Yamato Gansuke tried cardiopulmonary first aid and sighed after a moment:
"No...she's already dead."
already dead……
These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Long Weijing to lose consciousness for a moment. His arm holding the reins subconsciously exerted force, and the horse also neighed.
Yamato Kansuke looked over there, and decisively took out his cell phone to call for police support:
"Hello? I'm Yamato. A serial murder occurred in the woods near Torada's house. Bring the forensic officer from my team here immediately!"
"Serial murder?"
Mouri Kogoro was startled, and he didn't understand why this detective, who had met several times before, would come to such a conclusion.
"There is a dead centipede under the tree." Ye Gengyi took the initiative to explain the situation to some detectives who were unable to get close enough to examine the scene carefully.
After all, in order to recover the tracker just now, I did something that I would rarely do after encountering a fatal accident.
However, these can be explained by the status of experts from the Technical Association, provided that at least in this case, the overall performance does not appear too abrupt.
Otherwise, after just taking the initiative to rescue the person, the behavior of standing still and saying nothing would inevitably cause the two detective boys who were ordered not to approach the scene to distract their thoughts and think about other things.
"On the rainy muddy ground around the body, except for... this gentleman's shoe prints, my shoe prints and the marks of crutches, there are no traces of the high heels worn by the deceased at all, and..."
Yamato Gansuke turned on the camera function of his mobile phone and while fixing the evidence, he said: "The rope that hung her was dry, but there were no signs of anyone climbing up on the tree trunk after the rain. This is simply an impossible crime. .”
"Hey! Geng Yi was with us just now. It's normal that there are a row of shoe prints that he just put down. But what you said..."
Mouri Kogoro stared at Yamato Gansuke, "It's very strange to appear alone in the forest. Could there be footprints there before we came here?"
Yamato Gansuke said: "I originally took the police officers to go to Torada's house to understand some situations, but I happened to hear you looking for Ryuubi Ayaka in the woods. After searching separately, I discovered her..."
"This is too coincidental..."
Mouri Kogoro questioned: "Could it be that you secretly contacted Ms. Ayaka with your mobile phone, tricked her into coming here and then killed her?"
Use a mobile phone... This method is feasible... Well, it seems that I really need to change my thinking. Don't start making wild associations whenever you encounter a suspected 'weird' situation...
Okay... This tool man's observation angle is sometimes unexpectedly sensitive.
Ye Geng glanced at Mouri Kogoro.
On the side, Conan helped testify, saying: "I saw clearly that before Brother Gengyi and Mr. Detective put Ms. Ayaka down, there were no shoe prints or traces of a cane on the soil under the tree."
"Officer Yamato, check her pockets first." Ye Gengyi said.
In such a short period of time, even if only one storage medium is damaged, I can still recover some of the data on it.
"Um……"
Yamato Gansuke responded, put on his gloves and started rummaging through Tatsuo Ayaka's backpack. After a moment, he shook his head: "There is no mobile phone in it. It seems that there is a possibility that she was killed after being called out by the serial murderer."
I heard the term 'serial murderer' again.
A group of people are inevitably a little nervous.
Only the oldest Ryūbi Moriyo still firmly believes that this is Takeda Shingen's curse. She angrily accused her younger generation of causing such a natural disaster just because she and the younger members of the Torada family searched for treasures, and the dead centipede was proof of it!
All right……
Ignoring these distractions, it is much easier to know who the murderer is...
Ye Gengyi took a few steps back, no longer leaving any traces of the scene, and walked around to a position where he could observe the ground behind the tree.
Based on signal feedback from the tracker.
Tatsuo Ayaka had moved here at a faster speed before, but it was obvious that there were still no shoe prints on the ground here.
——Some are just a row of horse hoof prints.
The people who came here on horseback were Tatsuei Torada, Kage Ryuubi and Yui Uehara.
From the direction, the last two people can be directly eliminated, and the only one left is Tatsuei Tatsuei, who is naturally the real culprit who brought the deceased here to kill him.
Hmm... Do you need to suggest that Yamato Kansuke search her?
No, items like mobile phones do not have to be taken away after killing the person. She can use some kind of words to make mentally fragile people like Tatsuo Ayaka hand over in advance.
There is insufficient evidence... Likewise, because the tracker is a clue that cannot be revealed, the direction of the horse's hoofprints cannot be revealed.
Tsk... That's why it's more troublesome to help the police with the investigation.
Ye Gengyi walked back calmly and returned to Hutian's house with everyone.
The shoe prints on the ground in the courtyard in front of the wing confirmed that the armored figure that Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye saw last night was not a dream.
Later, Conan found another plastic rope on the ground that had been deliberately cut into a silk shape.
The clues are already obvious.
The so-called Akabi armor is to tie these ropes into a bunch and fix them on the helmet, and then use the shoji door to make the people inside see the wrong style of helmet, thereby creating the panic of Takeda Shingen's curse.
Mouri Kogoro looked at the footprints extending to the back door and guessed: "So, someone wearing armor sneaked in from the outside?"
"No, it's also possible that someone from the Torada family deliberately left such traces to make people think it was the work of an outsider."
Hattori Heiji thought for a while and then said: "I remember hearing Uncle Otaki say that Mr. Tatsuo's family also seems to have a pair of armor..."
"In this case, the Torada family and the Tatsuo family who store the armor at home are both suspected!" Mouri Kogoro said.
"The likelihood is low."
Ye Gengyi couldn't explain clearly that he had installed sensors at Longwei's house to confirm that no one went out last night, so he had to help a few people eliminate interference and said: "It rained so hard last night, even if the armor is made of plastic , overall it’s very bulky to wear or carry, so instead of coming to Torada’s house to scare Ran and Kazuha, wouldn’t it be more convenient to scare Conan directly?”
"..."
Conan's half-moon eyes were full of curses in his heart.
If you come to scare me, I will definitely be able to see through it, huh... that means I am worried about being beaten, otherwise I would have refuted you, brother Geng Yi!
"Well……"
Hattori Heiji didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "I don't have any clues now anyway, so let's take a look. Maybe we can find some clues..."
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Still going? Do you have to keep an eye on the whole family?
