Takasugi Yuuto died.
Under the leadership of Takagi Wataru, Conan and Mouri Kogoro came to the seminar room in the teaching building of the Law Department.
Because the police had just arrived, the scene here had not yet been investigated and recorded, so everything in the room was still as it was when the police arrived.
Entering the seminar room, there was a closed window on the wall facing the door, and the curtains were drawn, making the room a little dark.
In the center of the room, there was a small glass coffee table that was only knee high. There was a small bottle with a nozzle on the coffee table. Conan glanced at the trademark on the bottle. It was the kind sold in shops outside. oxygen cylinder.
This type of oxygen bottle is very common and can also be seen in general sports competitions. The bottle is filled with compressed oxygen, which can be sprayed out by pressing the button on the bottle.
Behind the coffee table is a short sofa that is not too long.
On the sofa, a young man with yellow hair is lying. The young man is lying flat on the sofa. The expression on his face is very peaceful. He has no shoes on his feet. The whole person looks as if he is just leaning on the sofa and falling asleep. There is no trace of it at all. Anything out of the ordinary.
This person is Yuto Takasugi, the victim who was suffocated to death in an unusually weird manner according to Officer Takagi.
"It really doesn't look like he was suffocated to death..."
Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, bent down and carefully observed Yuto Takasugi who looked peaceful as if he was sleeping, and murmured.
"This is the first time I have seen someone suffocate to death so peacefully... Mr. Takagi, how many people are usually in this seminar room?"
"In addition to the deceased, there are three other people, namely the deceased's mentor and two classmates from the same department." Takagi Wataru replied.
"Then who was the first person to discover it?"
"It's the deceased's classmate. His name is Suzumura Rin. It is said that he is the deceased's girlfriend... Oh, and there is also Takashi Himuro. Like Suzumura Rin, he is also the first discoverer."
"Himuro Takashi?" Mouri Kogoro turned to look at him.
"Well, Mr. Himuro is a cleaner at Teitan University. When Suzumura Rin discovered that the deceased was murdered, he happened to be cleaning the air conditioner in the corridor. He was also the one who called for an ambulance and called the police at that time." Wataru Takagi explained.
It was lunch break when Yuto Takasugi was killed. Most of the university students were eating in the cafeteria, and the other three people in the seminar room were no exception.
Among them, Suzumura Rin seemed to have left the cafeteria early and returned to the teaching building in order to bring lunch to Takasugi Yuto.
And she was also the first person to discover that Yuto Takasugi had been killed. Her screams attracted the cleaner Takashi Himuro who was cleaning the air conditioner in the nearby corridor at the time. Takashi Himuro then arrived and immediately called the police and an ambulance. .
This is probably what happened when the crime occurred.
"Then where are these people now?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"I gathered them into the associate professor's room next door, and they are all there now."
While Mouri Kogoro and Takagi Wataru were talking, Conan quickly observed the entire seminar room.
The windows and curtains were closed, making it impossible to see inside the room from the outside.
In the center of the room is the sofa and low coffee table where Takasugi Yuto is lying.
On the other side, there are three sets of tables and chairs placed against the wall. It seems that they should belong to the three university students in this seminar room.
Of the three sets of tables and chairs, two of them were relatively clean and tidy, but the other set was very messy, with a lot of garbage sealed in plastic bags piled under the table.
Thanks to the garbage, there was a strange smell in the whole room.
"Let's go, let's go to the associate professor's room first to find out the specific situation..."
Not seeing anything from the scene, Mouri Kogoro said to Takagi Wataru.
"good."
Taking Mouri Kogoro with him, Takagi Wataru opened another door in the seminar room and walked directly to the associate professor's room next door.
"So these two rooms are connected together?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, the two Maori followed Takagi Wataru to the associate professor's room next door.
There were three people sitting in the room, two men and one woman.
Among them, the gentle-looking woman wearing glasses and a necklace around her neck was the first discoverer, Suzumura Rin, the girlfriend of the deceased Takasugi Yuto.
The middle-aged man next to her with a stubble who looked to be in his thirties was called Kunimatsu Shogo. He was a quasi-professor, the director of this seminar room, and the mentor of these people.
And the last one, a young man with the same yellow hair as Takasugi Yuto, dressed casually, and looking like a street kid, is Meguroto, who is also a university student in this seminar room.
"Officer Takagi, what about Mr. Himuro?" Conan asked.
Everyone in the seminar room is here now, but according to what Takagi Wataru just said, there should be a cleaner named Himuro Takashi who is also involved in this incident.
"Oh, Mr. Himuro has been applying to the school to interrupt business recently. He just went to the principal's office again and will be back later..." Takagi Wataru explained.
After briefly understanding the identities of the people in the room, under the arrangement of Takagi Wataru, Mouri Kogoro began one-on-one questioning of these people.
"Hello, Meguroto-san."
After letting Suzumura Rin and Kunimatsu Shogo temporarily go to the seminar room next door, accompanied by Takagi Wataru, Mouri Kogoro showed a kind smile towards the yellow-haired Meguro.
"Hello! Please give me some advice!"
Meguroto seemed very nervous. He glanced at Mouri Kogoro and Takagi Wataru beside him with some uneasiness, and weakly tried:
"Um, police, police officers, are you doubting me?"
"Don't worry, it's not to this level yet. It's just that the information right now is insufficient, so we want to ask you some questions individually."
It was Mouri Kogoro who answered him.
"Okay, Meguroto-san, what is the relationship between you and the deceased Takasugi Yuto?"
"Well, that's just an ordinary, relatively good friend. We used to go out together to drink, play games, etc..."
"before?"
"Yes, yes, because ever since Yuuto took leave to work part-time at Narizawa Detective Agency, we have not gotten along well..."
"Do you mean there will be quarrels?"
"No!"
Meguroto immediately denied it and said with some excitement: "We didn't quarrel! It's just that he often rejected me when I asked him to go out to play!
And, and he didn’t pay back the money he lent..."
"Borrow money?"
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro quickly asked: "You mean, the deceased borrowed money from you before?"
"Yes, I borrowed it several times this semester, but I didn't pay it back every time..."
"its not right……"
After hearing what he said, Mouri Kogoro suddenly frowned.
"The deceased must have been relatively well-off financially, right? He told me yesterday that someone in the school stole 100,000 yuan from him and entrusted me to come over and help him catch the thief..."
"Mr. Maori, is this still happening?" Takagi Wataru asked in surprise.
"Well, to be honest, I came to Didan University today just to handle this commission."
"impossible!"
After hearing what Mori Kogoro said, Meguroto quickly shouted:
"Don't I know something about Yuu Dou? He has always spent money lavishly! He can't save even 50,000 yuan, let alone 100,000 yuan! Absolutely impossible!
Moreover, he borrowed money from me once when he returned to school two days ago. Where did he get 100,000 yuan for others to steal? "
[If Meguroto didn't lie, then Takasugi Yuto lied and wanted to trick his uncle into going to school? 】
After hearing Meguroto's words, Conan thought deeply.
"Ahem! We'll talk about things unrelated to the case later."
After coughing twice, Mouri Kogoro continued to ask: "Meguroto-san, where were you and what were you doing before and after the death of the deceased?"
"Well, there's nothing special... I just went to the cafeteria to eat with Xiao Rin and the teacher as usual. Then Xiao Rin finished eating first, and then she went to the convenience store to buy a lunch box for Yuto and brought it back to him, waiting for me When I came back from the cafeteria with the teacher, I found Rin-chan crying in her arms with Yuuto in the seminar room..."
"Did Sister Suzumura come back alone?" Conan keenly noticed the clues in his words.
"Ah? Ah, yes, Xiaolin has been helping Yuto bring food for the past two days, so she always comes back first."
"Then why doesn't Brother Takasugi go to the cafeteria with you? Is it because you don't want to be with him?" Conan asked again.
"No! Yuuto didn't want to! We went there together the day before yesterday, and then we stayed in the seminar room and didn't go out. We didn't exclude him!"
[Are you staying in the seminar room and not going out? 】
When Conan heard this, a strange light reflected on the lenses of his glasses.
After Meguroto, the next person to come in was Suzumura Rin.
"Hello, Suzumura-san." Mouri Kogoro still had that kind smile.
Suzumura Rin has soft facial features and a very gentle temperament. She comes across as a standard Yamato Nadeshiko woman.
The only thing that seemed a little inconsistent was the necklace around her neck. This somewhat avant-garde fashion dress slightly broke her soft temperament.
"Hello, Officer Takagi, and Mr. Mori."
Suzumura Rin sat down on the chair opposite and nodded to the two of them.
The expression on her face looked very calm, without much sadness like after "her boyfriend was killed."
"Suzumura-san, what is your relationship with the deceased?" As usual, Mouri Kogoro asked this question first.
"They are classmates and we are dating..." Suzumura Rin answered directly.
"Well, does that mean they are lovers?"
"Yes, but recently... I have become a little distant."
"What's the meaning?"
"We are in the law department here. Originally, Yuu Dou and I both wanted to take the bar exam. However, due to the policy adjustments in the past two years, it has become much more difficult to take the bar exam than before. So Yu Dou gave up on himself and wanted to go Be a detective..."
"Understood."
Nodding, Mouri Kogoro continued to ask: "Then where were you this morning? What were you doing?"
"I came to the seminar room as usual this morning, and Yuto was sleeping on the sofa as usual.
I remember that it was almost lunch break, and Yuuto woke up once, but he probably hadn’t slept enough yet, so he took some oxygen as usual and went back to sleep..."
"Are you going to take oxygen after you wake up?"
"Well, Yuuto has a problem, that is, he always has a headache when he first wakes up. It seems that someone at his job taught him that breathing oxygen can relieve headaches, so he developed the habit of breathing oxygen after waking up.
But he seemed to be very sleepy today. He just took a sip, put down the oxygen bottle and went back to sleep. At that time, we saw that he fell asleep again, so we didn’t call him and went to the canteen first..."
【well? 】
Suddenly, Conan suddenly noticed a detail and asked quickly:
"Sister Suzumura, are you saying that Brother Takasugi threw his oxygen bottle on the ground?"
"Yes, that's what I remember." Suzumura Rin nodded.
【wrong! I remember when we first entered the seminar room, the oxygen bottle was clearly placed on the coffee table! 】
At the same time, Takagi Wataru on the side also noticed something unusual.
"That's not right. When the police first arrived at the scene, the oxygen bottle was clearly placed on the coffee table..."
"well?"
Hearing this, Suzumura Rin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and frowned slightly.
"Strange, I remember... it seemed that after I came back from lunch, the oxygen bottle... seemed to have been placed on the coffee table. It was obviously dropped on the ground before we left. Could it be that Yuto woke up again during this period? Yet?"
【No. 】
When Conan heard this, his expression gradually became serious.
Rather than saying that Takasugi Yuto woke up again during this period, he was more inclined to believe that someone entered the seminar room during this period and used the oxygen bottle to do something to Takasugi Yuto.
And these hands and feet are probably the cause of Takasugi Yuto's strange suffocation!
Opposite Conan, "Rin Suzumura" looked at Conan who was deep in thought with a solemn expression. A trace of doubt and surprise suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes.
[It’s this kid again... With this pensive look on his face, who are you? 】
"..."
"By the way, where's the Kawai Prime Minister? Where did you take her?"
In the car on the other side, in order to resolve the weird atmosphere in the car, Belmod changed the topic.
"I don't know, where will she be?"
Bai Heqing seemed to have returned to normal, yawned and leaned back on the seat behind him.
"Don't know? Haha..." Belmod glanced at him, "Maybe you don't want to tell me, right?"
"really."
Bai Heqing nodded honestly.
"After all, it's a more important matter, and I'm afraid you'll leak it."
This sentence immediately silenced Belmodegan.
"Of course, if you really want to know, I can tell you."
The conversation changed again. Bai Heqing looked at her and said with a smile:
"Anyway, even if it is really leaked, it will be difficult for those people to find her."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that she is not in Japan now, and I moved her abroad."
"Where's Rum?"
"That's half right. To be more precise, it's left to Hennessy..."
While talking, Bai Heqing took out his mobile phone from his bag.
It seemed like someone had just sent him a message.
Who is the one?
Ah, it's rum.
Hennessy, a cadre of the organization abroad, thanks the group members for providing the vest∠( ∠)＿
Ah, this chapter is two in one, the third update is included here (﹃)
