Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 48 Ashtray

After everyone finished greeting each other, Inspector Megure straightened his collar and turned to look at Okino Yoko: "By the way, this room is really hot. Do you always turn on the air conditioner so strongly?"

Okino Yoko quickly shook her head: "No, it wasn't. And I should have turned off the air conditioner when I went out!"

"This is a bit strange." Inspector Megure frowned.

At this time, Conan, who was holding a magnifying glass and looking at the scene, suddenly said: "There are more strange things! Although it's only a little bit, there are signs of moisture around the body."

After finishing speaking, Conan stood up and pointed to a chair nearby: "Also, in this messy room, only the chair next to the corpse is standing upright!"

"Could it be that the reason this room is so hot is because the prisoner doesn't want us to calculate the exact time of death?"

Seeing that Conan had entered the "Kudo Shinichi mode", Makino laughed and shook his head.

If I remember correctly, even in the later period, Conan often "exposed himself" unconsciously like this.

To be honest, Makino even suspected that Uncle Maori might really have known Conan's true identity a long time ago, just as others said.

It’s just that Uncle Maori is very wise and pretends to be stupid, and he doesn’t want to expose the truth.

At this moment, Okita Yoko's agent pretended to go forward to identify the victim, "accidentally" fell beside the victim, and quietly picked up the hair in the victim's hand.

Before Conan could go forward to check, Makino grabbed the wrist of his agent, Yamagishi Eiji: "Are you planning to steal the evidence from the scene right in front of us? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

After hearing what Makino said, everyone immediately turned around and looked over.

Inspector Megure walked up to the agent with a dark face and stared at him angrily: "Mr. Yamagishi! Whose hair is that in your hand?"

Seeing Inspector Megure's unfriendly expression, Yamagishi Ei lowered his head nervously and broke out in a cold sweat.

Maori Kogoro saw this and immediately stepped forward and said, "I know, you are the murderer! You want to pin the crime of murder on Miss Yoko, right?!"

"No, no! It really wasn't me!" The agent quickly looked at Makino standing aside and tried desperately to explain.

Makino knew that the purpose of his secretly picking up the hair was to avoid increasing Okino Yoko's suspicion, so he did not dwell on this point.

Soon after, several police officers from the forensic department also completed the on-site investigation and evidence collection.

They said that although the exact time of death is still uncertain, the cause of death was definitely the knife stuck in his back.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Inspector Megure nodded seriously without any hesitation.

Makino on the side didn't know where to start complaining.

Does it mean that as long as Conan appears, the ordinary police officers present will be weakened invisibly?

The clues you found in such a long time are not as many as those found by Conan in just ten seconds?!

The gap between the two sides is really a bit outrageous, isn't it?
At this time, Conan suddenly asked Ayumi and the other two in a very loud voice: "Excuse me, do you have a spare key at home?!"

Although he seemed to be asking Ayumi and the others, his eyes were not on them at all.

After hearing Conan's "hint", Okino Yoko immediately remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Yamagishi has a backup key to my house."

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro stepped forward and grabbed Yamagishi Sakae's collar, angrily saying: "I knew it! The criminal is indeed you!"

"I did have a spare key, but I lost it a few days ago! I left it in the TV station's lounge and it disappeared."

Before Maori Kogoro could continue to question, Okino Yoko said, "I know this too. He didn't lie."

Upon hearing that Yoko Okino would vouch for him, Kogoro Mori had to temporarily put aside his doubts about his agent.

The next second, Makino walked up to Okino Yoko with a white handkerchief holding an earring: "Ms. Okino Yoko, I found this under the sofa. Do you remember this earring?"

"Ah, these are Ms. Yuko's earrings! She is Ms. Ikezawa Yuko who debuted at the same time as me."

Makino turned to the police officer and ordered, "Go and fetch Miss Ikezawa Yuko. She is suspected of theft and illegal entry into a private residence."

"Yes!" Several police officers saluted Makino and turned around to carry out Makino's orders without saying a word. Seeing this scene, Conan's desire to win was aroused.

As expected of Inspector Makino, both his observation and action abilities are so strong.

In that case, let’s compete to see who can solve the case first!
……

Not long after, Ms. Yuko Ikezawa was brought over.

Faced with the two pieces of evidence, the hair in the criminal's hand and the earrings under the sofa, she could only admit that she was the one who stole the key a few days ago.

The reason why she wanted to enter Yoko Okino's house was to find out some scandal about her.

She was dissatisfied that Yoko Okino was more popular than her during the same period, so she wanted to ruin Yoko Okino's idol career in this way.

Today, as soon as she entered the door, she was attacked by the man behind her. After a panicked resistance, she ran away.

After listening to Ikezawa Yuko's statement, Conan seemed to have grasped something important and immediately lowered his head to think.

At this time, the police officer who went to investigate the identity of the victim also came back.

The victim was named Akiyoshi Fujie, 23 years old, a graduate of Konan High School, and currently working normally in a company.

Hearing "Konan High School", Maori Kogoro frowned and said: "Speaking of this high school, I remember Miss Yoko also attended..."

Hearing this, Yoko Okino finally couldn't help but speak and said that she actually knew the victim.

Not only did they know each other, the victim was also her ex-boyfriend in high school.

Her agent didn't let her speak out about this in order to protect her public image.

Just as Yoko Okino began to explain her relationship with the victim, Conan quietly slipped to the place where the water stains were found before and lay on the ground to observe carefully.

Not long after, Conan discovered a small round hole on the floor near the chair.

After seeing this small pit, Conan suddenly had an idea and understood the "murder method" of this case.

After coming up with the answer, Conan secretly glanced at Makino and chuckled.

Inspector Makino, I win!

Thinking of this, Conan secretly set the bow to sound like Uncle Maori's voice and began to look for a way to make Uncle Maori unconscious.

Just then, Conan saw the ashtray on the ground and came up with a bold idea.

correct!

This ashtray will definitely knock the uncle out!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Conan immediately raised his leg, simply calculated the path, and kicked directly.

"boom!"

With Conan's kick, the ashtray instantly flew into the air and hit Yuanta who happened to pass by.

The ashtray bounced off the wall.

Just when Conan thought he had failed, the ashtray that hit the wall suddenly bounced back in a strange curve and hit the back of Kogoro Mouri's head.

A bump suddenly appeared on Uncle Maori's head and he fainted.

Miraculously, the unconscious Uncle Maori just retreated to the sofa and sat on it steadily.

After watching the whole thing, Makino was surprised and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Conan, you kid...

Isn't this your future father-in-law?

You are the real little werewolf.
