Chapter 4: Celebrity Killings
The five of them went to Yoko Okino's apartment in two cars, and did not find the three elementary school students hiding in the trunk.
"Is this the apartment where Yoko-sama lives!? That's pretty good! Kogoro couldn't help but praise, but he deliberately lowered his voice a lot. As she spoke, a few people walked to the door of her 25th-floor house under the leadership of Yoko Okino, and the three elementary school students behind them also followed closely.
Yoko Okino took the key out of her bag and opened the door, and the moment she looked up and looked inside, she couldn't help but scream. "What's going on, Yoko!" Her exclamation suddenly made Yamagishi Sakae nervous, and several people quickly approached.
Immediately after a few screams, I saw a man in the living room inside the door who was stuck in a vest with a knife and lay directly on the ground, obviously dead for a long time.
Kogoro frowned suddenly, and asked Xiaolan to comfort a few elementary school students who suddenly appeared, and he himself dialed Officer Twilight's phone. Twilight thirteen,Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department search section 1 forcibly violated the police department of the three departments.,It's Mori Kogoro's boss when he was still a policeman.。
After informing Officer Twilight of the general situation, Kogoro began to carefully recall the memories that had long since faded in his mind, and he had to observe the scene even after he couldn't recall anything.
Soon the police sensed Yoko Okino's home, and several people entered the room under the guidance of Officer Twilight. After a brief look, Officer Twilight asked a few people.
"When you came back, you found him on the ground, right?" "Yes." "Was there anyone with you at the time?" Before Yoko Okino could answer, Kogoro answered on the interface. "We all came together at the time, but Miss Yoko was the first to see it when she opened the door."
"That's it! But this time, with Maori brother here, the case will be much simpler, so I'll leave it to you next. "Then leave it to me!" Kogoro replied confidently, after all, he had already made a lot of discoveries at this time, and he had some confidence in solving the case.
"Speaking of which, this crime scene is really strange! A puddle of water next to the body, and an oval groove in the water, and then this chair, so messy everywhere, and yet this chair was so neatly arranged. ”
Kogoro walked up to the deceased, looked at the strangeness in front of him, frowned and whispered, obviously there was something he hadn't figured out yet. "Well, it's really strange to hear you say!" Officer Twilight chimed in.
"Has the cause of death of the deceased been clarified?" This time it was addressed to the forensic staff. "The deceased died as a result of a knife in the back and then bleeding profusely." "So, is this knife yours, Miss Yoko?"
Hearing Officer Twilight's words, Sakae Yamagishi suddenly became nervous. "Are you suspicious of Yoko!?" "Since the deceased died here, and he used the knife in the house, then there is such a possibility. And have you ever seen this person? ”
The officer continued to ask questions to several people, this time it was Sakae Yamagishi who spoke. "I'm sorry, but I'll need to look closer." So saying, he walked over to the dead man who was lying on the ground.
When he walked into the dead man, he gradually fell down, and suddenly he fell directly on the corpse with a stroke of his foot, perhaps out of fear or panic, he hurriedly propped himself up with his hands, and then got up from the ground.
Although it was only a very short moment, Kogoro still saw Sakae Yamagishi's hidden movements. He picked something up from the corpse's hand, only to slip it off as he tried to slip it into his pocket.
"Well, do you recognize it now?" Officer Twilight was visibly a little impatient with the man's performance. "I'm sorry, we really haven't met this person, have we been Yoko!?" "Ah, yes!" Regarding Yamagishi Rong's hurried answers and inquiries, Yoko Okino was obviously a little flustered.
After seeing the appearance of the two, Kogoro's frowning brows suddenly relaxed. "Yoko-san, I have a question for you." "Mr. Maori, may I ask." Yoko Okino calmed down at this time and answered Kogoro's question softly.
"Is the air conditioner in the room so hot that you turn it on?" "Well, no, I remember it should have been closed when I went out." "That's right, that's right." Listening to Yoko Okino's answer, he whispered softly, his eyes fixed on one place.
I saw that Conan was stepping on it and picking it up. It was a hair, and judging by its length, it was clear that its owner was a woman.
Just when Conan was suspicious of Yoko Okino, Kogoro had already carefully searched for new clues. Soon, he found the earrings under the sofa. After getting a pair of gloves from the forensic officer, he picked up the earrings.
"May I ask if this earring is yours from Miss Yoko?" Kogoro turned his gaze to Yoko Okino. "Ah, that's Miss Yuko's." "Yuko-san?" For Yoko Okino's answer, several people were a little puzzled.
"She is Miss Yuko Ikezawa, who debuted at the same time as me." "Is the key to your house the only one you have?" "No, Mr. Yamagishi still has a spare key."
"I did have it before, but I lost it two days ago!" Sakae Yamagishi hurriedly explained for himself, but it was obviously not credible and was directly questioned, but he was reluctantly let go under the corroboration of Yoko Okino later.
"In that case, it seems necessary to get her here." Officer Twilight muttered, and then asked one of the officers to bring Yuko Ikezawa along.
Seeing that the room fell silent for a while, Mori Kogoro spoke directly. "Let's analyze the scene first, let's take a look here." With that, he walked over to the corpse, pointing with one hand to the prototype groove in the water.
"Something is clearly wrong with this place, but it has not been finished in such a hot room, which shows that the amount before it is not small, or that it is extremely cold." "Low temperatures? Is it ice!? ”
Officer Twilight reacted immediately and confirmed it to Kogoro Mori. "Yes, ice. And then there's this groove, and the traces are still very new. I roughly compared it, and it matched the bottom of the handle of the murder weapon perfectly. ”
Speaking of which, Kogoro turned his eyes around and looked at everyone. "In that case, and with this chair the only one in the clutter, I know how this man died."
"What! Brother Maori, you already know how he died? Officer Twilight's eyes widened in disbelief. Yes, he was standing on a chair and fell on the ice that had been placed, and of course the murder weapon was still frozen on it. ”
