Detectives of Detective World

Early the next morning, Karasawa served the prepared breakfast to Ayako, who had just finished washing, and then drove out.

Because today is Saturday, Ayako slept in, while Karasawa was in charge of breakfast because he had something to do today.

Of course, even though it was said to be breakfast, it was actually almost nine o'clock by the time he finished eating and went out, so he didn't look anxious at all.

But this is normal. After all, you are visiting someone else's home. You usually have to wait until after nine o'clock to avoid disturbing the other person.

The time that Hondo Eisuke made an appointment with the other party was also at half past nine. It was only fifteen minutes by car from Karasawa's house to Okuhira's house in Cupido Town 3-chome.

Well, because everyone made an appointment to meet in front of each other's house, Karasawa didn't need to pick up Conan and the others one by one.

Starting the car, Tang Ze opened the system panel to check while fastening his seat belt.

But unfortunately, there is no movement on the panel.

After arresting the fraudster yesterday, Tangze checked the reward once when he returned home, but unfortunately there was no reaction at that time.

Tangze originally thought it would take some time for settlement, so he waited until this morning to check.

But now the panel still has no results, giving Tangze a slight headache.

There is no prompt at all, and I don’t know whether it’s because the rewards in the main plot have started to accumulate and settle, or because this case is too sparse and ordinary, and there are no rewards at all.

But, he should be able to find out after he solves today's case.

Although among the non-main plots, he only remembered the more classic cases, but as an old Ke fan, he would never forget the cases that happened in the main plot.

After arriving at Cupido Town 3-chome, Karasawa drove forward slowly and finally found the mansion with "Okuhira" hanging on the outside.

After dialing Conan's number, he quickly ran out of the house and opened the door for him.

"Detective Maori? Why are you here?"

After seeing Mouri Kogoro, Karasawa pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Yesterday when we went back, we told dad that we would come to visit. Unexpectedly, dad also received a request from Mr. Kakuzo." Xiaolan smiled and said hello after seeing Tang Ze, and then started to explain.

"So that's it." Tang Ze, who knew the plot, was naturally not surprised. Of course, he still had to act when he should.

And with his acting skills, even if the level is not high, it is enough to be used in daily life.

After all, there is no need to be afraid of movies, and there is no need for difficult performances such as eye scenes, just pretending to be surprised.

However, after explaining, Mouri Kogoro looked at Karasawa with some dignity and said proudly:

"Well, this is normal. After all, you haven't solved this case for a year. Now is the time for my famous detective Mouri Kogoro to show off his skills!"

"Dad!" Xiaolan looked at her arrogant father and said angrily: "Be careful, don't be too proud!"

"Ah, oh..." Mouri Kogoro also realized that it was not good to be so arrogant in his employer's house. After all, his son was dead.

Soon an expressionless housekeeper came over with tea. Xiaolan called her, this fat woman was called Kikuyo.

Seeing Karasawa's arrival, Hondo Yingyou, who was counting his mother's belongings on the coffee table, came over with a parent-child handbook: "Look, Karasawa Criminal, it is recorded that my blood type is type O."

"It seems that's it." Tang Ze nodded to show understanding.

"Sorry, that bag is a little damaged."

Kikuyo was pouring tea for everyone. Although he said he was embarrassed, his face remained calm: "But I didn't expect that it would always be in the space under the drawer of my cabinet.

I guess I accidentally dropped it while I was putting it in a drawer, but it was great to find it. "

"When my wife saw the bag, she knew it belonged to the housekeeper who used to help with housework here, so she contacted you immediately."

The middle-aged butler wearing glasses and with the same expressionless voice said: "And today also happens to be the first anniversary of Master Tuowu.

So the lady also said that the young master must have brought everyone back. "

When the butler said these words, his tone did not fluctuate at all, and there was no smile on his face. He seemed to have no emotion.

To be honest, if he hadn't known about their relationship through the plot, he would have thought they were a couple.

The same expressionless face, the same lifeless eyes, they really look like a couple.

"Long time no see. Although ten years have passed, Mr. Butler seems to have not changed much." Hondo Yingyou smiled and greeted the butler.

"No, when you were here 10 years ago, my brother should have been the housekeeper."

The butler had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face: "My brother also passed away in a car accident exactly two years ago today."

"That's a bit of a coincidence."

Karasawa frowned and looked at the Oppei couple beside him and said, "According to what I know from the file, the son was drowned in the swimming pool by criminals who invaded from outside.

The time of death was probably between nine and ten o'clock in the evening.

And during the five hours from seven o'clock to twelve o'clock, everyone except the son was in the living room watching the home video taken by Mr. Oppei, right? "

"Yes, that's it, but let's go to the study to talk about my son's case."

Okudaira Kakuzo sighed, stood up and walked towards the study, while asking: "Karasawa Criminal Investigation, since you are also paying attention to my son's case, have you discovered anything?"

"I only saw the information in the file. In addition to helping you, I also want to learn more about the case at that time."

Tangze followed the other party and shook his head with an apologetic expression.

"Well, I hope that two famous detectives are here and can solve my son's case this time."

Okudaira Kakuzo was a little disappointed when he heard this, but after thinking that both of them were famous detectives, he felt relieved a little and invited them to sit down in the study.

After that, Okudaira Kakuzo took out a photo and placed it on the table: "This is a photo taken from the image taken when my son's body was found."

After Tangze took the photo, he saw the body of the victim in the photo.

It was a young man in his twenties or thirties. His mouth was covered with tape, his feet were tied, and his hands were tied behind his back. It was a binding method that did not require much strength.

Tang Ze was also keenly aware that the opponent's right hand, which was tied behind his back, was wearing a white glove.

"Well, I would like to ask you why you took the photo?" Mouri Kogoro took the photo and looked at Okuhira Kakuzo with some surprise.

"It's like this. Early the next morning, Kikuyo, the housekeeper, emptied the water in the swimming pool and saw my son's body.

But at that time, I thought the other party was playing a prank, so I went downstairs with my camera, intending to record everything.

When I arrived at the place and saw my son, I realized that this was not a prank at all. "

Okudaira Kakuzo looked a little haggard when he said this: "Our son is really dead... and the murderer has never been found..."

"As for the enemy, do you have any clues?" Mouri Kogoro asked aloud.

"That's what I think. My son Touto was killed by someone ruthless in the house."

After Okudaira Kakuzo's words, Mouri Kogoroichi was surprised: "Why do you think so?

What Tang Ze Criminal just said, did someone go out while watching the video from 9 to 10 o'clock? "

"No, the testimony that Tangze Criminal saw in the file is correct, but I just can't help feeling that way."

Okuhira Kakuzo took a sip of coffee and dropped the cup heavily on the saucer: "But I always involuntarily think that someone in the room killed my son!"

"Then why do you have such an idea?" Tang Ze looked at the other party and asked: "There must be some reason that makes you subconsciously feel this way, right?"

"Yes, is there a secret door in the living room where you watch home videos?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but guess after hearing this.

"No, there's no such thing as a secret door, I can guarantee that." Kakuzo Okudaira said, "But someone went to the bathroom while watching the video."

"So you are guessing that someone took advantage of that time to sneak out?" Mouri Kogoro speculated after hearing this.

"No, the bathroom is connected to the living room, and the bathroom window isn't big enough for an adult to get in and out."

"Then according to what you said, Mr. Oppei, everyone is in the house. Even going to the bathroom is impossible because of the layout. Then it is impossible to go out to commit crimes. Then the people in the house cannot be the prisoners."

Mouri Kogoro said puzzled after hearing what Okudaira Kakuzo said.

"There is a reason why I say that."

Hearing this, Okuhira Kakuzo pointed to his son's hands tied behind his back in the photo: "Look here, my son Tōgo has a white glove on his right hand, right?

That also happened to be the day that the former housekeeper of this house died two years ago after falling off a cliff in a car accident.

Whenever he drives, he always wears white gloves on his hands. "

"It's indeed a bit too coincidental." Tang Ze said: "When I saw this dossier before, I also had doubts about this."

"Yes, and more importantly, I found the butler's left glove in this study on the third day after my son's death."

Okudaira Kakuzo couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead when he said this, his face full of horror.

"I see, that means the left glove the murderer put on your son fell off for some reason, right?" Mouri Kogoro said with a proud expression as he felt that he had guessed what the other person was thinking.

"I don't think that's what Mr. Oppei wanted to express."

Karasawa shook his head and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Oppei wanted to say that someone had a grudge because of the death of the former butler, so he killed Mr. Touto."

"But wasn't the car accident that led to the death of the former housekeeper an accident?" Seeing the employer opposite him nodding repeatedly, Mouri Kogoro looked puzzled.

"This..." After hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Okuhira Kakuzo's face looked a little ugly, and his wandering eyes showed a little guilt.

"That is to say, this car accident was deemed an accident. Some people do not accept this result, and believe that the death of the former butler was caused by you and Mr. Dedou."

Karasawa spoke at the right time and told the other party what was difficult to say: "That's why after killing Mr. Touto, I put white gloves on his hands and put the other glove in your study.

The purpose is to show that his next target is you, Mr. Oppei. "

"Yes, that's it!" Okuhira Kakuzo nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "I think so!"

"If that's the case, it's really possible that the prisoner is an insider."

At this moment, a child's voice suddenly came from outside the door, attracting the attention of the three people who were talking.

"What are you doing!" Mouri Kogoro said impatiently as he watched his daughter and Conan enter the door.

"But... Conan said that our affairs over there are finished, and he wanted to come over to hear about the case that Dad and Tang Ze criminally solved." Xiaolan explained sheepishly.

"Hahaha..." Conan scratched his head and giggled, trying to excuse himself.

"Hey what the hell!" Mouri Kogoro looked at Conan with an unhappy face: "If things are done, go back quickly, I want to cause trouble here."

As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro pushed Conan's head impatiently, but unexpectedly, he bumped directly into the display case of visiting vases at the back.

Under this impact, the large vase placed on the display cabinet began to shake.

When seeing this scene, not only Conan and Mouri Kogoro panicked, but even Okudaira Kakuzo suddenly changed his face and screamed in horror when he saw this scene.

Just as the vase was about to fall, a pair of hands held the vase that was about to fall.

"Long time no see, Uncle Kakuzo."

After lifting the vase and putting it away, Hondo Eyou looked at Okudaira Kakuzo and greeted him cordially.

"It's Yingyou."

Okuhira Kakuzo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the vase was intact. He recognized him after hearing Hondo Eiyu's words: "It's so big in the blink of an eye. I almost didn't recognize it just now.

I heard from my wife that I found your mother's clothes, right? "

"That's right, thanks to you." Our hall Yingyou said politely: "I just got it."

Okuhira Kakuzo quickly walked to the vase and inspected it carefully. He found that it was not damaged and he was relieved at first. Then he looked at Hondo Eyou with a smile and said:

"Your mother is a very good housekeeper. She always has a smile on her face and is very careful and considerate in her work."

"I'm really sorry...I wasn't careful enough, and the expression on my face wasn't good either."

Kikuyo walked out from behind Hondo Eiyu with a straight face and apologized, but his face was still expressionless, which made Karasawa feel uncomfortable all over.

When Okuhira Kakuzo heard the housekeeper's apology, he repeatedly waved his hands to indicate the misunderstanding and told her not to take it to heart. With such a humble look, he couldn't tell who was the master and who was the servant.
