Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 86 The Perfect Secret Chamber Murder Case
"Hi, Mori Kogoro is invited to visit—"

When he opened the door, he saw Mori Kogoro standing outside the door with a bright face.

Behind him, Xiaolan and Conan followed.

The reason why the other party appeared here was not because he was invited by Qinghai Chuantang.

Because she herself, in fact, came to visit this Mr. "Hisaki Kikumoto" for some purpose.

Kikumoto Hisaken is the best-selling author of suspense mystery novels.

The writing style is rigorous and meticulous, and you can feel what kind of person this is from the lines.

After a brief self-introduction, they have a general understanding of each other.

"Unexpectedly, you are the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro', I have admired you for a long time."

"Where is it. I didn't expect Miss Tang to help solve so many cases when she looks so young. She really has the style I used to have!"

The two of them were bragging about each other's business, which made the people on the side feel a little ashamed.

Conan looked around and said strangely: "Why hasn't Mr. Kikumoto come down after so long?"

"Conan!"

Xiaolan reprimanded in a low voice, and then showed an apologetic expression to everyone: "I'm sorry, children tend to be impatient."

Also present were Kuken Kikumoto's first-year son "Motoshin", daughter "Yuki" who was a second-year elementary school daughter, and the maid Tanoizumi.

The two quiet children unconsciously lowered their heads when they heard each other's words.

Realizing that she accidentally said something wrong, Xiao Lan quickly apologized for her behavior just now.

And said that what they wanted to express was not what they thought.

"Speaking of which, I also feel a little strange that the master has not come for so long. Because the master has always been a person with a good sense of time."

"Even every morning for dinner, we have to arrive at exactly 7 o'clock, never one minute later or one minute earlier."

It sounds more like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder of time concept.

"If that's the case, why don't you go up and call him?"

Facing Conan's question, Yuan Jin, who was silent for a long time, explained: "Father, he hates being disturbed when he is reading."

"When I went there before, I was reprimanded for it."

But, no matter what, there are guests coming to visit this time.

No matter how dissatisfied you are, you must suppress your emotions, so as not to end in an unhappy ending.

The law of communication between people has always been like this.

"Mr. Kikumoto?"

Tian Liquanmei knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

After repeated several times, Tian Liquanmei tentatively asked: "Mr. Kikumoto, are we coming in?"

I pressed the doorknob to open it, but found that the door couldn't be pushed open, and it didn't move at all.

Obviously, it has been locked from the inside.

But why no one answered?

"I, I'm going to get the ax right now!"

Tian Liquanmei was a little panicked, for fear that something unfortunate would happen.

When a small opening as thick as an arm was smashed open, Tian Liquanmei reached in and opened the door latch.

The moment the door was opened, Mori Kogoro jumped out and stopped everyone.

"Don't move! Call the police immediately!"

The most taboo thing when encountering a case is to destroy and pollute the scene.

This will bring a lot of trouble to the investigation work, and sometimes it is easy to lead people to a dead end.

Not far from the door, there was a pool of blood.

In addition, there were bloodstains in front of the bookshelf and in front of the bay window sill, a total of three places.

Kikumoto Jiujian was lying on the recliner, his eyes were closed, and he seemed lifeless.

He had a stab wound near his heart.

The room and the door were locked, and no suspicious person was seen.

Therefore, this became one of the legendary impossible crimes - murder in a secret room.

"I see."

After listening to everyone's narration, Mu Mu Shisan nodded, but there was no clue.

He looked at Mori Kogoro, then put his hands on the other's shoulders, and said solemnly: "This method, as a detective, Moori brother, you will definitely be able to solve it quickly and perfectly."

"Of course. With me, Mori Kogoro, there is no case that cannot be solved."

After finishing speaking, Mori Kogoro burst out laughing, looking a little smug.

Indeed, this trick is the deadliest for profilers.

Because I never know why some seemingly infeasible modus operandi can succeed in the end.

For example, the case that deeply impressed her: the roller coaster murder case.

"Ah!"

Conan acted cute again, pointing to the blood on the ground and asked strangely: "Mr. Kikumoto died on the recliner. But why, there are three bloodstains in this room?"

Mori Kogoro walked over and rewarded him with a blow.

"Kids don't run around the scene of the crime!"

Xiaolan caressed his wound painstakingly, blowing air-conditioning lightly, trying to cool down his pain.

Looking at this scene, Qinghai Chuantang also somewhat understands why Conan is unwilling to confess his identity to Xiaolan.

But the most important thing is that you will lose the benefits after confessing.
"The Twilight Police Department."

Takagi walked in, holding a transparent bag in his hand.

It contained a bloody dagger, which had been found in the yard.

"It seems that this is the murder weapon."

Mu Mu Shisan said with certainty, then turned his gaze to Tian Liquanmei, and asked: "Miss Quanmei, have you found any suspicious people in the past few days?"

It is impossible for a little boy in the first grade of junior high school or a little girl in the second grade to commit a crime.

And if Tian Liquanmei committed the crime, the police would be the first to suspect her, which is too risky.

So the answer is obvious.

An outsider must have come to kill Kikumoto Kento because of some entanglement or some reason.

As the saying goes: peers are enemies.

So the murderer is likely to be someone in the same industry.

The above is Mu Mu Shisan's inner speculation.

"Suspicious person?"

Tian Li Quanmei thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Speaking of which, when I was watering the flowers yesterday, I saw a tall woman walking out of the house."

"But her hair is too long, and she wears a hat, so I can't see her face clearly."

Mori Kogoro seemed to have discovered some new world.

"So, the murderer must be that strange woman!"

Mu Mu Shisan said with shame on his face: "But, Brother Mao Li. If the murderer is her, she should have discovered it yesterday."

"You must know that Mr. Kikumoto's son went to him this morning, but he was reprimanded."

Although there were some mistakes, it was nothing to Mori Kogoro.

So there was no embarrassment on his face, but a serious expression on his face.

He said solemnly: "Megure Police Department, of course I know. What I did was just to demonstrate to my fans how to eliminate wrong answers."

It's like multiple choice questions in mathematics.

Although it is a headache, you must first remove the obvious mistakes, and then eliminate them one by one to find the final correct answer.

"Fans, fans?"

Both Mumu Shisan and Takagi showed surprised expressions, "You mean, Miss Tang is your fan?"

"Yes."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, and admitted with a smile: "My admiration for Mr. Mao Li is like a sea of ​​sponges."

Hearing this, Mori Kogoro was very satisfied, but he couldn't help but blame himself.

I didn't expect that although I was no longer a teenager, I was still full of charm.

Let others be overwhelmed by your own charm, but also trapped in your own talent.

Sure enough, sometimes a man is too good, which is also a sin.

Seeing Mori Kogoro laughing triumphantly, the corners of Conan's mouth couldn't help twitching: I didn't see any sign of admiration from her face at all.

Takagi hesitated to speak, and didn't know whether to remind her that she must have less contact with Mr. Mori.

Otherwise, you will be haunted by death.
"The Twilight Police Department."

"What's the matter, Brother Maori?"

Mu Mu Shisan was a little puzzled, "Could it be, have you already solved the secret room murder method? But, every time you solve a case, shouldn't you fall asleep first?"

This made Mu Mu Shisan feel deep doubts about the other party's reasoning.

Just like when we worked together, he was always good at leading the case into a maze.

But when "Sleeping Kogoro" appears, he always has a clear logical thinking, and every time he can make the murderer willingly plead guilty and obey the law.

"No, Megure Police Department."

Mori Kogoro walked to the bay window, and then looked up.

"Although such a secret room seems perfect, the technique is actually very simple."

Although the windows were locked, there was a gap in the skylight.

Mu Mu Shisan instantly understood what he meant.

"Brother Maori, do you want to say that the murderer escaped through the skylight? However, the gap is so small that even a child cannot pass through it."

"of course not."

Mori Kogoro turned around and looked at the crowd, showing a confident smile: "The murderer, no, the mastermind, she didn't appear here."

"Although she also killed people, she killed people indirectly. That's right, the murderer is actually—a monkey!"

Takagi was dumbfounded and deeply puzzled.

"Monkey, monkey?"

"That's right!"

Mori Kogoro explained: "Ordinary monkeys may not be able to do all this." But trained monkeys can understand people's meaning. "

"Let a well-trained monkey complete the killing instead of me, and with an alibi, no matter what, I won't doubt myself."

"After killing Mr. Kikumoto, the monkey escaped through the skylight, and then threw the dagger in the yard as if provocative."

"The purpose was obvious, to tell us, 'Even with the murder weapon in front of you, you can't catch me'."

"With insufficient evidence, the police will naturally be unable to arrest him."

"Thus, the real mastermind realized the impossible crime—the perfect crime!"

Conan thought a little speechlessly: Isn't this the technique in the short story "Silent Perfection" by Pavley Yate?

"That's amazing, as expected of Mr. Mori!"

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and applauded: "Actually, I think it might be possible for parrots to kill people. In the mystery novelist Uchida Goro's "The Sound of the Organ on the 13th", such a technique was used."

Mori Kogoro nodded approvingly, and hit it off with him.

"As expected of Ms. Tang, the idea really coincides with each other! In fact, I think that if you wrap tape around the dagger and let the goat eat it in the end, it is also a very perfect criminal method!"

Xiaolan watched the conversation between the two, feeling very puzzled.

"Strange, why did the two seem to get along so well when they met?"

The two of them are actually bragging about each other in business.

It's just that Conan didn't say it.

　As for the goat, I remember that it was written in a mystery novel, but I forgot which one it was in
