This black-skinned man's intention to force himself to compete with Kudo Shinichi in reasoning is too obvious...
but.
Judging from Otaki Goro's narration, there is a feeling that Osaka Prefecture and the Metropolitan Police Department do not trust each other.
Since the case is being investigated and it's a joint investigation, can't we just borrow the files?
Is it possible that there is no reasonable explanation for the deceased's suicide?
It is also very interesting to specifically ask Hattori Heiji to take action and call on Mouri Kogoro and himself, two of the Metropolitan Police Department's "right-hand men"...
Hmm... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this black-skinned guy was bored and forced Otaki Goro to come to Tokyo to investigate the case.
Ye Geng thought for a while, nodded slightly and said:
"Oh, let's go together then."
…
The group of people took a car to Cupido Town.
The scene where the murder occurred was the third floor of a seven-story apartment.
Ye Gengyi noticed that there was a secondary window installed on the elevator door here.
Random thoughts.
The plots of several horror games suddenly came to mind.
On the side, Mouri Kogoro suddenly said: "Officer Otaki, it has been so long. Is the crime scene still the same?"
"Well..." Otaki Goro nodded and explained: "But the victim's daughter will come over tomorrow to take away the relics."
"Do not worry!"
Hattori Heiji was very confident: "With me and Saraichi-nii here, we will definitely be able to unlock the secret room within today!"
Haha... Conan stared up with his half-moon eyes.
Forget about Brother Geng Yi, do you think I don’t exist, you black-skinned guy?
Hattori Heiji didn't notice the look in the eyes of a certain detective boy, and was distracted by Toyama Kazuba who was excitedly discussing the elevator's auxiliary window:
"Hey! What's so interesting about a secondary window? I didn't bring you here just for fun!"
"Of course I know. After all, I have an important task that only I can accomplish."
Toyama and Ye retorted, and continued to murmur in a low voice: "And it is indeed rare to find an elevator with a window on the door in the building. Isn't Brother Geng Yi watching it too?"
"Well……"
Hattori Heiji was startled, and immediately said: "Sangichi-san must be thinking about something related to the case! How can he be like you?"
"..."
Ye Gengyi gathered his thoughts, not wanting to become a 'tool' for the two people to quarrel and said: "I was thinking about the game."
"game?"
Everyone looked at him.
"Yeah, a horror game."
Ye Gengyi said calmly:
"It can be assumed that when you are going up alone in an elevator, the elevator suddenly slows down."
"You can only see the cement brick wall outside slowly moving through the window."
"You tried pressing other buttons, but the elevator didn't respond at all. The strong uneasiness made you panic..."
"Until the elevator climbed to the next floor, a gloomy night scene was revealed through the secondary window."
"You tried shouting but there was no response."
"At this time, the cold air drifting from nowhere makes your body feel a biting chill, as if a razor blade is scratching your body. Just when you think your nightmare is about to become a reality, you suddenly find an indescribable... Creatures squirming in the corridor separated from you by only a glass..."
"Ding dong!"
"Ahhh!"
The elevator reaches the 3rd floor.
The tremor caused by the pause made the two girls hug each other and scream.
Ye Geng preparedly turned on the noise reduction function of the hidden earphones early in the morning and said the last sentence in a calm tone:
"...Just when you closed your eyes, the monster was already behind you."
"Ahhh!"
Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye Wenyan ran out without looking back.
"Hmm...it seems to be working well."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and turned to look at the people in the elevator: "Do you have any suggestions for the monster model?"
It's enough to outline the 'devil' in your heart... A group of people complained silently.
…
Arrive at the murder scene.
As Otaki Goro said before, the rope used for hanging was still hanging straight at the air outlet of the central air conditioner in the living room.
Looking around, you can see that this is a relatively neat living room.
In front of the white wall facing the door is a TV cabinet with a 40-inch TV.
A light yellow carpet is spread between the coffee table and the TV.
In the corner of the living room, a long cylindrical trash can was dumped next to a set of four-story bookcases made of light wood.
The bookcases are filled with different books and ornaments, from works of art to souvenirs. It can be seen that the deceased loved reading mystery works.
Moving his gaze to another corner, Hattori Heiji was squatting there, studying the sweeping robot.
Um……
The room showed no signs of invasion or struggle.
The secret room...?
There is no such feeling at all.
After all, the level of criminal police in Ke Xue's world is obvious to all. Since the process of hanging or being hanged was not monitored, in theory, if the perpetrator was another resident of the apartment, similar effects could be achieved as long as the technique was clean and neat enough.
Even more so, if the perpetrator is an expert at using hang gliders, he can leave quietly at night after killing someone.
Ye Gengyi just thought of this.
Then I heard Hattori Heiji let out a lengthy sigh:
"Oh, what...it's really suicide..."
"Huh? Aping, what did you find?" Otaki Goro walked over quickly.
"This is it."
Hattori Heiji pressed the switch of the sweeping robot, picked up the trash can next to the bookshelf, and placed it upside down under the sling:
"Now, you see, in this case... the 10 centimeter gap will not exist."
"But... when we came in here, we didn't see the trash cans here." Otaki Goro raised doubts.
"Just keep reading and you'll find out."
Hattori Heiji pushed down the trash can and explained: "As long as it falls between the legs of this chair like this when hanging, the sweeping robot performing the cleaning task will follow the route and push the trash can to the corner of the room. Finally reset back to the charging base..."
"That's right."
Conan was afraid that he would not be visible, so he added from the side: "Under normal circumstances, the area cleaned by the sweeping robot cannot only be this small, so the deceased should have placed obstacles in the house in advance so that the robot could remember this area." A route…”
"Alas... no matter how you look at it, this is suicide..."
Hattori Heiji's eyes lost their light.
What about competing with Genichi and Kudo on their reasoning speed? I didn't expect it to be such a simple case.
So arbitrary?
Ye Geng glanced at Hattori Heiji, then looked at Conan who already agreed with the answer. He thought for a moment and did not put forward a different opinion.
...It doesn't matter, the case is not important.
Anyway, I don't intend to take the lead, but I have gained a further understanding of the way of thinking of these two detective boys. If I look back and sort it out, I may have opportunities to use it in the future.
