In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 177 Confession? (12)

The posture of using a computer is somewhat similar to the posture of driving. Both are the kind of postures that, as long as you see them, you can understand what the deceased was doing before he or she died.

For example, when driving, at least one arm will be raised to hold the steering wheel.

When using a computer, you sit with your arms slightly extended forward.

After observing the layout and furnishings in Kunio Koizumi's room, Conan and Masumi Sera guessed that he wanted to cover up his intention by dismembering the body.

"Mr. Koizumi, you dismembered your friend in the bathroom, right?"

"You then tried to mask the smell in the bathroom by using alcohol."

In response to Sera Masumi's questions, Koizumi Kunio remained silent.

"Mr. Koizumi, even if you don't tell me, once the forensic police confirm that the DNA in the blood in your bathroom matches that of the deceased, they will be able to confirm your suspicion."

"Besides, as the boss of Kosen-an, it would be easy for you to get the knives for dismembering corpses, right?"

Kanagawa Prefectural Police Inspector Okamura spoke to Kunio Koizumi with a serious expression.

Originally, everyone thought that Kunio Koizumi would continue to resist.

But he didn't expect that after hearing what Inspector Okamura said, he directly admitted his crime:
"Yes, I killed Kawasaki."

"This bastard treated my place as a free resort. I drank last night and got angrier and angrier, so I just killed him!"

Inspector Okamura was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although the police from the forensic department conducted a luminol blood test in Kunio Koizumi's bathroom, the results showed that there was a large area of ​​blood in Kunio Koizumi's bathroom.

However, the police have not yet found any direct evidence that Kunio Koizumi committed murder, and the murder weapon has not been found.

Kunio Koizumi admitted his crime at this moment, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Just as Inspector Okamura took out the handcuffs to handcuff Kunio Koizumi and was about to take him back to the police station, he suddenly heard Conan's anxious voice:

"No, Officer Okamura, Mr. Koizumi is lying!"

Inspector Okamura looked at Conan with confusion, and his expression revealed his strong distrust of Conan, a primary school student.

That expression seemed to say:
What do you know, little brat?
However, Sera Masumi's subsequent remarks forced him to face up to the matter.

"Officer Okamura, Conan-kun is right. Mr. Koizumi is indeed lying."

"The motive he described is very different from the actual situation."

A few minutes ago, Masumi Sera had already determined that Kunio Koizumi wanted to dismember the body to cover up the deceased's posture of using the computer.

And the pale look on Kunio Koizumi's face after hearing Sera Masumi's description also proved that Sera Masumi's guess was correct.

But in Kunio Koizumi's confession just now, it had nothing to do with computers.

"Excuse me, Officer Okamura, can you please ask the forensic officers to collect fingerprints from the computer?"

"I think that if we just believe Mr. Koizumi's confession, the truth of the matter will most likely be buried."

Before Inspector Okamura could answer, Kunio Koizumi suddenly became excited after hearing what Masumi Sera said.

He began to shout at Inspector Okamura:
"I'm not lying, officer, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"This is the truth of the matter!"

Originally, Inspector Okamura felt that it was unnecessary to continue the on-site investigation when the suspect had already confessed.

Wouldn't it be possible to just ask Kunio Koizumi to reveal where the murder weapon is?
However, Kunio Koizumi's sudden abnormal reaction made him realize that something was wrong.

"Could it be that this guy is really hiding something?"

Inspector Okamura thought to himself and sent the police from the Identification Division to collect fingerprints from the computer keyboard. At the same time, he also sent police to confirm the identity of the deceased.

The police continued their investigation as if Kunio Koizumi had not confessed at all.

A few moments.

The police from the forensic department collected fingerprints of multiple people on the computer keyboard.

After comparing the fingerprints with those of the deceased, the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the deceased had indeed touched the computer.

Soon, the identity of the deceased was confirmed.

The deceased was named Ryo Kawasaki. He was working as an algorithm engineer at a large IT company in Tokyo and was a highly skilled programmer.

Many staff members of Koizumi'an said that Kawasaki Ryo and their boss often drank together, and when Kawasaki Ryo came, he basically stayed in Koizumi Kunio's room.

So far, the actual situation is not much different from Kunio Koizumi's confession.

But when they were asked whether Kawasaki Ryo had ever had a conflict with Koizumi Kunio, or whether Koizumi Kunio had ever shown impatience or complaints towards Kawasaki Ryo, the answers the police received were surprisingly consistent -

Kunio Koizumi and Ryo Kawasaki have a very good relationship, and there has never been any friction between the two.

After a careful investigation of the surveillance cameras, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police discovered that Kawasaki Ryo had entered Kozenan a week ago.

It never reappeared after that.

Even when eating, Kawasaki Ryo never left the room.

It was Kunio Koizumi who sent people to deliver the meals to the rooms.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Kawasaki seemed a little strange yesterday."

A staff member in charge of delivering meals said.

"Yesterday at noon, when I was delivering food to Mr. Kawasaki, I knocked on the door for a long time before Mr. Kawasaki came out to get the food."

"And Mr. Kawasaki looked very anxious and looked very bad at the time."

"She looks much more haggard than when I last saw her, and has dark circles under her eyes."

"Then when I brought him food at six o'clock last night, there was no response from the room, so I had to take the food back."

Sera Masumi listened to the staff's description and then asked:
"Mr. Kawasaki didn't have these symptoms the day before yesterday, did he?"

"I don't know about the day before yesterday, because when I delivered the food a few days ago, it was always Mr. Koizumi who came out to get the food."

"And yesterday, Mr. Koizumi was away from Koizumi-an for half a day because he was dealing with a poisoning case, so I was able to meet Mr. Kawasaki."

"Um…"

Sera Masumi fell into deep thought.

"This is quite different from what Kunio Koizumi described."

"According to him, Kawasaki Ryo treated his place as a free vacation."

"But if Kawasaki Ryo is really on vacation, would he stay in his room for a week?"

"And Kawasaki Ryo was clearly here for vacation, but he ended up looking even more haggard after a week of vacation."

"Besides, if Koizumi Kunio really hated Kawasaki Ryo, why would he stay in the room with him and bring him food every day?"

Based on the staff's description, Sera Masumi's doubts grew stronger.
