The Advent of the Infinite King

He pointed to the door and said, "Although Sensei Uemori came back from the outside after a while, it was Mr. Nishitani who closed the glass door from the inside at that time."

Officer Mumu nodded, he believed Xie Chen very much, looked at Hiroaki Nishitani and said, "So, if we want to distinguish the fingerprints of the gangsters, we must first take your fingerprints."

After that, he said to Kogoro Mouri again: "Tell me the details at this time."

Later, they came to the back door, and Mori Kogoro explained the situation to him.

"So, the back door was unlocked at that time?"

"That's right, Officer Megure." Mori Kogoro said, "According to my speculation, I think the murderer sneaked into the computer room from the back door after everyone started class."

Officer Megure opened the door of the power distribution room, and Mori Kogoro continued: "Then set up this device made of ice, and then she went to the front yard through the back door, and then hid in the bushes in front."

When they returned to the classroom, Mori Kogoro said as he walked, "Wait for the moment when the power supply is cut off. When the time comes, he will open the glass door and run into the classroom. After stabbing Mrs. Uemori, he escapes immediately."

Xie Chen said: "But at that time, the classroom was completely dark. What method did the gangster use to find out where Mr. Uemori is?"

"Well..." Mori Kogoro thought for a while and said, "It must be something that Mrs. Uemori is wearing or sticking on her body that will light up, or something that can be used as a mark."

"No." Hiroaki Nishitani stood up and said, "It is absolutely impossible for the teacher to carry such a thing on his body."

Mao Lilan also said: "I didn't notice either."

Mori Kogoro had no choice but to say: "Then the murderer must be wearing an infrared scanner. With that thing, he can see it even in the dark."

Xie Chen sighed, it was really whimsical, such things as infrared scanners are not so easy for ordinary people to get.

Having said that, although the murderer is likely to be an outsider, there are no footprints on the floor of this room at all, and the murderer would not have slipped his shoes in front of the glass door before entering.

During their conversation, the forensic personnel had finished investigating the fingerprints on the glass door.Takagi came over to report to Police Officer Megure.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"We have checked the handles on both the inside and outside of the glass door, but only Mr. Nishitani's fingerprints were found."

Police Officer Mu Mu nodded, "The gangster was probably wearing gloves when he committed the crime. Xie Chen also said just now that the last person who came across this door was Mr. Nishitani, so it's not surprising."

"Yes." Gao Mushe said: "But the strange thing is that the fingerprints on the outer handle of the glass door are completely collected, but the fingerprints on the inner handle seem to have disappeared a little."

"what?"

Police officer Mumu was surprised and said: "This is too strange. If the gangster said that he opened the glass door from the outside with gloves on, then Mr. Nishitani's fingerprints on the handle outside should be incomplete."

Mori Kogoro said: "But only the fingerprints on the inner handle are complete."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. If he said that, the murderer opened the glass door from the inside.

Gao Mushe didn't understand this truth, so he could only ask, "What's going on?"

Mori Kogoro thought for a while and said: "It can be seen that the murderer didn't come in from the outside, but someone in the classroom opened the door from the inside because he wanted us to have this wrong association."

He looked at the people who had come to study, and they were also looking at him, "I was thinking, maybe he used a handkerchief to avoid leaving fingerprints."

Officer Mu Mu looked at them and said slowly: "So, this murderer is one of the six of you."

"What?" Uemori Kaoru exclaimed.

Before the rest of the people could speak, the cell phone in Police Officer Mu Mu's arms rang.

Officer Megure picked up the phone, and after a short conversation, he put down the phone, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Just a few minutes ago, Mrs. Uemori died of breathing difficulties caused by pulmonary hemorrhage."

Hearing such news, everyone couldn't believe it. Their faces were pale, and no one could speak for a while.

Police Officer Mumu lifted his hat, looked at them and continued, "In this way, this case will become a murder case."

The sudden news of the death made the scene depressing. After a while, Officer Mumu asked them to sit down at the table.

"The person who will set up the ice mechanism in the computer room, the four sitting here cannot escape suspicion. The refrigerator is within easy reach, even if you want to bring ice from your own home."

They sat at the table, no one said a word, each thinking, but no one expressed too much sadness.

Mori Kogoro said: "In this case, the key point is the murder weapon."

"Yes." Officer Meguro nodded.

"Miss Yuko." Mori Kogoro asked, "Is there anything like an ice ax in this classroom?"

Yuko Komiyayama said, "Yes, it's next to the microwave oven, which is in the drawer on the right."

Mori Kogoro opened the drawer with a handkerchief. In addition to the ice pick, there were some small iron rods in the drawer.

"Officer Megure." He took out the iron rods, "The ends of these iron rods are also pointed, Miss Yuko, have you ever counted the number of these iron rods?"

"A little bit." Komiyayama Yuko said softly, "There should be ten."

Police officer Mumu counted, "But why are there only nine here?"

Komiyayama Yuko exclaimed: "I only counted the impossible things last night, and there were still ten at that time."

"Officer Megure!" Mori Kogoro said decisively: "This is the murder weapon! The murderer stole a stick from this drawer in advance and used it to assassinate Mrs. Uemori."

Officer Mumu said: "But this stick doesn't even have a place to hold it. Can it be used to kill people? If it were me, I would rather choose something with a handle."

Xie Chen nodded, he agreed with Police Officer Megure, and the wound on Yoshitomo Uemori's back should be much thinner than the iron rod.

Mori Kogoro suggested: "Officer Megure, let's investigate and see what the four of them brought."

"That's right." Officer Meguro said: "Then now, please put all the things you brought on the table."
