Conan the Hell Puppet Master

"It seems that the lady's misunderstanding of us has not been resolved, so we have to wait for the police to come, and we will explain it slowly!"

Soon, the police came to the scene of the crime, as Kogoro thought, it was Henggou.

"Ah, sure enough, I met Mr. Maori, but I didn't expect to meet in this way!"

As soon as Henggou entered the room, he greeted Kogoro warmly.

"However, why did you appear in the dead man's room!"

"really..."

Conan seemed to have noticed something, but Kogoro was explaining to Henggou the reason for his appearance at the scene, so he didn't want to interrupt, so he could only walk to the place where Shibata Shiro was dead.

Because of Kyoko's sudden appearance, Conan didn't have time to examine the body. "So that's how it is! When you came to visit Mr. Shibata, you rang the doorbell several times and no one answered, so you opened the door. like..."

Henggou listened to Kogoro's narration and couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

"We didn't break through the empty door, it just happened that the door was not closed, and we were eager to find someone, so we came in."

Kogoro waved his hands and explained frantically.

"Since Mr. Maori knows that this is an empty door, please be careful in the future!"

After all, Henggou still believed in Kogoro, and after reminding him, he returned to this incident.

"After coming in, Mr. Mouri found the blood on the ground, so he told Miss Xiaolan to call the police, and then met Mrs. Shibata Kyoko who was just returning to the house. By the way, Mrs. Shibata, why didn't you meet Xiaolan when you came up? Miss."

"I took the safety stairs, so I didn't hit it!"

Kyoko wiped the corners of her eyes, looking a little sad.

"Well, why does Miss Shibata take the safety stairs?"

Henggou was a little puzzled.

"This is because..."

Before Kyoko's words were spoken, a police officer approached and told Henggou that the preliminary autopsy had come out.

"According to the stiffness of the corpse, it can be preliminarily calculated that the time of death of the deceased is between dawn and morning."

Henggou, who heard the report, nodded and looked at Shibata Kyoko.

"Excuse me, where was Mrs. Kyoko that morning."

"That..., I made an appointment with a friend yesterday to play golf, so she picked me up to go to the golf course at five this morning, so I went out before five:55 this morning.

You can go to her to confirm, her name is."

Shibata Kyoko explained her friend's name and phone number.

"Um!"

Henggou ordered his police officers to investigate, and then asked another question.

"Where was Mr. Shibata at that time?"

"He should have been sleeping at home at that time, because last night he played mahjong with his neighbor, Mr. Yoshikawa, and didn't come back until three in the morning. In the morning, I prepared breakfast for him before leaving!"

After listening to Kyoko's explanation, Henggou opened the living room and asked, pointing to the half-eaten meal on the table.

"Is this your breakfast?"

"Yes!"

"Did you also prepare the newspaper on the table?"

"This is not the case. The daily delivery time of the newspaper is 6:[-]:[-] in the morning, I was already out of the house by that time!"

That's what Kyoko was waiting for, and quickly put aside his suspicions.

And she didn't lie about this, it was indeed not she who put it, but Gao Yuanzhao who knew Kyoko's complete plan.

"If you say that, your husband got up in the morning, retrieved the newspaper, and was attacked and killed in the middle of the meal."

Henggou, who made a simple inference, looked at Kogoro again.

"Mr. Maury, what do you think or do you find something strange?"

"I'm pretty much what you think! But..."

Kogoro scratched his beard, a little embarrassed.

"When I came, the TV was actually on. I thought it was too loud and turned it off."

"Mr. Maori, your behavior is really the same as breaking through an empty door!"

Henggou reprimanded very angrily, making Kogoro even more embarrassed, and quickly explained.

"I think it's probably... I watch TV and eat while eating in the morning. It's nothing special, and I still remember the content. It seems to be some ancient TV drama!"

"Ah, when this gentleman said so, I remembered!"

Kyoko interrupted suddenly.

"My husband has been watching a TV series called Legend of Swordsman, he must watch it every morning, and even record it, and watch it in his study if he has something to do."

So everyone walked into the study together, and indeed they saw that the cabinets were neatly arranged, and there were rows of videotapes with the title "Legend of the Swordsman" written on them.

"It seems so right!"

Kogoro point.

Very satisfied with the information presented.

Henggou immediately ordered his men to investigate the TV and VCR.

At this time, Conan, who had already discovered the body and was about to assist Kogoro, suddenly found that there was nothing in the middle of the TV cabinet where the projector was placed.

"Ah Lie Lie, it's so strange that there are so many DVDs here, but there are no projection machines!"

"Hey, what's so strange about this, I think [-]% of it is taken for repair!"

Kogoro doesn't care about such small details.

"no!"

Just as soon as he finished speaking, Kogoro was slapped in the face by Kyoko's scream.

"It's all this man who sold his computer, projector and some furniture for gambling, woohoo!"

Kyoko's mood was very unstable, and there was even a hint of crying in her voice.

"I take the safety stairs because I really don't want to face my...neighbors, they all know about my husband, I don't want to face their pointing , woo woo woo!"

Kyoko reveals her true feelings, which is indeed very sympathetic, which is also her motive for killing her husband.

At this time, Chi Bo Jinghua appeared at the right time, handed over a tissue, and comforted.

"Shibada is gone, those who are alive should still live well, everything will be fine."

But compared to comfort, Chi Bo Jinghua's words were more like a reminder, and Kogoro obviously understood it.

"It won't be Mrs. Kyoko, in order to get rid of your husband who is addicted to gambling, so... eh, make a guess, don't look at me like that!"

Kogoro, who can't read the atmosphere, received contempt from everyone around him, but what he said is indeed possible! Henggou opened his mouth to ask several times, but he was afraid of being despised like Kogoro, so he could only think about it. he.

"By the way, is this lady... the legendary Maori lady?"

"no."

Chi Bo Jinghua bowed very gracefully and introduced herself.

"I am Mr. Mori's client this time. I came to look for Mr. Shibata Shiro, and I want to get back a previous photo. It happened that Mrs. Kyoko was here. I will ask if you have seen the book "Thor's Gate". Book."

"I don't know very well, but I saw him find all the books on the bookcase a few days ago. I thought he was going to sell it, so I didn't pay attention to it. You can see it and put it there."

Kyoko pointed to the pile of books beside the bookcase and said.

"I think my photo should have nothing to do with the case, so rude!"

Chi Bo Jinghua bowed to Henggou again, and then found it in the pile of books.

Henggou wanted to stop it, but was hinted by Kogoro's frantic wink, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Conan, on the other hand, ran to the autopsy officer and assisted.

"Ah Lie Lie, the dead man's hand is so tight, is there something hidden in it!"

"What's in the Hand"

The stupid friends Henggou and Kogoro immediately thought of something, and they let the police officer break their hands and found the mahjong that was being held.

"Mrs. Kyoko, your husband is gambling with a prop, isn't it mahjong!"

"Yes!"

Kyoko replied while being "surprised"

expressly.

"Ah, that... Mahjong is not a blank board!"

"It's really a white board, is it your mahjong, but I didn't see any other mahjongs when I was there except for one!"

Henggou glanced at the mahjong colors and asked.

"Actually, this should be given to my husband by Mr. Yoshikawa next door. You also know that my husband lost a lot of money because of mahjong gambling, and almost all of it was won by Mr. Yoshikawa!"

Having said this, Kyoko paused, and his mood became low again.

"So a few days ago, Mr. Yoshikawa sent this card over, saying it was comfort, but in fact it was ridicule, and they even had a fight about it, but it was not a big fight, and it passed away last night. huh?"

Such a sad tone made the atmosphere a little heavy again.

"Cough cough!"

Henggou quickly coughed twice.

"Since Mrs. Kyoko said so, let's go to visit, by the way, to confirm whether Mr. Shibata came back at three in the morning last night, after all, Mrs. Kyoko still has...don't look at me like that, I'm just making a guess!"
