The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 4 Reasoning about Suicide

"How is that possible? Yoko has been with me the whole day. He has no time to kill anyone." Yamagishi Eiichir quickly explained.

"Just tell me, Officer Megure, Miss Yoko is so cute, how could she kill someone? I think it must be Yamagishi Eiichi. He knew the relationship between Miss Yoko and the victim, and in order to conceal it, he killed the victim." Kogoro Mouri also hurriedly defended Okino Yoko.

Inspector Megure was confused after hearing this. What does "so cute, but won't kill anyone" mean?

"Brother Mori, shut up!" Inspector Megure shouted at Kogoro Mori.

What is Bai Ma Song doing at this time?

"Detective Takagi, go check the list of visitors to the apartment today." Bai Masong first asked the tool officer Takagi to go out.

"Okay, Inspector Hakuba," Officer Takagi replied.

Then, Bai Masong personally checked the entire house. He really didn't believe in the ability of the forensic department.

Bai Masong still had some impression of this case. After all, it was a very classic case at the beginning. But what puzzled him most was how these policemen could not even distinguish between suicide and homicide.

It’s not that it’s easy to distinguish between suicide and homicide, it’s just that it’s easy in this case.

Soon, Bai Masong found a lady's earring under the sofa and a hair in the corpse's hand.

After his warning to Conan, Yamagishi Eiichi didn't dare to touch the corpse casually, so the hair is still there.

He picked up the earring with his gloved hand and held it in front of Inspector Megure.

"Officer Megure, I found an earring under the sofa." said Hakumasong.

As he said this, he glanced at the forensic police officers around him.

The body identification was not done well, no hair was visible and no earrings were found. These old hands in the forensic department are really messed up.

Bai Masong can actually understand that, after all, it is difficult to get promoted in the forensic course, and generally people will not be expelled. So, if you do it well, it's one day, and if you don't do it well, it's one day, so why bother yourself?

It’s just that although he can understand it, he really looks down on it. Bai Masong decided that he must find an opportunity to give them a good beating.

After hearing what Bai Masong said and looking at the earrings, Okino Yoko immediately exclaimed, "This earring belongs to Miss Ikezawa Yuko!"

"Yes," Bai Masong nodded, "Sato, go and bring this Miss Ikezawa Yuko back."

"Yes." Sato Miwako replied.

Not long after, Miwako Sato came back with Yuko Ikezawa.

As soon as Yuko Ikezawa came in, she picked up the lighter in the living room and lit a cigarette as if nothing had happened.

"Huh." She let out a breath.

"Officers, what do you want me for?"

After she finished speaking, she looked up and met Bai Masong's cold eyes.

"Ms. Ikezawa Yuko, we called you here because we have evidence. If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely!" Bai Masong stared at her and said coldly.

Ikezawa Yuko swallowed her saliva. She felt as if she was in an icy cave, as if the policeman would shoot her if she didn't tell him.

She has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and has seen a lot of things, big and small. This cold-blooded police officer is obviously from a prominent family, so she'd better cooperate with him.

"No, no, no, officer, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I just secretly took the key and came here several times to search for any dirt on Yoko Okino. This time, this man saw me and suddenly rushed over to attack me, saying all sorts of nonsense. Then I broke free from him and ran away. I really didn't do anything." Yuko Ikezawa said hurriedly.

Bai Basong nodded to Ikezawa Yuko to indicate that he understood.

Then, he said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector, I already know the details of this case."

"What?" Officer Megure exclaimed, "Brother Hakuba, are you saying that you already know who the murderer is?"

Conan stood aside and felt incredible.

"This police officer actually already knows the murderer? But, I still feel like there's something missing."

Then I comforted myself

"No, this officer got the evidence faster than me, so it's normal for him to be able to deduce it."

Bai Masong did not notice Conan's abnormality, and continued: "To be precise, this is a suicide case."

"What!?" Everyone present cried out in disbelief.

Bai Masong walked forward, pointed at the knife on the dead man's back and said, "Officer Megure, look at this knife, does it feel a little strange?"

"Strange?" Officer Megure said puzzledly, "No, he was killed with one blow, stabbed into the heart, a clean and sharp blow."

As a former detective with high fighting skills, Kogoro Mouri did discover some problems.

"The angle of the knife seems a bit strange."

"Yeah," Bai Masong nodded, "Detective Maori is right. Everyone, generally speaking, when we stab with a knife, there are two types: forehand and backhand."

As he spoke, Bai Masong drew a picture with his pen. "Normally, a forehand stab is from bottom to top, and a backhand stab is from top to bottom. But the one on the deceased was inserted straight in, which is different from both."

"To create this angle, you can only hold your hands on your lower abdomen and thrust straight in. Or you can hold it high above your head and thrust straight forward. Or you can hold the knife in your backhand and stab it out with your arm sweeping horizontally."

"I believe everyone has noticed that these are not normal stabbing methods. Moreover, the deceased Fujie Akiyoshi was 187cm tall and had a strong physique. He did not have any combat injuries on his body. A normal person would want to kill him without leaving any traces and would want to do it as quickly and easily as possible. Why would they use these redundant and useless postures?"

"Of course, it is also possible that he had knocked the victim unconscious beforehand, but look, there is still a strand of hair in the victim's hand."

Bai Masong pried open the dead man's hand and revealed a hair inside.

"If the victim was knocked unconscious beforehand, given that the knife went straight into the heart and the victim was broad-shouldered and short-armed, it would have been impossible for the victim to get the hair, let alone keep it in the hands of the murderer."

"So, I presume that the deceased committed suicide."

After Bai Masong finished explaining his reasoning in one breath, he found that everyone around him was stunned.

It was as if everyone was in high school and saw a usually aloof academic master talking eloquently about the final math problem in class.

The forensic officers around them wanted to take out their notebooks to take notes. After all, they usually just took pictures of the crime scene, kept some photos, and analyzed the corpses. They didn't know how to do that.

Bai Ma Song continued.

"As for the method of suicide, it was also very simple. He used a piece of ice to fix the dagger and positioned it so that the victim would stand on the chair and fall down, and the knife would directly pierce his heart. Then he turned on the heater, raised the temperature, and waited for the ice to melt."
