The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1061 How to identify the white powder on the corpse? Just lick it and you will know
Conan turned around with a hint of resentment in his eyes. He was right. Don't say it next time.

I finally got the chance to show off, but it was snatched away just like that!
But you can still find some leaks and install them!

Conan thought so in his heart, carefully examined the body, and then said in a deep voice: "In addition to the clothes, the bones of this body are also very strange. There is a layer of white powder on the bones."

"This powder doesn't look like the calcium that falls off bones. It has a bit of air-dried hardness. I think it should be something like quicklime."

"This may be the murderer's way of making the body decay quickly. After all, quicklime releases heat after absorbing moisture. If the body is exposed in the wild, just sprinkle quicklime on it and it will heat up with the help of moisture in the air and rainwater, thus making the body decay quickly and making it impossible to determine the time of death."

As he spoke, he poked the white powder on the bones with his fingers, then stuck it on his fingers and twisted it with his index finger and thumb.

Subconsciously, I wanted to lick it to make sure it was lime.

Then, I thought, this thing seemed to be placed on the corpse...

It's not a good idea to put it in your mouth, right?

Thinking this in his mind, Conan gave up the idea.

Fujino stared at Conan silently, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and he fell into deep thought.

So, could it be that this kid wanted to try something new just now?

No, this stuff is more or less sticky with the body fluids of the corpse, plus decayed biological tissues.

I feel sick even when I touch something like this, and you actually want to try it?
As expected of you! Kekinan who even dares to lick the white powder!
You accidentally exposed your true identity, right?
"But whose body is this?"

"Could it be that the missing Mr. Kawano's?"

"how could it be possible……"

The little ones were unusually calm. Even the frightened Ayumi got up from the ground, brushed off the weeds on her skirt and pantyhose, and started thinking.

Fujino glanced at Ayumi, and remembering that she had just touched the skull, he immediately reminded her:
"Ayumi, don't put your hands near your mouth. I don't know how long the body has been there. There might be viruses."

“Eh…eh?!”

"I brought some alcohol. Wash your hands with it first."

"Thank you, Brother Fujino!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the body of Kawano Masao!"

Ayumi rinsed her hands with alcohol, and just as Fujino put away the alcohol bottle, Conan, who was working at the crime scene, discovered a new clue:
"Look, this ring has Etsuko or Maao's name engraved on it. It must be the engagement ring of Nonomiya Etsuko and Kawano Maao."

"I guess he must have desperately hidden here after falling off the cliff!"

"It's to prove that I was murdered!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked and saw Conan lifted a nearby stone and felt around underneath it to find a clue.

A box of cigarettes and a ring.

Fujino looked at Conan who had returned from the jungle with a full load, and was speechless.

So how did you come up with the idea of ​​turning over stones? It would have been fine if you had just turned over the stones, but how come you actually found something?

The death message was a box of cigarettes with six cigarettes in it.

Two of the cigarettes were broken, leaving only the butts.

Fujino looked up at the towering cliff, which was estimated to be about 20 to 30 meters high, with his eyes wide open.

Even after falling from such a high place, there was still time to leave a message of death.

Mr. Kawano is really lucky.

It should be said that people in the world of science have abnormal physiques - even after their blood has been drained out, they can still leave behind some strange secret codes before dying.

What I mean is, is it possible for you to take out your cell phone and directly send a text message or make a call?
Fujino took out his cell phone and took a look.

Well, there is no signal here at all. So, the signal penetration rate in Japan is ridiculous. If it was half as high as in China in the past, there would be base stations wherever there are people, and this wouldn't have happened.

Fujino decisively took out his satellite phone and called the police.

"But, since Kawano is dead, who sent the invitation?"

"Could it be that Kawano turned into a monster and emitted that sound?"

"very scary……"

When Guangyan suddenly mentioned this matter, the children felt that it was a bit spooky. How could a dead person send out invitations? Unless he turned into a ghost!

"How is this possible? Kawano died a year ago. The invitation must have been sent by the person who found the body."

Haibara Ai was extremely helpless about the inexplicable naivety of the little ones. They were obviously not afraid of seeing a corpse and would only be scared when seeing a skeleton. Why did their IQ suddenly drop when they thought of ghosts?

She looked at the skeletons scattered on the ground and explained, "The bones here are scattered all over the ground, but there are no signs of being chopped. We can initially rule out dismemberment, which means that these bones were scattered by someone later."

"Dr. Agasa made a reservation at the hotel a week ago, and the three people also happened to receive the invitation a week ago. Excluding the possibility that the bones were scattered by animals, the remaining possibility is that the bones were scattered by humans in order to be discovered by us."

Huiyuan Ai used her clever little brain to directly transform into the famous detective Xiao Ai and reasoned to everyone: "The innkeeper messed up these bones, sent out invitations, and led us here."

"So this is ah!"

“It’s not surprising if you think about it this way…”

"Ai-chan is so annoying!"

The kids looked at Huibara Ai and praised her fiercely.

This made Conan, who was standing beside him, look dead in the eye.

Conan: "..."

What I mean is, when I am reasoning, why do you feel that I am taking away your credit?
Why do you guys keep praising Huibara for his reasoning?

I guess these things were discovered by me, right?

Discrimination, blatant discrimination!
You are bullying me!

"But why did he send out invitations?"

Mitsuhiko noticed the key point again at this time, and asked in confusion: "If he killed Mr. Kawano, then logically he shouldn't have let the body be discovered..."

Yuan Tai's face darkened and he shouted, "Is he trying to kill everyone who received the invitation?"

"..."

Conan, Haibara, Fujino and Mitsuhiko all looked at Genta as if he were a fool, thinking that this boy's train of thought was a little abnormal.

Oh, by the way, it seems that my brain has never been normal except for the eel rice.

After all, he is Genta Kojima.

Everyone was speechless.

Fujino thought for a moment and gave his own guess: "I think he might want to lure the murderer into a trap or something. If he killed the person, he wouldn't have to do this. But if he didn't kill the person, then why would he do this?"

"Although it's just a possibility, I think he might be doing this to find the murderer, and the murderer must be among the four people who were invited."

"Next, the boss might come over, find the body, and quickly run back to the hotel."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

The innkeeper walked towards the group, carrying a white plastic bag. “So you’re here!”
