Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 450: Choose one from three classics! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Kurokawa House.

"At the time of the incident, Mr. Kurokawa was drinking and typing on a word processor."

"But he was hit hard on the head from behind by someone and died."

In the brightly lit room, squatting on the ground, looking at the dead body of Kurokawa Daizo, the director of Kurokawa Hospital, with blood still flowing from his forehead, Officer Megure said in a low voice, "From the scene, the murder weapon should be the bronze statue that fell next to the deceased."

"But what I don't understand at the moment is this..." At this point, Inspector Megure stood up from the ground, frowned, and looked at the three letters on the computer screen beside him, "This seems to be a clue left by the victim to solve the case, but what does this JUN mean?"

JuN Is this the murderer's name? Or is it the abbreviation of some word? Or is it someone's code name?
If they could decipher the meaning of these letters, maybe they could solve the case!

"Hehehe!" After carefully examining the contents on the computer, Maori Kogoro, who was standing next to him, put his hands in his pockets, sneered, and said confidently, "I know, this must be the victim identifying the murderer!"

Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief, "What did you say?!"

To be honest, he had actually thought about this speculation.

But because there was no evidence to prove this, he didn't dare to say it and didn't say it in public.

However, looking at the confident look on Kogoro Mori's face, could it be that his brother has some evidence or has already figured out something?
"and……"

Without paying attention to his thoughts, Maori Kogoro turned his head coldly and looked at the three people, one man and two women, and continued, "The murderer is one of them!"

"That is, Mrs. Kurokawa Sanae, her eldest son, Mr. Kurokawa Daisuke, and the maid, Miss Nakazawa Manami. One of the three of them must be the murderer!"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mori looked determined.

"Huh?" Conan looked at Maori Kogoro in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face, and a hint of relief, "Uncle is sober this time!"

He is no longer confused and talking nonsense like before?

Could it be that, under the influence of this famous high school student detective, a confused detective finally made some progress? He was no longer the useless detective who could only talk nonsense?
This is really cause for celebration. Really cause for celebration!

"Great! Brother Maori!" Unaware of Conan's thoughts, Inspector Megure was still immersed in the surprise brought by the speed of his brother Maori's reasoning this time, "So, who is the murderer?"

Although Kogoro Mouri pointed out the suspect of this murder, just determining the scope of the suspects is not what he wants!
After all, there are three murder suspects, and it would take a lot of time just to check them one by one.

"The real murderer who killed Mr. Kurokawa Daizo..."

Taking a deep breath, Maori Kogoro stretched out his finger and pointed at one of the three people, "It's you!"

"Eh?"

Everyone was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised, because the person that Mori Kogoro was referring to was none other than Kurokawa Daizo's wife - Mrs. Kurokawa Sanna!
Inspector Megure was shocked. "Mrs. Kurokawa?"

Was it Mrs. Kurokawa who killed her husband? To be honest, among the three suspects, he actually suspected the maid the most.

After all, the remaining two people, one is Kurokawa Daizo's wife and the other is his son. Relatively speaking, their motives for killing Kurokawa Daizo are relatively small.

But Kogoro Mori's testimony brought him a big surprise.

"The three letters JUN that Mr. Kurokawa left behind before his death are the first three letters of the English word JUNE."

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, Maori Kogoro suppressed his excitement, picked up the calendar beside him, and explained, "But June is also called Mizuki because there is a lack of water!"

When he got to this point, Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and said confidently, "The so-called Mizunotsuki refers to the two words Sanna, and Mrs. Kurokawa..."

"Even if I was born in June, so what?"

However, before Maori Kogoro could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry Kurokawa Sannai, "Why did Mizunotsuki refer to Sannai?"

As he spoke, Kurokawa Sannai took a few steps forward and questioned Maori Kogoro aggressively, "Let me ask you, are you trying to use this nonsense to say that I am the murderer?"

What a joke! This lame reasoning is not convincing at all!
"No..." Under the pressure of Kurokawa Sannai's momentum, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but laugh dryly and waved his hands repeatedly, "This... these are just simple inferences I made based on logic..."

"Well, brother Maori, would a person who is about to die do such a roundabout thing as you said?" Officer Megure pondered for a moment and questioned, "If it were me, I would just write down the murderer's name directly!"

He admitted that his Maori brother's reasoning was good, but, does a person who is about to die have time to think about these things?
I'm about to die, so I'll just do it as simply as possible, right?

After all, what if other people didn’t realize that Mizunotsuki was Sanae?
Maori Kogoro couldn't hold it in any longer, "How come even the police officer says that..."

What's wrong with this guy, Inspector Megure? Can't we trust him a little more?

Mrs. Kurokawa just raised the question, and you're joining in the fight? Stabbing her in the back?
It turns out that the person who excitedly asked him what he thought was someone else, not some fat police officer?!
"Oh, so uncle's reasoning skills are limited to this extent." Seeing this farce, Conan helplessly showed his crescent eyes and sighed repeatedly.

He just thought that his elder had finally improved and was no longer the confused detective who could only talk nonsense and arbitrarily accuse criminals. But now it seems that he was too happy too early.

Uncle is always that uncle!
It turned out that he was too naive to expect the other party to become reliable!

After a sigh, Conan made a decision in his heart.

"There's really nothing I can do! Looks like you still have to rely on me!"

It was obviously impossible to rely on some confused detective to solve the case, so the next step would have to be for him, a high school detective, to take action himself.

As for why, we didn't ask Bai Ye, the private detective, for help like before?
Oh, he did want to, but unfortunately, his good colleague did not go with them today.

The other party hadn't come here yet. Even if he wanted to cooperate with the other party to solve the case, or borrow the other party's identity to do things, he didn't have the ability to do so, and it was even more inconvenient! "Is it the job of a detective to point out an innocent person as a criminal?"

"If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll sue you for defamation of my reputation!"

While Inspector Megure and others were still trying to comfort Mrs. Kurokawa, who was extremely angry because she was accused by Kogoro Mori of being the murderer of Daizo Kurokawa, Conan quietly slipped behind a cabinet and hid.

"Then, next, we will use the old method and use the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun to make uncle sleep temporarily!"

Looking at the people who were still arguing, Conan, who was hiding behind the cabinet, raised his left hand, aimed the sight at Kogoro Mouri's neck, and then found the right time and pressed the switch.

With a slight "whoosh" sound, the anesthetic needle flew out.

"Damn it... why... it's happening again..."

The next moment, Kogoro Mori, who was still trying to comfort Mrs. Kurokawa, slumped in a chair next to the cabinet while mumbling.

“Oh…what is this?”

Seeing his strange action, Inspector Megure was not surprised but delighted, "Great, we have finally waited for this moment!"

Although there is the existence of the private detective Bai Ye, Kogoro Mouri's reputation is much less than in the original work.

But it is impossible for Bai Ye to follow Conan and others in every case, so the 'Sleeping Kogoro Mori' came into being.

It is also because of this that after seeing Kogoro Mouri fall into a deep sleep again, Inspector Megure couldn't help but become excited.

Because, as a policeman who has worked with the 'Sleeping Kogoro Mouri' many times, he knows very well that his brother is not very reliable on weekdays, and what he deduces is almost all nonsense, and one cannot listen to him seriously at all. But once he enters a sleeping state, he is like a famous detective, and no case can be left unsolved!

Well, although the opponent in this state may not be able to match his brother Bai Ye’s reasoning ability, it is not inferior to his previous brother, the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi!

In other words, with the other party in this state, this case is a sure thing!
Next, the police only need to wait for the other party in this state to use his powers, then they can catch the real murderer and get the credit for free!
"That's right..."

Under the gaze of Inspector Megure and others, Maori Kogoro, who had his eyes closed, spoke again, "The reasoning that the murderer is Mrs. Kurokawa is actually just a joke."

Kurokawa Sannai was slightly stunned, "A joke?"

If what I just said was really just a joke, then this kind of joke is not funny at all!

In fact, to be honest, if that confused detective had not admitted his mistake just now, she really intended to sue him.

After all, being accused of being a murderer out of the blue was something that really annoyed her.

Without paying attention to her annoyance, Maori Kogoro began his new reasoning, "Officer Megure, please take a close look at the body of the deceased."

"Hmm?" Inspector Megure walked to the side of the dead Kurokawa Daizo in confusion and began to observe him.

As he was observing the body of Kurokawa Daizo, Maori Kogoro's voice rang out again, "On Mr. Kurokawa's hand, the only finger stained with blood is the little finger of his right hand..."

Inspector Megure nodded heavily, "Yes...that's right!"

Maori Kogoro asked, "So, which keys on the keyboard are stained with blood?"

"There are four keys in total..." Inspector Megure carefully examined the keyboard and came to a conclusion, "They are KE, MU, RO, and the English full-width conversion key on the left side of the keyboard!"

After a pause, Maori Kogoro said confidently, "The blood stains on the three letters KE, MU, and RO were from the blood stains on Mr. Kurokawa's little finger when he pressed the three keys J, U, and N with his right index finger."

"But, I think, no one would deliberately use the little finger of their right hand to press the keys on the left side of the keyboard, right?"

Using your little finger to press the button on the left is not only awkward, but also inflexible.

Unless someone likes to be different or has ulterior motives, few people would do this.

At this point, Maori Kogoro paused, "Then, what is the blood stain on the left key of the keyboard?"

"That's right." Officer Megure nodded again, "But how do you explain the bloodstains?"

Without waiting for Inspector Megure and the others to answer his question, Maori Kogoro answered the question on his own, "I'm afraid that when Mr. Kurokawa was hit on the back of the head by the murderer approaching from behind at the time of the crime, he immediately pressed the back of his head with his right hand, and the blood on his right little finger dripped from his head!"

"Later, when he turned around, he was attacked again by the murderer. When he fell, the keyboard was hooked by his little finger and fell off the table."

"That is to say, the key on the left side of the keyboard, which is the key to convert English to full-width, was not pressed consciously by Mr. Kurokawa at the time of the murder. Instead, he accidentally pressed it when he fell."

After taking a deep breath, Maori Kogoro, who was controlled by a certain elementary school student, came to the conclusion, "Therefore, after the murderer who killed him left, Mr. Kurokawa gradually became dazed, and he gathered up the last bit of strength in his body and forced himself to press the keyboard in front of him."

"However, what he pressed was not the initials of the murderer's name, nor was it a code. What he really wanted to press was hiragana,"

Inspector Megure looked at the sleeping Kogoro Mori, his face full of confusion and puzzlement, "Then...then, who exactly is the JUN that Mr. Kurokawa shot?"

While thinking, Inspector Megure compared the keys on the keyboard and interpreted the hiragana corresponding to JUN, "'Ma (true)', 'Na (that)', 'MI (beautiful)'!"

"That's right!"

Conan, who was controlling Maori Kogoro, nodded and confirmed his idea, "The murderer is Miss Nakazawa Manami, who worked as a maid!"
