When it comes to committing crimes undercover, Kidd is their ancestor, and in some cases, he has the most say.
“We have all fallen into a misunderstanding.”
After getting a clue, Kidd said excitedly:
"The criminals did not transport the bodies through the proper channels at all. Instead, they took advantage of people's misconceptions and accomplished a scheme to deceive people!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Seeing that Kidd's pre-attack swing was too long, Conan couldn't hold back his impatience and urged:
"What methods did the criminal use?"
"Ahem, first of all..."
Looking around, Kidd lowered his voice mysteriously, as if he was conducting an underground activity, and whispered:
"Before the criminal met Naoki Kiyoshi, he had already prepared to kill him. He conducted a series of investigations and finally finalized a meticulous plan."
"That's why the prisoners were able to prepare disodium EDTA in advance!"
"The criminal is not stupid. He will not commit a crime knowing that there are two great detectives and a group of police officers in the hotel, so he will definitely bypass the hotel!"
"After knowing these two points, we can infer that the criminals will use the terrain around the hotel to move the body, so..."
Kidd smiled slightly:
"Won't it be much easier next time?"
“Oh~~~”
Conan and Makoto Sakaki applauded at the same time and looked at Kid in surprise, especially Conan, whose hands turned red from clapping.
"You've got what it takes to be a great detective!"
Conan was quite pleased and said:
"It seems that you have gained some experience under my influence. I believe that in the near future, you will also grow into an outstanding detective!"
"I'll go to your uncle..."
Kidd's face darkened, and his tone was full of contempt:
"Just you? Influence me?"
"I think you are just a little cow dancing, who are you trying to disgust?"
"We have fought each other many times. Have you ever defeated me?"
"Hey, hey, hey, why haven't you won before?"
With his eyes wide open, Conan was very persistent on this matter:
"I often deduce your identity, okay?"
"Oh..."
Kidd sneered:
"Is it useful?"
"I'm a thief. As long as you fail to stop me from stealing the items on the notice, you don't win. At most it's a draw!"
"Okay, you said that!"
Conan's temper flared up, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and threatened:
"Don't blame me for being cruel next time!"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you."
"I say, my two elder brothers..."
Sakaki Makoto couldn't stand it any longer:
"Are you two trying to solve the case or compete with each other?"
"How about I make room for you two and let you play one-on-one?"
"Why are you starting to quarrel after you can't even say three nice words?"
"It's because this kid is too arrogant!"
The two Corgis said in unison.
"We can solve any conflicts later. Brother Kidd, just finish your reasoning first."
"Um..."
After calming down, Kidd spoke again:
"Once we are sure that the criminal will use the terrain around the hotel, we need to think about his next move. You just drew a three-dimensional picture, which made me realize..."
"There was a blind spot in our arrangement last night!"
“Where is the blind spot?”
"It's right under our feet!"
Kidd walked to the edge of the roof, pointed to the atrium on the left, then pointed to the hotel's exterior wall on the right, and finally looked forward and said:
"Yumoto Onsen Hotel is a U-shaped building with four buildings. The guest rooms we stayed in were in Building A, the restaurant was in Building B, Building C was the staff dormitory, and Building D was still under renovation. In the future, it should be used as a banquet hall to accommodate tourist groups."
"These four buildings are 5 meters apart and connected by the corridor on the first floor. That is to say, when Conan squats in the atrium and you look at the outer wall, there is a blind spot in your vision, which is at the connection of the corridor on the first floor!"
"Coincidentally, this blind spot is right opposite the cableway!"
At this point, Kidd paused and took out a telescope from his arms:
"According to my visual observation, the straight-line distance between the cableway and the blind spot is about 20 meters, and the vertical distance between the cableway and the ground is 30 meters. The prisoner climbed onto the roof one day in advance, loosely tied the rope, and let both ends droop naturally to the first floor. Then he tied the hook with a fishing line, threw it onto the cableway and fixed it, and tied the other end to the sheet that wrapped the body. In this way..."
"After killing Naoki Seiichi, the criminal only needs to quietly take the body out of the hotel, tie the waist of the body with a rope prepared in advance, and then pull the other end of the rope, the body will rise, and finally use the upward cable car to drive the hook rope, and the fishing line will pull away the bed sheet, revealing the body underneath!"
"Well, what do you think of my reasoning?"
Kidd boasted complacently:
"Is this a wake-up call?"
"Well, I admit that your reasoning is not influenced by me."
Conan said seriously:
"You learned from Maori Kogoro."
"?"
After a pause, Kidd asked:
"Are there any loopholes in my reasoning?"
"Nonsense! The rope tied to the roof is a knot! Tell me how the criminal ensured that the body stopped at the third floor and the rope was tied into a knot?"
Conan rolled his eyes:
"Also, according to you, since the prisoner had already reached the roof a day in advance, why did he go to the trouble of using the cableway?"
"Why not just let the rope hang down to the third floor, tie a knot, and secure the body?"
