Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1574: The reunion of two kendo girls after thirty years

"I think the whole process should be like this-

"In the early morning of this day, you prepared a meal on the table for Mr. Shibata who came back late. After he ate a few bites as a midnight snack, you found an excuse to let him into the study, and then you attacked Mr. Shibata from behind with the wooden sword on the entrance, causing his death.

"In this way, after completing the crime, at five o'clock in the morning, your best friend will come to pick you up, so that someone can accompany you throughout the day, so that it is convenient for you to create an alibi.

"After that, after seven o'clock in the evening, you returned home and took out today's morning newspaper from the mailbox outside and put it next to the meal that was supposed to be a midnight snack, so that people would mistakenly believe that it was the breakfast that the deceased had after six o'clock in the morning, thereby confirming your alibi.

"After making these arrangements, you heard the phone message that Mr. Yoshikawa called here, until he was about to come here to find Mr. Shibata, so you only needed to leave the scene, and when Mr. Shibata became the first discoverer of the case, pretend to have just returned, and your alibi would be basically perfect.

"But you didn't expect that when you came back at night and saw Mr. Shibata's body in the study, you immediately found that the wedding ring on his hand was missing, so you immediately noticed that the ring was taken off the deceased's hand and held in his hand before he died, as a message of death that could correct you, so you could only find a way to forcibly take the ring from the deceased's hand.

"But in this case, because the body of the deceased was already stiff, if he didn't hold something in his hand, the deceased's movements would look very strange, so you thought of the news about the photo you heard yesterday, found the photo and stuffed it into the deceased's hand, so as to further mislead the subsequent police judgment.

"As for the band-aids on the deceased's hands, they were all pasted on by you later to cover up the traces after the ring was taken off, but in this case, the difference in the bloodstains will completely expose that these band-aids were not pasted on by the deceased before his death."

Gao Yuan reviewed the whole incident in full view of everyone's surprise, and then realized something and added the last and most critical point:

"Of course, the above are just inferences and cannot directly prove that you, Ms. Shibata, are the murderer. But I think the key evidence is still in your hands. You should not have time to deal with the wedding ring that you forcibly took from the deceased, and if you throw it away casually, it may be found by others, so this key evidence should still be in your hands! ”

In this way, Gao Yuan gave the final decisive evidence, which made Ms. Shibata Kyoko, who was already shocked by Gao Yuan's series of words, completely give up resistance. After a blood-stained wedding ring was taken out of Shibata Kyoko's pocket and thrown on the ground, Shibata Kyoko's expression gradually changed from panic to a bitter smile:

"Humph... As expected, you still can't do bad things... But why don't my husband and Mr. Yoshikawa's bad things get exposed? Don't you think it's unfair? "

Speaking of this, Shibata Kyoko seemed a little hysterical-

It turned out that Shibata Shiro and Yoshikawa Takezo were mahjong players, but the mahjong they played was not the kind of pastime that ordinary people played, but a big bet with a huge amount of money at stake!

Thanks to them, the things in the house were sold one by one, and in the end even her beloved golf clubs and the sword that her father gave her as a wedding gift were almost sold by her husband.

So, thinking of this, it felt that this family had been ruined by her husband. In such a situation, and she was forced into a desperate situation, Shibata Kyoko finally decided to kill her husband and put an end to it.

This explanation made Yoshikawa Takezo, who was present, feel scared, but after all, it was Shibata Kyoko who committed the murder, so Yokomizo Sango prepared to arrest her.

At this point, it seemed that she did not intend to resist. Shibata Kyoko planned to go back to her room first on the pretext of changing clothes before leaving with the police.

However, Gao Yuan stopped her from doing this.

"Is the sword you just mentioned in the room? You don't want to end it all like this, do you?"

Gao Yuan said this out of the blue, and Shibata Kyoko, who had this idea, was stunned.

Of course, Shibata Kyoko was not the only one who was surprised by this.

"Your expression now is no different from that of a person who wants to die. Although your life is in a mess because of your husband's gambling, you have made a big mistake, but you have escaped from the endless torture. Life is still long, don't do stupid things. "

At this time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but advise like this-

Because, in the original work, at the end of this incident, Shibata Kyoko took the family's precious sword and wanted to commit suicide with it, but the new appearance of Ms. Ikenami Shizuka showed her skills and avoided the accident with the other party's sword.

However, since I am here now, I will naturally not let this happen.

So, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Shibata Kyoko, who completely collapsed and cried, was taken away by the police officers under Yokomizo Sango.

Then, the remaining questions——

"By the way, Brother Mingzhi, do you know this Ms. Ikeba?"

Because he had a deep impression of Ms. Ikeba's lies, after seeing that Gao Yuan knew her, Conan couldn't help but step forward and ask about her identity in a low voice.

In response, Gao Yuan did not answer Conan directly, but walked to Ms. Ikeba and said politely:

"Aunt, I didn't expect you to come to Tokyo after we parted in Osaka. It's really unexpected."

"Aunt!"

After hearing this, Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan were all shocked and asked nervously what was going on.

So Gao Yuan explained:

"Because, this is Hattori Heiji's mother, Ms. Hattori Shizuka! During the trip to Osaka, you hurried back to Tokyo because of the news about Murakami-jo, and didn't stay overnight at Hattori Heiji's house, so you didn't see her!"

For a moment, Xiaolan and others who heard this were even more surprised, especially when they saw that the other person's skin color was completely different from Hattori Heiji.

In this regard, seeing that Gao Yuan had revealed everything, Hattori Shizuka could not help but say:

"Because you didn't stay overnight at my house last time you came to Osaka, I wondered what kind of person the Mori detective that Heiji had been talking about would be, so I thought of coming to see him. As for the fact that I didn't reveal my identity directly, but used my surname before marriage, it was also a test from me! I'm really a little embarrassed."

So, after hearing this explanation, Maori Kogoro and others didn't know what to say for a while after leaving Shibata's house, especially Maori Kogoro He wanted to show his courtesy, but now he found out that the other party was the wife of the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. This made Maori Kogoro feel very embarrassed. Therefore, Gao Yuan was the one who chatted with the other party along the way:

"By the way, did Auntie come here specially to visit Detective Maori this time? Didn't Hattori Heiji and the others come?"

- After all, in his impression, after this incident in the original work, there should be a chapter on Mermaid Island, but he had participated in and solved the incident on Mermaid Island a year ago, so what has the plot started to change into?

Just as Gao Yuan was thinking this, Hattori Shizuka looked at the photo of the kendo competition that she took back, and seemed to be a little nostalgic. Then when she was thinking about answering Gao Yuan-

But in a luxury car parked on the side of the road, Michiko Tie with brown curly hair pulled down the window and looked at Gao Yuan, especially noticing Hattori Shizuka next to Gao Yuan.

In response, Shizuka Hattori also noticed Tetsu Michiko's gaze and turned her head to see Tetsu Michiko's figure. She then overlapped her figure with the brown-haired girl walking in the background of the photo in her hand...
