Ke Xuezhi, I became Uncle Conan

Chapter 42
Eshiro Shouichi squinted at Conan, Conan felt Eshiro Shouichi's gaze and shrugged.Really, look at what I am doing, can you still expect me to go out and show my face?
Jiang Chengshouyi forced a smile and said, "Look, I've already forgotten about this. If I have a chance, I'll definitely see Mr. Mao Li's reasoning in person."

Mori Kogoro immediately shrugged, this kid is not mocking me, is he?Which time is not as long as he is present, there is no room for me to play.He must have felt that I solved the case today, and he didn't go there because he was jealous of my publicity, so he said that on purpose.It must be so, what a loathsome fellow.

Conan looked at Jiang Chengshouyi with half-moon eyes. This guy didn't mean to say that on purpose, he knew that I solved the case, but he still said that.

When Jiang Chengshou saw that Conan and Mori Kogoro's expressions were not quite right, he guessed in his heart: No way, they don't think I'm mocking me, do they?I'm just curious about the scene of Conanza Mori Kogoro, maybe I was misunderstood.

Conan took a bite of noodles, quickly changed the subject, and asked Jiangcheng Shouyi, "Brother Shouyi, why didn't I see you today to follow the case?"

"I have something to ask for leave this morning, and I went to the Metropolitan Police Department at noon." Jiang Chengshou put down the tableware and wiped his mouth.

Conan and Mori Kogoro finished their meal quickly, and Eshiro Mori sent them back to Mori Detective Agency.

As soon as Jiang Chengshou came home, he talked on the phone with Sumi Tsukamoto for an hour, and then went to bed after washing up.

The next day, Eshiro Shouichi taught Takagi the details of handling the case for a day at the Metropolitan Police Department, how to analyze the case, how to find clues, etc.

Soon it was time to get off work again, just as Jiang Chengshou packed up his things and was about to leave work, he was stopped by Police Officer Megure, "Brother Jiang Cheng, Takagi, come with me, there is a murder case."

The moment Jiang Chengshou stopped his movements, this case was a coincidence.Tucao return to Tucao, Jiangcheng Shouichi still called Takagi, and followed Officer Megure.

Inside the police car, Jiang Chengshou asked Officer Mumu, "Mumu Police Department, where did the murder happen?"

Police officer Mumu pressed his hat, "One person died in the location shooting team of a TV station, and the specific situation is not clear yet."

Jiang Chengshou listened one by one. Could it be that Conanke died again? "Mumu Police Department, Xiaolan reported to the police again?"

Police officer Mumu looked at Jiangcheng Shouyi in surprise, "Brother Jiangcheng, how did you know? What a coincidence, it was Mao Li who encountered the case again. This family is really evil, why do they always encounter murder cases?"

Police officer Mumu complained speechlessly, and Jiang Chengshou looked like that, "Well, Police Department Mumu, you are right, I also feel that their family is like being possessed by the god of death. Wherever there are homicides."

Gao Mushe said awkwardly: "Well, police officer Jiangcheng, who are you talking about?"

Jiang Chengshou shook his hand, "Who else is there, Mr. Mori Kogoro Mori's family. By the way, Takagi, you must stay away from them when you see them, you know?"

Takagi asked with prickly eyes: "Why, police officer Jiangcheng, Mr. Mao Li is a famous detective. No matter what, he helped us solve many cases."

Jiang Chengshou patted Takagi She on the shoulder, "Officer Takagi, the matter is still too simple, this family is definitely being targeted by the god of death, if you get close to them, you will be infected sooner or later. Think about it Think about it, wherever you go in the future, there will be homicides? Isn’t it scary?”

Cold sweat broke out on Gao Mushe's face, he forced a smile and said, "No, no way, Police Officer Jiangcheng, what you said is too unscientific."

Jiang Chengshou crossed his arms and glanced at Gao Mushe, "No, this is very scientific."

Takagi was full of doubts in his heart, "Is this scientific?"

Jiang Chengshou looked out of the window, "Takagi, maybe you don't believe it now, but one day in the future, you will find out if I'm right or not."

Gao Mushe was flustered by Jiang Chengshouyi's words, is this family so scary?Speaking of those famous detectives, shouldn't we take the initiative to hug the thigh?

Then Takagi saw Eshiro Moriichi, and shook his head silently, no, we already have thighs, just in case, we should stay away from Mr. Mori's family.

Soon, a few Jiangcheng guards rushed to the scene of the crime.When they arrived at the scene, the surveillance officer hurried to conduct an on-site inspection, while Jiang Chengshouyi stared at Conan who was running around beside the corpse speechlessly.

Mori Kogoro narrated the identity of the deceased to Police Officer Megure, "The police department, the deceased's name is Anzai Morio, and he is the photography assistant of the location team."

After listening to Mori Kogoro's brief introduction, Police Officer Megure asked Okino Yoko and Mori Ran behind him, "Did you two see any suspicious characters before you found the body?"

Mao Lilan looked at Police Officer Mumu, and said with some fear, "Well, but because it's dark here, it's hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman."

Police officer Mu Mu put his chin in his hand and thought: "It was around 10:30, that is to say, the crime was committed between 10:30 and [-]:[-] when the victim left the hotel."

Mori Kogoro crossed his arms and said with a triumphant smile, "Police, this incident is unexpectedly simple."

Officer Megure looked at Kogoro Mori in shock, "What did you say?"

Eshiro Moriichi also looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise, is this the coming of the Mori Elimination Law?
Mori Kogoro stretched out his finger, and said confidently: "First of all, the knife used as the murder weapon is a prop used in filming. The second point, the stone lion, refers to the shrine. From these two points, the murderer That's it, Miss Mamegaki Taeko, it's you."

Mori Kogoro pointed at Mamegaki Taeko and shouted loudly.

Jiang Chengshou shook his head, walked to the corpse, looked around the corpse, blood was sprayed everywhere.Then he looked at Conan who was lying next to the corpse, "Conan, did you find anything?"

Conan stood up and walked to Jiang Chengshouyi, "Just one, the message left by the deceased, the stone lion."

Jiang Chengshou looked at the blood-stained stone lion behind him, and then at Taeko Mamegaki. "You also think Mamegaki Taeko is the murderer?"

Conan put his chin in his hand and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say, but what is certain is that the murderer is a member of the location team."

Jiang Chengshouyi looked at the location team members at the scene, thinking deeply.

At this time, Mori Kogoro was questioning Mamegaki Taeko, "I said Miss Taeko, you were out for nearly an hour during the banquet, right?"

Taeko Mamegaki said with a sullen face, "That's because I have to go home to get things, and my house is inside the shrine."

"Can anyone testify for you?" Officer Megure asked.

Mamegaki Taeko turned her head, "No, my grandpa went outside, so I'm alone."

Seeing this, Mao Lilan stepped forward, "But, Dad, when Ms. Taeko came back, she happened to meet Mr. Anxi who was about to leave the hotel, and the two of them passed by."

Mori Kogoro looked at Mao Lilan in surprise, "What did you say?" Then he pondered: "Since Ms. Taeko came back, she has been staying in the living room."

Mao Lilan and Police Officer Megure looked at Kogoro Moori with half-moon eyes, as if they were defeated by you. "So, isn't it completely impossible to commit a crime?"

Conan stood beside the corpse and said speechlessly, "Cheer up, okay?"

Police officer Mu Mu turned to look at the forensic officer, "Have any fingerprints been collected on the murder weapon?"

Holding the tool, the forensic officer raised his head and said, "No, but the murder weapon has traces of being wiped."

Conan touched Jiangcheng Shouichi, "Brother Shouyi, I feel so strange, if there is still time to wipe off the fingerprints, why don't you take the murder weapon and throw it away?"

Jiang Chengshou looked at the corpse and said thoughtfully, "Well, but I feel that to solve this case, the most important thing is to decipher the death message."

"But, what does the stone lion refer to in the message left by the deceased?" Conan looked at the death message next to the corpse and asked suspiciously.

Officer Meguro looked at the staff of the location team and asked, "Among you, did any of you leave this hotel between ten o'clock and 10:30?"

Mamegaki Taeko's fiancé, Shimazaki Yuji, who is also a member of the location team, came out, "Well, I went out to buy cigarettes at that time."

Officer Megure walked in front of Yuji Shimazaki, "About what time is it?"

Yuji Shimazaki thought for a while, "What about this?"

Before Yuji Shimazaki remembered it, Conan jumped down and said, "It was 45:[-]. At that time, I just checked my watch."

Officer Meguro watched Conan finish speaking, then asked Yuji Shimazaki, "Then when did you come back?"

Yuji Shimazaki replied calmly, "About three or ten minutes later."

"So it's [-]:[-]?" Officer Megure said, staring at Shimazaki Yuji.

Shimazaki Yuji lowered his head, "Yes."

Jiang Chengshou looked at Police Officer Mumu, then frowned, walked towards the corpse, and looked at the message left by the deceased.

"Well, why do you have to write it in words when you were killed in front of the stone lion? Wouldn't it be good to just point it out?"

"Hey, wait, the text left by the deceased is very strange. The writing of this word is wrong. The horizontal and vertical lines should be written consecutively. Why are they separated? There is also the horizontal and vertical strokes at the back, which are normal. It’s a single stroke, so why do you write it separately? Could it be?”

Jiang Chengshou stood up and thought about the problem, "Looking at it this way, the murderer should have added it later. If you remove the vertical and horizontal lines, the message will become, handsome guy. Huh?"

Jiang Chengshou saw that the only handsome guy in the location team was Na Zhizhenwu, the leading actor, but he didn't look like that. What was his motive?

At this moment, Takagi, who was sent to search the hotel, returned. "The police department found this kind of thing from the victim's room." Takagi said and handed the photo in his hand to Officer Megure.

The moment Nazhi Zhenwu saw the photo, he immediately became nervous.

Officer Megure looked at the photo and said with some doubts: "Huh? This is, Mr. Nazhi is walking out of the hotel with a woman."

Kogoro Mori looked at the woman in the photo and said in surprise, "This woman is the actress Ritsuko Akiyama."

Hearing the woman's name, someone from the location team said, "Huh? But she's already married."

Everyone at the scene looked at Zhizhenwu in shock, and police officer Mu Mu said calmly, "Is this evidence of cheating?"

Nazhi Zhenwu took a step back nervously, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "So?"

Mori Kogoro looked at Mao Lilan in surprise, "Xiao Lan, what do you know?"

Mao Lilan recalled: "Conan and I saw Mr. Anxi in the evening, threatening Mr. Nazhi."

Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro were taken aback, "What? Mr. Nachi was threatened?"

Jiang Chengshou frowned when he saw this scene, "There is a motive, but why does it always feel a little wrong? Would the murderer really leave such obvious clues?"

Conan also has some doubts in his heart. At present, Mr. Nazhi is the most suspicious. Moreover, at the time of the crime, Mr. Nazhi lived alone in another hotel, and there was no alibi, so there is indeed the possibility of committing the crime.

Conan walked slowly to the corpse, saw Jiang Chengshouyi frowning, and quickly asked, "Brother Shouyi, are you worried about how to decipher the death message?"

Jiang Chengshou sighed, "No, I have already solved the death message."

Conan's pupils widened in an instant, and he looked at Jiang Cheng Shouichi in surprise, "What? Brother Shouyi, you solved it?"

Jiang Chengshou hummed, and then pointed to the two places just now, "Look, when these two katakana were written, they were not connected at the place where they should be connected."

Conan followed Jiang Shiro's prompt, and immediately found the problem, "This is? This should be added after the murderer. If you remove the vertical and horizontal lines, it will become, handsome guy?"

Conan glanced at Jiang Chengshouyi, and then at Na Zhizhenwu, "So, is it Na Zhizhenwu who is the murderer?"

Jiang Chengshou hesitated and said: "What I feel strange now is this place. There should be problems here."

Conan looked at Jiang Cheng Shouichi suspiciously, "You feel that there is still a problem there, Brother Shouyi."

Jiang Chengshouyi did not answer Conan, but walked to the steps below the deceased, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the watch worn by the deceased, "The left hand is obviously covered with blood, why is this watch not stained with blood?"

Conan heard Jiang Cheng Shouichi's words, ran down, looked at his watch, and guessed: "Brother Shouyi, I was wondering if someone took off the victim's watch after he was killed?"

Jiang Chengshou supported the elbow of his right hand with his left hand, and then his chin with his right hand, looking like he was thinking. "Is the murderer trying to delay the actual time of committing the crime so that he has an alibi?"

Conan seemed to have thought of something, "Well, that's right, Brother Shouyi, I did hear the alarm of this watch in the hotel tonight. It should be that the murderer took the watch back, and then deliberately let it go in the victim's room. The alarm goes off."

Jiang Chengshouyi also had a general picture in his mind at this moment, "On the way back, the murderer found blood on his watch, so he wiped the blood off the watch."

"That is to say, what Elder Sister Xiaolan saw in the hotel was not Mr. Anxi, but the murderer's disguise. The murderer put on a vest and a hat from the room of the deceased, and walked out of the hotel." Conan continued following his train of thought.

"Well, after the murderer came out of the hotel, he went back to the shrine, put the watch back on the dead man's hand, and then put the vest and hat beside the dead man. And in order to blame Mr. Nachi, he wrote the handsome guy." Jiang Chengshou lowered his head as soon as he finished speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.

Conan noticed something wrong, "Brother Shouyi, there is a problem here. Why, the murderer didn't just write Nachi, but the handsome guy?"

Afterwards, Eshiro Shouichi and Conan looked at each other, and they both thought of the answer. Conan stood up, put his hands in his pockets and said, "Because the deceased had already written the murderer's name, the murderer had no choice but to add a few strokes, and it became the answer." handsome guy."

Mamoru Eshiro looked at Taeko Mamegaki, "There is one more question. We have forgotten a point in our reasoning just now. It was not the murderer who pretended to be the deceased at that time, but someone else."

Conan looked at Eshiro Moriichi suspiciously, "Huh?" Then Conan also reacted, "That's right, at that time Miss Taeko passed by Mr. Anzai in disguise, now thinking about Miss Taeko's terrified expression at that time, everything said That makes sense. But who is that man pretending to be Mr. Anzai?"

Eshiro Moriichi and Conan looked at Shimazaki Yuji at the same time, Eshiro Moriichi smiled, "No accident, it is Taeko's fiancé Mr. Shimazaki, and he is the only one who has this possibility."

Later, just as Eshiro Shouichi and Conan reasoned, Mamegaki Taeko admitted her crime. Like Mr. Nachi, she had been blackmailed by Anzai all the time, and today she came to settle this matter.

"I made an appointment with Anxi to hand over the money to him here around 09:30 tonight. But I threatened Anxi with a knife and told him not to appear in front of me again."

"However, that guy rushed towards me very angry, and the switchblade was just..." After finishing speaking, Mamegaki Taeko knelt on the ground and cried, "I really didn't intend to kill him."

As for Shimazaki Yuji, he also admitted that he saw the name of Taeko written on the scene, so he thought of pretending to be the scene, wiped off the fingerprints of the knife, took off Anzai's watch and took it back to the hotel, and added the death message. A few strokes, put the blame on Mr. Nazhi.
