Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 466 The Disappearing Murder Weapon

This is different from Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri who are still wondering how the criminal got in and escaped.

Jinpei Matsuda and Conan have already identified the murderer, who is Kazukatsu Okura who commissioned Kogoro Mori this time.

The only problem now is the evidence... and the murder weapon.

Forensic personnel had searched the yard downstairs, but found only a bunch of footprints. No pistol was found, nor was there one outside.

Usually the murder weapon is kept, and most of them have their own marks on it.

In other words, as long as they can find the gun, they will have solved the case...

As for the smoke reaction?

Neither of the two maids had it, nor did Okura Kazukatsu...

Conan and Jinpei Matsuda each held a lollipop and squatted against the wall, worrying.

Mao Lilan, who was standing outside and watching, had been noticing them for a long time. She asked with a little concern, "What's wrong? You two seem to be in a bad mood since a while ago."

"Ah? Sister Xiaolan, we are fine..."

Conan quickly waved at Xiaolan.

At this time, a "drip, drip, drip" sound was heard from the balcony opposite the deceased's room.

Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a moment, "Is that the sound of a washing machine?"

"Is that so? I'll go over and take a look..."

After Xiaolan finished speaking, she went to the bathroom to check the situation.

As for Jinpei Matsuda and Conan, they are even more melancholy.

"I was wondering why there was no smoke reaction...it seems that he shot with his clothes on." Jinpei Matsuda felt very sorry.

And he might have worn gloves when he fired the gun.

"... Did he wash the gloves too?" Conan pondered.

Matsuda Jinpei stroked his chin and asked, "I'll ask someone to check it out later?"

Conan nodded: "I think it's okay."

"You didn't find a pistol in this house before?"

"No... I even took apart the toilet tank and looked, but there was nothing." Conan sighed in frustration.

That gun can't fly into the sky by itself, right?

However, he searched everywhere he could think of and found nothing, which was very strange.

At this time, Jinpei Matsuda suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Conan was startled for a moment, then immediately followed, "Officer Matsuda, did you find anything?"

"No, I just heard you say you didn't find it, so I checked again." Matsuda Jinpei pushed open the door and walked into the bathroom. "Anyway, the other party's movements were basically like that... Although there is no evidence, the dangerous thing should be here."

They had searched everywhere they could throw the gun, but found nothing, so the only possibility was that he was still hiding indoors...

Based on their analysis of Okura Kazukatsu's movements, it is most likely that the pistol was hidden in the bathroom.

"I searched the cabinets, the ceiling, and the water heater, but I didn't find anything useful."

Seeing that Jinpei Matsuda was searching seriously, Conan simply reported his search results in full.

“Could it be hidden in the ceiling?”

Jinpei Matsuda raised a question.

Then, before Conan could answer, he stood on the sink and directly removed a piece of the spliced ​​ceiling.

Conan: "..." Officer Matsuda, you seem a bit violent.

After leaning his head up to check, Matsuda Jinpei sighed and put the ceiling back with regret, "It seems that there is none."

Looking at the obvious signs of disassembly, Conan opened his mouth.

This is so obviously not the case, right?

but……

Just as Matsuda Jinpei was about to get down from the sink, his eyes suddenly fixed:
"This is……"

……

The corridor outside the crime scene room.

"Officer! Instead of investigating this and that, why don't you go catch the murderer?"

Okura Kazakhstan probably became a little arrogant again because he saw that Matsuda Jinpei was not there.

Inspector Megure was a good-tempered person. Based on the idea of ​​"serving the people", he could only ask Okura Kazukatsu to calm down: "Well, Mr. Okura, we also want to see if we can find any traces of the criminal, so that we can track him down later..."

"That's right, Mr. Okura." Maori Kogoro suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Okura Kazukatsu suspiciously, "Come to think of it, Mr. Okura wants me to investigate your wife's affair, right?"

Okura Kazukatsu was slightly stunned, and then he became angry: "Detective Maori! I entrusted you with this because I respect you as a famous detective. How can you say such a thing in public!"

Kogoro Maori's eyes revealed a gleam of wisdom: "No! Now that things have come to this, of course we have to tell the police about this kind of thing..."

"Mr. Okura! Could it be that you hate your wife..." Maori Kogoro stepped forward, his eyes like he was interrogating a criminal, "so you hired a killer to kill him?"

Okura and Katsu almost thought they were exposed, and were stunned, "Huh?"

Then, because of Kogoro Mouri's testimony without any evidence, Kazukatsu Okura got angry again, and Inspector Megure quickly wanted to take him away.

However, at this moment, Jinpei Matsuda and Conan pushed the door open from the bathroom with expressionless faces.

Two people had clearly visible stains on their bodies.

Everyone was stunned.

When they were wondering why the two men went to the bedroom, Matsuda Jinpei raised the evidence bag in his hand and said coldly to Okura Kazukatsu:
"This is the gun the murderer used, but it has been disassembled... I think there should be Mr. Okura's fingerprints on it."

"So, Mr. Okura, why don't you go with us to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Jinpei Matsuda's attitude was quite aggressive.

This confused Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori: "Matsuda... the murderer is Mr. Okura? This..."

"Mr. Okura deliberately arranged things at home very strictly, and required the maids to do things strictly according to the time, so that he could ensure that he would not be discovered if he took action within the planned time."

Conan stood next to Jinpei Matsuda and gave additional explanations.

But everyone else was still confused, except Okura Kazunari, who suddenly calmed down after being shocked and pointed at Matsuda Jinpei: "What is this? Why is there such a thing in my house!"

Jinpei Matsuda's evidence bag contained scattered pistol parts.

——He took this out from the water pipe in the sink.

Of course, in order to get this thing, he dismantled the entire washbasin, making it full of dirt and stains, and his clothes were all dirty.

Therefore, Jinpei Matsuda usually doesn't have a good face towards those prisoners who like to add workload to them in strange places.

Conan didn't look happy either - because he was also splashed with dirty water from the pipe.

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

Jinpei Matsuda never pampers his criminals.

Under the watchful eyes of Inspector Megure, he grabbed the collar of Okura Kazukatsu's bathrobe and lifted him up, his expression like a bully: "Do you think that washing clothes that react to gunpowder will be fine? You'd better pray that nothing can be detected on the clothes."
