Conan Rick's Investigator
Page 1179
"During this time, I used the excuse of going out to buy groceries, but in reality, I brought the coal stove into my room, sealed the door with tape, and hid behind it."
"Wait half an hour, I'll activate the alarm in the room, have the 'child' come from the living room and bang on the door. When the time is right, I'll step out from behind..."
After the housekeeper's description, the three smart people immediately understood the real murderer's entire plan.
The real murderer wanted to make the room look like a murder scene where Kudo Shinichi committed suicide by burning charcoal.
That means that Shinichi Kudo actually died of carbon monoxide poisoning?
"Where is that coal stove you mentioned?"
"It was originally in the room, but I took it to the storage room..."
With that said, the housekeeper turned around and opened the storage room opposite the bedroom door, and took out a coal stove, tape and a photo of her son.
Qin Zhibo gestured for her to put them on the ground, then continued, "Did you place these things in Mr. Kudo's bedroom after you entered the room this morning?"
"Yes..." The housekeeper nodded tremblingly.
Conan and Hattori Heiji walked to the door of the room and glanced at the evidence on the ground.
The tape is unopened and has been somewhat used.
There are still burned briquettes in the coal-burning stove that is larger than a basketball. It has almost cooled down and can be taken out directly with your hands.
Looking at the briquettes, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other.
Although this plan disguised as suicide looks good, it actually has many loopholes.
First of all, a burning time of only half an hour is not enough for a coal-burning stove of this size to emit carbon monoxide that fills the entire room.
Secondly, the plan provided by the so-called "murderer" did not mention wearing gloves. It is estimated that he wanted to wait until the body was found and then ask the housekeeper to come in to help remove the tape and move the coal stove.
However, based on Hattori Heiji's character, once it is confirmed that the deceased is hopeless, he will immediately seal off the scene and not allow anyone to enter.
In the end, the murderer was unlucky. He met Qin Zhibo, who had terrifying powers of observation. He was seen dead or alive at a glance, and there was no chance for his trick to be used.
At this time, Qin Zhibo also retracted his finger from the door frame.
As the housekeeper said, there is a sticky feeling on the door frame, and the side light is still
You can see residual glue stains.
Although it cannot be ruled out that the housekeeper used a bitter trick, various signs indicate that Qin Zhibo feels that the real culprit should be someone else.
Qin Zhibo turned to look at the housekeeper again, "Did the person who called you say anything else?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and after recalling it for a few seconds, she answered tremblingly.
"He claims to be..."
"The demon dog's vengeful spirit..."
……
The police who received the call quickly responded.
They were at the murder scene again, and there were three familiar people again. Officer Megure had a helpless expression on his face.
He was too lazy to complain and went straight to the topic.
Under the introduction of Qin Zhibo and others, Mu Mu roughly understood the general process of the case.
"So, the person on the phone just left the name 'The Demon Dog's Ghost' and hung up?" Megure asked.
"Hmm..." The housekeeper nodded.
Takagi Wataru, who was standing next to Megure, held a notebook and asked, "Did the deceased, Mr. Kudo, have any grudges against anyone?"
"Is such that……"
Just as the housekeeper was about to answer, Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the side, interrupted her first.
"In fact, the victim was the adopted child of Inubushi Tsune-nii, the chairman of the Inubushi Group who passed away five years ago."
"But lately he's been terribly scared because it seems some bad guys have infiltrated the Inufushi family and are using the 'Demon Dog's Curse' to wipe out the Inufushi family."
"I think the criminal calls himself the 'Ghost of the Demon Dog' for this reason..."
The word "criminal" that Hattori Heiji said showed that he had already agreed with the housekeeper's previous statement in his heart.
"Demon, demon dog?"
After listening to Hattori Heiji's summary, Megure and Takagi Wataru raised their necks at the same time.
Megure complained, "It sounds a bit like a mystery..."
Takagi Wataru, who was standing by, immediately reminded him, "There seems to be a similar story in Sherlock Holmes..."
Sherlock Holmes?
This unfamiliar foreign name made Megure even more confused, and he could only guess a name close to "dog".
"Is it the Inugami family?"
Takagi: "..."
Not far away, a senior Fu fan wearing glasses also expressed his speechlessness.
When Mu Mu saw that he had guessed incorrectly, he could only cough twice and awkwardly change the subject.
"Ahem..."
"But then again, why is this room so strange? Why isn't there any furniture?"
This time it was the housekeeper's turn to explain again, repeating all the requests that Kudo Shinichi had made during his lifetime.
After hearing these requests, Megure showed a confused expression, "Even if the deceased had anticipated someone trying to kill him, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths, right?"
Takagi nodded in agreement. "It's understandable that visitors aren't allowed to bring anything into the room, but this specially designed room..."
Under the illumination of a light bulb on the ceiling, Mu Mu looked around the room.
Not only was there no furniture in the room, but the strangest thing was that all the corners, gaps, and edges of the walls were plastered into arcs.
Even the windows are completely sealed and airtight.
The whole room had an indescribable weird feeling.
It's more like a cage than a shelter.
It's just that Kudo Shinichi built a cage and locked himself in it.
At this moment, Mu Mu saw Qin Zhibo standing alone in the corner. As if he saw the answer to the problem, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Brother Qin, what do you think of this case?"
Qin Zhibo, who was staring at the corner of the wall, turned his head and analyzed, "Based on the current situation, it is very likely that the murderer is someone related to the Inufushi family."
"If you want to know the identity of the real murderer, you must go to the Inufushi family.
Only then…"
"The Inufushi family?" Megure was stunned and asked, "Where is the Inufushi family in Tokyo?"
Hattori Heiji, standing on the other side, explained, "The Inufushi family isn't in Tokyo, but in Gunma Prefecture, in a place called 'Inufushi Castle.'"
"Gunma Prefecture..."
Megure sighed deeply. If he wanted to handle the case across jurisdictions, he would have to apply for cooperation with the Gunma Prefecture Police.
However, he heard that there is a police department in Gunma County that is very skilled in handling murder cases. The police officers from other places who have cooperated with it said that it is a headache.
I hope it's not that person...
Hattori Heiji also saw Megure's dilemma, so he offered to let their detectives investigate first, so as not to alert the police.
When Mu Mu heard this, he thought this proposal was a good one.
Qin Zhibo on the other side gave Mu Mu the simplest suggestion and then turned his attention to the corner of the room.
So far, he has only seen one investigation point, which is the corner of this room.
【Survey√】
[All the corners in the room are plastered into arcs. What is the purpose of this? 】
The content investigated at the investigation point often means that it is related to the task.
But what can this prevent?
Qin Zhibo stretched out his right hand and slid two fingers on the smooth plaster line.
However, other than a smooth feel, there is no other feedback.
Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking alone, the voice of a policeman behind him reached his ears.
"Eh?"
"What is this?"
Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that the photo-taking and evidence collection process had ended, and three police officers were carrying the body outside.
One of the police officers held a white ball the size of a fingernail with his white gloves.
At this time, other people also noticed the movement here, and Mu Mu quickly came over and asked what was going on.
The forensic police officer replied, "It fell out of the deceased's hand when we were moving the body just now."
Mumu took the bead from the forensic policeman's hand. The surface was a little hard and the white was still slightly yellow.
"What is this?"
Memu and his men asked the same question.
But Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point from above at a glance.
He walked up to Megure and could still investigate without taking the beads into his hands.
【Survey√】
[A bead with a hard texture, the surface seems to exude a fragrance]
Eh?
Qin Zhibo quickly suggested, "Officer Megure, smell it and see if there's any fragrance..."
"Oh?"
Mu Mu also trusted Qin Zhibo and directly brought the beads to his nose.
At this sniff, I really smelled it.
"Yue..."
"How can this smell good? It stinks!"
Mumu made a gesture of vomiting, holding back the nausea and quickly moved the beads away from his nose.
Hattori Heiji next to him saw this, grabbed the beads from Megure's hand with a handkerchief, and also smelled it.
"It smells like burning plastic... it's terrible."
"What the hell is this?"
Conan stood next to Hattori Heiji's legs, and before he could tell, the latter passed the beads to him again.
smell it.
Eh?
"Isn't this a fragrance?" Conan looked up in surprise.
"Huh?" x2
Megure and Hattori Heiji looked at Conan in confusion, and the latter even questioned.
"Conan, you must be smelling something wrong, right? How can this be fragrant? This clearly stinks..."
Conan held the bead in front of his nose and smelled it, but it still had the same smell as before.
"This is fragrant, it smells like medicine
The fragrance of the ingredients is refreshing...”
"Eh?"
Hattori Heiji took back the medicinal materials from Conan's hand, but no matter how he smelled it, it smelled like burnt plastic.
