After Officer Megure and others reached the second floor, Hoshino Sora took the elevator to the second floor with Sera. As soon as he entered, what he saw was the colorful graffiti on the surrounding walls.
"What kind of street art is this?" Hoshino Sora complained. Ahead, by the window, Chiba explained the situation to Officer Megure in front of the wheelchair, which he borrowed from the hotel.
Takagi suspected that the so-called ghost was created by Kamizumi in order to scare the media and the three victims.
Xiaomi was squatting in front of the wheelchair to check. Serang stepped forward to pick up the fishing line on the ground with a handkerchief, and found that there was a bunch of broken rubber bands wrapped around the end, and the source of the fishing line was in the wheelchair.
"This wheelchair was used by the murderer!" Xiao Mi said with certainty. Officer Memu looked out the window where the wheelchair was, then shook his head and said: "It's impossible, this is the second floor, and it's completely opposite from where the deceased fell. If a wheelchair was really used, how did it get here? What? Except for those of you who entered the annex afterwards, our people have not found anyone hiding here until now!"
"It must be a trap made of fishing lines~" Sora Hoshino said without thinking when he saw the messy fishing lines and strange rubber bands on the ground.
"Isn't it rumored that there is an unmanned wheelchair running around? This means that it is controlled by a remote control!" Officer Megure frowned and said: "Even if it is a remote control, how does it go downstairs? You can't use a wheelchair to press it with a long hand. Elevator, right?”
"Well... this must be the fishing line, yes, it's what the fishing line does!" Hoshino Sora circled back to the starting point.
"What agency? Tell me in detail~" Officer Megure asked quickly.
"Um...the wheelchair is only electric and does not have a remote control device..." Chiba had to interrupt,
"But I can ask the hotel." Hoshino Sora: "..." Fortunately, I didn't say that the wheelchair has a camera and a robotic arm!
"Detective Seriang mentioned before that the elevator stopped at the sixth and second floors, right?" Xiaomi suddenly spoke and asked Seriang.
"Yes, the security guard who was with me also saw this. You can also go to him to confirm." Seriang nodded.
"Yes, this allows the wheelchair to return from the sixth floor to the second floor!" Hoshino Sora suddenly realized.
"No!" Takagi shook his head repeatedly and pointed out the window.
"This is the north side of the building, and the place where the deceased fell to death is the southernmost side of the building. Chiba just turned off the wheelchair. Before that, it had been turned on and headed north. So, even if the murderer If you really use a wheelchair, the wheelchair will only take the deceased to the north, not the south!"
"This is actually not a problem. You can use fishing line and rubber bands to make the wheelchair turn." Xiaomi smiled slightly.
"Moreover, the elevator design of the annex is very interesting. It is two-way, that is, the north and south can communicate with each other..."
"What?" Officers Takagi and Megure were a little confused.
"What two-way?"
"Why don't we go to the sixth floor to have a look and feel the special elevator." While talking, Xiao Mi had already walked to the elevator and pressed the button.
Seriang couldn't help but look at Xiaomi seriously. To be honest, even if she was a girl, she was shocked. What surprised her even more was that this angel-like girl seemed to have figured out the trick!
This time, Hoshino Sora also went with him. Fortunately, the number of people was not very large. The three uncles and aunts all stayed at the crime scene, and Xiaolan and the others were not present either. The elevator was enough to carry everyone.
When the elevator reached the sixth floor, Officer Takagi and Megure, who had been confused before, suddenly became aware. They originally thought that the elevator door opened toward the south, which is the direction in which they came in, so they faced the entrance. When they reached the sixth floor, the elevator door suddenly opened from behind, which shocked them all.
Fortunately, none of them leaned back, otherwise they would be even more frightened, and of course they wouldn't fall. After all, Hoshino Sora wouldn't watch them fall.
"I see, this design... is quite unique!" Officer Memu said with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"Yeah~" Takagi agreed,
"Well, this is the floor where Mr. Kamizumi lives."
"It's the same as the second floor. It's all graffiti. Well, there are more graffiti than the second floor." Hoshino Sora looked around and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I heard that the hotel originally wanted to start renovating it in an hour..." Takagi said. Hoshino Sora walked straight to the large window without glass in front and looked down. He could see Xiaolan and the others below.
"Is this where the window was smashed by the deceased? Well, if you jump from here, you can also jump to the position where the deceased fell. Also, the window sill is about the same height as the wheelchair seat... Could it be that the deceased was sitting in a wheelchair? Then use the inertia to fall out, right? It's like a skateboard going downhill. After hitting a rock, the person flies out..." Officer Megure heard it and thought it made sense, but he still had a question.
"This is indeed a solution, but the problem is how to get the wheelchair back to the northernmost point on the second floor?"
"Officer, you have also ignored a question. Can the speed of an electric wheelchair really make people fly out? The reason why people are thrown out downhill is because the potential energy of gravity is converted into kinetic energy. People have enough speed, but here It's a flat surface, and with the speed generated by the kinetic energy of the electric wheelchair, I'm afraid it won't be able to throw an adult male out," Seriang reminded.
"What if we add a paint bucket?" Xiao Mi pointed to the empty paint bucket beside him.
"What will happen if the paint bucket is placed under the window sill and a wheelchair hits it?" Sora Hoshino took a few steps back, half-crouched, and walked forward with his hands parallel, simulating the movement of a wheelchair.
"After the collision, the wheelchair and the person must move forward due to inertia, but the pedals cannot move forward. Only the upper part of the wheelchair can move forward. By the way, if the deceased was sitting curled up in the wheelchair, then his whole body would Lying forward... It seems that he couldn't fall that far. At most, he fell vertically downstairs instead of falling into the parking space..." Xiao Mi stepped forward and pointed at Hoshino Sora's hands.
"You forgot about the armrests of the wheelchair. After the upper part of the wheelchair tilts forward, the armrests will inevitably hit the wall, which creates a second inertia. If you do it again with the tilt, it is enough to throw the person out. ." Takagi nodded repeatedly. Officer Megure nodded and couldn't help but said: "It sounds feasible, so the question is, how does the wheelchair get back to the second floor? What is the mechanism of the fishing line?" Xiaomi smiled slightly: " Then please ask Officer Megure to prepare fishing lines and rubber bands. Let’s simulate it and have a look. By the way, let’s call Ms. Hirukawa up and watch it together.”
"As expected of Xiaomi, he has actually seen through the trap of the fishing line! I hate this trap the most!" Hoshino Sora praised.
"I haven't tested it yet. If it fails, I won't be able to see anyone." Xiao Mi said with a smile.
