The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 379 As expected of you, little brother! [Two chapters totaling 2k additional updates]

Looking back, he asked Fujino again: "When you came, the door should be locked and the safety padlock on the door was also hung, right?"

Fujino: "..."

That's right...

However, why do I always feel that this sentence sounds familiar?

Another suicide, right? !
You are all here to fish!

Fujino was silent for a moment and pinched his eyebrows.

In fact, think about it.

In this case, directly closing the case with suicide is the most trouble-free result.

Continuing the investigation will not only be a thankless task, but may also lead to some public condemnation...

That's the way it is said.

But he had a mission, and he couldn't let this case turn into suicide.

He sighed and said in a deep voice: "I don't think it's suicide."

"Ugh?"

Mito Koichi was surprised and asked: "What do you mean..."

"I think this is a secret room murder case."

Fujino looked back at the padlock: "Both the padlock and the door frame, there are traces of being hit by hard objects. I think this may be when the murderer created the secret room, because a screwdriver was used to turn the safety lock through the crack of the door. It was left behind when I held my hands and couldn't see the screws clearly."

"Indeed it is……"

Mito Hikari stepped forward to take a look, his chin tightened, "If you say so, you can indeed create a secret room using this method."

Fujino: "..."

you just found out...

Brother, did you take a good look at the crime scene?

Fujino complained silently in his heart.

Turning back, he looked at the small coffee table under the position where Bizen Chizuru had just hanged himself.

People in the forensics department believe that Chizuru Mito climbed up from here and hanged himself.

But since it can be confirmed that this was homicide, then on this table...

Thinking of this, Fujino asked the Forensic Division policeman wearing blue overalls at the side: "Officer, are there Miss Chizuru's toe prints on this coffee table?"

"Consultant Fujino."

The policeman stood up and thought for a moment: "We didn't find the deceased's toe fingerprints on this coffee table. Maybe the victim committed suicide while wearing slippers?"

"But Ms. Chizuru didn't wear slippers."

Fujino was speechless for a moment and looked at Bizen Chizuru: "I have noticed since entering the crime scene that she is always barefoot."

"There are traces on the door lock, and there are no toe prints on it. If you say so, then Miss Qianhe did not commit suicide at all, but committed homicide!"

Mito Koichi looked a little excited, but he was not worried about not catching the murderer.

In the police circle, it can be said that people like Megure and his gang are envied by the fact that they meet the detective's brother every day.

After all, solving a murder case can be regarded as a merit. If a popular celebrity murder case is solved, even if you can't be promoted, you will get some bonus at the end of the year.

After a moment of stern expression, he turned to Fujino with some relief. He was so emotional that he couldn't help but utter the classic title: "As expected of you, little brother Fujino, you can even discover such details!"

Fujino: "..."

Is this still a detail?

You should be able to find it if you pay a little attention, right?

Why does it feel like anyone can be a detective?
Becoming a brother again...

It's hard not to make people think that you are like Brother Memu and have gotten carried away by spending too much time in Internet cafes.

…………

The restaurant of the hotel.

Zimen Ren picked up Youmori from the top of the mountain when the police came.

This case was classified as a homicide.

Everyone in the hotel was called into the restaurant for questioning.

"I would like to ask everyone present about the death of Ms. Chizuru."

Mito Koichi stood in the middle of the living room and looked around at everyone: "Mr. Shiromoto, it seems that your relationship with Miss Chizuru is not very good. There was some dispute last night over topics such as divorce. Is that correct? Bar?"

"That's right, because the divorce alimony she's asking for is so huge."

Chengyuan lowered his head, "Our company's capital flow is not smooth now. If we pay her alimony, we may go bankrupt due to the huge debt pressure caused by the break in the capital chain of the project we are developing."

"Besides, the one who has conflicts with Miss Chizuru seems to be Mr. Miyabe of the company she belongs to."

As he spoke, Mito Kōichi looked at Miyabe Kota: "I heard that you want to remove Chizuru-san from the TV series you are filming, but she herself does not agree..."

"I can't make the final decision on this matter..."

Miyabe Kota kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief and looked very nervous: "Replacing her is the sponsor's request. If she is not replaced, the sponsor will refuse to provide funds. Now our entire crew is facing a suspension of filming. risks of."

"Both of you have financial conflicts with Miss Chizuru...I see."

Mito Hikari thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, and murmured: "In other words, both of you are suspected of killing Miss Chizuru."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Cheng Yuan couldn't sit still at this time, stood up and looked at Mito, asking: "Didn't Chizuru commit suicide?" "That is to say..."

Kota Miyabe also looked panicked and said, "Even if we have a conflict with her, we can't kill her."

"Based on consultant Fujino's reasoning, we believe that Ms. Chizuru did not commit suicide. The murderer must be someone who is very familiar with this hotel..."

Mito Hikaru looked back and gave Fujino an appreciative look.

Fujino: "..."

Can you not take the credit for this kind of thing?

I'm afraid you're not saying that if the murderer has any grudges or grievances, he wants to seek revenge from me, right?

Looking back, Mito Koichi continued to face everyone: "The murderer is most likely in this hotel. If possible, please ask the people in the restaurant to tell the time when Miss Chizuru died, that is, between one o'clock and two o'clock. Where."

"Mr. Chengyuan and I left the hotel around ten in the morning. We didn't leave the lake before we came back at seven in the afternoon, but..."

Miyabe Kota lowered his head and glanced at Shiromoto, frowning: "But in the middle of the trip, Mr. Shiromoto left for a while."

"I left because I forgot to bring my lunch box."

Hidehiko Jomoto explained: "After I came back at 12:30, I ate in the lobby. After finishing my meal at about 01:30, I returned to the lake to fish. The two sisters can prove this to me."

Hearing this, Mito turned his attention to the Shigara sisters: "Is what he said true?"

"Yes, we have been cleaning the room in the morning. At noon, Mr. Shiromoto came back and we brought him a lunch."

The Shimoli sisters were sitting on the sofa. They were obviously frightened by the second murder case. They held each other's hands and nodded in unison: "After seeing Mr. Cheng Yuan off, we watched him in the hall. I know how to tell TV, and then I go to prepare ingredients for everyone’s barbecue in the evening.”

"Have you two been to Miss Chizuru's room?"

After thinking for a moment, Mito asked the two sisters.

"No, Manager Mori told us not to disturb Ms. Chizuru before."

Honami said something first, and then Minaho continued: "So the two of us didn't bother Miss Chizuru."

"Yeah, ah, that's it."

After watching the two sisters for a moment, Mito Koichi nodded dully.

I was also frightened by the synchronization between the two sisters, which seemed to be telepathic.

Looking back, he glanced at Shiromoto Hidehiko suspiciously: "Have you ever been to Miss Chizuru's room?"

"I went to her room at that time, but I was limited to knocking on the door."

After listening to the other party's explanation, he thought for a moment, then looked back at Yumori and Zimen Ninja who were sitting aside: "What were you two doing during that time?"

"After we set off from the hotel, we went to the top of a nearby hillside and didn't come back until seven o'clock in the evening. We were together all the time. It's just that the engine of Guangxing's car broke down, and I just went to pick him up."

Zimen Ninja said something, and Arimori immediately echoed: "In this case, Detective Fujino and the others can prove it for us."

Upon hearing this, Mito Koichi looked at Fujino and asked in a low voice: "Detective Fujino, are what they said true?"

"Well, that's about it."

Fujino nodded, glanced at Yumori, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "At that time, they did play with us on the top of the mountain all day, and then came back a little late at night because the engine broke down."

"If this is the case, the only suspects should be the two Shimogasa sisters and Jomoto."

Mito frowned when he heard this, feeling a little unsure.

So, he turned to look at his brother beside him and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Fujino, what do you think?"

"I don't think the Shimogasa sisters are suspicious. The two of them just came here not long ago and have no dispute with Miss Qianhe."

Fujino thought for a while and ignored his brother's call: "Joyuan, if he wants to kill someone, logically he shouldn't use such a stupid method. He can do it at home. It would be too tempting to do it here. People pay attention.”

"Well, in that case, the murderer may be someone else."

Nodding, Mito agreed with Fujino's statement.

Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something, raised his head, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Arimori, I just saw the door at the end in the corridor of the hotel. That should be the emergency escape door, right?"

"Yes, we have emergency escape doors on every floor of our hotel."

Yousen paused and continued: "It's just that those are automatic locks and can be easily opened from the inside, but if you open them from the outside, you need the master key of our hotel, but I have the master key in my hand today. , no one else has passed through it.”

"If this is the case, it must have been done by someone inside the hotel!"

Miyabe Kota suddenly stood up at this time and said with great momentum: "The two sisters must have copied the master key, and they must be the murderers!"

"No! We didn't do anything!"

Suddenly becoming a murderer, the Xia Li sisters suddenly felt a panic.

"This guy……"

Fujino glanced back at Miyabe Kota.

This guy always looks like he has a weak kidney.

Why does it work like this now...

Bullying a little girl, right?
"It's still unclear who the murderer is!"

But before Fujino could speak, Mito on the side took the lead and said: "Even those who don't have a hotel can easily enter the hotel."

"For example, when Mr. Shiromoto comes back upstairs to ask Miss Chizuru, he can open the emergency escape door from the inside, block the door with stones or something, and then return to the scene to kill people under the pretext of going out."

As he said that, he looked at Miyabe and said in a deep voice: "If you and Mr. Shiromoto team up, as long as you hide in the trunk and come back, and he opens the door first, you can enter the hotel and kill Miss Qianhe. Then drove away."

"This guy's reasoning ability is pretty good..."

Fujino glanced at Mito and felt a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this guy's reasoning was quite reasonable.
