In Conan, we build a criminal gang

Chapter 211: Very Unlucky

At nine o'clock in the evening, Kogoro Mouri, who was already drunk, was sleeping soundly on the sofa when he was suddenly woken up by Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, come on, I was sleeping soundly, why did you wake me up! And why did you ask me to apologize to that guy?" Maori Kogoro complained while rubbing his eyes. He stood up staggeringly, looking like a drunk gorilla, and almost fell to the ground.

In the aisle, Maori Kogoro tried to keep his balance, but he still seemed a little shaky. He squinted at Xiaolan and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiaolan knocked on the door of Ji Yingli's room, turned to Maori Kogoro and said, "Because you didn't give what you should have given."

"What?" Maori Kogoro was confused. He tried to recall but couldn't remember what he hadn't given. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Did I not give anything? I have no recollection of it."

Xiaolan glanced at her watch and said to Kogoro Maori, "It's okay, it's still three minutes away." She didn't seem to be in a hurry and waited patiently.

Maori Kogoro frowned, trying to understand Xiaolan's words, but the alcohol made his thinking dull. He shook his head helplessly and decided to follow Xiaolan's arrangements.

"Ding dong!"

Xiaolan knocked on the door a few times, but there was silence in the room, and no one responded. She couldn't help but feel a little confused, and said to herself: "Hey, isn't Mom in the room? Or has she fallen asleep!" She raised her voice and shouted again.

After a while, a lazy voice finally came from the room: "Who is it?"

Xiaolan quickly replied: "Ah, it's me. I have something to ask you. Please open the door."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Ji Yingli's voice came: "What's the matter? Can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"

Although her tone was somewhat dissatisfied, Ji Yingli still walked to the door and slowly unlocked it. As the door hinges turned, the door gradually opened and Ji Yingli appeared at the door in a bathrobe.

Maori Kogoro, who was still a little confused, suddenly widened his eyes and woke up completely after hearing the voice. He exclaimed loudly: "What are you wearing, idiot!"

However, Ji Yingli was unmoved. She retorted impatiently: "I'm taking a shower! Is that not okay?"

Maori Kogoro was a little speechless, but Ji Yingli didn't care and looked at Xiaolan and asked: "Okay, tell me what's the matter, but I don't have anything to say to this bearded man."

Ji Yingli sneered, ignored Maori Kogoro, and turned to walk into the room. At this moment, she suddenly saw a foot beside the bed, and when she got closer, she screamed in fright.

"Ms. Kokubun, cheer up."

Maori Kogoro, who was outside the door, heard Ji Yingli's scream, and his heart tightened, and he immediately rushed into the room. He saw a corpse lying on the ground at a glance, and his face turned pale instantly.

……

The police who received the alarm call arrived quickly, and this time the person who came was also their acquaintance, Officer Yokomizo.

"I see. You returned to this room after dinner at around 11 o'clock in the evening. Just when you were taking a shower, Mr. Maori, his daughter and these two children came to see you, right?" Yokomizo asked Ji Eri.

"And then you found this body?"

Conan had already gone in to look for clues. After all, Ji Yingli was his mother-in-law. Besides, she was the queen of the legal profession. He didn't believe that Ji Yingli would kill someone.

Qin Tian was speechless. He had come here just to celebrate his birthday, but he had to encounter such a thing. He sighed and decided to wait and see what happened.

"Yes, we found the body." replied Kogoro Mori.

"So, did you move anything at the scene?" Yokomizo continued to ask.

"No, we found the body as soon as we came in and called the police immediately," said Kogoro Mouri.

"Very good, then please don't leave here for the time being. I need to investigate further." Yokomizo said.

Conan looked around the room and noticed that the deceased's cell phone was on the table with an unread text message on the screen. He opened the message and saw that it said: "See you in the hotel lobby at 10 o'clock tonight."

Conan's mind was moved. This text message seemed to imply that the deceased had an appointment with someone. He handed the phone to Officer Yokomizo and told him his discovery.

Officer Yokomizo took the phone, looked at the text message, frowned and said, "It seems that the deceased made an appointment to meet someone here, but who is this person?"

After thinking for a while, Conan suddenly remembered the mysterious man he met at the elevator entrance. He felt that the man was very suspicious, maybe he was the one who had agreed to meet the deceased.

"Officer Yokomizo, I think we should check the hotel's surveillance video to see if we can find the person who agreed to meet the deceased," Conan suggested.

Officer Yokomizo nodded in agreement and immediately arranged for his men to go to the hotel's surveillance room to check the video. At the same time, he also asked other police officers to conduct a careful investigation of the scene to look for more clues.

Conan continued to look for other possible evidence in the room. He hoped to find the real murderer as soon as possible and clear Ji Yingli's name.

The medical examiner then said, "Officer Yokomizo, the autopsy report is out. Based on the rigor mortis and livor mortis, the deceased died between 10 and 11 a.m. The cause of death was beating. She was hit in the back of the head with a blunt object, which I have not yet discovered."

"Yes." Yokomizo looked at Ji Yingli and asked, "You know the victim, right, lawyer..."

Ji Yingli nodded: "My name is Ji Yingli, she is my client, her name is Kunibu Akiho, she was stalked and harassed before... I was planning to meet with the stalker's mother in this room tomorrow to conduct arbitration negotiations."

"Then why did she appear in your room?" Officer Yokomizo frowned and asked seriously.

Ji Yingli remained calm and replied, "In the evening, she suddenly came to me and said that she had a quarrel with her husband and wanted to stay in my room for one night. I agreed, and then she fell asleep on the sofa."

"Oh? So that's how it is..." Officer Yokomizo nodded slightly, but there was still a look of doubt on his face, "But this doesn't fully explain why she died here."

Ji Yingli seemed to have expected this and continued, "Of course, I also called her husband and told him that I would not be in this room before 11 o'clock and asked him to pick her up when the time was almost up."

"So her husband didn't come to pick her up?" Officer Yokomizo asked again.

Qin Tian stood aside, his eyes fell on the body on the ground, and he secretly complained in his heart: Most likely it was her husband who killed her. She didn't know how to die far away. Her husband was probably not a good person either. It's a pity that I haven't seen him, otherwise I would have killed him together. Bah, it's really unlucky.
