"My dad did have some mental problems," Hiroto Akashi looked at the old man's body and said, "He said some strange things during dinner, so I chatted with him for a long time before leaving."
"Really?"
"Yeah, he said he might as well just die, but I didn't expect it would actually turn out like this."
The night was dark, and the rain kept washing away the forest and the only old house in the forest.
As the bell rang, the time unknowingly reached 1 o'clock in the morning. Everyone waiting in the living room gradually yawned, but the investigation was still not over.
Kogoro Mouri acted as a temporary forensic doctor to help examine the body, and Conan followed him like a follower. He wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.
"Are you dumb? I tell you that you like to talk a lot."
Chi Chufeng shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I just lost my voice temporarily. I'll just wait until I go to the hospital tomorrow."
Conan looked anxious: "Ahh..."
"Don't worry, I won't let this suicide case be closed. I also know who the murderer is."
Chi Chufeng looked directly at Akashi Yanfu's bleeding gums.
"Such a great opportunity for reasoning, but it's a pity that you lost your voice."
Chi Chufeng shrugged.
Conan scratched his throat and looked helpless.
"There is still one most crucial thing missing." Chi Chufeng ignored Conan and looked around the room intently, "It should be in this room."
Chi Chufeng used prediction magic.
In the living room on the first floor, Yamamura Cao found the tired people and asked sheepishly: "Everyone has worked hard. Do you remember anything? For example, there are suspicious people around, or you hear strange sounds."
"This is..."
"Speaking of which," Xiaolan recalled in Yamamura Cao's expectant eyes, "when I went upstairs for the first time, I heard a whimpering sound coming from the old man's room, as if he was crying. "
"Cry, cry?"
"You must have been crying when you decided to commit suicide," Uncle Maori said listlessly, holding his chin.
"In short, it is obvious that this incident happened. Mr. Yanfu who was in the bedroom on the second floor was hanged at around 09:30 in the evening. At that time, Xiaolan, Conan, Yuanzi, Kuanren, and Chi Chusang were all here. There is an alibi in the living room.”
"And I had no motive for committing the crime at the bathing place. I didn't even know where the rope was. And Xiaolan went to check twice. The first time the lights were on, but the second time they were turned off."
"No matter how you look at this, it is a suicide. I can only think that Mr. Yan Fu turned off the light in the bedroom and then hanged himself. Therefore, it is better to end the search and go back quickly."
Chapter 587 A tooth in curry
"It's murder."
Chi Chufeng led Conan to open the paper door of the living room and interrupted everyone's conversation.
"Mr. Yanfu was murdered."
"What?" Uncle Maoli looked back at Chi Chufeng, "How could it be murder?!"
"Actually, I should have thought of it since I met Mr. Hiroto during the day."
Chi Chufeng looked at Hiroto Akashi who was sitting upright, "Mr. Hiroto went to the tennis court not entirely because he missed his late wife, but because he planned to invite people to his home from the beginning, right?"
"I want to invite students..."
"To be precise, it's to ask someone to help you prove your alibi."
Chi Chufeng affirmed: "Originally, I was supposed to be looking for students who were not at the tennis court because it was raining, so they wanted to come over to me. After I refused, they unexpectedly waited until Conan fell into the water. The evidence was the extremely large portion of curry rice. There were only two of them at home. How can a person make enough rice in advance to feed seven or eight people?"
"I usually make a larger amount of curry," Akashi said with a stiff face and a smile.
"Because I often entertain students with whom I have good relationships for dinner, but it happened to rain today and no one came to the tennis court."
"Is that so?" Chi Chufeng stared at Akashi Kanito and said, "I just want to ask you, you said Mr. Yanfu went to the dentist a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, yes."
"You can't eat spicy food after tooth extraction. As a health coach for athletes, how can you prepare spicy curry for your father?"
"That's right, but I didn't know that dad had the tooth pulled out,"
Akashi Kanto sweated and said, "Besides, my father requested the spicy curry himself. Do you suspect that I killed my father? How could I..."
"The police just found a tooth in that plate of leftover curry."
Chi Chufeng continued to look directly at Akashi Kanto and said, "And we have also checked Mr. Yanfu's mouth. If it was extracted a few days ago, the wound at the root of the tooth will shrink to a certain extent, and the blood at the wound should also solidify. .
"But the actual situation is not like this. Even the teeth next to them are loose and uneven. In other words, Mr. Yanfu lost his teeth after eating curry. To be precise, he bit the rope with all his strength and finally the teeth fell out. .”
"Rope?" Shancun Cao was stunned.
"That's right, Mr. Yanfu was actually hung from the beam with the rope in his mouth. When he ran out of strength and couldn't hold the rope anymore, he was officially strangled by the neck and hung. At that time, his teeth also fell off and fell into the curry. in."
Chi Chufeng nodded and said, "The cry Xiaolan heard was not his cry, but a cry for help. She just couldn't scream because she was biting the rope."
Xiaolan's face turned pale: "How could this happen?"
"But," Yamamura took out his notepad and said, "Mr. Yanfu did not leave any traces of the rope in his mouth!"
"This is because of the handkerchief. The murderer wrapped the rope with the handkerchief before Mr. Yanfu bit it."
"Hmph," Uncle Maoli frowned, "If that's the case, why didn't he hold the rope with both hands and call for help? Moreover, the lights were turned off when Xiaolan went there for the second time. Who was there during that time? I haven’t even been to the bedroom.”
"Aren't there traces of tying on Mr. Yanfu's wrists? What if it's not a rubber band, but a chandelier pull cord?"
Chi Chufeng walked to the chandelier in the living room.
"Tie Mr. Yan Fu's wrists with the chandelier rope, tie a slip knot, and then connect this rope to the chandelier in the bedroom on the second floor. In this way, when Mr. Yan Fu falls to the ground with all his strength, the pull rope will The rope will simultaneously turn off the chandelier and the slipknot will be ripped apart."
"If you need evidence, there is one," Chi Chufeng raised the "Introduction to Fishing" in his hand.
"I have already seen that the chandelier cables in almost all rooms in this house are tied with fishing wire knots. Mr. Kanto's wife probably bought this book to learn this knotting method. Because it is easy to fall off if you knot the drawstring using ordinary methods.”
"However, the knot in one bedroom is not a fishing line knot, but a simple dead knot. Yes, it is the bedroom of Mr. Yanfu where the light cord is short."
Chi Chufeng looked at Akashi Hiroto who was silent: "I'm afraid it was because I couldn't untie the knot of the fishing line, so I cut it with scissors. After all, if I didn't cut it, I couldn't use it to tie Mr. Yan's hands. As for the last time he took it back, I tied it in a tight knot because the person who made the knot doesn’t know how to fish, right?”
Uncle Mouri froze and stared at Hiroto Akashi who was silent: "Is this really the case, Mr. Hiroto? That's why you asked Xiaolan to collect the tableware and specifically said you'd be back when the lights are on?! "
Chi Chufeng put "Introduction to Fishing" in front of Akashi Hiroto: "What are you going to do if we don't come over just in time?".
Chapter 588 Xiaolan and Yuanzi wearing miniskirts
Akashi Kanto stared blankly at the book in front of him, and touched the cover with trembling fingers.
"Even if you don't come, I plan to end my father's life today, because today is the anniversary of my wife's death. Three years ago today, my wife fell in the forest here and died in a flash flood."
"It was a rainy day when I was driving to Tokyo for work. My father suddenly woke her up at the resting place because she had a cold and said that he wanted to eat matsutake rice."
"Obviously it's okay to refuse, but my wife insisted on going to the supermarket three kilometers away and collapsed on the road on the way back."
Akashi Hiroto choked up and picked up "Introduction to Fishing".
"On the second day after my wife's funeral, I accidentally heard my father talking to himself in front of the Buddhist altar: 'Damn it, that one is finally broken. Next time I want a place that will last longer, just like Kuan. A toy as solid as a man.'"
"Before this, I always believed in him. Even if he made so many arbitrary demands on me, he always treated me as his own son."
Yamamura Cao said blankly: "Are you not his biological son?"
847
"Yes, I am an adopted son."
Akashi Hiroto looked up at the chandelier.
"Building a house in such a deep mountain and living in such a place with my wife and me is also what he requested. He said he wanted to live away from the world."
"Even the chandelier switch cord is the same. He suddenly extended the light cord in his room and then said that it should be the same in other rooms."
"Actually, the light rope in that bedroom was originally connected to the ground by my father with a messy knotting method. If my wife had tied it with a fishing line, I... I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to cut it, and maybe I wouldn't have killed someone. ."
"maybe."
Chi Chufeng silently glanced at Akashi Hiroto, who was in a daze, and then turned to the body of the old man who was carried down from upstairs.
Another human tragedy.
After dawn, the heavy rain finally stopped. After Akashi Hiroto was taken away by the police, Mouri Kogoro and Conan also left the old house in the mountains on the mountain village tractor.
"It's great," Yamamura Cao said thankfully, "I finally don't have a camera for nothing. It's great to be able to capture Master Chichu's reasoning. I want to keep it as a family heirloom..."
"Hmph," Uncle Maori sat in the passenger seat with a stinking face, "What a nasty case."
"By the way, where did Brother Chichu and Sister Xiaolan go?"
Conan's voice has improved a lot and he can speak, although he is still a little hoarse.
"They said they were going to play tennis. How could they possibly play tennis in such heavy rain?" Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully.
The tennis court was actually very dry.
The huge foggy dog covered the sky, covering the entire stadium and sucking up all the rainwater.
Even the ground was baked dry by the fire element Asai Narumi.
Xiaolan and Yuanzi were wearing miniskirts and running back and forth on the field.
Every time he ran, the panties underneath would be exposed.
Every swing of the racket brings a vibration.
Chi Chufeng sat next to him with a smile on his face.
The beautiful young girl playing tennis is so beautiful.
Especially after playing tennis, you are so sweaty that you need to soak in the hot springs.
Chi Chufeng waited silently.
Time in the world of Conan is both fast and slow. Fast means that the days pass quickly, but slow means that no matter how fast the days pass, they can never skip a year.
However, after being here for so long, Chi Chufeng has almost become accustomed to it. This world has its own set of rules for operating, which are absurd yet realistic.
Generally speaking, it is a realistic mystery anime world with almost no supernatural powers, but it does have many surreal abilities.
Criminals and detectives with astonishing IQs, fantastic and incredible magic, extraordinary superhuman skills...
Of course, Chi Chufeng can also be regarded as a member of the super-real ability, and he is almost the most powerful one.
But in the final analysis, it is still a world of detectives, where cases are the mainstream, and Chi Chufeng is inevitably involved in various cases.
"Dong dong!"
A middle-aged man in a suit wearing sunglasses and thick medium-long hair suddenly appeared at the door. He looked at Chi Chufeng, knocked on the door gently and said, "Is this Master Chi Chu?"
Chi Chufeng nodded, "I am."
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and walked into the office politely: "Hello, Lord Chichu, I am Mr. Gozo Isekawa's secretary."
"Oh, please sit down."
Chi Chufeng took the business card from the middle-aged man.
He had also heard a little bit about Isekawa Gozo. After all, he usually came into contact with some elites from the upper class.
It is said that he is a stock investor who has accumulated a huge fortune by buying and selling stocks. He seems to have many connections in the underworld.
"Mr. Isekawa, do you want to entrust me with anything?" Chi Chufeng asked, putting down his business card.
"Actually, the master was seriously ill and passed away in the winter. I personally want to trouble you."
The middle-aged man didn't seem to have any intention of taking off his sunglasses. He took out a piece of information from his handbag and said, "I would like to entrust you to find the master's great-granddaughter, Ms. Yuriko Matsunaka, who has been missing for many years."
Thanks to Starlight 399 for your monthly pass.
Chapter 589 The Cute Little Lolita
Chi Chufeng took the information and looked at it: "May I know what your purpose is in finding the great-granddaughter of Isekawa Gosanchi?"
"This," the middle-aged man looked at Chi Chufeng through his sunglasses, "When you find the lady, you will naturally know that this is also the master's last wish."
"is it?"
Chi Chufeng silently checked the information.
