Hoshino Sora's words made everyone fall into silence. There is indeed such a possibility, and the possibility is quite high!
Hattori said solemnly: "If it's like what you said, then the person who sent me the letter was Mrs. Wakamatsu, or... someone who was used by Mrs. Wakamatsu, maybe the maid, or another person who has a relationship with Mr. Wakamatsu. Very nice people!”
"However, there is also a problem. After the method was exposed, the clues and evidence pointed directly to her son. Although she is not the main culprit, the crime of cover-up is definitely inevitable..."
Mouri Kogoro shook his head: "There is no evidence that she is covering up. These are just our reasoning and analysis. As long as she insists that she did not notice the message before her death, there is nothing we can do to her. The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that her son is As for the murderer, as to whether she is an accomplice, it depends on her son’s confession!”
Hoshino Sora thought of a possibility and immediately said: "You said that when the police arrested the murderer, the murderer was already dead, so does it matter whether he is an accomplice?"
Everyone: "!!!"
"No! Let's go!" Hattori reacted suddenly, and with a frightened heart, he immediately stood up and ran outside.
If the murderer of Mr. Wakamatsu is killed and another person kills him, then the real mastermind can disappear from the first murder case. Even if everyone knows the identity of the mastermind in the end, there is no evidence. There is no way to convict him!
Yamato Kansuke on the other side hung up the phone and immediately contacted the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to explain the situation and ask them to cooperate.
…
evening.
Wakamatsu House.
When Hoshino Sora and his team arrived, they saw several police cars parked outside the door.
Hattori breathed a sigh of relief: "The police arrived before us, and it seems that the murderer has been arrested..."
"Something's not right!" Hoshino Sora looked at the mansion in front of him and found that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Everyone came to the door and met the guard at the door. The guard naturally knew the uncle and let him through without any obstruction, just like his colleague in the morning.
"Excuse me, what happened?" Mouri Kogoro also noticed something was wrong and asked immediately.
The guard looked puzzled and said: "Don't you know, Mr. Maoli? The suspect we were going to arrest is dead!"
"What?!" Hattori rushed in in shock.
Everyone quickly followed and entered the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Takagi holding a notebook and asking about a capable short-haired oL, and standing beside him was a middle-aged woman wearing rimless glasses.
"Ah! Mr. Mori, Akong, Hattori... why are you here?" Takagi looked confused when he saw everyone arriving.
We just met this morning, and we met again in the evening, and both times were at the scene of the crime... Isn't this frequency too high? It's a bit scary.
"I made an appointment with this family!" Hattori was no longer in the mood for pleasantries and asked directly, "By the way, who is the deceased?"
Wakamatsu Serika, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and also a widow, said to Hattori with a sad look on her face: "It was my useless child Yulang, who committed suicide out of fear..."
Everyone; "Suicide out of fear of crime?"
"Currently, the possibility of suicide is high, but homicide is not ruled out." Takagi nodded.
"Where is the scene?" Hattori asked quickly.
Takagi brought everyone to Wakamatsu Ikuro's room, and saw the deceased lying on his back with his hands on his neck, his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open, and his death state was hideous.
"According to preliminary identification, Ikuro Wakamatsu died of cyanide poisoning. The cyanide was smeared on an apple. The time of death was not long ago when we came here to arrest Ikuro Wakamatsu. Therefore, we infer that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. .”
After hearing this, Hattori turned to look at Wakamatsu Serika and asked, "So did you see him commit suicide with your own eyes?"
"No, we came here under the leadership of the secretary, Ms. Satake, and when we opened the door and walked in, we found that he was dead, but his body was still hot." Takagi shook his head.
"Ikuro knew that the Dongchuang incident had happened, so he chose to end his life... What a crime, what a crime! How could Ikuro commit patricide..." Wakamatsu Qinxiang covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
"Poison apple, poison apple..." Hoshino Sora kept looking at Wakamatsu Serika. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that this woman looked like the poisonous woman from the Torada family in Nagano Prefecture.
This face, this temperament, this wife's attributes... all the configurations are complete! Coupled with the poison apple prop, could it be a tribute to the queen in Snow White?
At this time, the police came to report that two guests had arrived, and the maid at home also arrived.
Takagi thought for a while and called the two guests in. As for the maid, she had something to ask her.
