In Conan, people have a brain option system

Chapter 86 Locating the murderer

‘Sogabe is dead? ! ’

Akikawa Sosuke was also a little surprised when he heard what Maori Ran said.

He also had an impression of this director named “Sogabe”.

He was one of the directors at the first table that Okino Yoko took him to greet at the dinner yesterday.

Akikawa Sosuke clearly remembered that Sogabe Ryo was always drowsy at the dinner.

And after being teased by Okino Yoko, he said that if he had known earlier, he should have slept in the hotel.

‘Kousaka Tsunekazu and Sogabe Ryo are both directors I greeted at the first table. ’

‘There is only one left now, that is Soma Miho, who teased with Okino Yoko and suddenly had a backache before shaking hands with me. ’

‘Kousaka Tsunekazu, Sogabe Ryo, and Soma Miho are different in their situations, but they have “commonality”. ’

‘Now that we know that the doctor, Takao Ohkawa, knows Tsunekazu Kosaka, there is a high possibility that he knows the remaining two. ’

‘If the cause of Sogabe Ryo’s death is similar to that of Tsunekazu Kosaka, then the murderer is most likely Yoshitoki Horita, who has a grudge against Takao Ohkawa. ’

Through Sogabe Ryo’s death, Akikawa Sosuke keenly noticed the connection between this incident and yesterday’s case.

But there is still something that makes him feel out of place in this matter.

That is, Takao Ohkawa just invited him to Horita Yoshitoki’s personal exhibition hall.

‘If it was Horita Yoshitoki who invited me, I could understand it. ’

‘He may want me to provide him with an alibi. ’

‘Or if you think about it in an extreme way, he may even want to put the blame on me for his murder. ’

‘But in this case, Takao Ohkawa is clearly the "victim". ’

‘What is the purpose of him inviting me to the Yoshitoki Horita exhibition hall? ’

Just when Akikawa Sosuke was unable to make an accurate judgment because of the lack of known information,

he heard Ran Maori whispering to Suzuki Sonoko again:

“Sonoko, why don’t we go over and take a look. I’m worried that Conan will be in danger.”

“But isn’t Sera there too?”

“But Sera is only one person after all, and I’m not sure she can completely protect Conan.”

“That’s true, it’s time for the great detective Suzuki Sonoko to appear.”

Suzuki Sonoko was persuaded by Ran Maori, and then stood up with Ran Maori.

She looked at Akikawa Sosuke.

“Mr. Akikawa, Xiaolan and I will go out for a while, you and Miss Itakura will stay here.”

After Suzuki Sonoko said that, she and Ran Maori walked quickly towards the place where Masumi Sera and Conan had just left.

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Itakura Misaki on the side.

"I'll go to the bathroom and be back in a while."

Itakura Misaki, who was sitting on the other side of Akigawa Sosuke, did not hear Ran Mouri whispering to Suzuki Sonoko, and nodded slightly without doubt.

Akigawa Sosuke followed Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko from a distance.

They came to the personal lounge inside the exhibition hall, which was specially prepared for directors and screenwriters.

Here, Akigawa Sosuke saw several film exhibition staff and security personnel surrounding the personal lounge.

In Sogabe Ryo's lounge, Conan and Sera Masumi were seen checking Sogabe Ryo's body lying on the ground.

'That Sera Masumi is fine, why can Conan, a primary school student, enter the crime scene openly? '

Akigawa Sosuke was puzzled in his heart, and then he moved a little closer to Sogabe Ryo's lounge.

Then he saw clearly that there were two very obvious holes on Sogabe Ryo's forehead and his arm.

'Gunshot wound? ! ’

After seeing this scene clearly, Akikawa Sosuke was extremely shocked.

He thought that Sogabe Ryo's death should be the same as yesterday, due to breathing problems.

However, he did not expect that his death was completely different from yesterday, and it was a more direct gunshot wound.

‘The wound on Sogabe's forehead is not very clear, but I guess it should be a blind tube wound. ’

‘And the wound on the arm is a penetrating wound, and the wound on the arm has a living reaction. ’

The so-called blind tube wound, in simple terms, is the injury where the bullet remains in the body.

And the penetrating wound is the injury where the bullet penetrates the body and then shoots out of the body.

‘In other words, when the murderer committed the crime, he first hit Sogabe Ryo's arm, and then shot him in the forehead. ’

Akikawa Sosuke is very familiar with gunshot wounds, so he only needs to see the source of Sogabe Ryo's wound and the cause of death.

He began to observe the blood on Sogabe Ryo's forehead and arm.

It was found that the color of the blood was no longer bright red or dark red, but gradually approached dark red.

However, the room temperature will also affect the change of blood color.

Now Akikawa Sosuke was just looking from a distance and was not able to get close to Sogabe's personal lounge, so there was no way to judge the specific temperature in the room.

'Sogabe Ryo's movie will be shown for 70 minutes, and there will be 15 minutes for the audience to leave and the staff to clean up after the show. '

'Sogabe Ryo needs to give a speech on stage before the movie starts, which means he was still alive before the last movie was shown. '

'In this way, plus the time we waited before the movie started, his death time would not exceed 100 minutes at most. '

‘So the environment in the room must not be a “low temperature environment” below 10°C, because 100 minutes is not enough for blood in a low temperature environment to turn to this level of dark red. ’

'The handsome detective is in good condition, but there is sweat on the Shinigami elementary school student's neck and forehead, so the indoor environment is most likely a "high temperature environment" above 30 degrees Celsius. ’

‘Then if we consider the “high temperature environment” above 30℃, the time when Ryo Sogabe was killed should be less than an hour. ’

Akikawa Kosuke also made a rough judgment on the indoor temperature of Sogabe Ryo's personal lounge and the time when he was killed.

Although there must be a lot of people entering and exiting the exhibition hall during this period.

This little bit of information alone cannot identify the murderer.

But Ryo Sogabe's death made Akikawa Kosuke instantly clear up the confusion in his mind.

Why was Ryo Sogabe's death situation different from Tsunekazu Kosaka's yesterday?

Why did Takao Ohga, who was clearly the "victim", invite himself to Hota Yoshitoki's exhibition hall at one o'clock?

The reason is——

Although Tsunekazu Kosaka and Ryo Sogabe have something in common,

But the murderers of the two men were completely different people.

There is no way to confirm whether the person who killed the former is Hota Yoshitoki.

But the murderer of the latter is already very clear.

The murderer changed the temperature in the room just to make the police and detectives misjudge the time of death of the deceased.

Considering that the indoor temperature is always maintained at 20-25℃,

It takes at least 60 minutes for the blood to turn from bright red to dark red.

At that time, Akikawa Kyusuke and Itakura Misaki were still watching movies in Oda Ema's screening room.

The same is true for Death God Xiaosheng and others.

In addition, there is another character who also has an alibi and is related to Ryo Sogabe.

——Takao Ohga, a plastic surgeon who graduated from Tokyo University School of Medicine.
