In room 2004 of the Rice Flower Hotel, they found Professor Itakura, who had died unexpectedly.

Although Conan was loudly reprimanded by Kogoro Maori, he still carefully observed the furnishings in the room to see if anything he found.

Looking at the neat bed, it seems to prove that Professor Itakura is a person who loves cleanliness. And nothing obvious was found to be wrong.

However, he believes that the murderer is definitely one of them. But why did he do it?

At this time, Conan was thinking about how to take Professor Itakura's diary, and what he hoped to find out about the USB flash drive. But seeing Mori Kogoro looking at him like a thief, he had to sit on the bed next to the room speechlessly, waiting for the arrival of the police.

After 30 minutes.

Officer Twilight and the others rush to room 2004 to see what happened.

Officer Takagi explained, "The deceased, Taku Itakura, was a software development engineer. He is 45 years old. ”

Officer Twilight asks the forensic officer. Did you find anything?

At this point, the forensic officer in a white coat holding a notebook explained, "I haven't found much for the time being. Maybe it's because of the sudden illness or death. You see, this medicine is a treatment for sudden asthma..."

Officer Twilight, wearing white gloves, nods as she holds the asthma medication the forensic officer handed her. Then he said that he would carry Professor Itakura away for a while, and then proceed to the next step of the test.

Officer Chiba, who was wearing a green T-shirt, came over and said that according to his personal doctor, his condition was very serious, so...

Officer Twilight thinks that with the above clues, it seems that the case can be closed by accident.

Kogoro Mori smiled awkwardly as Officer Twilight said that. said: "Since the case was closed by accident, then there is nothing to do with me." Conan, let's go. ”

The three were speechless. Because their important software may be finished because of his death. Now it's good to discuss what to do.

Officer Takagi notices that something is wrong. Because the time of his death was actually two days, and for such a long time, didn't he eat?

Mr. Naito explains, "When he is working, he likes a quiet environment the most. So..."

Ryusuke Soma also agreed: "He has a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. So what you can do by yourself will be solved by yourself. For example, changing bed sheets, delivering food, etc. And the things we can't touch him. Otherwise, what will be ushered in is his scolding. ”

Officer Takagi nodded and said, "I see." ”

Officer Twilight looks at the three strange people, indicating that they are...

Mori Kogoro hurriedly introduced: "They are the ones who entrusted me, and it was he who I found Mr. Itakura, who had been dead for two days. ”

Officer Twilight shakes her head, saying that it is truly a tragedy.

Conan looked at them so arbitrarily. Hurriedly interrupted their work as they prepared to call it a day. "No, it's..."

Based on Conan's explanation, they found out that this was indeed the case. If it is a sudden accident and death, then there will be more or less traces of saliva on the table. But it is clear that only the corners of the mouth are there, and not on the table, how is this.

Officer Twilight thinks Conan is right. If that's the case, he'll have no time to wipe his saliva. It can be seen from the action of knocking over the medicine bottle that he doesn't even have time to take medicine, so how can he have time to wipe the saliva on the table. There is only one possibility, and that is to be erased by the murderer. But why is that?

The forensic officer thinks I've noticed a lot of things wrong. For example, his palms are not in the right position. If he dies of illness on the table, then his right arm should fall vertically, and then slowly stiffen. But his action was very strange. But he clasped his hands on his chest. Obviously...

Officer Twilight thinks that this will not be anywhere else, and then...

Kogoro Mori then came up with a bold idea. said, "Could it be someone tied to a chair and..."

Officer Twilight thinks this makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his death.

Mori Kogoro was speechless for a moment. It's actually crooked. This is another homicide case.

Officer Twilight then asks, "Are there any valuable clues from him, such as strangulation marks or something..."

"No, but judging by the strange bruising signs in the rest of him, it seems to be oppressed in some way."

The feisty Conan suddenly notices that something is wrong with the blanket. So he shouted, "This blanket is so soft and warm." And it's sticky. ”

Maoriran knew that Conan was making trouble again. Quickly takes Conan away, and apologizes to Officer Twilight.

At this point, Officer Twilight remembered something and said, "yes, maybe Itabura-san with a blanket, and..."

Kogoro Mori believes that this is also possible.

(Actually, it's not all over with a single knife.) Or just let him take medication for insomnia, and then it's fine. Why so much trouble. ）

At this time, Officer Takagi noticed that there were traces of adhesive tape sticking to the corner of the table on the left-hand side, which was just in time for what Conan said.

Officer Twilight begins to reason with herself: "First, immobilize Professor Itakura, and then untie the tangled body when he dies." Finally, put on what we saw on the spot. But why did he bother. ”

(I also suspect that wouldn't be good enough to just let him sleep?) This makes it a little more natural. ）

Officer Twilight begins instructing Officer Chiba to investigate if any suspicious person has been here in recent days.

At this point, Mori Kogoro suddenly thought of something and said to Officer Twilight, "I remember when I was on the phone at the hotel, it seemed that the same people said the same thing as me. ”

Officer Twilight immediately asks with interest, "Oh, tell me what you told them." ”

Then he said, it is to borrow chess to play Go and chess. But they directly pointed out that it was Professor Itakura's room. So...

Officer Twilight hastened to ask Officer Takagi to see if what Kogoro Mori said was true.

Sure enough, three days ago, someone imitated Itakura-san to find his address.

(At this time, Mr. Naito looked at each other with panicked and questioning eyes.) It seems that the other party killed Mr. Itakura. ）

Officer Twilight watches that all three have a motive for murder. So he asked, "You three are very coincidental, why are there strange chess, Go and chess on the ground near the bed?" Is it really just to urge Mr. Itakura to hurry up and complete your commission? ”

Mr. Sube looked at Officer Twilight's unkind gaze and said in surprise, "If I'm a murderer, why would I go to a Maori detective?" Isn't this a fly going to the toilet and looking for? ”

Ryusuke Soma said, "This time we paid a lot of money. If there is any suspicion, I think Mr. Naito is the most suspicious. ”

Mr. Naito retorted, "Who knows if it's one of the two of you, and if I'm the murderer, why would I be the first to ask for a Maori detective." ”

They suddenly entered a state of anxiety.

Conan felt that his time had come.

Conan pointed to Professor Itakura's diary in his travel bag and said, "Maybe we can find a clue in his diary." ”

(Actually, he was investigating the black organization on his own, so that's why...) ）

Officer Twilight thinks about it, and that's right. So I opened Professor Itakura's diary before his death, hoping to find some valuable clues.

(His diary is kept on a USB stick.) ）

Officer Takagi used Conan's prompts to find a USB flash drive with a diary on it.

Kogoro Maori objected, saying that the content about him in it might have been deleted. If I were the murderer, I would have done it.

Officer Twilight thinks let's take a look. Maybe there's something we're looking for.

Subsequently, they successfully read the contents of the USB flash drive through Professor Itakura's laptop.

Officer Takagi opened the folder with the diary and said, "If you look at the date and notepad inside, he has been writing diaries for five years. You see..."

Sure enough, it was written the contents of his diary. For example, he joined the Computer Exchange Association in country Y three years ago, and two years ago he was walking and accidentally fell and so on. It doesn't seem to have much value.

Conan naively thinks that there is absolutely something in the diary that we want.

Officer Takagi dragged through the contents of the folder and found the most recent diary.

Officer Takagi said excitedly, "Look, this is the latest diary. He wrote that some strange people have been looking for me lately, could it be that they have found me. No way. Anyway, it's a big deal, I'll change the hotel and forget it. ”

Mori Kogoro looked at the three men with a sharp sword gaze and said, "Okay, since you are playing me like a monkey." Why is one of the three of you looking for me when he knows where he is? ”

The three of them responded to Mori Kogoro with a dull gaze, which made Mori Kogoro very unhappy.

(If I feel that I have been tricked, I must be very unhappy.) Now that you all know it, why do you want me to look for it? Do you think your modus operandi is very masterful? Still look down on me. ）

When Conan saw this USB flash drive, he started to think carefully. He said to Officer Takagi, "Since this USB flash drive is useless, then I can put the USB flash drive in its original place." ”

Officer Takagi felt that Conan had a point, so he agreed to Conan's request. Who knows, Conan played a clever trick, he secretly put Professor Itakura's USB flash drive in his pocket and hid it.

But Officer Twilight sees Conan's little move. He snatched it back from the USB flash drive that Conan was about to put in his pocket, and said to Conan, "This may be the key evidence, and children can't touch it." ”

After watching Officer Twilight take the USB flash drive and put it in a special plastic evidence bag, Conan thought to himself, "I must take it out, and prove to Li Xiaohui that I am also very good." But first, I have to solve this murder case first. So who is the murderer..."
