Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 183 Occasionally a flash of inspiration

"Very good, I already fully understand this technique!"

The famous detective who was caught from the top of the cabinet by Officer Shiratori is finally about to start his reasoning.

The first is those thin wires wrapped around the bicycle wheel axle.

Conan struggled twice and jumped from Shiratori's hand to the floor. "It's so strange. Why is this thread tied with a knot?"

The detective took off one end of the string from the bicycle and showed it to everyone.

The circle tied on the thread is very small, about the thickness of a little finger, but it is a very strong knot.

"That's true. It's really strange to say that it is used for packaging." Officer Sato looked at the coil in his hand and nodded.

"By the way, after you reminded me, I remembered that about half a year ago, some of my friends' children came to play at home. I still remember that they were next to this bicycle."

"Maybe it's a prank on their part." Mr. Masao suddenly clapped his hands, remembering this.

The repairman smiled and said, "If this is the case, when two o'clock comes, Mrs. Masuo, who exercises regularly every day, will sit on this bicycle and start riding."

Yes, that’s what I thought!

Takagi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"In the victim's room, a very strange photo album was found. Several photos were circled with red pen. In addition, there was no trace of missing property or cash!"

"No matter how much you think about it, it's just a waste of effort. Let's let the search team start taking action first." Officer Shiratori shook his head.

"Team Leader Shiratori!" A police officer walked in holding a photo album in his hand.

Officer Takagi said, looking at Lin Feng for confirmation.

"Please wait a moment. I'm guessing. It's just a hypothesis. If the prisoner fixes the knife with tape or something on the top floor of the bookcase, then ties the other end of the kite string to the axle of the bicycle. ?”

Shiratori, Sato, and Mr. Masao all showed surprised expressions when they heard this reasoning.

At this moment, Officer Takagi, who had been silent, looked at the bookcase and then the bicycle, and suddenly a strange and bold idea came to his mind.

"This, this is just my wife's prank. I have stopped her before not to smear the photos," Mr. Masuo smiled, stepped forward quickly, and took the photo album from the police officer's hand. , held in his arms.

"Just as I thought, he is definitely not an ordinary thief or robber," Shiratiao nodded after listening to the other party's report.

I just saw Conan climbing up the bookcase, and I had this idea instantly.

"If you put it that way, there's no problem..." Officer Sato didn't pay too much attention to these fine lines.

"As the pedal is stepped on, the axle rotates, and the thin wire begins to tighten slowly. Finally, when the pedal is stepped on, the bookcase falls down, and the knife will stab it."

Regardless of how the prisoner came in, a search must be conducted before the murder is completed.

"This idea is indeed interesting, but will things really go so smoothly? Let's not talk about how the wire is fixed on the bookshelf together with the knife. The pedal is even more difficult to press. Couldn't the victim feel it?" After being surprised, Officer Shiratori asked.

"Why, don't you know?"

"The original design of an indoor sports bicycle like this is to gradually increase the load on the athlete." "The victim should be used to this feeling of suddenly becoming strenuous."

Officer Sato seems to agree with this reasoning, and he also knows this kind of high-end bicycles very well.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're not used to it. Most people, when something doesn't work, will try to make a miracle happen and then find someone to repair it." As a repairman, Lin Feng has seen this kind of situation many times.

Just like a child's pencil sharpener, or a hand-cranked ice-shaving machine.

Can't turn?
Then use more force!

"But when you found the body, the bookcase didn't fall down at all, right?"

"Besides, instead of running here to devise such a troublesome killing method, it would be more convenient to ambush in a certain room and then take action at the right opportunity, right?"

Officer Shiratori felt that the group of robbers who robbed the bank came to design this kind of murder method, which was really unnecessary.

"There is only one person, only he has the reason and the ability to kill people like this." Takagi was silent for a moment, and then said seriously.

Conan and Lin Feng stood aside and watched this scene silently.

In fact, Takagi's understanding is not bad, but he is the kind of character who will go wherever you lead him.

This guy occasionally gets a bright idea.

"That is, he knows the victim's daily routine and exercise habits better than anyone else, and he was the first to enter the scene and hold up the bookcase. The victim's husband, Mr. Masuo Keizou!" Takagi stretched out his finger and pointed to the fat man next to him. Fat middle-aged man.

"What are you talking about!" Masuo Keizou's expression changed.

Sato also figured this out, looked at the other party with a smile on his face, and said:
"Yes, no wonder you called the Metropolitan Police Department, because you know very well that when your wife goes to pedal her bicycle, you can also estimate the time when the knife stabbed her."

Mr. Masao, who was standing on the other end of the phone line with the police, listening to his wife scream, thus created an alibi for himself.

"And as soon as the three of us entered the house, you asked us to go to the second floor to find someone first. This is also very strange." Takagi nodded and continued to talk about the suspicious place.

"I see, you were the one who restored the fallen bookshelf while we were looking for someone on the second floor, right?" Officer Sato recalled the other party's words at that time, and felt that there was something fishy about it.

While we were in the car, the other party kept saying that my wife felt someone was lingering near her home, giving us hints that the robbers might be foreigners, etc.

"That's not all. He was in the office of the Metropolitan Police Department. In just one minute, he lowered his head and checked the time on his watch three times." With the sound of words, the young detective team appeared at the door of the living room.

That's right, Xiao Ai and Conan discovered this detail.

However, everyone is here, let us have a sense of participation, okay?
"..." Conan smiled silently.

There are so many police guarding the door, how on earth did you get in...

"That, because they said they had important information." The police officer who brought them in looked at everyone's eyes and explained.

Judging from your expressions, this information should be of some use...

"It seems that you really value time, Mr. Masuo?" Officer Sato wanted to hear what Mr. Masuo had to say.
