The old man's death was confirmed after the only detective at the scene, Kogoro Mori, entered the scene for inspection.
As the most beloved granddaughter, Xia Jiang was also the only one among the many immediate family members at the scene who showed sadness.
Under the examination of Kogoro Mori, a former police officer of the Criminal Division, the time of death of Mr. Subamoto was determined to be 40-50 minutes ago.
Well, Shiraijiu, who was angry, must have been 40 minutes ago, that is, before that person came to the restaurant. If she wanted to say why she directly pointed out it was Ichiro Tsutomoto, it was of course because of Mr. Tsutomoto's lingering thoughts.
The first to rule out suspicion at the scene must be Maori Ran and Moori Kogoro from the Mori Detective Agency, who have been together and can testify against each other, as well as Natsue Tsutomoto.
Later, Mao Lilan testified, confirming that the housekeeper had no time to commit the crime at the time of the deceased's accident.
After Suzuki Butler's suspicion was cleared, as the first discoverer of the case, his testimony was quite powerful.
"When you found the body, the door to the room was locked, right?" Mouri Kogoro began to play the role of detective.
"Well, yes." Butler Suzuki replied.
"Then what kind of locking method is it?"
"Once this room is locked from the inside, only this key can open it." Butler Suzuki took out the key to this room and signaled to Kogoro Mori.
"Are there any other spare keys to this room?"
"No, there is only this key. I asked the master for it after uploading it..."
That means that no one except the deceased Suzuki housekeeper can open the door of this room.
"The windows in the room are not open, and the only exit is locked. No one can break in..." Mouri Kogoro looked around the room and came to a conclusion, "In other words, this room is a completely sealed secret room!"
When they heard that it was this secret room, the first reaction of the members of the Yumoto family was to commit suicide - this was also the result they most wanted to see. Let's not talk about how satisfying the old man's death was. Let's just say that if the old man was killed, then it would mean
They are about to be on the same boat with a murderer!
Regarding this point, without the help of Detective Conan, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro himself refuted this statement: "But, if it was a suicide, the things that should have appeared with the body are not here."
"Eh...?" After hearing this, everyone in the Subomoto family understood what Mouri Kogoro meant, and their expressions were very ugly - especially the expression on Ichiro Subomoto's face.
"It's the murder weapon..." Mouri Kogoro explained, "He was stabbed in the abdomen and bled to death. However, nothing similar to the murder weapon was found in the house."
"Maybe it's sharp ice or something," Ryuuo Tsutomoto, who was leaning at the door, understood. "Isn't it often mentioned in mystery novels that after a period of time, the ice will melt and disappear."
When Bai Jingjiu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at this young man with a look of "I'm super suspicious, I look like a murderer". I didn't expect that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, would like to read detective novels? It seems that you have a lot in mind.
Shall we learn the techniques inside?
Mouri Kogoro still dismissed this view, "Would people who commit suicide do this?"
Qiuhong Luoben defended her husband, "It must be grandpa's trick! He knew that there were people from the Luoben family who coveted his property, so he used this method to punish everyone."
As Yanben Qiuhong said, she also looked at other members of the former Yanben family, as well as Yanben Xia Jiang, "Of course, excluding Xia Jiang."
After what Qiuhong said, Shoji rebelled. After all, in his mind, this seemed to be something that the old man could do...
The eldest daughter's family did not speak, but they obviously agreed with this point of view.
This round was Kogoro Mouri's defeat. Then, Detective Conan came on the stage, "No, it was a homicide. The reason is very simple..."
Yuben family: "...?!"
Mao Lilan was shocked: "Ke, Conan?!"
Mouri Kogoro clenched his fist: "This brat...!"
Bai Jingjiu: "..."
Oh my god, is Kudo Shinichi such a wild person? Can he really successfully disguise himself under the watchful eye of the dark organization? Every case of Conan has been like this in more than a thousand episodes, and the dark organization has not yet suspected Conan.
Is this organization too disdainful?
Could it be that the truth is that despite hoarding gin and releasing malicious intent, he is actually very poor in ability?
No, let alone Gin, after more than a thousand episodes, even the people around Conan haven't noticed anything unusual about him... Could it be that the mysterious power of the second dimension is causing trouble again?
Just when Baijiu was in a daze, expressionless and shocked, Maori Kogoro finally cracked the "secret room murder case" under Conan's instructions.
——Master Jueben was stabbed when he went out. Then in order to avoid the murderer, he returned to the room and locked the door. Finally, he bled excessively and died. The evidence is the blood dripping on the threshold.
So, after ruling out the possibility of suicide, every one of the seven members of the Yu family, except Xia Jiang, is suspected of murder.
So, Mouri Kogoro continued to ask for information from Butler Suzuki, "Mr. Suzuki, did you notice anything unusual when you entered the room?"
"No, no, after I yelled, everyone rushed over..." Suzuki replied, suddenly thinking of something, "Ah... that's right! I picked up this flower at the door."
Butler Suzuki took out a flower from his pocket, and it was exactly the same flower that Xiajiang had pinned on his clothes for Yumoto Wu.
At this moment, all suspicions were transferred to Jue Benwu. Everyone in the Jueben family also started to criticize all the strange things about Jue Benwu.
Finally, the eldest daughter, who openly revealed that she had eavesdropped, pointed out that Yu Benwu's identity turned out to be the descendant of a person who had a grudge against Mr. Yu Ben.
At this moment, the facts of the case became clear and clear. Takehiko Nomoto, formerly known as Takehiko Aishiro, deliberately approached the old man's only beloved granddaughter Xia Jiang because of hatred. Then on the wedding day, he was exposed by the old man in the room, so he stabbed him with a knife.
Together with the old man, he completed his revenge.
Mouri Kogoro said that he often saw this kind of drama when he was in the criminal investigation team. If he is familiar with it, he can solve this case for you with his eyes closed.
Bai Jingjiu looked speechless and interrupted directly, "But there are traces of wiping on the door, and the blood stains only extend to the threshold. Doesn't this mean that the murderer has cleaned the door? How could such obvious evidence as a flower be left behind?"
"
The girl's voice is childish, with the sharpness unique to children and the coldness unique to the Shirai family. It is not harsh, but it can penetrate the chaotic scene at once, and her words can be clearly heard in everyone's ears.
Mouri Kogoro was stunned. He turned around and followed Shiraijiu's instructions to check at the door. Sure enough, he saw traces of wiping. "There are really scratches. If the murderer really cleaned up the scene, it would be abnormal to leave a flower behind."
