Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1079: Belmode as a Coolie

In the end, Hirokazu Kajitani had no choice but to have his backpack checked. After all, it was an obligation he could not refuse.

In addition to some notebooks and sundries, there was also a camera.

Inspector Megure opened his camera and found that it was filled with some secretly taken photos of Hatori Ryūdō, including one photo of him angrily reaching out towards the camera.

That was a photo of Potuludo discovering that he was being secretly photographed and angrily stepped forward to stop it.

Yuya came over to take a look, his eyes narrowed slightly - the eyes of Hatorutomichi in this photo were a little bigger than in his previous images, and it was obvious that he was wearing colored contact lenses.

However, the forensic officer did not mention this incident when examining the body. Could it have fallen somewhere?

He asked the forensic officer, who said he had found nothing of the kind.

"Is there anything missing? Like wire, nails, or gloves?"

The forensic officer quickly said, "Yes, according to the testimony of the staff, there were indeed wires and gloves in the tool box, but they are gone."

"Also, that folding chair was originally placed further inside, but I don't know why it was moved to the edge of the stage."

"I see." Yuya nodded thoughtfully, "Is that folding chair still there?"

The forensic officer pointed to the back and said, "It's still there. My colleague is preparing to take it back for fingerprint testing."

Yuya looked up and saw a police officer walking towards him carrying a microphone and a folding chair.

Yuya Ying stepped forward: "Excuse me, can I see the chair?"

The police officer recognized Yuya and immediately handed the item over.

Yuya took the folding chair, checked it front and back, and soon found a single beauty contact lens at the bottom of the seat.

Conan also saw this scene.

Yuya pinched his chin and thought: "It's consistent with my guess."

"Inspector Megure." Yuya called out.

Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, then showed surprise: "What's wrong, brother Kamiya, do you know something?"

Yuya nodded and said, "I have figured out the method the criminal used to hang the body. Please ask Officer Takagi to cooperate with me in the demonstration."

"Of course no problem, Takagi, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes!"

···

Everyone returned to the stage and prepared the corresponding props.

Yuya first had someone put the rope around the top of the fence, placed one end at the audience seat, and tied the other end to Takagi Wataru's body.

Inspector Megure was puzzled when he saw this scene: "Can one person really hang someone up like this?"

According to Brother Kamiya, it only takes one person to hang the body.

"Of course," Yuya nodded, walked to the end of the rope in the audience and began to demonstrate.

"First, wrap this end of the rope into a loop as I demonstrated and hold it in your hand. Then, wrap the lower loop around the upper loop twice, tighten the lower loop, and at the same time, use the remaining rope hanging below the loop to pass through the lower loop to the middle..."

As Yuya spoke, he walked back and forth, wrapped the rope into several circles and fixed it on the audience seats.

"That's it."

Everyone looked at the circles here and there in the audience, and those who didn't understand looked confused.

"Next, let's find someone to pull the rope." Yuya held the end of the rope in his hand, glanced at everyone, and his eyes fell on Vermouth.

"Miss Xiaozi, can you come and help me?"

Vermouth was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and instinctively pointed at herself and asked in confusion: "Me?"

Amuro Toru was startled and quickly warned Yuya with a subtle look.

Conan and Okiya Subaru also looked at Yuya in surprise.

Yuya ignored it and nodded, "Yes, among the people present, your strength seems to be relatively weak, so you are the most suitable experimental subject."

Among the women present, Suzuki Sonoko, Miyano Shiho and Madoka Kanae should be relatively weaker in strength, but one of them is his girlfriend and the other is a childhood friend, so how could he let them get tired?

There is another suspect, so Yu also set his sights on Vermouth.

Now that he was here, how could he go back without doing something? And he was sure that in order not to reveal her identity, Vermouth had no choice but to obey.

As for what happened afterwards... Don't talk about them as if they were friends. If they met in another place, they would be enemies, okay? It would be polite if they didn't stab each other directly when they met.

"Ms. Xiaozi, can I ask you for a favor?" Inspector Megure asked.

Vermouth had no choice but to step forward, while secretly guarding against Yuu's possible actions.

But it seemed that she was overthinking it, Youye simply asked her to help with the experiment and did not do anything extra.

"Just pull the end of the rope." Yuya handed the rope to Vermouth.

The latter glared at him secretly, pretended not to be very strong and started to pull the rope.

As the rope was pulled, Takagi Wataru suddenly let out a cry.

Everyone looked over quickly and saw that Takagi Wataru's feet had already left the ground.

"What is this?!" everyone was puzzled.

Vermouth was also very surprised. She hadn't even started to exert any strength yet, so how could this happen?

"Miss Xiaozi, you could use a little more strength."

Vermouth snorted, gritted her teeth, and pretended to pull the rope very hard.

"Wow wow wow!" Takagi Shigeru began to exclaim. As Vermouth used more strength, he was directly pulled into the air and swayed there.

Inspector Megure was very surprised: "What's going on, Brother Kamiya?"

"It's the principle of the pulley, right?" Toru Amuro couldn't help but join in, while looking at Subaru Okiya beside him.

Subaru Okiya nodded. "Yes, these small loops made in the middle of the rope can act as pulleys, so each additional pulley can double, quadruple, or even 2 times the force."

"Of course, because it is a rope loop, taking into account the influence of friction, the actual pulling force will not be 8 times, but it is enough for a weak woman to easily pull up an adult man."

Subaru Okiya saw through Yuya's plan, which was to make Vermouth a hard laborer, so he secretly mocked her while explaining.

Vermouth's forehead went dark. What weak woman, are you kidding me? Do you believe that I can open your head with one hand?

She didn't know Okiya Subaru's true identity, and could only console herself by thinking that this guy was just going along with what that little bastard Yuuya said.

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on. They all knew the principle of the pulley, but they didn't see the pulley at the scene so they didn't think about it in that direction.

I didn't expect that something like this could be accomplished with just a rope.

Yuya took over the conversation: "In other words, the criminal doesn't need any accomplices at all. Only one person is needed to hang the body."

"Also, this type of knot is called a native knot, and it is a type of rope tying method that freight companies often use when securing cargo in trucks. In other words, the first person who deserves suspicion for hanging Mr. Botu's body is the person who claimed to have worked for his freight company for a long time."

Yuya raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on someone: "I am right, Mr. Hatano's agent, Ms. Madoka Kanae."

Enjo Kanae's expression suddenly changed.

Everyone looked at her in silence.
