I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"Do you think I wouldn't know whether a heinous murder has occurred in this manor?"

He still remembers his initial thoughts when he came to the Senyuan family manor.

Of course, he wasn't just trying to freeload off someone, although that was a crucial part of it. But the most important thing was for him to prove that he wasn't the Grim Reaper who caused so many heinous murders!

Kogoro Mouri already had a plan in mind.

If he brings Ran and Kazuha to this banquet alone this time, without Chen En and Conan by his side, and if no serious murders occur around them, then it means that Conan or Chen En is the cause of the frequent serious murders.

He is the only one in the Mori family manor now, while Conan and Chen En are not present.

If you were to tell me that a heinous murder has occurred inside the Mori family manor, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?

Although Kogoro Mouri said that, neither Ran Mouri nor Kazuha Toyama believed it at all.

They could only believe half of what Kogoro Mouri said.

However, they completely believe Conan or Heiji Hattori when they say things.

Since Conan and Heiji Hattori both sent text messages saying that a serious murder may have occurred inside the Morizono family manor, there must be a reason why they said that.

In that case, let's go find Butler Shigematsu first.

Let Butler Shigematsu check on the interior of the Mori-en Manor.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama have just made up their minds.

Then the two of them realized at the same time that something was wrong. They looked at each other and said with some doubt.

"Has Butler Shigematsu not appeared since the dinner party ended?"

"I remember that Butler Shigematsu was supposed to be in charge of routinely inspecting the manor, right?"

Upon hearing this, even Kogoro Mouri, who had been vehemently denying that a heinous murder had occurred within the Morizono family manor, couldn't help but grimace, as he had also heard about the matter.

This was said by Mr. Mikio Morizono, the patriarch of the Morizono family, at the dinner party.

Before Morizono Mikio married his lover, Shigematsu, the butler, was already a good friend of both of them.

Not only did the Morizono family entrust most of their businesses to the butler Shigematsu, but that old butler was also responsible for the security measures inside the manor and the management of various miscellaneous items. He could be said to be one of the backbones of the Morizono family.

No one can just suddenly disappear, butler Shigematsu could never just suddenly disappear.

This is probably a real problem.

Just as the thought flashed through Kogoro Mouri's mind, the sound of shattering glass rang out.

All three of them simultaneously looked up at the broken glass.

Although it was pitch black inside and we couldn't see anything, the feeling of unease grew stronger in our hearts.

Considering the situation involving Conan and Heiji Hattori, Kogoro Mouri gritted his teeth and said.

"Xiao Lan, He Ye, you two wait here, I'll go upstairs and check the situation!"

What a heinous murder case!

I refuse to believe that I, Kogoro Mouri, am truly the Grim Reaper who makes heinous murders so frequent!

I refuse to believe this nonsense!

About five minutes later, Kogoro Mori looked at the corpse of the butler, Shigematsu.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I'm starting to believe in superstitions."

Chapter 951 Just cry a little, who knows if he can even hear you?

A room on the third floor of the core villa of Senyuan Manor.

This is the room from which the sound of breaking glass came from, and there is a lot of blood near the door.

As soon as Kogoro Mouri arrived outside the room, he tried to push the door open, but he couldn't budge it. Enraged, he kicked the door open.

The moment the door was kicked open, the large amount of blood on the floor already indicated the seriousness of the situation.

The moment he turned on the light, the butler's corpse came into view.

The butler, Shigematsu, who is considered one of the core members of the Morizono family, had a knife wound on his chest, and blood was flowing out in large quantities, staining Shigematsu's white shirt and coat red.

Upon seeing the corpse of Butler Shigematsu, Kogoro Mori's expression turned grim.

The heinous murder ultimately occurred when he was alone.

Could it be that I, Kogoro Mouri, am really the Grim Reaper who causes so many heinous murders?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this. Since the heinous murder has already occurred and there is no way to undo it, the only thing we can do is to solve the case and find the murderer.

Kogoro Mouri was about to call over the other members of the Morizono family and call the police on his phone.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Yuanshan and Ye following behind.

The moment Kogoro saw Kazuha Toyama, he immediately realized something was wrong. He was about to reach out to stop Kazuha from entering the room when he saw her peeking over.

Then he could only watch helplessly as Toyama and Kazuha screamed in shock.

"what!!!"

All the lights in every room of the core villa of Senyuanjia turned on at once.

Kogoro Mouri immediately realized that this might have alerted the enemy.

If the murderer was someone who committed burglary or theft and then killed in a fit of rage, Kazuha Toyama's scream would have been enough to signal the murderer to flee and make him realize that the body had been discovered.

Thus, they fled from the outskirts of the Mori family manor at breakneck speed.

He rubbed his forehead and sighed.

There's no way around it; screaming at the sight of a corpse is an inherent trait unique to high school girls in this world, and it can't be changed.

We should not be too critical of other people's nature.

Kogoro Mouri didn't say much. Instead, he went into the room first, squatted down to examine the body, frowned slightly, and stroked his chin, trying to find any clues on the body that could be used to solve the case.

However, his detective skills were truly worrisome; even after looking again and again, he couldn't find anything amiss.

It just looks professional.

Kazuha Toyama, who had just screamed, realized her mistake and instinctively covered her mouth. Then, she was drawn to Kogoro Mouri's professional detective performance.

She instinctively went to Kogoro Mouri's side, squatted down, and mustered up her courage to examine the body.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the room.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on inside?"

Kazuha Toyama and Kogoro Mouri's attention was instantly drawn to the sound coming from the doorway, and they both turned to look at it at the same time.

All the people who had previously attended the banquet had been resurrected at the entrance of the crime scene.

The Morizono family consists of the patriarch, Mikio Morizono; the young master, Kikuto Morizono; the eldest daughter, Yurie Morizono; Kikuto Morizono's fiancée, Kaede Katagiri; and the Morizono family's servant, Yuji Sakuraba.

The one who just spoke was Morizono Yurie.

Her hair looked wet, and she seemed quite unhappy. Her gaze passed through the gap between Kogoro Mouri and Kazuha Toyama and landed on Akio Shigematsu's corpse. She froze instantly.

"Hey, what happened?"

Morizono Yurie never expected that she would encounter such an explosive thing so soon after returning from abroad.

Butler Shigematsu watched her and Kikuto grow up, so how come they were fine all these years, but she suddenly died as soon as she came back? Could it be that she was just unlucky and that's why this happened?

Yuji Sakuraba, who was standing next to Yurie Morizono, suddenly turned red in the eyes.

He could not hide the sorrow on his face. He came to the body and looked at the dead butler Shigematsu. Tears welled up in his eyes and almost fell.

Looking at Yuuji Sakuraba's sorrowful appearance.

Katagiri Kaede, who was hiding behind Morizono Kikuto, also felt a sense of sadness.

However, at that moment, Kikuto Morizono came to the side of the corpse. He looked down at the body of the butler Shigematsu, then sighed, shrugged, and casually said to Yuji Sakuraba.

"Okay, that's enough. Just cry a little, who knows if he can even hear you?"

"He's not your father, why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Yuuji Sakuraba looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He instinctively clenched his fist.

I could only feel my pride level rising rapidly.

However, Kikuto Morizono acted as if he hadn't seen anything, walked to the window, glanced at the scenery outside, and casually remarked.

"Sigh, I'm also very saddened by the death of Butler Shigematsu."

"However, what's done is done, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. My wedding with Xiaotong will still proceed as planned tomorrow. I believe that Butler Shigematsu, in heaven, would be very pleased to see our wedding going so smoothly."

"Hmm, to bring some good luck, let's make tomorrow's wedding even grander..."

Upon hearing Kikuto Morizono's words, Yuji Sakuraba's sense of pride instantly soared.

He suddenly stood up, roared, and pounced on Kikuto Morizono.

"Kikuto Morizono, you bastard, take this punch!"

He immediately delivered a deliberate, heavy punch to Kikuto Morizono's face, sending him flying and crashing into the windowsill, even shattering a piece of glass.

It looked like the two were about to start fighting in the room.

As the head of the family, Mikio Morizono could no longer stand it. He stepped between the two, stopped the fight, and then slapped Kikuto Morizono across the face, angrily rebuking him.

"Kikuto, what are you doing? There's a limit to how much you can mess around!"

“You know perfectly well that Sakuraba lost both his parents at a young age and was raised by Butler Shigematsu, who was like a father to him. How could you say such a thing in front of him?”

"Don't say anything more about this. Let's just postpone the wedding. We're holding Butler Shigematsu's funeral tomorrow!"

After cursing Kikuto Morizono, he turned to look at Yuji Sakuraba, sighed, and then said.

"Sakuraba, I know you're having difficulties."
