Many speculations flashed through Conan's mind.
It wasn't until he saw the maid Mono Takami opening the wooden door of the kitchen, revealing a row of tall stoves behind, that an idea flashed in his mind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
It’s unmistakable, the evidence is there!
The tail of the green onion would stick to the rim, so it was definitely not possible that Tatsuhito Funamoto was hungry in the middle of the night and secretly ran to the kitchen to make a midnight snack.
Therefore, there is only one reason why he did not notice the green onion tail on his hand, and that means that the green onion tail was originally stuck to something he was wearing on his hand when he committed the crime——
The rubber gloves used by maids when washing dishes and vegetables!
Ye Gengyi watched from the side as Conan's expression changed from seriousness to joy. After changing a few times, he ran to the kitchen again and roughly guessed the little detective's intention.
But...will it really go that smoothly?
From the time of the murder to the day when the maid discovers the body, there are at least five or six hours to destroy any remaining personal traces on the rubber gloves.
Even though Funamoto Tatsuhito couldn't go to the first floor alone due to his leg injury and use the stove to clean it.
What about the bathroom in the bedroom?
If this could also allow Conan to find clues on it, then Ye Gengyi would really be speechless about this murderer.
…
Conan ran to the kitchen.
Shigeno Takami was opening the refrigerator to check the remaining ingredients, then turned her eyes to the sink nearby.
Looking at the pots and pans piled inside, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
...Great, it seems like these things were left over from the party on the night of the incident.
So there are those rubber gloves!
By the pool!
"Huh?"
Shigeno Takami noticed Conan who was distracted standing in front of the stove, bent down and asked: "Kid, are you hungry too?"
"No, I actually want to ask about what happened the night before yesterday." Conan looked harmless.
…
On the other side, in the living room.
Funamoto Tatsuhito asked: "Police officer, do you want to stay for lunch?"
Faced with this sentence, it is equivalent to 'what else can you do? With the subtext of "leave quickly if you have nothing to do", Mumu Shisan also twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, shook his head and refused:
"We won't stay and disturb you..."
As he said that, he looked sideways at Takagi Wataru, "Takagi, you call the class immediately and ask them to take out the past files and focus on those tall gem robbers with criminal records. We will do a good job after we go back. Check it out.”
"Yes!" Takagi Shepa responded and took out his mobile phone.
"Ahem, police department...what about me?" Mouri Kogoro asked, pointing at himself.
"You should go investigate that strange commission with a high working fee..."
Mumu Shisan glared at a certain tool man, then looked at Ye Gengyi with a warm smile, and said: "Brother Gengyi, don't work so hard. Go back and have a good rest for a few days. I'll ask Takagi to send him off later." you."
"Well," Ye Geng nodded, "Thank you to the police department."
"It's okay." Mumu Shisan waved his hand casually.
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Why are they treated differently?
Saw a group of people getting ready to leave.
Hondo Eiyu was a little anxious. Without Mouri Kogoro present, in his personal capacity, it would be almost difficult to find the information he wanted at Funamoto's house.
"Please wait!"
Hondo Eiyu stopped in front of Mouri Kogoro, "Don't you think that the garbage recycling work commission is related to this case?"
"Then why don't you tell me what's the connection?"
Mouri Kogoro was in a bad mood and retorted with a straight face, "Didn't the police tell you that they have already checked the garbage nearby! So the commission is cancelled, and there will be no investigation! I'm going to hit small steel balls, why don't you still Xiaolan and Conan should also go home quickly."
"But... it's better to check again? Maybe we will find some clues..." Hondo Yingyou still persisted in trying to persuade.
"Are you willing to delay the family's funeral?" Ye Geng asked.
"Well……"
Bentang Yingyou was choked for a moment. After more than ten seconds, he still couldn't think of the right words. He could only hesitate and say: "Even if you say so, what if..."
"Hey, anyway, you just want to prove that this murder was caused by someone in this family who killed Mrs. Funamoto, then threw her jewelry as garbage, hired an outsider to recycle it at a high price, and pretended to be a robber, right?"
Mouri Kogoro interrupted directly and said: "But the truth is that there is no jewelry at all in the trash cans and garbage bags in this house and in the nearby garbage recycling points!"
Our hall Yingyou felt like crying for a while after being yelled at.
The police and the detective had completely unanimous opinions, which filled him with despair.
So...there's no way to do it?
Ye Gengyi looked at Yingyou.
There are many ways to persuade the police to stay, the simplest and most effective of which is to remove the condition that the murderer is 1.8 meters tall.
No more preconceptions to mislead.
The police should have quickly figured out that the bullet was fired diagonally from below and penetrated the head of the deceased who liked to look at the stars, creating the illusion that the murderer was at least 1.8 meters tall.
"I'm sorry, sir, lunch may have to wait a little longer. I need to go out and buy some things first."
At this time, the maid Shigeno Takami came out of the kitchen and said apologetically: "Because this child said..."
"I said that many of the ingredients have expired. It's better to buy some more," Conan took over the topic with a smile, "The food is better when it's fresh."
"Ah? Then, okay then..."
Funamoto Tatsuhito responded and glanced at Mumu Shisan and his group calmly, "Please go back quickly, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore."
"Well, I'll go right away."
Shigeno Takami walked quickly to the cloakroom.
"It's time for us to go."
Ye Gengyi was ready to continue observing Yingyou's reaction, so he directly reached out to pick up Conan and walked to the corridor.
"Eh???"
Conan was stunned.
Just now he ran to the kitchen to stop the maid from cooking, in order to prevent the other party from accidentally destroying the fingerprints left by the murderer, Tatsuhito Funamoto, on the inside of the rubber gloves.
At the same time, while chatting, he also remembered that the day of the incident happened to be Setsubun.
That is to say.
Tatsuhito Funamoto, who has limited legs and feet, only had to play the game of "throwing beans to drive away ghosts" with his son the evening before yesterday. Later, he secretly left the pearl necklace and bracelet on the stall to confuse the audience. Let the maid unknowingly vacuum all the beans and pearls into the mesh bag.
This not only creates the illusion of a robber breaking into a house and killing someone, but also makes it easier to recycle necklaces and bracelets worth millions afterwards.
After figuring this out, it can be said that he now has mastered the murderer's methods and evidence.
The only thing missing is the motive why Funamoto Tatsuhito killed his wife.
However, you will find out soon...
When leaving the kitchen, Conan was still thinking confidently whether he should remind Brother Geng who was obviously not thinking about breaking the eucalyptus later, or use an anesthetic to inject his servant.
Who would have thought that before the abacus was finished, he would be picked up by Ye Gengyi.
"Wait a minute, brother Gengyi, I... um..."
Ye Gengyi didn't wait for him to finish his words, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and at the same time scolded in a low voice: "Quiet! It's so rude to be noisy."
? ? ?
What's going on? Why aren't you even allowed to say anything...
Conan continues to be confused.
Ye Geng was multitasking. While he was on guard against forcing a certain death god to bite someone, he kept his pace steady and walked along the corridor towards the entrance at a suitable and slightly slow pace.
He just wanted to see whether this young man who was dedicated to finding Geel, Eiyu Hondo, was hiding his clumsiness or was really just a smart high school student as he appeared.
If it's the former, before Ye Gengyi figures out what secrets he hides, there's still value in letting him live. If it's the latter...
