The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 339 It’s all about stance

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded slightly in response to the greeting from the well-digging police officer.

With just a few simple words, Bai Masong could tell that this well-digging police officer was also an old scoundrel in the police station.

When he arrived at the crime scene, the first thing he did was not to maintain the scene, look for clues, or inquire about the case, but to say hello to him, a passerby who "happened to pass by" here.

hehe......

Bai Masong seemed to disapprove of such policemen, and even felt disgusted with them.

Even now, when he was planning to cover up the case for Shimabukuro Kimie, it was still the same.

In other words, these two things are not in conflict with each other.

He needs Shimabukuro Kimie's disguise skills, and he needs someone who can use the disguise skills and whom he can control to deal with the future full moon events and the later red and black confrontations that he does not understand.

This is his short-term goal.

And rectifying the internal strength of the police has been his long-term goal for decades.

Although these two seem to be different temporarily, for him they are both based on his own position.

What is a stance?

He, Bai Masong, is the son of the Superintendent of Police. The Bai Ma family is a top family in the island country's police and even in the island country's political and legal circles. This is his position.

"Officer Digging Well, investigate the scene first."

Bai Masong said coldly to the well-digging officer leading the Fukui Prefectural Police.

"Ah, yes, yes, Officer Baiba is right."

Officer Digging Well couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, this Officer White Horse really took the case very seriously, just as the rumors said!

So the well-digging police officer nodded in agreement.

Then, he gave an order to the team of policemen behind him:

"The forensic class is collecting clues and investigating the scene. Shenmu, you take the people there..."

Then, the well digging officer also asked Bai Masong,

"Officer Baima, who is this deceased person?"

"The deceased is Naoko Kuroe, a native of the American Island..."

Bai Masong introduced the current situation to the well-digging police officer.

As he spoke, Officer Digging Wells took notes in his police manual.

Fortunately, the wind and waves have stopped now, and it did not rain at night like it did during the day, otherwise it would have been inconvenient for the police to take notes.

Bai Masong finally added,

"At the same time, the deceased was also a good friend of Ms. Ebihara Sumi who died yesterday."

"That's all I know. You can ask Ms. Shimabukuro and Mr. Fukuyama for the rest."

As he spoke, Hakubamatsu pointed at Shimabukuro Kimie and Fukuyama Rokuro.

Horijius listened and nodded repeatedly, then he asked Shimabukuro Kimie and Fukuyama Rokuro respectively.

After more than an hour, the on-site investigation was basically completed.

Due to the identities of Bai Ma Song and others, Officer Horii also consciously learned from Officer Megure and came to discuss the case with Bai Ma Song and others.

"According to our investigation, there is a mark on the neck of Ms. Kuroe Naoko, which clearly shows that she was strangled by a rope and suffocated to death."

"At the same time, we also found a rope in the shirt pocket of the deceased, Naoko Kuroe."

"After comparison, we can find that this rope is most likely the murder weapon that caused the death of the deceased."

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro frowned and said in a deep voice,

"Is this murderer so bold? Isn't he afraid that we can find him by following this rope?"

"I'm afraid it's not that the murderer is bold, but that he is fearless."

Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed and he spoke with gritted teeth.

Listening to what the two said, Officer Digging Well also smiled bitterly.

"Yes, what Hattori-san said is correct."

"After our investigation, we found that this rope is a very common rope on the American island. 90% of the fishermen have used it. It would be very difficult to investigate from above."

"After all, you can find a rope like this from the garbage on the beach even if you go to the beach."

Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened.

It seems that the murderer this time was well prepared.

but......

Conan and Hattori Heiji once again recalled the piece of sand without footprints.

Although they are not very old, they have solved many cases. They understand one thing very well: the more fancy the methods, the more loopholes there are.

After all, people are people, not tools. The more fancy the technique, the more details it means, and the increase in details will inevitably lead to mistakes.

And finding these loopholes is what detectives do.

As expected, the well digging officer immediately mentioned the problem of sand.

"Officer White Horse, Mr. Maori, the most important thing now is the sand around the deceased."

"This stretch of sand, coupled with the testimony of several people, is enough to prove that there are no footprints here. So we have to think carefully about how the murderer was able to move the deceased to this wall without leaving any traces."

The words of the well-digging officer made everyone silent again.

After a while, Maori Kogoro took the lead in proposing a hypothesis.

“Could it be that the murderer directly carried the body of the deceased here, and then walked back while cleaning the sand here?”

"As long as you sweep away your footprints, it will naturally look like there are no footprints."

Although Maori Kogoro's reasoning was simple and plain, it shocked the well-digging police officer who had not used his brain for a long time.

"I see!"

"Mr. Maori is indeed a famous detective. He can make such a brilliant deduction!"

"That being said, it is indeed possible! It seems that as long as the murderer has enough time and something like a broom, he can easily finish this scene of sand without footprints!"

Officer Horii's words made Kogoro Mouri, who had only made some brief inferences, suddenly feel that he was really powerful.

Therefore, our Maori detective immediately began to show off his unique skills again - opening his mouth, sticking out his tongue, and letting out a proud and unbridled laugh.

"This is a bit unacceptable,"

At this time, Hattori Heiji raised objections.

"Although this method can indeed avoid leaving any footprints, it also takes a lot of time."

"This is the home of Ms. Sumi Ebihara, and her memorial service is being held here."

“Normally there might not be many people coming here, but now this house is crowded with people coming to keep vigil and pay their respects.”

"There are so many people coming and going. When the murderer committed these crimes, was he really not afraid of being seen?"

Hattori Heiji's words were also agreed by Conan.
