Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 51
"Mr. Maori, Mrs. Maori has been seen for a long time. Yo, Xiao Jing meets again!" Sato greeted Xiao Jing and Xiao Goro and others energetically after arriving.
"Some time ago, I heard from the eyes that you had something unhappy, and now it seems that Officer Sato has come back to life!" said Kogoro and Sato.
"Well, it's over, and I'm not responsible for that case. And because I solved a murder case with the help of your daughter when I came, I was also punished, and I just drilled the horns myself, haha. Sato, who was grinning a lot, laughed a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, sometimes I make mistakes, but in the end, I'll still solve the case! This case is also on me!" Kogoro inherently began his own declaration to solve the case, which made Conan and Xiao Jing on the side a little speechless.
Uncle Maori has always been like this, Conan asked Jing with his eyes.
Xiao Jing sighed and acquiesced, at least she didn't make a lot of trouble when she was with her father before.
"The victim was Mr. Daisuke Maeda, the sous chef here, who died after being hit hard in the back with a blunt object. It was found that it was Miss Kinoko, who said that after hearing a noise at that time, she went to inquire about the progress of Mr. Daisuke's cooking and went to the separate cooking room about two minutes later. The structure found that the cooking room was open and Daisuke collapsed inside, and other staff members could testify. Takagi came over and reported to Sato about the investigation.
"It must have been the prisoner who attacked Mr. Daisuke and immediately fled in the opposite direction. Kogoro speculated.
"When we visited the kitchen, Mr. Daisuke was still cooking. Xiaolan said.
"Then the time of death should be during the time when Xiaolan and the others went to visit the kitchen, and Mr. Man has also received a threatening letter in the past few days. There must be someone who wants this store to not be able to open, so they did this kind of thing!" said Kogoro with an expression that must have been the same.
"Really? Mr. Man. Sato hurriedly made sure to Man.
When Sato and Kogoro and his party were discussing the case, Xiao Jing found that Conan was indeed missing. I hadn't noticed it just now, but now after the shadow of the sweet in my mind waved away, I immediately knew that Conan must have gone to the scene.
Xiao Jing also quietly left the lounge and came to the independent kitchen at the scene, now there are several staff members collecting evidence, and the deceased has also been carried away, leaving a white humanoid pattern.
Xiao Jing observed for a moment and saw Conan crouching in front of a tomato, thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Jing.
Conan looked back and saw that it was Xiao Jing and pointed to the crack in the tomato.
"There's something strange about this rip, it's not like a crushed shape. Conan said.
"It's torn out of it, and you can see that the cracks on both sides are obvious signs of something stuck in the roots. Xiao Jing squatted down and looked at it carefully.
"What did Mr. Man do with you just now?"
"Because in the past few days, Mr. Man has received a threatening letter, saying that the food in the house is not edible, and he is asking the store to be closed for rectification. Conan said casually to Xiao Jing.
"Oh. That's why you came to my father and mother for help?".
"Part of the reason for this is that I think it's an invitation to the tasting. Because I plan to be the manager with peace of mind, I want to choose the best chef to be the head chef, and I heard that the main thing is the competition between Mr. Daisuke and Mr. Minamifune. "
"So the one who benefited was Mr. Nanchuan?" said Xiao Jing following Conan's clues.
"At least there is a motive, and we detectives can't jump to conclusions when we don't find definitive evidence. Conan said this with great momentum.
"My father has already gone down. "Xiao Jing has the expression that you are a fake detective.
"Uh.... Your father is an exception!".
"Huh?" Xiao Jing stood up and looked around, looking up to find that there seemed to be something in the ventilation fan.
"What's wrong?" asked Conan.
"I think we're all wrong. Xiao Jing said.
"What did you find?" asked Conan immediately.
"Mr. Daisuke, whom my sister and I saw in the kitchen at the beginning, may have died. It was just hung by something and didn't fall. The front window completely blocked Mr. Daisuke due to the heat of the cooking, and my sister and I saw that it was actually just an outline. Xiao Jing gestured to the exhaust fan above and said.
"I see, I see!" Conan said, with a sudden realization.
"Do you know who the killer is?".
"It's not. "
"Tsk, what do you know?" asked Xiao Jing with some disappointment.
"I know the method of killing, please how can the prisoner be so easy to deduce. Conan said with a headache.
"Well, I know you're pretty good already, Detective. So what is the technique?" Xiao Jing was still curious about the technique, at least she hadn't discovered it yet.
"Wait a minute. With that, Conan ran to the staff on the side.
"Uncle, Uncle Maori said there might be some clues, could you please help you take a look?" Conan said cutely.
"Did Mr. Maori say that? Okay, I'll take a look. Sure enough, when the staff heard the name of Mori Kogoro, they removed the exhaust fan and found the rope inside, and the triangular bartack on the head of the rope had red liquid on it.
"Well, the rope was found, but what did it use to create the illusion that Daisuke-sama wasn't dead? "
"It's the tomatoes there. Conan explained to Jing.
Xiao Jing said that she still didn't understand.
"The prisoner first froze the tomatoes and then made a hole in the middle, and the rope at both ends was passed through and knotted to form a Lu character structure. Then he put the other end of the rope around Mr. Daisuke's arm, and tied the two ropes to the exhaust fan. "
Then the slow rotation of the exhaust fan drove the rope to produce a not very heavy pull, and Mr. Daisuke was fixed because there was a connection of tomatoes. Then, when the tomatoes soften, the rope will be pulled apart and rolled back into the exhaust fan, right?"
"Well, that's right. Conan nodded, confirming Jing's conjecture.
"Then the murderer should be Mr. Man. Xiao Jing put her hand on her lips in thought.
"Huh?" This time Conan was surprised that Jing had locked on the killer so quickly.
"You see, the only person who can be in Daisuke-sukke without making a fuss is the head chef. Although the cooking room is separate, it is not completely soundproofed. "
"Well, that's right. Conan nodded in agreement.
"And then, wasn't the head chef the beneficiary of this alibi, who forged a threatening letter to find my parents as witnesses, and used the time difference to prove that he didn't have time to kill. Xiao Jing said her two reasons.
"But the head chef agreed to Xiaolan and you to visit the kitchen, so there is a risk of being discovered by you. Conan voiced his doubts.
"Generally speaking, we, as visitors, don't bother the chef who is preparing the food, so the head chef just pretends to do it and lets us take the opportunity to visit. "
"Although there is some truth in what you say, I always feel that something is wrong. After listening to Xiao Jing's reasoning, Conan felt that there was some truth, but he felt that something was wrong.
"Tell me the details of what happened over there, and I'll see if I can find any clues. Conan asks Jing to tell him the details of her visit to the kitchen with Ran.
Later, after Xiao Jing told Conan about her side of the matter, she also learned about the threatening letter from Conan, as well as the things that Man talked about with his parents.
"Xiao Jing, Conan can't run around!" Xiao Lan appeared at the door at this time, obviously looking for these two children.
"Sister/Sister Xiaolan. "
"If you're not careful, you're gone, you're really going to run around. Xiaolan took Xiao Jing and Conan out of the kitchen one by one.
"I'm here to eat the food of the chef of Nanchuan, and I have made a reservation. What! This kind of thing happened? So can't you eat the food of Nanchuan? Have you to postpone it? Hey, that's the only way. Xiaolan and the others, who had just come to the living room, were attracted by the sound of the front desk.
"Did the people just come to eat Mr. Nanfune's food?" asked Conan after Xiaolan led the two of them closer.
"Yes, Chef Nanfune's dishes have been very popular lately. I said that after eating, I felt a sense of happiness that I couldn't explain, and I received a lot of reservations. Said the greeter at the front desk.
"That's pretty impressive. Xiaolan said enviously about Nanchuan's cooking skills.
"However, Nanchuan's cooking skills also suddenly became powerful some time ago, and I don't know what secret is used. "
Conan seemed to know something after hearing her words.
"Dad, what's wrong?have you found the murderer?" Xiaolan took Conan and Xiaojing to the lounge, where Kogoro and Sato were still discussing the case. The rest of the room was full of people who had left to continue working.
"Well, I've found a clue. The rope was found in the exhaust fan, and the modus operandi was found with Officer Sato. The Daisuke that you and Shizue saw at that time may have died. "Kogoro and Sato's side have also deduced the modus operandi based on the rope and clues at the scene.
"Does Father already have a goal?" asked Xiao Jing.
"That's right, I think it's Mr. Man. But Yingli said that before I came, Mr. Man had been explaining the situation of the threatening letter to her and had not left, so Mr. Man also had an alibi at that time. Kogoro said with some sympathy, after all, his reasoning was completely denied by his lover.
So the prisoner should be someone else, and the investigation has reached an impasse. Yingli concluded.
"In other words, everyone except Mr. Man is suspicious, so?" Xiao Jing said.
"Well, that's probably how it is now. Sato thought for a moment and said.
"If Mr. Minamifune had taken us to the personal cooking room at that time, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. Xiao Jing's mind was also a little overwhelmed, and she muttered a little giving up.
"The personal cooking room is only allowed by the head chef and the head chef, isn't it normal that Nanfune didn't take you in?" Conan immediately thought of something after finishing speaking, and looked like he had caught something.
"Huh?" Xiao Jing looked at suspiciously.
"Xiao Jing, I already know who the murderer is!" Conan pulled Xiao Jing aside, and Conan's small movements were seen by Xiao Lan and shook his head helplessly. She thought that Conan was going to take Xiao Jing to be naughty again.
Conan then tells Jing his reasoning.
"Uh... That's true, but that's your guess. What about the actual evidence?" After listening to this, Xiao Jing felt that the reasoning was very proper, but there was still no conclusive evidence.
"If I'm not wrong in my reasoning, the evidence is still there!".
"Then let's go to Officer Takagi to verify what you said, I think the Identification Department should be more sensitive in this regard. "
"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Man right away to help arrange it!" Conan immediately began to confirm his reasoning and began to act.
"Xiao Jing, where is Conan?" Xiao Lan asked when she saw that Xiao Jing came back alone and didn't see Conan.
"Well, he went to the toilet. Xiao Jing nodded deliberately and thought for a while.
"Conan!" Xiaolan saw Xiao Jing's appearance and knew that Xiao Jing was lying, and she planned to teach her sister Conan badly, and she planned to give a good lecture later!
"Xiao Jing, a good boy can't lie!" Xiao Lan turned to look at Xiao Jing slightly.
"Conan went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and said he'd bring me some. Xiao Jing immediately stated her purpose.
"Really. Xiaolan was a little helpless about Xiaojing's idea of continuing to consume sugar.
