Kamikawa talks about Mori Kogoro again, hoping to ease his hostility towards Mori Kogoro. "Mr. Mori used to be a criminal police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, working under Officer Twilight, and he was still the ace of the police academy, but later he resigned and became a detective for unknown reasons."

Junji Tsukamoto nodded and asked a question. "You guys are going to investigate, do Mr. Ninety-Nine's family know?"

"Yes, we've already said hello to Madame." Kamikawa lied in an instant, and came to the letter.

Kuaidou sighed in his heart, this guy's kung fu of lying is comparable to what he has, if he didn't know the truth and look at him, I'm afraid he would have thought that Mrs. Ninety-Nine really agreed.

Kaito rang the doorbell.

A maid heard the bell and came to open the door.

"Who are you?"

Kamikawa instantly pointed to Junji Tsukamoto, who was in plain clothes, to the maid, "This is a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, and I feel that Mr. Kujiu Motoyasu's death is a little suspicious, and I want to check the scene again." ”

Although Junji Tsukamoto thought this was a bit strange, he still trusted Kamikawa and didn't think much about it.

"Okay." The maid had also seen the officer yesterday, and opened the door without much suspicion.

"Officer Tsukamoto, can you tell us about the situation?" Kaito spoke.

"At that time, the deceased was found by the deceased's wife and the deceased's three apprentices, and according to the lady, they had a magic show at the Cup House that day, and Mr. Jiujiu Yuankang did not participate in staying at home because he disliked the low remuneration. Later, when the lady and the others returned home, they did not find Mr. Ninety-Nine, so they went to the basement where the deceased frequented to practice magic and found the deceased's body. ”

The three of them talked as they walked.

"What was the cause of death?"

"Suicide by taking poison, the poison is aconitine, a toxin that anesthetizes the nerves."

Because they all went to the memorial service, there was no one in the villa, and the three of them followed the maid all the way to the basement, which was still the same as before. The place where the deceased died was taped with white tape.

"Has anyone ever touched the basement?" Junji Tsukamoto asked the maid.

The maid shook her head, "Because Madame is very confused about the cause of Mr.'s death and plans to ask a detective to investigate, the basement is still the same." After a while she withdrew, lest any more guests come to visit.

Kamikawa and Kaito wore gloves to avoid getting their fingerprints on something or ruining the scene. Junji Tsukamoto, as a member of the forensic department, naturally wouldn't make this kind of mistake, and he wanted to remind the two of them, but he saw that they put on their gloves faster than him.

And the movement of wearing gloves is fast and good, and it is very professional.

Why do you wear gloves with you? It's so professional!!

"How did the police determine that Mr. Ninety-Nine committed suicide?" Kaito asked.

"The four people who found the bodies at that time had alibis, there were no signs of binding on the deceased's body, and the body was not detected with sleeping pills. Moreover, the villa is locked, the basement is also locked from the inside, and the police have not found any traces of intrusion from the outside. The deceased also showed no signs of calling for help, so it was judged that the deceased had committed suicide by poisoning. ”

Junji Tsukamoto explained the results of the police investigation.

Kuaito looked at the many photos hanging in the basement, and the ones hanging on them were all apprentices taught by Ninety-nine Yuankang, a master magician, over the years, and it could be said that the apprentices were all over the magic world.

"Huh?" Kaito noticed a picture frame that was unusually clean compared to the others, as if someone had often wiped it alone. He had the impression that the person in the frame was Kinoshita Yoshiro who died on the stage fourteen years ago. At that time, as a rising star in the magic world, he was a genius among geniuses, with super strength and popularity, but later he died on the stage by a performance mistake.

Kamikawa instantly looked at the place where the body had fallen. The movements of the deceased's body were strange, there was no place for the hands, as if the hands were tied. However, the police did not find any traces of being tied up on the body.

"Officer Tsukamoto, what was the posture of the deceased's body at that time?"

Junji Tsukamoto recalled, "The deceased had his hands under his body and fell to the ground very neatly. ”

"It's kind of weird." Kamikawa touched his chin instantly, according to his experience, people who took poison usually involuntarily covered their chests or choked their throats to relieve the pain before they died.

"I thought it was strange too, but when I examined the body, I really didn't find any signs of being tied." Junji Tsukamoto is also a little puzzled by this, as a forensic graduate, active forensic officer, he still knows these things very well.

"How can you tie your hands without a trace?" Kamikawa instantly pushed Kaito with his elbow. Reasoning is still up to someone who is good at this.,Although Kaito is not a detective.,But he has a high IQ.,The kind that can turn a detective around.。

Kaito's eyes were fixed on the large photograph hanging in the center of the wall. In the photo, Ninety-nine Yuankang is dressed in a black suit, one hand is stretched out and the fingertips are hanging lines, the light shines on his face from the main entrance, and those thin lines that are usually not seen are clear in the photo, like a puppeteer who controls a puppet.

Kaito's eyes fell on the ring he was wearing.

As a magician, he knew at a glance that the ring was a magic prop, and its usefulness was to wrap around the thin threads that these puppets could not usually see.

"With a ring."

Kamikawa instantly followed Kaito's gaze and looked at the wide ring that Kukujiu Motoyasu was wearing in the photo.

He put his hands behind his back and imitated, "The two thumbs carry the ring, and it is really difficult to break free after tying the ring with a thin thread. And it doesn't leave a mark on the body. ”

"Officer Tsukamoto, did you have a ring or thread on the corpse when you examined it?"

Junji Tsukamoto shook his head, "It should have been destroyed by the murderer before the police arrived." ”

Hearing the conversation between these two people, he also cleared his mind, and the things that the police couldn't think of for a long time were deduced by these two guys at once.

"You're amazing!" It really made him feel ashamed.

"Because I'm also a magician, and what magicians are best at is doing things that don't attract attention." Kaito explained. "And with two thumbs tied, it's hard to open the door, and it's hard to get up if you fall."

Kaito knocked on the wall, "This wall is also soundproof, even if Mr. Ninety-Nine shouts for help others can't be heard." ”

"But there's a landline phone in the basement." Kamikawa instantly walked over to the phone, which was covered by scattered playing cards. He dialed the cards with his hand and pulled out the phone. The phone line is still plugged into the phone.
