Chapter 72 Clean Feet

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"In addition to the master's works on the shelf, there are also our training works, which are not valuable." Arita Yoshihiko heard this and explained.

"But this warehouse is really clean." Officer Memu touched the cabinet and found that there was not a trace of dust on his fingers.

"Ah, this is because we just came for cleaning not long ago." Otani Xun said.

"Then, the key issue is still this..." Tang Ze pointed to the long and slender wound on the calf of the corpse.

Officer Memu nodded, looked at the blood stains on the surrounding debris and said, "And there was a lot of blood spilled nearby. It doesn't look very natural no matter how you look at it."

"You are overthinking it. Most likely it was caused by the failure to hang herself the first time and accidentally falling on the floor. As a result, her foot was cut by the fragments of a broken pottery pot on the floor, and then she tried again.

"

Mouri Kogoro looked at the mess on the ground and began to reason wrongly, "Don't we often see people who commit suicide because the rope ring they hang themselves from is too big, causing their necks to fall off the rope ring?

The blood in the surrounding incidents was probably caused by the pain in the young lady's injured foot when she was hanged."

"But Dad, we seem to have only heard the sound of a clay pot breaking once, right?" Xiaolan asked suspiciously.

"I guess we were all still asleep when we failed before! After all, we drank a lot yesterday." Mouri Kogoro defended.

Otani Xun: "But why did the young lady commit suicide... There is no reason..."

Seto Ryuichi: "There is no sign at all..."

Hearing the words of the two people, Officer Mumu was surprised and said: "Nani? Don't you know the reason why the young lady committed suicide?"

"Well, during the banquet yesterday, the young lady looked very happy." Yoshihiko Arita nodded and said, "She also drank a lot of wine."

"I'm afraid it's because of the "Feng Shui Pill"..."

Kikuemon walked over slowly, "Maybe it's because Yoshiko accidentally broke the "Feng Shui Pill" yesterday, so he couldn't think of doing such a stupid thing for a while. It's really stupid..."

""Feng Shui Pill"?"

"It's a new pottery work that my master will publish soon."

Arita Yoshihiko looked at Officer Megure and explained: "Yesterday, the master wanted to ask Mr. Mori to appreciate it, and when he asked the young lady to come to the warehouse to take it out, he accidentally broke it.

If it’s because you can’t think about it…”

"Is it not unexplainable that she would commit suicide?" Officer Memu nodded, and after pondering, he turned to the forensic personnel and said, "Please compare the shapes of the pot fragments and the wound on the deceased's leg to see if they are consistent."

"That's no problem..." the forensic officer nodded, with a confused look on his face, "but the fragments of the pottery pot on the ground have been trampled into a mess, so we're not sure whether they can be compared with the wounds."

"Well...if they match, there will be no doubt..."

"It's a suicide! It's definitely a suicide, don't think about it!" Kogoro Mouri heard the conversation between Officer Megure and the Forensic Section staff, and repeatedly said it was a suicide and wanted to finalize the case.

"No, it's not suicide." Tang Ze took the initiative to interrupt the conversation between the two and denied it.

"Hey, do you have any evidence for saying it wasn't suicide?" Mouri Kogoro asked with a look of displeasure upon hearing Karasawa's refutation of his argument.

"Maoli-san, it seems like a hangover really affects your brain's thinking. Don't drink so much next time."

Karasawa chuckled lightly, gave Mouri Kogoro a step up, pointed to the feet of the corpse and said, "I don't know if you have noticed, but this young lady is barefoot."

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro immediately woke up and walked around: "That's true. I didn't see the young lady's shoes..."

"It's more than that." Tang Ze pointed at the footsteps of the deceased with white gloves, "Look at the footsteps of the young lady. Although she walked here barefoot, the soles of her feet are very clean without any dust."

"That is to say, you see, I came here with bare feet, but the soles of my feet have become dirty." Conan also helped.

Since knowing Conan's identity, the two have become more and more tacit in their cooperation on the case. When Tang Ze is reasoning openly, Conan will secretly assist Tang Ze and help Tang Ze's reasoning proceed smoothly.

Sometimes, the identity of a child is used to make clichés, or "innocent backstabbing" is used to make the prisoner difficult to guard against.

In fact, this kind of "innocent backstab" is very lethal, and many words spoken by children are very credible.

Moreover, Conan also has a special skill "Ah Lie~", which uses an innocent tone to give you a chilling feeling.

At this moment, this unique skill appeared.

"Ah, it's weird." Conan pretended to be innocent, "I came over here, but my feet are dirty, so does that mean that my aunt didn't actually come over here?"

"There is a high possibility of being carried over by someone." Tang Ze agreed: "And it's weird to sleep here, right?"

"!?"

The cooperation of the two instantly reversed the direction of the search. Officer Mumu touched his chin and said, "Now the suspicion of homicide has become greater."

As he spoke, Officer Megure looked at the four masters and apprentices of Kikuemon and said, "Based on the current situation, you are very suspicious of you who were sleeping in the living room next to the warehouse before the body was discovered."

As he spoke, Officer Memu looked at the four of them and said, "Let me ask again, are everyone really in the living room?"

"That's right!" Arita Yoshihiko nodded: "The only person who left the room was Otani who went to wake up Mrs. Yoshiko."

"Is it possible that you pretended to call the young lady to get up, but actually took the opportunity to hang the young lady to death?" Officer Memu looked at Otani Xun's face with suspicion.

"No, it's not!" Otani Xun waved his hands repeatedly: "Although I went to call the young lady, I only left for a moment, because the room where the young lady is located is adjacent to the living room."

"is this real?"

"Yes!" Arita Yoshihiko replied: "It only takes two steps. It probably won't take ten seconds..."

"Hmm...Is that so..." Officer Megure touched his chin and muttered: "If that's the case, there really isn't much that can be done in such a short period of time."

"So is there anyone else leaving?" Tangze asked.

"I went out for a while." Seto Takashi raised his hand and said, "But I just made a phone call in the corridor outside the living room. Because I couldn't find the young lady, I thought she had gone out, but no one answered the phone.

"

"Will the young lady carry a mobile phone with her at all times?" Officer Memu asked.

"Yes."

Kikuemon nodded and said, "I asked Yoshiko to take it with me. Because we often go to the kiln to focus on firing pottery, we entrusted the external work to Yoshiko."

ps: The destiny favor setting is for consumption, in order to reasonably promote development in the book, instead of me reducing the dimension outside to attack IQ, and forcefully changing the character's actions~~ consume some luck to make "can have, "Is there any" thing that can lead to a situation that is beneficial to the protagonist? Rather than writing it directly and forcefully, it should be more logically developed~
