Moreover, the room is heated, so the stiffness should have occurred earlier.
But the corpse behaved in a completely different way.
If it was really those three people who did it, then it proves that even the corpse might have been tampered with!
After a series of reasoning, this idea naturally emerged in the minds of the two.
Of course, Conan is mostly guessing, while Tang Ze is basically confirmed.
Of course, these did not affect the actions of the two.
After Sato Miwako left, the two of them exchanged a brief few words and then walked around the room at the same time, looking for a suitable environment to delay rigor mortis.
As the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, Ms. Umeda can be considered a wealthy person. The appliances in her home are very luxurious, and her refrigerator is so large that it looks like it can easily fit an adult.
However, after opening the refrigerator, Conan ruled out this option because the refrigerator was full of food and some bottles and jars of alcohol and drinks, with no gaps at all.
Not only that, even the classification is very neat, and it doesn't look like it was crammed in haste at all.
'It doesn't look like a refrigerator.'
As Conan was speaking, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing past. He turned his head and found that it was Tang Ze who opened the balcony door.
"This is a suitable place..." Conan looked up and felt the cold wind and said, "If the body is placed here, it should be able to relieve stiffness..."
"Not only that, I found the problem as soon as I walked into the living room." Tang Ze pointed to the curtains in the living room.
"Is it oil paint?" Conan wiped the curtains, a look of realization flashing across his face: "It seems that after the criminal killed someone, he moved Miss Umeda's body from the kitchen to the balcony.
But what about the method? The criminal should have come here with the other two people…"
"As for this, I found this on the balcony." Tang Ze handed an evidence bag to Conan.
After Tang Ze and Conan separated in the kitchen, they went to the balcony first. After all, in cases involving high-rise apartments, the "balcony" is also a place where many techniques need to be used.
But before he reached the destination, his super sense of smell detected the smell of oil paint on the balcony curtains.
This immediately confirmed to him that the body was stored on the balcony. After all, the smell of the oil paint was exactly the same as the one used by Miss Umeda to put on makeup on her face.
Tang Ze guessed that the criminal most likely accidentally got the stain on the curtains when moving the body to the balcony.
Since the place where the body was moved was found, it proved that this was the place where the other party's method was terminated. Tang Ze naturally went to the balcony to check the situation.
And what is stored in that evidence bag is the key evidence to solve the case!
“Artificial hair!?”
When Conan saw the evidence in the evidence bag, his pupils suddenly contracted violently.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind like thunder, connecting everything together in an instant.
Conan raised his head, his bright eyes meeting a pair of equally sharp eyes above him.
The next moment, a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.
Everything is implied.
…….
"Everything I said is true, you have to believe me, Mr. Detective!!"
Under Chiba's escort, Shimizu Masataka walked towards the door. While being forced to walk outside, he shouted loudly to Officer Megure, trying to convince him of his innocence.
Unfortunately, since we have found nothing at the moment, we will definitely not let this guy, who is a major suspect, go.
"Um, Mr. Criminal, can we leave now?"
After seeing Shimizu Masataka being taken away, Kimura Miura, Ishikawa and the other two from the room next to them also came out one after another.
"Well, no problem." Hearing Miki Kimura's question, Inspector Megure nodded without any intention of stopping her.
In his opinion, the three people were completely innocent of any suspicion.
"I'm sorry, the other two can leave, but Mr. Kijima, please come back with us to the Metropolitan Police Department."
However, when Minoru Kimura and the other two were saying goodbye and preparing to leave, Karasawa suddenly called out to them.
"Eh? Brother Karasawa? This is..." Inspector Megure was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Kimura Miura with a scrutinizing look on his face.
It’s no wonder that Inspector Megure reacted like this. After all, he trusts Karasawa very much and knows that he is not the kind of person who speaks carelessly.
This means that Tang Ze has indeed found evidence that the other party is a major suspect!
"Detective, what do you mean by that?" Kijima Minoru stopped and turned to look at Tang Ze and smiled, "Do you suspect I'm the criminal?"
"Isn't this an obvious fact?" Tang Ze asked back as a matter of course, confirming the other party's words.
"If that's what you said, then produce the evidence!" Miki Kimura's face was as dark as ink, and his tone instantly became stiff.
"Mr. Ishikawa, I'd like to ask when and where you met up with Mr. Kijima today?"
In the face of Kijima Miki's questioning, Tang Ze completely ignored the other party, but looked at Ishikawa Jiro and asked.
After hearing what the two said, Ishikawa Jiro, whose head was a little confused, did not think about it anymore and just answered honestly: "We agreed to meet in front of the Beika Department Store before three o'clock."
"Wait, Mr. Criminal."
Hearing the two people's sharp words, Ishikawa quickly came out to defend his friend: "Kijima has been with us the whole time, how could he have the time to kill someone?"
"Yes, even if we split up, we'd only have to look for a pay phone," Nakamura Yoko agreed. "But by then, the editor-in-chief would have been killed."
