Although Mao Lilan was a little scared in the dark, she still mustered up the courage to comfort Yuanzi.
"Snapped!"
Just when the atmosphere in the kitchen became solemn, Yuko Komiyayama also found the power switch in the computer room, restoring the light to the villa.
Seeing Michi Uemori kneeling on the ground in pain, Kaoru Uemori hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
"I...my back..."
Yoshitomo Uemori pointed to his back with a pale face. Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with purple lips.
"Mother……"
Conan hurriedly ran to Michi Uemori, stretched out his hand to feel her breath, and his expression suddenly changed: "She is dead, sister Xiaolan, call the police quickly!"
"oh oh!"
When Mao Lilan heard Conan's words, she nodded subconsciously and immediately called the police.
Beep~woo~~beep~woo~~beep~woo~~
After receiving the alarm call from Mao Lilan, Officer Mu Mu immediately led people to the murder scene.
After a careful search by the police, several important clues and evidence were quickly found in the villa.
The most important evidence is the piece of broken ice that has not yet melted under the power switch in the villa's computer room, and the weight connected to the power switch with a wire.
It was obvious that this was a timing device specially designed by someone. As soon as the ice cube melted, the weight placed on it would fall down, turning off the power switch and plunging the entire villa into darkness.
If someone outside the villa wanted to kill Yoshitomo Uemori, they would certainly not have designed such a mechanism.
Moreover, judging from the information that Officer Megure and the others had just learned, Michi Uemori was attacked and killed in total darkness.
If the gangster really broke in from outside the villa, how could he have locked onto Mori's location in such a short period of time, killed someone, and then left without alerting other people?
Therefore, Officer Megure believed that the real murderer of Yoshitomo Uemori should be hidden among the group of people in the villa.
Among the suspects present, two children, Suzuki Seimei and Conan, can be ruled out as suspects in advance.
Yuko Komiyayama, who went to the computer room to turn on the power switch at the time of the crime, can also be ruled out as a suspect.
As for the remaining five people, Officer Megure quickly ruled out Mao Lilan and Sonoko as suspects after asking about their circumstances at the time.
It's not that Officer Megure deliberately favored Mao Lilan and the others, but Mao Lilan and Sonoko were both afraid of the dark. They stayed together after the power was cut off, so there was no chance of committing a crime.
The real murderer should be Nishitani Hiroaki, Yashiro Kazue and Uemori Kaoru, one of the three.
A typical case of choosing one out of three!
After locking in the three suspects, Officer Megure got straight to the point: "Mr. Nishitani, Ms. Kazue, and Ms. Kaoru, please take out all your belongings!"
Seeing Officer Megure reduce the number of suspects to three people so quickly, Nishitani Hiroaki, who had a guilty conscience, was still a little nervous, but on the surface he took out his belongings calmly.
Before the police arrived, Nishitani Hiroaki had already hidden the murder weapon in a place that a normal person would never think of, so there was no need to worry that the police would find evidence.
"Huh? Uncle, there seems to be something in the refill of your ballpoint pen?"
A voice that sounded like a little devil suddenly sounded, causing Nishitani Hiroaki's expression to suddenly change.
?)?Д?(
Under Nishitani Hiroaki's horrified gaze, Officer Megure took the ballpoint pen refill from Suzuki Seimei's hand and looked at it under the bright electric light. Sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a needle hidden inside.
Officer Megure asked with a serious face: "Mr. Nishitani, can you explain why there is a ballpoint pen refill hidden in it?"
A normal person would definitely not hide a needle in the refill of a ballpoint pen. Nishitani Hiroaki deliberately hid the needle in a place like this. It is very likely that this needle was the murder weapon that killed Yoshitomo Uemori.
"me……"
"Even if you don't say anything, as long as we do a blood comparison, we can know whether this needle is the murder weapon?"
Officer Megure's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely dispelling Nishitani Hiroaki's luck. He said with despair on his face: "Yes, I was the one who killed Uemori-sensei."
At this moment, Nishitani Hiroaki felt that ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past in his heart.
It was obvious that the method of committing the crime was discovered with great difficulty, but why was it discovered so quickly?
This kid is poisonous!
Officer Megure said: "Mr. Nishitani, why did you kill Ms. Yoshitomo Uemori? What was your motive?"
"Because Mr. Uemori refused to continue to provide me with financial assistance, the restaurant I just opened almost collapsed due to lack of funds, so I wanted to kill her to vent my anger." Nishitani Hiroaki said dejectedly.
Although there is no wonderful reasoning brought by the famous detective this time, with the murder weapon hidden in the pen refill, it can be regarded as ironclad evidence.
With Hiroaki Nishitani being arrested and brought to justice by the police, today's murder case can be considered over.
Suzuki Seimei and the others did not stay at the villa for long, and left Abeido Town in a nanny car.
On the way back to the Maori Detective Agency, Conan resisted for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Qingming, how did you find out that the needle was hidden in the ballpoint pen refill?"
Ever since the murder occurred, Conan has been looking for clues left by the murderer. But before he could find enough evidence, Suzuki Seimei found out the murderer. Isn't this playing tricks on him?
Facing Conan's curious gaze, Suzuki Seimei replied seriously: "I don't know what happened. Anyway, when I saw the ballpoint pen, I felt that there was something wrong with the ballpoint pen. Maybe my sixth sense is more accurate.
!”
o(′^｀)o
Hearing this perfunctory answer, Conan rolled his eyes at Suzuki Seimei angrily.
Do you really think I'm stupid?
If the sixth sense can solve crimes, what else will detectives and police do?
The reason why Suzuki Seimei was able to discover that the murder weapon was hidden inside the ballpoint pen refill was certainly not due to some sixth sense, but because he used financial resources to strengthen his sense of smell and smelled the bloody smell remaining on the ballpoint pen.
It's just that Suzuki Seimei couldn't tell Conan the secret of his "money power", so he could only blame the matter on his sixth sense.
