Grammar Explanation: Furthermore with さらに〜

Manga panel from 名探偵コナン showing example of Furthermore, this room is too warm with さらに〜.
名探偵コナン » Volume 1 » Page 139

Upon walking in on a murder scene, Conan goes right to work making observations about the blood-covered body and its surroundings. He notes how the room is torn apart save for one upright chair beside the deceased.

コナン:
「さらに、暑(あつ)すぎるこの部屋(へや)…」
“Furthermore, this room is too warm...”
「死亡推定時刻(しぼうすいていじこく)をくるわせるためなのか…」
“Is it to confuse the estimated time of death...?”
「いや、まてよ…　それなら死体(したい)を水(みず)につけた方(ほう)が…」
“No, wait... If that's the case, it would be better to put the corpse in water...”

さらに is used here to provide additional observations.

Key Points

  1. さらに adds another clue

    • Conan is already listing suspicious details about the room.

    • さらに works like “furthermore” or “in addition”, introducing one more observation.

  2. 暑(あつ)すぎるこの部屋(へや) is an inverted noun phrase

    • Instead of saying この部屋(へや)は暑(あつ)すぎる, Conan says 暑(あつ)すぎるこの部屋(へや).

    • That structure spotlights “this too-hot room” as another suspicious item on his list.
