"Will the fishing line cut down the middle like a knife?"
After hearing Sakaki Makoto's reasoning, Megure Jusan asked with some doubt:
"The rubber dummy must weigh more than 20 kilograms. Can the fishing line really bear such a weight?"
"besides..."
"Assuming the criminal had tied the fishing line around the flower pot, the deceased should have discovered it when he lifted the flower pot!"
In response to Megure Jusan's doubts, Conan, holding a flower pot, gave an answer:
"Inspector Megure, it's totally possible."
“When people come to the rooftop, they will see the side of the flowerpot facing the gate.”
"And the prisoner only needs to wrap the fishing line around the left railing and fix it to the bottom of the flower pot. In this way, as long as the deceased lifts the flower pot, the fishing line will inevitably be pulled..."
"That's right."
Sakaki Makoto nodded, walked to the ladder, caught Miss Miyano, and said with a smile:
"As for the question of the weight of the fishing line...it's too simple."
"Inspector Megure doesn't fish often."
Hearing this, Megure Jusan was stunned for a moment and said:
"It's true that I don't have much time to fish."
"No wonder..."
Shaking his head, Sakaki Makoto explained:
"For fishing enthusiasts, the most important thing before fishing is what kind of fishing line to use, otherwise..."
"If you hook a big fish, but the line can't bear the weight and breaks, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
"Therefore, fishing lines are extremely tough. Take the most common nylon line as an example. A fishing line with a diameter of 0.44mm can withstand a tensile force of 12 kilograms."
"The fishing line used by the prisoners is a ceramic line, a type of high-strength fishing line, a new type of fishing line developed by Japan's Sunray Co., Ltd., also known as the Sun Line. It uses high-molecular polymer materials and is filled with resin, which not only improves the tensile strength of the line, but also increases its wear resistance."
"A small stick like this can't bear the cutting of it."
Sakaki Makoto showed the two pieces of wooden sticks in his hand, on which the marks of being cut by fishing lines were very clear.
If the stick is compared to a fishing rod...
In the fishing world, this phenomenon is called a blown rod.
Takagi Wataru and others came over and carefully examined the wooden stick, confirming that the marks on it matched those on the fishing line.
but....
There are still questions that puzzle them.
“Why did the dead man lift the flower pot?”
The program recording has not yet been completed, but Saito Aida left the hall without permission and went all the way to the rooftop, holding up a flower pot...
It's not normal no matter how you think about it.
"Inspector Megure, why do you think a man came to the rooftop and lifted up the flower pot?"
Sakaki Makoto glanced at Yamaguchi Yoshio with a half-smile, and said meaningfully:
"If the flower pot accidentally falls and hits someone, it will be bad."
His eyes suddenly widened and Megure Jusan looked at Yamaguchi Yoshio in surprise. When he first arrived at the TV station, he knew that Nichimi TV had a program to be recorded today.
The script requires Yoshio Yamaguchi to disguise the body, so here comes the problem...
If a flowerpot falls from the roof, will it hit him?
The answer almost came out of his mouth.
Saito Aida's purpose of climbing the rooftop was not to water the flowers and plants, but to...
kill!
His target is Yoshio Yamaguchi!
"Mr. Yamaguchi, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
Surrounded by people, Yoshio Yamaguchi pursed his lips and remained silent.
He doesn't want to say.
"I know, I know!"
The deputy director, eager to prove his innocence, stood up:
"Yamaguchi Yoshio's ex-wife is Saito Aida's current wife!"
"?"
"Yamaguchi Yoshio and his ex-wife had a child, but the child was diagnosed with leukemia not long ago and needed a bone marrow transplant. However, during the preoperative DNA test, it was discovered that the child's father was not Yamaguchi Yoshio!"
"???"
"After questioning his wife, Yamaguchi Yoshio learned that his wife had had an affair with Saito Aida before they got married, and that they got married because of pregnancy, which means...Yamaguchi Yoshio raised Saito Aida's child for eight years."
"???"
Big brother.
What kind of ethical drama is this!
Sakaki Makoto was once curious about Yoshio Yamaguchi's mental state after he learned about this.
No one can stand it!
No wonder he had to do this...
Rena Mizunashi and the staff of the program team looked at Yoshio Yamaguchi in surprise. They only knew that Yoshio Yamaguchi and Saito Aida had a bad relationship, but they didn't expect that there was such a deep reason hidden in it.
As the deputy director spoke the truth, Yamaguchi Yoshio's face became somewhat grim, his gradually red eyes and throbbing temples showed that he was extremely uneasy inside.
but...
Even if he has an 'unknown' connection with Saito Aida and sufficient motives, this cannot be used as a basis to judge that he is the criminal.
"If that's the case..."
Megure Jusan shifted the topic back to the case:
"The prisoner prepared a dummy in advance, but there was only one dummy on the ground!"
"Where did the dummy that Yamaguchi Yoshio and Doi Akira threw go?"
"It's hidden in the corner of the Nichimi TV station."
Sakaki Makoto kept it a secret and said calmly:
"Everyone is an accomplice, an unconscious accomplice."
"In the corner..."
After thinking about it carefully, Megure Jusan realized that Yamaguchi Yoshio had no time to hide the dummy.
After all, the camera captured everything, and Yoshio Yamaguchi stayed in the prop room from beginning to end and never left.
