Chapter 72: Mori Kogoro's Class Reunion IV

was told by the old boss that he and Yamamoto Yoshitsuru were a couple, Mao Lilan was suddenly ashamed, and said with a red face: "He and I are not a couple!" The reason why we came back at that time was because the fireworks started to go off, so we came back and called Aunt Yumi! After that, I walked to Aunt Yumi's room and wanted to wake her up. ”

"I stopped them!" Kazushi Nakamichi took over and said, "Because Yumi hates being woken up the most, I think it's better not to wake her up." The reason why I didn't leave at that time was because I took a shower, and I thought that if I went to watch the fireworks with sweat, it would be bad for Maori and Ah Chun. ”

"We were also at the hotel at that time!" Yukio Ayaki also said, "Noriko and I took a bath in the open-air bath and washed off the sweat on our bodies. ”

"However, if we had called Yumi up at that time, maybe she wouldn't" Noriko Ayaki said as she took off her glasses and wiped the tears from her eyes, very sad.

"What are you talking about, wife!" Seeing this, Yukio Ayajo hurriedly comforted: "Yumi, she died when we were playing billiards, even if you call her, it won't be in time." ”

"Ah Chun, what are you hiding? You've been around since the evening, and it's not quite right! After listening to the words of a few people, Maori Kogoro grabbed Jun Omura's yukata tightly on the side and asked angrily, "You say! What the hell are you hiding? Could it be you?"

"It's not me!" Jun Omura loudly interrupted Mori Kogoro's speculation, and then said with an ugly face: "I accidentally saw it!" It was when I was playing billiards, I accidentally saw it when I went to the toilet, and I saw Yumi! ”

Mori Kogoro let go of Jun Omura when he heard this, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, it was already five o'clock when you went to the toilet, and it was about three o'clock in the afternoon when Yumi died, how could you see her." ”

"Yes, that's right! That's when I saw Yumi, who was already dead! Jun Omura said loudly with a frightened face: "She stared at every move of the billiard court from the window on the second floor with a serious expression at that time!" ”

Noriko Ayashiro said in disbelief: "No, Yumi has died a long time ago, how is this possible!" ”

Zhongdao and Zhi said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, there can't be such a thing!" ”

Looking at the crowd who seemed to be arguing, one of the middle-aged men in the hotel staff couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, what happened to our Benkei Hotel?" What are you talking about? ”

Mori Kogoro, who was thinking of clues, replied, "We have a friend who was shot dead in his room, and the police are already on their way here. ”

The middle-aged man said with some horror: "That murderer can't be one of you, right?" ”

"How so! Of course it's impossible, the murderer is someone other than us. Mori Kogoro smiled reluctantly and waved his hand, saying as he walked, "You don't have to worry! Kazushi, I'll leave it to you next, I want to go and make it easier. ”

"Hey, Kogoro!" Kazushi Nakamichi shouted helplessly while dealing with the innkeeper and others.

Glancing at Mori Kogoro who was leaving, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru walked behind and followed, and seeing that Conan was also following behind, the two couldn't help but look at each other, with a smile on their faces, obviously both of them had discovered.

Yoshizuru Yamamoto walked up to Mori Kogoro and whispered, "Master Mori, I think the murderers are a few people in this hotel, and if it were outsiders, it would be impossible to disguise the scene as a suicide." ”

"Bang!" A punch slammed into the wall, and Mori Kogoro held back his anger and whispered, "Of course I know that the murderer is one of my four college classmates." I don't know what he killed Yumi for or what method he used, but this time, I will never spare the murderer. I'm going to expose him, just wait and see! ”

Speaking of this, Maori Kogoro calmed down a little and asked out loud, "Yamamoto, have you noticed any clues?" ”

"I think what Jun Omura said is worth noting!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto nodded and said, "Although it is said that the estimated time of death when the body is examined is around three o'clock in the afternoon, since Jun Omura has seen it, it means that there is a problem." Perhaps the killer used some unknown method to prolong the death of the corpse so that it looked like it had died around 3 p.m. ”

"You're right, it's a possibility." Mori Kogoro nodded and thought about it: "I remember that when I was a criminal police officer before, there was also such a case. If you die suddenly during strenuous exercise, the protein in the human muscles can easily and quickly coagulate, so the stiffness after death will be faster than that of ordinary people. ”

"If that's the case," Mori Kogoro said to himself, "Yumi is also a possibility, and the time of her death is not about seven hours. But how did Yumi die? And how did the killer get her to exercise? ”

"Billiards!" Conan tilted his head and said with a cute face: "Just like we play billiards in the afternoon, isn't it okay to play billiards?" And I saw it, Aunt Yumi held the gun in the same way as when she held the racket. ”

Mori Kogoro, who was just about to curse the "little ghost", couldn't help but think about it after listening to Conan's words. The imp was right, Yumi's hand holding the gun was the same as the handshake style she was used to, which meant that she had played with someone before she was killed. In this way, it can be said that Yumi's miscalculation of the time of death, and it can also explain the figure that Ah Chun saw at that time. At that time, Yumi was not dead at all, she was staring at her every move on the billiard court, I was afraid that the murderer made an appointment to meet her there, so she would keep paying attention to the billiard court, and then be seen by Ah Chun, right? It must be so! In this case, he is most likely the murderer!

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro turned his head to Yamamoto Yoshitsuru and said, "Yamamoto, have you noticed any other clues?" I now have a clue and a suspect, but unfortunately there is still little evidence. ”

"Actually, I already have a proof!" Yoshitsuru Yamamoto couldn't help but look in the direction of the corridor hall and whispered, "This is also the reason why I doubt him." Do you remember what Mr. Kazushi Nakamichi said when we found the body? ”

"Kazushi?" Mori Kogoro recalled what Nakamichi Kazushi said when everyone entered the room, and said in surprise: "That's right! I remember that at that time, Kazushi asked you to call a police car directly, which means that he knew that Yumi was dead. Why does he know? It's not because he's the murderer! Speaking of which, he didn't go to the bathroom either, turned around and walked back to the hall.

Seeing this, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto and Conan smiled at each other, and then followed behind.

Looking at Nakamichi Kazushi, who was still appeasing the hotel staff, Maori Kogoro shouted: "Don't make any noise!" ”

was shouted by Maori Kogoro, and the people in the hall were stunned, and they all looked over in surprise, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Mori Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, and without waiting for them to ask, he said first: "I already know who the murderer is!" It's Kazushi you! He pointed to Nakamichi Kazushi as he spoke.

"What? Kazushi killed Yumi?! The group looked at Kazushi Nakamichi in disbelief.

Nakamichi Kazushi waved his hand and smiled reluctantly: "No kidding, Yumi's time of death was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I was playing with you on the billiard court at that time." ”

Maori Kogoro sneered: "That's right! So you have a perfect alibi, but only if Yumi actually dies around three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Huh?" Nakamichi Kazushi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What are you talking about, the autopsy after Yumi's death was obviously done by me and the two of you." ”

Maori Kogoro said calmly: "At that time, Yumi's body did start to stiffen even her toes, so I thought that Yumi's death must have been more than seven hours." But there is an exception, and that is sudden death that occurs during intense exercise. At this time, the protein in the human muscle is easy to coagulate quickly, so the stiffness after death will also be faster than the average person. ”

Nakamichi Kazushi waved his hand and said: "Kogoro, but Yumi's Chen corpse is in her room, you can tell me about it, what kind of exercise can I let her do in her room?" ”

"No, Yumi didn't play sports in his room before she died, but on the billiard court. During the period before Yumi's death, you were playing billiards with her. I think you may have made an appointment with Yumi to meet her at the billiard court, so before that, you suggested that everyone play on the billiard court, and Yumi would of course go back to her room angrily. But after six o'clock, we all went out, and Yumi would be at the pool court where you were already waiting, and I think you must have some secrets to talk about, so Yumi's kind of person would agree to your invitation to play with her. After she had been exercising for a while, on her way back to her room, you were in her room and killed her with that pistol. The reason why the time of death is greatly advanced is to create your alibi. The best proof of this"

Looking at his father who was reasoning, Mao Lilan couldn't help but say to himself: "Dad is so amazing! ”

"Master Maori is really good!" Yoshizuru Yamamoto, who was standing beside her, nodded approvingly, then touched her with his shoulder, and said softly: "Xiaolan, at first that old man said that we were a couple!" ”
