Conan wants to lie down but won't let him
Chapter 103: Reasoning Showdown, Sniper at the Middle Gate
Facing the challenge from Hattori Heiji, Conan's desire to win was also ignited.
"The deceased is Tsujimura Isao, 54 years old! And you guys happened to be at the scene where the body was found!"
Inspector Megure's initial excitement at seeing Brother Mori and Brother Fujiwara has turned into helplessness. Whenever he sees these people, a case is bound to occur.
Oh, yes, and Conan is there almost every time. Thinking about it this way, Fujiwara-san’s analysis last time is not unreasonable.
Indeed, Conan is always present in cases where Fujiwara Hiroshi is present. Conan is also present in cases where Fujiwara Hiroshi is absent but Maori Kogoro is present. Furthermore, in cases where Maori Kogoro and Fujiwara Hiroshi are absent, and cases discovered by the Teitan Three Silly Kids, Conan is still present!
This time and twice were coincidences, but Conan was there every time, so it can't be explained by coincidence. Inspector Megure put his hand on his chin and looked at Conan in deep thought.
"Yes, that's right! Inspector Megure! It's me, Maori Kogoro!" Maori Kogoro saluted unceremoniously! This voice interrupted Inspector Megure's thoughts.
I didn't think about it further. After all, this was a murder case, and they were here to solve the case, not to explore whether Conan had the aura of the god of death.
"So, this is a murder case, Brother Mouri!" Inspector Megure said to Kogoro Mouri with a look of disgust.
"Well... I don't see any obvious external injuries on him, maybe..." Kogoro Mouri probably meant to say sudden death!
"Look at the body more carefully! This must have been poisoned! The deceased was poisoned to death by someone.
Look, apart from a small red dot on the edge of his hair roots, there was also an iron needle dropped next to the body, which was suspected to be the murder weapon!
Although the deceased died with his hand on his cheek, I think he was probably killed with a poison needle and deliberately put in this position."
Hattori Heiji reasoned confidently, analyzing the clues he had obtained previously.
"But this may also be a suicide case!" Kogoro Mouri said unconvinced.
Okay, the possibility of suicide has been ruled out. Believe in the Maori elimination method, you will never go wrong!
"Don't you understand by now? Look at this body. The deceased's lips and the tips of his hands and feet are starting to turn purple, and there are blood spots on his corneas. These are all evidence of death by suffocation.
However, there were no signs of strangulation or drowning. Therefore, the most likely scenario was that the murderer had poisoned the victim to paralyze his nerves, and the poison used was a highly lethal one!
Furthermore, judging by the body temperature and the lack of rigor mortis or livor mortis on the deceased, he must have been poisoned by the murderer within 30 minutes before we entered the study! And the murderer was right near this house!
Hattori Heiji deduced and analyzed many things in one breath, and even determined the time of death of the deceased.
Now, this is called professionalism!
Hattori Heiji spoke very logically, but except for Conan and Fujiwara Hiroshi, everyone else present looked confused!
Especially Kogoro Mouri, no, we all found the body at the scene together. How did you find so many things in such a short time?
Hattori Heiji was observing Mori Kogoro, speechless. Was this a mistake? This was the level of Mori Kogoro, who had risen to fame after Kudo Shinichi's disappearance?
Then it seems that Kudo Shinichi's level is definitely not that good. Where is Kanto's level? If it was a little better, someone of Mouri Kogoro's level would not be able to succeed so well.
"Brother Maori, how come there is a foreign black detective at the scene?" Inspector Megure asked Maori Kogoro while looking at Hattori Heiji who was working non-stop over there.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding me? I just look a little darker, but I'm not a foreign black person!" Hattori Heiji said angrily.
"Oh, his name is Hattori Heiji, and he's an arrogant young detective!" Kogoro Mouri looked at Inspector Megure as if he had misunderstood something, and answered.
"Hattori Heiji, it's you! You must be the high school son of the current Osaka Police Chief, Hattori Heizo!"
Inspector Megure turned around and said in surprise.
"He is the son of the chief of the Osaka Police Station?" Now it was Kogoro Mouri's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that Hattori Heiji had such an identity.
However, Fujiwara Hiroshi was very calm. Not to mention that he already knew the identity of Hattori Heiji, even if he didn't know, Hattori Heiji's identity was still not enough in front of him.
"Strange! This guy named Hattori looks like Shinichi!" Xiaolan looked at Hattori Heiji who was talking at the crime scene, and saw the shadow of Kudo Shinichi in him.
Because if Kudo Shinichi were present at the scene, he would also comment and talk about his discoveries, and he would be very eager to show off and prove himself.
"A-choo!" Conan sneezed again!
"Are you okay, Conan?" The sneeze quickly woke up Xiaolan who was lost in thought, and she immediately greeted Conan with concern!
"Oh no, my cold seems to be getting worse!" Conan sighed secretly with a runny nose. It was all because of that damn guy who made me drink the white liquor!
"All the doors and windows in the study are locked from the inside, so it's impossible to enter or exit from the outside. So the only entrance and exit is that door!
So the person most likely to be the murderer now is the person in your home who has the key to this room.
Mrs. Tsujimura, there should be several sets of keys to this study, right?"
Inspector Megure also began to analyze the case.
"No, there are only two keys here! One is in my hand, and the other is with my husband!"
As she spoke, Kimie Tsujimura took out the keys in her hand. At this time, Kimie Tsujimura had already disposed of the gloves. She quickly disposed of them before the police arrived and did not wear them on her hands.
"On the deceased's body?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.
"That's right! He usually likes to put his keys in his trouser pocket!" Tsujimura Kimie hinted to Inspector Megure calmly.
"Let me take a look!" Inspector Megure said as he walked towards the corpse.
Sure enough, when Inspector Megure turned out the deceased's trouser pockets, a key exactly the same as Tsujimura Kimie's slipped out from the interlayer of the deceased's trouser pocket!
At this moment, Conan and Hattori Heiji were both confused by the key that fell!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Conan roared in his heart.
"How is this possible?" Even Inspector Megure understood, his eyes full of confusion.
"What's wrong?" Only Maori Kogoro, the epitome of adorable cuteness, could ask such a question. Hattori Heiji was now beginning to doubt whether he was really a detective. Could he really solve the case for the police?
"Don't you understand? The study door was clearly locked when we came in. This means the murderer locked the door before leaving after committing the crime.
Now, one of the keys to the study is in the hands of my wife, who has been with us the whole time, and the other is in the middle of the victim's double pocket.
This constitutes a perfect impossible crime, a locked-room murder!"
Hattori Heiji is the best focus person today, Elio Bodai, follow my example!
"A closed-room murder case!?" The victim's son, housekeeper, and all the people involved were all shocked.
"How is this possible?" Kogoro Mouri was also very stupid and realized things very slowly.
"I know this uncle, who was only recently published in the newspaper. Reasoning is not his thing at all. It's Kudo Shinichi! He solved all the cases!
Not necessarily, perhaps the chairman of the Fujiwara Group next to him is also secretly giving credit to this uncle!"
Hattori Heiji firmly thought that Fujiwara Hiroshi should have some ability, but most of the cases should still depend on Kudo Shinichi to solve!
"But it doesn't matter. Let me take a look today. This case is definitely unsolvable based on this confused uncle's reasoning.
Then let me wait and see if this confused uncle will call Kudo Shinichi for help! Very good! Let's compete to see who can solve the truth of this case first! "
Hattori Heiji suddenly became motivated. This was the purpose of his coming to Tokyo to find Kudo Shinichi, just to have a good fight with Kudo Shinichi.
"It's so uncomfortable! I've started to have tinnitus. It's really annoying! First, I was tricked into drinking white liquor by this guy called Hattori Heiji.
Then, he was punched twice by Uncle Mori and Fujiwara Hiroshi! He is now unconscious!"
As Conan's physical condition worsened, he began to complain in his heart.
Hattori Heiji had had enough of the meaningless discussions and exchanges between Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure, so he spoke out to stop them.
"What are you still doing? The crime must have happened between 3:4 and :. It's crucial to find an alibi for the perpetrator during this time!"
"That's true!" Inspector Megure first tactically agreed with Hattori Heiji's point of view, then quickly put his arm around Kogoro Mouri's shoulders, turned Kogoro Mouri around and said.
"Brother Mori! You must not lose to him! Do you want this brat from Osaka to ride on our heads and poop and piss?
I place all my hopes on you, my respected great detective!"
"Oh! Okay... okay..." Kogoro Mouri was directly held up by Inspector Megure. There was nothing he could do. It was impossible for him to refuse under such circumstances. He could only go along with what Inspector Megure said.
"So, Mr. Koike, the housekeeper, you were at the front door between 3:4 and : in the afternoon, chatting with the neighbors, right?" Inspector Megure first asked for the housekeeper's alibi.
"Well, yes!" Mr. Koike replied.
"Mr. Takayoshi and Ms. Sachiko also arrived home shortly before Mrs. Tsujimura, is that right?" Inspector Megure asked the next question.
"Yes! That's right!" the butler answered again.
"So where were you when Mr. Koike came to the gate to pick up Mrs. Tsujimura and bring her home?" Inspector Megure turned around and asked Takayoshi and Sachiko.
"We went to my father's study, but unfortunately the door was locked and he didn't respond when we called him, so we quickly went downstairs." Guishan replied.
"After I came down, I met my mother at the gate immediately." Sachiko added.
"So Mr. Toshimitsu came here after 2 o'clock?" Inspector Megure turned to Tsujimura Toshimitsu and asked.
"Yes, I finally got here, but Axun locked himself 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." Tsujimura Toshimitsu replied.
"So when did Mrs. Kimie go out?" Inspector Megure finally turned to Tsujimura Kimie and asked, which was also a way of asking everyone's timeline one by one.
"I left home before one o'clock!" replied Kimie Tsujimura.
"So, Mr. Koike and Mrs. Tsujimura are excluded from the timeline. The other three currently meet the requirements." Hattori Heiji analyzed in his mind.
"There are quite a lot of music CDs here!" Inspector Megure turned his head and stared at the entire wall of CDs.
"Yes, our master loves classical music very much!" explained the butler.
"It's very strange. We clearly heard the sound of opera when we found the body just now!" Conan's consciousness was almost blurred, but he was still analyzing the case. He is really dedicated!
"Mrs. Tsujimura, what is this photo of?" Inspector Megure noticed the photo on the desk and asked Tsujimura Kimie.
"Why are you asking this? These photos are from 20 years ago!" Tsujimura Kimie did not answer the question directly.
Fortunately, other police officers investigating the scene soon came over and interrupted their conversation.
"Inspector Megure, what should we do with the pile of books on the deceased's desk?"
"Well, let's put it aside for now." Just as Inspector Megure finished making the arrangements, another forensic officer came up and said.
"Inspector Megure, I've discovered something wrong with the key on the victim. The hanging pendant can be opened, and there's tape inside, and there's a small gap in the middle of the key ring."
"This easily reminds me of the poisoned iron needle that stabbed the victim. This must be where the murderer stored the poison needle."
Inspector Megure was also analyzing based on the clues.
"Let me check!" Conan also walked forward slowly, wanting to check these clues, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Suddenly, Conan's whole body shook, and he felt a strong pain in his heart. How to describe this feeling? It was similar to the experience when he turned into a child last time.
But at this moment, Conan just felt that his cold was too serious and the discomfort was a bit torturous.
In fact, Conan didn't know that this was the login interface he switched to on his main account. The signal transmitted by the heart was the real-name authentication stage for logging into the main account.
As soon as the real-name authentication is passed, Kudo Shinichi's big account will log in and return for a limited time.
However, at this time, Conan had already begun to feel dizzy, and Xiaolan also noticed that Conan was abnormal. Conan fell straight down, and Xiaolan picked up the fallen Conan and walked towards another room.
