Although some evidence against the defendant has been collected, Madonna, the prosecutor, has not been able to directly conclude the case.
Well, after all, his opponent this time is lawyer Fei Yingli, so he can only be considered unlucky this time.
While walking, Xiaolan heard the conversations of passers-by and smiled and said to Mouri Kogoro: Mom is very well prepared this time.
This is indeed the case today.
After finishing speaking, Mouri Kogoro was not very optimistic: But I'm afraid that guy won't let it go, and the second trial next time won't be that simple.
Conan-kun, do you still care about painting?
When Xiaolan looked down at Conan, she found that he was standing in front of a landscape painting in the hall, and couldn't help but ask.
If the teacher's memory is correct, I'm wondering who hung the painting upside down. Conan said with a smile.
At least it shouldn't be the deceased Ishigaki Tadafu.
Tang Ze said: After all, you have to know this about the paintings you bought yourself.
The painting is now hung upside down, and Ishigaki Chufu has not yet corrected it, which is very interesting.
No matter what the reason was, it at least proved that the painting had been touched once, and the person who hung the painting again had no way of distinguishing the front and back of the painting.
Tang Ze Criminal, tell me, could the person who hangs this painting again be the murderer?
At this moment, Xiaolan Chengzi, who had finished talking and walked towards them, looked at Tang Ze excitedly after hearing Tang Ze's words and asked.
It is possible, but without going to the scene to check, everything is just speculation. Tangze smiled and replied: I plan to wait and see the situation. Do you want to come together?
Is this appropriate? When Xiaolan Chengzi heard this, her eyes lit up and she was eager to give it a try. Then she looked at Shiratiao again and asked with a somewhat hesitant expression.
As a juror, this is a question raised by you, Mr. Xiaolin. Go to the scene to verify what is wrong with your findings.
Before Shiratori could say anything, Tang Ze took the lead in dispelling the other party's concerns: Let's go to the crime scene together. If anything is found, Mr. Xiaolin, you will be the major contributor to this case.
There is really no exaggeration in what he said. After all, even Tang Ze is not omnipotent, and he also saw the painting, but because of his blind spot in knowledge, he did not see that it was wrong at all.
If Teacher Xiaolin hadn't brought it up, this clue would have been ignored by Tangze and Conan.
How could it be possible? Karasawa Criminal, you are exaggerating. Xiaolan Chengzi waved her hands after hearing this: It’s just a small discovery. It’s really not certain whether there are any clues.
Seeing this, Tang Ze didn't say anything and just smiled, but he was already convinced that he would find clues.
After all, as one of the important supporting characters in this case, Xiaolan Sumiko cannot just be a juror. Watching the fight between Fei Eri and Kujo Reiko, she will definitely provide some important information to highlight the role of her appearance.
The group of people also had neat personalities, so they drove straight to the mansion where Tadashi Ishigaki was located.
However, when they arrived in front of Ishigaki Chufu's house, they found two cars parked outside.
It looks like someone has thought of it together with us. Tang Ze looked at the two cars parked on the roadside and said with a smile.
It must be Prosecutor Kujo. Mouri Kogoro saw that one of the cars was a police car and guessed.
Mom will probably come over later, Xiaolan speculated.
Let's go in first too.
At their suggestion, everyone identified themselves to the criminal guard and entered the room.
When you walk into the study room where the crime scene was found, what you see in front of you is Prosecutor Kujo and her assistant, in addition to the two witnesses who previously testified in court.
Listening to their conversation, it was obvious that they were recreating the scene when the crime occurred.
Ah, this is really rare.
Seeing everyone walking into the room, Kujo Reiko held her arms in her arms and said with a smile: The famous detective and the famous
It is really rare for criminals to pay attention to this case.
I just had some concerns, so I wanted to check the situation on the spot. Karasawa smiled and said hello to Kujo Reiko: Didn't I disturb you?
Of course not, we are just deciding on a few locations for the next court session. Kujo Reiko smiled and extended her hand.
So have you found evidence that can instantly reverse an adverse situation?
Faced with Mouri Kogoro's question, Kujo Reiko smiled and said nothing, and Mouri Kogoro quickly realized the inappropriateness, smiled and stopped asking questions.
In this way, no matter what he thought, in the eyes of outsiders, he and Feili were still husband and wife.
And what he just said was a bit suspicious of seeking information. Even if Kujo Reiko is willing to believe in his character, if some things can be avoided, it is better not to let them happen in the first place.
Speaking of which, Prosecutor Kujo, have you checked that painting? Karasawa pointed at the painting hanging on the wall and asked.
Is this the painting the juror was talking about? Kujo Reiko glanced at Oran Sumiko and smiled: Not yet.
I checked on the Internet before and found that it was indeed hung upside down. Tangze took his mobile phone and said: Now let's see who actually hung this painting upside down and why.
Let me do it.
Shiratori put on his gloves, and with the cooperation of Reiko Kujo's male assistant, he took down the hanging painting, which was nearly half a person's height.
This uses magnets to fix the painting to the wall.
During the disassembly process, Shiratori felt a magnetic force and immediately spoke to explain the special features of this painting.
After everyone heard this, their expressions froze.
After all, compared to paintings hung on the wall with nails, if this half-meter-long painting is fixed on the wall with a magnet, it should be difficult to fall off.
But now I'm hanging up the other way around.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the painting lying on the ground.
It was past time for the front side to be on the wall, so Shiratori and the prosecutor's assistant directly placed the painting on the ground upside down.
There is blood.
Tangze's insight was as sharp as ever. Even if he didn't turn on his super sense of smell, he still saw a trace of dry black in the gap at the edge of the frame.
But this is too strange, isn't it? After hearing Karasawa's words, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but be surprised: If the front of the painting is stained with blood, how can the back be stained with blood?
If someone touched this painting with blood-stained hands, wouldn't it be strange to see blood stains on the back?
Tangze said as he squatted down and found the disassembly part of the picture frame, and removed the baffle that fixed the painting.
After the outermost baffle is removed, the interior is not just a painting, but there is a layer of wooden crosses fixed on it.
This is to prevent the painting from being displaced downward if it is too large and left there for a long time without internal support.
In the little space formed by the cross, there is a stack of information placed below.
This is!
After seeing this document, Reiko Kujo knelt down and picked up the document and looked at it in detail: These are the IOUs and bills for the money, as well as the loan contract!
So that’s it, is this the picture frame being used as a hidden safe?
Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro suddenly said: It would make sense if there were blood stains on the back edge of the frame.
Perhaps this case is related to these IOUs. Karasawa looked at Kujo Reiko and said: Look who has borrowed money.
Kujo Reiko nodded when she heard this. When she turned to the second page, her eyes shrank unconsciously: This is
The borrower of the three million IOU is actually Toshio Iwamatsu!? Shiratori looked at the person signing the IOU and couldn't help but be surprised.
Eh!? Kobayashi Chengzi Wenyan was stunned at first, and then was shocked: Isn’t that the name of the previous defendant?
Nine
Reiko Jou looked at the IOU in front of her with sharp eyes: If the defendant's purpose of sneaking into the mansion in the first place was for this IOU
This is really incredible evidence.
Although Tang Ze looked serious, after a moment he looked at Kobayashi Sumiko and said with a smile: By the time of the second trial, Mr. Kobayashi, you will be the hero of this case.
Those who doubted you will be slapped in the face by you.
How could it be that Xiaolin Chengzi heard Tang Ze's words and said shyly: I didn't do anything, it just happened that the principal's office had that painting.
No need to be humble.
Tangze smiled and said: It's your credit. You can discover places that none of us can discover. In addition to daily accumulation and knowledge, having meticulous observation is the key.
Otherwise, even if you know that the painting is hung upside down, but you don't notice or don't care, then we won't be able to discover the secret hidden behind the painting.
Of course, this is still a bit exaggerated. After all, although Tang Ze does not turn on his super smell on a daily basis, he feels that he will still turn on his super smell when encountering situations or when conducting searches.
Even if there is no Kobayashi Sumiko this time, Karaze will still be able to find this evidence when he turns on his super sense of smell.
Karasawa Criminal, you are exaggerating. Kobayashi Chengzi is also self-aware: even without my reminder, you will definitely find it.
Okay, that’s it for the topic of mutual humility.
Shiratiao on the side saw that the two of them were tired of being polite, so he took the initiative to end the topic and said: That's right.
Regarding this president, he doesn’t seem that honest.
Mouri Kogoro looked at the pile of loans with his arms folded and said: In addition to his own real estate company, the other party seems to be running a hugely profitable business such as loan sharking behind his back.
Regarding these matters, Mr. Tsukano, do you know? After Kujo Reiko stood up, she immediately looked at Tsukano Yu who had a close relationship with the deceased and asked.
Hearing this, Tsukano Hiro quickly shook his head, and then explained: The president has never mentioned these things, let alone those related to borrowing.
Well, I think so. After all, it is an illegal activity, so it should be kept secret. Mouri Kogoro agreed after hearing this.
Please take him to the next room to talk about the specific situation in detail. Kujo Reiko heard this and looked at her assistant.
Kujo Reiko took the initiative to take the person away, but Karasawa and others did nothing to stop her, because this was a slightly far-fetched excuse to get rid of the other party.
After all, Tsukano Kyou has already stated that he doesn't know, so even if he continues to ask questions, he probably won't be able to find out the reason.
The main reason why the assistant was asked to take him away was to avoid the pressure and worries that Tsukano Kyou's presence would cause when he asked Hara Yukie, so he sent her away.
After all, the other party was the brother of the deceased's wife, and no one knew whether there was any conflict of interest between the two.
Of course, no one knows whether Tsukano Kyou will influence Hara Yukie's answer, but from this small matter, we can also see Kujo Reiko's meticulousness.
After all, this was just a possibility, but Kujo Reiko thought of this and killed this possibility in advance.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a prosecutor, and his personality is cautious enough.
When the assistant left with Tsukano Hiro, Xiaolan who was beside her also hurriedly ran out with her mobile phone, obviously going to inform Feili about the big news they discovered here.
Reiko Kujo then looked at Yukie Hara and said, "Excuse me, do you know the things behind President Ishigaki's painting?"
No, this is also the first time I know that there are actually these things hidden in this painting.
Hara Yukie shook her head repeatedly: Although I clean the master's study, I don't come in often.
Moreover, this is a study room, where important documents of the company will be stored. The master once specifically told me not to touch anything except cleaning.
Hara Yukie’s answer did not exceed everyone’s expectations.
, after all, the other party is older and is just a simple housekeeper, so it is normal for her not to know about the affairs of Ishigaki Chufu.
It seems that President Ishigaki has done a good job of keeping the loan sharking matter confidential.
Tang Ze on the side heard this and said: But there is one thing that I can be sure of.
The person who moved this painting should not be the suspect Toshio Iwamatsu.
After all, if he hangs the painting upside down, it proves that he has discovered the secret behind the painting and will directly take away his loan contract.
Not necessarily, at least Toshio Iwamatsu did come to the Ishigaki family's mansion to steal with a purpose.
Mouri Kogoro retorted: If we say that he came in for the purpose of stealing, and then happened to bump into President Ishigaki who was returning home, he panicked and killed him.
After that, the time he had to steal the loan contract was greatly reduced. When he was picking up the painting, Yukie Hara happened to come over to check on the situation.
In a panic, he could only hang up the painting in a hurry and run away, right?
But there was time to hang the painting back up, so why not just take it away? Conan asked with a smile.
As I said, he just finished killing someone and his head was bleeding and he couldn’t think of so much! Do you understand?
Mouri Kogoro was not happy with his words being refuted one after another, so he happened to be confronted by Conan, a tough guy, with a rhetorical question, and he yelled impatiently.
