Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 326: The professionalism of Kaito Kidd, the suspect is... Eri Kisaki! [Please subscribe~]

Is Usui Ritsuko dead?

Onino Takeshi was stunned, then he looked deeply at Saku Norifugi in the crowd, who also had a look of shock and grief on his face.

I sighed internally.

Unexpectedly, the other party chose to go his own way in the end.

Immediately, Gui Yewu put aside his regretful feelings.

Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. I have already tried to stop him. Since Saku Hoshi is still stubborn and wants to kill Usui Ritsuko, then this is his own choice and he must bear the consequences himself.

Shaking his head, Takeshi Ono shifted his gaze to Kogoro Mori again.

The good news is that this time, Kogoro Mori did not become a suspect because he did not stay in Ritsuko Usui's room.

Just looking at the uncle whose face was full of sadness and sighing, as if his lover had died, Gui Yewu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

At the same time, a trace of fear arose in my heart.

Wow, the halo of death really should not be underestimated, it is late but it arrives.

The main actor is Kaito Kid, and Conan and Mouri Kogoro are just guest appearances. Is this unavoidable?
Does KPI have to be achieved?
The only thing to be thankful for is that this incident did not affect the crew, and as Kogoro Mori has cleared the suspicion, it will not affect the filming work.

So Gui Yewu felt at ease and became a spectator.

At this time, the door of the room was surrounded by a crowd of people, including hotel staff, guests in nearby rooms, Kisaki Eri's lawyer colleagues, and so on.

"Call the police immediately! No one else is allowed to enter the room to prevent damage to the scene!"

After all, Kogoro Mori was not completely unreliable. He quickly remembered his identity, and loudly gave orders to maintain order and warned everyone.

Then he walked into the room with a serious expression, ready to investigate the scene.

Needless to say, Conan followed in.

After a while, Maori Kogoro came out after inspecting the scene and the body, and asked Saku Norifugi:

"Mr. Saku, you were the first one to enter the scene, right? Can you tell me about the specific situation at that time?"

"of course."

Sakuhoshi nodded in response.

"A few of my colleagues and I had agreed to go to Mount Asama together this morning. But after we finished breakfast, Ritsuko didn't show up, and no one answered her phone calls.

We felt strange and came to her room to look for her."

Saku Hoshi paused slightly and quietly emphasized his tone.

“No one answered the door when I knocked, and no one responded when I called her.

We felt something was wrong, and there was a security chain on the door of her room, so it couldn't be opened from the outside.

So, there is no way...

Because I was worried that something might happen to Ritsuko in the room, I had to force the door open in a hurry.

But unfortunately it’s too late…”

Saku Hoshi sighed regretfully.

"When I broke the door open, I found that Ritsuko had passed away."

Kogoro Maori was in deep thought for a while.

"Mr. Saku, are you saying that... the door is chained from the inside and has always been locked?"

Sakuho nodded, indicating that it was just as he said.

Conan behind him frowned. The door was locked with a security chain and no one could get in from the outside, but the person inside was dead.

Isn't this a typical locked room murder?

Or was it just an accident?
wrong!

The face of Usui Ritsuko's body was blue and swollen, and it was obvious that she died of mechanical asphyxiation. Judging from the environment, the murder weapon was most likely a pillow, and she obviously could not have suffocated herself.

So this must not be an accident, but a carefully planned murder case!
The murderer deliberately arranged the scene into a secret room in order to confuse everyone and make them think it was an accident.

The question is how did the other party turn this place into a secret room?
How did you leave with the anti-hotlink protection intact?
Just as Conan was thinking about the murderer's method, suddenly, a clear voice rang in everyone's ears.

"There is something wrong with this anti-theft link. Someone has tampered with it in advance."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man observing the anti-theft chain that was broken by Saku Norifugi, and then a confident expression appeared on his face.

It’s “Kudo Shinichi”!
Those in the crowd who knew him immediately had their eyes brightened.

"It's Kudo-kun!"

"I didn't expect Kudo Shinichi to be here too!"

"Great, with Kudo-kun here, this murder case will surely be solved."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but when they saw Kudo Shinichi appear, most of them had great confidence in him.

Although Kudo Shinichi has not appeared for a long time, his legend is still circulating in the world.

Seeing that the young detective was so popular, Kogoro Mouri, whose popularity was surpassed, immediately looked unhappy.

"This damned little detective!"

Maori Kogoro clenched his fists, walked up to "Kudo Shinichi" aggressively, and questioned: "You little brat, what makes you say there is a problem with this anti-theft chain?!"

Kudo Shinichi, no, it should be Kaito Kid, smiled with a hint of pride when he heard this, and said with a double meaning: "You can trust my expertise."

Under the pouting eyes of Maori Kogoro and the curious gazes of others, Kaito Kidd barely hesitated for half a second and saw through this clumsy secret room trick at a glance:

"This anti-theft chain was not broken by the collision, but was cut by someone using pliers before the collision."

He even named the tool the murderer used to cut the anti-theft chain.

Because several common cutting tools, such as pliers, scissors, bolt cutters, etc., have different shapes and different ways of exerting force, the traces they form are also completely different.

For example, a vise:
When the pliers blade just contacts the object and continuously applies pressure, once the stress at the contact part of the object exceeds the elastic limit, plastic yield will occur and plastic deformation will occur, reflecting the characteristics of the pliers blade.

When the blade moves inside the object, the blade edge is generally harder than the object, and linear marks will appear on the object.

These marks are not easy for ordinary people to distinguish, but for the "professional" Kaito Kidd, it is like reading lines on the palm of your hand.

Therefore, in his eyes, this so-called secret room was full of mistakes and was extremely crude. "After killing the person, the murderer used pliers to cut off the anti-theft chain. Then..."

Kaito Kid bent down gently and searched carefully, and soon found a short fishing line as thin as an ox hair on the carpet near the door.

"Then he walked out of the room and used the short fishing line to tie the broken security chain back on.

In this way, the anti-hotlink looks like it is still intact.

This room became the so-called 'secret room'.

When someone discovers the problem and breaks in through the door, it looks like the anti-theft chain has been broken, but in fact, it is only the small fishing line that has been broken. "

In just a few words, he exposed the murderer's secret room murder plan.

The murderer's self-righteous design is no different from showing off in front of Guan Gong in the eyes of Kaito Kid!

When it comes to stealing... ahem, cracking mechanisms, Kaito Kid is the real expert!
All we can say is that the murderer had bad luck and met a figure of "the ancestor" level.

After hearing what Kaito Kidd said, everyone was amazed:
"As expected of Kudo-kun, you are really amazing!"

"I actually saw through the murderer's method at a glance!"

"Kudou-kun is so handsome!"

Immediately afterwards, the expression he looked at Saku Nobushi suddenly became strange.

He was the first one to knock on the door. According to Kaito Kidd, that means...

"Mr. Saku!"

Kogoro Mori looked at Hoshinobu Saku with suspicion.

Although he was unhappy with "Kudo Shinichi", he did not question his judgment.

At that time, it was indeed Saku Norifugi who broke the anti-theft chain under the excuse of "being in a hurry to go in and check the situation".

And this anti-hotlink is a trick set by the murderer.

Just wait for someone to come and violently break down the door, "breaking" the anti-theft chain that had been cut long ago, and completely completing this secret room technique.

In this case, the person who was invisibly "cooperating" with the murderer in breaking down the door looked very suspicious.

To be frank...

There is a high possibility that he is the murderer.

"Hello..."

Facing everyone's doubts and vigilance, Sakuho suddenly panicked, and tried to maintain a calm expression on his face, and defended himself:

"Don't look at me like that.

"I just rammed the door in desperation. This alone doesn't prove that I'm the murderer, right?"

"."

There was silence.

However, the suspicion in everyone's eyes was not alleviated at all.

Saku Hoshi:...

He felt extremely unlucky.

When I was preparing to commit the crime last night, I ran into Gui Yewu. I wanted to give up but was unwilling to do so.

After finally committing the crime with a lucky mentality, who would have thought that a famous detective Shinichi Kudo would suddenly appear!

The secret room he had carefully designed was exposed by the other party at a glance, which immediately made him more suspicious.

If Gui Yewu came out again and told what happened last night...

For a moment, Saku Hoshi was sweating profusely.

However, after waiting for a while in a nervous mood, he did not receive any accusation from Onino Takeshi. Saku Hoshi was surprised, but also secretly relieved.

But he didn't know that Gui Yewu simply believed in the "protagonists" present.

With Conan, Kaito Kid, and... ahem, Kogoro Mori present, how could the murderer still get away?
So he was too lazy to bother with it.

However, something unexpected happened to him -

Suddenly, Conan, who had been squatting beside the corpse, stood up from the ground, holding a long hair in his hand, and said in a surprised tone: "Ah, what is this?"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn.

Kogoro Mouri walked over quickly and examined the hair carefully. After a moment, he suddenly shook all over, as if he had thought of something.

Conan glanced at him, lowered his head slightly, and a white light suddenly flashed on his lenses.

"Since it was a murder in a closed room, the murderer must be someone acquainted with Ms. Usui, and this is Karuizawa, not Tokyo where Ms. Usui's social circle is..."

Conan pushed his glasses up, put on a mature tone, and analyzed in a serious tone.

"So... the murderer is most likely among the lawyers who traveled with Ms. Usui!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Saku Nobufumi again.

Saku Hoshi:...

"but!"

However, Conan spoke again at this time, drawing everyone's attention back.

There was a hint of mystery and heaviness in his tone.

“Ms. Usui had short hair, and judging from the length of the hair found next to the deceased, it obviously did not belong to her.

None of the lawyers met the criteria either.”

There was a pause.

"The only person who meets the requirements and knows Ms. Usui is..."

Before he finished speaking, a tall figure stepped out from the crowd and said calmly:
"Needless to say, that hair is mine!"

Seeing this person, many people at the scene changed their expressions instantly.

Mao Lilan showed an expression of disbelief and blurted out: "Mom, Mom...how could it be you?!"

The one who stood up was none other than Hibari Eri!
