In Conan, people have a brain option system

Akikawa Kyusuke's statement is undoubtedly contrary to the reasoning of Conan and Sera Masumi.

It also aroused the vigilance of the two detectives.

'If the murderer is really Takao Ohga, then there is no reason for him not to open the door to Akikawa. ’

‘Could it be that some accident happened that prevented Takao Ohga from opening the door for Akikawa? ’

Conan's thoughts were disturbed by Akikawa Kongsuke's words, and for a while he didn't understand the development of the matter.

Both detectives sensed something was wrong.

So I quickly entered the exhibition hall of Hota Yoshitoki.

Several detectives were standing in front of the closed door of Hotta Yoshitoki's personal lounge.

"I knocked on the door, but there was no response."

"And the room was locked from the inside. There should be someone inside."

"But we have been shouting for a long time, but we have not been able to get any response."

Megure Thirteen said to Sera Masumi and Conan.

Sera Masumi walked to the door and found that there was nothing wrong after checking the door.

“It’s actually locked.”

She also tried to open the door while wearing gloves.

It turned out that just as Akikawa Kousuke and Megure Jusan said, the door could not be opened.

"Something's wrong."

Sera Masumi whispered softly.

In order to prevent the clues from being destroyed, Masumi Sera did not choose to break the door violently.

Instead, they waited until the official staff of the film festival came over with the keys, and then police officers wearing sophisticated equipment stepped forward to unlock the door.

A group of criminal policemen who were searching the third series of criminals were holding their breath and getting ready.

Sera Masumi and Conan also hid aside to prevent possible gunfire.

finally.

The detective responsible for opening the door turned the key twice and unlocked the door.

A group of heavily armed detectives rushed in.

However, what they saw in front of them made many people very surprised.

——What they saw was a man lying on the ground.

The man was dying, as if he had exhausted all his strength and collapsed.

His cheeks were covered with traces of tears and snot, and there was a pool of vomit on the man's clothes and on the ground beside him.

Sera Masumi recognized at a glance that this was Takao Ohga who worked with him to provide first aid to Kosaka Tsunekazu last night.

It's just that his embarrassed appearance now is really far different from his appearance yesterday.

Megure Thirteen quickly sent the police to hold down Takao Ohga and search him.

However, no pistol was found on Takao Ohga.

After confirming that Takao Ohga was incapable of action, Megure Thirteen ordered the police to lower their guard. After calling an ambulance, they then sent people to search the room.

‘It’s not like intoxication, more like withdrawal symptoms. ’

Sera Masumi looked at Ohga Takao's appearance and made a judgment.

She thought to herself, then turned to look at Conan.

They saw Conan holding his fist to his mouth, staring at Takao Ohga on the ground, making a thinking gesture.

Then Conan raised his head, looked at Sera Masumi, and nodded towards her.

The two detectives made the same judgment——

What Takao Ohga was showing at this moment was withdrawal symptoms.

"Officer Megure!"

At this time, the voice of a police officer responsible for searching the room rang.

Everyone looked towards him and saw the police officer staring at the back of a cabinet in the room.

Mumu Shisan walked over and saw a pistol hidden behind the cabinet.

Mumu Shisan was shocked and quickly took the pistol to confirm.

Then he took out the bullet again, and after watching it repeatedly, he said in a deep voice:

"This is a 9mm caliber Sig Sauer P226. The bullet is the same as the bullet that killed Ryo Sogabe and Miho Souma. If nothing else, this should be the murder weapon."

Afterwards, Megure Thirteen handed the pistol to the Forensic Division policeman on the side to compare fingerprints.

The rifling must be sent to the laboratory for comparison, so there is no way to do it now.

During this period, Sera Masumi had been observing Okawa Takao's reaction.

But she found that Takao Ohga did not react in any way because he heard the police said that they had found a pistol.

‘Why are you acting so calm? Could it be that he is confident that no trace of himself will be found on the pistol? ’

Sera Masumi thought in her heart.

at the same time.

Another detective who searched the room made another discovery.

He found a cardboard box and a syringe in a glove box in the room.

There are also many ampoules containing liquid inside the carton.

Sera Masumi took a look over and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the label on the ampoule.

"Medical morphine and naloxone hydrochloride. Sure enough, my guess was correct. Kosaka Tsune and a few others were indeed abusing opioids."

Sera's pure words seemed to strike a bolt of lightning in Taiga Takao's mind.

The shock made him a little dizzy.

He was a little confused about the situation.

‘Obviously the autopsy report of Tsunekazu Kousaka has not been released yet, why did the former Kyusuke Akikawa and the current Masumi Sera appear? ’

‘Everyone guessed so accurately that Kosaka and the others were abusing morphine? ! ’

Ohga Takao didn't understand at all what made Sera Masumi aware of the clues.

He opened his mouth and tried to refute Sera Masumi's words.

But he found himself unable to refute.

Because once he spoke, it was equivalent to admitting that he knew about Kosaka Tsune and their morphine abuse.

"Then I don't understand."

"How did he become like this?"

Megure Thirteen made a confused sound. He looked at Takao Ohga lying on the ground like a corpse, and felt puzzled in his heart.

According to Sera Masumi's previous reasoning, this Okawa Takao should be the murderer.

But as a murderer, why does he look like he was killed now?

"There must have been an accident."

Sera Masumi said.

"Before we opened the door, the room was always in a 'locked' or 'secret room' state."

"In this case, unless the staff of the film exhibition who has the key committed the crime, it can only be Takao Ohga himself who caused the current situation."

‘! ! ! ’

After hearing this, Takao Ohga suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness coming to his head.

Under the circumstances at that time, besides locking the door, did he have any other choice?

I was deprived of almost all my mobility due to morphine and naloxone.

If I hadn't locked the door at that time,

Once someone discovers his condition, the medicines and pistols left in the room will immediately reveal the fact that he is the murderer.

not to mention.

At that time, Akikawa Kongsuke also said "see you later", which meant that he would soon return to Hotta Yoshitoki's personal lounge.

And the only thing that can separate myself from the devil who seems to have the ability to see through people's hearts is this small door.

But Takao Ohga didn't expect that.

He failed to wait for the devil to come back, but because of his own behavior of locking the door, he distorted the detectives' direction of solving the case.

'But it doesn't matter. There is no fingerprint of mine on either the pistol or the pill box. As long as I kill him and refuse to admit it, they shouldn't be able to do anything to me. ’

Taiga Takao thought in his heart.
