Conan Super Detective

However, when it was time for dinner, Xiaolan who went to call the door still did not get Lihua’s response. Everyone realized that something was wrong, and Dongma also caught the blood that was still hidden in the blood of live poultry at this time. The bloody smell of human blood.

"Hey! Aren't you asleep?" Kogoro complained.

"But, she isn't the type that keeps guests waiting?" Katsuragi rubbed his chin and asked in confusion.

Then it seemed to be suspicious, so he immediately got up and said, "Mr. Kamijou, Mr. Mori, let's go up and see the situation together!"

So counting Clara and Tamura, everyone came to Lihua's room on the second floor, but the room still didn't respond to the door call.

"The door is locked..." Kogoro turned the door handle and said solemnly.

"Will something happen? Let's go to the balcony and see what's going on inside!"

Katsuragi also seemed to be anxious, and immediately led everyone to the balcony.

And his hunch was not wrong, because when everyone rushed to the balcony and looked inside through the window, they suddenly found that Lihua was hit in the stomach.

The luxuriously decorated room was in a mess at this time, and it seemed obvious that it had gone through a fight.

"Damn it! Can't open it!"

Kogoro, who tried to dismantle the anti-theft iron fence outside the window, tried for a long time and found that he couldn't dismantle it at all.

When Dongma just wanted to do it, Katsuragi suddenly said: "The skylight on the room should be able to knock! I'll climb up and try it now!"

He didn't wait for everyone to respond, and climbed up the arched wall alone.

After he kicked the glass with purple stripes and Scorpio pattern on the skylight, he adjusted to the glass slag all over the floor under everyone's attention, and quickly picked up the keys scattered on the ground. One hand, opened the door of the room in one go.

When Dongma came in, he had turned back and ran to Lihua's corpse, crying sadly and shaking the long-lost corpse.

Soon the night shift Miwako and others led the team to the scene. The forensic and autopsy class quickly came to the conclusion, "The estimated time of death of the deceased should be three hours to three and a half hours ago..."

Ono looked at his watch and said, "Then the time for the crime is around five o'clock in the afternoon..."

"But why did you smash the skylight to come in and get the key to open the door? Is there no spare key?" Miwako asked suspiciously after looking at the scene.

Katsushige replied, "Maybe Shiraishi, a disciple of Teacher Lihua, because she is also responsible for taking care of Teacher Lihua's daily life."

However, Dongma suddenly saw that a special feather of a red-ribbed blue-tailed robin was crushed under the layers of debris.

And when he saw the rare bird passing by this villa, it was around 5:30, which seemed a little strange...

At this time, Miwako and others found Shiraishi Yuhua to ask, but Shiraishi gave an answer that was completely opposite to that of Katsuragi.

"No, only Teacher Lihua owns the key to that room. Because it is an important ceremonial place for the teacher, so unless it is a Ken who is preparing for divination, I usually can't go in casually..."

Listening to Shiraishi’s explanation, Katsuragi was a little surprised, and Kogoro immediately said, “Miss Shiraishi, as the closest person to the deceased’s life, you should have the opportunity to have a spare key, right?”

Katsuragi seemed to be a little suspicious of Shiraishi, and immediately said, "Shiraishi-kun, you don’t hold a grudge against Lihua because Mr. Lihua opposed your writing for the divination column of the magazine? And if I remember correctly, after Mr. Lihua died. , All her property will be inherited by your only relative, right?"

"Sure enough, the prisoner should be Miss Baishi. The motives and modus operandi are very sufficient, just looking for the opportunity to have a spare key..."

However, Kogoro's seemingly positive reasoning was quickly interrupted by Ono.

"Master Dongma, and everyone, according to the appraisal results, this key is a special recessed key. Only the manufacturer can provide the key. The ID number and credit card number must be provided, so people other than the victim should provide it. It is almost impossible to use the key."

"How come?! In this way, this case has become a back room murder again!"

"Is it possible that Mr. Katsuragi secretly exchanged his real key with the fake key on the ground after entering the room?" Ono questioned.

However, this time it was Kogoro's turn to shook his head, "No, Dongma and I saw the whole process of Mr. Katsuragi entering the room, but did not notice that he secretly changed the key."

Meihezi had no choice but to ask everyone's alibi.

After Zijo left the living room to go to his room, Shiraishi and Katsuragi talked about the column for two or three minutes, and then Shiraishi angrily went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, which Xiaolan who helped in the kitchen can prove this.

However, after Shiraishi, Katsuragi talked with someone from the publishing house on the phone for a while, and returned to the living room after five o'clock.

As for Tamura, since Zijo left the living room, he has been in the living room with Kogoro, which seems to be the least suspect.

But when asked about Clara...

Chapter 1098 Broken Constellation Map (5) Sixth

"That...I'm the same as them..." Clara lowered her head hesitantly and said.

However, Kogoro immediately stood up and said, "Speaking of which, I remember that I went to the toilet once after five o'clock. On the way in the past, I saw Miss Midorikawa, you just came down the stairs on the second floor, right? "

"Well, just because it happened to be the time to make an appointment to help me fortune telling!" Clara immediately defended.

However, Tamura seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and immediately asked, "Could it be that Miss Clara took advantage of that time to give the teacher..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Why should I do this!" Clara retorted very confidently.

However, he did not expect that Tamura just hesitated and immediately added: "Ms. Midorikawa, I happened to see Miss Midorikawa coming out of Mr. Zijo’s room last month due to work reasons. , Growled angrily,'That woman, I will kill her sooner or later!'"

"Kill her? Why on earth?" Katsuragi asked in surprise.

Clara saw that she couldn't refute, so she directly explained the reason.

Clara seemed to recall the unbearable past, and gritted her teeth and said: "Lihua is a very excessive woman! At first she approached me with a friendly face, but she used the opportunity of divination to compose my words from my mouth. By this, I grabbed my handle, and then turned my face to deny people, and directly took a lot of money from me in the name of divination fees. When I wanted to completely separate from her, she said that she wanted to The media exposed-my business..."

"So that's the extortion..." Miwako nodded, which was considered a sufficient motive for killing.

"So you killed her in desperation, right?" Kogoro asked.

However, Clara shook her head firmly and said: "No! I didn't kill her! And when I went to her room, she should be alive at the time, because she said in the room,'I'm at work, what can I do? Say it again,'and then I came back and met Mr. Maori."

"Can anyone prove it?" Miwako asked seriously.

"I don't need any proof, I already know who the murderer is!" Dongma sneered and interrupted Miwako's questioning.

"Nani? Master Dongma, do you already know the murderer?" Miwako asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Dongma raised his chin slightly, looking down at the crowd like a god, as if he was choosing his next trial method.

The object of the trial has been decided from the beginning!

"The method of this case is not complicated. After that, the prisoner who killed Lihua left the room where the crime was committed with the key and locked the door. Then he climbed onto the roof, broke a part of the skylight glass, and then threw the key. Go into the room."

"And the forensic class should have shown you the red-rib blue-tailed robin feather found at the crime scene, and this feather fell into the room from that hole, so it was pressed = under the glass... "

"The evidence for what I say is that there is no key red shard in the collection of glass shards left at the scene! The red five-pointed star shard that represents the main star of Scorpio, Antares!"

"The reason why the prisoner designed the apparently homicide scene as a secret room was to give it to Miss Shiraishi! Because the prisoner always thought that Miss Shiraishi, who had been living here, as a disciple and niece, should be able to hold it. There is a backup key for the room! But in fact, Miss Shiraishi does not have a key, so she became a so-called secret room!

Listening to Dongma's analysis and reasoning, everyone nodded convincingly, and Ono even said: "Then the prisoner is still Miss Luchuan?"
