Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

Chapter 32 Strange Eye Contact

"When was the time of death? Where was the body found?"

"Inspector, the estimated time of death was 11 o'clock last night. The body was found in the innermost room on the second floor of the old school building of Kaikata Academy. The first person to discover it was the administrator." The coroner was holding the tools in his hand. After completing his work, he was ready to return to the police headquarters.

With two children, Officer Otaki walked into the old school building that had been isolated by the blockade. Yuji took the gloves handed over by the inspection police and put them on, and then observed the surroundings with Heiji.

The stairs leading to the second floor of the old school building are next to the main entrance on the first floor. Going up the stairs, Yuji saw a gloomy corridor with classrooms on both sides. Because it has been abandoned for too long, the lines here can no longer be used, and there is a risk of fire.

How could it be such a layout? Which school would build a school building like this?

Generally, in order to adjust the psychological pressure of students, the school buildings will try to make the lighting very good, but the layout of this old school building is completely different.

When looking up the school history of the high school, Yuuji discovered that this old school building was a chemical research institute. The principal at that time spent money to buy the surrounding land and this research institute together, intending to separate the middle school and high school departments that were still together.

Unfortunately, after buying this place, Kaikata Academy ran out of money. So this old school building was preserved and used as a school building for the high school department. It was not until five years later that Kaikata Academy built the current new campus and abandoned the old school building.

Yuuji, Heiji and Officer Otaki walked in along the corridor. The innermost room was facing the corridor. When they opened the door, they faced the wooden wall. This room only had windows on both sides, so the lighting was not very good. Apart from that, there was nothing in this room.

As the first scene where the body was found, there were about six or seven policemen in this room.

The three saw the deceased, Senior Hanakage, lying on the wooden floor, with blood marks on her neck from scratches with nails, and her hair hanging down like this, which made people feel creepy at first glance.

Yuji and Heiji walked a little closer and found that Senior Hanakage looked terrified, just like the boy who died three years ago in the description.

Is this another plot of revenge for the senior?

The remaining two students and administrator of the Supernatural Society were brought here by the police. Yuji looked at the three people who were being interrogated, and only got the interrogation notes from Heiji after the body was sent away.

From the answers of the three people, it can be learned that the Supernatural Society ended the entire adventure at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.

At six o'clock, the administrator locked the door of the old school building and went home. At about eleven o'clock, Senior Hanakage sent an exclamation mark to everyone in her address book and hanged herself in this room.

Judging from the condition of the body, Senior Hanakage must not have committed suicide. People who hang themselves will have their feet facing down to the ground, but just now Senior Hanakage was lying on the ground with her feet perpendicular to the ground.

This shows that Senior Hanakage is likely to die first, and then be hung on the ceiling by the murderer after the body becomes stiff.

However, it is not necessarily correct to judge whether it is homicide based on the tip of the toes.

When Yuji was in elementary school, his father told him that strangulation and hanging are different. The depth of force in hanging is uniform, while strangulation is not uniform.

Fortunately, the senior was strangled to death.

Yuji wrote an exclamation mark on the paper, walked to Hattori Heiji and asked, "Senior Heiji, this should be the message before death."

"I told Ye last night that Senior Hana Jing sent her an exclamation mark. I called the classmates in the senior's class and many of them received it."

Why did Senior Hana Jing send an exclamation mark? Can't she just send the murderer's name?

Unless she was strangled by the murderer and tried her best to send this message.

Yuji looked at the three people standing in front of Officer Otaki and kept explaining, and suddenly remembered the boy who died two years ago. Could he be the breakthrough of this case?

Just after telling Heiji what he thought, Yuji learned that when Officer Otaki sent them back to Hattori's house yesterday and was about to leave, Hattori Heiji asked Officer Otaki to look for the case from two years ago.

The result of the investigation was that the police did close the case as suicide at that time, and did not mention much about the autopsy of the deceased.

The only doubt raised by Heiji was the boy at that time. He did not seem to be the first person to have an accident in this old school building.

Before him, someone else disappeared here, but that was also five years ago. Because it was not a murder case, even the name of the missing person was not left.

Yuji began to feel stuffy here. Although the weather was not hot, the depressing environment here made him unconsciously fan himself with the paper in his hand.

"What does the exclamation mark mean?" Heiji asked the police for information on the three suspects again. On the page of the cameraman, he saw the old surname of this senior.

Shihe, the same as the boy who died three years ago.

Yuuji walked to Hattori Heiji while fanning himself. He also pointed at the information of Senior Sakuragi and found that this girl's sister was also a student of Kaikata Academy and disappeared five years ago.

If my guess is correct, the missing person is definitely this sister.

Yuu failed to hold the paper in his hand, and was blown directly to Hattori Heiji's feet by the wind coming from outside the window. Hattori closed the police document, bent down and picked up the exclamation mark from the ground. He was about to hand it to Yuji, but his eyes were fixed on the paper.

Yuji sensed something was wrong. He walked to Hattori Heiji, only to find that the paper he had just written on had been turned upside down by Hattori.

"!" becomes "i"

"Kudo, you can see it, right?" Hattori put the paper away and adjusted his hat.

Yuji nodded, and the two teenagers suddenly walked to the place where Hanajing-senpai was hung up in front of everyone in the room. In front of them was the door of the room, and looking out, there was a dark corridor.

"Xiaoping, do you know what this message means?" Officer Otaki came over with two policemen.

Hattori Heiji took out the exclamation mark from his pocket again and turned it around: "What Hanajing-senpai sent to others is not "! ", but "i". It refers to the English word "eye" which has the same pronunciation as "i". The real pre-death message is "eye inverted"."

Yuji continued to explain: "Human eyes have a viewing angle of nearly 120 degrees under normal circumstances, but the most important thing is that people always look forward, and their eyes are facing forward.

The "upside-down eye" reminds everyone who receives this message to look back. "

Hattori Heiji and Kudo Yuji turned and looked at the wall facing the door of the room. They looked at each other, then walked over and knocked twice on the wooden wall with their hands.

The sound made by the wooden wall could be clearly heard. It was empty inside. Hattori Heiji and Yuji put their eyes on the wooden wall again and looked into the gaps.

...There was a female mummy inside looking at them through the gap.
