Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

"Oh~"

"Brother Kudo, do you already know the criminal's method?"

Inspector Megure's beard trembled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to say: "Then tell us quickly!"

"Actually, this case is very simple."

For some reason, Kudo Shinichi blurted out this sentence.

Perhaps, he didn't want to fall behind Sakaki Makoto.

When he said this, his face was full of confidence.

"The most difficult part of this case is the way the murderer committed the crime."

"As long as his method is cracked, who is the criminal will be revealed."

Kudo Shinichi raised the fishing line and began his reasoning show.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Please look at this fishing line."

"The criminal used it to commit an impossible crime."

No one spoke, everyone was waiting for him to explain the method.

"The deceased had no bruises on his body and no residue in his nails, which means he did not put up any effective resistance before his death."

"The only injury on the deceased's body was the marks on his neck, which was also the cause of his death."

"When Akira Takizawa was putting on makeup, the criminal strangled his neck with a rope from behind, breaking his tracheal cartilage and causing his death."

Kudo Shinichi invited a criminal police officer to cooperate with him and began to restore the scene of the crime.

The criminal police officer sat at the table, holding a lipstick, while Kudo Shinichi put the rope around his neck.

"But this is the dressing room exclusively for the deceased Akira Takizawa. Outsiders cannot enter at all, or Akira Takizawa will not let them in."

"So the person who can perform this method must be someone the deceased knows, or someone he trusts."

Ishikawa Hide looked at Kawasaki Soun, his eyes gradually turned cold: "Kawasaki, I remember that in the club, you and Takizawa have the best relationship, and you often go out together."

Kawasaki Soun's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Ishikawa, it's not me!"

"I have no reason to kill him at all!"

"Who said no?!"

Fukuyama Gin stood up, pointed at Kawasaki Soyun's nose and shouted: "I clearly heard you ask Takizawa to pay back the money last time! But Takizawa refused!"

"What did he say? If you don't want people to know about the drugs, just continue to supply him with heroin, otherwise I will report you!"

"The charges of buying drugs and selling drugs are different!"

The police's eyes also fell on Kawasaki Soyun. Obviously, Kawasaki Soyun is the most suspicious.

A few drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Kawasaki Soyun was a little panicked, his eyes full of fear.

"Takizawa did threaten me, but I really didn't kill him!"

"That's right, the murderer of Takizawa Akira was not Mr. Kawasaki."

Kudo Shinichi put one hand in his pocket, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"It is because the criminal knew that Mr. Kawasaki and Akira Takizawa had a rift, and also saw Kawasaki Soun bring drugs to Akira Takizawa, so he wanted to frame him."

"I'm right, Mr. Minamoto."

Wow!

Everyone looked at Minamoto Shigeharu who was sitting alone drinking.

"Impossible!"

Ishikawa Hide suddenly stood up: "How could Minamoto kill Takizawa!"

"Takizawa is the top star in the store!"

"If there is no Takizawa, the business of the store will drop by who knows how much. By then, not only me, but also Minamoto will be punished by the team leader!"

"You said that Minamoto killed Takizawa, what evidence do you have!"

Seeing Ishikawa Hide defending Minamoto Shigeharu, Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and pointed to Minamoto Shigeharu's waist.

"There are two strangle marks on Akira Takizawa's neck, of different sizes and thicknesses, which shows that the murderer used two weapons."

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Yuan, there are still fingerprints of Akira Takizawa on your belt."

"You didn't have time to wipe off the fingerprints, because when you committed the crime, Mr. Fukuyama happened to come to the dressing room, which is why Mr. Fukuyama heard the thumping sound coming from the room."

"That was Akira Takizawa pounding on the table, trying to tell Mr. Fukuyama that someone wanted to kill him, but unfortunately, his neck was strangled from behind and he couldn't make a sound."

"The cosmetics scattered on the ground are the best evidence."

"After killing Akira Takizawa, you found a rope and hung up the body, creating the illusion that Akira Takizawa committed suicide after taking drugs, resulting in the death of the greater horn of the hyoid bone fracture."

Kudo Shinichi raised the fishing line and continued.

"If you want to get away with a crime, there are two ways. One is to prove your absence perfectly, which you can't do, so you chose the second way, and let Takizawa Akira commit suicide."

"You put one end of the fishing line through the key, made a loop, then passed the line around the drawer, and stuck the eyeshadow box on the drawer, leaving a very small gap. You walked out of the room with both ends of the fishing line, locked the door, wiped off the fingerprints on the key, and then pulled the end that was not tied to the key."

In order to restore the scene, Kudo Shinichi personally walked out of the room with the fishing line, closed the door, and pulled the fishing line.

The key slowly moved forward under his pull, entered the room through the crack of the door, and came all the way to the table.

When passing the drawer, because the size of the key could not pass through the gap, Kudo Shinichi only exerted a little force, and the loop tied to the key fell off, and the key fell into the drawer smoothly.

Megure Jusan suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "So that's it!"

"In this way, the secret room can be formed!"

Faced with Megure Jusan's "intelligence", Kudo Shinichi did not hesitate to praise him.

"Yes, Inspector Megure, you are very smart."

"The criminal created a secret room in this way."

"Not long after the criminal did all this, Mr. Fukuyama brought Mrs. Yoshida to the dressing room, broke open the door, and found the body of Takizawa Akira."

"As the second in command of the club, he had to rush to the scene as soon as possible. In such a short time, he had no chance to wipe off the fingerprints and dandruff on the belt."

"As long as the belt is taken for DNA comparison, it can be found that the dandruff on it is left by Takizawa Akira."

"Even if you are quick and wipe off the evidence on the belt, the heroin on the clothes cannot be faked."

Kudo Shinichi pushed open the door, looked up proudly, and looked at Sakaki Makoto, but the words were said to Minamoto Shigeharu.

That look seemed to say, how about my reasoning?

Are you convinced?

Even if I lag behind you, I can still solve the case in the shortest time.

You just took the lead and seized the opportunity.

But what surprised him was that Sakaki Makoto still had that indifferent expression, as if his provocation did not exist at all.

"Mr. Minamoto, please take off your coat and belt so that we can take them for testing." Megure Jusan said.

Minamoto Shigeharu's stiff face showed a slight wavering, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No need, Mr. Inspector, this little detective is very good, his reasoning, even I have to believe it."

"I did intend to kill Takizawa Akira, but I did not hang him up, let alone lock the door."

"I just strangled him to death."
