Detective Conan: The Unknown Killer

In the large hall, a corpse is lying on a square table, and the medical examiner is methodically conducting a scene investigation, while Officer Sato is questioning the first discoverer and informant.

This is a female white-collar worker about 30 years old, who worked the night shift last night, and came back in the early morning to find that the door of the neighbor's house that has been empty all year round was open, and then saw that Fukuyama Gui had died. The police immediately contacted the company where she worked to confirm that she was indeed working overtime at the time, even if she could find ten witnesses, so her suspicion was ruled out.

"It's really speechless, the old case has not been solved, and the new case is coming. Hua didn't know how to look at Conan like a fly, "Is there a clue?"

Conan nodded slightly, "There are two key points in her testimony, the first is that the door is open, and the second is that the lights are on in the hall. "

"The door is open, the light is on?" Hua Ming was a little puzzled, but he understood in the next second.

Ordinary people will definitely hide things after committing murder, and they don't want to be discovered, but this time the murderer lit the lamp and opened the door, as if he deliberately wanted others to see it, which is really awkward.

Could it be a very arrogant murderer?

Kogoro Mori asks the old forensic doctor who examined the body, "Has the time of death been found out?"

The old forensic doctor didn't raise his head, and while examining the body, he replied: "The time of death was between nine and half past nine last night." The cause of death was a knife to the lungs, which usually takes a long time of severe pain before death. The murder weapon was supposed to be a fruit knife, which was stabbed through the left chest of the deceased, and was later taken away by the murderer. "

"Huh?" Hanami suddenly let out a surprised voice.

"What's wrong?" Kogoro asked, just as he heard it, because he realized that the child was very smart.

"This murderer is really weird. Hua Ming frowned, "When he left the scene, he forgot to turn off the lights and closed the door, but he didn't forget to take away the murder weapon......

."

Maori Kogoro was also stunned for a moment, "Indeed...... Is this carelessness or carefulness?".

Conan suddenly cried out in a milky voice, "Uncle, don't you think the posture of the deceased is so strange?".

Posture?

Kogoro then took a closer look at the deceased.

Suddenly it was discovered that the deceased's hand was pointing at a wooden table, and a group photo was placed on the table.

Kogoro walked over but opened the drawer first, and when he saw that the drawer was empty, he bent down to look at the group photo, "Is the deceased referring to this photo?" he muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the murderer is among them?" Officer Twilight stepped forward to make a guess.

There are seven people in the photo, including Daisuke Yamada, who died last week, and Takato Fukuyama, who died this week.

Mori Kogoro closed his eyes and pondered, Daisuke's last words still echoing in his ears, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: if Daisuke was wronged, then who was the real person who embezzled public funds?

His gaze couldn't help but cast on the corpse on the table.

That's right, it's Fukuyama Taka.

Thinking of this, Kogoro's gaze fell on Seiichi Yamada.

Seeing this, the corners of Hua Ming's mouth raised slightly, and it seemed that Uncle Maori was thinking of going with him. If it is Takashi Fukuyama who is really embezzling public funds, then this time it is likely that the young man is avenging his dead father.

"Where were you last night between nine and half past nine?" Seiichi Yamada!" Mori Kogoro questioned him

"I? I ...... last night. I'm shopping, what's wrong?".

"You seem to have been crying out for your father, right?"

Seiichi nodded firmly, "That's right, I don't believe my father ever embezzled public funds!".

"Oh, if you found out that it was Fukuyama who framed your father, would you kill him?"

Seiichi was shocked, his face full of disbelief, "This ...... If I had known that he was a real offender, I would have reported him instead of using violence. "

"Don't pretend! you're the murderer!" shouted Kogoro Maori, pointing at him.

Hua Ming and Conan both wiped their foreheads, and sure enough, it developed like this in the end, and it seems that it is basically impossible for Uncle Maori to solve the case himself.

"Now, Conan, let's do it ourselves. Hua Ming looked back and said, Conan nodded slightly.

......

Hua Ming took a look around the hall, and suddenly saw many photo frames on the partitions on both sides of the wall-mounted TV, and the gap between the two photo frames was particularly large, as if one of the photo frames had been taken away from the middle. He took a closer look and sure enough, the gap was very clean and dust-free, and it was definitely something that had been let go but had been taken away.

He jerked his head back and looked in the direction the corpse's fingers were pointing.

Could it be that the photo that disappeared next to the TV is the one that disappeared? Thinking of this, Hua Ming immediately ran to the wooden table, grabbed the group photo and ran back.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Officer Twilight yells, "This is the scene of the murder, things can't be moved!".

Hua Ming ignored him at all, ran to the TV and placed the group photo in the gap between the two photo frames, which happened to fit perfectly with the traces of dust.

He couldn't help but change his face, "What the hell is this...... What's going on?".

Officer Twilight, who came over, was also surprised when he found this, "Eh, how does that photo match the traces here?"

However, he just felt strange, but he didn't feel wrong, only Conan's face changed when he heard this sentence and Hana Ming.

"Hey, uncle, do you know what this means......" Conan looked up and asked Kogoro with a serious face.

"What do you mean?" Kogoro was confused.

Hua Ming calmed his face, "Don't you understand? The deceased's finger pointed to the group photo, but the group photo should have been next to the TV. Do you think a dying man has the time to take the picture from here to the table, and then lie down and die?"

"That's right...... After Takashi Fukuyama died, someone put the picture on the wooden table. Conan added with the same composure.

Everyone looked incredulous.

Hanami walked to the wooden table, opened the empty drawer, and said, "If the photo was placed by the murderer, it means that there was nothing on the table at first, so it seems that Fukuyama Gui did not refer to the photo before he died, but this drawer!"

"But the drawer is empty?" said Officer Twilight, bewildered.

Officer Sato woke up like a dream after being instructed, and looked at the flower in shock, the child ......

"Yes, but there must have been something in the original drawer, something that could reveal the identity of the murderer. Hua Ming frowned slightly, "After the murderer took the items, he felt that the police would definitely notice that the deceased's posture was unnatural, so he took the photo and put it on the table, so that we could think that Fukuyama was hinting at this group photo from the beginning." "

After this explanation, everyone understood, but what exactly was the murderer taking away? Mori Kogoro raised his head in shock, only to see Hanami and Conan staring at Seiichi Yamada expressionlessly.

Suddenly, Mori Kogoro also reacted, pointing at Seiichi Yamada and shouting, "You are really a prisoner!".
