Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

There is no signal at sea now, but Fujiwara Hiroshi still carries a satellite phone with him, which he keeps in his storage ring. He has already told Ozaki to be ready to completely take over the Hatamoto Group's industries.

(Some friends may ask, since Fujiwara Hiroshi has a satellite phone with him, why didn’t he use it to call Ozaki to pick him up when he missed the last return flight?

What was he thinking? If he had really done that, would he still have the chance to encounter the things that happened later? Isn't Fujiwara Hiroshi hanging around Conan just waiting for the incident to happen, waiting for the opportunity to appear?

"Yes... yes." Butler Suzuki obviously had not recovered yet, and his voice was still trembling.

While Kogoro Mouri was still asking and answering questions, the onlookers were watching it all in silence, brainstorming frantically in their heads, hoping to find a more favorable option for themselves in the next situation.

Fujiwara Hiroshi stayed at the end of the team, watching the scenes of these Hatamoto families fighting for each other, and silently declared in his heart that they were out.

"Forty or fifty minutes ago, at eight o'clock in the evening, where were you?" Kogoro Mouri took a special look at his watch, confirmed the exact time and asked.

The first discoverer of many cases has a major motive and is very likely to be the murderer. Therefore, as a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department with police experience, he naturally focused on questioning the first discoverer, Suzuki Butler.

"I stayed in the restaurant around eight o'clock, preparing dinner." At this time, Butler Suzuki's emotions finally calmed down and he could answer Kogoro Mouri's questions normally.

"Yes, I remember that at that time, Butler Suzuki was indeed busy around us!" The kind-hearted Xiaolan, Mouri Kogoro's good daughter, directly exposed Mouri Kogoro and helped Butler Suzuki to testify.

Well, Kogoro Mouri is still incredibly stable. He has already ruled out one wrong answer. He remains calm and continues with the process.

"Butler Suzuki, the room was locked when you found the body, right?" Although Kogoro Mouri's reasoning was usually wrong, he still had basic professional common sense.

After a brief observation of the scene, the most critical issue was immediately raised, which was to first determine the initial state of the room.

"Yes." Butler Suzuki nodded and replied.

"How do you lock it?" Kogoro Mouri asked further.

"Once it's locked from the inside, you can't get in without this key." Butler Suzuki answered and took out a key from his pocket to explain.

"The window of the room is not open, and the only entrance is locked. This means it is impossible to break in from the outside. In other words, this room is completely sealed!"

Kogoro Mori directly drew the conclusion and concluded.

"Sealed...sealed?" Hatamoto Akie became the supporting actor today and continued what Mouri Kogoro was saying.

"Could it be suicide?" It seems that Shoji Hatamoto has more knowledge in this area than others. After hearing the secret, he began to speculate that it was suicide.

"No way?" Hatamoto Mariko instinctively resisted this answer. Judging from her previous attitude, she seemed determined to win the Hatamoto Group.

So when she heard the option of suicide, she gave this answer without thinking carefully, because suicide meant there was no murderer.

The absence of a murderer means one more person to divide the inheritance, and for those who are obsessed with money, there is only money in their eyes.

It doesn’t matter what the matter is, what the answer is, or what the truth is. What matters is how to maximize your own interests.

If she knew that her son was the murderer, I wonder how she would feel. But that’s another story.

"But, it's strange. If it was suicide, the things that should have been with the body are not here..." Today, Kogoro Mouri really deserves the title of detective and he is quite capable.

Everyone in the Hatamoto family, including Xiaolan, opened their eyes wide and were a little surprised. They had no idea what Mori Kogoro was referring to.

Among the people present, apart from Mouri Kogoro who mentioned this matter, only Fujiwara Hiroshi and Conan already knew what Mouri Kogoro was talking about.

Even for Kogoro Mouri's performance tonight, Conan wanted to give him a thumbs up. Compared with Kogoro Mouri's usual performance, it was indeed an extraordinary performance.

"It's the murder weapon!!" Kogoro Mouri had no habit of keeping people in suspense, and he directly stated the biggest loophole in the assumption that it was suicide.

"The cause of death was a knife wound to the abdomen, resulting in excessive bleeding."

If it was suicide, the murder weapon would not have disappeared on its own in this completely enclosed room and would have definitely been found around the deceased's body.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro looked around the room and did not find any objects similar to murder weapons, so he ruled out the possibility of suicide.

"Maybe it's sharp ice or something!" At this time, Ryuo Hatamoto, who was leaning against the door frame, suddenly spoke.

It seems that Ryuo Hatamoto has read a lot of detective novels. He is more advanced in thinking than others and can even think of using sharp ice as a weapon.

Then, once the ice melts, the murder weapon will naturally disappear. This plot is used in many detective novels.

"Isn't this a common plot in mystery novels? The ice melts after a while." As expected, Ryuo Hatamoto mentioned this operation method.

"Then let me ask you, would someone who commits suicide do that?" Is this still the Maori Kogoro we all know? How to say it in a reliable way, and with reason and evidence.

If faced with such a rebuttal in the past, Kogoro Mouri would have collapsed long ago, but now he can still answer this question seriously.

When it comes to using methods like melting ice, it is usually done by the murderer in order to kill someone. For a person who commits suicide normally, who would think of creating a method to make their murder weapon disappear?

This conclusion is obviously untenable. It can only be said that the method proposed by Ryuo Hatamoto is theoretically feasible.

"This must be Grandpa's trick! He's long suspected that some people present are coveting his property, so he's using this method to punish everyone.

Of course, the people I just mentioned do not include Xia Jiang. Isn't that right, kindhearted Xia Jiang?"

As the wife of Hatamoto Ryuo, Hatamoto Akie stood up to support her husband's argument and also deliberately disgusted Xia Jiang.
