Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

On the balcony, a man in a casual sports suit was lying on the ground. Kogoro Mouri walked forward and observed that the man had no vital signs.

The corpse's head was cracked, and there were many overturned flower pots around its head and neck. It looked like the death was caused by a flower pot hitting the head.

After confirming that the person lying on the ground could not be saved, Maori Kogoro turned his head and looked at the man standing at the balcony entrance: "Who are you?"

The man said his name was Tetsuo Tsuchihashi. Maori Kogoro grabbed Tetsuo Tsuchihashi by the collar and said, "You killed him, didn't you?"

When Tetsuo Dohashi heard the accusation, he quickly denied it: "I didn't kill him!"

This time, Mao Lilan didn't have to fight the murderer, so she took the initiative to call the police.

The police arrived very quickly, and of course, it was Megure Juzo.

When Megure Jusan saw this group of people, he was a little speechless.

Why are you guys here again?!

But Megure Juzo was too polite to say anything. He cleared his throat and began the routine questioning again. This time no one said they had seen the crime.

Megure Jusan nodded calmly, yes, this feels right.

The forensic personnel nearby came forward to record the scene and collect evidence. Megure Jusan stroked his chin and listened to Maori Kogoro's speculation on the cause of death: "The cause of death should be contusion of the back of the head. According to my speculation, the murderer probably swung the flower pot from behind the victim and smashed it at the victim."

Of course, there were not only the police officers and Kogoro Mouri on the balcony. Conan Edogawa had been observing here for quite a while. His reduced height allowed him to easily see the marks of knocks on the railings.

Conan Edogawa immediately provided information to the police officers in a childish and innocent tone: "Inspector! There are traces of being hit by a sharp weapon on the railing here! Could this trace have anything to do with the incident?"

Maori Kogoro was very upset with the behavior of Edogawa Conan, a little kid, wandering around the scene. He walked over, grabbed Edogawa Conan by the back of his collar, picked him up, and threw him into the living room: "You little brat! Really! Don't interrupt when the adults are searching for evidence!"

Edogawa Conan sat down on the ground, crossed his arms over his chest, and made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound.

Megure Juzo did not ignore the person talking just because the person talking was a child. Instead, he squatted down and observed the place that Edogawa Conan had just pointed at very seriously and rigorously.

After careful comparison, I feel that what Edogawa Conan said makes sense. There are indeed traces on the railings, and they are very new traces, as if they appeared not long ago.

Mao Lilan also heard what Edogawa Conan said, and remembered what Shan Hai Jing had just whispered in her ear, that the little bird on the side of the road said that it was knocked unconscious by a hard object while flying in the air.

I always feel that the two can be connected, but how?

After inspecting the scene, Megure Juzo began to understand the interpersonal situation at the scene.

The deceased was named Ryusuke Imoto, the 39-year-old president of NEED Real Estate Company.

The first discoverer was the deceased's wife, Ms. Guizi, 37 years old, who was the woman in red who ran downstairs to ask for help. She still doesn't seem to have recovered and has been sitting on the chair since she entered the door.

When Si Xuanyu and Mao Lilan arrived, the man standing in front of the corpse was called Tetsuo Dohashi, 55 years old, who currently runs an imported grocery business.

Tetsuo Dohashi is not only Ryusuke Imoto's former boss, but also his matchmaker. Today he came to see Ryusuke Imoto for work matters.

The man with glasses and a mustache who entered the apartment building after Si Xuanyu and Mao Lilan was named Norio Terasawa. He was 43 years old and lived on the fifth floor of the apartment building. He used to run a fishing tackle store.

The reason why I said it was in the past is because Norio Terasawa's shop had been occupied by Ryusuke Imoto.

According to Norio Terasawa, it was Ryusuke Imoto who took advantage of legal loopholes and stole his store.

When describing the situation, Norio Terasawa was unable to control his emotions and claimed that Ryusuke Imoto was a very bad man.

It was also revealed that Takako and Tetsuo Dohashi, who were present at the scene, might have had similar experiences with Ryusuke Imoto.

When Megure Juzo and Edogawa Conan heard this, they felt inexplicably comfortable in their hearts. The stage of suspects biting each other began. Sure enough, compared with the previous art museum case, this is now the normal rhythm of solving the case!

Of course, neither Edogawa Conan nor Megure Juzo showed this secret feeling.

Megure Juzo followed up with another question about the two people who were related to the deceased: "So, what do you think of Mr. Terazawa's statement? Please tell me!"

Tetsuo Dohashi adhered to the principle of striking first and took the lead, saying, "Yes, I am his matchmaker. Of course, this may not be the right thing to say now. Imoto and his wife are in the process of divorce, and they are arguing over alimony. If Imoto dies, Takako will not get alimony, but she will inherit a large sum of money."

Takako couldn't sit still after hearing this. She stood up and walked towards Tetsuo Tsuchihashi, "What are you talking about? Mr. Tsuchihashi, your company was about to go bankrupt, so you came to my husband to borrow money several times, but you were rejected, right? So you were very angry and killed him by accident?"

Of course, Tetsuo Dohashi strongly denied Takako's statement, saying that it was impossible.

Seeing that the two men suddenly became tense, Megure Jusan hurriedly stepped forward to mediate and separated the two men: "Forget it, Madam, calm down!"

After that, Megure Juzo caught up with them and confirmed with the man in the service room who had been following him that the only entrance in and out of the apartment building was the lobby downstairs.

Moreover, apart from the victim, the only three people who entered and left today were Takako, Tetsuo Dobashi, and Norio Terasawa.

Of course, Si Xuanyu, Mao Lilan and others are not included. After all, they are just enthusiastic citizens, and they came up with everyone else to see the corpse, so they can be directly excluded from the scope of the case investigation.

Thus, the criminal was narrowed down to three people with motives.

Megure Jusan first looked at the first discoverer, Takako: "Then, Ms. Takako, please tell me the details of when you found the body!"

Guizi sat back in a chair and began to recount what happened today: "I came to the apartment building a little after five o'clock today."

Before she could finish, the man in the service room picked up the record book and added, "To be precise, it should be around five minutes past five. I have recorded all the people coming in and out of the building!"
