Conan light and dark

Chapter 45 This is not Kogoro at all
A new monk, in the bathroom, Mori Kogoro is briefing the Megure Police Department.

In fact, the main thing was that they were chatting with Shinde Tomoaki in the living room, the maid Hikaru Homoto was cooking, grandma was in the bedroom on the second floor, Shinde Yoko was on the phone at the landline outside the living room door, and Shinide was on the phone. Izuyoshiki was taking a bath.

It was at this time that suddenly, as if there was a power outage, the lights in the whole house were dimmed.

So Homoto took the flashlight and went to the main gate. Mori Kogoro, Conan, Ran, and Shinide Tomoaki were all in the living room.

Among them, Xinchu Zhiming was held in arms by Xiaolan, so the suspicion of committing the crime was ruled out.

Shinde Yoko has been on the phone, and the other party on the phone can prove it.

Shinde Tomoaki's grandmother was on the second floor, and Hikaru Homoto went to open the main gate. If these two wanted to go to the bathroom, they would pass by Shinde Yoko who was on the phone, so the suspicion could be ruled out.

"That is to say, it was an accident?"

After listening to the story, Police Officer Meguro said, maybe this time it really wasn't a murder case.

But looking at Mori Kogoro, he couldn't help sighing.

This guy is really dead wherever he goes!

"So, what about the new doctor's body?"

"Well, he is lying with his head facing the wall. It should be a tragedy caused by an unexpected incident when he was shaving with the mirror on the wall."

Mori Kogoro said so.

However, the Mumu Police Department was a little confused.

"Then why do you shave in the shower?"

"It's my husband's habit."

Shinde Yoko on the side answered.

"He does that every time a guest comes, and the defogging mirrors on the wall are added for that."

"That's it."

The Mumu Police Department looked at the mirror and nodded in understanding.

But Takagi Shepherd, the inspection minister, stood in the bathtub that had been drained of water, and stood in front of the mirror with an electric shaver.

"Megure Police Department, look, if you want to use this mirror to shave, the junction of the shaver and the extension cord is just above the bathtub."

"Well, it's really dangerous."

Officer Mu Mu touched his chin.

"If you put it that way, it really can only be an accident."

After all, when the power went out, everyone was in the living room. If the two people who were not there wanted to come to the bathroom, they had to pass by Shinde Yoko who was on the phone, and it was impossible not to be noticed.

So it was an accident anyway.

Conan, however, disagrees with this at all.

So get ready to do something.

However, the four seasons spoke at this time.

"Uncle, do you also think it was an accident?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is natural to think so."

Mori Kogoro replied.

Four Seasons did not refute this.

Under normal circumstances, I didn't say that I would definitely think so.

As for Mori Kogoro, it is true that he did not come to such a simple conclusion.

"However, there are still unreasonable places, Megure Police Department."

"Ok?"

The Megumi Police Department expressed doubts about this.

Conan also looked at Kogoro Mori with some surprise, could it be that Kogoro Mori also found out.

Mori Kogoro didn't seem to notice Conan's eyes, and spoke directly.

"Think about it, Police Department, with Takagi-kun's current posture, if an accident happened and he fell down, where would his head be facing?"

"If you fall down in this posture..."

The police department looked at Takagi Tsutomu.

And Takagi She seemed to be acting like someone who had an accident, his body leaned back slightly.

Seeing this, the Mumu Police Department immediately let out a bewildered "Oh".

Mori Kogoro continued.

"That's right, if he was electrocuted and fell down like this, his head should be facing the door, but for the new doctor's body, his head is on the wall."

"Huh? Why?"

The Mumu Police Department rubbed its chin, looking thoughtful.

Conan still looked at Kogoro Mori with a very surprised expression, and Kogoro Mori found out as expected.

But Mori Kogoro continued.

"This is just the first doubt, and there is a second."

"Ok?"

"The second doubt is the electric razor."

Siji took the babble and said, still biting the chicken leg in his hand.

He bought many of them.

As for what he said, the Mumu Police Department still didn't understand.

"What's wrong with the electric shaver?"

"Police, what happens to the electric razor if it happened while shaving?"

"How will it be?"

"..."

In this regard, Four Seasons suddenly didn't know what to say.

By the way, how did Megure Police Department get promoted to the rank of police department?And still have real power.

But Takagi Tsutomu thought of it.

"Switch, police station, switch."

"Huh? Oh! I see!"

The Mumu Police Department, who was reminded, also reacted.

If the accident happened while shaving, then the switch of the electric shaver should be on.

But now, the switch of the electric shaver is off.

Is it possible that the person who gets an electric shock can turn off the switch?
Although it is not impossible, because the movement of the hand at the moment of the electric shock may directly cause the switch to be turned off, but the probability is so small that it can be ignored.

"and……"

Mori Kogoro took the electric shaver wrapped in a handkerchief, and turned on the switch directly, and the electric shaver started working immediately.

"It's rechargeable and you don't need an extension cord unless you run out of power, but obviously this electric shaver has plenty of power and doesn't need an extension cord at all."

"Ok?"

The Mumu Police Department rubbed its chin and continued to think.

After a while, he opened his mouth to speak.

"All in all, let's confirm everyone's alibi at the time of the incident."

"Ah."

Mori Kogoro nodded in support.

But at the same time, he looked at the four seasons.

Four Seasons blinked his eyes, then nodded his head to express his understanding, then turned around and left.

Conan still looked at Kogoro Mori with the same eyes as when he met Kogoro Mori for the first time, saying that Kogoro Mori today is fundamentally different from the Kogoro Mori in his impression.

But no matter what, the investigation will continue, and it will be directed towards the homicide.

These have little to do with the seasons.

Four Seasons is mainly to see if there is anything that can prove everyone's alibi.

There is no problem with the new Zhiming, the problem is only the other three people.

Xinde Yoko, Masumoto Hikaru, and Xinde Zhiming's grandmother.

"That Miss Baoben is always covering her left hand. Although that old lady is old, her walking speed is a little slow..."

Four Seasons thought so.

According to what I heard before, it seems that grandma was on the second floor and came down after the power outage.

Baobenguang ran over to turn on the main switch.

Walked in the corridor, past the living room, and then came to the stairs.

Continuing on this side, it is the location of the main gate switch, and going up, it is the second floor.

"Going here, you have to run through the corridor or pass through the courtyard, but the body of Miss Baoben... The clothes are very clean, and the old lady ran over in such a dark situation. possible."

Having come to this conclusion, Siji walked upstairs again.

Go up the stairs and look around as you go.

Soon, a fragment of a porcelain cup was found on the ground.

He squatted down and looked carefully, and sure enough, he found a little dark red blood on it.

"This should be the reason why the old lady walked so slowly."

Thinking about it this way, I didn't care too much.

Get up and keep looking around.

Soon I entered a room and found a broken cup in the closet where the quilt was placed.

"So this alibi is enough!"

Siji said so, and left directly to go downstairs.

Takagi She was found at the stairs, so he snapped his fingers directly to attract his attention, and then hooked his fingers to signal him to come over.

Takagi first pointed at himself in doubt, and then walked in front of the four seasons.

Siji whispered a lot in his ear, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Work hard, Takagi-kun, I like you very much!"

After speaking, he left directly.

Takagi, on the other hand, went to collect evidence.

Four Seasons came to the living room, walked up to Mori Kogoro, and whispered something to him.

Conan looked at Shiji and Mori Kogoro suspiciously, expressing that he really didn't understand.

Today's Mori Kogoro is a bit different from the past!

"Excuse me, Mrs. Yoko, can you come with me?"

Mori Kogoro extended an invitation to Shinde Yoko.

Although Shinchu Yoko was a little puzzled, he still nodded.

So Mori Kogoro, the new Yoko, and the four seasons, left the living room directly.

Conan also secretly followed.

A group of people came to the bathroom.

Mori Kogoro stood there leaning against the wall, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Four Seasons continued to eat the unfinished chicken legs.

Conan watched from the sidelines.

Xinchu Yangzi looked puzzled.

"Mr. Mori, what's the matter?"

"Mrs. Yangzi, I advise you to surrender yourself."

Mori Kogoro said so.

But Xinchu Yangzi still doesn't understand.

"Surrender yourself? I don't understand..."

"First, use a timer or other device to cause a power outage. In the dark, switch the phone from the main unit to the sub-unit, use the wireless sub-unit to make a call, and at the same time run to the bathroom, pretending to remind the new The doctor paid attention to safety, and secretly put the electric razor into the water, then left here and ran back, and switched the phone to the host again."

Having said that, Mori Kogoro slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Then he continued.

"Then, when the electric switch was turned off, the current passed through, causing the new doctor's electric shock, and at the same time the anti-leakage device was activated, which is why it was on for the first time and then went out quickly."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Mr. Mori..."

"Actually, I asked Siji to investigate. On the second floor, Siji found a fragment of a porcelain cup with some blood on it, and then found a broken cup in the room."

Mori Kogoro said so.

"And just now, the four seasons were not there, but we all discovered that there was a burn on Miss Baoben's arm. She was fine before the power outage, so I can be sure that it was caused after the power outage. This is why she broke the cup. It proves that after breaking the cup, because of fear of being scolded, she ran to hide in her room with the fragments, and the old woman had a puncture wound on the sole of her foot, which was definitely caused by the fragments that fell in the corridor on the second floor , As for Shinide Chiaki, my daughter kept grabbing her arm during the power outage, so the alibi of the three of them can be confirmed, and the only doubtful one is you, Mrs. Yoko."

"But that doesn't mean anything."

Although the alibi is uncertain, it is not direct evidence that she committed the crime.

Shinchu Yoko thinks so.

But Mori Kogoro shook his head.

"Ms. Yangzi, as long as you want to find evidence, there will definitely be evidence, but I don't think it is necessary. It is better for you to surrender yourself. For yourself and Miss Baoben, you set up the mechanism for killing people, but turn on the switch. Yes, it's Miss Baoben. If she knows that the new doctor died because of her... Although I don't have much contact with her, I can feel that the reckless Miss Baoben is a pure and kind person. If you insist on looking for any evidence, if you insist on investigating to the end, it will only hurt one more person."
