Chapter 115: The Successive Tragic Deaths of the Rich Family (4)
After the on-site forensic doctor preliminarily examined Xiuchen's body, he ordered someone to put the body into a coffin and transport it back to the police laboratory for a detailed autopsy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Twilight pulled her son to her side and asked quietly, "Xingchen, what do you think of this case?"
Instead of answering Twilight's question directly, Xingchen asked rhetorically, "I wonder what my father thinks?"
Twilight touched her chin and thought for a moment, then muttered, "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what kind of result the boss wants." ”
Xingchen nodded thoughtfully, and Twilight continued, "If it's a normal case, I can just close it like that." It would be a great achievement to write on the investigation report that the murderer Xiuchen committed suicide in fear of crime after killing his brother-in-law Xiuchen, and then signed his name. But this case is too involved, and the identities of both the murderer and the victim are very sensitive, and even if this is the case, if I report it truthfully, the boss will not be satisfied. ”
Twilight shrugged helplessly, knowing her situation. Don't look at his current appearance, he has solved many big and important cases, and has been touted by the media as the Sherlock Holmes of the police world.
But if you offend your superiors, blocking yourself is just a matter of one sentence from the leader. After many years of experience in the police, Twilight has seen or heard from others that many excellent police officers are still a small police officer until they retire because they have offended their superiors, and they can't be promoted.
"Since Father can't give a satisfactory answer from above, why don't you leave the decision to the other party?" Xingchen gave Twilight an idea in a calm tone.
"What do you mean?" Twilight vaguely grasped the point of her son's words.
Xingchen walked behind the police car that Twilight was driving, took out a bottle of coffee milk from the trunk, and drank it. Ever since she learned that her son had a penchant for coffee and milk, Twilight would always keep a whole carton of coffee milk in the trunk of her car.
After Xingchen finished drinking the coffee and milk, he wiped the milk stains on the corner of his mouth and said to Twilight: "Father's pressure comes from your superior, and the source of your chief's pressure comes from Chairman Nagato, as long as you get Chairman Nagato, it is equivalent to solving all problems." What we can do now is to gather as many clues as possible to make inferences, and let Chairman Nagato choose the desired outcome for himself. ”
"Good!" Twilight clapped his palms violently, accepting his son's advice.
"But in order to avoid the worst outcome, we still have to buy an insurance policy, hoping that my father can ......" Xingchen lowered his voice and whispered another call in Twilight's ear.
On the other hand, Conan and Heiji believe that there are still many doubts in the case.
After taking the poison, Xiuchen put stones in his clothes and threw water into them, obviously not hoping that anyone would find his body. But when he found a suicide note on the corpse, he clearly wanted to pass on his last words to his fiancée Hinata. It's a contradiction!
Not to mention whether the suicide note was written by Xiuchen himself, even if it was true, the suicide note did not write the reason for his killing of Guangming, and the headless and tailless content was probably pieced together by the real murderer in the novel he had written in his room.
Although the medical examiner confirmed that the time of Hidetomi's death was after the case, Conan knew that there were four or five ways to change the time of death of the corpse, so he preferred to believe that Xingchen deduced that the time of Hidetomi's death was before the light.
Heiji took Conan to look for clues in the villa, and many of the housekeepers and servants had seen Heiji, and knew his father's background and friendship with his master, so he knew everything about Heiji's inquiries.
The two first came to the kitchen, the kitchen of the rich family is different from the ordinary people, the area of more than 100 square meters is larger than the rooms of many working-class people, and all kinds of cooking utensils are dazzling, whether it is a Western steak or a Chinese pastry, the chef hired from a five-star hotel can complete it in the shortest time.
Pingji filled a bowl of seafood porridge, and asked while eating: "Has Young Master Xiuchen had any abnormal behavior recently?" Don't worry about it, you can tell me any clues!"
The eldest chef, who had worked the longest in the villa, stood up and said: "Young Master Xiuchen is usually silent, he doesn't go to the restaurant to eat with everyone, and it is usually the butler who delivers the dinner plate to the door of his room, so we rarely meet him and don't know him very well. ”
Later, Heiji and Conan asked other people in the villa one after another, and everyone said that Young Master Xiuchen had a withdrawn personality and rarely communicated with people.
Unable to get any valuable clues, the two returned to their rooms with a little frustration.
"It's not Nobuko, it's not Xiuchen, and everyone else was with us when the crime happened, could it be that the security guard or servant in the villa committed the crime?" Heiji said to himself with a different train of thought.
"No, you're missing someone. Conan recalls dealing with a case related to popular idol Yoko Okino. The deceased hated because of love, and took revenge with his own life, "Could last night's bizarre case be the product of Mr. Guangming's self-directed and self-acting?"
"It doesn't make sense, why did Guangming choose this way to commit suicide? Was it just to wronged Xiuchen? Or was he the murderer who killed Xiuchen and then committed suicide in fear of crime?"
"It's not suicide!" Conan said in an affirmative tone with a strange light on the lenses of his flat glasses, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a real murderer behind the scenes!"
"Could it be that way?" Heiji also guessed the real culprit behind the whole case, "If the murderer is that person, then everything can be explained." ”
At this time, Xiaolan accompanied Hinata's secretary and knocked on the door.
This rich wife, who can almost marry into a wealthy family and become a rich family, is also a poor person, her parents died in a fire that caused a catastrophe when she was young, and now her fiancé is involved in a murder and dies mysteriously, in a legal sense, she can't share a penny of the assets of the Nagato Foundation.
Two women came to inform Conan and Heiji that it was almost time for lunch, and Chairman Nagato had already ordered the kitchen room to be prepared for everyone in the villa, including the searching detectives.
"Time flies so fast, I don't know what time it is?" asked Heiji casually to Hinata.
Pingji's mobile phone has been out of battery for a day and a night, and he has no habit of wearing a watch.
Hinata looked around the guest room, pointed to the wall clock on the wall and said, "It's 11:36." Lunch is served at 12 o'clock. ”
After Xiaolan and Hinata left, Conan and Heiji glanced at each other, and they all thought, "It seems like a good idea to put the reasoning show at a luncheon where everyone gathers!"
Conan tricks Maori into the chairman's bedroom in advance, expertly uses a watch-type tranquilizer gun to knock him out again, and then puts him in his signature sleeping reasoning position on the seat.
Everything was ready, but Pingji patted his head and exclaimed: "I have prepared all the things for reasoning, and our reasoning is perfect, but we have forgotten the most important thing!"
"Evidence, we don't have evidence!" Conan was also completely immersed in the reasoning game, forgetting to grasp the conclusive evidence.
"Really, why didn't you think that you weren't a detective in Kanto?" Heiji harshly criticized Conan, trying to shift the blame for the failure of reasoning onto him.
"Damn, aren't you also a detective in Kansai?" Conan said without flinching in the face of Heiji's questioning.
Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, everyone was about to arrive in this room, and Pingji anxiously asked, "What time is it?"
"At 11:52, there are still 8 minutes to go. Conan replied nonchalantly as he looked at the anesthetic watch.
Suddenly, the two of them stopped, as if frozen by invisible magic, and then laughed again.
"I see, haha! The original plan remains the same!"
At the same time, Twilight receives the latest information from the officers.
According to the investigation, two years ago, Nagato Hidetomi wanted to write a mystery novel called "The Counterattack of the Chemical Queen", and he wanted to collect first-hand practical information related to chemistry, so he lived in a pharmaceutical chemical factory under the name of the Nagato Foundation for a whole month, so he had every chance of getting a poison containing cyanide/chemicals.
"It seems that Hidetoon's death is indeed a suicide, let's get ready to close the team!"
Seeing the tired look on the faces of the police officers who had been busy for a day and a night, Mu Du said again: "Okay, everyone is also happy, let's finish lunch here first and then go back to the bureau to rest!"
Naturally, the ingredients for the lunch of the Nagato Foundation banquet will not be similar to the 100 yen box lunches that can be seen everywhere on the streets, and as a police officer in the search section, although the most important thing is to win the favor of the superiors, he also needs to mingle with the police officers under him in normal times, and it is still up to them to charge forward at critical moments. And it's not the money in his wallet that he spends, and Twilight is happy to be a favor.
When the pendulum clock in the villa struck twelve, all the people involved in the murder, as well as the police, appeared in the bedroom of Chairman Nagato.
"Brother Maori, what are you doing? "Twilight asked when he saw that Maori and Heiji, who was sitting in a chair and had entered reasoning mode, was nowhere to be seen.
"I already know!The murderer of Mr. Bright and the murderer who made Hidetomi sink to the bottom of the pond!" Conan said as he hid behind his chair and mimicked Maori's voice with a pre-adjusted bow voice changer.
"Hey, Hidetomi committed suicide!" Twilight had already decided how to close the case, and he didn't want to see Mori jump out and destroy the report he had worked so hard to build, so he explained loudly, "Hidesen's suicide note has been confirmed by experts, and it must have been his handwriting. We also found traces of the stored poison/medicine in Hidetomi's room, and we also confirmed the channel through which he obtained the poison/medicine. ”
Before Maori could answer, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Someone called the phone in the room at this time, and when Twilight was hesitating whether to pick up the phone, Maori said, "Officer Twilight, answer the phone! ”
Twilight stretched out his hand to the telephone receiver with a solemn expression, and in front of everyone's eyes, he couldn't show the slightest timidity.
"Hey, I'm Twilight!" Twilight's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Twilight asked in confusion, "What are you guys doing, what will happen again?"
"I don't know, I'm just doing what Uncle Kogoro says. Pingji's tone seemed a little confused, and halfway through speaking, he shouted loudly: "Ahhh
"Hey, what's wrong, hey?" asked anxiously, cold sweat even broke out on his forehead, two people had just died in the Nagato Foundation's family, and he didn't want the son of the Osaka police inspector to be at the location where he was handling the case, and an accident occurred when he was on the phone.
"I don't know! Someone turned off the lights and slashed at me with a knife. Heiji sped up his speech, and his rapid gasps could even be heard over the phone.
"Where are you?" Twilight knew that Heiji was supposed to be somewhere in this villa, but the villa was too big to find someone right away.
"I'm in the room directly below you!" Heiji's voice grew weaker.
Hearing this, Twilight hurriedly ran out of the balcony to look down, only to see a strange man wearing a velvet hat on the balcony on the second floor, with only one right eye covered in bandages on his face, leaning out half of his body and staring straight at him, with a fruit knife in his mouth.
"Quick, go down and see what's going on!" Twilight ordered the two officers closest to the door.
"Wait!" Maori, who was sitting motionless in his chair, interrupted Twilight's command and said in a calm tone, "That's how the murderer used this method to keep everyone out of this room, in order to hide the more terrible facts that happened here later!"
With a "snap", everyone heard the sound, and a triangular hook grabbed the railing of the balcony on the third floor, and a few seconds later, the bandaged man that Twilight saw climbed up the third floor along the rope.
"Who are you?" Twilight wonders where Maori got the stuntman.
"It's me who pulls!" The bandage man took off his velvet hat and untied the bandages on his face, revealing a face that turned out to be Hattori Heiji in the phone just now.
Seeing the puzzled eyes of everyone in the room looking at him, Ping Ji brushed his hair and said: "Shouting loudly on the phone, 'I want to be killed', and then biting the fruit knife in my mouth, I specially showed my bandaged face to let you see, all this is to frame Xiuchen, it is a one-man show played by Mr. Guangming!"
"How is it possible! The blood stains splashed on the bandages used by the murderer have been confirmed to be bright, and the bandages and hat also have Xiuchen's DNA!" As Guangming's wife, Kang Jiang didn't want to see someone slander him after her husband's death, so he stood up and defended.
Mr. Bright slashed his arm with a knife, splattering blood on the bandage on his face. As for the DNA detected on the bandages and hats, it was because these were originally used by Hidetoon. And in order to avoid hair on the velvet hat, he also specially put on a swimming cap, which we found in Mr. Bright's room. Heiji picked up the swimming cap on the inside of the velvet hat and showed it to everyone, and then continued to reason: "We didn't find Mr. Bright's swimming trunks near the location where the swim cap was found, which means that this swimming cap could only be worn by him to play Hidetomi!"
