The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 316: Inspector Megure's Perspectives Are Always Unique

"The technique is actually very simple. Just stick the corner of the apron to the inside of the right door, and then fold the corner of the apron into the inside of the closet, and you're done."

As Bai Masong spoke, everyone couldn't help but imagine this scene in their minds. When they thought about the way to open the wardrobe door, they soon understood everything.

"I see,"

Inspector Megure seemed very excited.

"If you place the corners of the apron like this, when the door of the closet is not open, the corners of the apron will not be exposed."

"After that, Miss Kikuyo entered the room and opened the sliding door of the closet on the right. When she closed it, the corner of her apron was revealed!"

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded. Inspector Megure seemed a little smarter today. Of course, it could also be that his skills this time were just average.

"That's also why I said that Mr. Mino Muneyuki took advantage of Miss Kasama Kikuyo."

"Only if Miss Kikuyo goes to get the first aid kit and then opens the closet will this piece of clothing be revealed. In this way, Mr. Mino Muneyuki's alibi can be complete."

By the time Bai Masong finished speaking, Mino Muneyuki's face had become extremely ugly.

He was still struggling inside, so he didn't say anything, as if he agreed with Bai Masong's words and acknowledged that he was the murderer.

However, Mino Muneyuki remained silent, and Inspector Megure raised another question.

"Well, Brother Hakuba, there is another question. Why didn't Miss Kasama Kikuyo see the body of the deceased when she opened the closet door?"

"Yes,"

Kasama Kikuyo also nodded repeatedly in agreement, and her tone was very flustered.

"I can guarantee that when I opened the closet, I really didn't see any body."

"Um,"

Bai Ma Song looked at Kasama Kikuyo's panic and said calmly,

"Ms. Kikuyo, don't panic. I told you that it's normal that you didn't see it. After all, it's because Mr. Mino Muneyuki set up a trick that caused you not to notice it."

Blindfold?

Kasama Kikuyo was stunned. The closet was so big, and the body was so big. Besides, it was impossible for the dead body to hide behind these clothes on its own initiative...

Bai Masong had no habit of keeping people in suspense. He walked to the closet door again and pointed at the thin long-sleeved shirts inside.

"Everyone, tell me, if the body is hidden behind this pile of thin cloth sleeves, wouldn't it be difficult to see?"

Hiding behind this?

Officer Megure was stunned.

"Uh, Brother Bai Ma, this body is dead and he can't possibly..."

"Inspector Megure, it is precisely because a corpse is inanimate that it is easier to be manipulated."

Bai Masong interrupted Inspector Megure and continued,

"The body itself, of course, couldn't stand up, and it couldn't be completely hidden behind it, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen out when he opened the closet later."

"But, just hang him up and secure him."

Fixed?

Inspector Megure's eyes began to show confusion again. What does this mean?

Bai Masong sighed inwardly, as expected, Inspector Megure was able to realize the problem with the corner of clothes just now, this kind of intelligence is indeed short-lived.

Forget it, Inspector Megure is old and we really can't have too much hope in him.

He can do the basic work of an ordinary department head, and then be a good supporting actor at the crime scene, which is pretty good.

"Everyone, you can think about it. If you want to put a stick in this closet, but want it to tilt outwards, and at the same time prevent it from falling out, what would you do?"

"Um......"

Inspector Megure began to stroke his chin again, thinking.

"I see. If you compare the corpse to a stick, it's easier to understand."

Sato Miwako looked at the clothes hangers on the closet, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly,

"If it were me, I would probably tie the stick with a rope to the clothes hanger above the closet."

As he spoke, he pointed to the clothes hanger on top of the closet.

"Ah."

Bai Masong nodded.

"Very close."

"If it's just to prevent it from falling out, tying it to the hanger will be enough."

“But if it’s a flip-flop, that’s not enough.”

As he said this, Bai Masong changed the subject and looked at Conan who was watching the show with great interest.

"Conan, when Mr. Mino Muneno led you to open the closet, did he open the door with both hands?"

Open the door with both hands?

What do you mean?

Everyone was somewhat confused by the question that Bai Masong suddenly asked Conan.

Conan was very clear in his mind, he secretly gave Bai Masong a look, and then said obediently,

"Yes, Brother Baiba, at that time, Teacher Mino did use both hands to open the left and right doors of the closet!"

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded, and then asked everyone a question,

"Everyone, don't you think it's strange?"

"The clothes are placed on the right side of the closet. Only the right side has space to hide the body. The left side is already filled with boxes of various sundries. Why did Mr. Mino Muneno open both sides of the closet?"

"Logically, all you need to do is open a wardrobe."

Before Bai Mashong said this, no one had any idea, but after Bai Mashong said this, everyone became surprised.

Indeed, the closet on the left was full of storage boxes, and it was impossible to put the body in there. Moreover, the corner of the apron was also exposed in the closet on the right.

No matter how you look at it, opening the wardrobe on the left is a very unreasonable behavior.

"Then why is that?"

Inspector Megure adhered to the principle of resolving doubts and immediately asked questions.

"Because, of course, if we don't do this, the body won't fall out."

Bai Masong said lightly.

"what?!"

Inspector Megure was horrified.

"Is the body in the closet on the left?"

Forehead......

Bai Masong was speechless after listening to what Inspector Megure said. He had clearly said before that it was impossible for a body to be hidden in the closet on the left, so how could Inspector Megure come up with such a... uh... unique insight.

"Cough cough,"

Bai Masong coughed twice and then continued,

"No, it's just that the mechanism for fixing the corpse is connected to the wardrobe on the left."

"What Miwako said before is somewhat close."

"In fact, we only need to tie a rope to the wooden stick, and then tie a knot at the other end of the rope. After that, pass the rope through the hanger on the wardrobe and then pass it out from the left door. Because there is a knot, it can be fixed by the knot, wardrobe and door gap."
