In the corridor at the door, when he saw Qin Zhibo appearing at the suspect's home, the shock on Conan's face was not concealed at all.
He calmed down for a moment, then quickly looked at the foreign woman standing next to Qin Zhibo.
The woman has a broad frame and a tall figure, making her look stronger than most women.
He has a delicate face but is as cold as ice, with short wavy blond hair and a bunch of spiral curls between his dark green eyes.
This woman is...
Conan frowned slightly, feeling that this woman seemed familiar, as if he had seen her before somewhere.
At this moment, the three little ones and Hui Yuan Ai who were not far away heard the noise and came over.
"Conan, what's wrong?"
Several people came over, followed Conan's line of sight and saw the room, and immediately cheered, "It's Uncle Qin!"
But Hui Yuan Ai's eyes only glanced at Qin Zhibo, then he spotted the foreign woman.
this……
Looking at the hairstyle and face that were almost the same as her own, as well as the same cold temperament as her own, Haihara Ai was stunned.
Akai Marie in the room also caught a glimpse of Haibara Ai standing among the elementary school students, her eyes moved slightly and her eyebrows lowered.
This glance seemed like thousands of years had passed.
Both of them felt like they were looking into a mirror, and what was reflected in the mirror was their childhood and grown-up selves.
Conan glanced at Mary, then at Haiyuan Ai, and his pupils trembled instantly.
He wanted to understand why he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Isn't this an enlarged version of Haiyuan?
Who is this guy?
Just when Conan wanted to investigate further, Qin Zhibo had already walked out, pushed Haneda Hideyoshi out of the door, and closed the door with his backhand.
…
Under Miike Miaozi's explanation, Qin Zhibo quickly figured out the situation.
It turned out that at noon today, Miike Naeko and Miyamoto Yumi were patrolling the streets as usual and met the young detective team who were returning home from school.
The two sides chatted for a while. During the process, Miike Naeko received a call from a classmate in elementary school. She heard that a murder had occurred at the place where the maid was working.
So, adhering to the principle of roaring when encountering injustice, the Young Detective Team came over on their own initiative.
Miike Naeko and Miyamoto Yumi from the Ministry of Transportation also came over, adhering to the principle of a dog meddling in a mouse's own business.
The two parties conducted an investigation at the deceased's home and found some suspicious points.
These doubts point to Haneda Hideyoshi, who lives next door, as the suspect.
What a coincidence, Haneda Hideyoshi is the boyfriend of Miyamoto Yumi...
"No!"
"It's just an ex-boyfriend~"
"I've got rid of him!"
Faced with the three little ones' messy mandarin duck charts, an angry Miyamoto Yumi immediately corrected them.
This caused Haneda Hideyoshi's expression to change instantly. He pursed his lips and rolled away his half-moon eyes.
Qin Zhibo looked at the sullen expression on Miyamoto Yumi's face and her emphasis on the fact that she had dumped Haneda Hideyoshi, and immediately guessed that the real situation was the opposite.
It was probably Haneda Hideyoshi who dumped Miyamoto Yumi, but the latter said so out of consideration for his own face.
But Haneda Hideyoshi probably hasn’t forgotten Miyamoto Yumi yet…
At this moment, Qin Zhibo's phone vibrated in his pocket.
When I picked up the phone, I found out it was Akai Marie from next door.
"Don't hang up the phone..."
Akai Marie expressed her thoughts in a simple sentence, even she wanted to hear the progress of the case here.
So, Qin Zhibo calmly put the phone into the outer pocket of his jacket.
And this scene was also caught in Conan's eyes.
Instead of putting the phone back in my trouser pocket, I put it in my jacket pocket...
why is that?
And why does that foreign woman look so similar to Haihara Ai?
Qin Zhibo said before in London that Hui Yuan Ai's mother is probably still alive...
Could it be?
At this time, there were more footsteps outside the door.
It was Officer Megure who arrived with several generals from the First Search Section.
Officer Mumu, who had just walked into the crime scene, saw Qin Zhibo and Conan appear at the scene at the same time, and the familiar feeling suddenly returned.
"Brother Qin, it turns out you are here too~"
During this period of time when there was neither Brother Qin nor Brother Maori, Officer Mu Mu felt that his daily work had become more difficult.
Without my brother around, I won't be able to solve the case so easily.
Even my wife Xiaolu complained about why she came home so late all of a sudden.
Well, now, my brother is finally back!
…
At the request of Officer Memu, several people in the room introduced the case in detail.
The case occurred in Itami's house in Room 1800, which is next door to Haneda Hideyoshi.
This morning, Naganobu Itami, the male head of the Itami family, had a big quarrel with his wife Chiyoko Itami.
After the quarrel, in order to calm down his wife, Itami Naganobu and the maid Sakurako Yonehara who came to help went to the supermarket outside to buy ingredients for dinner.
About an hour later, when the two returned home, half an hour later they found that Chiyoko had hanged herself in the bedroom.
"May I ask why you and your wife quarreled...?"
Takagi asked Itami Naganobu while holding a small notebook to record.
Itami Naganobu wore dark glasses and drooped his eyelids as he answered: "It's stocks..."
"My wife has been addicted to stock trading recently. I just reminded her a little and she went crazy."
"When she gets mad, she likes to throw things around. She hit my left eye with something."
As he spoke, Itami Naganobu raised his finger and pointed at the red and swollen spot above his left eyelid.
And, he continued.
"But I think her son, who is about to graduate from college, has not found a job yet, which has made her very stressed. This should be one of the reasons why she committed suicide..."
Qin Zhibo looked at Itami Naganobu who calmly stated the reasons for his wife's suicide, and the expression on his face fell into deep thought.
First of all, he did not believe that he committed suicide.
After all, where Conan appears, if you want to meet someone who sincerely commits suicide, the probability is comparable to winning the lottery.
And judging from several details at the scene, it also proves that suicide is not established.
"wrong."
Qin Zhibo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned their attention to him, and he himself was already standing next to the body hanging under the chandelier.
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" Officer Mumu asked doubtfully.
Qin Zhibo looked at Chiyoko's body and "touched" it in front of everyone.
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of deceased: Chiyoko Itami]
[Time of death: more than 1 hour]
[Cause of death: suffocation caused by external pressure on the neck]
[Corpse investigation completed, character skill acquired: Throwing]
[Throwing: Throwing refers to your ability to hit the target by throwing objects. Improving this skill will allow you to have higher throwing accuracy and complete more complex throwing actions]
【Grade 1】
[Proficiency: 100/500]
【Everything can be invested!】
The moment he saw the new skill, Qin Zhibo was stunned.
Good guy!
Unexpectedly, what the deceased, who was addicted to stock trading, dropped was not a skill related to stock trading, but throwing...
It seems that when she gets angry, she doesn't just throw things around...
Qin Zhibo quickly adjusted his expression and continued: "Everyone, please look at the position of the deceased. If you look at the fallen chair over there, you will know that the deceased did not commit suicide."
Under Qin Zhibo's instructions, everyone took a look at the two.
Conan's eyes changed and he immediately understood what Qin Zhibo meant.
Although I also saw that the deceased did not commit suicide, I really did not expect this.
The policeman looked back and forth several times and still didn't understand what Qin Zhibo meant.
"Brother Qin, I can see that the chair was used by the deceased to rest his feet..."
"But how can we tell from this that the deceased did not commit suicide?"
At this time, Takagi had an idea and guessed: "Is it because the height of this chair cannot reach the feet of the deceased?"
The height of the stepping objects cannot reach the height of the deceased's feet, which is a classic way to rule out suicide.
But Qin Zhibo shook his head slightly.
"No, the height is enough, and there is even some extra."
"The key question is where the chair falls."
"If it was a real suicide, there is absolutely no way that this chair, which was used as a stepping stone, would have fallen here."
After Qin Zhibo's reminder, people in the room gradually realized.
Although the height of the chair's legs was reasonable, the position where it fell was 1.5 meters diagonally in front of the deceased.
Generally, people who hang themselves only need to kick down the objects on which they stand, and they won't kick things that far.
The deceased's left arm was injured and is still in a plaster. His body cannot easily exert force, let alone make such large-scale movements.
"You must have noticed it..."
"This chair, which was used as a stepping stone, was kicked too far, which is not normal."
"Also, if this chair was kicked down by the deceased, the angle at which it fell would be at least irregular..."
"The backrest of this chair is completely parallel to the wall, but there is a diagonal line between the chair and the deceased. Unless the deceased is Conan, ordinary people will never be able to create such a tricky angle."
Qin Zhibo explained to everyone, and also cue Conan's tricky skills.
This made Conan lose a half-moon eye.
Just reason as you reason, @What am I doing?
Mu Mu listened to Qin Zhibo's explanation, and although he felt a little feverish, he still roughly understood it.
"So that means this case was not a suicide, but a homicide?"
"Um."
Qin Zhibo nodded and continued: "And the murderer should be someone close to the deceased."
The moment his eyes rested on Itami Naganobu, the latter's eyes subconsciously dodge.
This made Qin Zhibo once again confirm that this time it should be a proof question.
"Brother Qin, you said the murderer was someone close to you, what's going on?" Officer Mumu asked again.
Qin Zhibo came to the dressing table, took the notebook placed on it, and compared it with the suicide note at the foot of the corpse.
This suicide note was written on a page torn from a notebook.
The general meaning of the above content is "I regret causing my husband to be injured", "I am worried about my son's exam", "An unfilial daughter must take the first step" and so on.
But when Qin Zhibo took out the notebook for comparison, the marks on the edge of the suicide note did not correspond to the marks on the remaining paper in the notebook.
"Everyone, please take a look."
"The paper in this suicide note was not torn from this notebook at all."
"If the murderer forged the suicide note on the spot, or it was written by the deceased himself, then the traces on it should be consistent."
"But now there is no match, which means that the murderer prepared this suicide note in advance, and then tore a certain page of the notebook into something like this..."
"As for why he prepared the suicide note in advance, it should be that the murderer had already guessed that the police might conduct handwriting identification on the suicide note."
Mu Mu's eyes widened, "Brother Qin, are you saying that this suicide note was forged by the murderer in advance?"
"No." Qin Zhibo shook his head, "This suicide note should indeed be written by the deceased himself."
"Why?"
"Because if the murderer forged the suicide note in advance, then the edges of the suicide note would not be torn out neatly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room suddenly realized.
Especially Conan, his pupils lit up as if he was enlightened.
yes!
Why didn't I think of this?
Conan had previously determined that the deceased did not commit suicide based on the fact that the edge of the suicide note did not match the edge of the notebook.
But he only reasoned to this extent.
However, Qin Zhibo was able to dig deeper on this basis and deduce that this suicide note was prepared by the murderer in advance and written by the deceased himself.
Since the paper of the suicide note had been identified, the murderer could not remove the flaws at the edges and could only deliberately tear out similar marks on the notebook.
In this way, the murderer can only be someone close to the deceased, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain this suicide note.
"In other words, the murderer first obtained the suicide note from the deceased in some way, and then killed the deceased."
Qin Zhibo picked up the suicide note at the feet of the deceased and continued to analyze: "Judging from the notes on this suicide note, the handwriting is not neat and crooked. It looks like it was written in a very emotional state or in an emergency..."
"But it was clearly an emergency, but the deceased wrote his full name 'Chiyoko Itami'."
"But the other messages in the trash can only contain the words 'Chiyoko'..."
"The only situation I can imagine is that the deceased was in some kind of crisis situation, so critical that he had to leave his last words in advance."
"The purpose of writing down the last name and first name is to make it easier for others to identify who wrote the last words when they find this last note."
"Combining these two points, the deceased may have been almost killed in a plane or ship accident, but was lucky to survive in the end..."
As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, the helper Sakurako Yonehara suddenly thought of something.
"I remember Madam once said that she is a lucky person blessed by God..."
Upon hearing this, Officer Megure turned to look at Itami Naganobu and asked, "What's going on?"
"Well... I do this too..."
Itami Naganobu frowned and hesitated to speak.
But Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and went straight to the general.
"Since Mr. Itami can't remember it, it doesn't matter."
"I think as long as we investigate the travel records of the deceased and combine it with the dangerous incidents of airplanes or ships in recent years, we should be able to find something."
