Conan's other me

Chapter 172 The Uninterested Person
The term "scheming and calculating" is obviously not referring to Heiji of the Ministry of Persuasion, but Uncle Mori.

When a group of people followed him to the scene of the crime, the Mumu Police Department had already led people to wait here.Uncle Mao Li obviously served the water on purpose, as a good excuse to propose a reasoning confrontation, so that everyone could help him think about the case.

"Oh, brother Maori, I'm waiting for you," said the Megure Police Department who answered the door, "I'm sorry, I asked you to come here just once..."

"Where..." Uncle Maori only showed his true colors after a moment of modesty, "If you don't dislike it, please leave it to me who just exposed the bribery incident of the scumbag... Please just say it!"

"Hehe... Anyway, come in first..."

"Excuse me..." Hattori Heiji, who was closely behind Uncle Mori, said and walked in first.

Conan was with him.

"Hey! No, let irrelevant people enter the scene..."

"That's Big Brother Hattori Heiji," Kaedehara helped explain to the Megure police department, "Did you meet Uncle Megure in the previous diplomat murder incident and Moriya Teiji incident..."

"The diplomat was killed?"

The Mumu Police Department thought for a while, but with so many cases happening every day in Mihua, he really didn't remember such a thing...

"It's the high school detective who made a mistake in his reasoning and then corrected it..." Maplehara struggled for a while and decided to say what impressed the most about the Megure Police Department.

"Oh!" Police Department Megure suddenly realized, remembering that he had met Hattori Heiji several times after that, "So it's brother Hattori!"

Hattori Heiji, who walked into the room with his hands in his pockets, staggered and almost fell to the ground, then looked back at Fengyuan speechlessly.Feng Yuan blinked innocently.

This guy Kudo must be taking revenge...

Speaking of it, it seems that every time I use the word "you woman", I end up like this...

As he was thinking about it, Uncle Mao Li also helped him out.

It had been several days since the crime happened, and the scene had already been inspected by useless forensic personnel, so the Mumu Police Department didn't bother with such trivial matters anymore.

Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai also walked in behind Uncle Maori, with Xiao Lan and Kazu Ye walking at the end.

Go through the porch and come to the innermost room like the living room, which is the scene of the crime.There is a table in the middle, which is full of various design tools such as drawing boards and triangles.

The Megure Police Department began to introduce the basic situation of the case, "The person who was killed was the president of this toy company, Kento Tsujitani, 53 years old...

This is the president's own home and production office.

The presumed time of death is around 6pm on Sunday, June 29.It was discovered on the second day, around 5:10 am on Monday... There were four people who discovered it, all of whom were employees of this company. "

As he said that, he glanced downstairs out of the window, "These four people have always come to the snack bar in front of this building before working hours, waiting for the president to greet them while having breakfast...

Because it was past the 09:30 working time and the president hadn’t come to call them yet, the four of them entered here with spare keys..."

"So, it was discovered that the president, who was tied up with a rope, was beaten to death with a golf club...and fell in the shadow of this table..."

Hattori Heiji took the words of the Megure Police Department.He was squatting with Kaedehara and Conan beside the fixed line where the corpse was removed, his tone was deep, and he seemed to be very serious about the reasoning duel.

I don't know if I really want to watch a baseball game or just focus on reasoning duel... Fengbara thought.Speaking of which, in the diplomat incident last time, no one told Hattori Heiji's reasoning that there is no winner, which is kind of cool, and I can be regarded as helping him in the American island mermaid incident...

No wonder this guy always calls to harass me and wants to compare reasoning with me...

Feng Yuan understood.

Others were a little surprised by what Hattori Heiji said just now.

"How do you know, Heiji?" Kazuha asked curiously.

"On the back where the corpse fell, there was ink spilled, right? Probably it was knocked over when the prisoner had a dispute with the president, and the president was tied up without being lifted up...so the ink-stained rope Traces are all over the floor, this is the evidence that the president was tied up and struggling..."

"Then why are you using golf clubs?" He Ye then asked.

"Because only the head was stained with blood, there were several slender marks of about ten centimeters on the side of the head. These were caused by the metal part of the bat head that was deflected several times when hitting the victim's head. trace…"

"Then why do you have to tie them up and beat them later?" Xiaolan also asked curiously.Another teammate of theirs, Haibara Ai, was curiously looking at some toys in the room.

"You must be asking for the password of the safe or something, right?" Conan turned to look at the safe on the shelf on the other side of the table. "Look, isn't the door of the safe over there open..."

"So, that's how it is..." Uncle Mao Li who was standing by the safe suddenly realized, "That is to say, the criminal is a foreign criminal whose goal is money..."

"I don't know if they came from outside, but the prisoner tied up the president and forced him to find out the password of the safe, and killed the president who saw his face with a golf club. This should be true!"

Hattori Heiji looked at the Megure Police Department, "Really, the Police Department?"

"Ah, that..."

Seeing Hattori Heiji's progress so quickly, Heye and Xiaolan were a little worried that they would lose the game.They also didn't count on Haibara Ai who seemed not very interested in reasoning and confrontation, so they looked worriedly at Uncle Mao Li who seemed to be still asleep.

"Hey, Dad, are you okay?"

"They had the upper hand right from the start!"

"Yes, is it?"

Uncle Maoli rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Unfortunately, there should be no sleeping Kogoro here today.Fengbara thought about it, and then listened to the conversation between Hattori Heiji and Megure Police Department.

Because Uncle Maori said before that there were many doubts about the case, and now what they discovered were things that even the police could know, so there must be something that the Megure Police Department did not say.

Under Hattori Heiji's questioning, Megure Police Department took out a set of photos from his arms, "Well...these four blocks fell around the president."

"As for building blocks, there are also next to the corpse..."

On the edge of the trace line, against the wall, there is a small pile of building blocks, with katakana engraved on all six sides, and there are dozens of them.

"But only these four have the president's fingerprints and ink on them..." Police Department Megure placed the four photos on the table in order, "If we line up the faces stained with ink..."

The front of the four building blocks in the photo is also engraved with characters, which are "o, mo, chi, ya" in Roman sounds.And according to the way the Mumu Police Department just arranged, it is a toy (o mo cha).

"Toy?" Uncle Maori said, "No, is it a cake shop (o mo chi ya)?"

"Should it be a rice cake shop?" He Ye squatted beside the pile of building blocks to express his opinion, and Xiaolan agreed.

Haibara Ai huddled beside Fengyuan to look at the photos together.

"Hey, police department, can you tell me where the four blocks fell in this photo?" Hattori Heiji said.

"Hmm... This is a photo of when the body was found..."

The Megure Police Department took out another photo, and Hattori Heiji thoughtfully took the photo and put it on the table so that the three elementary school students could see it clearly.

This photo shows a bound man lying on the ground with his head in a mess.

"Then, the one lying there with blood on his forehead is..."

"Yeah, the president of the toy company Tsujitani who was killed..." Megure Police Department said, "The position of the four blocks is in the pile of blocks on the lower left of the president... Then why only these four blocks have The president's fingerprints and ink..."

"The ink that was stained was the bottle that was tipped over on the president's back when he collapsed, right?" Uncle Maori also noticed the overturned ink bottle on the table, "The question is who stained the ink on the building blocks..."

"Yeah. The president's fingerprints are on the building block, but it's also possible that the prisoner deliberately let the dead president stain it..."

"Is it true that only these four building blocks have the president's fingerprints on them?" Conan asked.

"Ah, no, the president's fingerprints were also on the other blocks that fell on the ground... But only these four blocks had the most stains. They were everywhere, not just on the six sides, but even on the recessed places where the words were engraved. …”

"That is to say, these four building blocks..."

Hattori Heiji said, "It's the death message left by the president before he was killed..."

Feng Yuan was a little depressed, he hated this thing the most.

If it were him himself, if he had the skills to leave a death message, he would definitely find a way to escape first, but these guys always leave death messages as if they had resigned themselves to their fate. It is still a mystery that the police can't understand...

And this is still very "Japanese" puzzle solving...

Thinking that Hattori Heiji and Conan were there anyway, Kaedehara decided to skip this puzzle-solving death message and look for other clues.
