Chapter 373: Footprints on the roof


   Wednesday, March 26, less than six in the evening.
   In nearly ten minutes, Maori, Ran, Conan, Megome Police Department, Mrs. Imoto, Mr. Terazawa, and Mr. Dobashi arrived on the roof of the building opposite Imoto’s house.
   Maori reached the top of the building, immediately turned on the flashlight, squatted on the ground and looked around.
The Mumu Police Department, which climbed ten floors in one breath, said out of breath: "Hey, hello, Maori, what are you looking for, what are you doing for everyone to come here? I think there should be no follow-ups here. Something related."
   "Please wait a minute, Police Department." Maori said, and after a while he stood up and asked with a smile, "Ms. Imoto, Mr. Dobashi, and Mr. Terazawa, have you three been to this place before?"
  Imoto Takako said, "How could I come to this place."
   Tetsuo Tsuchashi said, "I have never been here either."
   "I've been here." Terazawa asked, "What's the problem with this?"
   "Very good," Maori smiled confidently, then asked in surprise, "Well, Mr. Terazawa, you said you've been here?"
   "Yes, I have been here today." Terazawa said.
  Momemo Police Department asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Terazawa, what are you doing here?"
   "Practice your swing." Terazawa said, "Swing requires a spacious area, and you can't use it in the apartment."
   "So, Mr. Terazawa, the murderer of Mr. Ryusuke Imoto is indeed you," said Mori.
   "What!" The Megome Police Department asked in surprise, "Brother Maori, how can I kill Mr. Imoto here?"
   "Yes." Maori said, "Everyone, you should be able to see the victim's apartment from here, right?"
   At this time, the crooked moon has come out. Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the lighted room 701 on the opposite side.
   "You can indeed see it," the Meguro Police Department asked, "but what about seeing it?"
   Maori asked, "Police Department, are you still familiar with fishing methods?"
   "How to fish?" the Megumi Police Department said, "Uh, barely."
"When anglers are fishing, they can use a special tool called a throwing rod to throw the bait on the fishing rod tens of meters away." Mouri said, "Mr. Terazawa uses something with a little weight. Instead of the fishing bait, I swung a rod from here to let the heavy object fly to the opposite balcony and hit the victim's head." Then he lighted a footprint in front of the railing with a flashlight and said, "The shoe prints here are the best proof. "Then he said, "Mrs. Jingmoto said that Mr. Jingben was doing Taijiquan on the balcony before he was killed. One of the key points of Taijiquan is that the movements cannot be fast. It hits Mr. Imoto in the back of the head and killed the victim Mr. Imoto. Then of course he pulled the rod to retrieve the heavy object, but when the rod was pulled, the heavy object hit the balcony railing and made a clang. The voice that Mr. heard."
   "Yes, it must be so." Tetsuo Dobashi said happily.
"Another thing that Mr. Terazawa didn't calculate at all was that when he pulled back the heavy object, he accidentally knocked down a bird flying in the air." Maori laughed, "I just picked it up. That little bird of, I’m afraid it had a slight concussion.

  Momemu Police Department asked: "But, brother Maori, the balcony is about 30 meters from here to there. Is it possible for Mr. Terazawa to smash heavy objects on the victim so accurately?"
  
As long as you practice regularly, you can do it, especially for those who are usually good at fishing,
Maori asked,
I’m right, Mr. Terazawa?

"No, the police officer, even if you practice every day, no one can guarantee that you can accurately throw the bait to the designated position every time. Even if you draw a big circle, it will not work." Terazawa laughed, "Mr. Mori , If like you said, every basketball player must be a three-point shooter, and every football player must be a goalkeeper killer. In the Olympics, the scores of those shooting players will not be any higher or lower. , I think the shooting guns used by the Olympic athletes, their accuracy must not be bad."
  Momemo Police Department said: "Yes, brother Maori, Mr. Terazawa is very reasonable."
   "This," said Mori, "By the way, Mr. Terazawa, the shoe print on the shoe you are wearing now, if I'm correct, it should match the shoe print on the ground."
   "It should be." Terazawa said, "I have already said that, I have been here today to practice swinging."
   "When?" Maori asked.
   Terazawa said: "I came back after the line was disconnected, and I was here before entering the apartment."
   "In other words, when the victim was killed, you practiced swinging here," the police department Megumi asked, "then where did your fishing line break?"
   "I am a frequent visitor to the fishing grounds of the Tama River, and many people see it," said Norio Terazawa.
  Momemo Police Department asked: "Then what about the fish you caught?"
"Because of that guy Imoto, I am a fisherman now." Terazawa said, "Thanks to the heavy rain last night, I have made a small gain. After selling it, I can improve my food for a few days. "
   "I will send someone to investigate." Megome Police Department said, and then asked, "Brother Maori?"
   scratched his head, and Maori said, "By the way, check his body to see if there is that heavy object."
   The police department inspected it and found nothing.
   Mori said, "Since it is not on him, the heavy object stained with the blood of the victim Mr. Imoto must be near this building."
   "I don't know about that." Terazawa said.
   Maori said, "Also, fishing gear, see if there are blood stains."
   "Well, that's good." Megome Police Department said, "Mr. Terazawa, please let us check the fishing gear."
   Terazawa said, "That's okay." He handed over the fishing gear, and then asked the Megumi Police Department, "Police Sir, it's already past six o'clock, can I go home and eat something?"
   Tetsuo Tsuchashi said, "Yes, Sir, if there is no evidence, can you let us go back."
Terazawa said: "And maybe this was done by an outsider. The administrator is only one person, usually sitting in the concierge, reading newspapers, watching TV, and occasionally inspecting the apartment. To be honest, the entry and exit records. , And that glass door can only work for us gentlemen."
   "This..." The Megome Police Department was embarrassed.
He did what he did. Conan raised his chin and thought, something is wrong, why is he not afraid at all? That heavy object must be nearby. If you find out...wait, his fishing line broke. Then if he burns the piece of fishing line wrapped around that heavy object, there is no way to prove that the heavy object is hung on his fishing rod even if the heavy object is found. Ah, damn! What to do next? Then he muttered, "I don't know what idea that fellow Yamazaki can come up with."
   "Conan, what did you say? Yamazaki?" Lan said, "Do you know if you want to add honorifics."
   "Yes, Sister Lan." Conan said, "I mean they left without finishing the incident."
   "They are going back to help." Lan laughed, and then said, "By the way, Yamazaki seems to have asked Mei Daizi to call back and say it will be late. Why... weird."
Conan’s face changed. It turned out to be the case. I saw that the fishing line on the fishing rod that Terazawa took out was broken, and I knew that Terazawa would definitely dispose of the fishing line before returning to the apartment. I inferred that this incident might have no results. I wasted time and went away. Damn, don't say a word, that guy Yamazaki.
   At this time, there was a dog barking downstairs. Conan saw that it was a police dog. Now we can only find out the murder weapon first. There may be new clues. The problem is that with such a large scope, where will he get the murder weapon? ...
   On the other side, a little bit ahead of time, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko came out of the Imoto’s residential building,
It’s 5:26 now. Let’s run. You should be able to get home.

   "Hmm." Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, do you know who the murderer is?"
"I know, but this has developed into a relatively perfect crime. There is no evidence at all, so there is no need to stay." Yamazaki smiled, "I haven't found blood on the flowerpot yet. Basically, the murder weapon is not. Those flower pots are out, which means that the murder weapon is not at the scene. I saw the broken fishing line just now, and suddenly thought that if you tie a rock to the fishing line and then throw it with a fishing rod, then you can do it, and after recovery Pull the fishing line again, burn the fishing line on the stone, throw away the stone, there will be no flaws at all."
   "So that's the case," Mei Daizi said, "but I don't think he can be so accurate, hit the person in the head in one shot."
   "Uncle Maori is here, maybe." Yamazaki smiled.
"Well, that's right." Mei Daizi smiled, and then asked, "Yes, brother, you can actually hit the wire with a stone from the top of the building, then burn the wire and throw away the stone. Why isn't it Mr. Dobashi?"
"On the top of the building, you don’t need a rope, as long as you have a blunt object. Wasn’t he at the scene later? You can throw away the murder weapon. However, no strange fragments were found at the scene, which means that the blunt object was hit by someone It's still a whole. Mr. Dobashi obviously went there with hope. It is impossible to carry that kind of thing on his body." Yamazaki smiled, "The earliest time Mr. Dobashi left Room 701 can be estimated at four o'clock. Forty-eight points, that is to say, he has nine minutes to find the weapon, and then go to the top of the building to throw the weapon. The problem is that in that empty apartment building, the whole piece of suitable blunt weapon that can kill people is not good. Find."
   "Yes, tap," Mei Daizi said, "There must be an empty room next door."
   Yamazaki smiled and said, "Without tools, the tap is not so easy to use."
   "That's true." Mei Daizi asked, "Then what about Madam Imoto?"
   "Think about the scene on TV," Yamazaki asked, "how do those women do it?"
   "Well," Mei Daizi thought for a while and smiled, "Ah, if it's really for the family property, I won't get divorced."
   "Generally speaking, this is the case." Yamazaki smiled, "So the motivation is not enough."
   "Brother, then this incident can't be resolved?" Mei Daizi asked.
"Since he came to the apartment by himself, it means that he has handled the fishing line. And this apartment is full of empty houses. If outsiders want to be found, they will be able to climb in without being noticed, and there is no one around. It’s normal for people to see it, so there are outside criminals who have said in the past.
Yamazaki said,
So if there is no evidence, it will become a legacy incident. If you wait for one day to kill a wanted murderer and find that he has been here today, Then this incident will be placed on his head to end the incident."
   "It turned out to be like this." Mei Daizi smiled, "It seems that the police will cheat too." Then asked, "The morning incident, if the tape is not found, will it become the legend of the foggy dog?"
"In the case of the tape, Master Xiunian was actually pitted by the abbot Tianyong. The abbot Tianyong tore the tape off to make the incident look very mysterious. Master Xiu-nian only needs to wipe off the marks on the tape. That’s it. Even if you know the method, so many people are in the temple, and you can’t rule out external crimes. Those tapes don’t need to be torn off at all.
Yamazaki said,
but it’s different from this incident. When the abbot of Tianyong was strangled to death, he would definitely not be able to run. From the stranglehold, he could be seen as the murderer."
   "Lehen? Why?" Mei Daizi asked suspiciously.
   Yamazaki smiled and said, "Think about the posture, or the way, of strangling people on TV, so that there is no strangulation on the back of the neck. What is generally done."
   "Well," Mei Daizi thought for a moment and said, "Push people on the ground, across chairs or something, and carry people back to back."
   "Plus a few conditions, there are no chairs or other things in the bedroom of Abbot Tennaga, and nothing is broken, and there is nothing unusual in the nails." Yamazaki asked, "What did you say?"
   "If you don't have a chair, you won't be able to use the spacer type. If you press the floor type, there will definitely be something left between the nails." Mei Daizi laughed, "That's the piggyback type."
   "Piggyback?" Yamazaki smiled, "Okay, next, think about what the average person would do if you were picked up."
"Of course it is the person behind me," Mei Daizi said, "By the way, if it is Master Kuannian and Master Mu Nian, they will definitely be able to touch their heads, and from the bottom, they will definitely be able to touch the fat Master Tunnian. Ah, that's Master Xiunian. Only he can't be touched." Then he smiled, "By the way, there is another person, Conan, he can also."
"Conan? He can't move the abbot at all, he will be pressed down." Yamazaki laughed, and then said, "Also, by analyzing the angle of the scar on the abbot's neck, you can also determine who the murderer is. Knowing that the height and body shape are different, the angles are also different."
   Mei Daizi asked: "Then in this incident, can't it be concluded that Mr. Terazawa had fishing gear?"
"Unless the murder weapon with the fishing line is found, it is proved that the fishing line on the murder weapon is the fishing line on the fishing tackle in Mr. Terazawa's hand, or the moment someone saw Mr. Terazawa doing it," Yamazaki said, "otherwise he cannot be convicted. It’s important to know that the railing of the building next to it is almost 30 meters away from where Mr. Jingmoto fell to the ground~EbookFREE.me~ Use a fishing rod to throw the weapon on the fishing line to the head of a person 30 meters away. This kind of thing is not absolutely possible. I did it as soon as I shot it. Maybe Mr. Terazawa just wanted to scare Mr. Doi, but accidentally killed him."
"It seems that Mr. Jingmoto's luck is very bad." Mei Daizi smiled, "Yes, that bird was also bad luck and was shot down." Then he said, "No, that bird did not I have been hit, at most I have suffered a concussion when I fell."
   "It shouldn't be hit. If it hits, the bird won't survive." Yamazaki smiled, "I guess that bird might be scared to fall by a weapon that flew by."
"Scared?" Mei Daizi smiled: "By the way, this is called a bird of fright." Then Ichiro Miyamoto, who was instructing the delivery truck at the back door of the Mei Dai restaurant, shouted, "Dad!" I speeded up and ran over.
   The two greeted Ichiro Miyamoto and entered the Meidai restaurant from the back door. As soon as Meidaizi entered the door, she shouted: "Mom, I'm back." Then they ran to the front.
   Seeing Mei Daizi coming over, Miko Miyamoto smiled and asked: "I'm back, how about it, did the Wutiangu catch it?"
   Mei Daizi smiled and said, "Don't mention it, that old monk used to deceive people."
   "That's a shame." Miko Miyamoto smiled.
   "By the way, his nose is so long," Mei Daizi flicked on the tip of her nose, "It must be because of a lot of lies."
   "Well, I'll talk about these things later," Miko Miko said with a smile, "Go and change clothes."...
