Conan's Unscientific Detective

"Fujino-kun, have you figured out something?"

After questioning Hirotani Yayoi, seeing that Fujino's face was full of worries, Sato Miwako followed and asked.

“I saw something.”

Fujino took a deep breath and said, "If I'm not mistaken, then that Gushou Daishi is very likely to know about Miss Araki's past and is blackmailing her by threatening marriage."

"Blackmail?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Sato Miwako's face.

After a moment, she suddenly realized: "If this is the case, then the murderer is most likely that guy Gu Shou Dazhi!"

"Based on the current evidence, this is indeed the case, if we can find the passbook and prove that the money was given to Gu Shou Dazhi."

Soon, the people from the forensic department found Mako Araki's passbook in the room.

Just as Fujino expected.

The passbook is filled with withdrawal and deposit records.

There are also several records of large withdrawals.

The last large withdrawal record was just yesterday.

Two hours later, Takagi, the detective who helped solve the case, found Furumori Daishi.

"Mr. Gu Shou, you should have been a guest in this villa last night."

After Furumori Taishi was taken to the bedroom where the crime occurred, Sato Miwako asked, "And the room where Miss Araki entertained you is this bedroom."

"I did come to this villa at around nine o'clock last night..."

Gu Shou Dazhi responded, "But we were talking in the living room at the time."

"living room?"

Miwako Sato frowned slightly, "Can you raise your arm?"

"Raise your arms?"

Gu Shoudazhi, with a puzzled look on his face, slowly raised his arm.

What appeared before everyone were grey cufflinks, exactly the same as the ones Fujino had discovered.

Moreover, there was a button on the right cuff that had disappeared.

"Wonderful, where are my cufflinks?"

Gu Shou Dazhi was puzzled when he found that his cufflinks had disappeared.

"Mr. Gu Shou, can you explain why your cufflinks appeared at the crime scene in this bedroom?"

Seeing this, Sato Miwako's expression gradually became serious.

As she spoke, she pulled out the evidence bag containing the gray button found at the crime scene.

"How would I know such a thing?"

Gu Shoudazhi seemed a little flustered.

"Mr. Gu Shou, you must have blackmailed Miss Araki, right?"

Miwako Sato took out the passbook and opened the most recent withdrawal record: "Just yesterday, Miss Araki withdrew 500,000 yen from the bank, but we didn't find it on her or in the villa."

"No wonder Mako has been asking me to borrow money so often recently, and she always sits on the sofa in the living room with her passbook, looking sad..."

Hirotani Yayoi echoed, her words full of anger: "So it was you, the beast, who had been blackmailing her!"

"In fact, Miss Araki did not commit suicide, but was murdered."

Sato Miwako turned her gaze towards Furumori Daishi and reasoned, "Last night, you came to Miss Araki's villa, intending to continue blackmailing her, but she didn't want to be blackmailed anymore, so she pulled out a gun and tried to threaten you to stop threatening her, but during the fight, the gun accidentally went off..."

After a pause, Sato Miwako continued to reason: "After Miss Araki died, you panicked and wiped off the fingerprints on the gun, locked the windows and doors, took away the 500,000 yen, and faked the scene of Miss Araki committing suicide in the bedroom."

"not like this!"

Gu Shou Dazhi said in panic: "Although I did blackmail her, how could I do something like killing someone!"

“But that’s what the evidence points to.”

Miwako Sato said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gu Shou, could you please come back to the police station with us for investigation?"

"Something's wrong."

On the side, Fujino, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was thinking secretly in his heart.

Now all the evidence points to that guy Gu Shou Dazhi.

Miwako Sato's reasoning is also very reasonable.

But why did he always feel that something was wrong?

As he pondered, Fujino activated the active enhancement skill of his detective intuition.

[Detective intuition has been activated, strengthening the host's reasoning ability by 100%]

[The advanced reasoning ability enhancement card has been used, enhancing the host's reasoning ability by 200%]

With the help of a 300+% increase in reasoning ability, the evidence currently in the case is gradually connected together, and the truth of the matter is gradually becoming clear...

In an instant, Fujino's expression gradually darkened when he learned the truth of the matter.

"Wait a moment!"

Fujino, who had learned the truth, suddenly shouted, "The murderer is not actually Furumori Daishi."

"If it's not Gu Shou, then who else could it be?"

Hearing this, Sato Miwako turned to look at Fujino, looking a little confused.

"Haven't you noticed? The smell in this room."

“What does this room smell like?”

Sato Miwako sniffed and said, "There's no strange smell."

"now it's right."

Fujino walked slowly to the ashtray, "If Miss Araki really entertained Mr. Gushou in this room last night, it stands to reason that there should be a strong smell of cigarettes in this room."

"But there is no smell in this room now. It is obvious that Miss Xinmu did not receive guests here at that time, and that button naturally could not be left under the sofa in this room."

Miwako Sato asked, "But since Miss Araki didn't entertain Mr. Komori here, why is the ashtray here?"

"Maybe someone brought the ashtray here after discovering that Miss Araki had committed suicide."

Fujino nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "So this case is not a homicide disguised as a suicide, but a suicide disguised as a homicide."

"Suicide disguised as homicide?"

Sato Miwako was obviously confused by Fujino's reasoning.

"Ms. Honggu's words are half true and half false. The loan is true."

Fujino walked slowly towards the desk. "But she lied about Miss Araki being left-handed."

"Ms. Araki is left-handed?"

There was a hint of surprise on Sato Miwako's face.

"Yes, the pen next to the desk at the crime scene and the watch on her right wrist can prove this."

Fujino turned around and cast his gaze towards Hirotani Yayoi: "Ms. Hirotani, as an old friend, you should know this, but when I asked you, you hesitated and lied against your will that Miss Araki's dominant hand is her right hand."

"How would I know this?"

Hirotani Yayoi bit her red lips lightly, "Maki's dominant hand is her right hand!"

Fujino calmly picked up the notebook on the desk and showed it to everyone present: "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Araki did leave a suicide note, but that note was torn up by someone."

"If he is left-handed, then the muzzle on the left temple is easy to explain."

Fujino put the notebook back in place, then slowly walked to the body of Shinki Mako, "But the gun was in her right hand. Obviously, someone moved the gun after she committed suicide in an attempt to create the illusion of homicide."

As he spoke, Fujino squatted down with his back to the crowd and gently stroked the Lotus Medal.

[Soul power has been absorbed, current soul lotus level: Level 1 (50|100)]

After doing all this, Fujino slowly stood up and looked into Hirotani Yayoi's eyes: "Ms. Hirotani, if my reasoning is correct, this morning, after you found Miss Araki's body, you first tore off the suicide note on the desk, and then went to the living room on the first floor and brought the ashtray used by Miss Araki and Mr. Gushou last night to the second floor."

"The purpose of doing this is to create the illusion that the two people had talked here."

"Perhaps it was because of luck that you happened to find the button that Mr. Gu Shou left in the living room while taking the ashtray away. Then you took the button to Miss Araki's bedroom on the second floor, making the illusion that someone was talking to Miss Araki on the sofa in the bedroom more real."

"After doing all this, you locked the doors and windows, took the key, and called the police."

"I'm right, Ms. Honggu, the only one who can do this is you, as the first discoverer."

"........."

The atmosphere at the crime scene gradually became dead silent.

Following Fujino's reasoning, everyone's eyes turned to Hirotani Yayoi.

After a moment, under the gaze of everyone, Hirotani Yayoi took a deep breath and chuckled, "Just as Detective Fujino said, I was the one who faked Mako's suicide scene."

"I just came back from the training camp and found Mako had committed suicide when I returned to the villa. As usual, she left me a letter, which explained in detail why she committed suicide..."

As she said this, she looked at Gu Shou Dazhi fiercely, "It's all because that bastard Gu Shou caught her!"

"This bastard used Xinmu's past to threaten her and squeezed her dry step by step. Just last night, she realized that this was not a solution and chose to commit suicide!"

At this point, tears began to fall from the corners of Hirotani Yayoi's eyes: "I want that abominable guy to pay the price!"

Fujino looked at Hirotani Yayoi in silence, and just when he was about to speak, he shook his head.

Chapter 121 It feels like I picked up a babysitter

After solving the strange murder case, Fujino rode his beloved motorcycle back to his home in Go-chome.

After parking the motorcycle in the parking space in the underground garage, he also glanced at the Ford Taurus parked next to the motorcycle.

He looked away, but before he could take two steps, the system's prompt sounded as expected:

[Congratulations to the host for completing: Strange suicide case]

[System task reward: 1 million yen, 100 detective reputation points, and 1 full-class point have been issued]

Hearing the system prompt sound coming from his ear, Fujino Nobuyuki moved slightly and opened the system interface.

[Current balance: 520 million yen]

"520?"

Looking at the system balance, Fujino murmured with a strange look on his face.

Bedrooms on the fourth floor.

"You're back."

Akemi Miyano was holding a big black garbage bag and greeted Fujino.

"Well...I'm back."

Fujino was stunned for a moment and responded.

Such a scene should be very common in Japanese homes.

However, since the original owner's parents passed away a year ago, he has never heard such warm words after returning home alone...

When Leng Ding heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After coming to his senses, Fujino noticed the garbage bag in Miyano Akemi's hand.

After taking a look at the clean and tidy bedroom, he asked in confusion: "My bedroom, was it you, Sister Mingmei, who cleaned it for me?"

"Ah."

Miyano Akemi wiped the sweat from her temples and said, "Fujino-kun, your room is really too messy, so I cleaned it up a little."

"Thank you so much, Sister Mingmei."

As the owner of this bedroom of more than 100 square meters, Fujino naturally knows the importance of tidying up a bit.
