Chapter 0329 - Shogi Lacking Horses

On the evening of January 18, Daisen will be in the villa of Professor Daisen.

Conan and Yamazaki went to the room where Oyama was watching TV, and found Miss Nakahara sitting on the ground at the door, pointing inside with a frightened expression, and the two went in to take a look, and Oyama was kneeling on the ground with his eyes wide open and covered in blood, with ropes tied around his body and mouth, and a knife stuck in his back.

The two of them stepped forward at the same time and reached out to probe the neck of the great mountain general, then looked at each other and shook their heads.

At this time, others came over one after another.

The garden asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Oyama was killed. Yamazaki said, "Call the police." ”

"I'll go right away. Lan said and went.

"Professor Oyama. Kanazawa Tomoyasu, Tobita Ginji, and Ekaku Guobu screamed and threw themselves in front of Oyama, and then tried to untie the rope on him, but were stopped by Maori, who came next.

"You are not allowed to touch anything. Maori staggered along as he said, "It's nerve-wracking, how can you destroy a murder scene without permission." Then he asked, "What's the situation, Yamazaki?"

"I've been killed. Yamazaki said.

At this time, Lan came over and said, "Dad, the police said that the wind and snow are too big and they won't be able to come for a while." ”

"Oh, if that happens, it's now my turn to be Detective Mori Kogoro again. Maori laughed as she spoke.

"Garden, borrow your camera. Yamazaki said.

"Yes. So saying, the garden went and fetched it.

"I'll ask again for the sake of caution," Mori asked, walking over to the body of Yamasho, "have any of you touched anything in this house just now?"

"Nope. Kanazawa Tomoyasu, Tobita Ginji, Ekaku Guobu and Miss Nakahara said together.

At this time, the garden brought a camera, "I changed to a new roll of film." ”

Maori took the entire roll of film at once, and then returned the camera to the garden and asked, "Is there anything of value in this room?"

"I remember the professor's safe was in the cabinet to the right of the TV. "The professor brings a lot of cash with him every time he comes. ”

Maori opened the cabinet and found that the safe had been pried, but it was not opened, so he touched his chin and said, "So it's for money." Then he walked to the window and looked at the broken glass with adhesive tape on it, and said, "This will reduce the sound of breaking glass." Then he opened the window, and found two rows of footprints under the window, and said, "The murderer came in and out from here." Then he found Conan close to him, picked him up, and threw him to Ran, "Watch out for this kid who gets in the way." ”

"I'll go out and have a look. Yamazaki said and left.

"I'll go too. Mei Daiko smiled and followed.

Maori said loudly, "Go and come back." Then he said to the four of Kanazawa, "I'm sorry, can I ask you to come and test it now, instead of letting me come, let a few of you doctors do it." ”

"Okay. Tomokayasu Kanazawa said.

Kanazawa Tomoyasu and the four of them untied the rope on the mountain general and began the inquest work.

Soon after, Kanazawa said, "According to my reasoning, the correct time of death should be between half past nine and ten in the afternoon." ”

Mori said, "That's when Mr. Oyama was watching that series in his room. ”

"Although Professor Oyama had many wounds on his body, I think the most direct cause of death was these two wounds that penetrated his lungs. "He died of suffocation caused by a stab wound to his lungs." ”

"Because of the perforation of the lungs, even if the victim wanted to breathe, the lungs could not expand, and he could not breathe at all. ”

Kanazawa said, "I think it must have been very painful within 10 to 15 minutes of Professor Oyama's stabbing. ”

Jiang Jiao Guobu said: "It's really excessive, who would do such a thing." ”

"According to my guess, the murderer's motive must be money, which may be the reason why Professor Oyama has a wound on his head that is not fatal, and there are so many injuries on his body. "When the killer came in through the window, he struck Professor Oyama in the head from behind while he was watching television, and then tied him up while he was unconscious, and then asked for the number of the safe." But Professor Oyama never said it, so the killer stabbed Professor Oyama with a knife and fled through the window. ”

"If that's the case," said Tobita Ginji, "Professor Oyama's favorite gold watch is missing, and it should have been taken by the murderer." ”

"But look at the footprints outside the window," Conan said, breaking free from Lan's embrace and running to the window, "the murderer didn't hesitate to walk straight to this room. If it were me, I would be afraid that there would be someone in the room, so I would peek out the window. ”

In this case, the murderer knew that Professor Oyama would be in the room at that time, and he would watch TV intently, which means that he had been eyeing Professor Oyama for a long time, perhaps it was the gold watch that caused the trouble. Maori said, then asked, "Did you meet any suspicious people today?"

"No, we're here separately. Jiang Jiao Guobu said.

"So, who knew you would be here?" asked Maori again.

"It should just be a few of us. Ginji Tokita said.

"That means the murderer could be one of the four of you. "Then please tell each of you about your alibi." ”

Lan said, "Dad, Miss Jiangjiao Guobu is with us. ”

"Yes," said the garden, "except for a few minutes to take out the trash. ”

"I've been taking a shower, and no one can prove it," Kanazawa said. ”

Ginji Tobita said, "I went skiing with Mr. Yamazaki and Miss Midaiko for night snow, but we weren't together, but I had a ticket that would prove that I was at the ski resort at 9:50. ”

"And what about before?" said Maori, "Professor Oyama's death was between half past nine and ten o'clock, and it would take a maximum of fifteen minutes to drive from here to the ski resort. You're leaving before nine o'clock, so you have plenty of time to drop them off at the ski resort and then turn back and then go back to pick them up. ”

"Uh......" Hinata Ginji had nothing to say.

Miss Nakahara said, "I came back at 9:50. Because of the heavy wind and snow, and it was blowing on the front window, I didn't dare to drive fast, I drove very slowly. I forgot when it came, oh by the way, I have a receipt from the convenience store and there should be time on it. As he spoke, he handed the ticket to Maori.

"Tonight at 9:21:27. "This time is ......."

"If you don't believe it, you can open it and watch it. Miss Nakahara said, "Normally, it does take about fifteen minutes, but I have nothing to say about tonight's weather." ”

Looking out the window at the snowstorm, Maori asked, "Have you bought all that stuff?"

"No, the lettuce salad is really gone. Miss Nakahara said, "But there is actually ice cream, but I ate so much meat tonight, I was afraid that the people who ordered it would have diarrhea, so I deliberately didn't buy it." ”

Pointing to the few flat blood stains on the table, Yuan Zi suddenly asked, "Don't you think the blood stains on this table are weird?"

"Huh?" said Maori, "if so, there is something blocking the blood. Then he looked at the tablecloth on the ground and said, "This should be it." As he spoke, he asked Kanazawa Tomoyasu to help put the tablecloth on the table.

"Strange," said Conan, "who ripped the tablecloth off?" ”

"Of course it's time for the murderer to go. The garden said.

"But the blood stains on it are very neatly connected. Conan pointed to the junction between the blood on the table and the blood on the tablecloth, "The murderer probably won't wait here for the blood to dry up before leaving." ”

Maori looked at Miss Nakahara and said, "If you say that, someone moved this tablecloth later." ”

"And," Conan said, pointing to the current corner of the table, the blood stains on the tablecloth, "look, is there something missing here?"

Looking at a blank space in the bloodstains, Yuan Zi said, "It's something like a small box." ”

Seeing that everyone was studying that, Conan raised his hand and put down Maori with an anesthetic needle, then pushed Maori to make him sit on the sofa, and then went around to the back of the sofa and used the tuned voice changer, and asked in Maori's voice, "Can you take the liberty of asking, Miss Nakahara, your name?"

"Her name is Kaori," said Ekaku Guobu, "Kaori Nakahara." Then he said in surprise, "Ah, this position ......."

"Sleeping Kogoro. Tobi said Ginji.

Kanazawa asked, "So, do you understand who the murderer is?"

"Yes," Conan said in a Maori voice, "I don't know if you remember, Professor Oyama often said, 'Just give me another horse.'" ”

"Yes," said Jiang Jiao Guobu, "I just don't know what it means, so I asked the professor, and the professor didn't say anything." ”

Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Don't you know how you play shogi?"

"Shogi?" said Sonoko excitedly, "Ah, I see." ”

"Garden?" Lan asked.

"You see, Professor Oyama represents the king general in the middle of the first row, Mr. Kanazawa Tomoyasu is the golden general next to him, Mr. Tokita Ginji is the silver general next to him, Miss Kaori Nakahara is the incense car on the edge of the first row, Miss Ekaku Guobu is the corner line of the second row, Mr. Tokita Ginji can also represent the flying car, and Miss Ekaku Guobu can also represent the infantry in the third row. Yuan Zi smiled, "In this way, except for Guima, there will be all." ”

"Really. Ran said, then looked at Kaori Nakahara and said in surprise, "If you say that......"

"This corner should be placed in the way of shogi," Sonoko said, "In other words, the death message left by Professor Oyama is that of Kaori Nakahara." ”

"It's so funny. Kaori Nakahara smiled, "Detective Maori, if I am the murderer, please come up with tangible evidence." ”

"You removed the tablecloth. "The first one you came and noticed that there was a death message on the tablecloth on the table, so you pulled the tablecloth to the ground, and the thing on it, it should be a lighter or a matchbox or something, and you kicked it somewhere in the room." ”

"Mr. Maori, I don't know what you're talking about, it's possible that the murderer did it. Kaori Nakahara said, "If the murderer came here at half past nine, he harmed Professor Oyama at nine thirty-five, and the safe was not pried open for a long time, and when he left, he found out what Professor Oyama did, and then moved the tablecloth and then escaped." And we found Professor Oyama at 10:15, which makes perfect sense in terms of time. ”

"Yes, Mr. Mori," said Ekaku, "that's perfectly fine in terms of time. ”

Conan said in a Maori voice: "The thing that represents the incense car is still in this house, and the murderer didn't take it out because the murderer couldn't take it out......"

"That's enough, Mr. Maori, unless the tablecloth and the thing in your mouth have my fingerprints on them," Nakahara Orika smiled, "No, Guobu and I have also watched TV in this room, and it's not strange that there are my fingerprints in this room." ”

"Mr. Maori. Kanazawa shouted.

Lan shouted, "Daddy!"

Conan scratched his head, he was 'willed', just to check the footprints, why hasn't Yamazaki come back. ……
