The body was still warm, and the lips had turned purple. There was a small needle hole behind the ear, which meant that… Hattori Heiji found a small needle on the ground. After a while, a fat police officer came here. It was Officer Megure. "The body's name is Tatsumura Isao, 54 years old, and there was a detective at the scene where the body was found."

Kogoro saluted habitually and smiled, "Yes, it's me, Officer Megure."

Officer Megure rolled his eyes, "This is a murder case, brother Mori."

"Hey, I don't see any obvious external injuries on him, uh, maybe..."

Hattori Heiji interrupted, "Look at the body more carefully, this must be poisoning, the deceased was poisoned to death by someone."

"Look, in addition to a small red dot on the edge of his hair root, there is also an iron needle next to the body that is suspected to be a murder weapon."

"Although the deceased died with his hand on his cheek, I think he was stabbed and deliberately posed in this position."

Kogoro retorted disdainfully, "But this It could also be a suicide case. "

Hattori Heiji said speechlessly: "You still don't understand. Look at the body. The lips and the tips of the hands and feet of the deceased have begun to turn purple, and there are bleeding spots on the conjunctiva. These are all evidence of suffocation. "

Then he analyzed: "But there is no sign of strangulation or drowning here. "

"Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the murderer poisoned the deceased to paralyze the nerves, and used a highly toxic poison that kills instantly. "

"In addition, judging from the body temperature of the deceased and the fact that there is no post-mortem stiffness and dead spots on the deceased, he must have been poisoned by the murderer within 30 minutes before we entered the study, and the murderer was near this house. "

Everyone was speechless after being shocked by Hattori Heiji's reasoning.

At this time, Conan sneered in his heart,

Just pretend! In the end, your reasoning will still be wrong, just wait to be slapped in the face.

Officer Megure broke the silence and asked Kogoro, "Mori, who is this young man?"

"It's called Hattori Heiji, and he's just an arrogant young detective." Kogoro said awkwardly.

After all, he was speechless after being refuted by a young boy.

Officer Megure suddenly seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "Hattori Heiji, it's you!

"Are you the son of Hattori Heidō, the current chief of the Osaka Police Station, who is currently attending high school?

Kogoro was puzzled: "He is the son of the chief of the Osaka Police Station?"

At this time, Officer Megure touched his chin and said slowly: "All the windows in the study are locked from the inside of the room. It is impossible to enter and exit from the outside. The only entrance and exit is that door."

"So now the most likely person is someone in your family who has the key to this room, Mrs. Tatsumura. There should be several sets of keys to this study."

Mrs. Tatsumura took out the key from her bag, "No, there are only two keys, one is the one in my hand, and the other is with my husband."

Inspector Megure then went to the body to check.

Reached into the victim's pants, and then fished out the key from the pants.

"Ah! How is this possible!"

Not only was Officer Megure surprised, but everyone else was a little surprised.

Only Kogoro was confused, "What's wrong with having the key?"

Hattori Heiji explained, "Don't you understand? When we came in, the door of the study was clearly locked, which means that the murderer locked the door before leaving after committing the crime."

"The key to the study has always been with the lady who entered the study with us, and the other key is in the double pocket of the victim's pants, which forms a perfect impossible crime..."

"This is a closed room murder case."

Hattori Heiji saw Kogoro's confused look and came to some conclusions in his heart.

I knew that the reasoning published by this uncle in the newspaper recently was not his work at all.

It was Kudo Shinichi, who solved all the cases. It was this foolish uncle who secretly contacted Kudo to seek his help in solving the case.

This time should not be much different. Who will solve this closed room murder case first?

, let's make some gestures!

Also, how could that kid know in advance that the victim was dead, and he also said that Mrs. Tatsumura was the murderer...

Forget it, it must be the kid's nonsense...

Conan is also feeling a little unwell.

I can't solve this case with my current identity, it will arouse unnecessary suspicion.

I will become Kudo Shinichi and appear again.

Wait, Black Chicken! I will slap you in the face after you finish your reasoning.

Hattori Heiji looked at Officer Megure standing beside him and shouted, "What are you still doing? The crime should have happened between 3:30 and 4:00. It is most important to find out the alibi of the person who might have done it during this period as soon as possible."

Officer Megure smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, that's true."

After that, he put his arm around Kogoro and whispered, "Hey, don't lose to him. Do you want this young man to show off?

He patted Kogoro on the back and said, "I put all my hopes on you, great detective. "

Kogoro agreed repeatedly.

The next step is to interrogate everyone's alibi.

So when Mr. Koike went to the gate to pick up Mrs. Tatsukawa, where were you when they arrived home? We went to Dad's study, but it was locked. We didn't get any response, so we came downstairs quickly. Our

Butler Mr. Koike was chatting with the neighbors at the gate from 3 to 4 pm.

Mrs. Tatsumura also left before 1 pm.

Mr. Takasaki and Miss Kyoko also arrived shortly before Mrs. Tatsumura returned home.

Mr. Rikkou arrived here at 2 pm. Because the victim didn't come out of the study, he went to the living room next to the study to watch TV.

Inspector Megure asked Takasaki and Xinzi again, "So when Mr. Koike went to the gate to pick up Mrs. Tatsumura, where were you?"

"We went to Dad's study, but the door was locked. We called him, but there was no response, so we came downstairs quickly. "

"I met my mother right after I came down."

After listening to this, Hattori Heiji smiled confidently and came to some conclusions in his mind.

The person who killed the victim is the most likely person except Mr. Koike and Mrs. Tatsumura... The other three people.
