In the banquet hall, all the guests were waiting for the police's investigation results. Obviously, they were very sleepy and didn't want to stay at the scene of the crime.

"Er, after everyone's investigation, no one secretly hid the murder weapon, and no one was stained with a lot of blood... So, let's go back today, and then we need to record the confession, and then let you know," Mumu said and announced, looking at the watch time, "it's almost one o'clock..."

"Pa!"

The light in the hall suddenly went out and fell into darkness. Before he raised his wrist, he looked stunned. Before he asked questions, he saw the housekeeper pushing a cake dining car with candles on it.

"What's the matter?" Mu Mu was surprised and said, "does anyone have a birthday? This kind of time also.... "

"Well, police," Takagi said, looking at his watch by candlelight, "when I give the signal, blow out the candle like the victim."

"Well?" "What? Gao mu, you... "

"Now, 3... 2... 1... OK!"

"Hoo

Takagi signals to his watch, but he's still a bit silly. He bends down like a reflex, puffs out all the candles, and the venue falls into darkness again.

"And then?"

Mu Mu straightens up and looks around at the silence in doubt. Just wondering, the back of the head is hit heavily.

"Dong!"

"Who?" Mu Mu turned around, vaguely saw the shadow of a stick, and said angrily, "who hit me on the head with a stick just now?"

"Hoo

With the big bell ringing, the French window door in the direction of the balcony opened, and the cold wind roared past.

Mu Mu sank his face and said, "what's the matter with this arrangement? It's no use even opening the window and pretending to escape, because I've seen the stick that hit me, and now the man with the stick... "

With the light on, Conan stepped forward and said, "excuse me, officer Mumu, I hit you just now."

"Oh?" Mu Mu looked down at Conan in astonishment, "what nonsense are you talking about, Conan? You didn't take a stick!"

The child is really good at joking when he can admit that he is so reasonable when beating people

"Officer Mu Mu," Gao Cheng explained as he walked into the room from the balcony, "it's really Conan. That's right. It's just that the stick has gone outside now. To be exact, it's not a stick, but an umbrella."

"Umbrella?"

"Yes, just as at the time of the crime, the experiment was very successful."

Gao Cheng went to the dazed dusk and said: "first, prepare a long rope, tie a heavy object in the middle, and tie a loose knot on one end of the rope, hang the knot on the tip of the clock outside, and the tied object will go down over the balcony handrail, and the other end will be pulled into the room through the window

"When you turn off the light to blow out the candle, tie the rope to the handle of the umbrella. When the candle is blown out, hit the police officer with the umbrella, and then the umbrella will be pulled out because of the heavy object falling. That's about it."

"But will it work? I didn't see it just now, but someone will find the rope on the balcony at the birthday party. " Mu Mu felt his head depressed.

Even so, you don't have to hit him on the head, do you?

"Of course, in fact, the prisoners should use fishing lines and other things that are not easy to find," Gao Cheng glanced over his beard. "The big clock outside is just above the balcony, and there is a ring-shaped gap on the clock. When he goes straight down to 6 o'clock, the ropes tied to it will soon fall off

"As for the murder weapon and heavy objects, the reason why they can't be found is that they fell directly into the well below. It's easy to do as long as the rope is extended."

"Well," murmured mu, "what about the blood? The prisoner stabbed the victim in the chest. After stabbing, he can't immediately turn to the back of the victim to control the victim and pull out the weapon with the power of falling heavy objects, right? If you just stab the victim in the chest, it's fair to say that there is a necklace coated with fluorescent paint on the chest, but it's impossible to act flexibly in the dark, and then... "

"No, it's impossible for the murderer to use heavy objects to pull out the weapon. It's easy to find out if he carries too much heavy objects, so it's the prisoner who pulled out the weapon himself, and the reason why he didn't spill blood all over his body is that..."

Gao Cheng's vision falls on the light edge of the beard.

"Before revealing the cause, we can find out who the killer is."

"Can you tell directly?" My eyes are dim.

"Yes, the key is bloodstain," Gao Cheng explained. "Only Mr. Qingbian got bloodstain. They were Mr. Qingbian who was close to the hands and cuffs of the fallen victim after the incident, Miss Zhou Fang who rubbed her arm with bloodstain, and old man Guyuan who splashed blood on his shoulder

"It's not surprising that the old man stood next to his wife and spattered blood. The blood on Miss Zhou Fang's arm was probably wiped by the murder weapon as it flew to the balcony... Then, I want to ask Mr. light Bian how to approach his wife to leave such blood."

Gao Cheng quietly looks at the light side and realizes his trembling hands“ Do you press your hands and cuffs directly on your wife's bleeding chest? Even so, how could the clothes and trousers not be stained with blood? It's strange that you didn't step on the blood for such a large amount of blood... "So there's only one reason. The reason why you get blood on your hands is because you directly took the murder weapon!"“ What? " Mu Mu is stunned and says, "is Mr. light edge a murderer?"?! The murder weapon was... "Didn't I just say that? It's an umbrella, but he uses a folding umbrella, which can be hidden in his arms, making it more convenient for him to commit crimes without being found out. " Gao Cheng makes the final inference“ This can be guessed from their testimony: big man, fat man, fast speed, cloth friction... In fact, they all talk about murder weapons. They are so big that they help Mr. housekeeper to block the spilled blood because the umbrella is opened, and the prisoner also uses this method to avoid the blood stains... "I think it should be that a sharp murder weapon is installed on the tip of the umbrella, and then he stabs his wife with the umbrella, When he pulled it out, all the blood was blocked by the umbrella. The reason why Mr. Qingbian's hands were stained with blood was that he was in a hurry to close the umbrella. In order to save time, he probably used rubber bands tied to his wrists and other things. " Gao Cheng walked by his trembling and absent-minded beard and said, "to be able to do this, you have to be very familiar with this place. As the designer of this villa, you don't even need to experiment to know how long the rope will be. Besides, I heard that you can borrow a pocket watch from your wife during the party. It's easy to dial a few seconds to create a crime time for yourself“ Before I took the initiative to help with the investigation, the real reason is probably that it's raining outside again, so it's hard to leave, right? Can you tell me where your umbrella is? "
