I'm making soy sauce in the detective world

The main focus of Xiaotiangushan is the original ecology.

Therefore, on this mountain, except for the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, the observation deck at the top of the mountain, and the hiking trail connecting the two, there are basically no signs of human beings.

Even the trees were allowed to grow freely, which caused the paths under the feet of Guangyou to bend and twist, and they had to turn a few steps.

After several people walked along the path for a few minutes, Guangyou found that they seemed to have reached the end of the forest.

His gaze passed through the gap between the trees, and what he saw was not a thick tree, but the boundless sky.

"There may be a cliff ahead, be careful, don't step on the air and fall."

With that, Guangyou pulled Xiao Ai behind him. In this case, if it really hits a landslide or stepped on the ground, it is him who fell, not Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai naturally knew Guangyou's mind to do this, and she noticed that this was Guangyou's subconscious behavior.

This feeling of being protected is really good...

"Don't be so careful, there is a road ahead." Conan pushed aside the bushes, and a road for two people to walk side by side was shown in front of them.

Looking from the direction of this road, there was a tree with a crooked neck growing tenaciously on the edge of the cliff.

"The tree I saw before." Conan recalled and nodded. "The crime scene is right under the tree."

"Okay, don't stand here stupidly, just go over and talk."

When Conan was thinking about things, Guangyou and Xiao Ai had already passed him and came to the tree.

The tree in front of me was not sturdy due to lack of nutrition. Compared with the trees in the woods not far away, it was like the difference between Yuanta and Conan's body.

"Guangyou, look at the trunk." Xiao Ai squeezed Guangyou's hand and said, "There are so many holes on it, it looks like...shoe spikes."

Hearing this, Guangyou lowered his head and observed it carefully. Indeed, as Xiao Ai said, he found many holes in the trunk with a diameter less than five millimeters.

These pores are almost equally spaced and arranged in an orderly manner. They are certainly not naturally occurring.

And this place is remote, if he didn't happen to find the trail, he wouldn't be able to find it, so he ruled out the possibility of tourists pranking.

If you only look at the outermost circle, you can easily see that it is a shoe shape.

This is also the case, Xiao Ai said that these holes are signs of studs remaining on them.

"If you climb to this tree, you can indeed climb to the observation deck by rope."

Thinking of this, Guangyou raised his head and glanced in the direction of the observation deck, only to see the dazzling metallic luster reflected from the cliff wall under the sunlight.

Before Guangyou could speak, Conan who followed behind said in surprise, "Mountaineer spikes and iron locks? How come there are such things here?"

"Do you think people go on a swing?"

After hearing Conan’s words, Guangyou couldn’t help but vomit, “I guess the murderer installed the climbing spikes first, and then he tied one end of the rope to the tree and the other to the climbing spikes, and then he Climbed up the rope and attacked the dead."

This reasoning sounds very reasonable at first glance, but after a careful thought, there is a fatal loophole.

"I don't agree with this statement." Conan mused. "If you say, there should be no spider silk on the dead, but I found it in the dead."

"Besides, do you remember the scene at that time? The deceased did not resist at all as if he had jumped down by himself."

When Conan mentioned this, Guangyou also remembered that the deceased did not resist. Not only that, the deceased did not even shout.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of a soft and sweet bird cry.

"~"

Following the sound, Guangyou found two small birds on this crooked neck tree.

The distance was a little far away, and he couldn't see very clearly. He only knew that the body length of these two birds was definitely not more than 150 millimeters, and there were obvious white circles around the eyes.

The tail feathers look dark brown, and the two flanks are distinctive chestnut red, with very obvious characteristics.

"That's a red-flanked white-eye bird, right?"

Xiao Ai didn’t know that much about birds, but she also had a little impression of this bird in her mind. After thinking for a while, she said, “I remember this bird builds its nest on a branch 2.5 meters or higher from the ground. It will vary depending on the conditions..."

"You mean to say that there is spider silk on the list of materials for this bird's nest." Guangyou understands what Xiao Ai means. If the bird doesn't help the case, Xiao Ai will not say the information.

"Yeah." Xiao Ai nodded and continued, "If this bird is really a red-flanked white eye, then the spider silk on the deceased can explain it."

Immediately afterwards, the three of them fell into contemplation again. Although they were so, they thought differently.

For Guangyou, the case can be over here, after all, the evidence and suspects needed to solve the case have been determined.

Among them, the suspect is naturally Kondo, who is also a staff member of the park. According to the current situation, only Kondo is suspected of killing Hirai.

When he first arrived at Xiaotengu Mountain, Kosuke had heard the conversation between Hirai and Kondo.

It can be known from the conversation between the two that, in fact, the relationship between the two is not good, and there may even be hatred.

Otherwise, Hirai wouldn't say something like "I'm dead, you should be very happy."

More importantly, Kondo who works here should be familiar with most places on the mountain. Kosuke can think that Kondo knows how to come to this crooked neck tree.

As for the evidence, of course he has, that is, these holes in the trunk.

Before Guangyou accidentally glanced, the hiking boots under Kondo’s feet were old models with studs, while new hiking boots generally did not have studs.

In recent years, manufacturers have made a lot of technological progress, even if there are no spikes, it will not affect the anti-slip performance of shoes.

It's like the pair of hiking boots that Xiao Ai wore today. There are no spikes in the pair under her feet.

When you look back, just compare Kondo's shoes to know if the hole in the tree was left by him.

Therefore, what Guangyou thinks now is where to take Xiao Ai to play after the case is over.

For Conan, the case is not over yet.

He knew that the suspect was Kondo and that the evidence was a hole in the trunk, but with these he could not bring the prisoner to justice because he did not know the prisoner's methods.

There is not much evidence in his hand now, and Kondo can completely push it away.

For example, for the holes in the trunk, Kondo can use the white-eye bird to make a fuss. If he climbs the tree to protect the bird, then Conan has nothing to do with him.

As for the climbing spikes installed on the cliff, Conan has no evidence to prove that the climbing spikes were installed by Kondo. Kondo can make up any reason to fool the climbing spikes.

In summary, Conan has to reason about Kondo's modus operandi.

Then he can find an opportunity to move out of the old style, which is simply to anesthetize Uncle Maori and let the "sleeping Kogoro" come out to reason.

First explain the reasoning process in front of Kondo, and then throw out the evidence after breaking Kondo's defense.

A two-pronged approach can make Kondo confess his crime.

Xiao Ai and the other two think differently.

She was thinking about waiting for the case to end, whether to take Guangyou to eat something.

Because Xiao Ai always feels that Guangyou has not eaten enough, otherwise, how come the first sentence that pops up after seeing the rabbit is "This rabbit must be delicious"?
