around him, there were only footprints that Mr. Doi had examined, and no one else's footprints. Conan said.
"Could it be that the prisoner will not be able to fly? Tanaka was surprised.
That is, is it impossible to sin. Xiao Jing said.
"But Mr. Hamano's must have been killed, he has strangulation marks on his neck, and the murderer must have used some kind of technique. "Doi Tado.
"The door to Hamano's room is unlocked, and the balcony and the door to the room are also open. Conan followed.
"What about the possibility of an external invasion?" asked Xiao Jing.
"There are no traces of prying open the door and door lock, and the preliminary judgment is not an external invasion. "Conan Road.
"Isn't the door open, did he go to the balcony and be attacked and fall down?" said the garden.
"That doesn't explain why he was strangled to death, and I didn't find any injuries when I looked at him, and besides, there must have been a sound from the fall from the second floor, and the three of us must have heard it in the hall all the time. Doi Tata denied.
"When I went to the bathroom, I heard Mr. Hamano's voice, and he seemed to say, "It's you." Xiao Jing remembered at this time.
"When?" Conan immediately asked.
"I don't know, I didn't turn on the lights when I got up. I also heard him coming from the room near the bathroom. Xiao Jing said.
"That means the killer could be one of us!" Doi said.
"I can fly, and I can disappear at any time?" Tanaka muttered.
"Isn't Hamano's death a confirmation of Shadow Mage's words, sure enough, the murderer is still Shadow Mage!" Kuroda said immediately after hearing Tanaka's words.
"Hey, hey. Xiao Jing walked to Doi Tower's side at this time, and poked Doi Tower's leg with her finger because of the height difference.
"What's wrong?" Doi asked, turning.
"Do you know how to stop?" asked Xiao Jing.
"What's that?" asked Doi Ta, puzzled.
"Well, nothing. Xiao Jing looked at his expression as if he really didn't know, and knew that he had guessed wrong.
"Did you find anything just now?" asked Conan, who had spotted Shizu's conversation with Doi Tower, quietly walked over and asked.
"It's nothing, I thought it was a stoppage at first, just an anti-tracking technique that follows the footprints when you come and goes back. Xiao Jing explained.
"Indeed, if it was Mr. Doi, he could have done this crime with a stop, he was the first to rush over, just be careful and step on his own footprints on the snow to go to Hamano's side to complete the crime. "
And the deeper footprints formed by the repeated stampedes can also be used as an excuse for weight. Xiao Jing looked at Conan and continued.
"Mr. Ara, did anyone leave when you were in the hall?" Conan had already opened his mouth to investigate.
"I went to the toilet when I first started, and Sugama and Mr. Doi Ta just went to boil the water and didn't leave. "Ridiculous road.
"It's a pity. "This is clear proof that Doi Tower did not have the time to commit the crime.
"That's something else. Conan said.
"I don't know what method was used, but the murderer will definitely leave traces. Just now, because everyone didn't wake up, they didn't search carefully, so how about we search together now. While everyone is here now, the murderer will certainly not have time to dispose of all traces if he is among us. Xiao Jing suggested.
"Her father was a detective, and I thought it was a good proposal. Doi Tata agreed.
"Look, this forest is full of footprints, isn't it?" Kuroda pointed to the wooded road not far from Hamano.
"Really, so much, sure enough, the Shadow Mage is staring at us from the outside!" said Tanaka.
"Ahh
"I'm sorry, subconsciously...."The garden first picked up Xiao Jing and then apologized to Xiao Jing.
"It's okay, I'm very thick dressed by my sister. Xiao Jing casually patted the remaining snow trail on her body.
"What do you see that?" said Mr. Ara, as if he had noticed something.
"Bow and crossbow!" Xiao Lan also noticed with Mr. Ara's voice.
"I've found the murder weapon. Xiao Jing didn't lean over and said.
"Bows and arrows have been found here, too!" the garden found as it slapped the snow on its body.
"Ahh At this time, Tanaka also fell, and it seemed that the snow was not thick but still very slippery.
"Let's go over there and have a look. "Everyone is going to continue to search the neighborhood to give everyone a sense of security because the killer has discarded the bow and arrow.
"Conan is gone. At this time, Xiao Jing saw Conan in a daze next to a tree and reminded.
"Oh, okay. Conan immediately followed the large force.
"There's a hole in that tree. Conan thought for a moment and told Jing what he had just discovered.
"Isn't it normal for an insect or animal to make a hole in a tree?"
"The hole is very regular, it's like an arrow was shot. "Conan Road.
"How powerful is a small bolt. At this time, Xiao Jing saw the crossbow arrow held by Mr. Ara.
"Arrows have been found here, too!" said the voice of the garden from afar.
"There's something strange about this arrow. The garden approached.
Conan immediately ran over when he heard the garden say something strange.
"Well, do you know the technique? "After a round of searching, I found only a crossbow and a bow and arrows.
"There are already eyebrows, and that particular bow and arrow must be there to complete a certain technique. Conan said with a look of confidence.
"So what is a technique?" Xiao Jing immediately asked.
"I don't know yet, but it's been confirmed, and the prisoner is among these people!" Conan said directly.
"Oh, you're right. Xiao Jing said speechlessly.
"You don't need to know the trick, I'll show you right away!" After saying that, Conan ran outside to find some clues, and boasted about Haikou before leaving.
"Danger!" Miss Kuroda said immediately, noticing Conan's movements.
"It's okay, the prisoner is no longer outside. Xiao Jing said.
"How do you know?" Kuroda said in obvious disbelief.
"For the prisoners are among us. Xiao Jing continued to speak in amazement.
"What do you say!".
"Anyway, let's sit here for a while, and I'll tell you the truth when Conan returns. Well, bet on my father's name!" Xiao Jing was very helpless about her words in her heart, who told Conan to run out suddenly, you let Xiao Jing suddenly think of a reason to perfunctory for a while, completely unexpected.
"How's Conan. As soon as Conan entered, he noticed that everyone's eyes were wrong.
"It's been determined. Conan replied.
"Wait a minute. Saying that, Xiao Jing directly pulled Conan aside.
"Speed tell me the reasoning, just now you ran out I have already boasted that the case is solved. "
"Why are you more anxious than me?".
"Do you think it's anyone? Xiao Jing looked at the past with an unkind look.
After that, Conan quickly repeated his reasoning.
"Can it really work? "
"No problem!" Conan assured.
"Please stay here for now, Sister Yuanzi come over for a while. "
"What's the matter, Xiaojing, you say you know who the prisoner is, is it true?" asked Yuanzi.
"Nine times out of ten, please go and set up something with Conan. "
"Mr. Ara, please join Sister Yuanzi as well. "
"Oh, okay. Probably because Xiao Jing was very mature at the beginning, everyone was not surprised that she wanted to reason.
"Wait a minute, then. With that, Conan and Mr. Sonoko and Mr. Araku went to the lying storage room and immediately went upstairs.
About ten minutes later.
"Ahh
"What's the matter!" Mr. Sugama immediately got up and ran upstairs, followed by the others.
"It's the cry of the garden just now!" Xiaolan's voice to her friend was naturally clear.
"This way. Xiao Jing pointed to the room that was originally Xiaolan and Yuanzi.
"Garden, are you alright?" Xiaolan said immediately after opening the door.
"Ah, here you are!"
"Smack!" the sound of the window being shattered rang out as a bow and arrow shot into the wall.
"Here we go again!" Kuroda saw the bow and arrow, thinking that the Shadow Mage was attacking them again.
"I don't have to worry about it this time. Yuan Zi said easily, and walked to the gate and opened it.
"Smack!" was heard again this time with the sound of windows being shattered.
"Voices from downstairs!" said Sugale, intending to run downstairs.
"Please wait a minute. Xiao Jing, who was walking at the back, stopped everyone from planning to go down.
"That's right, don't worry about it this time!" the garden repeated.
"Just now we just recreated the attack that Miss Tanaka encountered. Mr. Ara also said.
"It's the same as what Miss Tanaka met, right, Mr. Doi Ta. "Little Landau.
"That's right. Doi Pagoda nodded.
"Could it be that the prisoner?!" Sugama looked at Tanaka with a suspicious look.
"That's right, this is Miss Tanaka's method to eliminate her suspicions, and to make everyone think that the prisoner is an outsider. "Garden Road.
The method is also very simple, just use a staplactor to nail a zero hour fulcrum on the top of the balcony, then tie a stone to estimate the distance between the fulcrum and the window, and then wrap the line around the pillar of the balcony above and fix the line through the matle door to the bed board under the clothes. The crossbow can be covered by clothes because it is small, and as long as you cut the fixed line and then take the crossbow out of the clothes and shoot it in the back, it creates the illusion of shooting from the outside to the bottom up. The garden said and showed the people the mechanism they had set up.
"And what about down there, arrows coming in from below, aren't they?" Tanaka argued.
"The mechanism below is the same as the one above, but it is pulled from the bottom to the door to fix it, and as soon as the door is opened, the mechanism is touched, isn't the room below also broken by stones?"
"What about the arrows?".
"The arrow was shot a long time ago, and the bathroom didn't boil hot water because I told everyone not to act rashly, so it became a state that was not needed. If you shoot an arrow in advance, you won't be noticed. Xiao Jing said.
"When I come back to the case, because the downstairs is attacked again and everyone rushes downstairs, Miss Tanaka has more time to clean up here. Since no one has gone out, these things should still be in Miss Tanaka's room or thrown outside, as long as the police come and search them tomorrow. Xiao Jing said.
"It's just your guess, isn't it normal for there to be wires in the room, and besides, didn't we find the murder weapon and the prisoner's footprints outside?" Tanaka continued.
"That's right, so that's just my reasoning. Next, I want to explain the murder weapon and footprints, so please go with me on the spot. He walked out of the room.
"Mr. Araku found the bow and crossbow at about this location, right?" Xiao Jing said, pointing to the place where there was still a mark on the ground.
"That's right. "
"It's very simple, everyone came to search and was just abandoned here by Miss Tanaka, this route from us is not very far, is it?" explained Xiao Jing.
"Footprints can be made in advance, and as long as we don't knock on the door when we come, we won't be able to spot them if Mr. Ara doesn't look out. Conan added at this time.
"Yes, exactly. "
"These are all your guesses, and there is no evidence to prove that your conjecture cannot say that I am a murderer, even if you are a child. Tanaka said.
"And the killing of Mr. Hamano.," Kuroda followed.
"Indeed. "Araku is also a little uncertain.
"Then the most important part, to be honest, I didn't find a way to carry the corpse, but I know how the prisoner can identify himself without saying anything and be greeted by Hamano. Xiao Jing made a silent gesture with a gesture and continued to explain.
"I was so confident in my hearing that I was sure that I only heard Mr. Hamano's voice, so why did Mr. Hamano still say, 'It's you?'
"I know, because it's someone I know, but how can I be sure of my identity if I don't say anything through the door?"
"It's very simple, just use the paper with the cross on the back of the Doi Tower's name, that's right, Tanaka-sama. Xiao Jing turned her head and looked at him.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Tanaka tilted his head and said without looking at Xiao Jing.
"The magic that Mr. Hamano-chan prepared for the party today, the mechanism is to write down your name and hand the paper to Sister Sonoko. "
"But I'm the one who wrote the circled triangle. The garden wondered.
"As long as the paper handed to Sister Yuanzi is a circle and a triangle that has been written, and the pen given to Sister Yuanzi can't write. Conan helped explain.
"Yes, because my eyes are covered, I can't know these gardens, and I can't determine the shape of the triangle by myself, and when I see the pattern on the paper, I really think that I drew it. Xiao Jing said.
"Having said all that, these are all your guesses. The most important thing: Mr. Hamano's death, didn't you say nothing? It's really like you just said, it's possible for anyone to hand over this piece of paper, isn't it?".
"There is a real possibility that it is not Tanaka, who was an assistant at that time, but someone else. It's you, it's probably because you saw something you didn't expect, and as a lawyer, you're definitely defending it. Xiao Jing said to herself.
"yes, you know it yourself. Tanaka also said after seeing Xiao Jing admit it.
"But. I've found more reliable evidence. Xiao Jing walked over to a tree.
"This is the arrow that Sister Yuanzi just discovered. Xiao Jing pointed to the arrow with a circular coil tied to its tail.
"I think that the appearance of this arrow here must have something to do with carrying Mr. Hamano's corpse. Without knowing the method, I made a conjecture. Xiao Jing pointed to the arrow.
"Mr. Sugama, please pull out the arrow. "
"The arrow holes left there are the same as here, which means that there were arrows stuck in this place, but now they are gone. Xiao Jing walked back to a tree in the opposite direction.
"And where did the arrow go? The answer is that it was recovered by Miss Tanaka, and the arrow that the tall Mr. Sugama had to pull out with great effort just now must have been pulled out with both hands and pulled it back, and you came up with it when you saw the garden fall and then zero. Xiao Jing speculated to herself.
"Because the arrow will expose the way to carry Mr. Hamano, Sister Tanaka will definitely not be able to throw it away at will, and we have been with everyone since then, and we have not found any other arrows with coils other than that arrow. Then the best hiding place on Sister Tanaka's body is in the boots of the big sister. The young lady pointed out.
"Words of motivation. Jing looked at Conan.
Conan didn't react.
"The motivation is. "
Conan didn't react.
"The motive is to escape what the king and Mr. Hamano said in the chat room that you can't let go. The Shadow Mage is probably you. Xiao Jing had no choice but to guess based on her own thoughts.
"But she's chatted with the Shadow Mage in the chat room. Kuroda said.
"All you need is two phone lines. "In Xiao Jing's previous life, this kind of trumpet is relatively common.
"That's right, both of them are me. Tanaka took the arrow out of his boot.
"Because the appearance of this child disrupted my original plan, I originally used Hamano's magic to make Hamano plan the event as the head of the event and return to the house, and then used me to boil water and kill him at that time. Maybe that's fate, I met you who weren't supposed to be here. Tanaka looked at Conan and then at Shizu.
"And if I hadn't recovered the arrows in my panic, I wouldn't have been spotted here. "
"It's only a matter of time before you find your way to carry the body, and you won't be able to escape during the search after the police show up. Fingerprints, bloodstains, hair, DNA and even staple holes that have just been found in the reasoning will become evidence that locks you step by step. Xiao Jing denied Tanaka's words.
"That's right, and I already know how to carry it. At this time, Doi Ta said.
"Wait a minute, is Mr. Ara's crossbow still there?"
"Still in bed. "
"I've borrowed this bow and arrow for the time being. I don't know when I put on my gloves, and after saying that, I quickly ran to Mr. Hamano's room and waved to everyone on the balcony.
"First pass this rope through the coil, then attach two more ropes to this rope, and tie the middle rope to the balustrade of the balcony. "
"Get out of the way, I'm going to shoot the tree over there. "
Then he shot two arrows at the trees on both sides, because he tied a rope in the middle of the rope, and after shooting two pieces, the rope was like a triangle with two middle lines in the middle.
"After that, tie the victim's leash on a line like this, taking care to tie it underneath. As he spoke, he used a quilt instead of Hamano to slide down the midline.
"This creates a carcass that doesn't leave any traces. Doi Ta said.
"Wait, wouldn't such a rope leave a mark on the ground?" said Sugama.
"No, just re-tie the middle line to one arrow and shoot it, and cut the other two ropes as you shoot it, like this. "
Because both sides of the rope are cut at the same time, the rope in the middle line passes directly through the belt with the rope on both sides and is carried away by the flying arrows.
"In that case, the rope and the arrows tied to it should be nearby. Conan said.
"He's right, it's a magic trick I came up with when my grandfather was alive. Tanaka said.
"Grandpa?".
"My grandfather died because of your boring chat, and he used my ID to chat with you, and then he himself used the stupid boy's ID to chat with us. It was half a year ago when I talked about how you wanted to see the previous escape magic, and he said that he wanted to challenge it again. Before the performance, he told me that he was going to say in the chat room after the show: "I've finally finished the show, is the previous magic still good?".
"But that...."Kuroda hesitated to say or not.
"That's what my grandfather wants to do, and I don't resent you for anything, but after my grandfather's death, I can't forgive Mr. Nishiyama and Mr. Hamano for still joking about my grandfather's death. Tanaka said with his motives.
"But it's amazing, this is a magic trick that my grandfather and I have been thinking about for a few days, but he has seen it in a short time. And he was the only one who knew my grandfather's identity in the chat room, and he sent a letter of encouragement the day before his grandfather's performance. Tanaka said and looked at the Doi Tower on the balcony.
"Probably because they're all magicians. Conan replied.
"Magician?".
"I should have noticed it sooner. Doi Tucker Tree is just a pseudonym, and the words are reversed. "
"Lord Kidd!" Kidd had already taken off his disguise and stood on the balcony by the time Conan was about to speak, and the garden let out an excited cry.
"Kidd, the thief, why are you here?" Mr. Araku asked, puzzled.
"I just wondered why the stupid boy who had died still came here to chat in the chat room, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Kidd explained.
"Hello Kidd. At this time, Xiao Jing opened the door of Mr. Hamano and said to Kidd inside.
"Huh, you found me before that kid?" said Kidd oddly.
"No, I didn't know you were Kidd, but I thought you were suspicious when I touched your leg and found that it wasn't a muscle but a balloon-like feeling. Xiao Jing said.
"By the way, how do you know that the stupid boy is the magician?" asked Xiao Jing curiously.
"Because his first performance was by the name of the silly boy. Kidd explained.
"It's really trendy, and Kidd also uses the Internet to chat. As she spoke, Jing approached Kidd and reached for the bag he was carrying.
"You're not going to want to catch me like that kid, are you?" Kidd joked.
"No, no, I'm not a detective. Xiao Jing shook her hand.
"Please sign here, and here. Xiao Jing took out a pen and a small notebook inside, found the all-white page, pointed to it, and handed it to Kidd.
"Thank you. Xiao Jing saw that Kidd didn't take it and took another step closer.
"There's really no way. Kidd took the brush and signed it as if he had no choice but to do so.
"Kidd!" At this time, Conan, Yuanzi and the others also ran up.
"See you next time. With that, Kidd jumped out, surrounded by smoke, and when the smoke cleared, Kidd had already opened his glider and flew into the air.
"Lord Kidd!" Yuan reluctantly stretched out her hand on the balcony, and Xiaolan hugged her desperately to prevent her from falling.
"Ah, my Lord Kidd. My Lord Kidd!Why didn't I find out!!," the garden cried as she gulped down her drink.
"This, this, this, how. Xiao Jing took out a Kidd's signature left and right, and pointed to the menu with her right hand and said to the garden.
"Deal!".
"Xiao Jing!" Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly.
"When did you get it?" asked Conan.
"While you're talking to Kidd, I'm already at the door. Xiao Jing said.
"You found out a long time ago?" Conan asked in surprise at this time.
"No, I just think that the reasoning is over, Miss Tanaka confessed, and I'm not interested in the technique, so it's so cold outside, I want to go back to my room to sleep. "
"Really?".
"Did I lie to you for any good?".
Conan thought about it carefully, as if Xiao Jing's character would really do this, so he didn't ask questions.
