Detective Cauchy

Chapter 10

Afterwards, Kexi didn't continue to talk too much. After all, he is still a child now. If he behaves too smart, it will easily make people suspicious.

After being denied by everyone, Mori Kogoro did not give up reasoning because of this, he began to think about the clues left at the scene.

The clue of "the blood on the edge of the bath is in a straight line" alone cannot prove that the deceased was murdered.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the bathroom has been sealed with tape, forming a complete secret room.

If the deceased was really murdered, how did the murderer escape from the completely sealed bathroom?

This is also a question that everyone present has always wanted to think about.

With everyone's reasoning and thinking, more than 20 minutes passed quietly.

Seeing that the time left for him by the system was less than 10 minutes, Cauchy was secretly worried.

At this moment, Conan still had his hands in his trouser pockets, his brows were tightly frowned, his expression was very serious and devoted, presumably he was thinking about something.

Seeing Conan thinking seriously, Cauchy was also a little helpless.

If nothing goes wrong according to the rhythm in the original cartoon, Conan will definitely be able to solve the murder case.

But now, Cauchy doesn't have so much time to wait for Conan to crack it.

There is no other way, since Conan has been reluctant to dispatch, then he has no choice but to find clues himself.

Without disturbing others, Cauchy walked lightly and quietly towards the outside of the bathroom.

When he passed the door of the bathroom, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

When he inadvertently glanced at the deceased's sister Qindao Quandai just now, he found an imperceptible smile flashing from the corner of her mouth.

"There is something wrong with this woman." Ke Xi thought to himself.

Her own sister is dead, but she can still laugh?

Even a hard-hearted person, in this situation, probably wouldn't laugh, would he?

Thinking carefully about the clues I heard before, Kotoshima Izumi lived with her sister Kotoshima Mina.If Qindao Meicai did not commit suicide, the most suspected person is this Qindao Quandai.

But what Kexi couldn't figure out was, if Kotoshima Izumi was the murderer, what was her motive for killing her sister?And how did she escape from the sealed bathroom?

Thinking about it, Kexi continued to walk and left the bathroom.

Although this woman is suspicious, he has no evidence now.So what he has to do now is to find more clues.

Because of suspicion of Kotoshima Izumi, Ke Xi came to her room secretly.

His eyes searched the objects in the room to see if he could find any clues.

When he saw the bookshelf, Cauchy moved to the side of the bookshelf.

The books on the bookshelves are neatly arranged, and the location of each book is very clear, and the classification is quite accurate.

All this seemed very normal, however, Cauchy could still see some clues from the bookshelf.

He found that the covers of the books on the bookshelf were very clean, as if they had been wiped recently.

However, the shelves of the bookshelves are covered with dust, which is in stark contrast to the clean books.

Under normal circumstances, if you organize and wipe the books, you will definitely wipe the bookshelves where the books are placed.

Moreover, it is impossible for someone who can classify books so accurately and clearly to make such an obvious mistake.

That being said, there must be something tricky about this matter.

But what does this have to do with the murder case?

"The sealed bathroom, two bottles of hydrochloric acid bathroom cleaner, and the neat bloodstains on the edge of the bathtub, and this questionable bookshelf, what is the relationship between them?" Kexi frowned and thought.

After thinking for a long time, he still didn't have any clue. In desperation, Kexi had to quietly leave Kotoshima Izumidai's room.

Just after coming out of Kotoshima Izumiyo's room, Mori Kogoro, Conan and others came out of the bathroom and were discussing the situation in the living room.

Ten minutes passed quietly, and the system left only 10 minutes for Cauchy.

Looking at the countdown clock left by the system in his mind, Cauchy couldn't help but frown. Is this mission really going to fail?

"Officer Megure!" At this moment, Officer Takagi who had gone out to inquire about the situation suddenly came back.

After seeing Officer Takagi, Officer Megure and Mori Kogoro approached, and Officer Megure asked, "Brother Takagi, have you heard the news from the convenience store?"

"I found out." Officer Takagi took out a black notepad from his suit pocket, opened it, glanced at the recorded information, and then said to Officer Megure: "At 07:30 last night, where did two bottles of bathroom Cleaning agent and a roll of tape, and Miss Mei Cai also bought two bottles of canned beer."

"Canned beer?" Officer Meguro asked suspiciously.

Mori Kogoro, who was standing next to Police Officer Megure, suddenly said, "When I was in the kitchen just now, I did find two cans of beer and some sleeping pills."

He went on to say: "From this point of view, this Miss Mei Cai must have lost her mind after taking sleeping pills, and that's why she had the motive to commit suicide."

So far, the confused detective still feels that his point of view is correct, and the cause of death of Kotoshima Mina is suicide.

Hearing Kogoro Mori's words, Officer Megure also nodded, and then asked Officer Takagi: "So, how did Miss Mina look at that time?"

"The people at the convenience store said that Ms. Mina is the same as usual, but..." At this point, Officer Takagi's expression became a little uncertain.

"Just what?" Police Officer Megure asked.

"Oh...no, it's actually nothing." Officer Takagi thought for a while, but finally didn't say anything.

"There's no need to doubt it. This case is a suicide. It can't be wrong." Detective Maori said with certainty.Then he hooked Officer Mumu's shoulder and walked aside.

After the two of them left, Conan, who had been listening to the situation, walked up to Officer Takagi and said to him, "Uncle Police Officer, what did you just say?"

"Actually, the manager of the convenience store said a strange thing. She said that Miss Mei Cai suddenly replaced one of the bottles of bathroom cleaner with another bathroom cleaner when she was paying."

"So that's how it is!" Kexi, who was standing aside and eavesdropping, touched his chin with his right hand after hearing Officer Takagi's words, looking thoughtful.

Conan also seemed to understand something, and immediately said to Officer Takagi: "You'd better tell Officer Megure about this matter, this matter is likely to be evidence to deny suicide..."

Suddenly, Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes focused on the door behind Officer Takagi.There is a suspicious black spot above the door.

So, Conan quickly said to Officer Takagi: "Uncle Police, look quickly, what is that?"

Officer Takagi immediately turned around and looked back when he heard the words, and said, "You mean the cat's eye on the door?"

"No, I mean, the black dot on it." Conan pointed to the suspicious black dot on the cat's eye.

"Oh?" Officer Takagi also noticed the suspicious black spot, got up quickly, and took a closer look.When he saw clearly what the black spot was, he was also surprised and said, "It's blood stains."

"Blood stain?" x3
Three consecutive horrified voices came one after another, two voices were from Conan and Xiaolan, and the other was from Ke Xi who was standing aside and eavesdropping.

After hearing the word 'blood stain', Cauchy stopped hiding, and hurried to the door to have a look. Sure enough, the suspicious black spot on the cat's eye was indeed a blood stain.

"But, why is there blood stain here?" Officer Takagi observed the blood stain carefully, a little puzzled.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and Officer Takagi who was standing by the door was hit on the head.

"Mei Cuisine!"

Suddenly a man barged in from outside the door and asked anxiously, "Meicai, where is Mei Cai?"

After Kotoshima Izumi saw the man in the living room, he hurried over and asked in surprise, "Xian'er, why are you here?"

The man grabbed Qindao Quandai's shoulder and asked excitedly, "I heard that Mei Cai committed suicide, is it true?"

"That's right, Mina committed suicide." Kotoshima Izumi said in a low voice.Then, she asked the man again: "But Xian Er, how do you know about this?"

"I informed this gentleman." Police officer Takagi on the side rubbed his red nose, and then explained: "Because we estimated the time of Miss Mina's death, the call here happened to be recorded by this gentleman. left a message on the phone, so we informed the gentleman and asked him to come here."

"Why...why did Mei Cai want to commit suicide? I should have broken the window and rushed in yesterday if I knew it." The man said painfully.

"Yesterday?" Conan immediately asked when he heard these two words, "According to what you said, did you go here yesterday?"

The man looked at Conan, and then said: "After I called yesterday, I found no one answered, and then I came to the place where Mei Cai lived, and no one answered the door after ringing the doorbell several times. I thought she didn't come back, so I stood at the door and waited for a long time, but I still didn't see her come back. I thought she might be asleep, so I went back again."

"Why, Mei Cai, why did you commit suicide? We are getting married the day after tomorrow." The man said in a sad voice.

"Married?" Officer Takagi asked in confusion.

"That's right, we did hear from Ms. Izumi that she said that Ms. Mei Cai is going to marry this Mr. Xian'er in two days, and the new house will be this house." Xiaolan explained.

Seeing the sad look of the man named Xian Er, Xiaolan also became a little sad: "It's just that I didn't expect Miss Mei Cai to be so upset."

"Marriage, new house? Could it be..."

Hearing these two words, Cauchy suddenly became enlightened.All the previous doubts were also figured out by him.

He guessed right, the murderer was her, that woman - Qindao Quandai.

Ke Xi still doesn't know the motive of Qindao Quandai's killing of her sister, but Ke Xi has already understood the method of killing her.

The next step is to conduct a perfect reasoning, and then the murder case can be solved!

Ke Xi looked at the countdown in his mind, there were still more than five minutes, enough.

Thinking about it, Kexi looked at Conan again, and suddenly found that Conan was hiding in the corner, aiming at Kogoro Mori with a watch-shaped anesthesia gun.

Obviously, Conan also solved the truth of the murder.

Seeing this, Cauchy breathed a sigh of relief, since Conan has already untied it, then leave everything to Conan, and he will save trouble.

However, everything in this world always happens by accident.

At this time, Conan-kun is encountering the gank of his favorite Xiaolan sister.

Just when Conan was about to give Mori Kogoro an injection, Xiaolan suddenly appeared behind him, with his hands on his hips, and said angrily, "Conan, what are you doing?"

"Sister Xiaolan..." Conan turned around, and when he saw Xiaolan with black lines all over his head, his expression became bitter.

"I told you not to make trouble, hurry up and calm down." Xiaolan said angrily, then picked up Conan's collar and hugged him into her arms.

"No, sister Xiaolan, let me go!"

Conan-kun struggled desperately, however, the more fiercely he resisted, the more excited Xiaolan became... Ahh, the tighter the hug.

"Oh, this guy is really unreliable!" Seeing this situation, Kexi sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to be let out.
