Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Yeah! There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious in the room?" Officer Yamamura listened to the police officer's report and said hesitantly:

"There are no signs of violent intrusion on the doors or windows of the room, and there are no signs of missing any of Ms. Ritsuko's personal belongings,"

"Except for the bottle of sleeping pills with the cap open on the bedside table, no other suspicious items were found... It looks like Miss Ritsuko committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, right?"

After speaking, he looked at Yu Gongming cautiously, as if a student was waiting for the teacher's comments after answering the question.

Akira Hanomiya looked at Police Officer Yamamura with some humor, and then said: "If it is suicide, then many things will not make sense."

"Oh? What do you think of Detective Hanomiya?" Police Officer Yamamura looked at Akira Hanomiya expectantly.

Akira Hanomiya considered his words and said: "First of all, about six or seven minutes before I came to see Miss Ritsuko, we had just come out of her room. At that time, she was still alive and well. This is because Multiple witnesses can attest.”

"Oh? Who is there?" Police Officer Yamamura asked.

Yu Gongming glanced outside the door: "Can you let them in?"

"Of course no problem!" Officer Yamamura nodded.

Yu Gongming waved to the door: "Xiaolan, Aunt Yingli, Mengyu, Conan, please come in."

Several people outside the door also heard the conversation between Han Gongming and Police Officer Yamamura. After hearing this, they entered the room one after another without much hesitation.

Police officer Yamacun looked at the few people: "Excuse me, are you..."

Meng Yu and others introduced themselves one after another.

Officer Yamamura recorded in his notebook for a while, then suddenly looked at Conan: "Huh? Isn't this kid named Conan the one who was with Ms. Yukiko in the Yabuchi family inheritance case last time?"

"Officer Yamamura still remembers me?" Conan smiled.

Police Officer Yamamura nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I remember that case confused me. Thanks to Ms. Yukiko and Conan's reminder, I was able to find out the truth of the case step by step! It is indeed the work of the mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku Son?"

"Huh? Is he Yukiko's child?" Fei Yingli looked at Conan in confusion.

Conan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he was ready to beat Police Officer Yamamura to death.

He rolled his eyes and hurriedly explained: "Police Officer Yamamura! Aunt Yukiko is just taking care of me temporarily. She is not my mother!"

"Eh? Is that so? Last time I saw you and Ms. Yukiko were inseparable, and finally left with Mr. Yusaku. I thought you were their child!"

"No! It's just that my parents happened to know Aunt Yukiko, so they asked her to help take care of me!" Conan continued.

"Although I also want to have such a biological brother, it's a pity that Conan is not." Mengyu also came out to explain.

"Your parents?" Officer Yamamura looked at Mengyu and then at the notepad: "Kudo... are you..."

"Yes, you are right that Ms. Yukiko and Mr. Yusaku are my parents." Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Oh! It turns out she is the daughter of the Kudo family. How rude!" Officer Yamamura's eyes lit up:

"As a member of the Kudo family, Miss Mengyu must have strong reasoning skills, right?"

Meng Yu smiled: "It's okay, but if you want to solve the case, you should go to A Ming, he is the professional."

Yu Gongming coughed lightly: "Officer, don't you want to question the witness? Let's start quickly."

"Oh oh oh! Look at me, I have completely forgotten about the real thing." Officer Yamamura slapped his forehead and his expression finally became serious:

"According to Detective Hanomiya, you entered Miss Ritsuko's room a few minutes before she was found unconscious, right?"

Fei Yingli nodded slightly: "Yes, I came to this room to find my husband. After finding my husband, we left."

"Why is your husband in Miss Ritsuko's room?" Officer Yamamura asked.

Fei Yingli's face darkened: "He was drunk and went to the wrong room."

"Is that so...Did Ms. Ritsuko act unusually at that time?" Officer Yamamura asked.

"No, it's quite normal. It doesn't look like he's committing suicide anyway." Meng Yu said lightly.

Police Officer Yamamura nodded, then looked at Akira Hanomiya: "After you left the room, about six or seven minutes later, Detective Hanomiya and the waiter came to the door of the room, right?"

"Yes, this is the second reason why I think he did not commit suicide." Yu Gongming replied:

"When the waiter and I knocked on the door, no one answered the door for a long time. Then I pressed it against the door and listened, but I heard faint footsteps inside."

"Then we knocked on the door again, but no one opened the door. I suspected something happened inside, so I asked the waiter to open the door with the master key, and then I found Miss Ritsuko fainted on the bed."

"Hmm..." Officer Yamamura held his chin and thought: "Could it be that when you knocked on the door, Miss Ritsuko had already planned to commit suicide, so she didn't open the door for you? The footsteps Detective Hanomiya heard was Miss Ritsuko's reply. The sound of lying down on the bed?”

"That's certainly a possibility, but there's a third point."

"That's this note!" Conan's voice came from the side.

Officer Yamamura instinctively looked over and saw Conan wrapping a crumpled piece of paper in a handkerchief.

"Look, the note paper on the bedside table has been torn again, and judging from the break marks, it seems to have been torn very hastily."

"And the note in my hand was found from the trash can, and there are some words written on it!"

Officer Yamamura leaned over and took the note from Conan, unfolding it: "There is a number 2 on it, and there is also the word "林"."

Fei Yingli came over and took a look: "This is Miss Ritsuko's handwriting."

Police officer Yamamura frowned slightly: "What does this 2 and Lin mean?"

Fei Yingli's eyes flickered slightly, and she said hesitantly: "This should refer to the lawyer Lin who will handle the case with Miss Ritsuko next time in court, right?"

"That's right! I came here to see that customer because of the entrustment of Mr. Lin!" The waiter outside the door seemed to have heard the conversation between several people and echoed loudly.

After hearing this, police officer Yamacun asked the waiter to come in and asked, "What does Mr. Lin want to do with this guest?"

"Well, he said he wanted to change the meeting time from two o'clock to four o'clock."

Yu Gongming smiled and said: "In this way, we are on the same page. How can a person who wants to meet his partner's lawyer suddenly commit suicide?"

"And this paper was torn off the note pad. Could it be that someone didn't want us to see the writing on the note pad?"

"Well! This is indeed very suspicious..." Police Officer Yamamura agreed with Akira Hanamiya's statement, but the next moment, he frowned: "But there is a problem..."

"Didn't Detective Hanomiya and the waiter enter the room together? Ritsuko-san must have been the only one in the room at that time, right?"

"If this is a homicide case, and the footsteps Detective Hanomiya heard belong to the murderer, then where did the murderer go?"
