In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 172 Expected Reasoning (22)

When the inspector of Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters first received the call to dispatch the police, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Just one day later.

A dead body appeared again in the hot spring hotel where a murder had just occurred.

What's more, the murderer actually chose a hot spring pool to dump the body.

After arriving at Kosenan, the Inspector met again the elementary school student Conan, whom he had just met a day ago, and the artist Akikawa Sorasuke.

"This hotel is now abandoned. Who will dare to take a bath here in the future?"

The inspector thought to himself, then came to Akikawa Sousuke and Conan and asked about the situation again.

Perhaps because of the time he spent waiting for the police to arrive, Akikawa Sosuke had calmed down.

Conan found that when Akikawa Sosuke recounted what happened to the police this time, his articulation was much more fluent than before.

only.

After hearing Akikawa Sosuke's description, the deputy inspector and several police officers he met yesterday

Inevitably, there was a hint of suspicion in the eyes that looked at Akikawa Sosuke.

After all, the first witness to the body in yesterday's case was one of the murderers.

Akikawa Sosuke and Conan began to lead the Kanagawa Prefecture detectives to the men's hot spring area.

Thanks to yesterday's case, Akikawa Sosuke successfully managed to escape the cautious gazes of the surrounding detectives, who were looking at him as if he were a criminal.

Conan also saw that after receiving such "special treatment", Akikawa Sorasuke once again cast an extremely resentful look at him.

For a moment, Conan, who was extremely embarrassed, covered his face with his hands.

Since he was just a child, he definitely didn't have the strength to dismember the body, so he was naturally not a suspect.

Although Akikawa Sosuke is thin, he is an adult after all, and cannot avoid being suspected.

Thinking of this, Conan inexplicably felt apologetic towards Akikawa Sorasuke.

This poor artist who had been unlucky all his life seemed to be living a worse life after meeting me than when he was under house arrest by his mother.

"Mr. Akikawa, these things really have nothing to do with me!"

"You are just unlucky, don't blame me! ! "

Conan couldn't help but shout loudly in his heart.

At the same time, he swore in his heart that after this time, he would never meet Akikawa Sosuke again.

This is too embarrassing!

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Conan who covered his face with his hands and snorted in his heart.

"After this, the Shinigami Elementary School Student will probably stay away from me."

soon.

Akikawa Sosuke and his group entered the men's hot spring area.

Everyone immediately saw the black bag that was dragged ashore by Akikawa Sosuke.

The inspector noticed that after seeing the bag, Akikawa Sosuke suddenly showed a very resistant expression.

"If Akikawa was the murderer, he wouldn't have acted so scared."

The inspector looked at Akikawa Sorasuke's reaction, and his suspicion of him was reduced a lot in an instant.

He then called a subordinate detective and the two of them walked forward together.

Even the detectives who face criminal cases every day were shocked when they opened the bag and saw what was inside.
Inevitably, there was a churning feeling in my stomach.

“Is this the only bag?”

The inspector turned around with an unpleasant look on his face and looked at Akikawa Sorasuke.

Then Akikawa Sosuke nodded and pointed to the pond beside him.

“That’s where the bag was found.”

So the inspector hurriedly asked the staff of Kosenan to stop the device that was filling the bottom of the pool with carbon dioxide.

After the fine bubbles dissipated, he saw that there were several bags densely packed at the bottom of the pool.

Akikawa Sosuke's guess was once again fulfilled.

Sure enough, the decomposed remains of the body were hidden at the bottom of the pool.

The inspector sent another person to salvage the bag at the bottom of the pool. At the same time, Akikawa Sosuke noticed that Conan, who was standing by, also had a thoughtful expression after seeing this scene.

"It seems that the Shinigami Elementary School student also became suspicious because the first bag floated on the water."

'He should be able to quickly figure out the mental state of the dismemberer when he dumped the body, and infer from that that the dismemberment scene and the dismemberer were both inside this hotel.'

"But now that Professor Agasa is not here, how can the Shinigami Elementary School Student carry out his deductions?"

Just as Akikawa Sosuke's curiosity was rising, he heard a familiar and artificial voice:
"Ah, that's weird."

Akikawa Sosuke turned his head and looked at Conan, and then heard Conan whisper to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Brother Qiuchuan, when we found the first bag just now, it was floating on the water, right?"

"But why did the remaining bags sink to the bottom of the water?"

"Yeah, why?"

Akikawa Sosuke also put on a thoughtful expression and asked in confusion.

"And I seemed to have seen corpse spots at the bottom of the body just now, and when Brother Qiuchuan threw away the bag, the location of the corpse spots didn't seem to change."

"Eh~~"

Akikawa Sosuke showed a surprised expression.

It was the first time he heard of such a thing.

Conan looked at Akikawa Sosuke's reaction, and his mouth twitched, and he continued:

"This shows that the corpse spots have been fixed."

"Based on the water temperature in the hot spring and the state of the corpse, the deceased should have been dead for more than 10 hours."

"This time should not be enough for the body to produce gas and make the bag float."

"Is that so!"

Akikawa Sosuke's eyes widened.

Conan continued in a low voice:

"I heard from Brother Shinichi before that in this case the bag would float up, either because the body was decomposing and releasing gas, or because there was a lot of air in the bag."

"Since the gas released by the corpse at this time is not enough to make the bag float, it means that there was air in the bag originally."

"This means that the murderer did not check carefully when putting the dismembered body into the bag, causing air to be accidentally sealed into the bag, which eventually caused the bag to float."

"It shows the murderer's psychological state at the time—"

When Conan said this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I have already fed the answer to you. If you tell me the answer, the police will seal off the entire hotel and search the rooms to find the murderer and the crime scene."

Conan thought to himself.

I have already provided enough hints to Akikawa Sosuke.

Anyone with normal intelligence would be able to guess that the murderer must have been very panicked when he dismembered and disposed of the body.

Conan couldn't go and alert the police directly, so he hoped that Akikawa Sorasuke could deduce the truth based on his hints and then tell the police.

Then he met the artist in front of him, and as he told his story,
An expression of admiration appeared on that pretty face, and the deep blue eyes looked at him expectantly, and asked him curiously:
"How's your mental state?!"

This look.

This expression was very similar to the one he had when he first saw the great detective Sherlock Holmes on TV and was about to deduce the truth of the case using profound knowledge that he could not understand at all.

Don't even mention giving the answer based on your own reasoning.

It seemed that Akikawa Sosuke was still waiting for him to continue reasoning.

"Oh my god! What's that expression on your face? You should be the one doing the reasoning, okay? ! "

"If it were Sonoko, she would have figured it out by now, right? Are you still waiting for me to give you the answer? ! "

"This Qiuchuan is so stupid that he will still drool even if he is cured!"

Conan roared wildly in his heart, and couldn't help but cover his face with his hands again.

And he resisted the urge to shoot Akikawa Sosuke with an anesthetic needle.
