Originally, two best friends, Kiko and Fei Yingli, who had not seen each other for a long time, were still chatting about the "Miss Teidan" competition held by their alma mater, Teidan High School.
The two people ended up in a tie that year, and had to stop due to one less vote, which became a regret in their hearts.
However, Xiaolan accidentally found the ballot in Mouri Kogoro's pocket, but unfortunately it had been washed and wrinkled and the content could not be seen.
Just when the two of them were suspicious of Xiao Ranmei's telling the truth and were "interrogated" one after another, the housekeeper who had been watching the screen suddenly saw Mikio Tengeda standing up and raising his hands on the surveillance screen.
This scene naturally attracted everyone's attention, but before a few people could take action, Mikio Tengeda fell to the ground.
When several people rushed downstairs, two gunshots were heard from the locked door again.
Faced with this emergency, Xiaolan kicked the door open, but it was already too late.
Mikio Tengzhi had fallen to the ground and made no sound at all.
"The sound of gunshots."
Karasawa looked at the COLTCOMIPACT 45 automatic pistol found outside the broken window, and a blackened towel next to it.
After confirming through the cameras all over the house that the prisoner had not escaped from the house, he lost all interest in thinking about the case.
Spoilers + super sense of smell, is there anything else worth thinking about in this case?
Without hesitation, Tangze summoned everyone in the room.
Whatever techniques you need to solve the case, they are all measures of last resort!
Now that we know that the prisoner still carries decisive evidence, and that this evidence can solve the case logically without looking for reasons, we can just go ahead and get it done.
Soon, everyone in the room was summoned.
Except for the maids who were all dressed in maid uniforms, the only ones left were the housekeeper, the gardener, Mrs. Tengji, and Tengji Shige, the brother of Tengji Mikio's ex-wife.
"Speaking of which, is it really reliable for Tangze Criminal to summon everyone to find the prisoner based on smell?"
Yukiko, who saw Karasawa in this situation for the first time, hugged Conan and whispered: "It feels a little unreliable..."
"Heh... do you think I'm going to do anything?" Conan's mouth twitched, and his expression began to change as he looked at Tang Ze who was confirming the taste one by one.
"That's true..." Kudo Yukiko suddenly said: "If it were normal, you would have been running around at the crime scene..."
"That's because I don't want to waste my efforts..."
Conan looked confused, but still followed the instructions and left, gradually checking the smaller and smaller crowd. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Because when the prisoner chose to use a gun, his ending was already determined."
As if to confirm Conan's words, Karasawa stood in front of the housekeeper Ueki Sohachi, looked at the kind-faced old man in front of him and said calmly: "You are the prisoner, Ueki the housekeeper."
"!!!"
Karasawa's words seemed to attract everyone's attention in an instant, and everyone looked at Butler Ueki with a look of horror on his face.
"Stop, stop joking...Mr. Criminal..."
Butler Ueki raised his hands in front of his chest and said at a loss: "I, how could I... you can't frame me like this just because you walked around next to us!"
On the surface, when Karasawa called all of them over, he just asked them to line up in a line and then walked past them one by one.
Such hasty actions naturally fail to convince the public and may even seem a bit ridiculous to outsiders.
"Is it a frame-up?" Facing Butler Ueki's question, Tang Ze smiled and said, "I didn't frame you up. After all, I called everyone over and screened them carefully."
Without waiting for the other party to react, Karasawa knelt down and lifted Butler Ueki's right foot, revealing the muffler inside.
"Although you hid the muffler in your sock, the smell of gunpowder smoke still cannot escape my nose."
Wearing gloves, Karasawa carefully removed the muffler, "Your legs are burned. What made you, an old man like you, make such a rebellious choice as killing the master who has served you for many years?"
"..."
After hearing Karasawa's words, the gray-haired housekeeper Ueki was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Because the person I serve is not Mr. Tengzhi, but Mrs. Tengzhi.
In order to protect my wife’s garden, this little injury doesn’t matter.”
"The courtyard?" Karasawa turned to look out the window, "That should be her cherished place."
"Yes, my wife's favorite thing is the courtyard at home..."
Housekeeper Ueki looked out the dark window, but seemed to see the most beautiful scene in his memory: "That yard is like a wife, just being in it makes people feel at ease.
To me, losing that courtyard is like losing my life, and after my wife died, both the courtyard and the mansion fell into the hands of that ruthless man. This is something I find intolerable..."
Under the irrefutable evidence, Butler Ueki knew that the outcome was already doomed, but there was no unwillingness in his eyes, only relief.
Under interrogation, Butler Ueki cooperated and told everything.
First of all, he took advantage of Mikio Tengeda's habit. He usually sits in the music room for an hour or two. After getting up, he habitually stretches his body.
And his coma was not accidental, but Butler Ueki added a drug called isoprenaline to the tea, thus inducing the deceased to coma.
If you stand up suddenly after sitting for a long time, it will put a huge burden on the cardiovascular system, causing the pulse and blood pressure to suddenly drop, and in severe cases, you may even become comatose.
These symptoms are very common for older people. Even if they are not in a coma, they still often feel dizzy when they stand up suddenly.
The deceased was also relatively old. If he stretched out and fell into a coma after taking this drug, it would naturally be considered that the deceased raised his hands after being threatened.
And in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, and to make everyone think that the deceased raised his hands only when he was threatened, he also said "Master, raise your hands" when the deceased stood up and stretched.
This sentence, combined with the coma that followed, gave everyone the idea of being trapped in the main body and misled them into thinking that the deceased had really been shot and fell down.
But in fact, the deceased at this time was not dead yet, but just passed out.
The locked room also helped him. People who wanted to enter the house would naturally yell at him as the housekeeper to get the key.
But all this was within his expectation. He had already prepared the key with him in advance. If no one was around, he would take the initiative to get the key.
Taking advantage of the time saved by getting the keys, he went around outside the courtyard and shot the deceased three times.
This is the whole story of the case.
