Chapter 845 I'm waiting for notification from the hospital. What are you waiting for?
Seeing Officer Memu turn around to ask Qin Zhibo and leave him alone, Mouri Kogoro's old face drooped, like a kiln lady who just watched her guest leave with someone else.
But in fact, it’s no wonder that Mouri Kogoro is not awake when he’s awake, and it’s the sleeping Mouri Kogoro who is worth relying on.
Moreover, Mouri Kogoro has the character of "a dog's belly can't hide two ounces of sesame oil". If there are any major clues, he will definitely tell them immediately without asking.
Qin Zhibo is different. He always collects clues quietly and then suddenly announces that the case has been solved.
Therefore, although Mumu doesn't understand reasoning, he understands my brother very well.
But even if Mu Mu took the initiative to ask this time, Qin Zhibo couldn't get any clues.
"I usually stand and watch. If I get tired of standing, I might sit down and watch."
Mumu: "..."
It's not that Qin Zhibo doesn't want to reveal the clues he has, but he really can't reveal them now.
When Yoshitomo Uemori was put into the ambulance, she was still breathing and was not dead.
When the victim is not dead, it is equivalent to the murderer not carrying a human life and unable to trigger system tasks.
If you tell what you saw at this time and let the police arrest Nishitani neatly, wouldn't you get nothing?
Seeing that Qin Zhibo couldn't come up with any reasoning, Mouri Kogoro straightened his clothes with his hands and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, judging from the stab wound on Mrs. Uemori's back, it is very likely that the murderer used an ice pick or something like that to stab her."
"When the lights were turned off, everyone heard someone opening the front door, so the criminals probably broke in from the outside."
"But it's hard for me to say that this gangster is not in this house now..."
After listening to Mouri Kogoro's judgment, Qin Zhibo was very impressed. As expected of a former police officer, this answer was perfect.
This appreciation is not meant to be sarcastic, but a true appreciation.
Because in all the cases where Conan was involved, when did the murderer invade from the outside? When was it not a few people inside the house?
But even so, Mouri Kogoro still adheres to such objective logic and does not rule out the possibility of external manipulation.
But ice axes are a bit nonsense. Not to mention that I didn't see that kind of large instrument in Nishitani's hand. Even an ice ax couldn't leave such small spots.
It was a murder weapon that was compact, easy to use, and had a sharp tip.
Maybe a wine corkscrew?
When the power was restored, Qin Zhibo looked at Xi Gu at first glance, but did not see anything on his hands.
He probably hid the murder weapon among his belongings when he crouched down in the dark.
"Well, everyone, don't leave this room just yet. Let's collect fingerprints at the front door first..."
At Moori Kogoro's suggestion, Megure planned to first search for any unfamiliar fingerprints on the door handle.
Since Nishitani was the last person to touch the door handle, the search starts with Nishitani’s fingerprints.
While the forensics section was working, Kogoro Mori once again reconstructed how the murderer committed the murder from the outside with great emotion.
Since the family was less vigilant and the front and rear doors were unlocked, the murderer could sneak in through the back door, set up a scheduled power outage, and then wait nearby.
When the lights in the cooking classroom suddenly went out, the murderer broke in through the front door, stabbed Yoshitomo Uemori in the back, and escaped the same way.
"But the classroom was dark at that time. How did the gangsters find Mr. Uemori's location?" Conan leaned out half of his body from behind Megure and asked doubtfully.
"Well..." Maori was startled, and then an idea came to his mind, "Mrs. Uemori must be wearing or attaching something that shines!"
As soon as this was said, he was immediately opposed by others in the classroom, saying that there was no such thing.
But Mouri Kogoro was so smart that he thought of another possibility.
"That means the murderer must be wearing equipment such as infrared night vision goggles. With that thing, he can see even in the dark..."
Qin Zhibo:Bingo!
Unfortunately, Kogoro Mouri guessed wrong. Those who wear night vision goggles are not necessarily murderers, and those who carry knives are not necessarily bad guys.
Conan was speechless about Kogoro Mouri's guess. How could such professional equipment be so easy to obtain?
And if the murderer broke in from outside, why couldn't there be any footprints on the floor?
The murderer shouldn't be so meticulous that he took off his shoes and entered the house, right?
At this time, the forensics section also collected the fingerprints, and the forensics officer Demi reported the results to Mumu.
"We carefully checked both the inside and outside of the door handle, but only Mr. Nishitani's fingerprints were found."
Mu Mu nodded clearly, "That means the murderer was probably wearing gloves when he committed the crime."
"But there's something strange..." Demi hadn't finished speaking, "The fingerprints collected on the outer door handle are relatively complete, but the fingerprints on the inner door handle seem to have disappeared."
"What!"
Hearing this, Mu Mu was shocked.
Although he was not good at reasoning, he still understood the meaning and immediately speculated: "If the murderer broke in and left from the outside, the fingerprints on the door handles on both sides should disappear."
"This shows that the murderer did not come in from outside. The murderer is indeed in this classroom!"
Mu Mu turned around and looked at the people in the classroom. Even Mao Lilan and Yuanzi were among the targets of scrutiny.
Just when everyone was under reasonable suspicion by the police, Minase Yomeng slowly raised his hand.
Mu Mu's eyes were startled and he quickly asked: "What? Could it be that you are the murderer?"
"What?" Everyone was shocked, but Minase Yomu quickly waved his hand.
"No...it's just that I saw it when the room was dark..."
Megure and Mouri Kogoro looked anxious and hurried to the front to ask: "What did you see?!"
"Seeing Mr. Nishitani standing behind Mrs. Uemori..."
"What!"
Everyone was startled and quickly turned to look at Nishitani Hiroaki. The people around him also subconsciously gave in half a step, leaving an exclusive C position for him.
Only Qin Zhibo looked at Minase Yomeng in surprise, because he was the only one who understood the meaning of Minase Yomeng's testimony.
Nishitani is indeed standing behind Yoshitomo Uemori, in order to kill people...
But why can Minase Harumu see it?
You must know that you are also wearing night vision goggles so that you can clearly see the situation at that time.
Could it be that Minase Harumu also has some kind of invisible night vision device?
In any case, the testimony provided by Minase Harumu immediately caused the investigation to take a turn for the worse, pointing the finger of the investigation at Nishitani.
Under the scrutiny of Megure and Mouri Kogoro, Nishitani Hiroaki's upper body trembled, his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He forced himself to calm down and opened his mouth to explain himself.
"How is this possible? The classroom was so dark at that time. How could I just be standing behind the teacher?"
"And in that kind of environment, how could the lady clearly see my face..."
This explanation was not unreasonable, and it was impossible for the police to believe all the testimonies, no matter whether they were reasonable or not, so they turned to look at Minase Yomu.
"Then how did you see Mr. Nishitani standing behind Mrs. Uemori? Can you explain it more clearly?"
"This..." Minase Yomeng hesitated, "I saw it like that..."
This Hanhu answer made Mumu narrow his eyes slightly and said seriously: "Miss, judging from your young age, you should still be in high school."
"But even if you are a minor, you will still be legally responsible for perjury!"
Under Mumu's stern scolding, Minase Yangmeng had tears in her eyes, pouted her lips, and ducked away, standing behind Qin Zhibo, looking pitiful.
Qin Zhibo, who knew Minase was not lying, saw this and took the initiative to cover up, "Actually, who is the murderer? All we need to do is find the murder weapon. We should check everyone's belongings now, right?"
Seeing that Qin Zhibo was willing to protect her, and that the girl was young and didn't know what she was doing, Mu Mu sighed and continued to follow the next procedure to search for personal belongings.
Everyone took out their personal belongings, which were nothing more than keys, recipes, pens, handkerchiefs, wallets, scarves...
The lost items of Miss Sunglasses are some special items, which are large folders and brushes.
With such a beautiful and practical item, Mouri Kogoro began to use his specialty - Secret Skill: Everything is a Weapon.
"I know! So that's it..."
A wise smile flashed at the corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth, and he looked at the sunglasses sister playfully, which made the sunglasses sister feel scared.
"Actually, the murderer was able to find Mrs. Uemori's location in the dark because she usually wore glasses like sunglasses, which allowed her to adapt to the darkness early."
"As for the murder weapon, you can just use the brush and folder you brought..."
Saying that, Kogoro Mouri reached out and opened the folder of the sunglasses girl, and the explanation and operation were carried out simultaneously.
"You insert a sharp iron rod into one end of the brush and use the brush as a handle to easily penetrate Mrs. Uemori's skin."
"The brush is right here, and the iron rod is...here!"
The moment he finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro opened the iron clasp in the middle of the folder, and the two rows of iron clasps opened with a click, like regular thorns on a flytrap.
But the gap inside was empty, and there was no so-called "iron rod" at all.
"How can it be?"
Mouri Kogoro was immediately dumbfounded, and Megure, who had some expectations in his heart, quickly lowered his eyelids.
How stupid I am to believe that the sober Mouri Kogoro...
Only then did the sunglasses girl explain that she wore sunglasses because she couldn't see the exciting lights.
Suspicious of the first person, Kogoro Mouri continued to use his imagination and said that his daughter-in-law, Kaoru, had been wearing an eye patch over her left eye. This must be to allow her left eye to adapt to the darkness first, and when there was a power outage, she would use her left eye patch.
Eyes and needles kill.
However, Kaoru opened his blindfold, and Kogoro Mori was greatly deflated again.
It turns out that under Xiaoxun's eyepatch is exactly what Qin Zhibo had guessed before. It's not a needle hole, let alone cosplayer Kaneki Ken, but a black eye socket.
"This was shot by my husband..."
Xiaoxun took the initiative to explain, "I think everyone here knows that my mother-in-law has been doting on her son, my husband Guangyan, since he was a child. The reason why he beat me yesterday was because I said bad things about my mother-in-law.
"
Mitsuhiko?
Conan frowned, it must be the same name.
Officer Mu Mu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from handling this case. Could he arrest the domestic violence man by the way?
"Then where is your husband now?"
"He went on a business trip to Hawaii this morning..."
Hawaii?
Another keyword appeared, touching Conan's nerves.
However, two consecutive suspicions from Mouri Kogoro also made Conan feel that it was unlikely that these two people committed murder.
The remaining ones are Nishitani and Komiyayama, but the one that attracts the most attention is Nishitani.
Why did Minase Yomu say that he saw Nishitani standing behind Yoshitomo Uemori?
Qin Zhibo's attitude is also a bit suspicious. It seems to be protective, but it feels like he acquiesces that Minase Harumu is telling the truth.
Um?
correct!
Conan suddenly had an idea and thought of something Qin Zhibo said to Minase Yomeng just before the cooking class was about to begin.
——"Some situations may happen later, but you don't need to be too nervous. It's just a detective's daily routine."
situation......
Could it be that at that time, Qin Zhibo conveyed a message to Minase Yomeng, asking her to pay attention to what happened after lights out?
But why did Qin Zhibo already know that the lights in the room would be turned off?
And even if you know to turn off the lights in advance, how can you see the situation in the room in the dark?
Could it be that Minase Yomu has night vision goggles on her body?
Conan looked at Minase Youmu's body with a suspicious expression, trying to figure out the reason.
This made Minase Yomeng, who was standing behind Qin Zhibo, suddenly alert and turned to look at Conan below.
The two looked at each other, making Conan feel embarrassed for a moment and turned his head to the side.
Minase Yangmeng turned his head without leaving any trace and said quietly to Qin Zhibo.
"Conan is looking at me."
"Um?"
Qin Zhibo showed an expression similar to that of "old man on the subway with his cell phone" and didn't understand how Minase Youmeng could say such words and words.
Conan is just a child, how could he have thoughts about you?
Or maybe Conan is just a child, so why do you think he thinks that way about you?
Qin Zhibo frowned and looked at Minase Youmeng, and then at Conan. He was about to go over to ask and clear up the misunderstanding, when Officer Megure over there suddenly made a surprised sound.
"What!"
"I see......"
Megure hung up the phone to his subordinates and regretfully announced to everyone, "Just a few minutes ago, Mrs. Uemori died of breathing difficulties caused by pulmonary hemorrhage."
"In this case, this piece of eucalyptus becomes a murder eucalyptus."
Megure tugged on the hat on his head with a deep expression on his face, as if he was learning from Hattori Heiji's behavior and switching to serious mode.
At the same time, a task prompt appeared on the side of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
[Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case]
[Task requirement: time limit of 10 minutes]
[Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit]
At the same time that the system task popped up, in Qin Zhibo's field of vision, the light of the investigation point flashed on Nishitani's personal belongings on the table.
The light grew brighter and brighter until its presence could no longer be ignored.
【Survey√】
[This is an ordinary ball pen, but it is still necessary to carefully check the pen barrel inside]
Seeing the investigation point, Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, and the truth was revealed.
I'm waiting for notification from the hospital. What are you waiting for?
