Although the Blizzard has stopped, but the pond is still blowing cold wind from time to time, trying to drill into the collar.

Gao Cheng tightens his collar and looks back at the mountain village gymnastics talking with several college students. His eyes fall on the pond again.

The victim's body has been taken away by the police for judicial autopsy. In this environment, it is impossible to determine a more specific time of death, so the work mainly focuses on the cause of death.

Even if it's drowning, it doesn't have to be drowning in this pond, and then there's no medicine.

At present, there are two possibilities: one is that Shuozi and his skis rushed down together, and the other is that someone got him down.

Considering the dress of the corpse, it should have been someone who suddenly called out of the room to wear only a ski suit. The skis and ski boots put in the shared locker may have been taken out by the prisoner.

Overall, Shuozi may have lost consciousness or died before falling into the pond.

The key is to wait for the autopsy report. If we can find out, the only way left is to throw Shuozi from the cliff into the pond

Above the cliff, Gao Cheng and a group of people from Shancun returned to the edge of the cliff through the bridge.

A section of the fence used to protect safety is missing, with a "danger" sign in the middle.

"This is probably where she fell down..."

The mountain village took a careful look at the pond below.

"Really, is it just a small sign when the railings are broken?"

"It broke down last week. It's said that it's going to be repaired this weekend..."

"Well, it doesn't look like there's any sign of skis."

"The snow is so heavy, some words also disappeared?"

"That's what I'm talking about," mountain village Cao nodded with his hands behind his back, and then asked Gao Cheng, "what's next, detective Chenghu?"

Gao Cheng is full of black lines. He looks at the shoehorn face standing on the side all the time. When he sees the shoehorn face dodging away from his sight, he leads the crowd to the snowman beside the hotel.

"Has Mr. Banqiao been making snowmen here? Have you heard anything? "

"Er, I'm here before 1 o'clock, because I have an appointment to have lunch at 1 o'clock... But I've been concentrating on this work all the time. In addition, it's snowy and windy, so I haven't heard anything..."

"Is it?"

Gao Cheng put his hands in and asked no more. He turned to the village and said, "protect the scene first. Everyone will wait for the autopsy results in the lobby."

"Well? Is it really not an accident? " "Mountain village excited way," city door detective can also come to a deep sleep reasoning? "

“……”

"Well," she asked, "can I stay here, because I don't have enough time, so I want to finish this work as soon as possible..."

"What is this?" asked the mountain village

"It's snow man..."

"It's just a semi-finished product. Let's wait for a draft of the slab bridge design before we discuss it."

"After all," Gao Cheng interjected, "it doesn't seem to have changed much from when we first saw it..."

"Well," he said awkwardly, "I haven't thought about it. Maybe I'm in a hurry."

"Oh, let's go back to the lobby and have a rest. Maybe inspiration will come later."

"Ah?"

Back in the lobby of the hotel, the faces of the people were different. Bu Mei and others gathered around to discuss who the murderer was. Conan leaned on the side alone, frowning and meditating. From time to time, he used his spare light to see Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng stayed for a while and left the lobby to ask the police to search the room of the shoeboard face bridge, especially the drain.

Because the murderer probably drowned miss Shuozi in the room first, and then transported the body to the pond. In this case, the hot spring water in the pond should also be used.

The composition of hot spring water is much better than that of conventional water, and it can be checked on site

"Does detective Chenghu already know who the killer is?" The village was surprised and happy.

"I didn't say it. It's just that Banqiao is the most likely killer at present." Gao Cheng said.

"Why?"

"For the time being, regardless of the technique and the evidence, miss Shuozi will wear a ski suit, which means that she was called outside at first, so Banqiao, who has been staying outside, is the most suspicious, and then the snowman, who has been studying works in such a big storm, happens to be on the side of the cliff. If the murderer has someone else, will he choose to do it here?"

Gao Cheng looks at the silly mountain village and shakes his head.

"And the Banqiao that has been here is definitely not doing nothing."

"Eh?" The village was in a trance. "Isn't it a research work?"

"It's just a cover."

Gao Cheng goes to the semi-finished snow man.

"The reason why the snowman doesn't move his lower body is not because he has no inspiration, but because he can't move. Banqiao needs this big snowball below to push miss Shuozi into the cliff. After the snowball rolls to the pond, because the water in the pond comes from the hot spring, it will soon melt, and miss Shuozi's body will naturally float on the surface of the water as it was found..."

"Even if you're a detective, you can't talk nonsense!" Several college students suddenly came over and asked Benshan's students to say, "Shuozi is small, but it's absolutely impossible to roll down the cliff in this snowball. If the snowball is not strong enough, it will be broken halfway. How can it just fall into the pond?"“ Yes, if it doesn't disintegrate, it will be at least 2 meters in diameter, and one person can't push it at all... "Gao Cheng looked back and saw several people frowning. Before finding the absolute evidence, he does not want to start reasoning, because there is a contingency in everything, and he may make mistakes. If he is not careful, he may be the second one. With his current reputation, the consequences of a wrong case are much more serious“ What if the snowball hardens? " Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "when the police came, I had checked here. There is still salty smell on the snow. It should be residual salt."“ Salt. "“ Generally speaking, salt can be used to melt snow, because adding salt in the snow will reduce the freezing point and cause the snow to melt, but before melting, it will absorb the heat around and make the surrounding snow freeze and harden. This principle is usually used in the track of ski resort and the reinforcement of snow house... "Gao Cheng looked at the crowd with a confused face, and his words stopped“ In short, as long as you know that salt can be used to make snowballs hard... "" but, "Benshan came back to himself," isn't the snowman so good here? "“ It's time to do it again in a hurry. Of course, only body parts are needed. That's why only the head is carved in advance. " Gao Cheng reaches for the snow man's head and shows the big snowball below“ Now only the head is reinforced, and it can be redone at any time... "Are you kidding“ Does it take time and energy to make such a big snowball again? Banqiao, who ate with us, didn't look like the one after work... "Benshan explained to his classmates," and it's not necessarily Banqiao. "“ As like as two peas, he can do it, because even if he needs to re build a big snowball as a body, he can't do it, because the details of his head and body connection are only made by Mr. snowbridge. Gao Cheng smiles and looks at his face“ Besides, only Mr. Banqiao is easy to make miss Shuozi put on her ski suit again. Unfortunately, he ignores the ski glasses, gloves and hats... Or does Mr. Banqiao want to say that he is not in this place at all and that someone else has committed a crime and planted it? "“ "Banqiao?" Benshan and Mahua are not willing to believe it, looking at the shoe face“ Is... "Detective Chenghu, the evidence?" Benshan gritted his teeth and said, "the snowman can't be the evidence that Banqiao is the prisoner..." "there's no evidence yet." Gao Cheng's eyes turned to the cliff“ Of course, these are just my reasoning, but can't I find any evidence? It's just a matter of time. After all, from the point of view of technique, the murderer should have killed miss Shuozi in his own room, which is not so good. "
