Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1573 Another original incident of copying answers

It was a little abrupt. When seeing Gao Yuan actually appear at Mr. Shibata's house in Shizuoka Prefecture, those present, whether it was Officer Yokomizo Sango or Maori Kogoro, who heard what he just said, all looked surprised at Gao Yuan who said this. Yokomizo Sango stepped forward first and said with an embarrassed smile:

"This... Mr. Akechi, what do you mean?"

Because Yokomizo Sango had seen Gao Yuan's reasoning ability in the previous incident on Izu Beach, although in this case, he still admired Maori Kogoro a little more, but it is undeniable that Gao Yuan's words should also be listened to, so he responded with such an attitude.

But Shibata Shiro's wife, Ms. Shibata Kyoko, obviously didn't know Gao Yuan. She saw a young man she didn't know suddenly walked in and said directly that the woman who had contacted her husband by phone yesterday and called the detective today because she didn't know where her husband was, Ms. Ikenami, was not the murderer. This obviously made her unacceptable, so she couldn't help but step forward and said:

"Hey! Officer, who is this person? You come here and talk nonsense without knowing anything. What makes you say that this suspicious woman is not the murderer who killed my husband? Are you an accomplice of this woman?"

"Yes! Why are you here?"

And immediately afterwards, Maori Kogoro seemed to be surprised that Gao Yuan appeared here, so he couldn't help asking this question.

In this regard, Gao Yuan did not respond to Maori Kogoro first, but faced the speech of Ms. Shibata, waved his hand and said casually:

"It is true that I do know this lady, but to prove that this lady is not the murderer, this kind of argument obviously cannot convince you. I'd better keep it simple and find out who the murderer is directly, so that the truth will naturally come out."

As he said this, the people present were shocked and felt that Gao Yuan's words were unbelievable-

He, just came here, right? How...

Obviously, he and others have been watching the scene for so long, but they still have no clues...

At this moment, Conan, especially, was shocked to hear Gao Yuan say this directly.

In this regard, seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Gao Yuan naturally understood what they were thinking, but he didn't expect that after coming here, he found that he encountered the original case, and there was no change in the details. For him, the so-called reasoning is just copying the answer. There is no need to waste time on mystery. He has more important things to investigate.

Therefore, Gao Yuan first explained:

"Before coming in, I briefly learned about the incident from the police here."

After saying this, Gao Yuan had the so-called "reasoning" that follows:

"Based on the body, the time of death of the deceased was between early morning and morning, and based on the unfinished food on the table, it can be judged that the deceased was killed after 6 o'clock in the morning when he was having breakfast, right? This eliminates the suspicion of the lady who went out early in the morning, right?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Yokomizo Sango replied affirmatively.

"Then what basis do you have to judge that the unfinished food on the table is breakfast?"

In this way, Gao Yuan asked such a question somewhat unexpectedly, which made Yokomizo Sango and Maori Kogoro who were present at the scene couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, Maori Kogoro seemed to have heard something interesting, and he laughed and said:

"Haha, you can only say this because you haven't seen the scene, right? If you come in and take a look now, you will know that the unfinished food on the table can only be breakfast!"

So, Maori Kogoro said this, and was about to pull Gao Yuan in to take a look at the dining room in the room.

But Conan was thoughtful at this time, and began to think about the meaning of Gao Yuan's question. Then, just when Conan seemed to think of something, Gao Yuan continued:

"Of course I know what the scene is like. I have just heard the police outside. Compared with the half-eaten rice and fish, the key to making you identify it as breakfast at a glance is actually the morning newspaper, right?"

Hearing this, the others have not reacted yet, but Conan's thoughts suddenly dawned on him——

So that's it! So that's it! So, this alibi is...

"Because there was a morning newspaper on the dining table that was supposed to be delivered after 6 a.m., you subconsciously thought that the unfinished meal was the breakfast that the deceased had while reading the newspaper in the morning, right...

"But, Officer Yokomizo, I think you can check the fingerprints on this newspaper now to see if there are fingerprints of the deceased, and you should understand!"

So, after saying this, Gao Yuan took the initiative to look at the deceased's wife, Ms. Shibata Kyoko, and saw a nervous look on her face. Gao Yuan continued to smile lightly, and when Yokomizo Sanwu finished listening to what he had just said and was about to ask the police to check the fingerprints on the newspaper, he continued:

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, there should be no fingerprints of the deceased on this newspaper. After all, when this newspaper was brought into the house from the mailbox outside, the deceased's hands had already been unable to move due to rigor mortis. Therefore, even if the murderer tried his best to take away the death message left in the deceased's hands, he could not change the situation that the deceased's hands were holding something, so he could only think of using the photo to confuse the police investigation."

While speaking, Gao Yuan walked towards the death scene in the study, and then saw Gao Yuan put on white gloves on both hands, and after motioning Henggou Chanwu to come over and take a look, he spread out the deceased's right palm that was originally holding the photo--

"And the evidence is here! In the palm of the right hand of the deceased, there should have been He was holding a ring-shaped object. "

As he said this, Yokomizo Sango, as well as Maori Kogoro, Conan and others who followed him, also saw the ring-shaped bloodstain on the palm of the dead man's hand--

"Judging from the shape, this should be a ring, right? And the part on the other hand of the dead man, where the wedding ring should have been, did not have a ring, but was wrapped with a band-aid instead..."

Slightly amusing, Gao Yuan pointed to the obvious marks on the body and said--

These means of concealing the truth are just a simple cover-up of the surface. If the body is sent to the police for a careful examination, all the marks will be discovered. Even if there is no detective in this case, the murderer can only conceal it for a while.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan stood up and looked at the deceased's wife, Ms. Shibata Kyoko -

"So, what I said was right, right? The criminal who came back after 7 o'clock in the evening and immediately took the morning newspaper from the mailbox into the house and put it on the dining table, pretending that the food on the table was breakfast this morning, thereby misleading the police about the time of death and creating an alibi for himself -

"Ms. Shibata, it's you!"
