"If I guess correctly, this should be a trick used by the prisoner!" Sonoko opened her eyes wide and imagined her appearance as a queen.
Several people cast curious glances.
Sonoko continued, "Isn't this very common? The mystery of shoe prints left on the snow!"
She stepped hard on the snow, leaving a deep shoe print.
It's exactly the same depth as Hikawa Shogo's shoe print alone.
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, "I know! This is indeed a trick used by the murderer!"
Everyone looked curious.
Maori Kogoro's confidence shone, "Listen carefully, the prisoner first used poison or something to kill the glacier at the lakeside and pretended to have a heart attack.
Then put on the shoes that were prepared in advance and the same ones as the glacier, and carry him straight to here.
The prisoner then threw the glacier down, snatched the electric shock rod from him, and walked back along the shoe prints left by him on the way back. "
Conan smiled bitterly, as expected he still couldn't believe his uncle's reasoning.
Yuanzi was also confused, "Walk backwards? Is this possible?"
"Of course! Watch it!"
Mouri Kogoro said while taking action on his own.
First step on a few shoe prints on the snow, and then follow the footprints and walk backwards again, like a zombie dancing, which is weird no matter how you look at it.
that's all.
Before he could take two steps, he tripped over his left foot and fell onto the snow.
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Everyone: "..."
At this time, Chun Riling also took a few steps back at will, and each step was exactly in the original position. There was no stiffness in the limbs and torso like the uncle's.
"Uncle Maori's method is quite reasonable. At least I can do it."
"Look! Nahana proved it for me! My reasoning is absolutely perfect, hahahahaha!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly changed his face, got up, raised his head and showed his signature laugh.
Conan helplessly held his forehead, not everyone has practiced like Naika!
"But the prisoner probably didn't do this." Kasuga Ling added.
Suddenly.
Mouri Kogoro's smile was like broken porcelain. He suddenly turned his head, "What?!"
Kasuga Ling stepped forward and stretched out his hand from his pocket, "Look, isn't there a lot of snow in Mr. Glacier's hat?"
"It's true, but Naihua, what does this mean?" Xiaolan still wasn't sure.
"I know it too! The criminal used a very simple trick!" Conan's lips curved with confidence.
"Eh?" Everyone was a little surprised and confused.
A simple trick?
"Ara, since Conan already knows, let him say it!" Kasuga Ling chuckled.
Conan coughed dryly and was about to speak.
The next second.
However, the girl spoke a lot of words in an instant with fast speed and clear enunciation.
“It was snowing just now, and the prisoner came from the lake with Mr. Glacier, started here, and then pretended to have a heart attack to kill him.
The snow that fell later covered up the shoe prints of the two of them.
After the snow stopped, the murderer put on the same shoes that he had prepared for the glacier, and then walked back to the lake slowly without worrying about his pace.
This way, only one kind of shoe print will be left. "
Conan was stunned, "Wha, what??!"
Chun Riling noticed Xiao Zai's confused expression that day, silently blushed, and smiled even more.
Conan had a dark look on his face, but the girl stopped talking and he would add the end.
"The evidence is that there was a lot of snow accumulated in the hood of the glacier coat. I guess the prisoner had to sweep the snow off his head and shoulders after the snow stopped, so that everyone would misunderstand that he came after the snow stopped."
Xiaolan thought for a moment, "However, this trick... also requires us to find the body immediately, right?
If no one notices it and it keeps snowing, the hard-earned footprints will disappear. "
Mouri Kogoro sat on the snow, holding his head with one hand, "In other words, the guy who committed the crime already knew that we would pass this place, right?"
Conan thought so too, and the prisoner might have brought us here on purpose...
He looked at Tono Mizuki.
And at this time.
Tono Mizuki also said nervously, "As long as we have read the brochure of the snow walking activity, we should be able to calculate the time when we all pass here."
Conan: "..." That's right.
Kasuga Ling put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Hikawa Shogo's body, and then came to Conan's side with interest.
He knelt down and whispered in his ear.
"Shinichi, do you believe me now? If you talk too secretly, it will be awkward."
Conan choked and replied.
"This is just a coincidence."
However.
The girl didn't seem to listen to what he said, but was thinking to herself, "Then the prisoner must be Yamao Keisuke, a guy who has been in prison."
Conan: "..."
With a silent sigh, he raised his head and said, "Nene, Miss Ruishu, what is ahead along this trail?"
Tono Mizuki subconsciously answered, "Muto's lodge."
"Mr. Muto's?" Conan was startled.
Tono Mizuki nodded, "However, as far as I know, there is a village road that can drive past that hut."
Hearing this, Yuantai raised his head and said in surprise, "Is this the path we took on the snowmobile last night?"
"Why doesn't Hikawa go that way?" Tono Mizuki touched his chin, lost in thought.
Conan took a breath, no, it was Mr. Hikawa and Yamao... Bah... and the prisoner who deliberately did not take that road.
What is the purpose of walking from the sparsely populated lakeside through the snowfield to the lodge?
He was confused and a little embarrassed at the same time, he was confused by Naihua's logic.
…
The scene changes.
The Shinrō Prefecture police have arrived at the villa in Kitanosawa Village and are interrogating Takehiko Muto, Keisuke Yamao, Fuyumi Tachihara and Mizuki Tono, friends of the deceased, together with Kogoro Mori in the restaurant.
Chun Riling and others were sitting at another table not far away and watching.
"Mr. Glacier's body has been sent to the University Hospital for detailed investigation by the medical examiner. It was initially determined that he had suffered a heart attack.
But whether it was a natural death or someone's fault, the answer must be obtained through detailed examination and autopsy. "Officer Sasamoto looked at the four people in front of him and said calmly.
Takehiko Muto was shocked, "Someone did it? Does it mean that the glacier was killed by someone?"
"It's impossible to tell at this stage." Officer Watanabe said warmly, his accent was very slow, like a lullaby.
So much so that Kasuga Ling, who had listened to him before, had fallen asleep on the table.
The girl placed one of her white and tender hands on Conan's and held it. He only blushed slightly, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness and excitement in his heart.
Especially Dr. A Li looked at him several times, that look, that look that words cannot express.
Conan felt a little unable to sit still, but fortunately, the girl moved her hand tightly, as if she was grabbing it herself, which caused Dr. Ali to misunderstand.
What Dr. Agasa thinks is that Nana, who probably has lost her memory, can only feel safe when facing Conan.
Although she looks optimistic on the surface, how strong can a 17-year-old girl be in her heart?
And still while losing his memory.
