Furuya Rei: The sun falls into the arms of the moon

Amuro Toru picked up the rope and turned to look at the people behind him, "Can you ask Lingzi, who looks the weakest, to help me pull down the rope?"

Lingzi sighed, "Well, it's time to pull it."

Lingzi stood up and walked down, "I'll give it a try."

With a gentle pull of the feather, Officer Takagi moved upwards and was hung up.

Toru Amuro took the rope from her hand and pulled it himself. Although he didn't use much force, he still wanted to avoid letting her get tired.

Lingzi sat down naturally.

Inspector Megure looked at Amuro Toru, "What on earth is going on?"

"It's the principle of the pulley, isn't it?"

Okiya Subaru walked down. This person always targeted him.

"Yes, the small loop made in the middle of the rope can act as a pulley, so each added pulley can pull the rope with twice, four times, or eight times the force respectively."

"After all, this is not actually a pulley, but a rope loop, so under the influence of friction, the pulling force will not reach eight times. But if a light and smooth rope is used, even Miss Lingzi can pull up Officer Takagi."

"In other words, the murderer doesn't need any accomplices. He can hang Mr. Porto all by himself."

"Also, this knot is called a native knot, and it is a rope tying method used by freight companies to secure cargo in trucks. In other words, the most suspicious person who hanged Mr. Hatuo is Mr. Hatuo's agent, who claimed to have worked at a freight company when he was young."

"Ms. Madoka Kanae, it's you. I think what I said is correct."

Inspector Megure stood on the stage. "But now that the person is hanging, how can we tie the rope to the audience seats?"

Amuro Toru lowered his head and said, "This is very simple."

Inspector Megure looked at Amuro Toru, "Hmm?"

"After the person is hung up, tie one end of the rope to the nearest audience seat to temporarily secure it. And insert the wire into the position of the hanging rope."

Toru Amuro continued the demonstration by pulling the rope and walked to the other side.

"Just use the wire to secure the hanging rope, then untie the excess rope, tie it back to the audience seats, and finally pull out the wire."

"This native knot has an advantage, that is, it does not need to be tied at any part. So it is very easy to dismantle, but if it is a brand new rope, there will be traces of this knot tied on it."

"So the murderer tied the rope back to the audience seats, and then used the box cutter in the tool box to cut off the excess rope. He then tied that section of rope into a bundle and placed it on the side of the stage with the tool box."

"That should be correct, Miss Yuancheng."

"Hey, even if she used to work in the trucking industry, you can't conclude that she is the murderer just based on that."

"It's based on the size of the foot."

Conan looked up at them.

"foot?"

"People who work in the freight industry usually wrap the ropes together like this and tie them into a bundle. The inner diameter of the bundle is roughly equivalent to the size of the rope tying person's foot."

"Because the length of a person's elbow to wrist is the size of that person's foot."

"The rope left at the scene was also made of a foot of Sister Xiaolan, which is about the same size. That's why we think that the rope might have been tied by the petite agent."

"I see. So after 17 years, the love that the beautiful agent had for Botu has turned into hatred, right?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. We haven't confirmed that she did it, right?"

"Pupil dilation film."

"Since you are my agent, you should have noticed that Mr. Hatano wears pupil dilating lenses to make his eyes look bigger and brighter."

"Yes, it is."

"After comparing the photo on Mr. Hatano's driver's license with the photo taken today by the magazine reporter uncle, even I can see it."

"One of the pupil dilating pieces is stuck to your back, Miss Agent."

"what?"

“This is it?”

"Would it be convenient for me to take a look?" Inspector Megure walked over and looked at the dilated pupils behind Miss Madoka.

"Ok."

"I see. It must have fallen on your clothes when I was hanging him up, unlucky."

"Now we have irrefutable evidence. All that's left is to go to the police station and talk about it."

"Wait a minute. Did you really do this?"

"You have supported him for 17 years. Why do you have to kill him now? Please answer me."

Amuro Toru walked over holding Lingzi's hand and said, "No matter how many times you ask her, she won't be able to answer you."

"Why? Because she didn't kill Mr. Porto at all."

Lingzi nodded, that's right.

Inspector Megure looked at Amuro Toru, "What does this mean?"

"As for the other pupil dilation piece, guess where it is?"

"It was stuck to the back of the cushion of the folding chair placed on the side of the stage. In other words, the chair was originally lying at the feet of the hanged corpse."

"Let me explain a little more about the baseball with the kite string tied to it. The baseball was made by tying the other end of the kite string to the front end of the rope, and then throwing the ball out so that the kite string passes over the iron bars on the ceiling."

"Then pull the kite string so that the rope can also go around the iron bar. Excuse me, but I don't think Miss Yuancheng can throw the ball high enough to go over the iron bar."

"But if it's Mr. Hatano who was a baseball player in high school, then it's another story. Add to that the handwritten note in Mr. Hatano's breast pocket. It should be clear now."

"Could it be him?"

"Yes, he hanged himself, and Miss Yuancheng found him and disguised it as a homicide."

"Hey, why did you hide the fact that he committed suicide? Something really happened 17 years ago, right?"

"Could it be that he is still brooding over what he said before?"

“That thing refers to…”

"In fact, 17 years ago, she was pregnant with Botu's child."

"Mr. Busch!"

"At that time, Botu had just debuted and claimed that he was doing it for his unborn child, so he locked himself in the recording studio and kept composing music."

"He worked late every day, and we were all worried that he would die young. Miss Yuancheng, who came to stop him, fainted in front of the recording studio and lost the baby in her belly."

"So Ms. Madoka is in the hospital. Please, I asked you to keep it a secret and not tell Boto about this."

Subaru Okiya came over and said, "I see. ASACA was a song I wrote for my unborn child at that time, so I never wrote the lyrics for it and it has been sealed for 17 years."

"After learning what happened, he felt extremely guilty, so he wrote lyrics for the child and prepared to release it as a new song. However, he just couldn't write the lyrics. He could only say sorry and choose to die, right?"

Officer Megure looked at her, "But why do you have to disguise this as homicide?"

"He actually chose to commit suicide because of his ex-girlfriend's child. If his family knew about this, how could I face them? That's why I took the phone with the message he sent before his death, which said goodbye, out of his pocket."

"Hang him up high again."

"Even if he died, he wanted to make a woman cry. What a stupid man."

"Please, don't write this into a report."

"I have been following the news about Poland and Turkey for several years, day after day, day and night, trying hard to find material for the report, but I didn't expect that the big news I finally dug up would turn out to be a big scandal in Poland and Turkey."

"please."

"I beg you."

"I always thought I knew Botu better than anyone else."

"I won't write it even if you beg me to."

"Because rock musicians and the Flower Festival don't fit in at all."

Lingzi tilted her head and pursed her lips, and this was the result.

Toru Amuro hugged Lingzi a little tighter. This case was a little scary.

After the outcome of the case was known, everyone left one after another.
