Chapter 54: It's not Kogoro at all

Newly discharged, in the bathroom, Mori Kogoro is briefing the Twilight Police Department. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the main thing is that they are chatting with Shinide Chiaki in the living room, the maid Hosumi Hikaru is cooking, and the grandmother is in the bedroom on the second floor, Yoko Shinide is talking to people at the location of the landline phone outside the living room door, and Yoshiki Shinide is taking a bath.

It was at this time that suddenly it was as if the power went out, and the lights of the whole house were dimmed.

So Hikaru Yasumoto took a flashlight to the main gate, and Mori Kogoro, Conan, Ran and Shinide Tomoaki were all in the living room.

Among them, the new Zhiming was also held by Xiaolan, so the suspicion of committing the crime was ruled out.

Yoko Shinide has been on the phone, and the other party on this call can attest.

The grandmother of the new Izumi is on the second floor, and Hikaru Yasumoto went to open the main gate, and these two people want to go to the bathroom, and they will inevitably pass by the side of the new Iide Yoko who called, so the suspicion can also be ruled out.

"So it's an accident?"

After listening to what Officer Twilight said, maybe this time it really wasn't a homicide.

However, looking at Maori Kogoro, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This guy really dies wherever he goes!

"So, what about the new doctor's body?"

"Well, he was lying with his head facing the wall, which should have been a tragedy caused by an unexpected incident when he used the mirror on the wall to shave."

Mori Kogoro said.

And the Twilight Police Department didn't understand it.

"Then why do you shave in the shower?"

"It's my husband's habit."

Yoko Shinide replied with her mouth on the side.

"He does that every time a guest comes, and the defogging mirror on the wall is added for that."

"That's right."

The Twilight Police Department looked at the mirror and nodded understandingly.

However, Wataru Takagi, the head of the inspection, stood in the bathtub that had been drained of water, holding an electric shaver in front of the mirror.

"Look, if you're going to use this mirror to shave, the junction between the shaver and the extension cord is right on top of the tub."

"Well, that's dangerous."

Officer Twilight touched his chin.

"If you say that, it can really only be an accident."

After all, when the power goes out, everyone is on the living room side, and the two people who are not there, if they want to come to the bathroom, they must also pass by the side of Yoko Shinide who is on the phone, and it is impossible not to be discovered.

So no matter how you think about it, it's an accident.

However, Conan does not agree with this at all.

So I was ready to do something.

However, it was at this time that the four seasons spoke.

"Uncle, do you think it was an accident too?"

"In general, it's natural to think so."

Mori Kogoro replied.

In this regard, the four seasons did not refute it.

Normally, I didn't say that I would definitely think so.

And Maori Kogoro really didn't jump to such a simple conclusion.

"However, there is still something unreasonable, the Twilight Police Department."

"Huh?"

The Twilight Police Department was puzzled.

Conan also looked at Maori Kogoro with some surprise, could it be that Maori Kogoro also found out.

Maori Kogoro didn't seem to notice Conan's eyes, and said directly.

"Think about it, police department, with Takagi-kun's current position, if he fell in an accident, where would his head go?"

"If you fall down in this position......"

The Twilight Police Department looked at Wataru Takagi.

And Wataru Takagi also seemed to be acting as someone who had an accident, leaning back slightly.

Seeing this, the Twilight Police Department immediately let out a sudden "oh" on their faces.

Kogoro Mori continued.

"Yes, if you fall down with an electric shock like this, your head should be facing the doorway, but the body of the new doctor is on the wall."

"Huh? Why? ”

The Twilight Police Department touched their chins with a thoughtful look.

Conan still looked at Mori Kogoro with a very surprised expression, and sure enough, Mori Kogoro also found out.

Mori Kogoro, however, continued.

"That's just the first suspicion, there's a second."

"Huh?"

"The second suspicion is the electric shaver."

Shiki took over the conversation and said, still holding a chicken leg in his hand and biting.

He bought a lot of them.

As for his words, the Twilight Police Department still didn't understand a little.

"Is there anything wrong with an electric shaver?"

"Police, if something happened while shaving, what would happen to the electric shaver?"

"What will happen?"

“……”

Suddenly the seasons didn't know what to say.

Anyway, how did the Twilight Police Department get promoted to the rank of police department? And he still holds real power.

But Wataru Takagi on the side thought of it.

"Switch, police department, switch."

"Huh? Oh! I see! ”

The Twilight Police Department, which was reminded, also reacted.

If something happens while shaving, then the switch of the electric shaver should be on.

Now, however, the switch on and off the electric shaver is turned off.

Can a person who has been electrocuted still be able to turn off the switch?

Although it is not impossible, because perhaps the movement of the hand at the moment of electric shock directly caused the switch to turn off, but the probability is negligible.

"And ......"

Kogoro Mori took the electric shaver wrapped in a handkerchief, turned on the switch directly, and the electric shaver immediately began to work.

"It's rechargeable, and you don't need an extension cord unless it's out of power, but it's clear that this electric shaver has plenty of power and doesn't need an extension cord at all."

"Huh?"

The Twilight Police Department touched their chin and continued to think.

It took a long time before he spoke.

"All in all, let's reconfirm everyone's alibi at the time of the crime."

"Hmm."

Kogoro Mori nodded in support.

But at the same time, it is looking at the four seasons.

Shiki blinked, then nodded in understanding, and then turned away directly.

Conan still looked at Mori Kogoro with the same eyes as he knew Mori Kogoro for the first time, saying that today's Mori Kogoro is fundamentally different from the Mori Kogoro in his impression.

But no matter what, the investigation will continue, and it will be in the direction of homicide.

These have little to do with the seasons.

The main purpose of the four seasons is to see if there is anything that can prove the alibi of each person.

There's no problem with the new Tomoaki, it's just the other three people.

Yoko Shinide, Hikaru Yasumoto, and Tomoaki's grandmother Shinide.

"Miss Yasumoto always covers her left hand, and the old woman, although she is old, walks a little slowly......

Shiki thought so.

And according to what I heard before, it seems that my grandmother came down after the power went out on the second floor.

Bao Benguang ran over to turn on the main switch.

Walked down the hallway, walked past the living room, and then came to the stairs.

Continuing from here, it is where the main switch is located, and going up, it is the second floor.

"Passing through here, either running through the hallway or through the courtyard, but that Miss Yasumoto's body ...... The clothes, very clean, and it was unlikely that the old lady would run over in such a dark situation. ”

With that in mind, Shiki walked upstairs again.

Walking up the stairs, I looked around as I went.

Soon, a fragment of a porcelain cup was found on the ground.

Squatted down and looked closely, and sure enough, there was a little dark red blood on it.

"That's why the old lady walks so slowly."

Thinking so, I didn't bother with it.

Stand up and keep looking.

Soon entered a room, and in the closet where the quilt was placed, a broken cup was found.

"So this alibi will do!"

Shiki said this, and left directly downstairs.

found Takagi Wataru at the top of the stairs, so he snapped his fingers directly to attract his attention, and then hooked his hand to signal him to come.

Wataru Takagi pointed at himself suspiciously, and then walked in front of Shiki.

Shiki muttered a bunch of things in his ear before patting him on the shoulder.

"Good job, Takagi-kun, I'm optimistic about you!"

After saying that, he left directly.

Takagi, on the other hand, went to collect evidence.

Shiki came to the living room, walked over to Kogoro Maori, and muttered something to him.

Conan looked at Shiki and Mori Kogoro with a puzzled expression, saying that he really didn't understand.

Today's Mori Kogoro is a little different from the past!

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Yoko, can you come with me?"

Kogoro Mori sent an invitation to Yoko Shinide.

Yoko Shinide nodded although she was a little confused.

So Maori Kogoro, Yoko Shinide, and Shiki, left the living room directly.

Conan also secretly followed.

The group made their way to the bathroom.

Kogoro Maori stood there against the wall, pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Shiki continues to eat chicken thighs that have not yet been eaten.

Conan watched from the side.

Yoko Shinide was puzzled.

"Mr. Maori, what the hell is going on?"

"Mrs. Yoko, I am persuading you to turn yourself in."

Mori Kogoro said.

But Yoko Shinide still said she didn't understand.

"Turn yourself in? I don't understand......"

"First of all, using a device such as a timer, causing a power outage, in the dark, switching the phone from the host to the handset, using the wireless handset to make a call, and at the same time running to the bathroom, while pretending to be kind to remind the new doctor to pay attention to safety, while secretly putting the electric shaver into the water, and then leaving here and running back, switching the phone to the host again."

Speaking of this, Mori Kogoro slowly spat out a smoke ring.

Then he continued.

"Then, when the switch is closed, the current passes, causing an electric shock to the new doctor, and the anti-leakage device is activated, which is why the first time it lights up and goes out quickly."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Maori ...... first"

"Actually, I asked Shiki to investigate, and Shiki was on the second floor, and found a fragment of a porcelain cup with some blood stains on it, and then in the room, he found a broken cup."

Mori Kogoro said.

"And just now, the four seasons are not there, but we all found out that Miss Yasumoto's arm, there is a burn, obviously it was fine before the power outage, so it is certain that it was caused by the power outage, which is also the proof that she broke the cup, after breaking the cup, because she was afraid of being scolded, so she ran to her room with the debris to hide, and the old grandmother, there was a puncture wound under her foot, which can be determined to be caused by the debris that fell in the corridor on the second floor, as for the new Izumi Chiming, I was holding my daughter's arm all the time when the power went out, so the alibi of the three of them can be determined, and the only one who has doubts is you, Mrs. Yoko. ”

"But that doesn't mean anything."

Although the alibi is uncertain, it is not direct evidence that she committed the crime.

That's what Yoko Shinide thinks.

But Maori Kogoro shook his head.

"Mrs. Yoko, as long as you want to find evidence, there will definitely be it, but I don't think it's necessary, it's better for you to turn yourself in, for your own sake and for Miss Yasumoto, you set up the mechanism to kill people, but it was Miss Yasumoto who opened the electric switch, if you let her know that it was because of her that the new doctor died...... Although I didn't have much contact, I could feel that the reckless Miss Yasumoto was a simple and kind person, and if she had to find any evidence and investigate to the end, she would just hurt one more person. ”
