My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 589 Death is definitely targeting him

What is the fishing line found at crime scenes in the science world often used for?

Except for the anger of the fisherman.

Generally speaking, it is used to tie keys.

In a scene that appears to be a secret room, put the key back into the room to reduce your suspicion.

Furthermore, anyone who has used tape to stick things knows that once the tape is stained with something, if it is torn off and then used again, the stickiness will be greatly reduced, and it may even become unstable.

Such tape will not stick at all, but if it is only temporarily fixed and the wires inside need to be removed later, then it all makes sense.

Coincidentally, there was a key placed on the table below the lower left corner of the calendar.

How could this not make Qingmu Song suspicious?

Ke Xue told Qing Musong that in this kind of case, whoever does not have the key will be more likely to be a suspect.

In this case, who is left without a key?

Toru Mikami!

If he was the murderer, then he didn't come here in a hurry because he was worried, and he couldn't have deliberately let people find out that Mei Jinxiu was dead.

After all, the first person to discover the thing is likely to be suspected by the police.

Then there is only one possibility for him to rush here!

After killing Mei Jinxiu, he left the place, but suddenly remembered that there was something in the house that could prove that he was the murderer, so he hurried over here, just to destroy the evidence before the police arrived.

Thinking of this, Aoki Matsu called a few police officers and started to search through the boxes and cabinets near the body, leaving nothing behind, especially under the sofa.

Well, there's nothing I can do about it, since the case of Yoko Okino in "Detective Conan" was so impressive.

With so many police officers, such a big earring was not found under the sofa, and Conan had to do it himself.

The impression was so deep that it would be hard for Qing Mu Song to forget it.

I didn’t expect that this time, I would actually find something under the sofa.

At the bottom of the sofa, an object was found - a button stuck to the bottom of the sofa by chewing gum.

This button is very special.

"These look like the buttons on Mr. Mikami's suit. Oh, and the bottom button on the left side of his suit is not buttoned." Maruta Ayumi said when he saw this.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, also said, "By the way, Mr. Umezu seems to like chewing gum very much. When we were the guests, he couldn't help but pick up some to chew."

Aoki Matsu smiled when he heard this, "Maruta."

I told you, if Mei Jinxiu had time to take that broken scepter before he died, he might as well just write who the murderer is with blood on his face.

Using chewing gum to pick up the buttons you pulled off the murderer is very realistic.

Maruta Ayumi understood and walked towards Mikami Toru, "Excuse me." Without waiting for his reaction, Maruta Ayumi lifted up Mikami Toru's clothes, and sure enough, the buttons at the bottom were missing.

"It seems that the murderer should be Mr. Mikami." Aoki Matsu looked at Mikami Toru and said, "You should have returned here after separating from Detective Mori and the others, and then went to the top floor of this apartment, and hung a thin rope from there that was just long enough to reach the window of this room, and tied the other end to the railing on the roof.

Then you come down from the roof and ask Mr. Umezu to open the door and let you in. Next, you wait for the right moment to add the prepared poison into the coffee, and then type a suicide note on the computer.

Next, pull the string hanging from the roof into the house, tear off the tape on the lower left corner of the calendar, put the string in the middle of the tape, and stick it back. After doing all this, you leave the room, lock the door with the key, and then go back to the roof with the key.

Then take the string tied to the railing and pass it through the key ring. Under the action of gravity, the key will slide along the string all the way to the lower left corner of the calendar. At this time, as long as you pull the string hard and retract it, the key will naturally fall on the table.

In addition, in order to prevent this fake suicide from being exposed, you also prepared a murderer who disguised it all as suicide. This person is Mr. Long. The small transparent bag on Mr. Long should be the one you put on him when you had the chance.

You hurried here not because you were worried about Mr. Umezu, but because you suddenly realized halfway there that a button on your suit had fallen off. If the police found the button on your suit next to Mr. Umezu's body, all your hard work would be wasted.

So you ran back in a hurry, but unexpectedly met Detective Mori on the way, and you could only lie and say that you were worried about Teacher Umezu.

I think you didn't call Mr. Umezu again after you killed him. You can find out by checking your communication records at the telecommunications company."

After explaining Toru Mikami's modus operandi, Aoki Matsu looked at Toru Mikami and asked, "Mr. Mikami, you still don't plead guilty?"

Mikami pursed his lips tightly and frowned. Under the sharp eyes of the criminals, he lowered his head. "The novel I wrote was published by the teacher under his name because he was afraid that the writing style would reveal that it was a ghostwriter. So he said that I must never publish any works in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong sighed inwardly. This was another copyright warrior, and another classic case of a master stealing his apprentice.

He remembered at least one other case of carbon monoxide poisoning, also due to novel copyright issues.

These old writers really didn't learn from their experiences. Because of their greed, they ruined their lives.

"So you killed my dad. Things like killing people are only done in novels. You made a big mistake, Mr. Mikami." Umezu Takashi said to Mikami Toru.

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Umezu Takashi and said, "You are so lucky, Mr. Takashi. Now all your father's property belongs to you."

"Hehe!" Mei Jinlong laughed happily when he heard that.

"But..." Aoki changed the tone, and Umezu Takashi immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Mr. Long, you also need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with us. Although the small transparent bag we found on you just now was a frame-up by Mr. Mikami, your reaction is not that serious. Come back with us for a drug test." Aoki Matsu gave a look to the police officer next to him.

In simple terms: Aoki Matsu suspected that Umezu Takashi was taking drugs.

"No! Wait, please wait, I didn't..." Mei Jinlong hurriedly denied it, but the police officer next to him didn't listen at all and took him away by force.

Buy one get one free!

Toru Mikami was also taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Matsu Aoki and others.

The next day, Aoki Matsu came to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the examination report of Umezu Takashi came out, and it turned out that he was taking drugs.

However, this matter was not under the jurisdiction of the First Investigation Division, so Aoki Matsu had Umezu Takashi transferred to the responsible department.

The murder case of Toru Mikami did not cause any waves and was closed quickly. What awaited Mikami Toru was several years in prison.

It is worth mentioning that because it was confirmed that the newly published "The Road to Thirteen Steps" by Umezu Osamu was a plagiarism of Mikami Toru's work, all the profits from "The Road to Thirteen Steps" went to Mikami Toru.

But Toru Mikami didn't get any big bargain. After the incident was exposed, the sales of the book "The Road to Thirteen Steps" plummeted. Except for the first few sold, the rest could not be sold.

Originally, Aoki Matsu thought that Conan, the God of Death, was not targeting him and was just complaining in a joking manner, but another murder happened tonight, which made Aoki Matsu think more.

For three consecutive days, murders occurred late at night and we had to work overtime. If this is not targeted, then what else could be targeted?

Things start in the morning.

While Aoki Matsu was investigating the murder of Umezu Osamu, Mouri Ran and Conan went for a walk in a nearby park. They met two couples in their thirties walking their dogs in Beika Park.

Eisuke Tsutsumi and his wife: Eisuke Tsutsumi and Misato Tsutsumi.

Hiroshi Yagisawa and his wife: Hiroshi Yagisawa and Manami Yagisawa.

They each had a big dog, an Irish setter and a golden retriever, one named Musashi and the other named Kerr, both were 24 months old. Not only were they a male and a female, they were also childhood sweethearts who had been together since they were five months old.

These days dogs all have childhood sweethearts.

The two families took Musashi and Kerr to play the ball throwing game in Beika Park.

"Alas, it's Kerr who lost again this time." Yagisawa Hiroshi said with a smile while touching his beloved dog.

Tsutsumi Eisuke also stroked his beloved dog Musashi and said with a smile: "Musashi, you should let the girls win once in a while."

Dog lover Mao Lilan couldn't help but approach them to chat, "That's amazing, they are all so cute."

Conan also said: "They will pick up the ball!"

"Yes, Golden Retriever and Irish Setter are a breed of hunting dogs originally bred for the purpose of hunting birds with real guns." Tsutsumi Eisuke said with a smile.

Yagisawa also smiled and continued, "So they are very good at finding prey and retrieving prey."

"We usually visit the Tsutsumi family and play in their yard. We came today because we heard that a dog activity area has been opened in Beika Park." Yagisawa Manami said with a smile.

"We thought we'd give it a try, and it turns out the venue is even wider than we expected." Timiri was obviously very satisfied with this. "Kerr and Musashi both had a lot of fun."

"That's what I mean." Mao Lilan looked at the venue and smiled and said, "The feeling of seeing the endless space is so comfortable!"

Conan had a question, "Hey, you mean the Tsutsumi family, are they the ones who live in that big house on 4th chome?"

"Eh?" Tsutsumi Misuke and Tsutsumi Ri were stunned when they heard that.

Yagisawa Hiroshi at the side smiled and said, "Yes, it's the president who lives in that big house. We met by chance when we were taking the dogs out for a walk. When they were both about five months old."

Yagisawa Manami also smiled and said, "Kerr and Musashi are childhood sweethearts."

"Is that so? Childhood sweethearts." Mao Lilan couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder where my Musashi is wandering around?"

Conan was speechless when he heard this. Please, can you please not use dogs as metaphors?

When Mouri Ran and Conan were watching the dog, a client came to the Mouri Detective Agency, and they happened to meet him when they were returning home.

"It's like this," said the client, Nakatani Yoshiko. "My neighbor is the president of a company. He has a dog called Musashi, an Irish Setter."

When Mao Lilan and Conan heard this, they were shocked.

"The Musashi you mentioned will bark or growl every time he sees you, right?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"Yes!" Nakatani Raiko nodded. "Anyway, it's really a big dog. I'm so scared that I don't know what to do when I think about it attacking me. Mr. Maori, please help me think of a solution."

Kogoro Mori felt helpless when he heard this. How could this be the case? "Asking me to find a solution for this kind of thing is really..." It's a bit of an overreaction.

"My husband, who works, and I moved in three years ago. The couple next door moved in around the same time. Our house and the house next door originally belonged to the same owner.

Our house was previously occupied by the owner's parents, so the only thing separating it from the yard next door was a very low fence. Musashi's size was already comparable to the bushes. So every time I was in the yard, I was worried that Musashi would jump over the fence and attack me.

Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said tentatively: "How about replacing the fence with a higher wall?"

After all, it is people's freedom to keep dogs in their own yards.

Even though the dog-keeping laws in Tokyo are very strict, this is still within the scope permitted by the law.

There is nothing you can do if you are afraid, so just build a wall for yourself.

Nakatani Raiko said excitedly, "I want to do this, but my husband said that we should just keep it like this. Even his mother who doesn't live with us said the same thing."

When she heard that it was an Irish Setter named Musashi, Ran couldn't help but interrupt, "Um, Musashi is the dog of the Tsutsumi family, right?"

"Why, do you know him?" asked Kogoro Mouri curiously.

"Yes, Musashi is indeed a big dog, but..." Mao Lilan added: "It is very docile. I don't think it would growl at people for no reason, let alone attack people."

As a "master of Ran", Conan went up to Nakatani Raiko and said, "Auntie, did you do something that Musashi hates?"

Nakatani Raiko was very angry when she heard this and shouted at Conan: "Nonsense, I didn't do anything to it, it's so rude."

He stood up angrily and said, "How rude! Forget it, I don't need your help, Detective Maori. If anything happens to me, Mr. Maori, it will all be your fault, you know that!"

"This..." Maori Kogoro said with an apologetic smile: "Um, Ms. Laizi..."

Without waiting for Kogoro Mori to finish his words, Nakatani Yoriko turned around and left the Mori Detective Agency.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro complained to Maori Ran and Conan in a bad mood: "Really, why are you talking so much!"
