As this wrinkled photo was slowly opened, a cute girl with a ponytail holding a winning trophy in her hand appeared in Conan's sight. It was the young Shizuka Hattori.
"Boom!"
Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro first gave Conan a big red envelope, then snatched the photo from his hand and shouted angrily: "How many times have I told you not to take the evidence at the scene casually? This is
…”
When Mouri Kogoro saw clearly the appearance of the girl in the photo, he was stunned on the spot and subconsciously glanced at Hattori Shizuka next to him.
"Who are you and why are you at my house?"
The apartment door opened again, and a woman wearing sportswear and carrying a golf bag walked in from the door.
As the hostess, Shibata Kyoko was particularly surprised to see so many strangers coming to her home.
"Kyou...Kyouko, you are back, Shi...Shiro is dead..."
Hearing Shibata Kyoko's voice, Yoshikawa Takezo finally came to his senses and hurriedly shouted to her.
"What did you say?!"
When Yoshikawa Takezo heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Maori Kogoro glanced at Hattori Shizuka, then turned to Maori Lan and ordered: "Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police."
"yes!"
Beep~woo~~beep~woo~~beep~woo~~
After receiving the alarm call, the police station responsible for managing public security in Shizuoka Prefecture quickly dispatched Officer Henggou and others to the scene.
Officer Yokomori is not only Kogoro Mouri's number one fan, but he also considers himself his number one disciple, so he seemed particularly excited after meeting him.
From Mouri Kogoro's mouth, Officer Henggou quickly learned what happened after they arrived here.
"I already understand the general situation. Mr. Mori and others came to visit Mr. Shibata Shiro. Although they rang the doorbell several times, no one answered the door.
At this time, Mr. Yoshikawa, who had made an appointment with Mr. Shibata to play mahjong together today, came.
When Mr. Yoshikawa tried to turn the door handle, he found that Mr. Shibata's door was not locked at all, so you entered the house together and found Mr. Shibata's body.
Not long after you discovered the body, Mrs. Shibata came back from outside, and then Xiaolan called the police, so that should be the case, right?"
"Yes, that's it."
After hearing Officer Henggou's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
After Officer Henggou finished speaking, he turned to the coroner and asked: "Can you determine the time of death of the deceased?"
The coroner replied: "According to my estimate, the time of death of the deceased should be between dawn and morning today."
Hearing this, Officer Henggou nodded clearly and turned to Kyoko Shibata and asked: "Mrs. Shibata, where were you at that time?"
"Well...because I made an appointment with my friend today to play golf, so she drove to pick me up at five o'clock this morning."
Kyoko Shibata thought for a moment and said, "After I helped my husband prepare breakfast, I went to play golf with my friends."
"Excuse me, was Mr. Shibata at home at that time?"
"He is at home because my husband played mahjong with Mr. Yoshikawa and the others last night and did not come home until 3:30 this morning, so he was still sleeping at that time."
"If you put it this way, Mr. Shibata should not have been killed before five o'clock."
Officer Henggou nodded thoughtfully, pointed to the newspaper on the dining table and said, "By the way, when is your morning newspaper usually delivered?"
Mrs. Shibata said: "The morning paper is usually delivered at six o'clock in the morning, and it is usually placed in the mailbox at the door."
"I see. Speaking of which, Mr. Shibata probably got up in the morning, picked up the morning newspaper, and was suddenly attacked by gangsters while he was having breakfast. That's why he didn't finish the breakfast on the table."
"Ah, lie, lie~~"
When Suzuki Seimei heard this, he deliberately said in an innocent tone: "It's really weird!"
"Qingming, did you find anything wrong?" Haiyuan Ai asked subconsciously.
"Based on the conversation between Officer Henggou and Mrs. Shibata just now, Mr. Shibata was probably killed after six o'clock."
Suzuki Seimei glanced at Shibata Kyoko and said in a meaningful tone: "After six o'clock, it is already bright.
I don’t think Mr. Shibata would deliberately turn on the lights at home when he was having breakfast at this time.
But when we entered just now, all the lights in this house were turned on!"
(?｀?Д?′)!!
When Conan and the others heard this, they were slightly startled at first, and then their expressions suddenly changed.
It's obvious that they also understand the meaning of this matter!
If Mr. Shibata was really killed after six o'clock, the lights in the room must have been turned off. Then when Suzuki Seimei and others entered the room, the room must have been dark.
There are only two possibilities for why this situation occurs.
The first possibility is that after killing Mr. Shibata, the murderer returned to the apartment after dark for some reason and forgot to turn off the lights before leaving.
The second possibility is...
"I understand! Mrs. Shibata, you must be the murderer!"
After Mouri Kogoro reacted, he pointed at Kyoko Shibata and said: "I think Mr. Shibata should have been killed by you before five o'clock. You only went with your friends after killing Mr. Shibata."
Went to play golf.
You said before that Mr. Shibata came home at 3:30 this morning. It was still dark at that time, so it was normal for the lights to be on in the room.
I think the breakfast on the table must have been prepared by you at that time!
And as far as I know, Mr. Shibata is also a master of swordsmanship. It would be difficult for ordinary people to kill him in a sneak attack.
Only you, my wife, can kill him in a sneak attack when he is defenseless."
"You...don't talk nonsense, okay?! Why should I kill my husband?"
Faced with Mouri Kogoro's reasoning, Shibata Kyoko retorted angrily: "If I really killed my husband before five o'clock, how can I explain the morning newspaper on the table?"
"This...this..."
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, his face couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.
Kogoro Mouri really didn't understand why the morning newspaper after six o'clock would appear on the dining table.
Just when Mouri Kogoro didn't know how to respond, Conan suddenly said: "I think it's for gambling!"
