"Dad! Ahhhhh!!"
On the balcony of the president's office, Kenta held the hand of the dead Owada Ichiro, crying and wailing.
Behind him, Shan Qizhe's eyes were also filled with tears.
"Master, why...we have gone through all kinds of hardships and finally reached the twentieth anniversary. You clearly told me that we will work together in the future. Why did you commit suicide..."
【Suicide? 】
After hearing what Shan Qizhe said, Karasuma Ying lowered her eyes and thought.
Indeed, during the first wave of fireworks, President Owada was still in the observation room on the 48th floor. When the second wave of fireworks rose, he had hanged himself outside the balcony of the president's office on the 53rd floor.
During this period, no one came close to these two floors. This really gave people the feeling that President Owada committed suicide...
"Xiaoying, what do you think?" Kuroba Kaito asked, still out of breath.
"It's too early to tell, but I personally think it's probably not suicide."
Karasumaying replied truthfully. When she said this, she glanced at Kuroba Kaito subconsciously.
【Um? 】
Looking at "Officer Sato" who was still breathing, she suddenly felt confused.
[Obviously the breathing is so serious, why doesn’t Officer Sato have a drop of sweat on his face? 】
Not noticing Karasuma Ying's eyes, Kuroba Kaito calmed down his breathing and said immediately:
"Xiaoying, Officer Mumu and the others should be arriving soon. Before that, let's investigate the situation at the scene."
"good."
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Karasumaying came to the body of President Owada and gently patted Kenta, who was still crying.
"Kenta, my condolences."
"Ying?"
"Can I see my uncle's body?"
"Ying, do you think..."
"Trust me, I will find out the truth."
"good."
Looking at Karasumaying's serious eyes, Kenta stood up and nodded vigorously.
"I trust you."
He already knew when he was in the American Emperor that Karasuma Ying was very smart, especially talented in reasoning.
The two got to know each other when Karasuma Ying once solved a murder case at one of his art exhibitions.
"There are obvious strangulation marks on the neck, the body is still warm, and the heart stopped beating not long ago. It is estimated that the time of death was five to twenty minutes ago." After briefly observing the body, Kuroba Kaito said.
"Strange, this stain..."
Karasumaying keenly noticed that there was still a dark stain on President Owada's left chest on the kimono. This stain was very small and difficult to spot if you didn't look carefully.
"Officer Sato, are your hands clean?"
Kenta on the side heard this and said quickly: "Ying, this stain was there when I pulled dad up."
"There is a problem..." Kuroba Kaito heard this and raised his hand to touch his chin, "I will ask people from the forensics department to take samples later."
"Um……"
Nodding her head, Karasumaying stood up and took a general glance at the situation on the balcony.
"This potted plant..."
She noticed a broken potted plant on the floor on one side of the balcony.
Judging from the traces of dust on the outdoor casing of the air conditioner next to it, this potted plant should have been placed there originally.
Something is wrong.
This potted plant is slightly away from where President Owada hanged himself. If it were a normal hanging, President Owada would not be able to knock over this potted plant no matter how hard he struggles...
And the hemp rope used for hanging.
Put one end of the hemp rope around your neck, tie the other end to the guardrail, and then jump over the guardrail. This does require a longer rope, but...
"Xiaoying, look at the color of this kimono." Kuroba Kaito pointed at President Owada's kimono and said, "It's almost the same color as the wall outside the balcony."
Owada's kimono is dark blue, and the color of the balcony's outer wall is also dark blue. The colors of the two are very similar.
color? !
An idea flashed in her mind, and Karasumaying suddenly realized something.
Clothes, rope, could it be...
"Thank you, Sato."
Just then, Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro walked in.
"Huh? Xiaoying? Are you here?" Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised when he saw Karasuma Ying. He seemed to be a little drunk.
"Officer Megure." Kuroba Kaito nodded towards Officer Megure.
"Okay, Sato, Brother Maori and I will take over here now. You and Sister Karasuma will go back to the West Tower venue first and pay attention to stabilizing the situation there."
"That's right, Xiaoying, go back quickly, Xiaolan is very worried about you..."
"good……"
Anyway, the scene had been roughly searched, and Karasumaying did not object to the persuasion of Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro.
The two of them, Kenta and Sugizhe, left the balcony and came to the president's room inside.
Among them, Shan Qizhe returned to the West Tower first, accompanied by a police officer.
The news of Owada Ichiro's death still required him to inform Mrs. Mityu over there.
As for Karasuma Ei and Kuroba Kaito...
"Okay! Leave the balcony to Officer Memu and the others, Xiaoying. How about we investigate this place now?"
Kuroba Kaito looked at Karasuma Ying and smiled.
"That's what I meant, Officer Sato." Karasuma Ying replied, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
There was obviously something wrong with Owada Ichiro's "suicide", but they had no intention of just going back.
"Okay, let's divide the work!"
"..."
The night was picturesque. Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the west tower, Chris was holding a glass of red wine and looking out the window leisurely.
She is very laid-back, which is normal, because her task tonight is to observe and confirm, and she is not the protagonist.
Those who waste their time on her are the real fools.
What she didn't expect was that such a simple task would lead to so many accidents.
Her face looks like she knows a lot of people?
Those two people, they were always in her face and causing trouble all day long. They were American movie stars, and their boyfriend cheated on her. Can they stop adding these weird experiences to her?
So much so that now she doesn’t even dare to go out with her face...
Really, could it be that certain people's disguise skills only caught her?
You two are truly a match made in heaven.
After letting go of her inner unhappiness, Chris sighed softly.
She is very tired now and in a bad mood. Her original appointment tonight has been postponed. She can only wait until she goes back to see if she can ask Regel for overtime pay to balance her unbalanced heart...
"Hey, Sister Chris, why are you here alone?"
A cute child's voice sounded beside her. Chrissy glanced down and found that Conan had appeared beside her at some point and was looking up at her with his big eyes blinking.
here we go again……
Looking at this guy, Kris once again complained about certain two people in her heart.
Here comes another person who knows her face.
It's really annoying...
