While talking, everyone has already come to the opposite room. At this time, there was no one here. Of course, because there was no case, the scene was not closed or anything, and the police did not stay here to investigate.
As I heard before, this place is now the former ward in the process of relocation. At present, the rooms here are basically unused, and the quietness is like the feeling of a hospital in a horror movie. If only a few people came , I guess no one would dare to come here.
The door of the room was not locked. When I opened the door, I saw a very clean room. It was so clean that there was nothing in the room, and everything had been moved out. Of course it wasn't the police who did it, the things in this room have already been cleaned up.
Fortunately, the electricity was still on, and several people also turned on the lights in the room, and then observed the situation in the room. Of course, the basic situation of this room can be seen at a glance, and there is really no abnormal feeling at all. There was no blood on the ground, and the room was very clean, without any traces.
"What I saw was indeed this room." Mori Kogoro also walked to the window and pointed to Conan's ward. It was indeed on the opposite side, and he could see it clearly now.
"So, Mr. Mori, how long did it take you from discovering the situation to calling the police and coming here?" Yusaku Kudo asked here.
"I guess it's five minutes at most, probably less than that." Mori Kogoro said.
"Five minutes." Yusaku Kudo nodded, and continued to observe the room as he spoke, to see if there was any place to hide the corpse. There are no cabinets or anything, ventilation ducts and the like? Didn't see anything obvious either. It is obviously impossible to throw the corpse down. After all, the police must have looked for it. It is indeed a bit exaggerated to move the corpse and clean up the scene in five minutes. Have this idea.
"Oh, but I obviously saw it." Mori Kogoro here also knew that he couldn't explain the current situation clearly, and he himself was a little uncertain.
"Hey, this is..." At this time, Yusaku Kudo suddenly seemed to find something on the ground, and bent down to observe carefully.
Linton also went up curiously to check the situation, and found that the carpet near the window seemed to be wrinkled.
"It seems to have been soaked in water, and it's just recently." Kudo Yusaku here looked at the condition of the carpet and said.
"Really? Was it caused by someone cleaning up the blood here with water?" Mori Kogoro asked immediately.
"No...it's not such a new trace, it's dried up now." Kudo Yusaku said, "And if you clean up the blood, it's obviously impossible to only have this trace, it looks more like it was wet by rain."
"Oh... is that so..." Mori Kogoro was a little disappointed, obviously this discovery didn't prove anything at all.
But for Yusaku Kudo, this is no small discovery. After discovering this trace, he immediately felt that the matter was really not simple: "Just now the nurse seemed to say that it has been two or three months since the ward was cleaned up. If that is the case, this trace should obviously not appear. Yes. If you forget to close the windows during cleaning, it obviously shouldn’t affect such a small area, but if it is after cleaning, who will come back here to open the windows.”
"Yes... yes, how did the rain come in?" Mori Kogoro here also reacted immediately, "Yes... yes, when I came, I remember that the windows here were not open, just It's closed as it is now."
"Anyway, someone deliberately opened the window... This room is obviously no longer used... What is the purpose?" Yusaku Kudo opened the window by himself while talking. But it's midnight now, and it's really dark outside. Apart from a few rooms with lights on, you can't see anything else.
Kudo Yusaku didn't find anything special here, just about to close the window, suddenly seemed to find something again, and suddenly looked carefully at the window here.
"Did you find anything? Mr. Kudo." Seeing that Yusaku Kudo seemed to have discovered something, Mori Kogoro asked immediately.
"So... no wonder." Kudo Yusaku here seemed to understand something, so he said to himself.
"Oh? What's going on?" Mori Kogoro asked anxiously.
"This matter... can't be sure yet, and we have to verify it a little bit." Yusaku Kudo didn't directly explain the answer, but it was obvious from his face that he had already confirmed his answer.
"Do all detectives like to play this game? Are you not afraid of being killed by the murderer before you have time to speak?" Linton next to him said speechlessly.
"No, I'm just asking for proof, and now I don't know if someone has really committed a crime." Yusaku Kudo said, "Let's go, we will understand the truth soon."
While speaking, Kudo Yusaku had already walked out towards the door of the room. Mori Kogoro was also stunned, he was really anxious now: "Mr. Kudo, where are you going? Have you finished watching?" "Go to the room over there to look for clues." Kudo Yusaku pointed to the front of the corridor and said.
"The room over there?" Mori Kogoro looked strange, the place Yusaku Kudo mentioned was no longer the room next to him, he was referring to the location at the end of the corridor.
In this row of corridors, there are former wards on the left and right, and they are no longer in use. And Yusaku Kudo pointed at the corner at the end of the corridor. Because this sick building is actually designed in the shape of a "ji", this side is facing the room where Conan is located, and it is connected in the middle. Yusaku Kudo should be talking about the connected place.
But the question is why do you want to look there? Kogoro Mori is a little puzzled. What he sees is this room. What does it have to do with the room over there? Could it be that the corpse was hidden in the room over there? The room on the same floor may have been seen by the police before, obviously there should be no corpse.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Mori, I would like to ask you, you said that you slept well in the room, but suddenly woke up for some reason, what is going on?" Yusaku Kudo asked as he walked.
"Huh? This... I don't know why I woke up all of a sudden." Kogoro Moori obviously felt a little clueless.
"But why did you wake up suddenly after sleeping well." Yusaku Kudo asked, "Did you encounter something, such as hearing something..."
"Ah..." As if reminded by Yusaku Kudo, Mori Kogoro suddenly remembered something, "Yes... By the way, I did seem to hear something in a daze, but when I got up, I saw the situation on the opposite side , and forgot about it all at once.”
"What sound?" Yusaku Kudo asked.
"What's the sound... By the way, it seems to be the sound from the corridor, the sound of music... It seems to be the sound of music..." Mori Kogoro said.
"That's right." Yusaku Kudo said, "It should be some kind of music alarm clock set, or a mobile phone that was placed in advance."
"Alarm clock? What's going on?" Mori Kogoro asked quickly.
"This incident is strange to say the least." Kudo Yusaku said, "If someone is really witnessing a murder, how does he know that he is being witnessed? If the other party is really in that room If you kill someone, obviously you should clean up the scene after killing someone. There is no need to wait five minutes to hide the body and tidy up the room. It seems that he knew from the beginning that he would be found, and someone would soon It's like arriving at the scene. But after 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, who would notice the situation in the old ward..."
"That's right, the other party's actions are really too fast." Mori Kogoro said.
"So all of this looks more like it was intended for others to see. And Mr. Mori, you are the one who was chosen." Yusaku Kudo said.
"So that's why the murderer prepared something like an alarm clock to wake Mr. Mori up." Miyano Shiho who was next to him nodded and said, "But is this safe? What if Mr. Mori doesn't wake up?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't, after all...there hasn't been a murder case yet, and there are no corpses yet." Yusaku Kudo said.
As Yusaku Kudo said, he also opened the door of a room, and everyone followed in, and found that the room seemed to be a warehouse.
There are some sundries piled up in the room, most of which are medical equipment, such as hangers, stretchers, and more obviously, a mannequin placed in the corner next to it.
This mannequin should be used for training such as first aid, and it is about the size of a real person. Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku here also smiled slightly, probably already seeing what he was looking for.
"There are no corpses here." Kogoro Mori also looked in the room, but obviously there was no corpse he was looking for in this room, and the room was quite clean, without any special traces.
"The corpse is in this room." Yusaku Kudo said with a smile.
"What? Really? Where?" Mori Kogoro asked immediately. Looking at the room again, although there are a lot of sundries, there seems to be no place to hide the corpse.
"That's it..." Kudo Yusaku pointed to the mannequin and said.
"Ah? This...isn't the corpse hidden in the mannequin?" Mori Kogoro here was suddenly a little scared and took a few steps back.
"No, what I mean is, Mr. Mori, the killed 'person' you saw before is it, so it is really no problem to say that it is a 'corpse'." Yusaku Kudo said.
