Bandage fine tricks

When Megure Police Department and Kudo Shinichi came over to ask about the specific situation of the body discoverer, they saw the little girl with different pupils looking at her own wrist, as if she was studying something.

"Huh, it's you?" Kudo Shinichi was surprised to find that the person who discovered the murder was actually the Miss Xia Ji whom he met in the afternoon, "Xia...Miss Xiaoba."

Under those silent and oppressive gazes, the savior of the Japanese police subconsciously changed his name.

The stare that sent chills down his spine was gone.

Mumu Police Department cleared his throat: "Ahem, then please Xia, Xia...Xiaoba, please describe the process of discovering the body again!"

Forced the brave policeman to change his name, Xiao Hachi put on the coat of Ms. Miwako Sato, hummed, and began to describe the process of her "accidentally" discovering the corpse with a very well-behaved appearance: "I I accidentally slipped and fell into the river while running along the river bank at night. When I went upstream, I found that there seemed to be a human figure on the river bed-at first I thought it was the kind of plastic mannequin in the shopping mall. People with public morality threw it into the river and wanted to go and take it up, anyway, it is generally not heavy, but I didn't expect..."

As if recalling that process, she trembled, and her face turned pale again——Xiao Ba felt that it was a great loss for Huahuajia's entertainment industry that she didn't become an actor: "... I let go of my hands in a panic, crawled Immediately after going ashore, I found a nearby phone booth to call the police, and then I waited here for you to come over. During this period, no one near the river bank was approached."

Megure Police Department wrote it down in the notebook at hand, and Kudo Shinichi next to him asked curiously: "Accidentally fell into the river?"

He just checked the condition of the river bank. In some places, the river bank formed by the mixture of cement and stones has slipped, exposing the soil underneath, coupled with the erosion of the river, this made the muddy ground very slippery. If you accidentally slipped, you would fall into it. in the river.

But there are not many such places.

If Miss Xia Ji runs every night, it is impossible not to know the dangers of those places.

"Ah, um, today is my first night run..." After listening to Kudo Shinichi's question, Hachi scratched his head and said in embarrassment.

Night run on a whim?

Kudo Shinichi was thoughtful, not that he wanted to doubt, he also saw the half shoe print that slipped into the river, there was no problem, but his intuition seemed to have something wrong, but he couldn't find the reason, so he had to take it Ask where you can feel it.

——Having said that, he felt that Miss Xia Ji should not be the murderer.

"If it was my usual routine, I would probably still be sitting on the sofa in the study reading a book right now!" Xiao Ba said, "But today my guardian is here..."

She stopped talking, her expression seemed a little speechless.

Kudo Shinichi thought of the serious silver-haired man he saw in the morning, and the sword cocoon on the other's palm that was apparently sharpened with swords all year round, and he roughly understood Miss Xia Ji's unfinished words.

"So... in order to prevent him from arresting me and taking me to Yokohama to keep him under surveillance because of my irregular schedule, I can only honestly correct my attitude towards life..." Xiaoba couldn't help but sighed again when he said this.

——Yes, this is the requirement of Mr. Yukichi Fukuzawa before leaving, not only the report on the progress of the study, but also the regulations on daily life and work and rest time activities.

Xiao Ba felt that she had fallen into the hands of her stepfather——according to her understanding of her personality and the clues in Xia Ji's house, Xia Ji's parents had never been so strict with their daughter!

Kudo Shinichi, who also lives alone and whose parents are far away from abroad, cast a sympathetic look at the poor little girl.

Miserable in one word.

According to the requirements of the Mumu Police Department, he told all the information he knew. Considering that it was very late, Xiao Ba left his home phone number to the Mumu Police Department, and then returned home under the escort of a police officer.

It's already late at night, not the time for children to continue wandering outside.

Watching the back of the police officer disappear into the distant street from behind the window, Xiao Ba looked back at Mr. Ghost who was obediently staying ten meters away, and let out a long sigh.

——But, it's cat activity time!

A moment later, a black long-haired cat with different pupils briskly crossed the roof and rushed to the scene of the crime.

From the perspective of evolution, in the past few million years, the evolution direction of human beings can basically be said to be slashing their own force value all the way, sharp minions, hair to maintain body temperature, and upright walking to the spine. Huge pressure... Of course, corresponding to it is the increasingly powerful brain function, which is also why human beings have cut themselves from the Homo erectus who can hunt medium and large animals to the late Homo sapiens who are basically useless except for brains and endurance, but they are still multiplying all over the world important reason.

In other words, from the perspective of physical strength alone, quite a few animals can hang and beat humans.

such as smell.

A dog's sense of smell is a thousand times that of a human's. The dog with the best sense of smell in the world, the German Shepherd has only about 2.2 million olfactory cells, while cats have more than 2.4 million olfactory cells.

The reason why humans choose to train dogs to be police dogs to help solve crimes instead of cats is because most cats and cats will not pay attention to what Twolegs are saying...

The black long-haired cat with different pupils landed lightly, and lowered its head to carefully discern the smell on the river bank.

The flow of people on this river bank is obviously not much on weekdays, which leads to a lot of mixed smells left behind, giving Xiao Ba the feeling that he has strayed into a big dye vat, and the colorful colors in his eyes almost made her color blind.

Even so, she still has to find a color among these hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of colors.

The black long-haired cat with different pupils pitifully covered its nose with the pads of its front paws, with an unbearable and unbearable look on its face.

meow meow...

To be honest, in terms of various investigative methods, I don’t know if Xiao Ba, who is a half-way monk, is definitely not as good as a professional criminal policeman with a professional background and high-tech equipment, but she has cheats.

"Do you still remember where I lost consciousness?" As a cat and detective (Fog) with a plug-in, Xiao Ba did not hesitate to ask for help outside the venue.

Mr. Ghost, who was ordered to stay ten meters away from the cat, took his salivating gaze away from the long and soft hair of the black cat, recalled it carefully, and then pointed to a direction.

After a while, Xiao Ba reached the upper reaches of the river bed about a hundred meters away from where she found the body.

The cordon of the first search section has not been pulled to this side, so there is no one to be seen for the time being.

Xiao Ba looked at his own reflection in the river, stretched out a jiojio with a pink and tender pad, and tried to poke the river surface.

One second before the hair on the paw was wet by the river, she immediately retracted the paw.

It's uncomfortable when the hair becomes wet!

No, she is not a cat, why does she hate water!

... not right!What the hell is she doing, her!

Forcibly diverting his attention away, Xiao Ba began to think about another question:

Would a dead body move that much distance along the river bed in two days?The water in this river is not rushing, it can even be described as gentle...

The police currently judge that the time of death of the deceased is about two days, which can be seen directly from the body of the corpse that has just begun to look like a giant: it is currently summer, and the skin on the back of the hands and insteps of the deceased’s body is softened and swollen, showing a white wrinkled phenomenon. This is a phenomenon that does not appear until 48 hours after death.

But because the body was found in the water, the time of death is actually inaccurate: who knows whether the deceased was thrown into the water after death, or was thrown into the water after a while?

Even, changes in water temperature will greatly mislead the police in judging the time of death of the deceased.

Xiao Ba circled a few times around the bank of the river where Mr. Ghost lost consciousness in his memory.

The environment is too dim for humans, but for the cat, just the dim light on the side of the road is enough for her to see everything here clearly.

The black cat sits down on a ledge by the river bank and meditates.

He did smell his scent, and there was also a strange smell... If nothing else happened, that smell should be the murderer.

There is also the phenomenon of cement peeling off to expose the mud, and there are not many traces of struggle, and it may be washed away by the river...

Assuming that the murderer stunned the deceased first, and then pushed the head of the unconscious deceased into the water to force him to suffocate to death, the instinct of the human body will make the deceased wake up and struggle during this period. Judging from the scene here, the struggle is enough If it is violent, it should leave some traces...

Some traces that will not be washed away even if the river rises...

She jumped off the platform, landed lightly on the muddy floor, and walked along the cemented edge of the river bank until the place where the murderer should have drowned the dead.

After a few rounds of careful inspection, she found an inconspicuous beige on the side close to the grass.

Blood stains.

Because it was not facing the side of the river, the bloodstain was not washed away.

Sure enough, there was no trace of the slightest damage that was impossible under the struggle.

The black long-haired cat with different pupils carefully moved its pink nose towards it, sniffed it, and remembered the breath.

Little Ba jumped up to the guardrail on the side of the road, watching a ray of skylight emerge from the part where the sky and the earth meet in the distance.

The first crime scene was found, but how was she going to tell the police about it?

Maybe she didn't need to find a way to tip off the news.

After squatting on the bank of the river for a long time, the black cat with different pupils finally saw that the cordon of the first search section had been pulled upstream: it seemed that their autopsy had obtained quite a lot of clues.

Well, just leave it to the police here.

The black cat jumped off the guardrail beside the river embankment, and ran away lightly and quickly.

Three hours later, Hachi, who had changed back into a human form but was still able to follow the scent, and Kudo Shinichi, who was accompanied by the Megure Police Department, met at the door of a certain homestay.

"Xiaoba?" The high school student detective who selected multiple suspects through monitoring and deletion and was about to visit some of them was a little surprised to see the reporter who had been separated for most of the day. The latter changed into casual clothes, "Why do you it's here?"

Xiaoba: "..."

The slightly curly black-haired girl pondered for a few seconds and looked at the sky: "Probably the spirit of the deceased guided me here."

The soul of the deceased who still adhered to the "ten meters" distance was moved to tears: "Master Xia Ji discovered it himself, and I can't help you with anything..."

Xiaoba: ...shut up!Didn't talk to you!

Kudo Shinichi, who can't see any interaction: "..."

I believe in you asshole!
