171. The murder weapon
"Okay, the photos have been taken, so let's take these pieces of cups for recycling."
“That’s right.”
The forensic personnel have begun to prepare for the final work.
Subaru Otsuya glanced at Amuro who was thinking, and said, "May I ask, did Mr. Senha step on the fragments barefoot?"
"No, he was wearing slippers at the time, just like this." The forensic officer picked up the evidence bag, which was a slipper inside, and a piece of glass pierced into the heel.
After seeing clearly, both Okinawa Subaru or Conan showed a sudden look on his face.
Officer Meguru walked over and said, "Is there any connection between the scissor function invented by Dr. Agasa on the heel?"
Okayama Subaru asked: "This broken cup should be the same as the cup placed on the washbasin, right?"
"Yes." Police Officer Meguchi nodded, "It is said to be a glass cup jointly launched by famous brand Ashisae and tableware manufacturers."
"Miss Agasa?" Dr. Agasa blinked.
"So what is the connection between cups and scissors?" Officer Megu asked.
"Sorry, I'm going to move the body through." The forensic officer interrupted him.
Everyone quickly let go, and when the stretcher passed by them, Otsuya Subaru's eyes opened.
Chen Xing sniffed his nose.
"What a sweet smell." Amuro Toru said softly.
He thought for a while and said to Officer Meguri, "There is a strange smell coming out of the body."
"It is said that for some reason, a layer of honey-like paste attached to the wound of the corpse." Police Officer Meguchi said inexplicably: "What does this honey have to do with scissors?"
Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Officer Memu, who was already confused, couldn't help but say, "If it doesn't matter, can you please leave the scene?"
He felt that one or two detectives staying on the scene would be enough. Compared to the weird combination of Mikacho and Nichome, the two brothers in the coffee shop might be more stable.
...
After walking out of the other house.
"However, this case is really bizarre."
Dr. Agasa touched his chin and said, "The victim was killed while holding scissors in his hand. There was a layer of honey attached to the wound of the body, and the faucet was still open. Even if Mr. Xianbo, who did not have a weapon on his body, was not the murderer, but how did the murderer invade this other house with iron railings in the window?"
"No." Okayama Subaru's half-open eyes showed a bit of sharpness.
Amuro lowered his head and laughed silently: "The murderer is that Mr. Senha."
"Really?" Dr. Agasa was shocked.
Conan nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Subaru Otsuya stopped talking.
"Although I even know the way of the murder, I don't have the weapon yet." Tomosa Amuro glanced at the people around him, "Have the boss discovered anything?"
"No." Chen Xing said something.
Toru Amuro was not surprised, "Although the boss is good at observation, it seems that he is still not good at reasoning."
Chen Xing didn't care: "Isn't this you?"
Subaru Okayama looked at them and thought quietly.
Conan walked towards the two bodyguards not far away and asked, "Uncle, you have done a body search on Mr. Xianbo, right?"
"That's right." The bodyguard did not neglect because he was a child.
"Are there anything strange about him at that time?" Conan asked.
"What's strange?" The flat-headed bodyguard thought for a while, and his fingers gesturing a few centimeters in length. "By the way, he brought a small doll about the size of a plastic bag."
The bodyguard next to him said, "There is also a product list with the same series of dolls printed on it. He said that it was a snack gift and would be given to his grandson as a gift, but the store seemed to be closed."
Chen Xing asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There's the wallet, handkerchief, key, etc." The flat-headed bodyguard said, suddenly remembering something, "To put it this way, when it comes to traditional snacks, there is a colorful ball that we often bought in grocery stores when we were young and suddenly flew over."
"Colorful ball?" Chen Xing couldn't think of what this thing looked like in his mind.
Because when he was in the family, he rarely went out, and occasionally he went to places like supermarkets or shopping malls, so he couldn't get in touch with grocery stores. After leaving the family, with his living conditions at that time, he didn't have the opportunity to go to grocery stores.
When Tomo Amuro, who had conducted a detailed investigation of him, he could probably guess his psychological activities at this moment when he saw his expression.
"Just before Mr. Xianbo came, the yellow ball of about such a large one had been handed over to the police." The flat-headed bodyguard had a round round with index fingers and thumbs on both hands, "But outside this wall is a park, so it was probably used by children as baseballs, although no one came to claim it in the end."
Toro Amuro asked, "Then do you remember where the ball flew to?"
"Remember, because something hit the roof and made a sound, I walked inside and took a look. I remember that I should have just rolled in this area." The bodyguard led them to the back of another house.
Toru Amuro: "Did you both leave the entrance at that time?"
Flat-headed bodyguard: "No, I'm the only one."
"Is there nothing else except colored balls?"
"Yes, there's only one ball."
Conan looked around, squatted down, and looked at the wall under the eaves, which was a small rectangular window.
"Uncle, this small window does not have iron railings. Where is the window?"
"It's in the bathroom, opposite is the dressing room, with a corridor between them." The flat-headed bodyguard said: "However, this window is so small that even children can't get in, so there is no iron railing."
Chen Xing roughly measured the narrowness of the window.
"What, do you want to try it?" Amuro asked with a smile.
Chen Xing glanced at him.
Flat-headed bodyguard: "In terms of the colored ball, the sound made at that time was very loud, bang bang bang bang."
Hearing this, Conan's expression changed - could it be that the weapon was there?
At this time, they suddenly heard the screams from Dr. Agasa.
Chen Xing turned his body and ran over, and saw Dr. Agasa jumping in front of the house.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" Conan said hurriedly.
"It's nothing, it's not a big deal." Dr. Agasa's face turned pale, panic and a little embarrassed, "It's just ants, a large group of ants lined up, and I was startled to see this scene."
On the stone steps in the yard, black ants flowed straight past.
Conan was speechless, "But Doctor, don't you have a lot of insect illustrations?"
Dr. Agasa shivered, "That's right. If it were in the photo, I could still cut it open. I thought it was a cute insect, but I still felt uncomfortable when I saw the ants moving with my own eyes."
"Cut it open?" Amuro's eyes moved.
Chen Xing followed the ant's route, which was the distance between the floor and the ground, that is, under the corridor.
Seeing his movements, Okayama Subaru's footsteps that had been raised fell back.
