Chapter 159 Who has the best fishing skills
Mao Lilan calmed down from Si Xuanyu's matter-of-fact attitude, and first asked Shan Hai Jing to fly to the abandoned building opposite to help her check and confirm that there was indeed what she was looking for.
Turning back into the house and finding the voice where Maori Kogoro was speaking, Maori Ran loudly announced: "I know who the murderer is!"
As she spoke, Maori Ran looked straight at Norio Terasawa, who said that he was not in the apartment building at the time of the crime and was thus successfully excluded as a suspect by Maori Kogoro.
It was obvious that Norio Terasawa was not a criminal with a good psychological quality. When he was looked at by Ran Mouri like that, he instantly avoided her gaze guiltily and cold sweat broke out on his head.
Maori Kogoro had his back to Terasawa Norio and did not see the other party's reaction. When he heard Maori Ran's words, Maori Kogoro was slightly stunned, and then looked at Maori Ran with some suspicion: "Xiao Ran, do you know what you are saying?"
Edogawa Conan glanced at Mao Li Ran, then at Si Xuanyu, and said nothing.
Megure Jusan saw Terazawa Norio's expression and believed what Mao Lilan said about 70%. However, he still said jokingly: "Oh, it seems that he just went to find external help? Shinichi has indeed not appeared for a long time!"
Although Mouri Ran was looking at Norio Terazawa, she also paid some attention to other people. Of course, the reactions of these people did not escape Mouri Ran's eyes.
She felt a little disappointed, but she immediately cheered herself up. Didn't she also have little confidence in herself before?
It’s normal for others to think this way!
Wasn't Shinichi also questioned when he first got involved in the case?
It's no big deal!
She will prove herself with evidence in a moment!
Instead, Sawada Hiroki directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the reactions of these people: "Uncle Maori, why don't you believe your own daughter! And Inspector Megure, Xiaolan's sister deduced it by herself, without any external help, and it has nothing to do with brother Shinichi!"
Edogawa Conan escaped the attack because he had an overwhelming desire to survive and acted carefully with his words and actions.
Maori Kogoro felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when he heard what Sawada Hiroki said, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he could only say stiffly: "Then Xiaolan, tell me, who is the murderer?"
Megure Jusan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was too arbitrary. Xiaolan, please tell me your inference!"
Mao Lilan touched Sawada Hiroki's head, gave him a grateful look, and then smiled confidently: "The murderer is Mr. Terasawa Norio, who was not in the apartment building at the time of the crime. The evidence is in that abandoned building. Why don't we go look for it together!"
Conan Edogawa leaned over to look at the abandoned building that Mao Li Ran was pointing at, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
That's it!
He got it!
Xiaolan is right! The evidence is right there!
By the time everyone arrived at the abandoned building opposite, the sun had already set and the light was a little dim.
However, with the help of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Mao Lilan quickly found the evidence she wanted.
"Found it! This is it! Mr. Terasawa Norio should be familiar with it, right?"
Ran Mouri took out the gloves and evidence bag she borrowed from Inspector Megure, put the long object on the ground into the evidence bag, and picked it up to show everyone.
Megure Jusan and the others were a little confused: "What is this?"
Edogawa Conan reflexively began to explain: "This is the rod handle! People who use connecting rods to fish may find it difficult to pull the rod apart when they are trying to tidy up the rod. At that time, in order to prevent their hands from getting cut, they need to use a plastic tube or a thicker rubber band to fix it near the connection, hold it tightly, and then turn it in the opposite direction while pulling it out!"
Maori Kogoro looked at Edogawa Conan suspiciously: "How do you know such a thing?"
Conan Edogawa said immediately: "Dr. Agasa likes fishing, he told me!"
Mao Lilan smiled in an ambiguous way: "Really? Kids nowadays know so much! Even I just asked Hiroki to look up this information for me!"
Edogawa Conan's heart trembled for no reason, but he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, so he could only smile obediently at Mao Li Ran.
Mao Lilan didn't say anything else, and turned to Terasawa Norio: "Mr. Terasawa Norio, you used to run a fishing tackle business, right? Are you familiar with this?"
Norio Terasawa was sweating profusely and couldn't speak.
Hiroki Sawada added: "By the way, in order to prevent slipping, people usually don't wear gloves when using the handle. There should be fingerprints of the user on it!"
Norio Terasawa looked as pale as death, and anyone could see that he had indeed used this thing.
Megure Jusan frowned: "But, can this kill the dead?"
Mao Lilan nodded and said, "Okay, you see, from here you can see the balcony where the deceased was, and judging by the way he died, he happened to be standing with his back to the deceased.
There is a type of fishing technique called casting. With the help of tools, the hook can be thrown dozens of meters away. The murderer used this method to throw a hard heavy object such as a lead weight from here to the balcony and successfully hit the back of the victim's head! "
Kogoro Mouri also knew something about fishing. He was sure that what Mouri Ran said was right. This method was indeed feasible, and in this way, the marks on the railing could be explained.
As Maori Kogoro looked around the ground, he seemed to have discovered something: "There is a footprint here! This is the mark of the left foot stepping forward very hard, which is consistent with the key points of the casting action. This footprint can also be compared with the shoes of several suspects!"
As Kogoro Maori spoke, he demonstrated it himself and found that similar marks were indeed left on his left foot.
Mao Lilan nodded: "Yes, the deceased was practicing Tai Chi at the time. Tai Chi is used for amateur exercise, and the movements are very slow. The murderer took advantage of this and swung the fishing rod from here when the deceased had his back to him. Then, when he was retrieving the fishing line, the hard and heavy object used to kill people just hit the railing!"
Tetsuo Dohashi also seemed to remember something: "That's right! When I was on the rooftop trying to commit suicide, I did hear a metallic collision sound. This must be it!"
Mao Lilan confirmed Tetsuo Tsuchihashi's statement: "That should be the case. The murderer probably didn't expect to leave knock marks on the railing at that time. In addition, another unexpected thing happened at that time."
Si Xuanyu sighed: "Alas, poor little bird, it was accidentally injured by the murderer's weapon!"
Little bird?
Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "Ah! The bird that the little devil picked up was knocked unconscious by the murderer while flying, and then fell to the ground! It must have a concussion!"
Shan Hai Jing is now wearing bird skin, and he can empathize with the unfortunate bird: "This is too much! Killing is killing! Can't you be more accurate? Hurting a bird is too much!"
Megure Jusan's mouth twitched. What was he saying? What did "kill if you want to kill" mean?
Mao Lilan was amused by Shan Hai Jing. She stroked Shan Hai Jing's fur to comfort him, then looked at Terasawa Norio and became serious: "However, this place is still some distance away from the balcony. To be able to hit the target with one strike, you must have practiced a lot. Now you can compare footprints and fingerprints. If you search this building carefully, you may get more results."
Megure Jusan stroked his chin and said, "From 4:50 to 5:12, the time between them is not that long. The murder weapon should not have been destroyed or thrown away in time. If we look carefully, we can find it."
Seeing the irrefutable evidence, Norio Terasawa's face turned grim. After a moment, he gave a bitter laugh: "That guy not only laughed at me and belittled fishing, but also robbed my shop and broke my most precious fishing rod! Such a person! I can never forgive his behavior! I will use the fishing technique that he despises the most to take his life!"
