About twenty minutes passed.
Police cars and ambulances rushed to the scene one after another, but by this time Okudaira Kakuzo had completely lost his vital signs.
The medical staff looked at Mu Shisan and shook their heads regretfully. After waiting for the forensic officer to take photos, they put the body on a stretcher and transported it out.
"How could it be...Master! Master..."
After seeing this scene, Okuhira Eiko finally knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Segawa Flagro rummaged around for a handkerchief.
Tabata Kikuyo's mood did not change at all. He picked up the tissue box from the table nearby and handed it over, "Let's use this first."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Okuhira Eiko pulled out a few sheets, and after wiping her tears, Tabata Kikuyo took the paper ball close to her and put it into the left pocket of her apron.
They are really conscientious. No wonder this couple relies more on Tabata Kikuyo than Segawa Hatakero... After touching the body, Ye Gengyi went to the bathroom to wash his hands and came back. He happened to see this scene and commented silently in his heart. One sentence.
"Sorry, I have a few questions to ask..."
Here, Megure Thirteen waited for Okuhira Eiko to stop sobbing, and then continued: "Can any of you tell me what happened?"
"..."
Okuhira Eiko took a deep breath and looked at the housekeeper and maid: "After hearing a sound that sounded like a vase breaking, I followed Kikuyo and Segawa to the study."
Megure Thirteen asked again: "Did Mr. Kakuzo hang himself by that time?"
"No," Segawa Hataro shook his head quickly, "The master shouted something before we opened the door."
"Shouting?" Mumu Shisan was confused, "What did he shout?"
"He shouted, 'Stop, don't open the door.'" Mouri Kogoro's voice came from outside the study, "That's right, isn't it, Saraichi?"
"Um."
Ye Gengyi responded calmly, "However, by the time Mr. Maoli and I arrived here, the door was already open."
"Huh? It's Brother Gengyi, Brother Maori, Xiaolan, Conan, and Eiyou..."
Mumu Shisan turned his head and looked over in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
(??_??)...Please don’t put my name in front of the God of Death and the God of Plague, thank you...Ye Gengyi’s dead fish eyes:
"After I visited Mr. Mori, I found out that he had received a commission, so I came with him."
"Hey, brother Gengyi..."
Memu Shisan came over and complained very bluntly, "Why are you always encountering incidents these days? Could it be that you were infected by Brother Maori and brought bad luck?"
Mouri Kogoro on the side: "..."
Are you saying this now without realizing that you are going behind the back of someone involved?
He picked up Conan at his feet and threw it back, "Xiaolan, watch Yingyou and this kid, don't let them come in and cause trouble."
Conan: "..."
It's not my business……
You told the truth.
Ye Gengyi nodded calmly, and then said: "Police Department, I am a scientist. Besides, it is not appropriate to talk about this now."
"Ahem... That's right."
Mumu Shisan coughed dryly and returned to the topic: "So, who opened this door?"
"It's me." Tabata Kikuyo explained: "Because at that time everyone thought something happened in the room..."
"First the vase broke, and then Mr. Kakuzo shouted not to open the door..."
Mumu Shisan held his chin with one hand and asked doubtfully: "Does that mean he decided to hang himself after you opened the door?"
"I'm not sure about this, but after opening the door, the master's body hanging on the rope was still shaking."
Tabata Kikuyo looked at the butler on the side and said, "Mr. Segawa, am I right?"
"Well, that's right." Segawa Hatakero nodded.
"Police department."
At this time, Takagi Wataru, who was cooperating with the forensic officer to inspect the scene, came over and reported: "The window in the study is locked from the inside, and no footprints were found outside the window."
"Hmm..." Mumu Shisan pondered: "Does this mean that this case is a suicide?"
"That's it. No wonder Mr. Kakuzo shouted 'don't open the door'. I finally understand..."
Mouri Kogoro followed the topic with bright eyes and began to reason: "Mr. Kakuzo must be tired of this world, so he chose the path of death. The evidence is the vase on the ground!"
"Flowers, vase?"
Mumu Shisan was startled and quickly asked: "Brother Maori, what is going on? Please explain it clearly."
"This vase is Mr. Kakuzo's favorite. It is worth as much as 50 million, but now it is broken."
Mouri Kogoro said seriously: "Moreover, Mr. Kakuzo was the only one in the room at that time. Isn't this the best proof that he is prepared to commit suicide?"
"To give such an expensive vase to..."
Megure Thirteen paused, turned around and asked Okuhira Eiko, "Excuse me, is this vase really that valuable?"
"That's not all. 50 million was the price a few years ago. Now..." Eiko Okuhira thought briefly and said, "The market value is about 200 million."
"2, 200 million?!"
Isn’t it good to be alive?
Why did he choose to hang himself, and before he died, he heard a sound worth 200 million... Mumu Shisan looked at the debris on the ground, sweating, and shouted in his heart that he could not understand the thoughts of the rich.
"That... police department, I haven't finished reporting yet..."
Takagi Wataru looked helpless and added: "Although no traces of external intrusion were found on the window side, the forensic doctor tested the food residue in the deceased's stomach and found that in addition to coffee, there were sleeping pills."
"Sleeping pills?"
Mumu Shisan's eyes fell on the coffee table, he leaned over and looked at the three cups on it, and immediately frowned: "Huh? Why are there two cups of black tea and one cup of coffee?"
"The black tea belongs to me and Saraichi. As for the coffee, Mr. Kakuzo probably brought it in to drink before committing suicide." Mouri Kogoro said.
"Isn't that weird?"
Takagi Wataru wondered: "It's okay to drink coffee before committing suicide. You don't have to add sleeping pills to it, right?"
"He must have tried to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills but failed, and then decided to hang himself."
Facing everyone's gaze, Mouri Kogoro analyzed in a clear and coherent manner: "What? Is it possible that you haven't checked the rope used for hanging? There is a lot of glue added to the lock to prevent it from slipping. Although we At that time, I used scissors to cut it open to save people, but the evidence was not destroyed.”
(??_??)...What about the container for glue?
Ye Gengyi always felt that the reasoning of this tool man had a strange atmosphere.
Obviously the clues were all right, but they went in the opposite direction.
"Officer Takagi, please come here." Ye Gengyi waved his hand to a man in a gray suit.
Takagi Wataru, who was about to follow the topic and continue to ask Mouri Kogoro if he knew the motive of Okuhira Kakuzo's suicide, was startled, and hurriedly came over: "Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
"Is there any creamer left in the deceased's stomach?" Ye Geng asked.
"Ah? Wait a minute, let me take a look..."
Takagi Wataru quickly took out his mobile phone to check the identification photos sent by the forensic doctor. After a moment, he nodded and said: "There is creamer."
He wondered: "What's the problem with this?"
Ye Gengyi did not answer, but continued to ask: "What about the inside of the mouth? For example, did you have a tooth extracted recently?"
Gao Mushe continued to read the appraisal, then shook his head, "No."
"Have you confirmed the fingerprints on the cup?"
"Uh, this... hasn't been identified yet."
Takagi Wataru turned his head and looked at the forensic officer who was squatting on the ground, looking at the fragments of the vase, and explained: "Because Mr. Mori said that the suicide of the deceased was related to the vase, so..."
"oh."
Ye Gengyi did not stop him and commanded: "Please go say hello to the forensic officers and ask them to check the fingerprints on the cup and the blood-stained book in front of Conan after they check the fragments. And the few drops of coffee stains on the floor under the coffee table, are they the same as the ingredients in the cup?"
A book stained with blood... Conan sneaking in?
Takagi Wataru subconsciously looked along the direction, and happened to look into the eyes of the little detective who turned around after hearing Ye Gengyi's voice.
Conan: "..."
Found...
"You brat, why did you come in!" Mouri Kogoro looked over.
"Ah... look, this book is really stained with blood."
Conan used a malicious and cute tone and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Kakuzo obviously likes to collect books. He will definitely be very sad if he sees it."
"Could it be...this is a message before death!" Takagi Wataru was surprised.
"'The Murderer from Hell'?"
Mouri Kogoro leaned over to read the title of the book clearly, then raised his head to look at the position of the hanging rope. He said with half-moon eyes: "In my opinion, this should just happen to be placed at the feet of the deceased. Otherwise, the murderer probably came from the underworld." Demons and monsters?"
"But don't you think it's strange?"
Conan said: "Why do people who hang themselves to death bleed from their mouths?"
"I'm afraid you were unwilling to accept it before you died, so you bit your lip hard, right?"
Mouri Kogoro said with vacant eyes: "After all, he broke the vase worth 200 million."
Haha, believe it or not, I will make you fall asleep right now...
Conan was speechless. I always feel that my tool man is singing the opposite tune very well today.
"But if this is really a message before death," Megure Thirteen picked up the book and gave it to the forensic officer to check for blood stains. He turned to Okuhira Eiko, the housekeeper and the maid, and said:
"This could have been a murder!"
Yes, that’s it!
A confident smile appeared on Conan's lips.
This time, him! Kudo Shinichi! At almost the same time as Brother Sarada, he found Okudaira Kakuzo's pre-death message.
Then the next step is to compare whose reasoning speed is faster...
Huh? Where's brother Geng Yi? Strange, it was obviously still there just now. And Officer Takagi also...
Conan was startled and looked around in confusion.
