Led by the old principal, Sakaki Makoto and others hurried to the locker room reserved for faculty and staff.
The locker room is simply furnished, with a backless bench in the middle and green metal cabinets on both sides, standing quietly like refrigerators.
Through the window, you can see the playground below, eliminating the risk of being peeped at.
Of course, generally no one would peek into the faculty locker room, especially male faculty members.
There is a nameplate on the locker, so you can tell whose locker it belongs to at a glance.
The locker belonging to Ota Kunimatsu is in the corner by the window.
but...
At this moment, the locker was locked.
This made Sakaki Makoto a little troubled.
This kind of storage box made of iron sheet is durable. Although it only has a thin layer of iron sheet, it is very elastic!
If you use violent means to break it open, it is inevitable that the objects will be damaged.
unless...
There is a pair of scissors.
A pair of large gardener's shears was handed to him.
Sakaki Cheng took it blankly and turned his head to look...
Conan and Hattori Heiji were seen standing beside him with smiles on their faces.
“You guys are…”
"Evidence!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji smiled at each other:
"We found it in the bushes!"
"Have you done fingerprinting?"
"Well, when it was found, there were no fingerprints on it. It was wiped off by the prisoner."
This result did not surprise Makoto Sakaki.
It is obvious that the murderer in this case had planned the crime in detail.
How to destroy evidence, cut off the wires, how long it takes to burn down the gymnasium...
Be meticulous in planning and take every step carefully.
Even Sakaki Makoto couldn't help but admire the other party.
because...
So far, he knows who the criminal is, but has not found conclusive evidence.
"but..."
Conan kept the secret a secret and took out a photo from his pocket:
"Didn't it rain yesterday?"
"The bushes were very muddy and we found a trail of footprints leading to where the scissors were hidden."
“This is a photo of the scene.”
His eyes lit up, Sakaki Makoto was a little surprised.
Um...
Brother Kudo is indeed useful.
He is good at finding clues!
Hattori brother also contributed a lot...
Kudo of Kanto and Hattori of Kansai are not famous for nothing.
Photographs are decisive evidence.
Just compare the footprints...
It is clear who the murderer is.
"Very good!"
Seeing the photo, Megure Jusan said excitedly:
"Now we can solve the case, Takagi!"
"Takagi isn't here."
After replying calmly, Sakaki Makoto picked up a pair of scissors, aimed them at the iron lock on the locker, and cut it hard!
Bang!
The broken iron lock hit the ground, leaving several tiny cracks on the tiles.
Hello, hello, hello...
Conan was stunned.
Why did you start this without even saying hello?...
By the way, why did Mr. Makoto Sakaki cut other people's lockers?
Conan, who was not at the scene, naturally could not understand why Makoto Sakaki did this.
The lock fell off and the locker opened.
It was packed with things like a suit to change into after get off work, a few medical books, a pair of leather shoes, a family photo, soap, a cardboard box...
At first glance, there is nothing special, but...
Sakaki Makoto opened the box and took out a camera.
Sure enough, there are tools for committing the crime!
Pressing the power button, Makoto Sakaki wanted to see what Ota Kunimatsu had filmed...
【No memory card】
A line of small words appeared on the screen.
"No record?"
Megure Jusan was surprised:
"Could it be that Ota Kunimatsu is trying to scare people?"
"No..."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head:
"A fellow like him who has a beastly heart in human form will definitely record the video to threaten us."
"The memory card must be hidden somewhere!"
There was nothing in the cardboard box except the camera, and you could see to the bottom at a glance.
Suit pockets, leather shoes, books...
After searching over and over in vain, Makoto Sakaki fixed his eyes on the parent-child photo.
It was a wooden picture frame with a glass surface, and it was quite heavy to hold.
In the photo, Ota Kunimatsu, his wife and children are smiling happily, with a huge Kaminarimon lantern behind them. It should have been taken at Sensō-ji Temple.
Ryuji Koizumi and Risa Goto looked normal and didn't notice anything different.
However...
After careful observation, Sakaki Makoto suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a bulge in one corner of the photo...
These old-fashioned frames don't fit perfectly and usually leave some gaps.
Without saying a word, Sakaki Makoto immediately unlocked the bottom and opened the photo frame.
As everyone watched, he pulled out the photo, revealing a small CF memory card.
It is worth mentioning that the SF memory card first appeared in 1994 and was launched by Sandisk, which revolutionized the use of flash memory technology.
After inserting the CF card into the camera, Makoto Sakaki read the photos stored inside.
The latest few photos are just landscape photos, taking pictures of the school playground.
drip...drip...drip...
When I flipped through a few photos, the images in the camera began to change, the quality became increasingly rough, and some even turned black and white.
It is not difficult to guess that Kunimatsu Ota transferred all the photos he had previously taken with film to CF cards.
As he watched, anger emerged in Sakaki Makoto's eyes, his joints turned slightly white due to the great force, and his body felt extremely uncomfortable.
