Conan's Almighty Extraction

Near the door of the small pavilion, there is a hanging painting spread out, and there is a calligraphy table next to it.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk, and a few lines of text are written on the paper, but judging from the above content, it is obviously not finished yet.

"This is..." Bai Yanzhenyu found some small gray particles of different sizes scattered on the paper. After squatting down to take a closer look, he muttered puzzledly: "It seems to be wood chips."

"It's also on the tatami. By the way, it fell from the beam of the hanging rope. The friction between the hanging rope and the beam seems a bit abnormal."

Conan also found the sawdust. After turning his head and looking around the desk, he seemed to think of something, and looked up at the beam where Master Aonogi hanged himself.

However, Conan was too short to see the situation of the crossbeam clearly, so he could only ask Shirayan Maha for help: "Brother Maha, please lift me up."

"it is good."

Shiraiwa Maha lifted Conan up, and after looking at the crossbeam, he said clearly: "Sure enough, apart from the traces left on the hanging rope, there are also traces of friction elsewhere, which were made recently."

After putting Conan down, Shiraiwa Maha asked in a low voice, "Have you thought of anything?"

Conan nodded, and said inscrutablely: "Well, I probably have a few conjectures, but more clues are needed to judge."

At this time, Police Officer Henggou and Mori Kogoro also finished surveying the scene, took everyone back to the second floor of the main house, and began to interview and investigate the housekeeper Hanazaki.

After listening to the monster legend told by Butler Hanazaki, Police Officer Yokomizo scratched his head and said speechlessly: "What? He was killed by a legendary monster? Let me tell you, everyone, you think I, a policeman, will believe this statement ?"

"It's really like this!" Butler Hanazaki clenched his fists and said with a confident face: "The blood stains next to the tea ceremony room and the hanging of the master are all exactly as described in the legend."

Miss Sancun showed a look of fear on her face, and then said: "Even if there are really no monsters here, the method of death of the master is exactly the same as the legend. Who would believe that he was not killed by monsters?"

Yagura Moruo lowered his head and said with a dejected expression: "I knew that this tea ceremony room should not be built at the beginning. After it was completed, my wife died of a heart attack immediately, and now even the master can't escape its curse. I believe this must be the result of the monster's haunting."

Officer Henggou scratched his head and said with a headache, "How could this be?"

"I think this is a relationship that they fear too much psychologically. However, this is a suicide case and should not be wrong." After investigation, Mori Kogoro still insisted on his previous reasoning.

Officer Henggou nodded and continued to ask: "After four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered here. It was from this balcony that you found the tea ceremony master Ryozo Aonogi hanged in the tea ceremony room. I didn't say anything. wrong?"

Baiyan Maha recalled the situation at that time, and replied: "That's right, the lake water just turned red at that time. According to the rules of lake water change that Mr. Liangyi told us, it should be four o'clock."

Mori Kogoro turned his head to look at Ryoichi Aonogi, and asked for confirmation: "I remember Mr. Ryoichi just checked his watch at that time and confirmed the time, right?"

Ryo Aonogi nodded, and confirmed: "Yes, it was just after four o'clock, and I also looked at the tea ceremony room, but I didn't find that my father was hanged there."

Butler Hanazaki looked at Ms. Mimura with hostility, and added: "Soon after, Ms. Mimura came back, and something happened to Grandmaster."

"Well, I went out, but the matter of the master has nothing to do with me." Miss Mimura admitted this, shaking her folding fan lightly, but also said that she was innocent.

Police officer Henggou recorded everyone's confessions, and it was difficult to find any useful clues from them, so he continued to ask: "Where were you all before this?"

Yagura Morio pointed to his yukata and replied: "I was taking a bath at the time, and I stayed in the bathhouse for about three to ten minutes."

Ms. Sancun brushed the hair on her forehead, her eyes flickered slightly, and she replied with some reluctance: "I went out for a while because of some personal matters."

"Oh?" Police officer Henggou looked at Miss Sancun's unnatural face after hearing this, and asked suspiciously, "So, where have you been?"

"Mr. Police, that's my own private matter. I don't need to answer it." Ms. Mimura snorted softly, turned her head away arrogantly, and refused to answer this question.

"you"

Although police officer Henggou was annoyed by Ms. Mimura's lack of cooperation, he couldn't force her to answer, so he had to shift the questioning target and asked Butler Hanazaki, "Butler Hanazaki, but where are you?"

Butler Hanazaki pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and replied, "Because Grandmaster is going to invite some guests to dinner today, I will prepare dinner in the kitchen over there."

Officer Henggou nodded, then turned to look at Ryoichi Aonoki, waiting for the other party's answer.

Aoki Ryoichi lowered his head slightly, and replied: "At that time, I was in and out of the living room all the time."

Officer Henggou recalled the stiff relationship between him and Master Aonogi, and asked, "By the way, I just heard that your most precious fishing rod was burned by Master, isn't it wrong? There is something wrong between you two." What's the matter?"

Ryo Aonogi glanced at Yagura Moruo and Ms. Mimura apologetically, and replied truthfully: "To be honest, Dad asked me to attend the tea party tonight. He wanted me to attend the tea party mainly because he wanted to take the opportunity to announce that I will be the next grandmaster. .”

"Let you succeed? How is this possible?!"

"That's right, you don't know anything about the tea ceremony?!"

Morio Yagura and Ms. Mimura's expressions changed drastically when they heard the words, because they both thought that the next master would be born between them as disciples of the master, but they didn't expect the master to choose someone who was not interested in the tea ceremony at the last moment. Aonoki Ryoichi from Japan came to inherit the title of Grandmaster.

"Mr. Liangyi, did you agree to his request?" Police officer Henggou was not interested in who would inherit the title of Grandmaster, but it was related to the case, so he continued to ask.

Ryo Aonogi shook his head and replied: "How could I agree, I have no interest in the tea ceremony at all, so of course I rejected him directly."

After hearing Ryoichi Aonoki's answer, Yakura Moruo and Miss Mimura were obviously relieved, and ruled out a strong contender for the title of Grandmaster.
