Transform randomly in Kexue World

Chapter 454 Let’s dance, Kogoro

Conan followed Takagi's legs and sneaked into the crime scene skillfully and smoothly.

Martin and Xiaolan followed in a swaggering manner.

The hotel room is in a retro style, and the furniture inside is all in the style of the era before Xiaolan was born, including a square box TV, which is actually coin-operated.

Now a key clue is on this coin-operated TV. This TV will play for one hour after inserting a hundred yen coin, and it will not accumulate. Just when the three people entered the room, the TV was still playing, but when the body was discovered, the TV automatically turned off.

In addition, about an hour ago, Kuronakamaki, who met Mouri Kogoro by chance at the station, received a call from the deceased. From this, the police concluded that the deceased was killed within an hour.

"Excuse me." Bugs Bunny Martin appeared in the camera: "Where is the medical examiner? Where is the autopsy?"

Conan explained: "rigor mortis and corpse spots usually begin to appear 2-3 hours after death, and the corpse is now pale, but rigor mortis is not obvious yet, so we can only speculate that it will be more than half an hour and less than three hours. After a while, when the corpse spots appear, we may be able to confirm further.”

In short, current autopsy technology cannot narrow the time of death to less than one hour.

Martin shrugged: "Okay, but generally speaking, this kind of plot is a trick to confuse the time of death and create an alibi."

"Stop, forget about the first half, is your back part still a timer?"

Duang~ Xiaolan, who was blushing, punched Martin.

"You asked the wrong person. It's my first time meeting you too." Conan said honestly: "But shouldn't your focus be on the rope now?"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro noticed that there were snacks scattered on the floor under the TV.

The Memu Police Department also came in, pointing to a candy that looked like a lead pendant with a red cone hanging from a cotton thread: "I loved eating these gummy candies with long strings when I was a kid!"

"Anyway, there must be a timer here." Martin said firmly: "Candles, ice cubes, ropes, whips, blindfolds, mouthballs..."

"Oh, there's also ice cream." Among the scattered snacks was an ice cream cone, which of course had melted into a bag of sugar water: "Now there are ice cubes as well."

"You've applied the plot of a mystery novel to reality again...Wait a minute, could it be..." Conan complained habitually, and then suddenly realized: "What is the name of the mystery novel you are reading?"

Very good, it seems that these two children not only passed the standard in physiological knowledge, but also exceeded it.

"What do you think it is, detective? What is it?"

"Hey, Xiaolan, do you know? Xiaolan~?" Martin turned around and asked Xiaolan again.

Conan stood on tiptoe and found some water drops on the table next to the TV.

"How do you eat this thing?" Martin asked Conan sincerely. He had never seen such a retro snack in the world of "Snack War": "Can you use it as bait to catch yourself?"

"Hey, these snacks are really nostalgic." Mouri Kogoro squatted aside and recalled his childhood: "Lemon soda candies, four-cornered candies, miso senbei..."

""Death Schoolboy"."

Facts have proved that some people cannot become detectives no matter how many mystery novels they read.

"I...I don't know."

"Go to hell."

"We have the rope, we have the ice cubes, and now we still need candles and whips..." Bugs Bunny Martin counted on his fingers.

"It's okay if you don't have those." Conan complained with dead eyes. He already knew what to do with the timer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the forensics department reported: "Police department, a whip, rope and candle were found in the bedside drawer. Maybe the murder weapon will be among them!" Martin shrugged to Conan: "This is possible. "

Conan's dead eyes said: "This really doesn't exist."

"Stop making trouble." Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied: "You should reason seriously, Conan."

If the idea of ​​preventing crimes in advance has failed, then it is time to seriously solve the case and seek justice for the deceased!

"Already know. Now we can confirm that there is really a timer device, so the time of death is definitely not within an hour." Martin explained to Xiaolan: "The murderer must be the one who has an alibi within an hour."

"All three have alibis. We were at the station an hour ago." Conan corrected him speechlessly. Martin's reasoning level seemed to be on the same level as his uncle's, and he easily forgot about the reality of the situation.

By the way, Mouri Kogoro has now deduced that the murderer must be an outside robber.

"But..." Conan drawled: "The identity of the murderer is indeed known."

"Hey! Really!" Xiaolan opened her eyes wide.

"He is the candidate for reasoning..." Conan looked at Xiaolan and snickered: "Please, please? Female high school detective, classmate Mao Lilan?"

Xiaolan stopped letting Conan anesthetize Kogoro.

"Da baa yo." Xiaolan stretched out her index finger and said '×' to reject Conan.

If Conan asked him with a serious expression, she would agree, but Conan's snickering just now clearly showed that this kid was holding back his bad intentions. Moreover, in the last case of Taku Itakura, Xiaolan once performed as a double act for Conan. The tone Conan used at that time was so contrived and disgusting that Xiaolan was unwilling to go through it again.

"But I don't want to waste time reminding uncle, it's so troublesome. The key to this case is a technique, and it's really difficult to give tips." Conan also complained: "And you also want to end it quickly, go to Dolphin Paradise. ?”

Then Conan and Xiao Lan both looked at Martin.

"Okay." After understanding the meaning of the two of them, Martin shook his head helplessly: "Who told me to pamper you, brother? I'll handle it~"

Then Bugs Bunny Martin transformed again, put on Sherlock Holmes' classic deerstalker suit, picked up his pipe and prepared to perform the mystery show of Detective Bugs Bunny.

But as soon as he stepped out, Martin turned around and came back. He took off the detective suit from his body and threw it away. At that moment, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a new idea.

"In a different way, you can just tell me who the murderer is."

"I thought you should know." Conan was confused. After confirming that he was a fictional character, he thought that Martin was pretending to be confused every time he encountered a case during this period.

"Can you recite Chapter 2, Section 3 of "Murder on the Orient Express" for me?"

"Can't it be replaced by Sherlock Holmes? I'll recite it backwards."

Martin looked disdainful: "You are not my 'Holmes' either."

Conan understood. Although Martin had read his story, he hadn't remembered all the details. He probably only remembered a rough outline?
Conan muttered and told Martin the identity of the murderer, the techniques used, and the evidence that could be found so far. Then he saw Martin take out a large tape recorder from behind his back, the kind commonly used for hip-hop dance, and put it on the Music plays on the floor.

The sudden music melody has a strong rhythm, which makes people feel refreshed when listening to it. It is called "Dandylion", a new song by Okino Yoko.

"Miss Yoko's song?" Before hearing the lyrics, Mouri Kogoro, a hardcore fan, heard it and was very surprised: "Why is the music playing? Could it be that-"

"That's right." Martin, Bugs Bunny, who was dressed in a formal suit and looked like he was attending a high-class banquet, walked towards him and stretched out his hand: "It's time to show your reasoning in the dance, Mr. Mouri Kogoro!"
