The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

The investigation points at the murder scene will not appear for no reason.

And just now when analyzing with Kuroda Heibei, it was concluded that the murderer was likely to want to frame Yamato Gansuke, so he deliberately burned the body on the route where Yamato usually did morning exercises and let passers-by see it.

Maybe the special hanging rope made of these two rope loops was also for framing...

You know, Yamato Gansuke has always had the habit of touching evidence without wearing gloves.

When he took the body off the ceiling just now, he had already touched the rope loop on the upper part.

And the two rope loops set by the murderer, Qin Zhibo remembered that they often appeared in magic shows.

This magic rope loop can seamlessly swap the upper and lower rope loops.

Once someone does this, the upper rope loop can be swapped to the rope loop around the neck of the corpse.

The forensic police made another identification, which was equivalent to directly finding Yamato Gansuke's fingerprints on the rope that strangled the deceased.

Next, just see who will do this...

...

Soon, Zhu Fu Gaoming squatted beside the body and completed the preliminary autopsy.

Like the body in the morning, this body also had an "X" sign on its forehead.

"The estimated time of death is between one hour ago and one and a half hours ago."

"Since there are Yoshikawa lines on Mr. Shikano's neck that were formed during resistance, he was probably strangled to death by someone from behind, and then hung on the ceiling with a rope."

The short and fat policeman named Sanzhi Mamoru from the Takeda Group wondered, "Then there is more than one murderer?"

"Just now, we dispatched three people to put Mr. Shikano down..."

At this time, Kuroda Heibei said in a deep voice, "No, as long as you put the chair on the table and let the body sit on it, even one person can hang him up."

"Even people with limited mobility can do it..."

Kuroda Heibei did not mean to imply something, but directly pointed out Yamato Gansuke beside him.

This surprised Qin Zhibo.

Didn't he just analyze it for him that Yamato Gansuke could not be the murderer?

But on second thought, Kuroda Heibei directly expressed his suspicion of Yamato Gansuke in front of everyone, probably to make the murderer paralyzed and careless, thinking that his plan had worked.

Yamato Gansuke's attitude was even calmer, as if he didn't understand, and he replied lightly, "Indeed."

Just then, the phone rang in the room.

Everyone looked down at their mobile phones, but they all said that it was not their mobile phones.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo pointed at Shikano Akira's pocket, "Could it be the mobile phone on the deceased?"

Morifu Takaaki, who was squatting next to the corpse, took his mobile phone out of his pocket. Sure enough, there was a text message on it.

Morifu Takaaki looked at it and introduced to everyone

"Mr. Shikano's mobile phone received a text message from Team Leader Takeda's mobile phone..."

"Could it be sent by the suspect who killed Team Leader Takeda?"

Since Team Leader Takeda's mobile phone was not found at the scene this morning, Uehara Yui could only guess so.

"It is very likely."

Morifu Takaaki responded and then continued to read the content of the text message.

"There are three woodpeckers left..."

Hearing this, the police were shocked.

Kuroda Heibei murmured in a hoarse voice: "I see..."

"From the woodpecker mark left on Shikano's forehead, plus the murderer's words in the text message, 'there are three woodpeckers left', the murderer's target is most likely us detectives."

"Great, let him see what will happen if he is against us police officers..."

The remaining eyebrows on Kuroda Heibei's single eye slanted slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a dark smile like a villain.

However, while everyone was attracted by the text message and Kuroda Heibei's speech, Akiyama Shinsuke, who was also squatting next to the corpse, made a small move.

He kept squatting and holding his head up, but his little hand quietly approached the rope loop, and slightly pulled the rope loop on the corpse's neck, and the two rope loops completed the upper and lower positions.

In this way, Yamato Gansuke originally touched the upper half of the rope, and it became the lower half.

After doing all this, he still didn't give up.

"Report to Officer Yamato, what do you think of the rope around Mr. Shikano's neck?"

"What?"

Yamato Gansuke leaned over and touched the rope without wearing gloves, muttering: "It's really unusual..."

"Wait a minute, Agan, put on your gloves quickly."

Finally, Uehara Yui couldn't stand Yamato Gansuke's rough behavior of disrespecting the murder scene.

But Yamato Gansuke had his own logic and argued.

"What does it matter? When I put him down just now, my hand had already touched the rope."

In this regard, Qin Zhibo could only purse his lips, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

It seems that the murderer is Akiyama Shinsuke.

He took advantage of Yamato Gansuke's dislike of wearing gloves to make fingerprints on both rope loops.

In this way, when the police identify the rope later, they will also detect his fingerprints on the rope loops that he didn't touch.

But this still doesn't count as evidence.

Although Qin Zhibo saw Akiyama Shinsuke's dirty little hand with his own eyes, even if he said it out loud, he could still use the excuse that he touched it accidentally.

It seems that the murderer is still not easy to catch as long as he is free from the shackles of staying at the scene after the murder...

"By the way, Gansuke..."

At this time, Zhufu Gaoming, who was standing opposite, suddenly spoke again, "I heard that a witness saw you near the bridge where Mr. Sumita's body was found this morning..."

Before Zhufu Gaoming finished speaking, Yamato Gansuke stood up impatiently and retorted: "Didn't I tell you that I didn't pass that bridge?"

"Anyway, they probably saw the wrong person..."

After saying that, Yamato Gansuke was about to run out.

But Kuroda Heibei also pointed at him again with words, "It's really not easy for you to be misunderstood with your character?"

"We are both on the same side, Kuroda, the chief of the first investigation section..."

Both of them have one eye, one with a bad left eye and one with a bad right eye.

Both of them stood in each other's blind spot and exchanged a not very friendly look.

As for the other police officers present, except for Yui Uehara who showed a worried expression, the others were either shocked or calm.

Especially Takaaki Morifushi, who looked indifferent, as if the quarrel between his team members and his superiors had nothing to do with him.

And when Kuroda Heibei had already analyzed that Yamato Gansuke was unlikely to be the murderer, he still repeatedly used this topic to touch Yamato Gansuke...

And Takaaki Morifushi, did he really not trust his childhood friend?

Qin Zhibo looked thoughtful.

Are these people acting for the murderer?

…

Half an hour later, the search for evidence at the scene came to a temporary end.

The body and related evidence were first transported back to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters by police cars for further investigation and evidence collection.

During this period, Qin Zhibo stayed in the police station with the three Yamatos and the other two people from the Takeda Group to wait for the results.

Qin Zhibo sat on a bench and thought about the current situation.

Just now at Kano Akira's house, I received a text message from the murderer saying that there were three woodpeckers left.

In other words, Akiyama Shinsuke has three targets left.

Qin Zhibo looked up and glanced at the Nagano police who were gathered around the vending machine and waiting for the results of the identification.

If it is assumed that the members of the Takeda Group are all members of the Woodpecker Club, then the fat policeman Sanzhi Mamoru who is still alive must be one of the targets.

Yamato Gansuke, although not a member of the Takeda Group, is the target of the murderer's main frame-up.

Who is the remaining person?

Qin Zhibo looked around and still felt that Akiyama Shinsuke's last target should be himself.

Otherwise, he would be the only one alive in the Takeda Group, and he would definitely be suspected.

At this moment, on the other side of the corridor, Yamato Gansuke and Zhufu Gaoming had a disagreement and confronted each other again.

"Hey! Gao Ming, are you doubting me?"

"That's right, Ganzhu, at present, only you are suspicious. After all, you are the best friend of the prisoner who was shot nine years ago, and you also raised objections to the bank robbery case half a year ago..."

The two of them stared at each other, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Zhu Fu Gao Ming said in a calm tone: "As the saying goes, the worms on the lion eat the lion's flesh."

To speak human words, it means there is a ghost inside.

"You stinky boy..." Yamato Ganzhu glared at Zhu Fu Gao Ming and spoke angrily.

Akiyama Shinsuke, who was not far away, came over at this time and opened his mouth to persuade him to stop fighting.

"How could Officer Yamato be the murderer?"

"And Officer Zhu Fu should be very clear about this, right? After all, you are best friends who grew up together..."

As soon as Akiyama Shinsuke finished speaking, Zhu Fu Gao Ming, who was always calm, showed a rare anger on his face.

"Best friend?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this..."

Yamato Gansuke didn't give in at all, and cast a disdainful look with his only intact left eye, "Yeah, I've never had this idea either."

"Enough, I'm going to investigate the case by myself next! Tell Section Chief Kuroda for me!"

"Hmph, whatever you want." Zhufu Gaoming didn't try to stop him.

Yamato Gansuke limped away along the corridor alone on crutches.

Uehara Yui reached out to stop him, but she didn't open her mouth after all.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on a chair and eating melons calmly, saw the scene of the end of friendship.

Uh...

Either the murderer was so lucky that everything was going as he expected.

Or these two people were acting together here.

Because even if others didn't know, Yamato Gansuke himself should know that someone pretended to be him and appeared on the bridge this morning, which was definitely not a coincidence.

But since Yamato Gansuke has acted alone, it depends on how the murderer responds.

As expected by Qin Zhibo, not long after Yamato Gansuke left, Akiyama Shinsuke's phone rang.

He took out his phone and took a look at the content on it, and his expression was slightly shocked.

"Akiyama, what happened?" Zhu Fu Gaoming asked with a glance.

"No, nothing..." Akiyama Shinsuke smiled and scratched his head, "Everyone, I'll go back and change my clothes first. I was outside in the rain to get information just now, and my clothes are all wet..."

After that, he left with a smile.

Qin Zhibo knew that he was going to pick up Yamato Gansuke who was alone.

"It seems that this case can only be handled like this for now..."

"Please tell Officer Kuroda that I'll go back first."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo stood up from the bench and left.

"Ah? Why did you all leave?"

Looking at Qin Zhibo's departing back, Uehara Yui's eyes were still a little reluctant.

She was not reluctant to leave Qin Zhibo, but now all kinds of evidence were unfavorable to Yamato Gansuke, and even Gao Ming began to doubt Gansuke.

Now only Qin Zhibo, the famous detective, could help Yamato Gansuke.

But at such a critical moment, the famous detective left?

Uehara Yui thought of her match with Qin Zhibo and felt that Qin Zhibo had absolutely no reason to let him go.

The reason for leaving early can only mean that the candidate for the murderer has been determined.

Could it be that Agan is really...

This is impossible!

Agan is impossible to kill people!

Just when Uehara Yui was worried, Zhufu Gaoming looked at Qin Zhibo's departing back calmly, and his elegant mustache rose slightly.

...

Outside the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters.

In the parking lot, Akiyama Shinsuke walked quickly to his parking space and inserted the car key he had already taken out into the car door.

As he opened the car door, he raised a smug smile on his pouting lips.

Even when he was designing this series of plans, he didn't expect that the plan would be so smoothly executed.

Not to mention Team Leader Takeda and Kano Akira, these two people were destined to die.

But Akiyama Shinsuke originally thought that it would not be so smooth to let Yamato Gansuke bear the suspicion.

Because he knew Yamato Gansuke's style of doing things, which seemed rough, but in fact rough and meticulous, he could often find points that others could not see.

But this time, Yamato Gansuke did not notice the trap he had specially customized for him.

Now Yamato Gansuke has been suspected by his superiors and colleagues and has fallen into a state of isolation. It is a good opportunity for him to take action to enter the next stage.

Akiyama Shinsuke was sitting in the car, and just as he was about to step on the accelerator, a voice came from outside.

"Wait a minute!"

Akiyama Shinsuke was stunned for a moment, and when he looked in the rearview mirror, it turned out to be Qin Zhibo who was chasing him from behind.

Why did the detective follow him?

Did he find something?

Two drops of cold sweat appeared on Akiyama Shinsuke's forehead. He clenched the steering wheel with his hands, but still lowered the car window and put on a normal expression.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Qin?"

"Haha~"

Qin Zhibo smiled heartily at first, and then showed an embarrassed expression, "Actually, I'm a little tired, and the case doesn't seem to have made much progress, so I want to find a place to rest first."

"It just so happens that you also have to go home to change clothes, so you can drop me off at a place where I can stay overnight..."

Hearing Qin Zhibo's request, Akiyama Shinsuke's expression was stunned.

What? It turns out to be just like this...

"No problem!"

"Then I'll drive you a ride."

Thanks to the magical angel for the reward!
