Detectives of Detective World

"Find a job through the Internet?" Officer Mu Mu frowned upon hearing this: "Tell me about the specific situation."

"I'm so unlucky that this happened to me."

Masataka Shimizu lay on the quilt with an irritable expression, "I was surfing the Internet at the time, and I saw this message that the conditions were not bad.

The job content is to come to this room at five o'clock and bring the jewelry on the table to the park in front of the station.

That's the general job content, because the salary is very generous, and I was happy that I hadn't snatched this commission at the time.

Who knew something like this would happen…”

"You kid, don't think that just talking nonsense over there will make you more suspicious!"

After hearing the other party's words, Chiba took the initiative to put on a black face, looked at Shimizu Masataka and scolded: "You must have killed Miss Umeda because of money!"

"no!!"

Hearing Chiba scolding him almost as a prisoner, Shimizu Masao shouted back excitedly: "When I came to this room, the woman dressed as a clown was already dead!!

At that time, I was terrified when I saw the scene. I was afraid of being suspected of being the murderer, so I ran away. "

Faced with Shimizu Makoto's words, everyone was dubious, but Tang Ze had 80% or 90% trust in what he said.

At first glance, the other party was a "scapegoat" made by the real murderer, and the other party did not leave the scene of the crime after taking the jewelry, but waited in a nearby park.

Tang Ze was basically sure that the other party was really hired by someone, not a fabricated rhetoric.

Without being able to verify the authenticity of Shimizu Masakaya's statement, the case temporarily fell into a stalemate.

Although they did catch the most suspected criminal at present, when Tang Ze pointed out that the other party did not leave, but stayed honestly in the park in front of the station, which was an abnormal behavior, Chiba and the others, who had previously identified the other party as the criminal, also Some are uncertain.

After all, what Tang Ze said was indeed reasonable.

Ordinary robbers will definitely run away with their belongings after killing someone, hoping to avoid criminal searches.

After all, after this kind of thing happened, the criminals would check the surrounding areas. It would be too risky to stay nearby with stolen goods.

But Shimizu Masao did not escape at all. If the other party is really a robber and murderer, it would be a bit abnormal.

Of course, although the situation of the case has temporarily stagnated, the search of the room is still going on.

Everyone also took a deep breath and wanted to find more clues, hoping to make a breakthrough in the case.

Tang Ze naturally also activated his super sense of smell, and when all kinds of messy smells entered the nasal cavity, Tang Ze suddenly opened his eyes.

He walked to the kitchen and saw the iron pot sitting on the gas stove.

There is no need to open it to check, the previous smell has already told him that the pot is stewed beef.

But the point is not here.

Tang Ze touched the iron pan with his hands, and the imaginary heat did not reach his fingertips, but a trace of coldness came from his fingers.

This pot of beef has long been cold.

When he was checking the smell in the room just now, he noticed the abnormal smell of the pot of beef.

Perhaps another person with the same super sense of smell may not be able to detect this, but Tang Ze, who is proficient in cooking and often cooks at home, quickly noticed the subtle difference in the smell of this pot of beef.

He looked down at the gas stove under the iron pot, and found that the knob pointed in the direction of low heat.

"That's weird. Even though the switch is in the small fire position, logically speaking, it should still be on."

Naturally, Conan also noticed Tang Ze's actions. He touched the iron pot while holding the drawer, and realized the abnormality in it.

"If that's the case..."

Tang Ze put Conan down from the drawer, then squatted down and opened the cabinet under the gas stove, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face: "If so."

"Eh? What are you talking about? What is this?"

After hearing Tang Ze's words, Conan couldn't help stretching his head to look at the cabinet, and found that in the cabinet below the gas stove, apart from the pots and bowls placed, there was a pillar and a square instrument connected to the gas stove above.

"Anyone who cooks often knows that this is an earthquake sensor for gas."

Tang Ze explained: "After all, Neon is a country with many earthquakes. This device is designed to automatically turn off the fire in case of an earthquake to avoid secondary danger caused by gas leakage."

"I heard from the administrator of this apartment that Ms. Umeda seems to be very afraid of earthquakes. This device was installed at the request of Ms. Umeda herself. It will automatically turn off when the earthquake intensity reaches level three."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Miwako Sato came over and lifted the lid of the pot to look at the stewed beef inside and shook her head regretfully: "It's cold, I guess it was after the three o'clock earthquake, I forgot to re-ignite the fire Bar."

But after hearing the other party's words, Tang Ze and Conan at the side denied this statement in their hearts at the same time.

Rather than saying that the other party has forgotten, the two are more inclined to the other party, and there is no way to rekindle the fire.

In other words, when the earthquake occurred at 3 o'clock, Miss Umeda had already been killed.

And the prisoner didn't expect an earthquake at three o'clock in the future, and Ms. Umeda had just installed an earthquake sensor, which caused the current situation.

However, there is one biggest loophole in this speculation, and that is the time of death speculation.

Aso actually judged that the entity was between 4:30 and 5:00. If Miss Umeda was injured at 3:00, then when they arrived at 5:30, the stiffness after death should have already begun.

Moreover, the heating was turned on in this room, so it stands to reason that the stiffness should be earlier.

But the behavior of the corpse is not like this at all.

If those three people really did it, it would prove that even the corpse might have been tampered with!

After a series of reasoning, this idea naturally appeared in the minds of the two of them.

Of course, Conan is mostly guessing, but Tang Ze has basically confirmed it.

Of course, these did not affect the actions of the two.

After Miwako Sato left, the two exchanged a few words briefly, and then walked around the room at the same time, looking for a suitable environment to delay the stiffness of the corpse.

As the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, Ms. Umeda can be called a rich person. The utensils in her home are very luxurious, and the refrigerator is so big that it looks like it can fit an adult.

However, after opening the refrigerator, Conan ruled out this option, because the refrigerator is full of ingredients, and there are some bottles of drinks, there is no gap at all.

Not only that, even the classification is very neat, and there is no feeling that it was stuffed in hastily.

'Looks like it's not a refrigerator anymore. '

As Conan was talking, he suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing past him, but when he turned around, he found that it was Tang Ze who opened the door to the balcony.

"This is a suitable place..." Conan raised his head feeling the cold wind and said, "If the corpse is placed here, it should be able to slow down the stiffness..."

"More than that, I found the problem as soon as I walked to the living room." Tang Ze pointed to the curtains on the living room.

"Is it oil paint?" Conan wiped the curtains, a moment of surprise flashed across his face: "It seems that after the prisoner finished killing, he carried Miss Umeda's body from the kitchen to the balcony.

But the method. The prisoner should have come here with the other two..."

"As for this, I found this on the balcony." Tang Ze handed an evidence bag to Conan.

After Tang Ze and Conan separated in the kitchen, they went to the balcony first. After all, in the high-rise apartment case, the "balcony" is also a place where many tricks need to be used.

It's just that before he reached the place, his super sense of smell discovered the smell of oil paint on the balcony curtains.

This directly made him sure that the corpse was stored on the balcony. After all, the smell of this oil paint was exactly the same as the oil paint used for makeup on Miss Umeda's face.

Tang Ze guessed that most of the time the prisoner accidentally stained the curtains when moving the corpse to the balcony.

Now that he found the place where the corpse was moved, it proved that this was the place where the other party hung up. Naturally, Tang Ze went to the balcony to check the situation.

And what is stored in the evidence bag is the key evidence to solve the case!

"Faux hair!?"

When Conan saw the physical evidence in the evidence bag, his pupils contracted violently the next moment.

A flash of light flashed like a thunder in his mind, connecting everything together in an instant.

Conan raised his head, his bright eyes met with a pair of equally sharp eyes above him.

The next moment, a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.

it is more than words.

 ….

"Everything I said is true, you have to believe me, Mr. Criminal!!"

Under Chiba's escort, Shimizu Masao walked towards the door, and the other party was forced to walk out, shouting loudly at Police Officer Mumu, trying to convince him of his innocence.

It's a pity that under the current situation of finding nothing, this guy with serious suspicion will definitely not be let go.

"Well, Mr. Criminal, can we leave?"

After seeing Masataka Shimizu being taken away, the three people in the room beside him, Mijima and Ishikawa, also came out one after another.

"Well, no problem." Hearing Kijima Mitsu's inquiry, Officer Megure nodded without any intention of stopping him.

In his opinion, the three of them were completely innocent.

"Sorry, the other two can leave, but Mr. Kijima, you should come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us."

It's just that when the three of Kijima were greeting each other and were about to leave, Tang Ze suddenly called out to each other.

"Eh? Brother Tang Ze? This is..." Officer Mumu was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Mitsuki Kijima with a look of scrutiny on his face.

It's no wonder that Police Officer Mumu reacted in such a way, after all, he trusted Tang Ze very much, and he also knew that the other party was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense casually.

This also means that Tang Ze has indeed found evidence that the other party is seriously suspected!

"Criminal, what do you mean by that?" Mujima Miki, who stood still, looked back at Tang Ze with a smile and said, "Could it be that you suspect that I'm a criminal?"

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Tang Ze asked back as a matter of course, affirming the other party's words.

"Since you say that, then you have to show evidence!" Kijima Mitsu's face was gloomy, and his tone became stiff in an instant.

"Mr. Ishikawa, I would like to ask when and where did you meet Mr. Kijima today?"

Facing Miki Kijima's questioning, Tang Ze completely ignored him, instead he looked at Jiro Ishikawa and asked.

After hearing what the two said, Jiro Ishikawa, who was a little confused, didn't think about it anymore, but replied honestly: "We made an appointment to meet in front of the Mihua Department Store before three o'clock."

"Wait, Mr. Criminal."

Hearing the tit-for-tat words of the two, Ishikawa hurriedly defended his friend: "Kujima has been with us all the time, how could he have time to kill people?"

"That's right, even if we act separately, we can only go to the public phone." Yoko Nakamura also echoed: "But at that time, the editor-in-chief has already been killed."

"Mr. Kijima, then I would like to ask you, where and what did you do before three o'clock?" Tang Ze looked at Miji Mujima and asked.

"This..."

Hearing Tang Ze's words, the gloominess in Kijima's eyes flashed away, and then he said with a flat smile, "I just did some chores."

"Is it a chore?" Tang Ze chuckled lightly, "Is it a chore? Or a major murder?"

"Why do you guys start talking nonsense?" Mujima said in a bad tone, "Can criminals frame people casually!?"

"And Detective Maori also saw the photo sent by editor Umeda with us." Ishikawa also quickly defended his friend: "It can't be fake."

"I can prove this." Mori Kogoro also said: "I did see the text message sent by Ms. Umeda at that time."

"For text messages, as long as there are photos, it is enough to use her mobile phone to send text messages after killing Ms. Umeda. It is not certain that it is the real person." Tang Ze shook his head and denied the proof.

"What about the forensic doctor?" Yoko Nakamura looked at Tang Ze and said, "Didn't the forensic doctor determine the time of Miss Umeda's death before? Could it be that you want to say that the forensic doctor made a mistake in his judgment!?"

"Your question is good, but it misses one point."

Tang Ze shook his head, looked at Mujima with an ugly face, and said with a light smile, "Could it be that Mr. Mujima tampered with the corpse, delaying the freezing time of the corpse, and making Mr. Cheng Shi misjudge the death time of the corpse? .”

"You mean that the real time of Miss Umeda's death doesn't match what the body showed?" After listening to Tang Ze's words, Police Officer Ming Mugure asked in surprise.

"That's right, that's the truth."

Tang Ze sighed slightly: "After death, a person becomes a dead thing, and the changes in his body are not as hard to change as in a living person.

Before our street police came here, I think Miss Umeda's body has been kept in a cold place, so as to delay the occurrence of body stiffness after Miss Umeda's death. "

But when Tang Ze's words fell, Miki Kijima couldn't help sneering the next moment as if he heard something funny.
