Chapter 10 Xiaolan, call the police! (Please collect! Recommend! Invest!)

In the early morning of the next day, Mao Lilan, who had once had a relationship with Takasugi, walked side by side with Kudo Shin on the way to school.

"I didn't expect my father to complete the commission so quickly this time. It would be great if it was like this in the future."

Mao Lilan took leaping steps and shared her joy.

In the words, there is a bit of emotion that my old father has finally made a difference.

"Ha——" Kudo Shinichi yawned boredly, and said in a perfunctory tone: "Uncle Mori usually takes commissions in this area, and he is quite experienced."

"what--"

At this moment, a terrified scream suddenly came from nearby.

Hearing the scream, Kudo Shinichi, who was still a little listless, became energetic in an instant, and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

His intuition told him that there must be a case nearby!

"Eh? Wait for me, Shinichi!"

Before Mao Lilan figured out what happened, she saw that Kudo Shinichi had run away, so she had to follow.

She was used to Kudo Shinichi like this.

Soon, the two came to a nearby apartment.

I saw a middle-aged woman who was a bit fat, sitting at the door of one of the apartments, looking inside with horror, her whole body was trembling.

"This is?!!"

Kudo Shinichi looked inside the door, and saw a man tied to a chair facing the door. There was a pool of dried blood on the ground, and the man had already lost his life.

"Xiao Lan, hurry up and call the police!"

Kudo Shinichi, who realized that this was a murder, immediately turned his head and shouted to Mao Lilan who was behind.

Afterwards, he avoided the pool of blood on the ground and stepped into the room.

Mao Lilan, who had just arrived, quickly took out her mobile phone and called the police.

She, who often hangs around with Kudo Shinichi at the scene of the crime, is far more accepting of such things than ordinary people.

Not long after, with the sound of sirens, people from the Metropolitan Police Department rushed to the scene.

The leader was a middle-aged police officer with a kind face and a slightly fat body. He was wearing a tan trench coat and a hat of the same color on his head.

"So it's you, Brother Kudo."

The police officer was not surprised when he saw Kudo Shinichi who was surveying the scene in the room, and he greeted him naturally.

"You're here, Officer Megure." Kudo Shinichi replied, and continued to focus on the crime scene in front of him.

Police officer Megure doesn't care about this, he has long been used to Kudo Shinichi's style.

His eyes scanned the crime scene in front of him, and then he set his eyes on the middle-aged woman who had been lifted up by Mao Lilan.

"Ma'am, were you the first person to discover the dead? I don't know what your relationship is with the dead?"

"I found out. My name is Oda Reiko. I am the owner of this apartment. Mr. Nagai is my tenant."

Officer Mu Mu continued to ask: "Then how did you find the deceased?"

"It's like this. Mr. Nagai made an appointment with me to come over this morning to collect this month's rent. When I came, I saw that the door of his room was ajar, so I looked inside curiously."

Oda Reiko said nervously.

If she had known that such a thing would happen, she would rather not have the rent, and would never come here today.

At this time, the accompanying staff also completed the preliminary inspection of the scene, and came to report to Police Officer Mumu:

"Officer Megure, the investigation of the scene has been completed. The name of the deceased is Nagai Tatsuya. He is 26 years old this year. The fatal wound on the body was on the chest. The time of death was probably after eight o'clock last night. The specific situation needs to be brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department for further investigation." autopsy."

"That's it, let's first check whether there are any clues left at the scene." Officer Mu Mu said helplessly.

The law and order in Tokyo is worrying, which has led to a limited number of forensic doctors working, so there is no free manpower to follow the team.

And with the abilities of his subordinates, it is already good to be able to judge these.

"Cause of death was asphyxiation."

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded.

"Oh?" Officer Megure's eyes lit up, he looked at him and asked, "Brother Kudo, did you find anything?"

"Some discoveries." Kudo Shinichi put on his gloves, gently opened Nagai Tatsuya's eyelids, and said, "Look, Police Officer Megure, there are blood spots on his eyelids, which means he died of suffocation."

"But the wound is at the heart, how could it be due to suffocation?"

Before Officer Mu Mu could ask any questions, Mao Lilan was already confused.

She pointed to the dagger on Nagai Tatsuya's right chest, her eyes full of puzzlement.

"If you understand the structure of the human body, you know that the knife didn't hurt the heart, but pierced the lungs."

Kudo Shinichi pointed to the location where Nagai Tatsuya was stabbed, and said in a firm tone:
"So the real cause of death with this knife is suffocation!"

As a person who has intensively studied in a special education institution in Hawaii, human body structure is naturally a necessary subject.

"If you say that, is it fatal in one blow?" Police Officer Mu Mu asked with an ugly expression.

Kudo Shin nodded: "Yes, the murderer must be a person who understands the physiological structure of the human body."

"Accurately hit the lungs, causing the blood to flow backwards and flood the alveoli, so that the deceased would not be able to yell anyway."

Speaking of this, Kudo Shinichi's expression became serious, he looked at Police Officer Megure and said:
"If I hadn't guessed, the murderer was probably a professional killer."

Police officer Mu Mu frowned and did not speak, but Mao Lilan said in surprise: "A professional killer?"

This title, for a student like her, is really a familiar and unfamiliar vocabulary.

"Yes, if it is an ordinary person, it should choose the heart that people are more familiar with, rather than the more partial lung attack."

"This method is only used by professional killers in most cases, in order to prevent the victim from calling for help."

Kudo Shinichi talked eloquently and expressed his own analysis.

"In this case, things will be troublesome." After hearing Kudo Shinichi's words, Police Officer Megure said in a solemn tone.

If things were really as Kudo Shinichi said, and the perpetrator was a professional killer, then the investigation of this case would be much more difficult.

Kudo Shinichi looked around again and put forward his own suggestion:

"It should be difficult to find anything at the scene. We may be able to start with the deceased's interpersonal relationship."

He didn't feel embarrassed, but had a sense of excitement to face the challenge.

Just then, a police officer came out of the bedroom with a photo album in his hand.

"Officer Megure, look at this."

It was the password album that Takasugi left on purpose.

"This!"

Police officer Mu Mu took the photo album, and the moment he opened it, his expression turned cold.

shocking!

This was the only thought in his mind after flipping through the photo album.
