Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"You are quite famous, little brother."

Genta and the others were dissatisfied with Sato's single nomination, so they jumped out and posed, "And there's us, the Boy Detective Team!"

"Well, they came here to look for him." Shiratori threw Conan to Winnet, "Miss Winnet, please keep an eye on them."

"Ah."

Winette agreed verbally, but her attention was not on Shiratori at all. Ai also raised her head and looked at Takagi beside her in the same confusion as her.

Somehow, Takagi started beating his head in a hysterical manner, as if he was upset about something - he imagined something he shouldn't have imagined. His strange behavior finally attracted other people. Officer Sato looked back at him and asked, "What's wrong with you, Takagi?"

Gao Mu quickly calmed down and replied, "Nothing..."

Just now, in the scene where Shiratori caught Conan and Sato came forward to question him, his mind involuntarily emerged with the married life of Shiratori and Sato. In his eyes, Conan became their child, constructing a scene of a happy family.

Don't be discouraged!

Winnett saw him being depressed, self-harming, and then rekindled, and felt very puzzled. Could it be that Shiratori and Sato had been in contact with each other privately, causing him to be so confused? Although she had doubts, she was not interested. She only paid attention to it because she saw that Ai was quite interested. Girls are sensitive to love - she thought - even if they are not very interested in love, when they see other people's love, they always want to intervene a little. Winnett did not understand it, it was no different from being enthusiastic about helping people with good senses.

Officer Takagi is a very kind-hearted person, and even children can be bossed around by him.

"Hey, officers, you must find it weird too!"

Straight man Conan obviously can't understand Takagi's undercurrent of emotions, and tries to bring everyone's attention back to the case.

Sato leaned over and said, "But little brother, although the victim was stabbed in the back, it doesn't mean that the murderer attacked her from behind." She thought about it and explained, "Maybe she saw the murderer trying to escape, so she was stabbed in the back by the murderer."

"But didn't we hear any sound from the victim other than screaming?"

Mitsuhiko refuted Sato's statement.

"That's right. If I saw someone trying to kill me, I would definitely shout 'Help' or something like that," Yuanta added.

Conan delivered a fatal blow, "Even if it is true as you said, the body should have fallen some distance away from the bicycle. Moreover, the phone fell next to her body. If she fell somewhere else, there should be sweat stains on the floor! Besides, there is no reason for the criminal to deliberately move her body next to the bicycle!"

"That's true."

Sato agreed with what the Boy Detectives said.

On this basis, the attacker's attack direction was determined to be behind the victim.

Shiratori looked at the victim's husband.

"Mr. Masuo, does your wife usually ride a bicycle?"

"Yes, she exercises at two o'clock every day. This is her daily homework."

This sentence also reveals other information, that is, Mr. Masuo himself knew about his wife's habit; if he knew, why did he ask her to come to the police station at 2 pm? Moreover, his wife's performance on the phone at that time clearly showed that she knew nothing about this matter.

"May I ask what time did you two get up?"

"Well, I have work to do at the bank, so I went out early in the morning. My wife has been drinking with friends lately until late at night, so I think I should sleep until noon today."

Bai Niao chuckled and said, "Then the answer couldn't be clearer."

"If my reasoning is correct, the murderer was probably hiding in ..."

As Shiratori spoke, he moved toward the back of the bicycle and lifted the dust curtain on the surface of the bookshelf. "Inside the shelf behind this curtain!"

however……

The bookshelf at the back is cut into multiple faces using baffles. In order to store more books, the space between each partition is very small.

"I was right. There don't seem to be any books in there. It's the perfect place to hide a person."

Pretending to be rich. Winette thought of this. Although there were no books in the three compartments above the bookshelf, the space was only big enough to fit Conan in, and it was not enough to hide an adult.

"Now that you mention it, there really aren't that many books. And this curtain is different from the ones next to it. The color is particularly dark."

Sato said half-agreeingly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Masuo continued to explain, "In fact, we put the bookshelf there to change the decoration; we originally planned to change the other curtains to the same color."

"But, can the place you mentioned really hide people?" Sato asked Shiratori.

Shiratori tried to move the bookshelf, and the partitions were movable. He explained, "If you remove the two partitions, you can easily hide a person." He continued to reason, "I think the murderer's actions were like this. The criminal investigated the behavior patterns of this family in advance, sneaked into this room after Mr. Masuo went out and before Mrs. Masuo got up, and then hid in this bookshelf, waiting for an opportunity to act. As long as Mrs. Masuo got on a bicycle, he could attack her from behind. However, the facts were so unexpected that at this time, I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the police suddenly called, and the criminal rushed out of the bookshelf in a hurry and killed the victim."

"When the criminals sneaked in, they used the window in the corridor."

At first glance, Shiratori's reasoning does make sense. But Winette still has doubts about the bookshelf. Even if the partitions are removable, the criminal cannot hide on the upper three floors. Otherwise, he will be discovered the moment he jumps - unless he is a person with excellent body coordination who can stab Mrs. Masuo in the air. However, according to Shiratori, it is obvious that the other party hid under the bookshelf by changing the position of the books. But in this case, why did the murderer restore the bookshelf after the murder? When he knew that Mrs. Masuo had talked to the police?

Winnet couldn't guess the specific method and didn't say anything.

In her opinion, Mr. Masuo was undoubtedly a major suspect. Even if the criminals conducted a preliminary investigation, the samples from the past one or two days could not make it clear that Mrs. Masuo would ride a bicycle at two o'clock every day.

Sato held his right arm with his left hand and put his right index finger under his nose. "Yes, Mr. Masuo also said that his wife saw a suspicious man wandering around last night. It's not surprising that the criminal knew the configuration of the room and the victim's schedule."

At this time, the police officer in charge of investigating the house came in.

"Deputy Team Leader Shiratori, we have already checked the victim's bedroom, but her finances and jewelry were all on the table, so the possibility that the murderer stole her finances should be very low."

"It's true." Shiratori showed an expression of expectation and ordered the police officer who came, "Well, you guys should start asking the neighbors around here now to see if there are any suspicious people wandering around in the past two or three days, or investigate the situation of this family."

"Yes, deputy leader!"

Hearing this title, Shiratori called them. "One more thing." He pointed a finger at himself, "From today on, I have been promoted to team leader. Do you understand?"

His subordinates were ashamed and called him team leader again.

"No wonder women don't like him." Xiao Ai commented sharply in a low voice.

……

414 "Lovelor Takagi"

"Um, Officer Shiratori..."

Seeing that Shiratori was walking in the wrong direction, Conan could not help but call him. Shiratori was repeatedly rejected by him and was already unhappy with Conan's presence. She advocated that Winette take the children away. However, before Conan opened his mouth, someone realized that something was wrong. Takagi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Don't you think something is wrong? It's obvious that the murderer killed the victim because she was on the phone with the police. In that case, is it necessary for him to go to so much trouble to restore the bookshelf? The murderer should know very well that if he moves too slowly, we police will come immediately after hearing the screams."

His analysis was reasonable, and Officer Sato nodded in agreement. She opened another of the two bookshelves, which was filled with books, which meant that the murderer could not have hidden in the other bookshelf. At this time, the police officer in charge of the search also ran over and reported that he had found a strange photo album in the victim's room. He opened the album and found that a considerable number of the photos stuck in the storage folder were marked. From a distance, he saw that the heads of some people in the photos were circled. A few seconds after the police officer opened the album, Mr. Masuo hurriedly trotted a few steps, closed it, and snatched the album away, looking like a guilty thief. He stammered and explained that it was a prank by his wife.

He was too conspicuous, and every incongruous move weighed on Winnet's years of experience. She felt that he was suspicious from the beginning, and combined with his words, Winnet roughly guessed the cause and effect.

Theft by an employer.

As the bank manager, Masuo knew the situation of the bank very well, so he and his friends staged a bank robbery. However, to his surprise, his wife came to the bank by chance and recognized the identity of the robber, so he planned to kill his wife.

However, he was in the police station at the time, and she herself was a witness to his alibi. In this case, trying to shift the suspicion to him was a troublesome matter in itself.

A pedal machine and a wardrobe.

Winnet had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of a very simple solution.

Taking advantage of the victim's habits, the treadmill was connected to the bookcase, allowing the victim to provide the power himself, causing the blade attached to the bookcase to pierce the victim's body.

This is a bit too much of a joke.

She thought this was a low-level approach because it would leave obvious evidence anyway.

Wire for connection.

A tool to hold the knife in place.

And most obviously, there were bloodstains on the wardrobe caused by the collision.

However, given her role, it would be too presumptuous for her to actively collect these things. Even if she proposed this method, it would be puzzling, after all, she plays a character with extremely poor eyesight.

The key is observation.

Winnet squatted down quietly and whispered to Ai, telling her her speculation in a rough outline.

Xiao Ai nodded slightly, looked out the window lazily, and replied: "It would be better to solve the case as soon as possible. The host who took our statement is still addicted to the love game of intrigue and deception. I hope he is not the one who is sad in the end."

"Cough cough."

This is definitely referring to Officer Takagi.

Xiao Ai sneaked up to the bicycle and after a quick check, she found a transparent thin wire wrapped around the axis on the inside of the stirrup. She glanced at the bookshelf right behind her, then jumped up by stepping on the partition and found strange bloodstains on the top of the bookshelf.

Ai's actions alarmed Sato Miwako, who hurriedly hugged her and put her down.

"This is very dangerous."

Xiao Ai thanked her coldly, then hid behind Winnett as if she was shy.

Winnet made an apologetic look to Sato, but Sato did not lecture her. In her opinion, there was no need to blame a lady with impaired vision.

The stagnation of the case made her look at Shiratori again and suggested, "Officer Shiratori, we should contact the Special Investigation Department later. There are too many unsolved parts of this case."

Shiratori spread his hands a little excitedly, "Then I will ask you two the opposite question. Tell me who the murderer is and what method he used to commit the crime. It is an indisputable fact that the murderer sneaked into the house and then killed the victim! Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer could only have been hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity to kill the victim."

Seeing that neither of them refuted his words, he eased the atmosphere and said, "No matter what, the murderous knife can't fly over and kill people by itself, right?"

"You're right!"

This abrupt answer caused the three police officers to turn around at the same time.

The person who spoke was Dr. Agasa.

Xiao Ai passed the parcel to Conan, explaining Winnet's inference and the evidence she found to the doctor. In fact, this is not the first time that Dr. Agasa has been a detective. As a well-known inventor, most people would not question his intelligence. Therefore, he was chosen by Conan as a substitute when Kogoro was not around.

This time, though, the people he represented had changed.

Dr. Agasa coughed twice, "In fact, there is another possibility. No one sneaked into the house from the beginning. The victim was the only one at the time of the crime. The murderer used some kind of mechanism to create the illusion of a burglary and murder."

"What are you talking about? This is clearly a robbery case, and the criminal is probably the robber who attacked Dongdu Bank a few days ago."

Shiratori had a look of regret for bringing in an unrelated person. Although Dr. Agasa was one of the outsiders who helped the police solve the case, he thought that it was an outsider who was lucky enough to make an unexpected discovery. To put it bluntly, even without outside help, the police would have solved the case sooner or later. One of the reasons he thought so was the other party's nonsense.

The knife flew over and killed the victim, which was really a joke.

Shiratori patiently explained it again, saying that the victim who was held hostage at the time saw the facial features of the robber and was silenced, and she had already learned from her husband that the robber was a foreigner.

He reiterated his opinion, "I think it is wise to inform the investigation headquarters of this robbery case as soon as possible."

Sato was very interested in what Dr. Agasa said. She had never supported such arbitrary approach, especially when several puzzles had not been solved.

She smiled and persuaded Shiratori: "Just listen to Mr. Agasa's reasoning, maybe he will bring us some surprises."

"Okay, Dr. Agasa." Shiratori no longer insisted, "What is the mechanism you are talking about?"

Being the focus of the whole audience, Dr. Agasa was a little nervous. He recalled what Ai said and murmured, "In fact, this mechanism is very simple. As long as you know the victim's habits, you can easily complete it. The key lies in the bicycle used by the victim for exercise and the bookcase you mentioned, Officer Shiratori."

"bicycle?"

"bookcase?"

Sato and Takagi played the role of qualified and supportive audience members one after another.

"That's right. All we need to do is connect the bookcase to the bicycle with props, and then use the victim's habits to let her provide power on her own."

Mr. Masuo, who was standing by the side, trembled violently.

Shiratori frowned. "That's a fantastic idea, but I ask you, how could the victim not notice it? It should be easy for him to notice it if he was carrying such a heavy object."

"No, it's not easy to detect." Officer Sato interrupted, "A fitness bike like this one is designed to slowly increase resistance during exercise."

"Even if that's the case. How can you prove it?"

The white bird asked.

Dr. Agasa brought up the clues that Ai had found. "Take a close look at the wheels of the bicycle."

Takagi quickly crawled under the bicycle.

"Really? There's thread wrapped around it. And there's a small circle at the end of the thread."

Zeng Wei couldn't help but ran over to explain, "These are just pranks. My wife often organizes some queues. This was her friend who got drunk and did it."

His explanation didn’t quite get through to the officers.

After getting a clue, quickly check the next clue, this is basic literacy. Shiratori looked back at the closet. In the short few steps leading to the closet, there was a small obstacle lying on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

The person lying on the ground was Conan, who seemed to be doing some kind of manual work, which made Shiratori want to throw him directly to Winette.

"I want to help you, police officer, solve the case."

Conan explained, his hands never stopping. Then he shouted, "It's done!"

What appeared in his hand was a dagger made of paper.

"Whether you want to play or do handicrafts, please do it after you get home."

"Dr. Agasa asked me to fold this. This way I can use it to replace the murder knife and mark the location of the murder weapon."
