In the wide hall, a body lies on a square dining table, and the medical examiner is methodically conducting an investigation of the scene, while Officer Sato interrogates the first finder and informant.

This is a female white-collar worker of about thirty years old, who worked the night shift last night, came back in the early morning to find that the door of the neighbor’s house that had been no one for many years was open, and then saw that Fukuyama Takashi had died. The police immediately contacted the company where she worked to confirm that she was indeed working overtime, even if she was looking for ten witnesses, so her suspicion was ruled out.

“It’s really speechless, the old case has not been solved, and the new case is coming.” Hua glanced at Conan like a fly, “Any clues?” ”

Conan nodded slightly, “There are two key points in her testimony, the first is that the door is open; The second is that the lights are on in the hall. ”

“The door is open? The lights are on? Hua Qing was a little puzzled, but in the next second he understood.

Ordinary people will definitely hide things to death after committing murder, and do not want to be discovered, but this time the murderer lit the lamp and opened the door, as if deliberately wanting others to see, which is indeed very awkward.

Is it a very arrogant murderer?

Maori Kogoro asked the old medical examiner who examined the body: “Is the time of death found?” ”

The old medical examiner did not raise his head, and while examining the body, he replied: “The time of death was between nine o’clock and nine thirty o’clock last night.” The cause of death was a knife in the lungs, which usually takes a long time to die after severe pain. The murder weapon was supposed to be a fruit knife, pierced through the left chest of the deceased, and later taken away by the murderer. ”

“Huh?” Hua Wei suddenly made a surprised sound.

“What’s wrong?” Kogoro asked just when he heard it, because he realized that the child was very smart.

“This murderer is really strange.” Hua Unknown frowned, “He forgot to turn off the lights when he left the scene, forgot to close the door, but he didn’t forget to take away the murder weapon…”

Maori Kogoro was also stunned for a moment, “Indeed… Is this carelessness or carefulness? ”

Conan suddenly cried out milkily, “Uncle, don’t you think the posture of the deceased is so strange? ”

Posture?

Kogoro then carefully observed the deceased.

Suddenly, I found that the deceased’s hand was actually pointing to a wooden table with a group photo on the table.

Kogoro walked over but opened the drawer first, and saw that the drawer was empty before bending down to look at the group photo, “Is the deceased referring to this photo?” He muttered to himself.

“Could it be that the murderer is among them?” Officer Twilight also stepped forward to make a guess.

There are seven people in the photo, Daisuke Yamada, who died last week, and Takashi Fukuyama, who died this week, are among them.

Maori Kogoro closed his eyes and pondered, Daisuke’s last words still echoed in his ears, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: If Daisuke was wronged, who was the real embezzlement? Or that he is in prison, who is the biggest beneficiary?

His gaze couldn’t help but fall on the corpse on the table.

That’s right, it’s Takashi Fukuyama.

Thinking of this, Kogoro’s gaze fell on Seiichi Yamada.

Seeing this, the corners of Hua Qing’s mouth raised slightly, it seems that Uncle Maori thought of going with him. If it was Takashi Fukuyama who really embezzled public funds, then this time it is likely that the young man will avenge his dead father.

“Where were you from nine to half past nine last night? Seiichi Yamada! Maori Kogoro questioned him

“Me? I was last night… Shopping, what’s wrong? ”

“You seem to have been crying out for your father, right?”

Seiichi nodded firmly, “That’s right, I don’t believe my father did such a thing as embezzlement!” ”

“Oh? If you find out that Takashi Fukuyama framed your father, would you kill him? ”

Makoto was shocked, his face full of disbelief, “This… If I had known that he was a real prisoner, I would have reported him instead of using violence. ”

“Stop pretending! You are the murderer! Maori Kogoro pointed at him and shouted.

Hua Unknown and Conan both wiped their foreheads, and sure enough, it finally developed into this, it seems that it is basically impossible for Uncle Maori to solve the case himself.

“Naw, Conan, let’s do it ourselves.” Hua Wei turned around and said, Conan nodded slightly.

……

Hua Zheng wandered around the hall and suddenly saw many photo frames on the partitions on both sides of the wall-mounted TV, and the gap between the two picture frames was particularly large, and it seemed that one picture frame had been pulled out of the middle. He came closer and saw that sure enough, the gap was very clean and dust-free, definitely he had let something go but had been taken away.

He turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction where the corpse’s finger was pointing.

Could it be that the photo that disappeared next to the TV was the one? Thinking of this, Hua Zhi immediately ran to the wooden table, grabbed the group photo and ran back.

“Hey! What are you doing? Officer Twilight shouted: “This is the scene of the murder, things can’t be moved!” ”

Hua Zhi ignored him, ran to the TV and put the group photo in the gap between the two frames, just in perfect harmony with the dust traces.

He couldn’t help but change his face, “What the hell… What’s going on? ”

Officer Twilight, who ran over, was also very surprised when he found this, “It’s strange, how can that photo fit with the traces here?” ”

However, he just felt strange, but he didn’t feel wrong, only Conan’s face changed when he heard this sentence and Hua Wu.

“Hey, uncle, do you know what that means…” Conan looked up and asked Kogoro with a serious look.

“Huh? Meaning? What do you mean? Kogoro was confused.

Hua Zhi composed her face, “Don’t you understand yet? The deceased’s finger pointed to the group photo, which was supposed to be next to the TV. Do you think a dying person still has the time to get pictures from here to the table and then lie down and die? ”

“That’s right… After Fukuyama died, someone put the photo on a wooden table. Conan added with an equally composed face.

Everyone looked incredulous.

Hana Zhi walked to the wooden table, opened the empty drawer, turned around and said: “If the photo was placed by the murderer, it means that there was nothing on the table at first, so it seems that what Fukuyama Takashi was referring to before he died was not the photo, but this drawer!” ”

“But the drawer is empty?” Officer Twilight felt inexplicable.

Officer Sato woke up like a dream after pointing out, and looked at Hana Unknown in shock, this child…

“Not bad, but there must have been something in the initial drawer, the same item that could reveal the identity of the murderer.” Hua Wei frowned slightly, “After the murderer took the items, he felt that the police would definitely detect that the deceased’s posture was unnatural, so he took the photo and put it on the table, so that we could think that Fukuyama Takashi was hinting at this group photo from the beginning.” ”

Only after such an explanation did everyone understand, but what exactly was the murderer taking away? Maori Kogoro raised his head in shock, but saw Hana Unknown and Conan staring expressionlessly at Seiichi Yamada.

Suddenly, Maori Kogoro also reacted, pointing at Yamada Makoto and shouting: “You are indeed a prisoner!” ”
