Chapter 858 The blood stains are abnormal

Qing Musong carefully examined the bloodstains on the ground and found that something was indeed wrong.

It stands to reason that after the body is stabbed, the blood will scatter in a fan shape in all directions after the weapon is removed.

But the bloodstains on the ground were obviously not right, as if there was an arc-shaped object blocking part of the bloodstains. Because the bloodstains on the ground, from the victim's position, were concave fan-shaped, and normally they should be convex fan-shaped.

Is it...

Is it really an umbrella?!

In this case, Qingbian Dingwu, the only one who had a problem with his umbrella, would become a suspect.

Of course, it is also possible that someone brought two umbrellas, gave one to Mr. Qingmei, and kept the other to commit the crime.

Since there was an umbrella blocking the way, it is not surprising that there was no blood on the murderer's body.

After checking the bloodstains, Aoki Matsu checked Mrs. Hoshina's body again.

There were no signs on the body other than the fatal wound, but the problem was the large gem necklace on Mrs. Hoko's chest.

It seemed like something had stained the big gem, and it looked a little yellow.

Qing Musong looked at it carefully and found that it looked a bit like something in the case he had just solved.

Reaching out his hand next to the big gem, Qing Musong blocked the light above, and sure enough, he saw that the big gem was actually glowing under the shadow of his palm - fluorescent paint!

Seeing this, Maruta Ayumi said quickly, "This is fluorescent paint, so that we can find Mrs. Hoshina even in the dark."

Qing Mu Song turned to Qing Mei Yue Dao and asked, "Excuse me, do you know if anyone has touched the necklace?"

Qingmei Yuedao shook his head when he heard this: "Many guests at the birthday party have touched this necklace. Because this birthday party can also be regarded as a display of Madam's new jewelry."

Maori Kogoro also said, "Yes, that's true. So, she was also very proud to let someone touch her gold watch."

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji immediately said, "Then the customer with fluorescent paint on his finger is the murderer?"

Aoki Matsu shook his head: "It's not that simple. If I were the murderer, I would have gone to the bathroom to wash my hands long ago." The murderer is not a fool.

Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if we could use the fingerprints on the necklace to narrow it down to a few people."

Qingmei Yuedao heard this and said, "As far as I know, many people have touched it."

[If we investigate from this perspective, we probably won’t find anything.] Qing Musong thought silently.

After thinking for a while, Qing Musong looked at everyone and said, "Can you please go to the next room so that we can record your statements and check your belongings?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Upon hearing this, Furugaki Rinzo said, "Wait a minute, how do you explain the blood splattered all over? According to your reasoning, the murderer should be covered in blood, right?"

Zhou Fang Zhiqiu agreed, "Yes, if we don't figure this out, how can everyone be willing to cooperate with the recording of statements and body searches?"

"That's right. We have to be investigated even though we have no suspicion." One guest was very dissatisfied with the event.

A guest chimed in: "Isn't this very rude?"

Seeing that a riot was about to break out, Qing Musong said to the guests calmly, "We did not find any footprints of the murderer in the backyard. So the murderer must have pretended to escape. He first left traces of blood on the window grilles and the balcony, and then opened the window and pretended to escape through the window.

If the murderer hadn't escaped, it meant that he was very likely still hiding the long, sharp weapon that pierced the victim's heart like an icicle. As for the bloodstains, it was simple. The bloodstains splashed on the ground were obviously wrong. There must have been something blocking the way.

So the murderer had anticipated this and used something he had prepared to block the splattered blood while pulling out the murder weapon, so there was no blood on his body. There are many such things, such as umbrellas and raincoats. "

After Qing Musong finished speaking, he looked at Furugaki Ryusaku and others and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Now no one has a problem.

Aoki Matsu didn't want to waste time, so he started with the suspects Furugaki Rinsaku, Suho Chiaki, and Kiribe Satoru.

According to scientific laws, one of these three people must be the murderer.

Aoki Matsu looked at Qingbian Dingwu and asked, "Well, you are an architect, right?"

Qingbian Dingwu replied: "Yes, I designed this mansion."

Aoki Matsu continued, "There's blood on your hands and sleeves, right?"

Qing Bian Ding Wu immediately said after hearing this: "Maybe I got blood stains when I ran to her side when Madam fell down. But, there is no blood stain anywhere else."

But this is enough to use that technique!

Qing Bian Dingwu is still suspicious.

Aoki Matsu asked again: "Did you notice anything unusual at the time of the incident?"

Qingbian Dingwu thought for a moment and said, "Thinking carefully, I seemed to hear the sound of cloth rubbing nearby. I guess the murderer might be a woman in a dress."

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, the pipe you are smoking seems to be long and pointed as well. Can we check it?"

Qing Bian Dingwu nodded and said, "Of course."

But nothing was checked out.

The second is Ms. Suho Chiaki

Facing the question, Zhou Fang Zhiqiu said angrily: "Have you had enough of the trouble? The watchmaker who passed away four years ago was my brother, so it seems to me that the motive for murder is indeed the most obvious. Although it was an accident, I don't bear a grudge against the lady."

"You designed the interior decoration of Ms. Suho's mansion. With your expertise, you should have had many opportunities to tamper with it," said Aoki Matsu.

Upon hearing this, Suho Chiaki immediately retorted: "If you say so, then the same goes for the architect Mr. Qingbian and Mr. Furugaki who built the bell. However, Mr. Furugaki, who is already old, should not be the murderer either."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately asked, "Why?"

Zhou Fang Zhiqiu explained: "Because after the criminal stabbed the lady, he ran past me from the left side very quickly, so you can see the blood on my left arm from that time."

After saying that, she stretched out her left arm to show it.

Indeed there is.

Qing Musong looked at her and asked again: "By the way, what do you put in your hair?"

Zhou Fang Zhiqiu was stunned when he heard this, and then he replied: "Oh, this is the hairpin my brother gave me a while ago."

Maruta Ayumi immediately said, "Excuse me. Can we check it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fang Zhiqiu took it off his head and handed it to Maruta Ayumi, saying, "You can check it if you want, but you must return it to me afterwards."

"Okay." Maruta Ayumi responded after taking it.

Seeing the police officer looking around with his cane, Furugaki Ryusaku curled his lips and said, "Well, this is not a movie. There is no knife hidden in here."

Aoki Matsu retracted his gaze and said, "It seems to be true. It should be you, the clockmaker who built that big clock."

Upon hearing this, Furugaki Rinzo responded, "Yes, I am Furugaki."

Qing Musong looked at him and said, "I think there is a little blood on your right shoulder."

"Huh?" Gu Yuanlun was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look at the bloodstains on his suit before saying, "Because at the time of the incident, the woman seemed to have been stabbed to my right."

Mao Lilan said at this time: "This cane looks very old. Have you been using it for a long time?"

Furugaki Ryusaku replied: "Yes, he was a special gift given to me by the watchmaker mentioned earlier ten years ago. Believe it or not, I personally think the murderer should be a fat man."

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Maori Kogoro and Conan were also surprised "Huh?"

Furugaki Junsaku explained: "Because I was squeezed by that woman before she screamed. She is a soft and elastic person."

Aoki Matsu heard this and thought, "The murderer should have approached Mrs. Hoshina at that time. In such a short time, those three people are the most likely suspects! The one who squeezed Mr. Furugaki should be the murderer. As for the 'soft and elastic', it is possible that he is not a fat man, but has something hidden under his belly, such as an umbrella weapon. 】

After interrogating the three most suspicious people, in fact, if it is not the "classic three-choice", there is another person who is also very suspicious, and that is Qingmei Yuedao.

He also had the opportunity to kill Mrs. Bao Ke.

Although he has no motive now, regardless of that, he does have the opportunity to take action.

So Aoki Matsu personally interrogated Qingmei Yuedao.

"Mr. Qingmei, we have found your fingerprints on the knife that has been placed next to the cake." Qingmu Song looked at Qingmei Yuedao and said

Qingmei Yuedao replied: "Of course, as a housekeeper, cutting the cake is my job, isn't it?"

Conan suddenly interrupted at this time and said, "Mr. Qingmei, it seems that the lights were not turned on immediately after the candles on the birthday cake went out. Why?"

Qing Mei Yuedao replied, "Because Madam didn't tell me to turn on the light. Every time the candle went out, the clock at home would immediately ring six o'clock. Madam would then use her finger to indicate that I could turn on the light, and then I would turn on the light."

Mao Lilan was stunned when she heard this, and then she subconsciously said, "But the bell didn't seem to ring immediately at that time."

Qing Meiyue replied, "Yes, there were three watchmakers guarding the clock that was prone to running slow. If that was the case, all the clocks should have run on time."

Maori Kogoro walked up to Qingmei Yuemichi at this time and asked viciously: "Then let me ask you, you should have been standing next to someone else at that time, why was there no blood on your body?"

Qingmei Yuedao replied: "I think the murderer must be a big guy, so the lady's blood didn't splash on me."

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly when he heard this, "Huh."

Maruta Ayumi asked in confusion: "The murderer seems to be wearing a formal dress, is very agile, tall and a little fat. Is there such a person among the guests today?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu instructed Maruta Ayumi, "I'll leave this matter to you and Aihara. The remaining guests will also be interrogated by the two of you."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

Then Aoki Matsu left the temporary "interrogation room".

It was unlikely that the other guests were the murderer, so there was no need for Aoki Matsu to interrogate them personally.

He came to the window in the hall and asked the forensic detective, "Have you found any new clues?"

"Inspector, no new clues have been discovered, and the murder weapon has not been found either," the detective from the Forensic Science Division replied.

After a while, Maruta Ayumi came over and reported to Aoki Matsu, "Inspector, there were 65 people who did not attend the banquet. We checked them all and did not find anyone like that. Also, no guest had any items similar to the murder weapon.

By the way, there was no trace of blood on the belongings of the four people afterwards. This means that just as the threatening letter said, the murderer used an invisible sword to commit the murder.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong said, "I don't believe in the existence of an invisible sword."

Aoki Matsu is also someone who has watched quite a few mystery dramas and detective novels.

There are actually only three possibilities for the lack of a murder weapon: First, the murderer's method of committing the crime is very special, and the police and detectives have not found it yet. Second, the murder weapon is wrongly inferred. For example, an ice skate, the murder weapon melted, where can you find it? However, if it is an ice skate, the wound marks will be different. The third is a special case.

There are two types of modified guns. One is an air gun, where the air is the bullet, and you can't find it after it's fired. The other is a special bullet, made of bone, and then fired with a special gun. After the bone bullet enters the human body, the person doing the autopsy may assume that the bone bullet is the victim's bone fragments, so the bullet cannot be found.

Judging from the current case, it should obviously be the first one.

Moreover, what the murderer wanted to hide was not only the murder weapon, but also something to cover the bloodstains on his body. That thing was most likely an umbrella or a raincoat.

But no matter what it is, it's still quite large to cover a person.

In such a short time, and in the dark, you have to carefully collect and hide it, and you can't get yourself stained with blood. This is too difficult.

If it were Aoki Matsu, he would definitely not design such a difficult method.

Moreover, there were blood stains on the balcony railings and window frames, indicating that something bloody had "passed" there at that time.

In such a short time, Aoki Matsu didn't think that the murderer would run back and forth with the "thing". After the window was opened, Mao Li Ran kept staring at that place and didn't see anyone.

It is also unlikely that Mrs. Bao Ke's blood was used to smear the wound before her death, because apart from the fatal wound, there were no other wounds on Mrs. Bao Ke's body, not even any cuts caused by a knife.

Therefore, those "things" would definitely "pass by" there only after Mrs. Bao Ke's death.

Qing Musong wrote down all the evidence and clues he found, as well as his own guesses in a small notebook.

Lock in the "ironclad evidence" that cannot be changed, so that there is only one solution to the problem.
