Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

Mao Lilan was caught off guard by such a big news. Her pupils were dilated and she couldn't help but shout out: "What?!"

Everyone was attracted by Mao Lilan's voice and looked over: "What's wrong?"

Mao Lilan still hadn't figured out what was going on. Facing everyone's questions, she could only laugh dryly and scratch her head: "Nothing, nothing. I'm sorry to bother you all. Please continue."

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, no one pursued the matter. The main task now was to interrogate the suspect, and Mao Lilan, an irrelevant person, was not important.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had left her, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head again and asked Si Xuanyu quietly: "Xuanyu, is what you said true?"

Shan Hai Jing helped Si Xuanyu testify: "It's true, we saw him breathing, and his stomach was rising and falling."

Weird.

With the world consciousness, they couldn't see clearly what was happening when the person was sitting at the desk. Even if they deliberately got closer to the desk, they could only feel a hazy feeling.

But it doesn't matter. Si Xuanyu and Shan Hai Jing know the plot anyway, so it doesn't matter if they make up a story: "Since this person was still alive when we came in, it is possible that he was killed by one of us who was present at the time. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately used a delay device and used us as knives, or the poison took a long time to take effect."

Shan Hai Jing said seriously: "But I think it is more likely that someone who was present at the time killed him."

Mao Lilan touched her chin and thought. The only people present at that time were Hattori Heiji and the client Tsujimura Kimie, besides them.

It seemed that Hattori Heiji was standing near the stereo with Edogawa Conan studying some opera at that time. Moreover, Hattori Heiji had never met the deceased before, and they had no grudges or enmity against each other in the past or present, so he would definitely not kill him.

Then the only one who is here to investigate is Kimie Tsujimura, right?

It is also certain that she was the only one who approached the deceased, but it is too bizarre that the murderer took the initiative to lead the detective to the scene and then killed the person in front of so many detectives.

Mao Lilan frowned and did not say anything directly. It would be a bad idea to rashly accuse Tsujimura Kimie of murder before finding any evidence.

On the other hand, the police have verified the suspects' timeline based on Hattori Heiji's advice.

Megure Juzo took a notebook and recorded the confession: "So, Mr. Koike, the housekeeper, you said that you were chatting with the neighbors at the gate from 3 to 4 pm, right?"

Koike Fumio nodded: "Yes."

Megure Jusan continued to ask, "Ms. Sachiko and Mr. Takayoshi also arrived shortly before Mrs. Gongjiang returned home, is that right?"

Koike Fumio reaffirmed Megure Juzo's statement: "Yes, that's right."

Megure Jusan turned to look at Katsuragi Sachiko and Tsujimura Takayoshi, "So where were you when Mr. Koike went to the gate to welcome Mrs. Kimie home?"

Takayoshi Tsujimura broke out in a cold sweat. "We went to my father's study, but the door was locked. We called him but he didn't respond, so we quickly went downstairs again."

Katsuragi Sachiko continued: "After I came down, I met my mother at the gate right away."

Megure Jusan said he understood, and then continued to ask the next person: "So Mr. Rimitsu came here after 2 o'clock?"

Tsujimura Toshimitsu nodded: "Yes, I finally got here, but Ah Xun was locked in the study, and Gong Jiang went out first. I felt bored, so I stayed in the living room next to the study and watched TV."

Megure Jusan wrote furiously, and finally looked at Tsujimura Kimie who might also be a suspect: "So when did Mrs. Kimie go out!"

Kimie Tsujimura said that he left home before one o'clock.

The timeline of several suspects was revealed. Hattori Heiji, who listened to the whole process, rested his chin on his hand and thought: So, apart from Mr. Koike and Mrs. Kimie, the people who were closest to the victim at the time of the crime are the other three people who are more likely.

Megure Juzo was inspecting the study room when he saw a large number of records on the bookshelf: "Oh, there are quite a lot of records here!"

Fumio Koike, who was standing by, replied, "Yes, because our master has always loved listening to classical music."

Conan Edogawa on the side felt that he could not hold on any longer and kept gasping for breath, but he still kept paying attention to the suspects and the situation at the scene.

When Edogawa Conan heard what Koike Fumio said, he felt strange.

Classical music? But when they found the body, opera was playing in the study.

Megure Jusan looked at it and found a photo on the bookshelf: "Mrs. Gongjiang, this is it?"

Conan Edogawa wanted to look at the photo in Megure Juzo's hand, but found that everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Edogawa Conan's heart sank. Oops, even his vision began to blur. He rubbed his eyes hard, trying to alleviate the problem.

Mrs. Gongjiang seemed to be somewhat disgusted and resistant to Megure Jusan's asking about the photos. She stepped forward and took the photos from Megure Jusan's hand: "Why are you asking this? These are old photos from 20 years ago."

At this time, a police officer nearby ran over to ask Megure Jusan: "Inspector! What should we do with the books on the desk?"

Megure Jusan tilted his head and looked over: "Just leave it there for now."

Feeling a little relieved, Edogawa Conan felt as if he had grasped some key words.

Book?

By the way, there was indeed a pile of hardcover books in front of the deceased.

Edogawa Conan looked at the bookshelf behind the desk again, where there was a large empty space.

The pile of books looked as if they had been taken directly from the bookshelf.

Megure Jusan was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at something in front of a bookshelf, when another police officer came over to report: "Inspector, the key on the deceased seems unusual."

"what?"

The police officer picked up the key and showed it to Megure Jusan: "After opening this keychain, there is a piece of tape stuck inside."

Hattori Heiji came over to check the tape that the police officer mentioned.

What is this? There is a small gap in the middle of the keychain.

The famous detective Edogawa Conan certainly wouldn't miss any clues. He held on, stretched out his hand like a zombie, and moved closer to the evidence: "Let me see it, too!"

Before he reached his destination, Edogawa Conan shuddered all over, and he couldn't help but cover his chest and curl up his body.

Well, it hurts!

This time it was chest pain!

I have to solve the case quickly!

Megure Jusan felt that the time between the murders and the average time it took Kogoro Maori to solve a case was about the same as that of Kogoro Maori. He walked over and put his arm around Kogoro Maori's shoulders. "You should have some clues now, Detective Maori."

Maori Kogoro: “Not yet.”

Hattori Heiji on the other side seemed to have thought of something: "Wait a minute, could that be..."
