The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 344 Discovery of the method?

They seemed to have captured something keenly, and they were sure that this crossbow arrow was the key to the murderer's method!

"What does a crossbow arrow look like?"

"Where did you find it?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji asked the police officer one question at a time at a very fast speed, almost confusing him.

The police officer first looked at Officer Digging the Well, as he was his boss. Without his permission, he could not tell anyone else about the case.

Digging Jing's face darkened, he glared at him and said in a deep voice,

"Tell this classmate."

He cursed in his heart, wondering if this police officer had no sense at all? He allowed these people to come here to listen, which meant he must trust them.

It depends on what you do. He is the old police chief with the lowest status here.

"Ah, okay."

The police officer was even more confused. Why did the boss glare at him for no apparent reason? However, he did not dare to neglect the matter and quickly said,

"The length of the crossbow arrow is about the length of your forearm. You can go and see its specific appearance later."

"The place where it was found...I just told you, it was on the wall where the deceased was found."

Hearing the police officer's words, Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched, and he asked again speechlessly,

"Of course I know it's on that wall. I want to ask you the exact location."

"Um, this..."

The police officer broke out in a cold sweat, thought for a moment, and said,

"I, I don't really remember either. Why don't we go over and take a look now?"

"Alright."

Bai Masong nodded.

"Take us over there now."

"Yes."

............

A moment later, under the guidance of the police officers, the group came again to the yard where Naoko Kuroe was found.

This location is about ten meters south of where Naoko Kuroe was found.

At this time, there was a crossbow arrow as long as an arm stuck in the wall. The crossbow arrow had penetrated three inches into the wall. Even with the slightest effort, Kogoro Mori was unable to pull it out.

Looking at the crossbow arrows, Bai Masong frowned.

"Why don't you take it down and keep it as evidence?"

These words were obviously addressed to the police officer.

"This, this..."

The police officer was a little flustered and started to explain hastily.

"We didn't think of this as evidence. We all thought that the Ebihara family would have the habit of practicing crossbows on this wall."

Bai Masong and the others did not care about his explanation. Hattori Heiji asked the police officer again,

"What about the other side? Is it like this too?"

"Yes, I think so. I remember it looked like this."

The police officer replied somewhat uncertainly.

Hattori Heiji also had no hope for him, or for most of the policemen in the island country who were just idling around, so he pulled Conan along, and the two of them ran to the other side.

The other crossbow arrow was located to the north of where the deceased was leaning. When Hattori Heiji came here, he silently calculated in his mind and found that the distance on both sides was almost the same.

"Kudo, you've thought of this too, right?"

Hattori Heiji squatted down, leaned close to Conan's ear, and discussed in a low voice.

"Um,"

Conan nodded, his expression serious, but also somewhat relaxed.

"Based on the current situation, there is indeed that possibility."

"Now let's see what Brother Song thinks,"

Hattori Heiji said in a deep voice.

"I agree with you guys."

Bai Masong appeared silently beside the two of them and spoke lightly.

"Ahaha, in this case, it looks like there won't be any problem!"

Hattori Heiji seemed very excited.

Among the group, he, Conan (Kudo), and Hakubamatsu, three masters of reasoning, have already determined the answer, and Hakubamatsu's reasoning ability is recognized (both he and Conan recognize) as better than the other two.

"There is a small ring behind the crossbow arrow. Two crossbow arrows were placed on both sides of the wall. The back of the deceased's head hit the wall, leaving a blood stain..."

Hattori Heiji said confidently,

"From all the signs, the murderer must have used that method!"

"Well, it looks like the crime scene should be the room on the second floor facing the scene."

Conan also took over Hattori Heiji's conversation.

"The murderer used this method, so if he was the one who was controlled and blocked at the scene, the evidence must still be at the scene."

"Yes, and that thing should be on the beach just outside the wall."

......

Hattori Heiji and Conan spoke one sentence at a time, as if they had figured out everything.

However, Baimasong was still speechless.

These two people, or is this a common problem in the detective profession?

You just can't speak properly, so you have to be a riddle teller?

That technique, that room, that evidence, that thing...

Damn it, if all this wasn't designed by him, and he had strong logical ability, if it was Inspector Megure who came instead, he would have been dizzy!

Thinking of this, Bai Masong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,

"Don't talk so much, just go upstairs first."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and nodded.

Yes, now we should go upstairs to confirm the feasibility of the method, and then eliminate and identify the murderer.

......

A few minutes later, in a room on the second floor of the Ebihara family's house.

This room has always been used as a storehouse.

Of course, the reason why the three of them came to this room was because the balcony here faced the wall where Naoko Kuroe was found.

"From this balcony, we can definitely shoot the crossbow arrows at those two locations."

Hattori Heiji showed a confident smile.

"Yes, and the direction of the crossbow arrow's tail is also pointing to this room."

Conan also agreed, and then he raised the most critical question,

"The most important thing now is, who can possibly pull this off?"

After Conan said this, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Matsu fell into deep thought.

Hattori Heiji thought about it and said,

“It seems like anyone can do this.”

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded.

"As long as the murderer is familiar with Naoko Kuroe and can come to this room at the time, this method can be used."

Conan seemed relieved at this time and smiled.

"It seems that Miss Jun Hui has nothing to do with this case. She is not the murderer."

"Oh?"

Hattori Heiji wondered,

"Didn't Miss Jun Hui say she was going to the bathroom? I was talking to He Ye at the time and didn't pay attention to the time. Do you remember how long she was gone?"

"Um,"

Conan nodded slightly.

"No one paid attention to me as a kid at the time, so I wrote down the time everyone left."
