The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 130 Tide

Low tide?!

Bai Masong's words seemed to instantly open up Yueshui Nanatsuki's Ren and Du meridians, making her understand everything at once.

"I see, so this is the method. In this case, the murderer should be the one who has this knowledge."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with sudden enlightenment.

Bai Masong nodded and said lightly,

"Come on, let's go find her now and finish the job today instead of leaving it until tomorrow."

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

"Dong dong dong......"

"Who is it?"

"Ms. Ho Michiko, it's me, Nanatsuki Koshimizu."

After a few simple conversations, the door opened.

Michiko Ho opened the door, feeling somewhat suspicious, but still smiling normally.

"Detective Koshimizu and Inspector Hakuba, why are you here so late? Is there something urgent?"

"Yeah, there are some things."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also said with a smile.

"Then you three should come in and talk."

Michiko Ho said so.

He took out his slippers and led the three people in.

After entering the room, Michiko skillfully brewed tea for the three of them.

Bai Ma Song looked around and didn't see the child, so he asked,

"Is the child asleep?"

"Hmm? Ah, yes, he's already asleep."

Michiko Ho seemed a little absent-minded, but she quickly reacted and answered.

In order to hide her embarrassment, she quickly asked,

"You three are here so late, is there something urgent?"

Bai Masong listened to her words and smiled faintly.

"Ms. Ho Michiko, I'm sure you know why we're here at this time."

“Heh, heh,”

Michiko forced a smile and said stubbornly,

"For what, I don't know."

"Because you killed Miss Kawashima Yumi!"

Bai Masong said bluntly.

Michiko Ho was even more panicked, but she still refuted firmly.

"You, what right do you have to say that? Hasn't the police already............?"

"The police have ruled this case an accident?"

Bai Masong sneered and said,

"That's because they were deceived by you."

"Now, let me tell you about your method."

"Your modus operandi is actually very simple to carry out and does not require any complicated arrangements."

"All you need to do is prepare a hemp rope about 12 or 13 meters long, connect a hook at one end, tie an iron block at the other end, hook the hook to the wooden stick hanging above Kawashima Yumi's head, and then drop the rope out of the window."

"After that, I can rent a small cruise ship, go out to the sea by myself, tie the other end of the rope with the iron block to the trawler just below Kawashima Yumi's window, and that's it."

“Of course, you will make some changes when you actually do it.”

"For example, you can leave the iron block untied at one end, and then drive the boat to tie the iron block to the rope after it falls down."

"Or, you need to carry a large bag, one that is big enough to hold a rope that is twelve or thirteen meters long."

"After you have done all this, you can quietly wait for the news of Kawashima Yumi's death."

Listening to Bai Basong's words, Michiko Ho's body was shaking, but her mouth was still hard.

"I, I don't understand what you are saying?"

"hehe,"

Bai Masong said coldly,

"It's okay if you don't understand. I will explain it to you until you understand."

"Everything you do requires a very strong timing device to complete."

"I, including Yue Shui, have never been able to figure out what this timing device is."

"Until today, when I was at your house and heard that you had interned at the Meteorological Agency, I instantly had an idea."

"The timing device you used is the tide!"

Hakubamatsu said this while observing Michiko's emotions.

When she heard the word "tide", her heart began to dilate unconsciously, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"I called the Meteorological Bureau through my connections. Although it was a bit against the rules, I still got them to tell me some things."

Bai Ma Song said, raising a finger.

"First, I got a data about the difference in water level between high tide and low tide in Tokyo Bay. During high tide, the average water level difference is 2.4 meters!"

"At this point, I knew that my guess was basically confirmed."

"Then, I asked them to check the high tide and low tide times on the day of the crime, as well as the corresponding water levels at these two times. I will just talk about the crime scene directly here."

"At the crime scene, the high tide time was 1.74:0.61 pm, the water level was metres, and the low tide time was : pm, the water level was metres."

"What does this mean? This means that the water level difference on the day of the incident was almost one meter!"

At this point, Bai Ma Song stared at Michiko and asked,

"I remember that when you went to Kawashima Yumi's house, it was also between two and three o'clock!"

Michiko stammered, trying to explain, but nothing came out.

After hearing this, I believe everyone basically understands it.

The murderer tied the rope to the trawler during high tide, leaving enough space so that the hook would not affect the wooden stick of the hanger.

When the tide recedes, the water level will drop by itself. At that time, the trawler floating on the sea will naturally lower with the water level.

The rope will naturally be gradually tightened, and when it reaches a certain level, the weight of the trawler will break the wooden stick on the hanger in an instant!

Then, the hanger collapsed!

Ropes and other items would also slip and fall into the sea due to the loss of the wooden stick.

"Ms. Ho Michiko, do you have anything else to say?"

Hakuba Matsu sneered and looked at Michiko.

"No, it's just what you said. I killed Kawashima Yumi."

Michiko sighed and reluctantly admitted her crime.

"Actually, I didn't intend to kill her at first."

She began to slowly tell Bai Masong and others her motive for murder.

"Originally, as I said, I'm already this age, and I don't have much desire for power. If she wants to take the position, just give it to her. Besides, the company has promised to give me a good pension position."

"But who knew this woman would actually want to kill everyone!"

"I don't know how I offended her. She actually got evidence of my embezzlement of public funds and asked me to resign and leave!"

"I have a child, he's still so young, I can't do without this job!"

“I can only, I can only....................................”
