Hattori Heiji squatted in front of the corpse trace fixation line, thoughtfully:
"It seems that President Tsujitani was tied up with a rope, hit hard with a golf club, and finally died next to this table."
"Huh?" Toyama and Ye came over and asked curiously: "Heiji, how did you see it?"
"You see there are traces of ink here, right?"
Hattori Heiji said and raised his eyes again:
"It was probably when the deceased was struggling that he knocked over the bottle of ink on the table. He was probably worried that touching it would accidentally get it to other places, so the murderer ignored it and tied up the president directly..."
"That's not right." Ye Gengyi said.
"What? Brother Genichi...are you saying that there was something wrong with my reasoning just now?" Hattori Heiji was startled and quickly turned back to ask for advice.
"Looking at the arrangement of the items, the deceased should be right-handed, and the ink bottle is too close to the edge of the table. Placing it there will affect the work, and..."
Ye Gengyi tapped the tabletop and table corners with his fingers, "There are no traces of collision or movement."
"I see!"
Hattori Heiji suddenly realized, "If the ink was knocked down during the struggle between the deceased and the murderer, the table should not be so flat!"
"Well, in this state, it's as if the murderer accidentally spilled the ink." Conan agreed.
"Idiot! Why did the murderer do this..."
Mouri Kogoro retorted: "After the ink spilled onto the ground, President Tsujitani could reach out and touch it. Maybe he could also use the ink to leave clues related to the murderer..."
"Could it be that the murderer did it on purpose?" Mumu Shisan was surprised.
"Yes, the murderer probably spilled the ink on purpose so that President Tsujitani could leave a wrong pre-death message!"
When Hattori Heiji reasoned this, he was startled at first, "Uh, um... Speaking of which, he should have left a message before his death, right?"
"oh……"
Mumu Shisan took out a few photos from his pocket and said, "Beside the president's body, these four building blocks were scattered."
"Building blocks?" Hattori Heiji compared the shapes and said doubtfully, "But I see there are many more on the ground."
"No, only these four pieces have President Tsujiya's fingerprints and ink dripping on the ground. Look..."
Memu Shisan said, arranging the photos in rows to form a word.
"Toys? Or a mochi shop?"
Mouri Kogoro came over and muttered: "No matter how you look at it, these don't look like human names, do they?"
"Yes," Memu Shisan said with a helpless face, "So our police are currently unable to pinpoint the general scope of the suspect."
"No, I think the murderer must be someone the deceased knew!"
Hattori Heiji was very sure:
"Otherwise, he could just have killed the person directly after tying up the president and asking for the password to the safe. There is absolutely no need to deliberately knock over the ink and give the deceased a chance to leave a message before his death."
Apart from criminals, the only people who can easily say 'kill people directly' are detectives...
Ye Gengyi thought for a moment:
"Perhaps the purpose of knocking over the ink was that after the murderer killed President Tsujitani, he placed blocks in his hand to fake his death."
"Officer!" Hattori Heiji said immediately after hearing this: "Can you restore the position where these four blocks fell?"
"Also, Officer Megure," Conan added from the side: "I remember you said that only those 4 pieces were stained with ink and fingerprints. What about the others? Were the fingerprints of the deceased not detected on them?"
As expected of the God of Death, his reaction is really sharp... Hearing this, Ye Gengyi also cast his gaze over.
"No..." Megure Shisan shook his head and said while taking out the photos taken at the scene: "President Tsujiya's fingerprints were detected on all the building blocks on the ground, but only those four were stained with ink."
All?
Ye Geng understood clearly, "Well, the hypothesis that the murderer faked the death message is no longer valid."
"Eh? Why?"
Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan, who had been listening, finally couldn't help but ask questions.
The two of them felt that they could keep up with the rhythm when they entered the crime scene, but ever since Hattori Heiji and Ye Genichi discussed the bottle of ink, they couldn't understand it at all.
There was a kind of person who was still teaching that one plus one equals two at first, but he was just in a daze for a moment. Then he looked at the blackboard and it was already about functions and calculus...
"Because fingerprints are leftover from the sweat and oil secreted on the hands when a person is alive and touches objects. Once a person dies, the body will no longer secrete these substances..."
Hattori Heiji explained:
"Brother Gengyi means that if the fingerprints are only on these four blocks, it is indeed possible that the murderer deliberately forged death information, but the fingerprints of the deceased are all on more than fifty blocks, which can only mean that this It’s the evidence that President Tsujitani left behind when he was groping for it piece by piece when he was still alive.”
"Eh? But, it's also possible that the murderer threatened him and asked him to leave fingerprints on every building block?" Yuan Shan and Ye were confused.
"Come on, are you stupid?"
Hattori Heiji looked blankly:
"Look carefully at the environment at the scene. When President Tsujitani fell to the ground, his hands were already tied behind his back. It was so close to the table. If the murderer wanted to force or threaten him, even the police could Found similar traces!”
What do you mean, even the police can find similar traces?
Memu Shisan on the side couldn't help but twitch his lips... That's why he felt that these detectives were a little too disrespectful to them?
"Police department, where is the murder weapon? Was it left at the scene?"
Ye Geng was not interested in reasoning competitions. He just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible and then go back to count the remaining materials.
If possible, he hopes that he can do research within the scope of reason next time... Of course, it is really difficult to control when the energy comes up.
"Oh, yes."
Memu Shisan turned his head and greeted, "Takagi..."
"yes!"
Takagi Wataru turned around and went out, and soon brought two items wrapped in evidence bags.
A blazer and a golf club.
"The items were all found in the break room of President Tsujitani's company. We have tested the blood stains on them and can basically determine that these are the items used by the murderer during the murder."
When Mumu Shisan said this, he sighed again, "Sigh... It's just that we still don't know the murderer's motive for doing this."
"Um?"
Hattori Heiji's eyes fell on the suit jacket, "It's strange, look at the left shoulder, there is a blood stain that is too light, as if it was rubbed against something."
"Yes, that's one of the problems. We searched the entire office and couldn't find any place where there was blood..."
Mumu Shisan analyzed:
"Because the gloves worn by the prisoner when he committed the crime were not found, we can only temporarily assume that he got blood on his gloves when he was taking off his clothes."
