Because he saw particles of lime next to the bones.
This discovery was irrefutable evidence supporting the murder case, allowing them to confirm that a brutal murder had occurred here!
Why do I say so? This requires us to talk about the situation of this skeleton.
The skeleton they found had completely turned to white bones, and the bones might have been scattered everywhere due to being gnawed by animals or caused by wind and rain.
Under normal circumstances, it only means that the deceased has been dead for a long time.
However, this is only the case under normal weathering.
If human intervention is needed to quickly decompose the body into skeletons, sprinkling lime on the body can also achieve the same effect.
Because lime is mainly composed of calcium oxide, once it comes into contact with liquid and absorbs water, it will generate heat and release a large amount of heat, which is prone to violent boiling.
The prisoners also sprinkled lime around the body in order to allow rainwater to react chemically with calcium oxide to produce calcium hydroxide.
Calcium hydroxide is highly corrosive. If it comes into contact with the skin, it will cause the skin to absorb moisture, dissolve proteins and corrode cell tissues.
In this way, the corpse will be corroded faster.
In addition, they also found four long and two-piece cigarettes under the stone, which were suspected to be "death messages".
This is also why Conan said this was a very brutal murder case.
Moreover, because of the lime, all traces at the scene were corroded, so it was difficult to determine the time and cause of death.
However, considering the missing Kawasaki Masao, this is basically the same as Tang Ze's speculation, it is definitely the other party's body.
When Tang Ze understood the situation, the boss Tian Tulingsi called down the two men upstairs and told the three of them about it.
"Eh?! You said you found Ma's bones in the forest!?" After hearing what Amado Ryoji said, Nonomiya Etsuko stood up and questioned angrily, "But how can a pile of bones prove that they belong to Ma's? There's no way to tell, right?!"
"No, unfortunately, we found this next to the sea valley..."
Miyano Akemi took out a ring and looked at the ring finger of the other person's left hand: "This ring should be a pair with the one on your hand, right?
There are also initials of my lover’s name inlaid on it...”
"But that's a bit too absolute."
Erchuan Zhao maliciously speculated, "Maybe that guy Ma Xiong killed someone and deliberately left behind the ring that could prove his identity in order to fake his death and get away!"
"About this, I have something to ask you." Conan said seriously: "Does Mr. He Sheng have cavities?"
Seeing Nonomiya Etsuko's suddenly ugly expression, Conan paused and then said, "Is the second tooth on the right side of the upper jaw broken?"
"The upper jaw...hahaha..." Nonomiya Etsuko laughed, "If that's the case, then it proves that this skeleton is not Ma Xiong's."
She explained in a relaxed tone, "Although Ma Xiong does have cavities, the cavities are located in his lower front teeth."
“Oh my god…!”
But what Nonomiya Etsuko didn't expect was that as she spoke, Ayumi beside her screamed.
"It seems that it is..."
"So it really is him..."
After hearing what Mitsuhiko and Genta said, Nonomiya Etsuko's face changed, and she had a bad feeling in her heart, "What is going on!? What are you talking about!?"
"I'm really sorry. The only tooth treatment marks left on the skeleton we found were actually on the right side of the two middle teeth in the lower jawbone. The one that was broken was the lower front tooth." Huiyuan told him the cruel reality with a heavy face.
"I'm sorry, the reason why this kid said that was because I told him in advance."
Karasawa took the responsibility to prevent Conan from being too prominent and attracting attention. "The reason I did this is because I was afraid that Miss Nonomiya would deliberately conceal the truth. I can tell the truth, so I deliberately said that the correct tooth decay was on other teeth..."
"I'm so sorry..." Conan apologized weakly.
"How could it be..."
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Nonomiya Etsuko felt dizzy and took two steps back unconsciously, her eyes trembling: "Ma Xiong... he has already..."
The next moment, she no longer had the strength to support her body, and she knelt down on the table beside her and burst into tears.
"In short, we must call the police quickly!" Dr. Agasa looked up at his boss and found that he was constantly making phone calls.
"I'm so sorry... There seems to be something wrong with the phone..." The boss kept trying the phone, but there was no response at all.
Tang Ze walked over after hearing this, checked the phone, and said helplessly: "There's only a power cord on this phone now, the phone line is not connected at all..."
"Ah... How could this happen?!" The boss exclaimed, "We were still able to fight just now!"
"Are there any other phones or phone lines?" Dr. Agasa asked anxiously.
"There's only this one phone line, and there's no backup..." the boss apologized.
"There is no signal on this side of the mountain, and mobile phones cannot be used..." Conan's face was solemn, but he felt a little relieved after looking at Tang Ze.
No matter what, Tang Ze's action of hiding his identity just now was equivalent to preparing a trump card for them. No one knew his actions or his skills.
