With the cooperation of elementary school student Shirai Ku, Officer Sato obtained the following information.
The house where the deceased was located was one of many properties owned by Shirai's parents. The current resident, Shirai Sakeko, has not been home for a long time because he was seriously ill and was hospitalized. As for which hospital Shirai Sakeko was hospitalized in, Shiraijiu said she didn't know and no one had told her.
The identity of the deceased was Shirai's half-brother, named Kento Shirai. He was 23 years old and his identity seemed to be a gangster. He has a bad personality, is idle and does not want to make progress. When Kento Shirai came of age, Shirai's father stopped giving him living expenses, so he turned to his sister, Shirai Shuko, for money.
The key to the house is only owned by Shirai Sakeko and Shirai Ku (that is to say, there is only one key). There is no lost key and no spare key. Of course Kento Shirai doesn't have the key either. As for how he got in, Shiraijiu said he didn't know.
Shiraijiu was also very sure that he had indeed used the key to open the locked door. It is impossible to lock the door from the outside without someone else having the key. This is the 24th floor. Even if the murderer kills someone, he can't leave through the window.
So this is a secret room.
If the deceased did not commit suicide, it was a secret room homicide.
Conan, who thought of asking Shiraijiu for information about the case, ran back and got the information at the same time, and his excellent brain began to work rapidly.
Just when he was about to run away again, Shiraijiu, who couldn't stand it, grabbed Conan.
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
"Eh?" Conan was stunned, and his excitement over encountering the secret room case gradually calmed down.
"Here." Bai Jingjiu pointed to the ground, "Downstairs, as I said, the man in black has been here."
When Conan mentioned men in black, gin and vodka automatically came to mind. "You mean, the murderer could be those two men in black?"
"..." Baijiu was speechless at Conan's subconscious move to blame the man in black. "No, we don't rule out this possibility. But what I want to say is that it is possible that this place is still under the surveillance of the man in black." Now, if you run around the murder scene looking for evidence like this, they might notice you."
Normal primary school students would not behave like this. Please understand this clearly for me!
Indeed, Conan used to hide or help solve crimes when he was a child and no one noticed him, but if there are men in black watching nearby...
Conan's face was stern, and he seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter. Baijiu felt a little relieved.
However, Conan is a person who really has the aura of the protagonist. Even if he doesn't look for evidence, the evidence will naturally find him.
Just as the two fake primary school students were sitting among the adults, acting like real primary school students, a piece of news was floating on the top of the TV screen——
"Recently, there have been many burglary cases in Aipido Town. So far, most of the houses that criminals have entered are long-term vacant houses, and there have been no cases of injury. I hope all citizens will check whether the doors and windows are closed before going out. .If you find a suspicious person, please notify the police in time."
Burglary?
Conan recalled the photos of corpses he had sneaked into Shirai's house among the crowd and peeked from the Megure Police Department. There was a thick layer of calluses on the palms of the corpses. At that time, he was still wondering what kind of work could cause such calluses to form on his palms.
Now seeing this news, combined with the identity and character of the deceased described by Shirai Shuko, Conan can already conclude that the deceased Shirai Kento is probably the criminal who committed the burglary.
When the deceased was found, he was lying on his back with a fruit knife stuck in his chest and his expression was in disbelief. This is the Shirai family. According to Shirai Sakeko, Shirai Kento must have come here as if he were returning to his own home, but when he got home, he was killed by someone he didn't expect.
kindness……
Objectively speaking, Shirai Sakeko has a conflict with Shirai Kento because she is his sister and the owner of this house. Really suspicious.
If Shirai Sakeko hadn't become a child now and been with them recently, Conan would have started to doubt Shirai Sakeko.
Not long after, Megure came upstairs and called Sato out. After Conan noticed it sharply, he couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately acted coquettishly and cutely towards Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the toilet~"
"Huh? Okay, shall I go with you?"
As soon as Xiaolan's words came out, Conan felt the death glare from Shirai Shuko, and immediately twitched his lips with a smile and refused while retreating and running away, "Ah haha... No need, I can do it alone..."
Really, he originally wanted to act alone, why is this guy Shirai staring at him?
After getting out of Xiaolan's sight, Conan looked around to make sure that no one around him was paying attention to him anymore. He immediately ran out the door and found Megure and Sato standing in the corridor talking quietly.
"Eh - does that mean Shirai Sakeko is missing now?"
As soon as Conan got closer, he heard Officer Sato ask the Megure Police Department in a surprised tone, which scared him to the core.
Shirai Sakeko is now the number one suspect. If the real murderer is not found and she is missing, the police may focus on investigating her. Then you will definitely notice that Kudo Shinichi is also missing in the end. This matter must be brought to Xiaolan's side.
Xiaolan is not stupid. She also saw the man in black that day, and she quickly figured out that their disappearance must be related to the man in black... If she told the police, she would have alerted the enemy, and if she did not tell, she would be involved too. in this danger.
No, the man in black will most likely silence Xiaolan before she tells the police about this...
Xiaolan...will die!
No, even for Xiaolan, he must find the real murderer!
Conan turned and ran away.
Here, Megure continued to communicate with Sato, with a solemn look on his face, "...Moreover, the Shirai couple denied that they have a child named Shirai Ku, and said they would talk to her on the phone in person."
"What? So, that child also...?" Sato was a little unwilling to believe that such a young child could actually lie to the police.
"It's hard to tell now. Anyway, you go ask the children to come over and talk on the phone...be careful not to expose any flaws." Megure is an old policeman after all. He has seen everything. He thought of various possibilities and did not identify Shiraijiu just yet. lie.
Shiraijiu's lies can only be confirmed after she and the Shirai couple finish talking, right?
"Yes..." Sato nodded, turned around and entered the room, and came to Shirai Jiu in front of the sofa, still showing a smile. "Xiaojiu, your parents called. Do you want to talk to them?"
It was obvious that Jing Jiu looked very similar to Shirai Sakeko, and also similar to the Shirai couple in the photo, and she was so young, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Shirai Jiu was not lying. If Sato was given a choice, she would be more willing to believe Xiaojiu.
"Yes." Bai Jingjiu responded, jumped off the sofa and said hello to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, I'll go take a call and I'll be back soon."
"kindness."
While speaking, Bai Jingjiu remained calm, without feeling panic at all, and even greeted Xiaolan. How could such a cute and well-behaved girl lie to the police?
Sato became more and more confused. After saying hello to Xiaolan, he led Shiraijiu to the corridor to find Officer Megure.
Megure saw Sato walking over with Shiraijiu in hand. After adjusting his hat and making sure that his scars were well covered and would not scare the children, he squatted down and pressed the speakerphone on the phone in his hand, and smiled kindly. "Xiaojiu, right? Come and say hello to your parents?"
These days, the so-called phone is still as big as a brick and as heavy as a brick in the hand, so Mumu held it in his hand, facing Shirajiu with the microphone, and had no intention of letting Shiroi Jiu hold the phone by himself.
Of course, they also wanted to see what Shiraijiu and the Shirai couple would talk about and what their relationship was.
Shiraijiu is totally worthy. "Hello?"
"I said, who are you?"
