With the cooperation of elementary school student Shirai Ku, Officer Sato obtained the following information.
The house where the deceased was located is one of the many properties under the name of Shirai's parents. The current resident, Shirai Sakeko, has not been home for a long time because he was seriously ill and was hospitalized. As for which hospital Shirai Sakeko was hospitalized in, Shiraijiu said that he did not know
She doesn't know, and no one has told her.
The identity of the deceased was Shirai's half-brother, named Kento Shirai. He was 23 years old and his identity seemed to be a gangster. He had a bad personality, was idle, and did not want to make progress. After Kento Shirai came of age, Shirai's father
They stopped giving him living expenses, so he turned to his sister, Shirai Shuko, for money.
The key to the house is only owned by Shirai Sakeko and Shirai Ku (that is to say, there is only one). It has never been lost and there is no spare key. Of course Shirai Kento does not have a key. As for how he got in, Shirai Ku said he is not sure.
Bai Jingjiu was also very sure that he had indeed used the key to open the locked door. If others did not have the key, they could not lock the door from the outside. This is the 24th floor. Even if the murderer killed someone, there was nothing he could do.
Leave through the window.
So this is a secret room.
If the deceased did not commit suicide, then it was a secret room homicide.
Conan, who thought of asking Shiraijiu for information about the case, ran back and got the information at the same time, and his excellent brain began to work rapidly.
Just when he was about to run away again, Shiraijiu, who couldn't stand it, grabbed Conan.
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
"Eh?" Conan was stunned, and his excitement due to encountering the secret room case gradually calmed down.
"Here." Bai Jingjiu pointed to the ground, "Downstairs, as I said, the man in black has been here."
When Conan mentioned men in black, gin and vodka automatically came to mind. "You mean, the murderer could be those two men in black?"
"..." Baijiu was speechless at Conan's subconscious move to blame the man in black, "No, I don't rule out this possibility. But what I want to say is that it is possible that this place is still under the surveillance of the man in black.
Now, if you run around the murder scene looking for evidence like this, they might notice you."
Normal primary school students would not behave like this. Please understand this clearly for me!
Indeed, Conan used to hide or help solve crimes when he was a child and no one noticed him, but if there is a man in black watching nearby...
Conan's face was stern, and he seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter, and Baijiu felt a little relieved.
However, Conan is a person who really has the aura of the protagonist. Even if he doesn't look for evidence, the evidence will naturally find him.
Just as the two fake primary school students were sitting among the adults, acting like real primary school students, a piece of news was floating on the top of the TV screen——
"Recently, there have been many burglary cases in Cupido Town. So far, most of the houses that the criminals have entered are long-term vacant houses, and there have been no cases of injury. Please check whether the doors and windows are closed before going out.
.If you find a suspicious person, please notify the police in time."
Burglary?
Conan recalled the photos of corpses he had sneaked into Shirai's house among the crowd and peeked from the Megure Police Department. There was a thick layer of calluses on the palms of the corpses. At the time, he was still wondering what kind of work could cause such palms to develop.
cocoon.
Now seeing this news, combined with the identity and character of the deceased described by Shirai Shuko, Conan can already conclude that the deceased Shirai Kento is probably the criminal who committed the burglary.
When the deceased was found, he fell on his back with a fruit knife stuck in his chest. His expression was in disbelief. This is the Shirai family. According to Shirai Shuko, coming here must be like returning to his own home.
Same thing, but when he got home, he was killed by someone he didn't expect.
kindness……
Objectively speaking, Shirai Sakeko has a conflict with Shirai Kento, she is his sister, and she is also the owner of this house. It is really suspicious.
If Shirai Sakeko hadn't become a child and been with them recently, Conan would have started to doubt Shirai Sakeko.
Not long after, Megure came upstairs and called Sato out. After Conan noticed it sharply, he couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately acted coquettishly and cutely towards Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the toilet~
"
"Hmm? Okay, shall I go with you?"
As soon as Xiaolan's words came out, Conan felt Shirai Shuko's death glare, and immediately twitched his lips with a smile and refused while retreating and running away, "Ah haha... No need, I can do it alone..."
Really, he originally wanted to act alone, why is this guy Shirai staring at him?
After getting out of Xiaolan's sight, Conan looked around to make sure that no one around him was paying attention to him anymore. He immediately ran out the door and found Megure and Sato standing in the corridor talking quietly.
"Eh—that means Shirai Sakeko is missing now?"
As soon as Conan got closer, he heard Officer Sato asking the Megure Police Department in a surprised tone, which frightened him to the point of trembling.
Shirai Sakeko is now the first suspect. If the real murderer is not found and she is missing, the police may focus on investigating her. Then they will eventually realize that Kudo Shinichi is also missing. This matter
The trouble will definitely come to Xiaolan's place.
Xiaolan is not stupid. She also saw the man in black that day, and she quickly figured out that their disappearance must be related to the man in black... If she told the police, she would have alerted the enemy, and if she didn't, she would be involved.
in this danger.
No, the man in black will most likely silence Xiao Lan before she tells the police about this...
Xiaolan...will die!
No, even for Xiaolan, he must find the real murderer!
Conan turned and ran away.
Here, Megure continued to communicate with Sato, with a solemn look on his face, "...Moreover, the Shirai couple denied that they have a child named Shirai Ku, and said that they would personally talk to her on the phone."
"What? In that case, the child also...?" Sato was a little unwilling to believe that such a young child could actually lie to the police.
"It's hard to say now. Anyway, you go ask the children to come over and talk on the phone...be careful not to reveal any flaws." Megure is an old policeman after all. He has seen everything. He thought of various possibilities and did not just identify Shiraijiu.
lie.
Whether Bai Jingjiu is lying or something, we can only confirm it after she and the Shirai couple finish talking, right?
"Yes..." Sato nodded, turned around and entered the room, and came to Shirai Jiu in front of the sofa, still showing a smile. "Xiao Jiu, your parents called over, do you want to talk to them?"
It is clear that Iku's appearance is very similar to Shirai's sake, and similar to the Shirai couple in the photo, and she is still so young, no matter how she thinks about it, she doesn't think Shirai is lying. If Sato is given a choice, she is more willing to believe Xiaoji
of.
"Yes." Bai Jingjiu responded, jumped off the sofa and said hello to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, I'll go take a call and I'll be back soon."
"kindness."
While speaking, Bai Jingjiu remained calm, without feeling panic at all, and even greeted Xiaolan. How could such a cute and well-behaved girl lie to the police?
Sato became more and more confused. After saying hello to Xiaolan, he led Shiraijiu to the corridor to find Officer Megure.
Megure saw Sato walking over with Shiraijiu in hand. He straightened his hat and made sure that his scars were well covered and would not scare the children. Then he squatted down and pressed the speakerphone on the phone in his hand, and smiled kindly.
"Xiaojiu, right? Come and say hello to your parents?"
These days, the so-called telephone is still as big as a brick and as heavy as a brick in the hand, so Mumu held it in his hand, facing Shiraijiu with the microphone, and had no intention of letting Shiraijiu hold the phone by himself.
Of course, I also want to hear and see what Shiraijiu and the Shirai couple will talk about and what their relationship is.
