The atmosphere in the bathroom was a little quiet.
Sakaki Makoto and Kid looked at Conan in shock. They wanted to complain but for a moment they didn't know where to start.
height...
Is it related to Conan?
Do you want to develop again?
But Conan doesn’t think so. He feels that he is right. Isn’t 7 years old the right time for growth?
"You don't believe it?"
Conan snorted:
"I secretly asked Miss Huiyuan before, and she told me that if I don't take the antidote, my body might start to develop again. In other words, I'll have to start from scratch and re-start everything!"
"What?"
Kidd was shocked:
"So if I was 160cm tall before taking APTX4869, and I became shorter after taking APTX4869, is it possible that I could grow to 180cm?"
"right!"
Conan nodded decisively:
"Because APTX4869 acts on all parts of the body except the brain, and height is determined by innate genes as well as acquired lifestyle and eating habits. If there is no antidote, once the body gradually develops resistance to APTX4869, it will start to grow again!"
"Will all the parts grow back?"
"certainly."
"It sounds very tempting..."
Kidd touched his chin, looking interested.
Everyone wants to be perfect, or unique and different.
Kidd is no exception.
What a pity...
The side effects of APTX4869 were too severe for him to accept.
If there are no side effects, I'd consider it.
Bang!
Bang!
Sakaki Makoto raised his hands, opened them left and right, and slapped Conan and Kid on the head, who were lost in thought:
"Don't overthink it. Height doesn't determine the size."
"Is it wrong to want to grow up?!"
“That’s right, but you should trust modern medicine more instead of pinning your hopes on APTX4869, which has not undergone clinical trials.”
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"What are you asking?"
“........”
The three of them stared at each other for a long time, and suddenly realized that they seemed to be on different channels.
There's always someone thinking the wrong thing, but that person is definitely not me, Sakaki Makoto and the other two thought to themselves at the same time.
After leaving the bathroom, Makoto Sakaki and the other two walked up the stairs to the third floor and to Yoko Okino's room.
As the crime scene, several policemen were left here to guard it. At this moment, the police were setting up a ladder and preparing to climb onto the roof to investigate how the criminal hung the body there.
Since no clues were found in the bathroom, Sakaki Makoto and the other two had to change their approach to solving the case.
This case is different from most previous cases. In many previous cases, the place where the body was found was often the place where the crime was committed. As long as the method used by the criminal was cracked, decisive evidence could be found.
but...
Today's case is different. Sakaki Makoto and his team found the place where the criminal killed Naoki Seiichi, but they found no evidence. According to normal reasoning, they would be stuck in a deadlock. To break the deadlock...
We can only go to the second 'crime scene', the roof.
After reaching the roof during the forensic class, Sakaki Makoto and the other two also climbed up.
The roof is covered with red bricks and tiles, with traces of rain stains left, and the air is very fresh.
At the edge of the roof, Makoto Sakaki found a rope with one end tied around the waist of the corpse. After the police lifted the body down, they did not move the rope, which made it easier for the subsequent investigation.
The other end of the rope was tied to the protruding relief on the roof ridge and made a knot. It had no problem bearing the weight of an adult. There were some obvious scratches on the part of the rope near the eaves.
Looking back and forth on the roof...
Sakaki Makoto didn't find any trace of blood.
"strangeness..."
Conan muttered:
"The body was stabbed through the heart with a dagger, so normally there should be a lot of bleeding. Even if the dagger was not pulled out, blood would have dripped while the body was being carried. How could the criminal carry a body up to the roof without blood dripping?"
"Is it possible that..."
Kidd said:
"After killing Naoki Seiichi, the criminal wrapped the body with something, such as a bed sheet or a sack, so that no blood would drip when it was carried!"
"But the question is how did the criminal manage to hang the body up so quietly?"
Conan walked back and forth while slapping his forehead. Although the view from the rooftop was unique, he was in no mood to appreciate it.
According to their plan last night, the two main roads leading to the third floor, the central courtyard and even the outer wall of the house were guarded. The only drawback was the corridor on the other side of the second floor, which was empty.
Taking a piece of chalk from the forensics department, Makoto Sakaki quickly drew a few strokes on the red tiles, drawing a three-dimensional map of the hotel, marking the locations of the four of them last night, making the loopholes clear at a glance.
"From the beginning, our plan was to capture the criminal while protecting Yoko Okino. Due to lack of manpower, we relaxed the surveillance on the first floor..."
The chalk tapped lightly on the red tiles, and Sakaki Makoto spoke word by word:
"The criminal killed Naoki Seiichi in the bathroom at 3 a.m., wrapped the body in a sheet or sack, and carried it to the roof. This is the conclusion we can draw so far."
Conan and Kidd nodded, their expressions solemn.
That's where the problem lies.
It seemed as if the criminals had installed surveillance cameras on them, bypassing their sight and hanging the body under the eaves.
