In Okuhira's study, Kogoro Mori is talking to him about the cause of his son's murder a year ago.

I saw Mori Kogoro say to Mr. Okuhira Kakuzo, who was old-looking, "Can I see a photo of your son at that time?"

Okuhira took out a photo from inside his white trousers and handed it to Kogoro Maori. Then sit back on the couch.

When Mori Kogoro watched the man with his hands and feet tied in the photo. He asked, "Where was the shooting location?" ”

Okuhira replied, "I was on the balcony on the second floor at the time, bored looking at the scenery outside. Just as I was looking at the sun in the clear sky. My nanny suddenly told me that there was something that looked like a corpse in my swimming pool! When I heard this, I hurriedly ran down from my bedroom. Then, the pool was quickly drained. As a result, I found that my son's hands were tied behind his back and his feet were tied with hemp rope. Looking at the obvious soaking wet appearance of the black casual clothes, it means that he was killed last night..."

Mr. Okuhira Kakuzo mentioned the tragic situation when the police carried his son out of the dry swimming pool. Tears suddenly crossed the corners of his eyes.

Mori Kogoro knew how sad it was to lose his son, so he comforted him: "The deceased is gone, so don't worry about the old man." You have to trust me, just leave this matter to me, Mori Kogoro! There is no case that cannot be solved! ”

After hiding from his pants and taking out a white handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, Ao Pingjiao asked suspiciously: "It's been a year since this incident, can you really help us solve this case." ”

Mori Kogoro naturally patted his chest and assured that the decision was fine. However, I would like to ask you who you suspect may be the murderer of your son, based on your knowledge.

Ohei Jiaozang thought for a while, and said to him seriously: "There don't seem to be people outside, because even if there are." My son definitely told me too. Crucially, according to the police detection of all the traces of the fence of my house, there are no traces similar to shoe prints climbing on the wall. Moreover, there are glass slags on the top of the fence of my house. As long as the other party climbs to the top of the fence, then his hand will definitely be punctured by the glass slag! So, the murderer may be my wife Yongzi, and the nanny Kikuyo. Finally, it's the housekeeper Kiro Segawa! ”

Mori Kogoro said that he was not clear at this time. Because isn't your wife your wife, or the mother of your dead son! Let's talk about the nanny and the housekeeper, what reason do they have to kill Mr. Togo?

Okuhira sighed.

Mori Kogoro then expressed his opinion, which is based on the police's inference, that is, I went to Officer Twilight to investigate the file about your son. That is, the time of your son's death is between 9 and 10 p.m. Important, you also said that everyone in the family was watching a home movie at that time. They had no motive to kill, or no time to be there.

After taking a sip of the coffee on the table, Okuhira turned his head to look at the sky. I noticed that it was raining lightly outside.

Then, when he put the white ceramic coffee bowl in his hand on the table. Stick to my opinion, thinking that although I can't find any evidence of them, according to my sixth sense, they definitely have something to hide from me!

Mori Kogoro suddenly thought of something and asked him, "So, is there any secret door in your house that allows people to sneak around or something?" ”

Okuhira understood Mori Kogoro's suspicions and turned his head to look out the window at the wet apple tree. Answer: "No, but all three of them went to the toilet once while they were watching a home movie." ”

Mori Kogoro thinks that they will take advantage of the toilet break to commit crimes.

Okuhira stood up, closed the window behind him, and replied, "Impossible! Because the living room is next to the bathroom. They can't sneak out from under their noses. And the bathroom window is very narrow, if it is a child, it may be passed. If it's an adult, then it's absolutely impossible. ”

Kogoro Mori believes that the chances of them being murderers should be unlikely. Because they don't have a motive to kill your son.

Okuhira pointed to the photograph where the deceased's right hand was covered with a white glove.

Mori Kogoro couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

Then, Oping Kakuzo replied with a frightened face: "That's because two years ago, it was the day our former butler accidentally fell off the cliff!" Then, one of those gloves was the one worn by the deceased former butler! ”

Kogoro Mori replied in surprise, "No." Why did the murderer do that. Is there some secret in it, you didn't tell me! ”

Okuhira Kakuzo's eyes were obviously dodging, although he emphasized too much that three days after his son's death, he found the left glove of the previous housekeeper's other hand!

Mori Kogoro still didn't understand. Because didn't the former housekeeper die in a car accident? According to the results of the police investigation, it was caused by the failure of the brakes at that time.

Okuhir Kakuzo took out his handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and replied, "No, it's not like that." Because the day my son died happened to be the first anniversary of the old housekeeper's death! So..."

Mori Kogoro looked at Okuhira Kakuzo's appearance and thought to himself, "Could it be that there is something else hidden in this car accident?" ”

Just when Ao Pingjiao was in a state of hesitation and didn't know how to explain the situation.

Conan unzipped his yellow sweatshirt and burst into the study.

Maori Kogoro looked at Conan's questioning expression and asked angrily, "Hey little ghost!" When did you come up from the living room? ”

Conan replied, "I've been outside listening to you discussing the cause of your son's death, uncle. I think the murderer was because he thought it was you and your son who killed the old butler. So they wanted to avenge the dead butler. That's why I left the strange white gloves, right? The other glove is probably a death notice for you, right? ”

Oping Kakuzo looked at such a young child, and he was so smart. He was dumbfounded.

Conan looked at the atmosphere and hurriedly said to him. I think that's why you thought of that, and that's why you asked Uncle Maori, right?

Okuhira looked at Conan's smiling look and hurriedly nodded awkwardly in agreement.

Looking at Okuhira Kakuzo's obvious weak heart, Conan thought to himself, "That's right! There must have been something else going on in his son's death. The point is that the cause of the butler's death is indeed strange. So Mr. Opin's suspicions are not a problem. But how did the murderer suspect that the person who killed the old butler was their father and son! ”

After Maori Kogoro saw Xiaolan who followed him, he asked her angrily, "Why don't you take care of the little ghost!" If he loses something in his house, then we are definitely the only suspects! ”

Xiaolan looked at her father's startled appearance, and replied speechlessly: "Because the matter of Hondo Yingyou has been completed." And Conan and I wanted to see what you do, so we came up and took a look. ”

Kogoro Mori was clearly unhappy with their answers. He walked straight to Conan, who was leaning against a porcelain vase cabinet, and he directly pushed Conan's body hard, saying that it was okay to leave quickly! Don't interfere with my case.

Coincidentally, Conan's body collided directly with the porcelain vase with the delicate pattern on it. The porcelain vase fell off the top of the cabinet uncontrollably!

But fortunately, because Eiyu Hondo appeared in time, the bottle that was about to break was protected by him.

After seeing that his bottle was intact, Okuhei suddenly sighed. Tightly, he saw Hondo Eiyu in a brown sweatshirt, and he asked excitedly, "You are Hondo Eiyu." It's been so long, and you're in high school now. ”

Hondo Yingyou nodded, and replied with a smile, "Yes, uncle." I wish I hadn't been back here for five or six years. No, I'm here today to take my mother's relics. ”

After nodding his head, Okuhei Kakuzo said to Hondo Eiyu, your mother is really a good housekeeper. Then he talked about how serious his mother's work was, which made the latter feel embarrassed.

Just when Okuhira Kakuzo kept discussing how good Hondo Eiyu's mother's ability was, the nanny Tabata Kikuyo, who was wearing a pink apron, walked into the study with a disgruntled face.

I only met the angry nanny and replied angrily to him: "Yes, I am very bad indeed." He looks fierce, like someone owes a lot of money. And I don't like to deal with you..."

After seeing his nanny's dissatisfaction, Ohei Kakuzo hurriedly apologized to her and said, "No, I just miss his mother very much." ”

However, nanny Kikuyo Tabata definitely doesn't think so.

Hondo Eiyu, who had not spoken, asked Okuhira Kakuzo, "I heard that your son Kingo passed away last year!" ”

Okuhira nodded sadly, indicating yes. My son was mercilessly killed! After finishing speaking, he seemed to look at his nanny with special eyes.

The nanny thought that he suspected that he was the murderer, and immediately replied angrily: "Why are you looking at me with suspicion?" If you think I'm a murderer, then I'm going to quit right away! ”

When looking at the nanny who seems to have a move to pick a child on the spot. Okuhira Kakuzo hurriedly said comfortingly, no, no. I just couldn't figure out the cause of my son's death, that's why I saw it that way. No, I'm going to ask Mori Kogoro to find out about this.

Only then did the nanny suppress her anger, although her face was still angry.

Immediately afterwards, Okuhira Kakuzo said to the housekeeper Segawa Kiro behind the nanny. You have arranged for Mori Kogoro to be in our guest room so that we can further investigate the case.

When the butler heard his command, he understood.

Then, Okuhira said to the nanny, "You call my wife over and clean up the study." And you, butler, you all come to my study in a moment, and I think I'm going to have a good talk with you.

The butler who was about to lead Mori Kogoro and their butler was suddenly called by Okuhira Kakuzo, and although he didn't know what he meant, he still walked to his side.

As a result, he was scolded by Oping Jiaozang. The reason is that Maori Kogoro shouldn't have broken in suddenly without knocking on the door of his study.

The nanny turned and went to the drawing-room, ready to summon Mrs. Opping into the study.

What happened later...
