Conan: The Mechanic

"Although she pleaded guilty, the whole process is still quite weird," Yusaku Kudo said, looking at the police officer Shiratori who was sitting across from him. "Because the problem is that although we found a maintenance backup pipeline from the basement of the mental hospital to the basement of the library, is it a little too reluctant for a woman like that to do the killing job?"

If Chiba's description of the crime scene is correct, the deceased was alive until the fire burned. Considering the fact that the members of the Boy Detective Team heard the collision of the plate armor wearer's foot armor, the other party may have been wearing heavy plate armor throughout the crime. Different from ordinary light armor, plate armor is connected by a large number of complex connection mechanisms. It is difficult for one person to complete the wearing procedure. Ancient knights generally needed the help of one or more assistants to do it. So the whole case contains at least the murderer who wore the plate armor and the facilitator who put on the plate armor for him.

There are two parts of the entire crime that require strength, one part is wearing plate armor for a long time, and the other part is pressing the body against the wall and lifting it up. The former requires sufficient endurance and certain strength, while the latter requires sufficient instantaneous strength. For those who have the strength to wear plate armor that is not necessary for killing for a long time, it is not too difficult to lift the corpse in a short time. just up. (Lifting a person mainly requires arm strength, and only a small part of the weight of the plate armor will be borne by the arms, so it has little impact.)

But if this is the case, there is a problem with Nviah's company, because the crime that Nviah confessed is the one who killed the demon, that is, the identity of the murderer, so her strength should be better than that of her helper, otherwise she wears heavy plate armor. The person should be the facilitator and not Neviah.

So, if Nviah's confession is true, then she must have the power to lift the body up.

But for such a weak woman, is it too difficult to lift an adult man? Although it is impossible to determine the specific weight, if it is estimated based on the rather high height of the bones before death, as long as the other party is not really too thin, the weight will inevitably exceed 60 kg or even 70 kg...

Wait a minute, is there something... not quite right in what I thought of just now?

Yusaku Kudo's eyes were slightly confused, but then suddenly became clear.

……

After school, on a bus.

"It's fine if you come on your own, why did you pull me together..." Qian Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, complaining about Conan like this.

"Dad asked you to come, and I can't help it - say what is it that he has already cracked the technical content of the entire case, let's come and practice together, and by the way, let's see if there is any room to check the gaps." Conan sighed. tone. "But I think he may have encountered problems. This time he specifically explained the scope of [technical problems]. Maybe he just found the murderer, but there is a lack of evidence and the like."

"Then what can we do?" Qianyu pouted. "Before on the Pearl Tree airship, his overwhelming dominance over Kaito Kidd was exaggerated to such an extent. If it's something he can't even consider, we..."

"It may also be that we are planning to exercise, maybe—" Having said this, Conan also showed a thoughtful expression. "Obviously I'm... Wait a minute, aren't you the illegitimate child my father had with a woman somewhere when he was young?"

"Hello!?" Qianyu complained dissatisfiedly.

Forty minutes later, the Medieval Museum.

"You are here?" Kudo Yusaku said with a smile, looking at the two children in front of him. "Okay, I will follow you and tell you the results when you want to know the results of a certain test. Just take a good look at the traces at the scene, it should be enough for you to complete the reasoning and find the murderer."

"Go to the scene now?" Conan was stunned. "Will it not affect subsequent evidence collection?"

"The case has been solved," Kudo Yusaku stared into Conan's eyes. "Just ten minutes ago, we used the test results to get the prisoner to plead guilty."

The result that came out ten minutes ago, that is to say, it is definitely not the trace forensics result of conventional objects, but the detection result of some unorthodox sample.

"Oh right," Kudo Yusaku said suddenly to Chiba with a little apology. "I hope you can understand that if you and Conan are not on the same track, I will definitely follow him first, but if you want to ask any questions, you can text me - you have a cell phone, right?"

……

"Is this woman's testimony unreliable?" Conan looked at the transcript and pouted. "A mentally ill person, if someone hypnotizes her a little, she will take those things seriously. And as far as this composition is concerned, it is not appropriate to use Longinus to kill Jesus, right? Personally, I definitely prefer... …I remember there seems to be a famous painting of a sword piercing the throat called…”

"Heavenly Punishment, you're referring to that picture, right?" Kudo Yusaku replied immediately. "You're right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If Chiba's memory is correct, it is indeed very similar to this painting."

"Yeah, this picture is definitely more appropriate." Conan nodded. "Using the picture of Longinus, there is a somewhat unintelligible feeling, it seems very blunt."

Yusaku Kudo just shrugged, but said nothing.

"Dad, can you give me a hint?" Conan looked at Kudo Yusaku without any expression, and said dissatisfied. "Could it be that the next process is to find such a far-fetched evidence of the possibility of murder... Wait a minute, what are the identification results of that painting?"

If the purpose is not to prove such a possibility, then the possibility of her being a murderer must be falsified first. And the reason for all eyes on Neviah at the moment rests in that painting.

But if the painting was not actually drawn by the mentally ill lady herself, but someone else had used a method similar to hypnosis to confuse the mentally ill lady to recognize it, then this evidence would be immediately overturned.

"Great job," Kudo Yusaku nodded with a smile. "As for the identification results, the paint composition used is not the same as the paint that Miss Nviah usually uses, so it can be considered that this is not painted by Miss Nviah herself. If so, who is the murderer?"

"Check everyone's paint, especially starting with normal people?" Conan put forward his own idea. "After all, it would be too much for a mentally ill person to frame other mentally ill..."

"A particularly strong flat-chested woman, I think this kind of person is more suspicious." At this moment, Qian Yu's voice sounded.

Saying so, he took the photocopy of the plate armor worn by the prisoner that he had drawn for Yuu Kudo earlier.
