I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 610 Different minds

Xiaotiangou Mountain focuses on the original ecology,
Therefore, on this mountain, except for the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, the watchtower at the top of the mountain, and the climbing path connecting the two, there are basically no signs of human beings.

Even the trees were allowed to grow freely, which made the path under Guangyou's feet crooked, and they had to turn after a few steps.

After several people walked along this path for a few minutes, Guangyou found that they seemed to have reached the end of the forest.

His gaze passed through the gap between the trees, and what he saw was not the thick and thick trees, but the boundless and vast sky.

"There may be a cliff ahead, be careful, don't step on the air and fall."

As he said that, Guangyou pulled Xiao Ai behind him. In this way, if he really encountered a landslide or stepped on the ground, it would be him who fell, not Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai naturally knew Guangyou's intentions in doing this, and she noticed that this was Guangyou's subconscious behavior.

It's a really good feeling to be protected.
"Don't be so careful, there is a road ahead." Conan pushed aside the bushes, and a road for two people to walk side by side was displayed in front of them.

Looking from the direction of this road, there is a crooked neck tree growing tenaciously on the edge of the cliff.

"That tree was what I saw before." Conan recalled and nodded, "The crime scene is right under that tree."

"Okay, don't stand here stupidly, go there first and then talk."

When Conan was thinking about something, Guangyou and Xiaoai had passed him and came to the tree.

The tree in front of me is not strong due to lack of nutrition. Compared with the trees in the woods not far away, it is like the difference in stature between Genta and Conan.

"Guangyou, look at the tree trunk." Xiao Ai squeezed Guangyou's hand and said, "There are many holes on it, it looks like shoe spikes."

Hearing this, Guangyou lowered his head and observed carefully. Indeed, as Xiao Ai said, he found many holes with a diameter less than five millimeters on the tree trunk.

These pores are basically equally spaced and arranged in an orderly manner, and they are certainly not naturally occurring.

Moreover, this place is remote, if he hadn't found that trail by chance, he probably wouldn't be able to find it here, so the possibility of tourists playing tricks was ruled out.

If you only look at the outermost circle, it is easy to see that it is a shoe shape.

That's why Xiao Ai said that these holes are signs of shoe studs left on them.

"If you climb this tree, you can indeed climb to the lookout with a rope."

Thinking of this, Guangyou raised his head and looked in the direction of the observation deck, only to see that under the sunlight, the cliff reflected a dazzling metallic luster.

Before Guangyou could speak, Conan, who was following behind, said in surprise, "Climbing nails and iron locks? Why are there such things here?"

"Do you think people swing on a swing?"

After hearing what Conan said, Guangyou couldn't help complaining, "I guess the murderer installed the carabiners first, then he tied one end of the rope to the tree and the other end to the carabiner, and then he climbed up the rope and attacked the dead."

This reasoning sounds reasonable at first glance, but after careful thought, there is a fatal loophole.

"I don't agree with this statement." Conan mused, "If you say it, then there should be no spider silk on the dead body, but I found it on the dead body."

"Also, do you remember the scene at that time? At that time, the deceased seemed to jump off by himself, without any resistance at all."

Being mentioned by Conan, Guangyou also remembered that the deceased did not resist, not only that, the deceased did not even shout.

At this time, suddenly, there was a melodious and melodious bird cry in the ears of several people.

"Twitter chirp~"

Following the sound, Guangyou found two little birds sitting on the branches of this crooked-neck tree.

The distance was a bit far, and he couldn't see very clearly. He only knew that the body length of these two birds was definitely no more than 150 mm, and there were obvious white circles around the eyes.

The tail feathers look dark brown, and the two flanks are markedly chestnut red, and the characteristics are very obvious.

"That's the red-flanked white-eye, right?"

Xiao Ai doesn't know much about birds, but she has a little impression of this bird in her mind. After thinking for a while, she said, "I remember that this kind of bird will build its nest on a branch 2.5 meters or higher from the ground, and the nest material Will vary depending on conditions."

"You mean to say that there is spider silk in the list of materials for this bird's nest." Guangyou understood Xiao Ai's meaning. If the bird didn't help the case, then Xiao Ai would not disclose these materials.

"En." Xiao Ai nodded, and continued, "If this bird is really a red-flanked white-eye, then the spider silk on the body of the deceased can explain it."

Immediately afterwards, the three of them fell into deep thought again. Even so, they thought about different things.

For Guangyou, the case can be concluded here, after all, the evidence and suspects needed to solve the case have been identified.

Among them, the suspect is naturally Kondo, who is also a park worker. According to the current situation, only Kondo is suspected of killing Hirai.

When he first arrived at Xiaotengu Mountain, Guangyou had heard the conversation between Hirai and Kondo.

From the conversation between the two, we can know that the relationship between the two is actually not good, and there may even be hatred.

Otherwise, Hirai wouldn't have said something like "I'm dead, you should be very happy".

More importantly, Kondo who works here should be familiar with most of the places on the mountain, and Guangyou can definitely think that Kondo knows how to get to this crooked neck tree.

As for the evidence, of course he had, and that was the holes in the trunk.

Before that, Guangyou accidentally glanced at the hiking boots under Kondo's feet, which were old models with studs, while the newer hiking boots generally did not have studs.

In recent years, manufacturers have made great progress in technology. Even if there are no studs, it will not affect the anti-skid performance of the shoes.

It's like the pair of hiking boots that Xiao Ai wore today, the pair under her feet has no spikes.

Looking back, you only need to compare Kondo's shoes to know whether the hole in the tree was left by him.

Therefore, what Guangyou is thinking about now is where to take Xiao Ai to play after the case is over.

For Conan, the case is not over yet.

He knew that the suspect was Kondo, and that the evidence was the hole in the tree trunk, but he couldn't bring the criminal to justice because he didn't know the criminal's method.

There is not much evidence in his hand now, and Kondo can completely push these away.

For example, in the holes in the tree trunk, Kondo can make a fuss about the white-eyed bird, saying that he climbs the tree to protect the bird, so Conan has nothing to do with him.

As for the climbing nails installed on the cliff, Conan has no evidence to prove that the climbing nails were installed by Kondo, and Kondo can just make up a reason to fool the matter of the climbing nails.

In summary, Conan has to reason out Kondo's modus operandi.

Then he can find an opportunity to move out of the old routine, which is simply to anesthetize Uncle Mori and let the "sleeping Kogoro" come out to reason.

First explain the reasoning process in front of Kondo, and after breaking Kondo's defense, throw out the evidence.

Only by taking a two-pronged approach can Kondo admit his crime.

Xiao Ai and the other two thought differently.

She was wondering if she should take Guangyou to eat when the case was over.

Because Xiao Ai always felt that Guangyou was not full, otherwise why would the first sentence that came out after seeing that rabbit be "this rabbit must be delicious"?
