"Okay, please."
In the corner of the venue, Kuroba Kaito took the forensics department report and watched the forensics department police officer leave with a smile.
He did ask people from the forensics department to analyze the strange stain on President Owada's kimono, but he didn't expect them to move so quickly...
It seems that apart from being bad at arresting people and solving crimes, these police are still very capable in other aspects...
"Officer Sato, what is written in the report?" Karasuma Ying and Conan asked quickly.
"let me see."
Kuroba Kaito opened the report and read out the contents.
"The stain on the kimono is the body fluid of a giant crab spider. This is a spider that grows in Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. It is a very fast and timid spider.
Cancer spiders are beneficial insects that mainly eat cockroaches and other pests, but because of their long legs and scary appearance, they are not very popular...
Was the fluid on that kimono originally the body fluids of a spider? "
After closing the report, Kuroba Kaito was thoughtful.
"But why did spider body fluids appear on President Owada's kimono? Was he attacked by a spider?"
"This is impossible."
Haiyuan Ai suddenly appeared beside the three of them and said in a cold voice:
"A timid spider will never take the initiative to attack a human. I think it is more likely that a human took the initiative to come into contact with the spider."
"In other words, President Owada wanted to eliminate the spiders in the room, and in the process, he accidentally got the spider's bodily fluids on his clothes?" asked Kuroba Kaito.
"No, this shouldn't be possible..."
Haihara Ai rejected him again and took out the catalog of tonight's party issued by Ed Company from behind her back.
"It is mentioned in this brochure that President Owada hates bugs so much that he even changed the theme design of Ed Company this year from butterfly to heart shape."
Haihara Ai turned the page recording this incident in the venue journal to the three of them.
"It is impossible for such a person to kill spiders even if they soil their clothes."
"So, someone else actually placed the spider on President Owada's chest?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"There are too many suspicious coincidences. This is definitely not suicide." Conan said with certainty.
"But what method did the murderer use? And during the first wave of fireworks, President Owada was clearly in the observation room. During this period, what exactly was he..."
"Guys, what are you whispering about?"
Suddenly, Chris appeared behind the four of them holding another glass of red wine and asked with a smile.
【Belmod? ! When did she come here? 】
"What's the matter with you, Miss Chris?"
Moving slightly to block in front of a few people, Karasumaying looked at her expressionlessly and asked.
"It's nothing special, it's just that I noticed a strange place just now, so I'm a little curious..."
Standing next to the four people, Chris pointed to the old housekeeper Shan Qizhe who was talking to Mrs. Sandong not far away, and asked:
"Don't you think the old housekeeper looks a little strange compared to before?"
"strangeness?"
The four of them looked at what she pointed at. Among them, Kuroba Kaito, who often disguised himself, first noticed the abnormality.
"Gloves."
"What?" Karasuma Ying looked at him doubtfully.
"Butler Shanqi's gloves are missing."
After quickly recalling it in his mind, Kuroba Kaito said with great certainty:
"I remember clearly that when we were at the venue before, Butler Shanqi was still wearing a pair of white gloves on his hands, but those gloves are gone now.
But is there any problem with this? "
"Speaking of which, this old housekeeper is actually a poor person..."
Seeing the still confused expressions of the four people, Chris swung the red wine in the glass and said leisurely:
"I have heard a rumor before that housekeeper Shan Qi's wife seems to be seriously ill and needs long-term treatment. The cost of treatment is astronomical...
For this reason, Butler Shangqi has worked hard for the Owada family for many years, and even buying birthday gifts for President Owada’s lover is often done by him..."
"My love? Are you talking about Mrs. Sanfuyu?" asked Kuroba Kaito.
"No."
Smiling and shaking her head, Chris lowered her voice and said meaningfully:
"It's the housekeeper of the Owada family, Chie Mizumi."
"What?!"
The four of them were shocked by the news at the same time.
"Shhh."
Raising her index finger to signal the four of them to keep their voices down, Chris continued:
“Speak quietly, this is gossip, few people know about it.
Chie Shimizu is not an ordinary housewife. After the death of President Owada's ex-wife, she became the closest person to President Owada.
It can even be said that the two of them are actually a couple in name only.
So, when President Owada and now Mrs. Mityu got married, many people were surprised.
After all, before this, many people thought that President Owada would marry Chie Shimizu.
But what is even more unexpected is that after he married Mrs. Mityu, he would actually keep his "old lover" Shimizu Chie by his side as a housekeeper...
Tsk tsk tsk, so men are really greedy. "
"Miss Chris, do you know Chie Mizumi's birthday?" Suddenly thinking of something, Kuroba Kaito asked quickly.
"You guys should ask him about this..."
Chrissy gestured with her eyes to Shan Qizhe, who was not far away.
"After all, the conscientious old butler helps President Owada's real lover buy birthday gifts every year..."
"Walk."
After giving her a meaningful look, Karasumaying walked over first.
"Mr. Shanqi."
"Huh? Miss Karasuma? What's wrong?" Just after giving orders to a waiter, Shan Qizhe looked at the several people walking toward him at the same time in confusion.
"I would like to ask, Ms. Shimizu, the housekeeper of the Owada family, when is her birthday?"
"Uh, Miss Karasuma, you are asking this..."
"For investigation purposes, we think she is very likely to be the murderer of President Owada. Please cooperate and don't hide it." Kuroba Kaito said smoothly.
"What? Shimizu?! Didn't Officer Megure say..."
"Please cooperate."
"I understand... Her birthday should be June 28th." Shan Qizhe replied truthfully without asking any more questions.
"Understood, we will continue to investigate, thank you for your cooperation."
After receiving this news, several people turned around and were about to leave. At this moment, Karasuma Ying seemed to ask casually:
"By the way, Mr. Shanqi, why don't you wear gloves?"
"Oh, the composite doll sculpture in the banquet hall was blocking the way. I moved it, but I didn't notice that there was still some undried paint on it, so I accidentally soiled my gloves." Shan Qizhe said calmly. replied.
"Ah, that's it, I understand..."
Karasuma Ying nodded her head, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
Not only her, but Conan and Kuroba Kaito also showed the same expression at this moment.
Got you.
