Bandage fine tricks

Mr. Yasui was still thinking about what Xiaoba said until he returned to the police station after dinner.

Recreating the scene is the basic skill of the police. After understanding the situation at the scene, the police will do a reproduction of the scene at that time, but most of these are just verbal or written descriptions of the scene. It's... a live reenactment.

Miss Xiaoba is a young detective recognized by Mr. Ranpo, and she will definitely not aim at nothing.

Taking into account the trust brought by Mr. Ranpo and those cases that Mrs. Xiaoba helped to solve in the past, Mr. Yasui quickly made a decision to ask his subordinates to bring relevant equipment, notify everyone present when the murder happened, evacuate irrelevant personnel, and prepare to re-open the case. work now.

Considering that the murder happened in the afternoon, Mr. Yasui specially waited until the afternoon of the next day, almost at the same time as the murder, and signaled his subordinates to start.

The policeman in charge of acting as the deceased in the center of the square immediately began to move, indicating that he was giving a speech at that time, and the relevant personnel in charge of security and secretarial work also stood at their respective positions when the case happened, making gestures of paying attention to the surrounding environment or listening to his speech action.

When the clock pointed to the time of the murder, the police officer who played the role of the murderer on the sniper building immediately fired—of course it was an empty gun—and the loud gunshots echoed between the buildings.

Hearing the gunshot, the deceased fell down, and the security guard who made the prompt at the time pointed to the sniper building: "Where did it come from!"

— This was his reaction at the time.

Mr. Yasui was stunned, but the instinct of the policeman made him almost grab the security guard: "How do you know where the sniper came from!?"

The captured security guard was a little dazed: "Because, because the sniper came from there..."

"Yasui-kun?" asked another Jipu Police Department who was also in charge of this case.

"Didn't you notice it?! The gunshot just now echoed above the building, who can tell where it came from!?"

Everyone was awakened by Mr. Yasui's words, and the Jipu Police Department almost immediately used the walkie-talkie to order the subordinates who were attacking the upstairs: "Change to another building, whichever building you choose, and then shoot again! "

Although the subordinate who stayed on the sniping building did not understand why, he unconditionally obeyed the request from his boss. He packed up his equipment, ran downstairs, moved to another building, and fired another shot into the sky.

boom--!

This time, everyone who had been mentally prepared tried to identify the source of the gunshots: the terrain of this square is that the central open space is surrounded by surrounding buildings, forming an almost circular valley bottom, that is to say, if it is on several nearby buildings When a gun is fired, the sound is reflected and transmitted to that location, and it is completely impossible to judge where the gunshot came from.

So, here comes the question, why was the security guard able to tell where the gunshots came from the first time the murder happened?

Mr. Yasui stared closely at the security guard who was firmly grasped by him: "Now, this gentleman, please tell me now, where did the gunshots come from!"

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the security guard's face: "That, that... I didn't pay attention just now..."

He also wants to die.

"Then please get ready." The Jipu Police Department looked coldly at this security guard who was not suspected of much, but now he was almost synonymous with criminal suspects, and said to his subordinates through the walkie-talkie, "Fire again."

boom--!

Loud gunfire echoed above the building, but it was impossible to tell where it was coming from.

——The only person who can know where the gunshots are coming from in this situation is the one who knows where the sniper is in advance.

The security guard was immediately taken down by the police officers for interrogation. Not only that, but the next detection work will focus on this man. Obviously, although he was not the sniper who did the shooting at that time, he and the sniper There is a great connection.

There has been a major development in the case, but Mr. Yasui is thinking about the girl he saw yesterday.

The murderer can be found by recreating the scene... Does this sentence mean that Miss Xiao Ba already knew who the murderer was?

... What are you kidding, he just chatted with Miss Xiaoba for a few words about the case. He originally hoped to know from her about Mr. Ranpo's next schedule to see if he could accept the commission from the police station, but in the end...

With just a few words, Xiao Ba knows who the murderer is?

It's too much!

...Although looking back now, if you had noticed the special source reflection phenomenon that would be formed at the scene of the murder, then when he mentioned that the murder happened, a security guard immediately pointed to where the sniper was. If it is the direction of the suspect, then one of the suspects can almost be locked on this security guard.

Mr. Ranpo has [super-reasoning] supernormal ability, so he can tell who is the murderer at a glance. Miss Xiaoba is just an ordinary person!

Without [Super Reasoning], she was able to know who the murderer was so quickly...

"Could it be that the Japanese police are really hopeless? It has been reduced to the point where a junior high school girl who has not yet graduated from junior high school is needed to help solve the case..." Mr. Yasui sighed, clutching his forehead.

"That's amazing, Mr. Yasui! As expected, the Yasui police department has cracked so many cases, and they have noticed this blind spot in thinking!" After finishing the rest of the work, the Jipo police department came over and hammered Mr. Yasui's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Although the sniper hasn't been found yet, the case has almost been solved, and you can be promoted."

The security guard failed to withstand the psychological pressure exerted by the interrogation experts and confessed everything: he was the one who planned the murder, and the sniper was a professional killer hired by him.

As for the reason for the murder, it was probably because the deceased had helped cover up the crimes committed by the son of an entrepreneur for the funds needed for the election.

The entrepreneur's son played with and murdered a woman, and then threw the woman's body in the forest. When it was discovered, the body had been gnawed to pieces by wild animals.

But even so, you can still vaguely see the marks on it that don't belong to wild beasts.

At the request of the councilor, the local police closed the case with the fact that the woman "accidentally" went to the forest and got lost and encountered a wild beast.

The entrepreneur's son got away with it with impunity.

The woman who died tragically and has been wronged until now is the former girlfriend of the security guard.

Without this episode, they would have been married long ago—at that time, they had already reached the stage of discussing marriage. The entrepreneur’s son met the woman in his family’s shopping mall. At that time, the two were buying a new home for marriage. furniture.

The policemen who asked about this past case were silent.

"But isn't the murderer who caused your girlfriend's death the entrepreneur's son? Why did you choose to attack the congressman?" Jipu Police Department asked.

The security guard who got his revenge laughed: "Why do you think I didn't attack him?"

The real culprit who caused the tragic death of his beloved girlfriend, why did they think he would let him go?

Having a bad feeling, Mr. Yasui hurriedly contacted the entrepreneur mentioned in the confession, and learned that his son had gone to the snow-capped mountains for several days and hadn’t contacted his family—because he often did this, so there were not many entrepreneurs. think.

One case led to two other cases. The shooting and killing of a congressman caused a wide range of involvement that Mr. Yasui, who took over the case at the time, could not have imagined.

A few days later, Osamu Dazai, who learned from a newspaper report that the shooting case of a congressman had been closed and that the murderer had been arrested, read the entire report and looked at Hachi who was sitting next to him writing: "Hachi already knew Who is the murderer?"

"I've been to that square before." Xiao Hachi, who temporarily borrowed Mr. Dazai's desk to write some things, continued to work without looking up, "Even if I was in that environment, I couldn't tell who came from the top. The source of the sound, so I thought there was something wrong with the security guard who first discovered the source of the gunshot."

Mao Mao's ears are very sensitive, but even if she is there, she can't tell the source of the sound at all. From this, Xiao Ba judges that unless he knows the location of the sniper in advance, it is impossible to judge the source only by distinguishing the sound. It's simply impossible.

It's the same even if she has the supernatural power of voice - her sense of hearing is so powerful that it can be compared with the supernatural power of voice.

"It turned out that they were able to crack that case because of Xiaoba's help! Let me just say, why didn't Mr. Yasui come to ask me for help this time." Mr. Ranpo, who had already returned from a business trip, chewed a thick snack and said, "As expected My disciple, Xiao Ba is really amazing!"

As he spoke, he handed over a pack of thick snacks at hand: "This is for Xiao Ba!"

——A detective is not a cheapskate, they are all children of the president's family, so of course a detective has to take on the responsibility of an older brother to take care of his younger siblings, and it is easy to praise the younger sister for her achievements!

Xiao Ba turned her head to look at Mr. Ranpo, and confirmed that she was not being polite—she was very impressed with Mr. Ranpo's food protection—she took it with a smile: "Then I won't be polite!"

"Speaking of which, why did Xiao Hachi come to the detective agency today? School will start soon, right?" Kunikida Doppo who had just finished handling the affairs at hand finally realized this matter.

Because Hachi blended in so naturally, sitting in Dazai's station was so suitable that he even forgot that his student was not a member of the detective agency...

Seriously, can he apply to assign Dazai's position to Hachi?Anyway, that guy Dazai usually pushes the paperwork to himself, he doesn't need such a thing as a desk...

"Although Weizhong Academy hasn't graduated yet, the enrollment in the academy city has been confirmed. I'm going to the academy city to report in advance, so I came to the detective agency first. Anyway, it's on the way!" Finally Xiao Ba said after finishing the matter at hand.

As for Mr. Guochang Road Dajue's mention of "You can also report to the Supernatural Special Affairs Section", Xiaoba ruthlessly ignored it...
