In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 176 The Posture of the Dead (22)

"How strange! The camera didn't capture it. Could it be that there is a way to avoid the camera?"

The female detective in charge of checking the surveillance video said with a confused look on her face.

"No, there is no such path."

The staff of Kosenan nearby flatly denied it.

"Then it's simple. The murderer is either among the staff or he lives on the first floor."

Sera Masumi said.

There are only two rooms for guests on the first floor of Guquan'an.

Both rooms are extremely luxurious suites with private open-air hot springs.

Inspector Okamura further questioned the detective who was responsible for searching the rooms on the first floor, but he said that he did not find anything suspicious.

"Could it be that you didn't search carefully enough and missed it?"

Inspector Okamura looked at his subordinate police officer and asked.

"It shouldn't be. I even asked Guquan'an to retrieve the registration information of the residents on the first floor when they checked in."

"I compared the information of the occupants of the rooms on the first floor recorded above, and they are all consistent with the occupants in the rooms, so the deceased is definitely not a resident of these two rooms."

The detective in charge of investigating the room on the first floor said.

"Could it be that the deceased was a staff member of Kosenan?"

Inspector Okamura added, looking at the staff member beside him and asked:
"Have you noticed that any of your colleagues have suddenly disappeared or are late for work?"

The staff member went to confirm, and when he came back he said that all the staff were there.

“This is weird”

Inspector Okamura was confused, then looked at the police from the Identification Division and gave an order:
"Go to the two rooms on the first floor and do a luminol blood test. Dismemberment is not something that will leave no traces."

The police officer from the forensic department agreed, knocked on the doors of the two rooms, and walked in with tools.

Conan wandered in the corridor of the accommodation area on the first floor.

He discovered that in addition to the two rooms for guests, there was another room in the accommodation area on the first floor.

"I want to ask, what is this room used for?"

Conan looked at the staff member of Kosenan and asked.

"Ah, this is the boss's personal room. It is not available for tourists to stay in."

the staff member answered.

"So that's it."

Inspector Okamura added as he walked to the door of the room and knocked.

After knocking on the door for a long time, it was finally opened.

Then, Conan and Inspector Okamura met Kunio Koizumi, the owner of Koizumi-an, whom they had met yesterday.

Along with Kunio Koizumi appeared a strong smell of alcohol.

"Come to think of it, when the case happened yesterday, Mr. Koizumi came out to check on the situation."

"But today, Mr. Koizumi stayed in his room the whole time."

Conan put on an innocent look and smiled at the somewhat depressed Kunio Koizumi.

His words immediately aroused the suspicion of Masumi Sera and Inspector Okamura.

Both of them looked towards Kunio Koizumi.

"That's because I drank too late last night, so I haven't woken up from my hangover yet."

"If you hadn't knocked on the door just now, I would have continued to sleep."

Kunio Koizumi said with a tired look on his face.

And his statement did not convince the people present.

"Excuse me, Mr. Koizumi. We need to search your room."

Inspector Okamura was the first to walk into Kunio Koizumi's room, and Masumi Sera and Conan followed closely. Then everyone discovered that Kunio Koizumi's room was completely different from other rooms rented to guests that lacked a sense of life.

Kunio Koizumi's room looks no different from that of an ordinary home.

The room is fully equipped with furniture and appliances, including washing machines, refrigerators, computers, and even microwave ovens and coffee machines.

At first glance, there was nothing strange about Kunio Koizumi's room.

But Masumi Sera keenly noticed that there was a cup filled with liquid on the desk where the computer was placed, and on the dining table in the next room.

"There is only Kunio Koizumi in this room, but there are two cups of water being used."

Masumi Sera sensed something was wrong, so she picked up the cup and took a quick sniff.

After she put down the cup, she came to the sink again, and when she saw two toothbrushes there, she confirmed her guess.

She walked back to the living room and said to Koizumi Kunio:
"Mr. Koizumi, do you live here alone?"

"My friends come over to stay sometimes," replied Kunio Koizumi.

"Do you have any friends who often come to stay with you?"

"No."

"You're lying, Mr. Koizumi."

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi spoke directly.

"I saw two toothbrushes placed in front of your sink. If someone didn't come to stay here often, you wouldn't place someone else's toothbrush there, right?"

"Also, the cup on the desk and the cup on the dining table here are filled with the same tea."

"If one of these cups was not prepared by Mr. Koizumi for the friend who stayed with you yesterday, then you poured yourself two cups of the same tea and didn't finish either one, right?"

"Well, that's not surprising, right? I just forgot there was a cup of tea over there."

Kunio Koizumi hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"That's not a bad thing to say, but I'm sure that in that case, the surveillance camera didn't capture your friend entering Kozenan."

As Sera Masumi said this, he turned and looked at Inspector Okamura.

Inspector Okamura immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly called in the police from the Forensic Division, who began conducting a luminol blood test on the inside of Kunio Koizumi's room using the luminol reagent.

Seeing this scene, Kunio Guquan's expression began to turn ugly.

And his reaction did not escape Sera Masumi's eyes.

A few moments.

The results of the luminol blood test were revealed.

After the police from the Forensic Division sprayed luminol reagent in Kunio Koizumi's bathroom, they found that a large area of ​​luminol reaction had occurred on the bathtub, floor and walls of the bathroom.

"Mr. Koizumi, you were the one who dismembered the deceased, right? Right in this bathroom."

Masumi Sera stared at Kunio Koizumi and asked.

Kunio Koizumi did not admit it, but remained silent.

After carefully observing Kunio Koizumi's room, Conan's eyes finally fell on the laptop on the desk.

After a moment, Conan's heart suddenly moved, and then he said loudly:

"I thought of it!"

Everyone present was startled by Conan's roar, and then looked towards Conan.

Conan realized that he was a little too excited and pointed at the computer over there awkwardly.

Masumi Sera looked in the direction Conan pointed.

Soon, her unique deep green eyes suddenly widened.

"So that's it."

"The posture the murderer wanted to conceal by dismembering the body was exactly the posture of using a computer!"

When Kunio Koizumi heard what Masumi Sera said, his face lost color in an instant.
