"suicide?!"
Except for Conan and Mouri Kogoro, everyone looked at Sakaki Makoto in shock, with confusion in their eyes.
At this time, the air conditioner had been adjusted to normal temperature, and the hot air became much cooler, but everyone's heart was lifted.
Because no matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a suicide case.
"Brother Sakaki Makoto..."
Megure Jusan stood next to Sakaki Makoto, pointed at the corpse and said:
"The deceased died because he was stabbed from behind with a sharp weapon."
"How could a normal person who wanted to commit suicide stab himself in the back?"
Everyone thought that Makoto Sakaki's talk was nonsense.
That's ridiculous.
The body was lying on the floor with a sharp knife deeply inserted vertically into the back. It was obviously a homicide.
"No."
Sakaki Makoto pushed up his sunglasses and pointed out the first doubt:
"Inspector Megure, look, the murder weapon has been completely inserted into the victim's body."
"As someone with more than a decade of rich criminal experience, you should be able to clearly understand how much force is required to completely insert a knife into a human body."
Sakaki Makoto's words left Megure Juzo silent.
really.
This is a kitchen knife with a pointed head and a wide tail.
There are 206 bones in the adult body.
Among them, the ribs are used to protect the internal organs, with 12 ribs on each side, and they are flat bones.
There is no need to explain much about the role of ribs. The intercostal space of an average person is about 2-4cm, which may fluctuate depending on body shape.
But the deceased was a short, fat man, and the intercostal space could never have exceeded 4cm.
However, after the tip of the knife was halfway through, the width had exceeded 5cm.
In other words, the amount of force required to make the sharp knife completely penetrate the body in a vertical position was beyond Megure Juzo's inference of the crime scene.
The deceased was lying in the middle of the room, with no obstructions around him and no signs of being tied up or struggling on his body.
According to the police's inference, the criminal attacked the deceased from behind while he was sitting on a chair.
But if a normal person is stabbed in the back, his body will subconsciously lean forward to relieve the force.
This is a self-protection reaction of the muscles, which is far faster than the person's thinking speed.
However, in this situation, how much strength is needed to insert a sharp knife completely into the body of the deceased?
The instantaneous explosive force used here is probably almost the same as a full-strength slap from a brown bear.
Human strength cannot be compared with that of a brown bear, especially these girls in front of him who look so weak.
"But...."
Megure Jusan hesitated and stretched his hands behind his back.
"If it's suicide, it's even more impossible to achieve!"
“It’s really impossible to do this without the help of tools.”
Sakaki Makoto tapped the groove on the floor with his toes and said:
"And the tool that the dead use is the floor beneath our feet!"
"The criminal first fixed the sharp knife to the floor, then stood on a chair and jumped backwards to complete his suicide."
It's hard to make these people understand the situation just by words.
Sakaki Makoto called Takagi Wataru, asked him to stand up, and said:
"Jump."
"ah?!"
Takagi Wataru was dumbfounded:
"Jump...."
“It’s really jumping…”
A cushion was placed on the floor, and when Takagi Shigeru looked, it was the smiling Conan.
have to.
It seems that it has been decided.
Takagi Wataru took a deep breath, turned his back to the floor, and jumped!
Bang!
His body drew a graceful arc in the air and then fell heavily on the cushion.
"In this way, the weight of the prisoner and the hardness of the floor are enough to allow the knife to penetrate the body."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head and sighed:
"The prisoner had shoes on his feet."
"In fact, if you use a footprint searchlight to check the chair, you will find footprints on it."
"This case could have been solved long ago."
Megure Jusan blushed and glared at the Appraisal Section in dissatisfaction:
"How could you miss such an important clue?!"
"What on earth are you eating?"
The people in the Identification Class lowered their heads and muttered:
"Inspector Megure...If the deceased really committed suicide, then how did he secure the murder weapon?"
"There is nothing in this room that can hold a sharp knife!"
Everyone looked at Sakaki Makoto.
Sakaki Makoto pursed his lips and didn't say anything vulgar. Instead, he pointed to the water stain on the ground:
“Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”
"The deceased was immobilized with ice."
"I see!!!"
Megure Jusan glared and looked towards the air conditioner:
“That’s why the air conditioner temperature is set so high!”
"It's to melt the ice!"
Sakaki Makoto nodded, thinking that you finally understood.
Although the deceased wanted to fake the murder scene, the clues he left behind were details that could not stand up to scrutiny.
"But."
Takagi Wataru, who was helped up by Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko, became confused:
"If it is true as Mr. Sakaki Makoto said, the deceased committed suicide."
"He should be lying on his back on the floor!"
"This is because he wanted to fake the scene as a homicide and frame Ms. Okino."
As everyone's eyes gradually widened, Sakaki Makoto said to Okino Yoko:
"Ms. Okino, you said you didn't know the deceased. I doubt that."
"But the police have sent people to investigate the identity of the deceased."
"It's up to you to decide how to choose."
