Sunday, January 6th, Kakudo Town 3-chome Okuhei house.

After Maori rang the doorbell, a slightly fat middle-aged maid came out, her face was expressionless, she walked to the courtyard gate, asked through the iron fence, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Ah, hello, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, and I have an appointment with Mr. Okuhira Kakuzo. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Maori, but what about them?" the middle-aged maid looked at the others

Maori hurriedly said: "These two are my assistants......"

"I'm Yamazaki. ”

"I'm Eiyu Hondo. ”

Maori continued: "These two don't care about them. ”

Conan immediately straightened his triangular eyes, what does this mean? Does he want to stay outside?

"Then, three of you, please come in. The middle-aged maid opened the door to greet the guests.

Conan was the first to jump out, but was grabbed by Yamazaki, who had expected it.

"Put me down. Conan struggled.

"Lan, he'll leave it to you. "Yamazaki gave Conan to Ran.

Lan hugged Conan, "Conan, don't make trouble, we'll wait outside." ”

"I don't ......," Conan struggled to break free.

Yamazaki was speechless, how old is this guy, or could it be that he deliberately took advantage, right?

"Smack!"

Maori knocked Conan hard, causing Conan to tears, but it also quieted Conan, and he pouted and stared at Maori, a stomach full of resentment.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

"Anyway, Lan, you show me a good look at this kid. ”

Conan watched as the Maori trio went in, and he could only be outside, depressed, unusually depressed.

……

And they went into the courtyard of the house, and went over the antechamber, and into the house.

With the sound of the door opening, the voice of a middle-aged and elderly woman came, along with the sound of footsteps.

"Kikuyo, who's coming. ”

"Madame, it's the Maori detective hired by the master. ”

The door was wide open, and in the hallway was a middle-aged and elderly woman, judging from her well-maintained face, she should have been a big beauty when she was young.

"Ah......" Mrs. Oping looked surprised when she saw everyone.

Maori was very happy and was about to accept the welcome, but Mrs. Opei found Hondo Eiyo, and suddenly felt that it seemed a mistake to bring Hondo Eiyo.

"You're Yingyou, aren't you?"

"Yes, hello ma'am. ”

Mrs. Oping pulled Hondo Yingyou to look left and right, "I haven't seen you for so many years, it's great that you've grown so big." ”

Hondo Eiyu was very moved, "Thank you Madame for your concern, I'm fine." ”

"Come, talk to me, how have you spent so many years? ”

"Huh?"

Mori finally interjected, "Well, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro. ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Ao Ping said apologetically, covering her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I haven't seen Yingyou for many years, and it was really rude just now." ”

"It doesn't matter. "What else can Maori say?

"Kikuyo, you can take them there. Mrs. Opin commanded.

"Yes, ma'am, please come with me. ”

Mrs. Okupei introduced to Eiyu Hondo, "She is Tabata Kikuyo, who succeeded your mother, and although she is not smiling, she is a very gentle person. ”

Hondo Eiyu scratched his head, "That, ma'am, can I go with Uncle Maori to see Mr., I'm actually an intern at the Maori Detective Agency." ”

"You're a detective? Okay, let's go together. Mrs. Opin agreed, but her tone was a little gloomy at the end.

At this time, a tall butler came out, and Hondo Yingyou took the initiative to greet him, "It's been a long time, but Mr. Housekeeper still hasn't changed much." ”

Mrs. Ohei introduced with a smile: "Yingyou, this is Segawa Qilang, and you know his brother. ”

"Hello, my brother passed away in a car accident two years ago. Segawa Kiro was also expressionless.

Yamazaki shook his head secretly, this family is really different, and they like this kind of poker face.

"Please go this way. ”

Under the guidance of the housekeeper Segawa Kiro, everyone went to the study together and met the head of the house, Okuhira Kakuzo, a short and fat middle-aged and elderly man, who was tidying up the bookshelves, and the ground was full of books.

Mrs. Oping pushed Hondo Yingyou forward, "Husband, who do you think this is?"

"It's, ah, I remember you, your name is ......" Okuhira Kakuzo couldn't remember the name for a while.

"I'm Eiyu Hondo, sir, long time no see. Eiyu Hondo said.

"Yes, yes, it's Yingyou," Okuhira sighed, "Your mother is a good maid, very clever, and always smiling. ”

The maid Tabata Kikuyo was expressionless, "I'm sorry, I'm clumsy and cold." ”

Oping Jiaozang smiled dryly: "No, no, I didn't mean that." ”

"Ahem, that, I'm a Maori ......"

"Oh, by the way, Kikuyo, go prepare coffee for the guests, it's in the living room, it's a mess right now, it's really not a place for hospitality. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

"Husband, this is Detective Mori Kogoro, and Eiyou and this are his assistants. ”

Mrs. Oping interrupted Maori and introduced herself.

"Ah, you're a Maori detective, sorry, but you're not welcome. ”

"Where, where. ”

After shaking hands with Mori, Okuhira Kakuzo invited Mori to the living room, and he took the butler Segawa Kirou's ear and asked him to lower his head, "How many times have I told you, you must knock on the door before entering my room, why did you just break in directly?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I'll be sure to pay attention next time. The housekeeper Segawa Qilang said in pain. ……

Moments later, the living room.

Okuhira Kakuzo invited Mori to take a seat, and Yamazaki and Eisuke Hondo stood behind Mori.

When the coffee came up, Mrs. Ao Ping helped serve it, and then left, "You talk slowly, I'll be out of company first, Yingyou, you wait to find me." ”

"Yes, ma'am. Hondo Yingyou replied.

When Mrs. Oupai left the study, Okuhei Kakuzang sighed, "Alas, Yongzi has not recovered from the death of Tsugo. ”

Maori asked, "Mr. Oping, what is going on with Ling Gongzi's death?"

"You two don't need to be here, you can help me clean up the study, and call Madame by the way." ”

"Yes. ”

Okuhira Kakuzo took away the housekeeper Kishiro Segawa and the maid Tabata Kikuyo before telling Mori about the incident.

From seven to twelve o'clock that night, the four of them, Okuhira Kakuzo and Okuhira Eiko, housekeeper Kishiro Segawa, and maid Tabata Kikuyo, had been watching the video in the living room.

To be exact, the housekeeper Kishiro Segawa and the maid Kikuyo Tabata accompanied the couple Okuhira Kakuzo and Okuhira Eiko.

And the son of the Okuhei family, Okuhei Kengo, was drowned in his own swimming pool between 9 and 10 o'clock that night.

The reason why it is said that he was drowned is because Okuhira Yugo has his hands tied behind his back, his feet are also tied, and his mouth is also taped to him, and it is obvious that he killed him.

Okuhira went to get the photos taken at that time, as well as a video of the tied Okuhei Tsugo, curled up on the pool floor.

Hondo Yingyou said angrily: "This is really too much. ”

Yamazaki asked, "How did you find him?"

"It was the next morning, and Kikuyo noticed that there seemed to be something in the pool, so he drained the pool and found him. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Does she have the authority to do this?"

"What?" Okuhira didn't react.

"The water in the pool, that's worth a lot of money. Yamazaki said, "Can Ms. Kikuyo let her go without your consent?"

Okuhira Kakuzo said: "No, it was she who called us, and then we asked her to drain the pool, to be honest, Yongzi passed out at the time, and the blow was too big." ”

Eiyu Hondo asked, "So, where was Brother Togo supposed to be that night?"

Okuhira said: "It should be in his bedroom, I don't know the specifics." ”

Maori asked, "Do you know if your son has a grudge against anyone?"

Ao Pingjiaozang shook his head, "I don't know if there is outside, but there are at home." ”

Eiyu Hondo was surprised, "Could it be Mr. Butler and Ms. Kikuyo?" You suspect that one of them killed Brother Tsugo when he went to the bathroom from the living room. ”

"No, I'm sure no one came out of the living room at the time, because there was a bathroom there, and the windows were small enough for them to climb out, and I'll take you to see it. ”

Okuhira Kakuzo took the three Maori to the living room and pointed out the location of the four at the time.

"Even though I sat in front and couldn't see them behind me, I would know if the only gate to get in and out was open. "I'm sure this door was kept closed at the time. ”

"Then why do you suspect the butler Kishiro Segawa and the maid Kikuyo Tabata?" Mori looked into the living room, "if there are no secret passages here, they have a full alibi." ”

Okuhira shook his hand, "How could there be such a thing?"

Yamazaki asked, "Then you suspect that they are colluding with someone?"

"Yes, that's it. Oping Jiaozang said coldly, "On the one hand, the prisoners gathered us together to create a perfect alibi for the prisoners themselves, and on the other hand, they found someone to come in and kill my son. ”

"That makes sense. "In other words, you want me to investigate the two of them, the housekeeper Segawa Kishiro and the maid Tabata Kikuyo, who are the prisoners." ”

"Maybe both. Ao Pingjiao said ruthlessly.

Yamazaki frowned and said, "What kind of grudge do you have between you?"

"Please take a good look at the picture," Okuhira said, revealing the picture, "and Igo wears a white glove on his right hand. It was exactly two years ago today, and the former butler who died after his car fell off a cliff used to wear while driving. ”

Maori asked, "Are you sure that the white gloves don't tell who it is?"

Okuhira Kakuzo said, "I'm sure that just three days after Izugo died, the glove on my left hand was also found in my study. ”

"I see, because of the death of the former butler, and I have a grudge against you," Maori pondered, "but wasn't the death of the former butler due to an accident?"

"It was an accident, and the police have confirmed it," Ohiraizo gritted his teeth, "but maybe they didn't believe it was an accident." ”

"They?" asked Maori, "who do you suspect to have anything to do with the incident, besides the current butler, Kiro Segawa?"

Okuhira Kakuzo said: "It's the maid Tabata Kikuyo, she is the wife of the former housekeeper." ”

Yamazaki couldn't help but laugh, "How dare you use them." ”

Ao Pingjiao said through gritted teeth: "For the sake of the former housekeeper, I originally wanted to help them financially, who would have thought that they would actually take revenge!"

"By the way, the second white glove, could it be a murder announcement?" said Hondo Eiyu, "The prisoner thought that this accident was caused by you and Brother Togo, so he put the gloves of the former butler on Brother Togo's hand, and then killed him, and then left another glove in your study, meaning that the next one, it will be your turn, sir." ”

"Stupid, so much time has passed, and the prisoner would have done it a long time ago. "The second white glove is an indication that the two gloves belong to the former butler, indicating that the prisoner is avenging the former butler." ”

"No, no," Okuhira shook his head, "I thought so at first, but today, Detective Maori, I'm suddenly a little worried. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Because of the time?"

"Yes," Okuhira nodded, "It happened to be the same day, so the Maori detective ......"

Needless to say, Maori already knew what to say, so he patted his chest and smiled: "No problem, I will do my best to ensure your safety." ”……
