The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 125 Investigation inside the house

"We've never actually moved this wardrobe. It's always been like this."

After listening to this, Bai Masong closed the wardrobe.

Since this closet is always full of things, including these fragile pottery.

Then we can basically rule out the possibility that the suspect hid in the closet beforehand, then ran out when no one was paying attention, broke the hanger, and then escaped in the chaos.

Bai Masong looked at the hanger hanging in the air again.

The current hanger was reassembled and the original one has been discarded.

However, there was a picture of the original broken hanger in the information given to him by Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

However, just by looking at this picture, you can't tell anything.

Therefore, Bai Ma Song asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki again,

"The support rod of the hanger is broken. Is there any problem?"

"Yes and no."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu gave this answer:

"The stick broke because it was torn apart normally, not because of years of decay. Based on this, I determined that this was a closed-room murder case."

"However, the stick did not break in the way that it was damaged beforehand. Instead, it was torn apart in an instant by a heavy object. Therefore, there is no possibility that the hanger was tampered with in advance."

After hearing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's answer, Hakuba Matsu also understood.

In other words, it can be confirmed that the hanger was broken by someone, but it was not broken by the "timed fracture" method of cutting it a little and letting it break naturally, but it was directly broken by some means at a certain moment.

From this perspective, the case becomes even more confusing.

It is known that no one can enter this room from inside or outside at night.

There was no space to hide in the room.

However, the supporting wooden sticks of the hanger were still broken by someone at some point in time.

How did the murderer.........do it?

At this moment, Bai Masong had the same problem in his heart as Yumizu Nanatsuki did back then.

Bai Masong lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Then he raised his head and his eyes focused on the placement of the pillows on the bed.

"Ms. Kawashima, do you always sleep with your head against the window?"

Bai Masong turned around and asked Kawashima Yumi's father.

"Ah, yes, yes,"

Kawashima Yumi's father answered affirmatively,

"Youmei has always slept with her head facing the window. She said that this way the sea breeze can blow on her head, which helps her sleep."

After listening to what Kawashima Yumi's father said, Bai Masong looked at the window in front of him, thoughtfully.

He thought for a moment and then asked,

"So, Kawashima Yumi always keeps the windows open when she sleeps at night?"

"Yes, yes. She basically doesn't close the windows every day. If the windows are closed, she will open them before going to bed."

Kawashima Yumi's father said so.

"Ah."

Bai Ma Song nodded.

After hearing Bai Masong's question, Kawashima Yumi's father hesitated for a moment and said,

"In fact, Detective Yueshui has asked all these questions."

Kawashima Yumi's father was actually feeling a little disappointed at this time.

In his opinion, Nanatsuki Koshimizu had asked all these questions, but still found nothing.

Bai Masong continued to ask like this, isn't that just following the old path of Koshimizu Nanatsuki?

Bai Masong could somewhat sense what Kawashima Yumi's father was thinking, but he didn't say much.

"What do you think?"

Bai Masong looked at the only window in the room and asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"Although this window has been open, it is obvious that a normal person cannot get in through the window."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said, but as she spoke, she smiled and joked to Hakuba Song,

"Of course, if it's someone like you, it's still possible."

"Ah."

Listening to what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, Hakuba Matsu didn't say anything, but Haibara Ai laughed first.

Bai Masong said coldly,

“No need to consider this situation.”

"Just kidding, just kidding,"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki immediately put away her smile and said seriously,

"Back to the point, what I was thinking at first was, since the window is open, can I remotely control the drop of the hanger through the window from the outside?"

Bai Masong nodded, meaning that this guess was reasonable.

"What's your reasoning?"

Bai Ma Song asked.

In response to Hakuba Matsu's question, Koshimizu Nanatsuki said,

"My original idea was to use a rope to tie the wooden stick of the hanger, and then put it closer to the wall so that Kawashima Yumi couldn't see it easily."

"Throw it out of the window again. As long as the rope is long enough, the prisoner can sit in a small boat on the sea and pull the rope."

"In this way, when the criminals saw Kawashima Yumi sleeping on the boat, they could pull the rope, causing the hanger to break, leading to Kawashima Yumi's death."

“It’s feasible.”

After listening to this, Hakuba Matsu commented to Koshimizu Nanatsuki:

"The hanger is close to the wall and is some distance away from the bed. As long as the rope is placed close to the wall, it should be enough for Kawashima Yumi to not notice it."

"Yes, that's what I thought at the time."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded and said.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Bai Ma Song asked.

"It's not ideal,"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook her head and said,

"To implement this plan, we must have a boat, but I asked people around me and no one has rented a boat here."

"Also, there happened to be a lot of people drinking at the beach that night, and they all said they didn't see any people or boats at sea."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said this with a somewhat helpless expression.

Bai Masong listened and was not surprised.

If Nanatsuki Koshimizu had found out the results of the investigation, then there would be no need to look for him and she could solve the case herself.

White Horse Pine stuck his head out of the window and looked down.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed.

"Is that a trawler down there?"

Bai Masong asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki and the others present.

Just below the window, there was a tattered-looking boat parked.

Kawashima Yumi's father also leaned over, took a look, and said,

"This is an old trawler. It has probably been abandoned for several months, but no one has come to take it away, so it just stays there."

"So, was it still here on the night of the crime?"

Bai Masong narrowed his eyes and asked.
