Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 23
"Brother, how is the situation?"

Yuji saw Shinichi hiding next to the corpse, and walked over with Hattori Heiji.

"Oh, he is your brother."

Kudo Shinichi stood up and asked, "Yuji, who is he?"

After a cordial and friendly meeting (which was actually normal), the three people exchanged their opinions with each other.

"He killed."

"He killed it."

"He was right to kill."

It was concluded that only an idiot would think it was suicide.Don't bow your head, it's you, Hokkaido police.

When examining the results of the police report, the three of them went to listen to it.The hands of the deceased had gunpowder smoke reaction, and his surroundings were the same as four years ago. The large handbag was filled with frozen, hard snow.

Hattori Heiji took the coffee handed by Yuji and took a sip: "That is to say, he died from the gunshot just now. There are traces of bullets on the seat of the actor's cable car. If it was suicide, who would put his head on a chair and shoot in such a weird position."

"But the problem is that those female students and the fat director witnessed this person riding on the cable car alone. During the slide rail operation, the cable car was at least three meters away from the ground, so it was impossible for the prisoner to hit this person's temple. Yes." Shinichi walked up to the dead man's head, looking at the colorful wounds.

"Where are the people who came with him?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Mr. Sanbao, the substitute, and the lady were sitting together on the cable car before the gunshot, and Mr. Dashan, the director, was with me at that time. Now they and the detective are in the house to be questioned by the police."

Xinyi looked at the brooding brother and found that he was stroking the body of the deceased through his clothes while the police were not paying attention.

"Brother, is this person too thin? You can actually touch his bones through his clothes."

"Mr. Dashan said that this person seems to be less than 50 kilograms, but he is 170cm tall."

No wonder he is so thin. What does this person usually eat? Is being an actor such a hard profession?

Heiji suddenly picked up the deceased's ski pole and shouted to the two brothers: "Come and see, the head of this man's ski pole is reversed from that of ordinary people."

On the other hand, are they special ski poles for high difficulty?

Shinichi immediately pointed out something was wrong: "But the deceased even had to arrange a stand-in for the skiing scenes in the movie. Could he have used this kind of ski pole?"

Mr. Sanbao became the object of suspicion of the three.

The case is now divided into three parts, how the prisoner sat next to the deceased while the deceased was riding the cable car alone, how the prisoner killed the deceased and how the prisoner escaped.

The three teenagers had their own guesses, Yuji was thinking while walking, but accidentally bumped into someone.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry. Huh! Mom?"

Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him was his mother. After not seeing him for half a year, Yuji's eyes turned red, and he suddenly hugged his mother tightly.

"Ah, Xiaoyou still likes to act like a baby as before!"

Hattori Heiji shouted but neither saw Yuji, so he raised his head and poked Kudo Shinichi in surprise: "Hey, Kudo-san, your brother seems to be harassing a woman!"

Shinichi looked at the boy opposite him and was about to tell him that his younger brother would not do such a thing, but he was frightened to the ground by the woman behind Hattori Heiji.

"You old aunt, don't do such embarrassing things when you are 35 years old, suddenly hug me from behind or something, I am 15 years old!" Heiji squinted half-moon eyes, looking angrily at Hattori Jing magnificent.

After the two mothers and their children exchanged ordinary social greetings, the three teenagers successfully got a story about a snow girl that they had never heard before.

The front is similar to what the three of them heard before, but the second half becomes: the man who entered the mountain took the initiative to send Xuenv home, and the immobile Xuenv sat in his back basket, but was melted by the man's kindness and enthusiasm up.

"But there is still one thing that doesn't make sense. How did this prisoner manage to kill and even have an alibi. Could it be that he arranged some mechanism to kill?" You Xizi asked, looking at her two sons.

"No, he killed the actor himself, right, brother."

Xin nodded: "Yes, we were all misled by that man. That..."

"...the real murderer!" x3
The teenage detectives got everyone together and then took the spotlight.

"Isn't this case a suicide? Why did you call everyone here?" Mr. Sanbao looked at the boys opposite with a very unhappy expression.

"No, this matter is indeed homicide." Shinichi looked at the crowd and said something that surprised everyone.

Hattori took the lead in reasoning: "First of all, it is the deceased. It seems that he was riding the cable car alone, but there should be two people in the seat at that time."

"Two people! How is that possible? What are you talking about in your sleep?" the fiancée retorted.

"No, it's really two people." Yuji bought the largest bag from the store and placed it in front of everyone: "This bag is so big that even an adult can curl up in it. Not to mention the skinny actor. "

"In other words, the deceased was in this kind of bag, and the murderer disguised himself as him and got on the cable car openly in front of everyone." Shinichi opened the bag and showed the inside to The policeman said: "Because the outside of the bag has been specially made, even irregular objects like people cannot be seen from the outside."

"The only one who can do this is Mr. Sanbao who is a stand-in. You are right." Hattori pointed at the stand-in and revealed the real identity of the murderer.

"But Sanbao was with me until the gunshot. How could he be the murderer?" The fiancée still couldn't believe it.

"Because that's not a gunshot, it's just our preconceived idea." Yuji took out a box of cannons from the counter of the store: "Because Jiro Mizukami died four years ago, we always thought it was a gunshot. This is just a taboo of reasoning, preconceived.

In fact, that was not a gunshot, but a cannon unique to the ski resort here, but it was not sold six years ago.I asked Mr. Amuro to find this box from the storage room of the villa I rented.The prisoner used it to create an alibi for himself. "

The panic was evident on Mr. Sanbao's face, and he denied loudly: "Since you said that I killed Minowa, then what's the matter with the bag full of snow! And the bag on the cable car is obviously not as big as this ,Say it!"

The corners of the mouths of the three hooked up, Yuji took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, aiming at Sanbao with a reflective angle.

Hattori: "Mr. Miho, you met the lady on the mountainside about 10 minutes after the deceased boarded the cable car, and the two of you set off from the mountain together about 10 minutes later."

Shinichi: "When that loud noise happened, your cable car should still have half an hour to reach the mountain."

Yuji: "The police have already put all the things related to the deceased behind the house, and you have been being interrogated by the police here since you got off the cable car."

The three teenagers said in unison: "Why do you, who have never seen the bag next to the deceased when he died, know that the size is different from the bag on the ground? Mr. Sanbao."
