There were so many suspicious people that Judy was a little confused.
Judy was obviously not the only one who was confused. The Yamacun Police Department also sighed tiredly after swaying a few times: "Let's finish collecting the evidence at the scene first - everyone go downstairs and wait."
The group of people had no objections and turned around and went downstairs and returned to the living room.
"I didn't expect that it was actually suicide." Suzuki Sonoko sat on the tatami, stretched and murmured, "In my life, this is the first time I have encountered such a scene."
The tennis coach thought it was the first time she had seen a corpse. He apologized: "I'm really sorry. This rare day off has caused you to encounter such a thing. You must be frightened."
"Uh... that's not the case." When Suzuki Sonoko first went upstairs, she was indeed startled by the dead state of the corpse, but she soon calmed down - after all, she didn't see the hanging corpse.
Little, it was just the first time I saw the person who hung me up.
Realizing that there was some misunderstanding between the two parties, it was a bit difficult to explain. Suzuki Sonoko simply changed the topic. Her smart eyes swept over and she quickly saw something: "Eh? Do you also like fishing?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.
The book clearly showed a fishing rod and a fish, and the title was "Introduction to Fishing."
The tennis coach shook his head: "I don't know how to fish. My wife bought this book, but unfortunately before she could learn it, she...sigh."
The two of them chatted casually, while Conan poked at Jiang Xia next to him, indicating with his eyes: There is something wrong with this person.
The two times Judy was asked to go upstairs to collect the dishes, it can be said that he couldn't free his hands. There seems to be a reasonable explanation for the chandelier cord that was short at the death scene, but the strangest thing was their dinner -
—That plate of spicy curry.
The father just went to the dentist to have his teeth extracted, and immediately after that, he made spicy curry for his son?
This is not something a dutiful son would do.
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked twice, and then someone opened the door from the outside.
Detective from the Shancun Police Department: "Um, I have something to ask."
He looked at the tennis coach: "We found some very thin marks on your father's hands and wrists, which were left before his death. It was as if someone had tied him up. Do you have anything to say about this matter?
Any idea?"
"Strangulation marks on wrists?!"
The first one to react was Judy.
The mountain village police department was startled: "What are you doing! You're scared to death."
Judy was too lazy to pay attention to him. There was only one thing in her mind: clues like the marks on her wrists came out... It seemed that today's death was really not a suicide.
So that person really took action again?
Tonight she had been waiting for the foursome to gather together, but after waiting, the two of them started right away!
——The multiple-choice questions in the past were gone. This time Uzo slapped them with a proof question.
...What is this, a provocation?
Did they realize that the FBI was controlling the flow of people to reduce the number of suspicious targets, so they simply took the initiative to reduce the number of suspects in order to ridicule the ridiculousness of their actions?
Judy: "..." What is intolerable is unbearable, I... Akai Shuichi, give him some color quickly!
Judy looked expectantly outside the room, calling silently in her heart.
However, it was now midnight, and the visibility was probably less than ten meters. After all, she couldn't see her reliable teammate, so she had to silently look away.
No one noticed her move, only Belmode glanced out the window silently: "..." It seemed that this wasn't the first time this FBI looked outside... What's outside?
Next to him, the tennis coach said with a cold sweat on his forehead: "My father is quite frugal. If there are thin rubber bands on the package when unpacking, he will wrap the rubber bands around his hands - that may be how the marks are left.
Bar."
The mountain village police officer sighed. He originally wanted to use this to defraud the tennis coach, but unfortunately he couldn't deceive anything now: "You are right - there were indeed a few thin rubber bands stuffed under the deceased's pillow."
But he was still a little unwilling and asked these witnesses: "Did you really not see anything strange? For example, a suspicious figure or strange movements?"
The Shancun Police Department was also one of the suspects in Judy's mind at the moment, and every word he said was captured and amplified.
Hearing the "strange noise", Judy actually remembered one thing: "When the 'New Doctor' and I went upstairs for the first time, we heard the deceased wailing in the bedroom."
"Crying?" The Yamacun Police Department was dissatisfied, "Wouldn't that really turn into suicide?"
Judy: "..." What, are you trying to improve your performance? Someone asked you to turn this into a homicide?
She really wanted to ask just that, but she still had to pay attention to her current identity, so she finally swallowed the words with great difficulty.
Conan seemed to suddenly think of something from "crying" and sat upright excitedly: "On the ground, ahem... did anything special fall on the ground?"
Yamamura Cao didn't know why he asked, but he still answered: "No. If you have to say what was dropped, there was indeed a handkerchief. But it should have been used by the deceased to wipe his mouth - it had some curry on it.
There’s also saliva.”
Conan: "!!"
He jumped up and ran towards the crime scene upstairs.
Mao Lilan hurriedly followed, but Belmod hesitated, then got up and followed her - after all, she still had the title of teacher, so it wasn't too weird to follow her students everywhere.
Then Conan was seen walking straight towards the deceased, looking down at the old man's teeth carefully.
Mao Lilan was still a little afraid of corpses and didn't dare to get so close, so she had to stand at the door and said: "Conan, don't cause trouble, come back quickly!"
Belmode pretended to catch the naughty child running around, and also walked over to take a look.
Then his eyes paused.
Belmode: "..." Today's case was indeed a homicide. My previous idea that "Uzo would ask for sick leave" was too naive.
The missing tooth in the deceased's mouth was definitely not extracted by the dentist two or three days ago. Because the gums underneath showed no signs of healing - judging from the shape of the gums, the tooth clearly appeared tonight.
The teeth were extracted, and the adjacent teeth were also loose. This is probably part of the modus operandi.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Conan suddenly turn to the small table next to him, pick up a spoon and dig into the curry rice.
The police were checking at the window for signs of intrusion. When they turned around, they unexpectedly discovered that someone was causing trouble at the scene of the crime. Moreover, that person was not Jiang Xia, who had been blown away by the mountain village police department, but a strange kid.
The young police officers in Gunma County were immediately alert: "What are you doing! Don't disturb the scene!"
