Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 184 Where did the murder weapon go?

"Yes, something happened, and I may have to go back later."

Gao Cheng walked to the side and called Hui Yuan, pondered for a while, and looked at the forensic personnel passing by.

For a detective, of course, the more cases he challenges, the better, not to mention that he can exchange cases for cards, but he still hates cases happening in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Walking into the room with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fell on Butler Shigematsu who was bathed in the flashlight of the forensic personnel.

The fatal wound was on the chest, and there was almost no trace of fighting when he was killed by a knife. However, the blood from the wound spurted out heavily, and it should have splashed on the murderer. What needs to be found is not only the murder knife, but also the blood-stained clothes.

Judging from the situation in the secret room, the murderer might have escaped through the balcony, but there was no trace of blood on the balcony...

"What about this cat?" A forensic officer pointed to the gray cat found behind the corpse.

"Oh, it's Mr. Senyuan's cat," Gao Cheng picked up the lazy gray cat, and handed it to the owner of Senyuan regardless of the gray cat's struggle.

The gray cat settled down and huddled obediently in the arms of the owner of Senyuan, and was finally carried away by the eldest daughter Baihe Jiang of Senyuan.

"Has this cat stayed at the scene?" Hattori looked at the gray cat and asked.

"It's useless even if it's here, cats can't talk." Uncle Mao Li was not interested in whether the cat was there or not, but he just saw the gray cat being very affectionate with Senyuan Baihejiang, and sighed, "This cat really likes Miss Senyuan. "

"Because Baihejiang is very similar to his deceased wife," Mori said, "Juren and I are better only when we feed it."

"But how did it get here?"

"Police department!" Takagi found Meguro, "It has been confirmed, and only the reporters who came with us after the incident came in and out of the courtyard during this time."

"Really?" Mu Mu cheered up, "That means the murderer is still in this house!"

"Almost all the servants here ate at the restaurant an hour before the body was found, and then began to discuss the process of tomorrow's wedding," Takagi looked at the owner of Mori Garden and said, "The only ones who don't have a clear proof of absence are the ones here. 5 people."

"I see," Mu Mu said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you guys separately in a moment, and now I'll do a simple search and go to the room to wait for orders!"

The search for the murder weapon continued, but nothing was found inside the house or even in the courtyard outside.

The murder weapon and the bloody clothes seemed to have completely disappeared. Gao Cheng went to the balcony of the room where the incident happened to see it, and then went downstairs to investigate, but he couldn't find any clues. It stands to reason that if the murderer escaped through the balcony, he would leave some traces. .

Walking to the door, Hattori and Conan stood together. No matter whether the two had as much emotion as him, they were completely immersed in the incident, which seemed to be a bit of competition and cooperation.

"Kudou..." Hattori looked at the police officers who were searching and investigating in the courtyard, and asked Conan next to him, "What time did you find it?"

"Four points." Conan stretched out four fingers affirmatively.

There was a gleam of joy on Hattori's face: "As expected, you also found four suspicious points!"

Conan was not complacent, but said calmly: "The first is the murder weapon that the murderer took away from the scene. Since it is going to be a secret room to kill people, if the murder weapon is next to the corpse, the possibility of being considered suicide increases, and it is not easy for him to be suspected..."

"The second is the blood stains on the dragged corpse," Hattori also said in a deep voice, "Why did you have to drag the corpse to the next room?"

"The third is that only the room where the body was found was lit."

"The fourth point is even weirder."

Hattori and Conan looked at each other and laughed at the same time: "Is that the cat?"

Gao Cheng leaned his back against the wall, and in front of him was the flickering system light curtain.

He can use the one-minute mode directly, and may be able to reproduce the scene once, but it is appropriate to collect some more clues.

He has no idea of ​​competing fairly with Conan and Hattori. Since there is a way to help solve the case, of course he must find out the truth as soon as possible, not to mention helping Butler Shigematsu catch the murderer. This incident itself is related to the exchange of ability cards.

It would be funny if it didn't solve the case earlier.

After standing for a while, Gao Cheng followed Officer Megure to interrogate the five suspects.

The owner of Mori Garden said that he had made an appointment to talk to Butler Shigematsu, so he was waiting in the study when the incident happened.

The eldest daughter Baihejiang is taking a bath.

The eldest son, Juren, read magazines and listened to music in the room.

The servant Sakuraba is looking for cats everywhere according to the orders of the owner of Mori Garden.

Only Piantongfeng's confession was questionable, saying that he took a nap in his room, but Baihejiang went to take a bath with her, and no one in the room responded.

Gao Cheng took a special look at Pian Tongfeng.

Take a small book to compare the characteristics of several suspects.

Kaede Katagiri was very strange when he was at the Meiji Shrine. It seemed that he didn't really want to marry into the Moriyuan family, but there was no big reason to kill the housekeeper Shigematsu. Through the conversation, I learned that the housekeeper Shigematsu was only acting as a liaison between her and the Moriyuan family. Just a matchmaker.

However, a reporter revealed that Chrysanthemum Morizono had put pressure on Kaede Kaede Kata's father's company to force her to agree to the marriage.

As for Senyuan Juren, he suffers from fear of heights and it is difficult to escape from the balcony.

The owner of Mori Garden was inconvenient due to a car accident, and it was also difficult to escape from the balcony.

Speaking of which, the male servant Sakuraniwa is very skilled, and it should be easy to leave the balcony without borrowing a rope, but this man has no reason to let the cat stay on the spot.

Finally, there is the eldest daughter Yuri Mori, who is very close to the gray cat, and she hasn't found any problems yet.

After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng found Kaedong Feng alone.

"Miss Xiaofeng," Gao Cheng opened his mouth to meet the girl's worried eyes and asked, "Can you please tell me the truth? You don't want Butler Shigesong to die for no apparent reason, do you? And if this continues, the police may bring I'll go with you or Miss Baihejiang."

"I……"

Pian Tongfeng lowered his head and couldn't open his mouth, Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly.

He doesn't know whether Kaede Katagiri is for himself or to protect someone, it doesn't matter anymore, he now wants to reproduce the scene in one minute mode, and first deduce the location of the murder weapon.

Once the murder weapon is found, he believes that with his own ability, he can find the murderer before Conan and the other two.

Returning to the room where the crime took place, Gao Cheng went through the details of the case again.

Broken glass, locked doors and windows, blood stains from dragged corpses, dead bodies in the next room, alibi murder weapon, cats in the room, blood stains on door bolts, glass with small holes in the corners, and There is a conflict between Senyuan Chrysanthemum and Sakuraba...

Gao Cheng walked slowly, the surrounding scene changed rapidly, and he returned to the time when the crime happened.

After killing the housekeeper Shigematsu, the murderer dragged the body to the next door, and then...

Instead of going back to the next room to break the glass, because there are no corresponding traces, the murderer opened the French window of the balcony with blood-stained gloves, disposed of the murder weapon and the bloody clothes in some way, and then broke the window on the other side to attract attention.

Gao Cheng frowned, and stopped on the balcony.

Normally speaking, it is indeed possible to lock from the outside through the small hole on the floor-to-ceiling window, and at the same time escape through the balcony, and it is also suspicious that the glass with the small hole happened to be broken during the previous conflict between Morien Kikuto and Sakuraba, as if to vandalism.

But when you look at all the details together, something is wrong.

Gao Cheng closed his eyes, decomposed the clues again, and rewinded the situation when he found the body in his mind.

Hearing the call of the leaves, Yuhe Jiang Mori arrived first, followed by the owner of Mori Garden, the servants Sakuraba and Kaede Katagiri, and finally Chrysanthemum Mori Yuan also arrived at the scene.

The murderer should have pretended to hear the cry like the others at that time.

If that's all, there's absolutely no need to drag the corpse into the inner room, unless you want to lead everyone to the inner room.

The reason for doing this...

Gao Cheng opened his eyes suddenly.

There is also a possibility that the murderer did not escape from the balcony at all, but hid in the next room after breaking the window. After they broke open the door, their attention was immediately attracted by the broken window and the bloodstains on the ground, without thinking too much about it. Duo directly followed the bloodstains to find the murdered butler Shigematsu.

In this way, Senyuan Chrysanthemum who has a fear of heights, the owner of Senyuan who has inconvenient legs and feet, and even the remaining two women may be able to do it.

However, there is only one most suspicious person.

The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth turned up, and he looked straight at the big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves outside the balcony.

In any case, there was no trace on the balcony, and the only place where the murder weapon could be disposed of was difficult for the police to find. No one would have thought that the murder weapon would be among the branches. It was probably the murder weapon tied together with the bloody coat and thrown there.

What was left was the gray cat that was left at the scene. If it wasn't a coincidence, it was the murderer who wanted to frame the servant Sakuraba.

Because of looking for a cat, Sakuraba will not have an alibi like other servants, and on the surface, it seems that only the skilled Sakuraba can commit crimes.

The murderer was Senyuan Chrysanthemum. That's right. When the body was discovered, almost all the others arrived one after another. Only Senyuan Chrysanthemum appeared quietly at the end. No one saw whether he entered the room from the outside.

However, even if it is known that the murderer is Chrysanthemum Morien, there is no conclusive evidence to explain the problem.

I can't say that after reappearing at the scene, I am sure that the murderer is Morien Kikuto...

Gao Cheng left the balcony and almost bumped into Conan Hattori head-on.

"Hey, Kido, did you find anything?" Hattori couldn't help asking.

He couldn't help being surprised, Gao Cheng was a little too quiet, but judging from the previous situation, he shouldn't be worse than him and Kudou.

"One thing, how about you?" Gao Cheng also wanted to find two people to deal with the clues. He still doesn't know Senyuan Juren's motives.

After all, the housekeeper Shigematsu has worked for the Moriyuan family for so many years no matter what, how much hatred is there to kill him like this.

"We found another key to solving the mystery," Hattori beamed when it came to solving the case, and explained with Conan's eyes, "Kito, you must have never imagined that Miss Xiaofeng actually likes Mr. Sakuraba. This is most likely a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

"Ah?" Gao Cheng really didn't expect it, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"We also saw just now that Mr. Sakuraba is wearing the same necklace and pendant as Miss Xiaofeng. If it wasn't for the close relationship, it wouldn't be like this, right?"

"Necklace pendant..."

Gao Cheng had noticed the necklace on Kaede Katagiri's neck a long time ago, and thought it was just an ordinary decoration.

What is this called, the fiancé murdered and blamed the real boyfriend...

"The situation of the two of them is very similar to that of Uncle Shigenatsu in the past. I heard that Mrs. Moriyuan also liked Uncle Shigengatsu, but Mr. Moriyuan proposed to her because of a misunderstanding." Hattori looked at the Patriarch Moriyuan on the other side and said, "But This time, it was Uncle Chongsong who misunderstood and proposed marriage for Young Master Juren."

Gao Cheng thought of the news revealed by the reporter before, and said, "It's really...complicated."

"What about you?" Hattori finished speaking and looked at Gao Cheng, "Should you have found something?"

"Me? I probably know where the murder weapon is."

"what?"
