Conan's Unscientific Detective

Page 91

Fujino frowned when he heard that.

He didn't remember any case of suicide with a gun in Beika-cho 3-chome in the original book...

"A new detective professional mission has been detected, please check it out!"

At this moment, the system prompt sounded suddenly, and a light screen related to the task suddenly appeared in front of Fujino:

[Detective professional mission: strange suicide case

Mission objective: Solve the strange suicide case

Mission Reward: 500,000 yen, 100 detective reputation points, additional career points for all professions]

"Since Inspector Megure has found me, I'll go over and take a look."

Fujino paused, then accepted the system task, "By the way, can you tell me the specific address of the scene?"

"It's in Beika-cho 3-chome..."

After writing down the address of the crime scene, Fujino hung up the phone.

Unlike previous times, this time the system task did not leave any impression in his memory.

This should be a case outside the original plot...

This is true.

After all, there are many cases in the world of science, and not all cases are solved by Uncle Mouri and Conan.

"It seems that I have to solve the case by myself this time?"

Fujino shook his head and sat up from the bed.

After taking out the reasoning ability enhancement card from his personal space, he took another look at the [Detective Intuition] professional skill: "Even if I don't know the plot of the case, I should be able to solve this case with my current level..."

Acting quickly, Fujino rode his motorcycle out of the underground garage and rushed to the crime scene.

Ten minutes later, Fujino parked his motorcycle in front of a villa in Beika-cho 3-chome.

At this time, there were three police cars parked scattered at the entrance of the villa, and there were three or two scattered onlookers around.

"You must be Detective Fujino, right?"

As soon as the motorcycle stopped, a young man in a gray suit, probably in his twenties, walked out from the cordon and greeted Fujino.

Fujino knew that person. He was Takagi Wataru, a good friend of the Mika Suicide Squad.

"You must be Officer Takagi, right?"

Fujino walked up and said hello, "I just heard Inspector Megure mention you on the phone."

"I've often heard Inspector Megure mention Detective Fujino."

Takagi Shigeru responded politely, then hurriedly led Fujino into the crime scene.

Chapter 118 A strange suicide case

"The deceased was named Shinki Mako, 28 years old, and lived in this villa with a woman named Hirotani Yayoi who was a photographer."

As Gao Mu spoke, he pushed open the door of the villa.

What caught my eye was a living room with exquisite decoration, simple style and black and white tone.

A little worse than the Suzuki family, but not much worse.

After all, in Fujino's eyes, there is no difference between the villas of these wealthy people.

Fujino looked around the luxurious living room, and then asked Takagi, "By the way, there has been a murder here before, right?"

"Detective Fujino, how did you know that?"

Gao Mu seemed a little surprised. "A murder did happen here a year ago. The victim died in the living room."

"My guess."

Fujino chuckled.

For a villa like this, even renting it would definitely cost a lot of money.

Logically speaking, since they are sharing a house, their financial situation must not be optimistic and it is impossible for them to rent such a villa.

But if a murder had ever occurred here, that would be a different matter.

"Ms. Hongtani, who shared an apartment with the victim, Ms. Araki, went to a photographers' camp two days ago and did not return until this morning."

Takagi led Fujino up the stairs to the second floor. "But when she came back in the morning, she found that Miss Araki's bedroom door was locked. After knocking on the door and asking questions without any results, she felt something was wrong and called the police."

"Ms. Honggu, did you call the police directly after you found the door was locked and shouted to no avail?"

Fujino interrupted.

"Is such that."

Gao Mu thought for a moment and continued, "After receiving the alarm, at about 9:15 in the morning, the nearby patrol officers came to the villa and broke open the bedroom door. They found the body of Miss Araki lying on the ground."

Hearing this, Fujino couldn't help but twitch his jaw.

Generally speaking, after discovering that the door is locked, the normal behavior should be that the owner of the bedroom has gone out.

But how on earth was Hirotani Yayoi able to determine that something happened to Araki Mako......

Just guessing?

Afterwards, the two came to the bedroom door where the crime scene occurred.

Wearing white gloves, Takagi pushed open the door.

What came into view was a bedroom that didn't look like a girl's bedroom.

As far as Fujino was concerned, the only thing that made her look like a girl was that her room was clean and odorless.

Mako Araki's bedroom is neither big nor small, about thirty or forty square meters.

Directly opposite the entrance to the bedroom, there are two brown leather single sofas. In front of the sofa is a small table serving as a coffee table. The entire coffee table is made of wood. On the glass table top, there is an ashtray placed alone.

The ashtray is made of glass, and inside it are scattered cigarette butts of two different brands.

He turned and looked towards the other side of the room.

What catches your eye is a window. At the end of the room to the left of the window, there is a large wooden gray bed. To the left of the bed when entering the room, there is a large wooden wardrobe that is nearly two meters long.

Directly opposite the big bed, at the end of the left side of the window, is a wooden desk.

The victim in this case was lying next to the chair in front of the desk.

In the small bedroom, besides the slightly crowded furniture, there are also many forensic police officers in blue uniforms who are hurriedly investigating the scene.

Among the many blue figures, a figure in an off-white suit was particularly eye-catching.

"Officer Sato!"

"Fujino-kun, you're here."

Hearing the familiar voice, Sato Miwako turned around and saw Fujino wearing a suit vest.

"So, the victim was shot to death?"

Fujino walked forward, took a look at the body lying on the ground, and then asked Sato Miwako about the victim's condition.

"Yes, after preliminary inference from the forensic class, it was indeed due to gunshot."

Miwako Sato replied: "But we still have to take it back to the police station for testing to confirm whether it was the bullet fired by that gun."

"Is that so?"

Fujino continued to ask: "I remember that Inspector Megure told me on the phone just now that this case was a little strange. What was so strange about it?"

"There was nothing wrong with the position of the body. It fell from the chair in front of the writing desk. The doors and windows were locked. Normally, this case could be closed as suicide...

But what is strange is that the muzzle of the gun on Ms. Xinmu's head is on the left side, but the hand holding the gun is the right hand, and there is no key to lock the door in her room. "

"key?"

Listening to Sato Miwako's description, Fujino was surprised and said, "Normally, shouldn't the door have a knob that can be locked from the inside?"

"Normally, this is the case, but this villa is a bit old, and the door doesn't have a device to lock from the inside. It can only be locked with a key..."

"So I think this case might be an armed robbery. After being discovered by Miss Xinmu, the murderer shot her in a panic, then disguised the crime scene to look like a suicide in a closed room and fled the scene in a hurry."

After a pause, Sato Miwako looked at Takagi Wataru and said, "But Takagi always feels that something is strange, so Inspector Megure asked Fujino-kun to come and take a look."

Takagi scratched the back of his head embarrassingly when he heard the words, showing a look of embarrassment, "I just feel that since a robber killed someone, it stands to reason that the murderer shouldn't let Miss Xinmu's obviously valuable watch go. .”

"That's why I said that the murderer set up the scene in a panic."

Sato Miwako let out a long sigh of relief. "Not only did they get the muzzle of the gun wrong, they even took the key to this room with them."

"But since he was shot, then the people around him should have heard something, right?"

At this time, Fujino, who had been listening, suddenly asked.

"The preliminary estimate of Ms. Araki's death time is around 11 o'clock last night."

Takagi Wataru replied: "I remember there was a fireworks show nearby at that time last night. The sound of the gunshots should have been covered by the sound of the fireworks..."

"A homicide disguised as a suicide?"

Hearing this, Fujino murmured and slowly walked towards the windowsill.

Is it really just a robbery case as Miwako Sato said?

But I always feel like something is wrong.

Since the system released a strange suicide case rather than a robbery and murder case, there must be something else fishy about this case.

Thinking about it, Fujino put on white gloves and walked to the windowsill.

After confirming that the window was locked from the inside, he turned around and looked at the desk in front of the chair where Shinki Mako had collapsed naturally.

In the middle of the desk is an unfolded leather notebook...

If you look closely, you can see traces of pages being torn at the seams.

And in the pen holder on the left side of the notebook, there is a fountain pen that looks quite high-end.

Retracting his gaze, Fujino slowly walked towards the corpse, bent down slightly, and began to look at the body of Mako Araki.

Mako Araki was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and white casual pants. Her age was exactly the same as Takagi said. Judging from her appearance, she was probably between 20 and 30 years old. She was not too stunning, but she had a mature beauty.

However, the blood-red flower blooming on her left temple broke this sense of beauty...

Chapter 119 Two Suspects

To her left hand, there was a silver-white pistol.

On her right wrist, she wore a watch that looked very expensive.

This is probably what Takagi meant by weird.

Just as Gao Mu wondered.

If it was a house robbery, the robber would not have let go of this watch.

'left handed?'

Looking at the watch on Mako Shinki's right wrist, Fujino suddenly remembered something.

The watch is worn on the right hand, and the pen holder on the desk is also placed on the left side.

These are all characteristics of left-handed people.
