The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko immediately misfired.
"I brought the photo over...what are you talking about?" Conan walked into the kitchen and looked at the few people with curiosity.
Just now in the corridor, he vaguely heard someone banging the table.
"No, it's nothing Conan, you don't need to know." Mao Lilan was a little flustered.
"That is to say, this is a topic for adults!" Suzuki Sonoko added pretending to be profound.
Although the two of them do not yet know that Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi, they have long subconsciously determined that once something is known to this kid, he will definitely turn around and tell the reasoning maniac.
The big-headed 'spy' has to be guarded against.
What an adult topic, you guys are only 17 years old...
Conan looked half-mooned, but was too lazy to ask. He placed the photos from 10 years ago in the portfolio on the table.
Sera Masumi opened the photo album on her phone.
Comparing the two, it turns out that the word 'death' written in blood is almost exactly the same.
"Look! I checked the follow-up of this case online on the way here. The photo of the word 'death' was not published at that time, so this must be a crime committed by the same murderer! Alas..."
Saying this, Sera Masumi sighed helplessly.
Conan's eyes flashed with thought, and he whispered to himself:
"But he...Brother Shinichi told me that his father said 10 years ago that the murderer who left the word 'death' next to the body would never appear again..."
"Won't appear again?!" Sera Masaki couldn't hide his surprise: "Are you sure he really said that?"
"Um!"
Conan couldn't explain much, so he could only nod seriously.
"I also remember that when Shinichi showed me this photo, he said that although the deceased uncle's palms and fingers were stained with blood, there were no similar marks on his fingers..."
Mao Lilan recalled:
"So he was very angry at that time, explaining that it was obviously not a blood letter left by the deceased himself, so why was it not a murder case."
"Huh? It's not a murder case..."
Sera Masumi caught the key, stared at Conan and asked: "So! At that time, Kudo Yusaku also said that the case was just an accident?"
"Say it too?"
Conan took a few steps back and said, "Sister Sera, do you mean there is anyone else who made the unexpected conclusion?"
"That's Teacher Ye."
Sera Masumi said with a very uneasy expression: "He was also present when we encountered this case this morning. When we called him in the afternoon, he said that there was no murderer in this case and that the deceased died accidentally."
The two murder cases 10 years apart both had the strange word 'death' left on them. It turned out that not only my father, but also my brother Gengyi said so...
Conan murmured silently, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then what? Did Brother Gengyi tell me the reason?"
"No."
Sera Masumi's face was full of dissatisfaction with this hasty conclusion, but he said helplessly:
"Maybe I was a little emotional at the time. I only asked one question and he hung up the phone."
So, is this the reason why you guys came here to look for photos from the scene of the case 10 years ago... Conan was completely speechless.
He has a basic understanding of Ye Gengyi and knows that the other person is the kind of character who is unlikely to repeat the same reasoning over and over again unless necessary.
And he, obviously, would not be that exception.
Just...why do you think it's an accident...
The known clues still did not allow Conan to sort out the context of the entire incident. He could only continue to ask:
"Sister Xiaolan, what does the dead uncle you met this morning look like? If there are other places that are the same as the incident 10 years ago besides the blood words, maybe those are the traces left by the murderer."
"Hmm...let me think about it."
Mao Lilan recalled the situation at that time and recounted what happened as completely as possible.
"In other words, what these two incidents have in common is a blood book with the word 'death' written in a very similar font, and two bodies that do not look like homicide at first glance. And..."
After changing into a necklace-type voice changer, Akai Shuichi walked into the kitchen and picked up the file from 10 years ago from the table:
"According to this news bulletin, it says, 'The teacher who rushed to the park saw the bloody words after trying to help the body'... Therefore, this photo was probably taken after the body was slightly moved. Maybe 10 years ago When the boy discovered the body, the words in blood were already there, but they were blocked from view by the body.”
"Were you listening just now?" Shiliang Zhenchun looked at his brother with a different face.
I don't blame her for being worried.
In fact, apart from the love brain, normal people will subconsciously be wary when facing a stranger who is obviously the first time they meet but feels strange.
"I happened to hear it. I'm sorry... I couldn't help but meddle in my own business." Akai Shuichi had a gentle attitude.
"That's it..." Sera Masaki continued to examine.
"Brother Subaru is a fan of Sherlock Holmes and also likes reasoning very much."
Conan explained briefly and quickly changed the topic:
"By the way...Sister Xiaolan, were the bloody words you saw this morning also blocked by the body at the beginning?"
He felt that if even this detail was intentional, it couldn't be said to be an accident, right?
"So, when we heard the sound and ran to the scene, the two colleagues of the deceased seemed to be shaking his body." Suzuki Sonoko said thoughtfully.
"That's true. Maybe the body was moved at that time." Mao Lilan nodded.
So, the question is, if this is a crime committed by the same murderer, why didn't my father and Brother Geng 10 years ago question the word 'death'...
Conan really couldn't figure this out, so he had no choice but to call Takagi Wataru, who said nothing, to get information.
No one had an opinion.
Mao Lilan pulled out Takagi Shita's number and called.
On the other end of the phone, Takagi Wataru wanted to know about the case in the morning, and he also told him that the case had been transferred to the Investigation Section 3 without any concealment.
"Then can you tell me the details of the investigation?"
"Details of the investigation? During the investigation, I went to the deceased's company to find the contact information and home address of his relatives, so I was not at the scene. In fact, I also thought at first that this would be a bizarre murder, but the autopsy The results have come out, and the cause of death of the deceased was indeed venous aneurysm rupture caused by liver cirrhosis..."
"Eh?! Didn't you ask about such an important thing?" Sera Masumi couldn't hold back and yelled at the phone again.
"Um... I still have a case to investigate here, let's talk about it later." Takagi Wataru hung up the phone.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
Mao Lilan: "..."
Both of them looked at Sera Masumi.
"Sorry...I'll be careful next time..." Sera Masumi looked embarrassed.
