Conan's Almighty Extraction

After the door of the living room was kicked open, Shiraiwa Maha and Mori Kogoro stopped Machida Noriko and others who wanted to enter the room, lest they destroy the crime scene.

Mori Kogoro entered the room first, went to the sofa to check the situation of old man Machida, after a while, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Mr. Bao, call the police, Mr. Machida is dead."

"I understand, call the police."

Machida Bao notified the police of the murder case here, and the others entered the room together after Mori Kogoro finished the preliminary investigation of the scene.

Baiyan Maha didn't go to observe the corpse, but went to the broken glass window, carefully inspected the scene, and soon found an abnormal situation.

According to common sense, if the glass was shot from the outside, then the glass slag on the floor should be distributed in a splash shape, instead of being restricted by something like now, the outermost place Very strangely arranged in a regular straight line.

After squatting down and observing carefully, Shiraiwa Maha found some fresh horizontal and linear scratches on the wooden floor next to the glass shards, which were definitely not the vertical or oblique scratches that may be caused by the glass shards falling to the ground.

At this time, Mori Kogoro, who had no clue, asked Machida Yasushi: "Mr. Abao, has Mr. Machida stayed here alone all the time after we left?"

Machida Bao nodded, and replied: "Yes, every afternoon at four o'clock, my elder brother will watch the videotape recorded by my sister-in-law here, this is his daily homework, and no one is allowed to disturb him at this time. "

"I see. It seems that the reason for installing this kind of frosted glass in the living room is probably because he doesn't want others to see his sad appearance from the outside."

Mori Kogoro said thoughtfully, then looked at the lawyer Tatsuo Yamagami who had just arrived here, and asked, "Sir, what are you doing here to see Mr. Machida?"

Looking at the dying old man Machida, Tatsuo Yamagami said with a sad expression: "Mr. Xiuzou decided to hand over 3 million yuan to the village after his death for the protection of red-crowned cranes and other migratory birds, so he entrusted me to help with the relevant procedures. Mr. Abao and the others also know about this matter."

"Yes, my brother made this decision a long time ago, because he and his sister-in-law became friends because of taking care of red-crowned cranes." Machida Ho agreed, confirming Tatsuo Yamagami's statement.

Mori Kogoro nodded, and suddenly realized that Machida Hiroshi, who was arguing with Machida old man before, was missing from the scene, so he quickly asked, "Where is Machida Hiroshi? Where is he now?"

"I don't know, I've been drawing over the feeding grounds."

"I've been resting in the house too, I don't know where Ah Hao has gone."

Machida Bao and others looked at each other, expressing that they did not know the whereabouts of Machida Hiroshi.

"Uncle, when we returned from the hot spring, I saw Machida Hiroshi driving away, and he looked very nervous." Shiraiwa Maha walked from the window to the sofa, and told what he saw before.

"I understand!"

After hearing Shiraiwa Maha's words, Mori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he concluded confidently: "The murderer is Hiroshi Machida, and he must have killed Mr. Machida with a crossbow because of inheritance issues, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped gone."

Mori Kogoro's reasoning was recognized by Machida Yasushi and others, but Shiraiwa Maha didn't quite believe it, and continued to look for clues in the room.

While observing the body of old man Machida, Shiraiwa Maha found that the exposed arrow shaft seemed to be stained with something black, so he took out a white handkerchief and wiped it.

"Is this soot?"

The black thing is the soot formed by the burning of coal, and the place in the room where soot is most likely to be produced is the hearth of the stove.

Bai Yanzhenyu walked to the stove of the living room and squatted down to check the situation inside. Among the residues of coal and wood, he found a small square piece of wood.

This kind of regular-shaped wooden block is obviously not the wreckage left after burning the fire to keep warm, but fell into it due to other circumstances.

Shiraiwa Maha pressed the multifunctional watch made for him by Dr. A Li, turned on the flashlight function to illuminate the fireplace, and found a fairly obvious light-colored trace in the chimney of the fireplace that was blackened by soot, which seemed to be something like a rope Wipe off the same.

On the other side, Conan, who also didn't believe Kogoro Mori's reasoning, also searched for clues in the room, and soon made a new discovery.

Conan walked up to Shirayan Maha, and whispered, "Brother Maha, I found a strange scratch on the tempered glass leaning on the side."

"Scratches, let me see."

Bai Yanzhenyu's heart moved, and he followed Conan to check it out, and then thought of the strange shape of the window glass shards, and immediately understood the reason.

At this moment, a group of police came here, but to everyone's surprise, Machida Hiroshi, who had left earlier, also came with the police.

"Hi, I'm Officer Ezumatsu from the Hokkaido Police Station."

After introducing himself, the Ezo police officer took out an evidence bag containing a crossbow, and explained: "Just now this young man came to the police station to surrender himself, saying that he killed his own father with this crossbow. .”

Machida Hiroshi lowered his head, eyes full of remorse, and said in pain: "I really didn't mean to kill him, but just wanted to scare him, thinking that he wouldn't donate all his property to the village. gone."

Although Shiraiwa Maha still doesn't know who the murderer is, he has deduced that the crossbow arrow that shot Machida's old man was not shot from outside, that is to say, Machida Hiroshi became the real murderer's scapegoat.

In order to clarify the truth of the incident, Bai Yanzhenyu took advantage of the police to collect evidence and asked: "Mr. Ahao, can you tell us the specific situation at that time?"

"While I was peeking outside, I found my father was sitting on the sofa watching my mother's videotape, so I took two steps back and aimed at the specimen of the Red Crane."

"When I looked in through the window that was shot by the crossbow arrow, I found that my father had been shot by the crossbow arrow. At that time, my mind was in a mess, so I drove away. After I calmed down, I knew that escaping was not an option, so I went to the police station and surrendered. surrendered."

Speaking of this, Hiroshi Machida turned his head to look at Noriko Machida, and complained: "Actually, I didn't want to do this at first, but my elder sister insisted that I must do it."

"Ah Hao, what are you talking about?"

Machida Noriko's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he evaded with an unnatural expression: "I didn't instigate you to kill Dad. If you really want to say it, Uncle Abao is the one who said that if you can scare Dad, Dad will kill you." Will give up donations out of fear."

"Hey, Zezi!"

Machida Yasuno looked at Machida Noriko angrily, and denied it: "I never said such a thing, I think you must have misunderstood somewhere."

Seeing the sketchbook in the crook of Machida Yasushi's arm, Shiraiwa Maha suddenly remembered the paintings he saw in it before, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
