Detective Cauchy

Chapter 9

When Kexi and Yuanzi arrived at the scene of the murder, 10 minutes had passed, that is to say, there were only 10 minutes left in the hour given to him by the system.

In this regard, Cauchy greeted this damn system and Dr. Dumb again in his heart!
Because Yuanzi had notified Xiaolan in advance before they came, Xiaolan greeted them as soon as they got out of the car: "Yuanzi, why are you here?"

"It's not this kid who has been clamoring for me to bring him here." Sonoko glanced at Coxi.

"Hehe..." Ke Xi scratched his head and laughed dryly.

Under Xiaolan's leadership, Kexi and the others came to an apartment.

On the way, Xiaolan also gave them an overview of the situation.

The murder happened in this apartment, and the deceased died in the bathroom of the room.

Judging from the circumstances at the scene, the cause of death should be suicide.

But Cauchy was sure that this was not suicide, but homicide.Otherwise, the system would not allow him to reason and solve the case.

When he saw Coxi and Sonoko, Conan, who was thinking about something, asked in surprise, "Hey... Sister Sonoko, Suzuki-san, why are you here?"

"Hello, Edogawa-san!" Kexi greeted Conan with a smile.

"Why, kid wearing glasses, can you come but we can't come?" Sonoko said to Conan with his hands on his back, bowing his head.

"But... Uncle Maori is solving a case, so I'm afraid it's not good for you to come here suddenly?" Conan said.

"Little devil, don't forget that I'm also a detective, and I've solved several cases before." Yuanzi said unconvinced.

"Please, I broke it, okay?" Conan rolled his half-moon eyes again, speechless in his heart.

Seeing Conan's disdainful eyes, Sonoko immediately became unhappy, raised his fist, and said in a bad tone: "Smelly brat, do you look down on me with your eyes?"

"No way..." Conan laughed dryly.

"Okay, Sonoko, stop making trouble." Seeing Conan's embarrassment, Xiaolan immediately stood up to smooth things over.As expected of a couple...

"Sister Sonoko, are you also a detective?" Ke Xi who was standing aside suddenly asked.

"Of course, your sister Sonoko and I share the title of 'Sleeping Detective' just like Uncle Maori." Sonoko raised her head slightly, her tone quite proud.

"Really? It's really amazing." Coxi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sonoko with feigned admiration.

"Of course!" Yuanzi raised her head arrogantly, with no concealment of satisfaction on her face.

"Please..." Conan-kun on the side was speechless again.

"Sister Yuanzi, since you are also a detective, can you solve this murder case?" Ke Xi asked again.

"Of course no problem. This kind of small case, my detective Suzuki Sonoko, will solve it in minutes."

Kexi's words aroused Yuanzi's competitive spirit, and she moved towards the scene of the murder.

Seeing that Sonoko was on the move, Kexi smiled.

When Sonoko said that she was also a detective, Kexi suddenly remembered that before that, Conan had indeed used Sonoko as a stand-in to solve several cases.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

His current body is the same as that of Conan, he has become a child, and it is inconvenient to come forward to solve the case directly.

But he can train Sonoko to be a famous detective like Mori Kogoro. In this way, he can solve the case like Conan without showing up.

"Sonoko... Sigh!" Seeing this situation, Conan sighed helplessly.

So, Conan also left for the bathroom. He still had several questions that he hadn't solved before, and now he had to find some more clues.

After they were all gone, Cauchy followed, mostly behind Conan.

With Conan's observation ability, he must be able to find some important clues soon.Following him is definitely a very smart choice.

When Cauchy walked to the bathroom, the supervisors were collecting all kinds of useful information in the bathroom.

Through their conversation, Kexi learned that the deceased was named Qindao Meicai, 24 years old this year, and the cause of death was a cut on the left wrist and excessive blood loss caused by a ruptured artery.

In addition to Mori Kogoro, the newly arrived Sonoko and the police, there was also a woman named Kotoshima Izumiyo, who was the elder sister of the deceased.He was also one of those who found the dead.

In the bathroom at the murder scene, all the doors and windows were covered with tape, and all the gaps were blocked, forming a complete secret room.

After inspecting the bathroom, the supervisors found that only the fingerprints of the deceased, Qindao Meica, were on the tape pasted on the doors and windows.

In addition, two bottles of hydrochloric acid bathroom cleaner and a roll of tape that sealed the doors and windows were also found at the scene.

Through these conditions, Mori Kogoro, the confused detective, believed that the cause of death of the deceased was suicide.

At this time, Yuanzi suddenly said, "I don't think this is suicide, but homicide."

After his reasoning was denied, Mori Kogoro immediately became unhappy: "You little girl, what do you know, go, go, get out quickly, don't interfere with my solution to the case."

"Confused old man, you just want to go out. It was obviously a homicide. If you insist on calling it a suicide, you are still a famous detective with the same name as me, hum."

"You...you said it was murder, what evidence do you have?" Mori Kogoro was a little anxious, but he had no choice but to say that with Sonoko.

"Didn't you see the messy knife wound on the dead man's wrist? Have you ever seen someone who committed suicide cut his own wrist like this?" Sonoko said, pointing to the wound on the dead man's wrist.

"Huh?" Hearing Sonoko's words, Mori Kogoro hurriedly approached the dead body, grabbed the dead man's wrist, looked at it, and said in surprise, "That's true."

Police officer Mu Mu who also came over also said in a deep voice: "Generally speaking, for people who attempt to commit suicide by cutting their wrists, the marks of the knife and the fatal wound are almost parallel wounds, and there should not be such a large cross mark. From this point of view, shouldn’t it be…”

"It's just a coincidence, which means that Miss Mina was really insane when she committed suicide." Kogoro Mori immediately interrupted Police Officer Megure.

At this time, Conan suddenly said: "But, if this is the case, will she still clean?"

"Cleaning?" Everyone looked at Conan after hearing the words.

I saw Conan pointing to the edge of the bathtub and said: "Look, the blood splattered on the edge of the bathtub is a very neat line, which means that after the blood spurted out, this sister wiped it off with something, Right?"

"You idiot, a person who is about to commit suicide, how could he do such a thing." Mori Kogoro scolded immediately.

"Why is the blood so neat?" Conan pretended to be puzzled.

"This... I think it's because when the blood sprayed out, there happened to be something..." Kogoro Mouri hesitated, unable to figure out what was going on.

"Just when she cut her wrist, there was another person beside her. Right?" Conan said with a smile.

"Eh..." Mori Kogoro suddenly laughed dryly, and then said to Police Officer Megure, "Officer Megure, so it could be..."

"Well, that's right, this is very likely to be a homicide." Officer Mumu nodded.

"Let me just say, it must be murder." Yuanzi immediately raised his head and said proudly.

"Could it be tape?" Miss Qindao Quandai who was standing behind everyone suddenly said, "Didn't you find a roll of tape in the bathroom?"

"That's right!" Mori Kogoro seemed to have suddenly realized, and quickly said to everyone: "If Miss Kotoshima Mina put the roll of tape next to the bathtub before cutting her wrist, and accidentally knocked down the roll of tape after cutting her wrist If so, it all makes sense.”

"It's impossible!" At this time, a child's voice came: "If it was blocked by tape, the blood stain would not be in a straight line, but would only be in a curve."

Everyone heard the sound and looked, only to see a child the same age as Conan standing on the edge of the bath, carefully observing the blood.

"Who is this brat?" Mori Kogoro asked first.

"His name is Suzuki Koshi, and he is Sonoko's cousin." Xiaolan explained.

"Suzuki Koshi?" Mori Kogoro asked doubtfully, and Officer Megure and others on the side also looked at each other.

It was the first time they saw Ke Xi, so they were a little curious.

"That's right, he is my cousin of Suzuki Sonoko." Sonoko patted his chest and said proudly.It's not easy to have such a cute and cute brother, how can I not show it off to others?
"Another troublesome brat..." Mori Kogoro curled his lips and said in a low voice.

"..." The corner of Conan's mouth twitched a few times, Kogoro Mori used the word 'again', obviously including him.Is this a lie?
Mori Kogoro continued the topic just now, and said: "The roll of tape may be placed vertically, so the blood stains are in a straight line."

"Uncle mustache, are you an idiot? If you put it upright on the edge of the bath, wouldn't the tape fall into the bath?" Kexi blinked his cute big eyes, looking innocently at Mori Kogoro , said.

Everyone nodded immediately when they heard the words, not knowing whether they agreed with Kogoro's statement that he was an idiot, or with Cauchy's explanation.

"Little devil, you..." Mori Kogoro was furious, and when he wanted to beat Coxi, Sonoko immediately stood up and stood in front of Coxi.

Seeing this situation, Kexi couldn't help giving the nympho cousin a thumbs up, she really is a good sister.
