Detectives of Detective World

All in all, this is a case that should happen as a matter of course.

After all, there are too many conditions that trigger the murder, and it has basically reached the full value, which has to make people complain.

But as expected, with Conan here, he couldn't stay idle at all. Originally, he thought that after going with Conan to investigate the information about our father Yingyou's father, he would be able to rest for a few days. Unexpectedly, just one day later, look at the seamless connection here. There was a murder case.

However, complaints are complaints, and the work that needs to be done still needs to be carried out.

"He died about an hour and a half ago. Counting the time we arrived, he died almost an hour ago."

After inspecting the body, Minoru Aso, who was accompanying the team, gently slapped the mouth of the deceased, Masuki Morokuchi, twice as he spoke: "The smell of almonds in the mouth is probably due to suffocation caused by poisons such as cyanide." .”

"The word "you" is used very spiritually." Tang Ze teased with a smile.

"I'm just confused. Ever since I joined the company, as long as I've been poisoned, nine out of ten people have been poisoned by cyanide."

Aso said with a depressed look on his face: "I really don't know where those people got the cyanide poison."

"Who knows."

Tang Ze glanced at Conan and immediately said: "Maybe this is a type of poison that is commonly known to the public, so that's why they all choose this poison to commit suicide or kill someone."

"In addition, there was coffee near the deceased's mouth. It is most likely that the poison was put in the coffee cup for poisoning."

Aso took a look at the coffee cup spilled on the ground and said, "Of course, more definite news needs to be confirmed by further testing at the Science and Technology Research Institute."

"Well...except for the window through which Conan entered, all the doors and windows in the bedroom are locked."

Karasawa looked around the surrounding environment and then looked at Morokuchi Masuki's left hand and said: "There is a key in the opponent's palm. I am afraid it is the key to this room. I wonder if there is a spare one?"

"Because Mr. Zhuguchi hates people entering his room without his permission, we don't have a spare key." Miss Anabuki on the side explained aloud.

"Then give it a try."

Tang Ze picked up the key from Zhukou Yigui, opened the door and tried it from the outside. Sure enough, it could be opened.

‘As expected, it’s Ke Xue’s routine. ’

Seeing this result, just when Karasawa was about to express the opinion he had already guessed, Mouri Kogoro suddenly spoke: "It seems like he committed suicide."

As Mouri Kogoro spoke, he motioned for everyone to look at the surrounding environment, "Look at this situation, it doesn't look like this coffee was poured down by someone, right?

Moreover, both the windows and doors in the room are well locked. In addition, Teacher Zhuguchi has no spare key. Doesn't it mean that this is a secret room?

In this case, no matter how you look at it, it’s suicide, right? "

'Here it comes again, here it comes again, Kogoro Mori's suicide theory...'

Conan and Karasawa looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

It is said that there are no accidents in the secret room, but for Mouri Kogoro, any secret room would be judged as suicide.

This has almost become another law.

"why..."

The conclusion of Kogoro Mori also made Takagi somewhat disagree: "If someone had added cyanide poison to the coffee beforehand, wouldn't it be a secret room murder?

Of course, this premise is that the prisoner should know that Mr. Zhuguchi is used to drinking a cup of coffee every morning. "

"well..."

After hearing what Takagi said, Mouri Kogoro on the side let out a long sigh and said a little speechlessly: "Do you think a normal person would drink coffee while holding the key to his room?

Of course, when he found out that the coffee was poisonous after drinking it, it was impossible to grab the key immediately. After all, cyanide poison is very fast.

In other words, the key could only be held in Mr. Moroguchi's hand before he drank his coffee. "

"But, why do you have to hold the key yourself?" Sato Miwako on the side said somewhat puzzledly.

"I'm afraid this is a move that Mr. Moroguchi made deliberately because he wanted to convey some message." Mouri Kogoro said with a serious face.

"But Mr. Moriguchi, I also made an appointment to have a formal meeting with you, Mr. Mori, this morning?"

Takagi's words made Mouri Kogoro's expression stagnant, and Takagi smiled and raised a possibility: "It's not possible that Mr. Moroguchi found that he overslept and hurriedly took the keys and prepared to go out.

In order to wake up, it is entirely possible to drink a cup of coffee first and end up being poisoned. "

"Hey, it's true. Look carefully."

Mouri Kogoro pointed to the place where the coffee cup fell with his hands on his hips and a look of helplessness: "You see, the cup fell by the bed, right?

And the location of the coffee machine, it's on the other side of the study.

If he was really in a hurry, then Mr. Moroguchi would have walked to the kitchen to pour coffee and drank it right there.

And look at the bedside table, is there a coffee cup and saucer?

This shows that Mr. Moroguchi drank coffee by his bedside, proving that he was not as anxious as you said. "

"But is there another possibility?"

After hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Miwako Sato also thought of a possibility: "After Mr. Moriguchi got up this morning, someone came to this room.

After mixing cyanide poison into the coffee, he put it in front of him and urged him to go out quickly, and then left the room. "

"This is impossible." Tangze shook his head and said: "Don't forget, since you are urging Mr. Zhuguchi to leave, it is impossible for him to close the door of the room by himself."

Looking at the people who were still arguing about this matter, Tang Ze helplessly shook his head and said: "Don't think about this now, baseless reasoning is no different from random guessing.

It is better to conduct an investigation first and then judge the circumstances of the case. "

"really..."

Takagi smiled awkwardly when he heard this, looked at the three people who were standing aside and said little, "I just heard the introduction of you three by Conan and Xiaolan.

Is it Mr. Moroguchi's editor-in-chief Anabuki-san, the freelance writer Dejima, and the photographer Mr. Tarumizu?

The three of you were all planning for this meeting. Did you stay in Mr. Zhuguchi's villa yesterday? "

"After all, we had to come here at 5 o'clock in the morning to start preparations for the meeting. We were really pressed for time, so we accepted Mr. Moriguchi's invitation and stayed with Detective Mori."

Chuishui on the side explained with a smile.

"But it's a bit strange." Miwako Sato on the side touched her chin and muttered: "If it is a secret room, generally speaking, the door or window will be poisoned.

But now after a preliminary inspection, nothing strange about the person was found. "

"Conan came in through the transom here."

Tangze rubbed Conan's dog's head, pointed to the transom and said, "This should be the only place in the room connected to the outside world."

"But even a child can barely pass through this transom." Miwako Sato said, looking at the window.

"But if it was suicide, then why did Mr. Moroguchi have the key in his hand?"

When Takagi said this, he looked at Mouri Kogoro and said: "Detective Mouri, you said before that Mr. Moroguchi wanted to convey some message to us, and he did it deliberately, right?

I wonder if you have guessed Mr. Zhukou’s intention in doing this? "

"Right now, I can only think of one possibility,"

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin with a serious look on his face: "Perhaps he did it to prevent us, who have been living in the villa since yesterday, from being suspected of murder.

Like I said before, it's impossible to create a secret room without locking the door with a key. "

"Then I would like to ask everyone, did Mr. Zhuguchi show any signs of wanting to commit suicide last night?"

"No." Miss Anabuki recalled and shook her head: "There is nothing unusual..."

"Indeed, Mr. Moroguchi has a very high temperament when he sees Detective Mori." Photographer Tarui Shui echoed: "I don't see any unusual reaction at all."

"Well, yes, everything is normal." Mr. Dejima, the contributor, echoed.

"Well, maybe Mr. Moroguchi has some troubles that he can't tell outsiders."

Mouri Kogoro sighed and said as if he knew the other person very well: "In the spring of this year, Mr. Akita, Mr. Moroguchi's former editor, also committed suicide, didn't he.

It's also possible that Mr. Morokuchi doesn't care much on the surface, but actually feels responsible in his heart, so he might be feeling heavy all the time. "

"Okay, let's stop talking about speculation here first. Let's wait until the Forensic Department collects the evidence and sends it to the Science Research Institute for testing and the results are obtained."

Seeing that if he didn't stop it, Kogoro Mouri would clear the criminal's suspicion, Tangze quickly interrupted the conversation of several people and stopped the topic.

Miwako Sato, who was on the side, also began to look around the room.

"Indeed, and if it is a murder case, there will definitely be clues left somewhere in this room."

While checking suspicious places such as door handles and window switches, Sato Miwako said: "After all, this is a secret room, and it is impossible for prisoners to sneak in and destroy evidence after the door is closed.

But having said that, I want to ask you, before our police arrived, you probably didn’t touch anything, right? "

"No." Miss Anabuki shook her head and said, "After we found out that Mr. Moroguchi passed away, Detective Mori already reminded us not to move around."

"Hey, Karasawa Criminal, that ring is a bit strange, isn't it?"

At this moment, Conan on the side suddenly opened his mouth and provided a clue, but these words were "accurately stepping on thunder", which caused Takagi to become extremely panicked.

"Ring!?" Takagi standing aside quickly leaned down and said with a panicked look on his face: "What are you talking about? Conan-kun...

Of course, if you say you don’t care, you would definitely be lying, but we are investigating the case now, and we will talk about those things later..."

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Conan said with shame, "That's not what I'm talking about."

"You two are not talking about the same topic at all." Karasawa patted Takagi on the shoulder and smiled, then whispered to Conan in a low voice.

"Hey~~"

A playful tone came from Conan's mouth, and the teasing look on his little face made Takagi feel unnatural for a while.

"Wha, what!" Takagi looked at Tang Ze and said anxiously: "Tang Ze Criminal, don't tell children everything."

"What's the matter? Even if you don't say it, wouldn't Conan not notice it because of your observation skills?"

Karasawa chuckled and patted Takagi on the shoulder to make him accept his fate: "As for your reaction just now, even if I didn't say it, Conan would know it."

Looking at Takagi's awkward and sneer expression, Conan still helped him, a tool man, to solve the problem: "Takagi Criminal, the ring you just talked about was not the ring you imagined, but the ring on Teacher Moroguchi's hand."

"The ring on Mr. Moroguchi's hand?" Takagi looked at Masaki Moroguchi who was standing aside with confusion: "Then what happened to the ring?"

"I heard that the ring is the ring from Mr. Moroguchi's One Hundred Books. There are many gems inlaid on the front, and the word "100th" is engraved on the ring."

Conan pointed to the ring while explaining: "But look at the word "100th" on the ring. It's upside down."

"Oh...so that's it..."

While Takagi was amazed, he couldn't help but blush. He was obviously embarrassed by his reaction just now, and asked quickly: "But he might have put the ring on backwards."

"That's unlikely."

Tangze on the side shook his head and said: "Don't forget that Conan and Xiaolan said before that Mr. Zhuguchi is a very nervous person.

It’s hard to imagine that a person who smashed a magazine in the face of the editor-in-chief, a woman, because his name was made 0.1 mm smaller, would wear the ring backwards.

Being sensitive to fonts, he shouldn't make this mistake. "

"Ah, so, this is indeed a murder case!!"

After listening to Tangze's words, Takagi suddenly realized and shouted: "I'm afraid the prisoner's purpose of killing was this diamond ring!

After killing Mr. Moroguchi, the murderer replaced the real diamond ring on his hand with a fake one.

But because I was too panicked at the time, I put the ring on backwards in a hurry. "

Listening to Takagi's reasoning, Karasawa's mouth twitched, and he had to sigh that Takagi was really a logic genius.

But he did not immediately refute it. Although the motive was wrong, it was not important in the early stage of the investigation. The main issue was to turn the case back from suicide first.

So he looked at the three suspects on the side and asked: "Excuse me, in your impression, did Mr. Zhuguchi ever take off the ring?"

"Ah...this..."

After hearing this, Miss Anabuki thought for a while and said, "Because Mr. Moroguchi said that he likes this ring very much, he will never take it off whether he is taking a bath or going to bed."

"If that's the case, then this is a homicide."

Tang Ze set the tone for the case. He looked at everyone with solemn faces and said solemnly: "And it was a secret room murder!"
