"How could it be! The victim did not commit suicide, and besides, the murderer also left clues about the real modus operandi," Shinichi said softly.

"What ......" Hattori was stunned for a moment, he felt that something had been ignored by him.

Shinichi looked up at the others and continued, "I remember Mr. Butler once said that Mr. Ikemura is very fond of classical music, but Hattori-kun, do you remember what kind of music was put on when we came into the study?" ”

"It's an opera." Heiji Hattori still remembers it very well.

"Yes, it's an opera," Shinichi walked up to the desk, knocked on it, and said, "There is still a stack of books on the desk, blocking the front of the victim, why is that?" ”

Shinichi looked up at everyone and said expressionlessly: "It's very simple, this is because the murderer is deliberately covering up, the time when the opera is played is just the time when the murderer stabbed the victim with a poison needle, the opera is to attract our attention, and at the same time to cover up the screams of the victim when he is poisoned, and the book is to cover the painful expression that the victim may have when he is stabbed." ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Hattori Heiji was stunned.

Shinichi glanced at Hattori Heiji lightly and said, "How is it impossible?" If not? How could the murderer not have time to take the poison needle away, after all, all of us were there at the time, and when the victim fell, everyone came over, and he didn't have that time and opportunity! ”

"That's ......" Hattori Heiji understood, turning his head to look at someone.

That's the white-faced Ikemura Koe!!

"Madame killed the master?"

"No, it can't be!"

Mori Kogoro said, "Shinichi, so the victim was still alive at the time. ”

Shinichi exhaled and said, "It should be, what kind of medicine should Mrs. Ikemura use to make Mr. Ikemura fall asleep and make Mr. Ikemura put him in that position, and then she stabbed Mr. Ikemura to death with a poison needle while pretending to call Mr. Ikemura!" It wasn't natural that no one paid attention at the time, after all, opera had already captured our attention, didn't it? Moreover, if the sleeping pills were a little stronger, and the poison needles were coated with severe poison, the poisoning would only be a moment, and even Mr. Ikemura would not wake up at all. ”

"Wait, Shinichi," Officer Twilight asked, "Wouldn't it be ...... if that sleeping pill was examined from the corpse?"

"No, it won't!" Hattori Heiji finally recovered at this time, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "Because we have always believed that the deceased died before we entered the house, so, even if the sleeping pills are tested, we will only think that the murderer made him take sleeping pills in advance in order to prevent the deceased from resisting, which means that the murderer deliberately found the detective here, taking advantage of the blind spot that no one will kill in front of them, so he took himself out and carried out a psychological secret room killing, right?" Kudo? ”

"Yes." Shinichi nodded his head to talk.

Hattori Heiji turned his head to look at Shinichi and asked, "So, what about the evidence?" Kudo? You entered the door with us, don't forget that Mrs. Ikemura entered the door at the same time as us! We didn't see her take out the poison needle! ”

"Yes! Mrs. Ikemura didn't take out the poison needle at all when she entered the door," Shinichi bent down and picked up the key with the key ring from the ground, opened the key ring lightly, and said, "But don't forget that Mrs. Ikemura also took out something, didn't she?" Look, this keyring is really good, it can be opened, there is tape in the middle, and the needle looks smaller than this keyring, right? Pretty good design, isn't it? ”

Shinichi's words were endless, making others a little confused.

However, Heiji Hattori understood, and Officer Twilight, who was also experienced in handling cases, also understood.

"Keys, keyrings?"

They all looked at Ikemura Gonge.

Shinichi played with the keyring a few times, raised his hand, looked at Ikemura Gongjiang, whose face was already white, and said indifferently: "Mrs. Ikemura, I remember that your keyring is also the same as this one, right?" Can I show you your keyring? ”

Officer Twilight walked over and said, "Ma'am, can you show me your keyring?" ”

Mrs. Ikemura lowered her head, but still handed over her handbag.

Officer Twilight searches inside, and soon finds the key, and immediately opens the keyring, which surprises Officer Twilight by what it looks like when it is opened.

"This ...... What is this groove? ”

Right in the middle of the keyring, there's just a small long groove!

Shinichi said lightly: "That should be the place where the poison needle is placed!" At that time, Mrs. Ikemura took out the poison needle when she opened the door with the key, and then poisoned Mr. Ikemura while our attention was on the opera, so this key ring with grooves is the simplest but most favorable evidence to prove that Mrs. Ikemura is the murderer! ”

"But why?" Officer Twilight was puzzled, "Why did Mrs. Ikemura kill her husband?" ”

Shinichi slowly walked to the bookshelf next to him and took a photo to show to everyone. , said: "The reason, it should be this, right?" ”

"Huh? Isn't this a picture of Mrs. Ikemura when she was younger? Everyone looked over in confusion and saw that it was an old photo of Mrs. Ikemura from 20 years ago.

Shinichi pointed and said, "Don't you think this photo is a little familiar?" ”

"Familiar?" Everyone was stunned.

Officer Twilight took the photo, and the others gathered around.

Heiji Hattori suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Mrs. Ikemura and Miss Sachiko Katsuragi seem to be ah!" ”

"So, it's really like that!" Mori Kogoro also found out.

"Huh?" Sachiko Katsuragi was directly stunned and hurriedly walked over.

"How is this possible?" The rest of the Ikemura family also gathered around.

"It's true, you see, it's almost exactly the same except for the hair color!" Heiji Hattori said.

Before anyone else could say anything, he heard Ikemura say, "Of course we are very similar!" Because I'm Sachiko's mother! ”

"What did you say?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"How-how?" Sachiko Katsuragi was also completely stunned.

Officer Twilight asked in shock, "Mrs. Ikemura, if you say that, Miss Sachiko is your ...... with the diplomat?" ”

"No, it's not," Ikemura turned his head slightly and said, "Sachiko is the daughter of me and my ex-husband. ”

Sachiko Katsuragi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ikemura Koe turned his head to look at Sachiko Katsuragi and said with an ugly face: "Yes, it is the biological daughter of the diplomat Kenji Yamashiro who was erased from society by my current husband Ikemura Takeqiang on the charge of corruption twenty years ago!" ”

"Kenji Yamashiro?" Officer Twilight was stunned.

Ikemura Gongjiang said with a bitter face: "Yes, it is the diplomat who died in prison fifteen years ago, and the purpose of Ikemura is to pull Kenji Yamashiro, who was also a diplomat with him at that time, but he is a competitor, from power, and at the same time, he can also get me who was Kenji Yamashiro's wife at the time." ”

Only pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids.

Ikemura Kimie's words continued, and he said coldly: "But I didn't know at all, after Kenji Yamashiro was arrested and imprisoned, Sachiko was picked up by relatives, and at that time, Ikemura said to me, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown at that time, ' I broke up with my wife for you', I just got on Ikemura and started living with that devil-like man, when I really knew about it, it was when Guizen brought home a photo of his girlfriend Sachiko, at first I thought it was just a resemblance to her, but I didn't expect Ikemura to move him to shout emotionally, 'Absolutely can't be with this woman!'" I would never let that man's daughter be with my son!! ’”

"I was very puzzled when I heard it at the time, and I couldn't help but ask Ikemura Dong, but I didn't expect him to start talking endlessly about his dereliction of duty in framing Yamashiro at this time, and it turned out that my father-in-law also helped him do this back then."

So that's the case, no wonder Ikemura Koe would frame Ikemura Toshimitsu as a murderer!!

The others suddenly looked at Toshimitsu Ikemura, who had gray hair and an ugly face.

Ikemura Toshimitsu lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Gongjiang, I don't know what happened to me at that time!" ”

"I see," Officer Twilight understood, and said, "You voluntarily jumped into Mrs. Ikemura's trap because you regret the mistakes you made back then, so you just admitted that you did it, and you plan to bear all the charges!" ”

Ikemura Gongjiang said coldly: "So far, it's useless for you to pretend to be a good person, Dad, Yamashiro died in prison because he was crowned with a trumped-up crime by you!" ”

The police stepped forward, and there was a soft "click", and the cold handcuffs had already cuffed Ikemura Gongjiang's hands.

Everyone else watched as the police prepared to take Ikemura away.

When he walked to the door, Ikemura Gongjiang paused and suddenly said, "Guishan." ”

"Uh...... Hi! Ikemura Takayoshi replied stunned.

Ikemura Gongjiang didn't look back, but said, "I may not be qualified to say this to you now," Ikemura Gongjiang turned his head to look at the two of them, and said with a sad expression: "But, Sachiko is going to ask you!" ”

Looking at the look of hope in Ikemura Gongjiang's eyes, Ikemura Takazen was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." ”

Sachiko Katsuragi, who was next to her, covered her face violently and cried bitterly.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the back of Ikemura Gongjiang being taken away by the police.

"It's worthy of Kudo, who is on a par with me, and I'm ......convinced to lose this time," Hattori Heiji said and turned his head to chat with Kudo Shinichi, "Eh! Kudo? People that? ”。 Hattori searched everywhere but found no trace of Shinichi Kudo......

"No, ......I don't want to be a child again, I'm going to tell Xiaolan that I love her......" Kudo Shinichi began to get smaller before he could find Xiaolan, and in desperation, he could only hide back in the room he came out of......

When Kudo was reasoning just now, he felt that something was wrong with his body, so when everything was over, he left directly, wanting to say that sentence to Xiaolan, but unfortunately......

Taku Yamamoto and Xiaolan received the doctor back to take Conan to the hospital, and on the way they met a group of people from Ikemura Gonge who were handcuffed, and when Hattori Heiji and Taku Yamamoto were on the wrong side, they remembered what Taku Yamamoto had said to him before, and their bodies shook and they called Taku Yamamoto and said, "You already knew, didn't you!" ”

"You care too much about the modus operandi, and you have too much sense of victory! But don't be discouraged, I know the truth because my hearing is beyond ordinary people, and I can hear his heartbeat at the door......" Taku Yamamoto stopped and said calmly with his back to Hattori, ignoring Hattori's reaction after speaking, and walked with Xiaolan towards the room where Conan was.

"Is the sense of victory too strong...... Maybe! But next time, I'll definitely prove it to you next time......" Hattori Heiji muttered as he looked at Takushi Yamamoto's back............
