Friday, January 5th, afternoon, Shibata Shiro House, Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Forensic personnel were instructed to inspect the hallway in front of the restaurant, and found that there was indeed a pool of blood that had been wiped over.

"In this case, the first scene should be here in the entrance. The Henggou Police Department said, and then asked, "But, Ms. Jinghua, I have two questions, why didn't you call the police at that time, and why didn't you have your fingerprints on the doorknob?"

"I said that, the door opened as soon as I pushed it, and when I closed it, I just pushed the door hard, so I didn't touch the doorknob. Chi Bo Jinghua said, "As for calling the police, if I call the police, what will you do to me? I'm afraid they will take me to the police station for interrogation like a prisoner." ”

"Well...... this one" Henggou Police Department was a little embarrassed.

Chi Bo Jinghua said to Maori: "Mr. Maori, please leave this matter to you. ”

Maori said, "Don't worry, I'll get things straight." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "So, Mr. Maori, who do you think is the murderer of this incident?"

Yamazaki said: "Uncle, I thought of a possibility, can you let me talk about it first, and then you can help me correct it." ”

Maori smiled: "Of course, you can just say it." ”

"Then I'll say it. "First of all, please see that Ms. Shizuka is wearing a very formal kimono, which means that she came to visit Mr. Shibata on purpose, and she said 'me' on the phone, that is, she is alone." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Since the first scene is here, how did this body get to the study?" Yamazaki said, "In other words, someone moved in, and there are no strange wrinkles on Ms. Jinghua's clothes, obviously she didn't do it, and she came to visit alone, which means that the matter of moving the body has nothing to do with her, and the body was obviously moved by the murderer, so Ms. Jinghua is not the murderer." ”

Kyoko Shibata said, "Wait, the kimono of the formal kimono is difficult to wear, but who knows how long she has been here." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "This question will be answered by Ms. Jinghua herself, I think she has been prepared for a long time." ”

"I have a receipt for going to the jewelry store at 8:12 a.m., and the surveillance should have recorded me, as well as a train ticket I bought at 8:27 a.m., and then I went to Tokyo, and finally this is a receipt from a convenience store in Tokyo Station," Ikeba said. As he spoke, he handed over the jewelry receipt, train ticket, and convenience store receipt to the Henggou Police Department.

The Henggou Police Department said: "In this way, Ms. Jinghua really doesn't have time. ”

"But if only there were other people. Kyoko Shibata said.

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "Yes, yes, the phone is only used to mislead the police, they are actually here to kill Shibata, so they met and killed them." ”

Yamazaki said: "That's not right, if you meet and kill you, how did this photo come about? There are no traces of rummaging in the room, and Ms. Jinghua doesn't know where the photo is." What's more, if it was Ms. Jinghua, she would not have put her own photo in the hands of the deceased. ”

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "That's what was killed later, and then the woman left, and her companions stayed to clean up, and they didn't know the photo and used it." ”

"If Mr. Shibata was killed while sending guests away, then there is a problem here. Yamazaki said, "Obviously, the restaurant can't serve guests, so there is only a study, and hospitality needs to serve tea, but now there is no study room, and the tea set is neatly placed." ”

Yoshikawa Takezo said, "So it's said that the people who stayed behind packed it up." ”

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "The murderer has time to clean up the bloodstains, but why not clean up the restaurant?"

"Of course it's for, uh," Takezo Yoshikawa said in a moment's surprise, "how do I know that I'm not a murderer." ”

"Also, the air conditioner in the house is only at room temperature, why isn't it turned to the maximum?" Yamazaki said, "In other words, the murderer didn't want to confuse the time of Mr. Shibata's death, but instead hoped that the police would be able to guess that the approximate time of Mr. Shibata's death was around 8 o'clock in the morning, when he was having breakfast." ”

"Why is that?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"Just to blame Ms. Jinghua, she must have made an appointment with Mr. Shibata on the phone yesterday about when she would come to visit. There is also the photo of Ms. Jinghua, which was also deliberately placed by the murderer. "So the murderer knew when Ms. Jinghua came to visit, and he also knew where the photo was." ”

At this time, the forensic officer came to report that the deceased was holding a ring in the palm of his hand, which was his wedding ring.

"Ahh

"How could I have killed my husband, this wedding ring must have been held in my hand by thinking of me before my husband left. "Most importantly, don't forget that I left around seven o'clock in the morning. ”

"There is a type of death called death due to serious injuries, which means that the victim dies after the murderer has been away for a certain period of time. It is normal to have a severe head wound but not be treated, and die half an hour later. "And, by the way, you don't have to be together all the time when you're shopping at the supermarket. ”

The Henggou Police Department said: "I see, Mrs. Shibata came back to the manufacturing site halfway, and then returned to the supermarket, came back with friends, and planned to be the first discoverer with friends, but when she arrived, she found that there was already a police car downstairs, so she didn't call her friends to come up together." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with me at all, you are slandering me, and I will definitely sue you. Kyoko Shibata exclaimed.

Yamazaki shrugged, "Don't look at me, it's none of my business, I didn't say you were the murderer." ”

"Huh?" the sweat of the Henggou Police Department came down.

"Mrs. Shibata left at seven and a little after the morning, Mr. Shibata died at about eight in the morning, and Mrs. Shibata has a very obvious alibi. Mr. Shibata has passed away, and it is impossible to confirm who he told that Ms. Shibata would come to visit and where Ms. Shibata's picture is, so it cannot be said that only Mrs. Shibata knows these two things in this world. Yamazaki said, "And Mrs. Shibata and Mr. Shibata are husband and wife, so if you want to prove that Mrs. Shibata killed Mr. Shibata, you need an eyewitness to see Mrs. Shibata beat Mr. Shibata, in addition, even if you find someone who saw Mrs. Shibata come back this afternoon, it cannot prove that Mrs. Shibata is a murderer, and at most it will be unfavorable to Mrs. Shibata when the lawsuit is filed." ”

"This, where can I find this person here?" said the Henggou Police Department with a bitter face.

Yamazaki said: "Or Mrs. Shibata herself stands up and says that she is the murderer, then the available evidence can prove that she is the murderer." ”

Kyoko Shibata said, "As I said, this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

"Okay, Uncle Maori, I've cleared Ms. Jinghua's suspicions, do you think there's anything else going on?" Yamazaki asked Maori.

"Good, you're doing a good job. Maori smiled, "I have to continue to work hard in the future." ”

"Thank you. Ikeba Shizuka saluted to Yamazaki.

Yamazaki hurriedly returned the salute and said, "You're welcome." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, what about this murder?"

Maori said: "I think Yamazaki has made it very clear just now, you should find this witness first, I want to believe that this person can still be found, and then you can prepare materials for the prosecutor to decide." ”

"That's all there is to it. The Henggou Police Department sighed.

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "Mrs. Shibata, I want to advise you a few words, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?"

Kyoko Shibata said, "Please speak." ”

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "If the murderer is really you, you'd better turn yourself in as soon as possible, you must have seen many similar episodes on TV, this kind of thing is pressed in your heart, not ordinary uncomfortable." ”

Yamazaki said, "Yes, if it were you, you would definitely be given a light sentence." ”

"Why is that?" Lan asked.

Yamazaki said: "This, it is sympathetic to a husband who is addicted to gambling and does not know moderation. ”

"Oh. Lan squinted at Maori, embarrassing Maori and causing Conan to laugh, only to be annoyed and angry Maori planted mushrooms.

The Yokomizo Police Department said, "Okay, please come with me to the Numazu Police Station where I belong to make an official record." ”

"I," said Kyoko Shibata, "I want to go and change my clothes." ”

"Of course, you please. Henggou Police Department said.

Kyoko Shibata entered the room and closed the door, and soon after, the sound of a knife coming out of its sheath came out, startling everyone.

"Not good. The Henggou Police Department immediately went to push the door and found that it was locked.

"Let me do it. Lan kicked the door open, and the crowd found Kyoko Shibata holding a knife around her neck in her right hand.

Maori hurriedly shouted, "Mrs. Shibata, don't do anything stupid." ”

Chi Bo Jinghua took out the lady's fan, "Let me talk to her." As he spoke, he walked over to Mrs. Shibata.

"Don't come here. Kyoko Shibata swung her knife and cut horizontally into Ikeba Shizuka's abdomen.

Chi Bo Jinghua took half a step back to give way to the blade, and then stepped in and struck the fan diagonally on the wrist of Kyoko Shibata who swung the knife back to cut, but did not knock off the knife in Kyoko Shibata's hand, so he had to turn his hand over, the head of the fan was facing down, and the fan was blocked by the blade next to the blade, while holding the handle edge with his left hand.

"Stop!" shouted Maori, "Mrs. Shibata, do you want to kill again?"

"I, just want to kill myself. Kyoko Shibata held her right wrist with her left hand, and tried to force Ikeba Shizuka away with both hands.

"Stupid!" Chi Bo Jinghua reprimanded, "There is no difference between you and me in human life, as long as the person who kills is a murderer, even if it is his own life, do you understand?"

"I'm ......," Kyoko Shibata was stunned for a moment.

Chiba Jinghua noticed that Kyoko Shibata was holding the knife unsteadily, so she took the opportunity to withdraw the knife from her hand and immediately retreated to distance herself from her, "Mrs. Shibata, offended. As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up the scabbard on the ground, put the knife into the sheath and handed it to Kyoko Shibata with both hands, "Don't do stupid things anymore, you can't solve the problem by escaping, as a swordsman, you have to face it with dignity." ”

"I ......" Kyoko Shibata took the knife tremblingly, and then hugged the knife and cried, "This Wuming authentic is passed down from generation to generation in my family, but he, he ......"

"I see," the Yokomizo Police Department asked, "Mrs. Shibata, you killed Mr. Shibata because he wanted to use this knife to pay off his debts, didn't you?"

"Yes, I killed Shiro," Kyoko Shibata said gloomily, "My wife killed her own husband." Then he looked at Yoshikawa Takezao and said hatefully, "My life with Shiro has always been very harmonious and beautiful, but since you moved here, since you pulled Shiro to gamble, everything has changed, no matter how I persuade him, he refuses to quit gambling." Actually, I want to kill you even more. ”

"Ahh

"Ahem," the Yokogou police department asked, "Mrs. Shibata, do you still need to change your clothes?"

"No need, let's go. Kyoko Shibata said, then handed the knife to Ikeba Shizuka with both hands, "Can you keep it for me for a while?"

"Gladly. Chi Bo Jinghua took the knife with both hands. ……
