Conan looked at the shotgun, then the wounds on the body. Then he squatted down and sniffed the smell around the shotgun.
A unique breath of gunpowder hits my face.
"It seems that this is the weapon that killed the shopkeeper." Confirmed that the weapon was the hunting rifle that the middle-aged shopkeeper had just taken out, Conan touched his chin and turned around to look at the other three clerks in the cafe, his eyes full of suspicion.
——A hunter will not let go of his gun easily, and there is no trace of fighting on the deceased, and he dies very peacefully and neatly. It can be seen that the murderer must be his acquaintance, who is so familiar that he can help him get a gun, and it is likely among these three people.
...
This time the crime scene was in the mountains. After waiting longer than before, Otaki police station finally drove here.
There were many other police cars and ambulances who came to the scene.
The medical staff who arrived with the car came down and took a look, then shook their heads very decisively and left.
"Accident?"
The Otaki police department heard this word from the clerks, looked at the many detectives present, and looked suspicious: "Are you sure?"
The old farmer nodded and sighed: "There are many customers coming today. The store manager wants to go into the mountain to kill a wild boar, but...ah, he must have been scared by the flying eagle, so his gun went fire and hit him."
Otaki police department scratched his head in confusion: "But isn't this the eagle in your store? Will he be so scared by the eagle he has been with for many years?"
The store manager's wife remembered something and looked at the Li-Finged Eagle hesitantly: "It looks a bit strange today, and she has been restless. When the gunfire sounded just now, I vaguely saw it flying and shouting here. Could it be..."
The eagle trainer listened to the wrong words and retorted afterwards: "My eagle will never attack humans! Not to mention that it has been trained for many years, even if it is an eagle in the wild, it will only hide from people when it encounters people!"
The store manager's wife knew the habit of the eagle: "Can it be because the gun of the hunting rifle was accidentally pointed at it, it was frightened, so..."
The face of the trainer looked ugly.
Indeed, with the sensitivity of the eagle, let alone the barrel, they will feel very uneasy even if they only point one finger at it... But his eagle will never be able to kill people!
Jiang Xia looked at the unlucky Lu Ying who had shrunk into a furry and said, "With such a long barrel, even if it goes fire, it will be difficult for the deceased to hit his chest with one shot."
Conan also felt that the eagle was a little innocent: "It did suddenly change its direction just now, but I felt like it was tripped by something than changing its route to attack humans. And at that time, I felt that there was a strange reflection in this area."
If you are just an ordinary child, this passage may not attract attention.
But as an acquaintance of high school students, Otaki Police Department knew very well that this was not an ordinary child. This first-grade elementary school student wearing glasses was a super detective embryo that had grown a lot of knowledge by following Jiang Xia for many years.
He immediately took the clue and asked the forensics person: "Is there anything glowing around here?"
Several technicians scratched their heads in a daze: "I didn't see it... Could it be the light reflected from the barrel of the shotgun?"
Conan shook his head firmly: "The reflection I mentioned is hung in the air and very thin."
Police officers in the forensic department: "..." This child is not dreaming.
...
The evidence mentioned by Conan is unverified, and the statement that the eagle harmed people was temporarily ruled out because the police could hardly imagine how the hunting gun would fire to hit his chest, and the investigation was temporarily stagnant.
Jiang Xia seemed to remember something and said to Otaki Police Department: "I think it's more like someone taking away the shotgun of the deceased by some means and then shooting him, which eventually led to his death.
"Although strangers have low chances of committing crimes, it cannot be ruled out that the deceased thought the hunting rifle was too heavy and put it on the ground, and then took advantage of it - it's better to search around the woods. If you can find the hidden murderer, it will be simple."
"It makes sense." I was idle and idle. Otaki police department immediately arranged work for their subordinates who had no work and asked them to search nearby for people.
The police scattered around, and Conan naturally couldn't rest. He found a direction and started strolling all over the place.
After walking a few steps, the fake elementary school student's ears moved slightly, and suddenly felt the sound of footsteps behind him.
"?!" Conan was shocked and turned around suddenly... and then he saw that it was Jiang Xia who followed him.
Conan: "…"
A false alarm, he relaxed, and then he was a little confused: "What are you doing with me?"
Jiang Xia: "..." Of course, I'm looking at you a little, so as not to pull out the carefully hidden sniper rifle again.
It’s not that I want that gun, but I’m a little unbeliever. Can I find all the illegal items from the crime scene every time?
If this is not the case, that is certainly good. If so... Then you can add another comment to the "Kudo Shinichi Instruction Manual".
Conan didn't know what his classmates were thinking, but when he remembered Jiang Xia asked Otaki police station to search for the mountain just now, Conan seemed to understand something.
He couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Don't worry, even if the murderer is really someone else, that guy must have run away. It's impossible for him to stay here and wait for the police to catch him. I won't run into him."
Jiang Xia nodded and advised thoughtfully: "That's the case, but running around in this kind of wood is still too dangerous - since the suspect is more likely to be among the three clerks, we might as well go back to the cafe to find more clues."
It sounds quite reasonable.
Conan glanced at the forest, thought about walking back with Jiang Xia.
...
The other three clerks had already returned to the cafe and waited for news under the persuasion of the police.
As soon as Jiang Xia and Conan arrived in the yard, they suddenly heard someone talking.
The two looked at each other and walked to the corridor lightly. They saw the hawk trainer apologizing to the store manager sitting in the room: "I know no matter how I apologize, Mr. Takehara will not come back, but please accept my apology. In addition, the child definitely did not intend to attack him, it may just, just..."
The store manager looked at him at a loss and wiped his tears: "No need to do this. Of course I know that none of you did it on purpose. No one wanted this to happen. It was just a tragic accident."
She sat down at the side, looked at the hawk trainer and the old farmer opposite, and said to the two colleagues who had been with the cafe for many years: "So there is no need to blame yourself or blame the eagles."
The eagle trainer didn't expect that the miser's wife was so easy to talk to, and he suddenly became even more guilty: "But..."
