Chapter 378 The mystery of "×"

Hearing Tang Ze's words, Takagi couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.

But when he saw the three strange symbols "○ × △" written in blood by the deceased, his face couldn't help but change again, "What on earth is this death message!"

“Could that “×” refer to multiplication? And "○×△" refers to some kind of mathematical formula. Yuanzi on the side speculated after hearing this.

"But why "○×△"? Xiaolan heard this and said suspiciously: "Aren't numbers easier to understand?" "

"This is also very simple." Yuanzi waved his hand and said: "Of course this is done to prevent the prisoner from discovering the destruction information, so it is replaced with this strange symbol."

"OH!!" Teacher Judy on the side heard Yuanzi's words and said excitedly with a weird accent: "So, is the prisoner a person proficient in mathematics?"

Hearing this, Takagi looked at the future life with suspicion and said: "Then, is there any employee in your company who is particularly proficient in mathematics?"

"No... Due to the field of work, our company recruits mainly liberal arts talents..."

"kindness…"

"Could it be that "○×△" refers to oden? " Yuanzi touched his chin, and somehow his brain thought of oden.

"Hey Sonoko, Teacher Judy, do you think this "×" refers to that thing?"

"Ah?" After hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi and Yuanzi couldn't help but look puzzled, "What did you say?"

"That's it. That cute mark that Teacher Judy mentioned before when we were in English class."

"Hahahahaha~~"

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi and Teacher Judy looked at each other and laughed.

"No, no, no!!"

"It can't be that, it absolutely can't be!!"

The two laughed and waved their hands to reject Xiaolan's guess.

"Ah, are you talking about something that girls often write at the end when they write letters?" Takagi on the side heard the conversation between several people and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"OH! Yes~"

"Takagi Criminal, do you know what "×" means? "Xiaolan on the side looked at Takagi in surprise after hearing this.

"Hehehe, since you understand this, does it mean that you often receive letters like that?"

Sonoko on the side heard Takagi's words and couldn't help but tease him with a narrow look on his face, "Can't you tell?"

"No, no!" Takagi waved his hands after hearing this, "I just helped Tangze with criminal matters and handled a lot of letters, so I naturally knew about it."

"Huh? Brother-in-law? That's normal." Yuanzi glanced at Xiaolan, then nodded as if it was natural, "After all, he is brother-in-law. That's normal."

"So, Tangze Criminal also knows the meaning of this "×"? "Xiao Lan couldn't help but look at the words, and turned to Tang Ze who was contemplating the "death message" left by the deceased.

"Well, I still know this, but for some people, it may be a puzzle that is not easy to solve."

Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at Conan, who was eavesdropping next to him, and smiled teasingly. Then he looked at Takagi and said seriously: "Let's stop joking here first. I have discovered something." "Discovery!?"

After hearing Tang Ze's words, several people stopped talking about the previous topic and ran over quickly, "What is it?"

"Maybe this death message doesn't just have "○×△". "

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yuanzi asked strangely: "Does it mean that this code is incomplete?"

"That's right. Look, is there a blood stain on the left side of "○"? "Conan reminded everyone, pointing to the edge of the file bag.

"Ah, it's true"

"Oh! If you look carefully, there is indeed a little vertical blood stain on it."

"But brother-in-law, there doesn't seem to be any blood stains around, right?" Yuanzi looked at the forensic investigators who were trying to search around and said, "I haven't seen anyone coming to report, ah."

"Based on the places inspected now, there are indeed no similar blood stains, but there has not been an inspection there yet."

Hearing this, Tangze pointed to the escalator and said: "Don't forget, although the escalator has been stopped now, the elevator was still running normally when the body was found.

So if there is a missing part of the "death message" on the file bag, it must be on the pedal of this elevator! "

"That's it!" Takagi immediately woke up when he saw where Tang Ze was pointing, "I'll have someone check it right away!"

"But brother-in-law, the escalator was always running before you came, right? Could it be that the words written in blood by the deceased have disappeared long ago?" Sonoko asked from the side.

"Don't worry about this. As long as you spray some luminol reagent on the elevator pedal, you can find it even if the blood has disappeared."

After explaining, Tang Ze continued to add: "And the situation at that time was that the deceased had been stabbed and was bleeding. In that case, the elevator pedal must be covered with blood, so we just need to find it later. The blue fluorescence is the most That elevator pedal is enough."

After explaining all this, Takagi hurriedly went to check the elevator pedals with the staff of the forensics department. At this time, Conan next to Karasawa pulled the corner of Karasawa's clothes, motioning for him to lean over and have something to say. .

"What's wrong??" Tang Ze leaned over and asked, "Have you noticed anything else before?"

After all, Conan was present when the case occurred, and he might be able to discover something with his insight.

But speaking out these discoveries as a child is a bit too surprising. In order to avoid suspicion, Conan usually told Tang Ze quietly. I originally thought that this would be the case this time, but I didn't expect it.
  "I want to ask you a question." Conan covered his mouth and asked softly: "What does the "×" that Sonoko and the others said before mean? "

"."

Hearing Conan's question, Karasawa looked at Conan with a playful look, rubbed his dog's head and said, "If a child doesn't know about this kind of thing, then he doesn't know~"

What a joke, Tangze is still waiting to eat melon later. How could Conan know about this first?

Karasawa is looking forward to what Conan's expression will look like when the time comes~
  "If you know, just tell me!" Conan slapped his hand off his head angrily, "I'm not really a primary school student!!"

Facing Karasawa's prevarication, Conan wanted to continue asking, but Chiba hurried over with a pile of clothes on the side, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Seeing this, Conan could only glare at Karasawa, and immediately began to listen intently to what Chiba and others found after searching.
