Chapter 52: He Died Peacefully
The interior of the Harada Mansion is roughly the same as that of the courtyard, and it is simple and clear, and there is hardly a single piece of furniture that is superfluous. There are one or two retro knick-knacks in the corner display case, and it can be seen that the deceased was a lover of classical style during his lifetime.
When Officer Twilight and his party entered the deceased's bedroom, the body was lying on the ground with its back against the floor-to-ceiling window, and directly opposite was the reading room of the Kawano Shin House, where the two houses were far away from each other, and they could see each other without drawing the curtains.
Kenji Hagiwara, Shinichi Kudo, and Mori Ran followed up the scene as the first discoverers, standing at the door without stepping into the bedroom, and Mori Kogoro also followed as a guardian, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded with disdain on his face.
"Cut, why am I bringing these two imps here?" Maori Kogoro muttered quietly with a stinky face.
was supposed to drink beer and hit small steel balls on a good weekend, but he was called by Yingli on the phone, not to mention a tricky commission, and was inexplicably involved in a murder case.
Maori Kogoro glanced at Kudo Shinichi, and always felt that this kid would be fine as soon as he came over.
"Well—maybe the Maori seniors were summoned by the case," Kenji Hagiwara smiled as he moved two steps to block the two children's view of the room, "Instructor Onizuka has always been worried about you, and we've all heard about your legend at the police academy." ”
Mori Kogoro was so praised that he got carried away and instantly rolled up his sleeves with full energy.
"Ahaha-that's natural, sooner or later, my detective Kogoro Mori will become a detective Kogoro Mori! Isn't it just a small case, my detective will solve it for you! ”
Mori Kogoro laughed so hard that even the Twilight Police Department and Toru Asada in the house couldn't help but glance at the door.
Kudo Shin, who knew the nature of Maori Kogoro, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but say "hehe" twice: "Is Uncle Maori actually have such a good reputation in your police academy?" ”
"Am I not right," Kenji Hagiwara leaned down and touched Kudo Shinichi's head amusedly, "You just claimed to be a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, and I thought you were learning detective knowledge from Maori seniors." ”
"Idiots will learn from that sloppy uncle!" Shinichi Kudo swore to defend his dignity to the death.
Mori Kogoro didn't hear the conversation between Kenji Hagiwara and Shinichi Kudo, he rushed into the deceased's bedroom full of energy, looked around and then suddenly slapped his palm: "Dusk Police Department, I know who the prisoner is!" ”
"Really, Maori brother?" The Twilight Police Department looked up excitedly.
"That's right." Mori Kogoro cleared his throat in a tricky way, "The deceased has strangulation marks on his neck, apparently died from homicide, and judging from the time the body stiffened, the time of death was less than an hour. ”
"Eiri and I have been staying in Mr. Kawano's living room for a long time, and we can see the situation on the road, and you are the only one who has appeared nearby during this time."
Mori Kogoro pointed sternly at Kenji Hagiwara's nose.
"In other words, you're the murderer—hey, what's your name?"
Kenji Hagiwara smiled very reluctantly: "Mori-senpai, if you had been keeping an eye on the road, you should know that I hadn't entered Mr. Harada's house - and there is a road monitor on the road at the door, which can help me prove it." ”
"Is that so—" Mori Kogoro scratched his head and muttered again, "You're a suspicious character here, I thought it would be a proof." ”
Kenji Hagiwara: "......"
Please don't say that with such regrets.
On the surface, at the scene of the investigation, Toru Asada, who had actually been eating melons with his ears on his ears, added funny: "And the murder weapon was not found in the house, he had no pockets on him, and it was impossible to carry the murder weapon with him." ”
The blood marks on the neck of the body were particularly obvious, but there was no rope-like object to be found in the house for a while.
"By the way," Toru Asada gestured to his side with a gloating face, "his name is Kenji Hagiwara." ”
Kenji Hagiwara frowned.
As we all know, there are two species living in rumors and reality, and no one knows how many layers of beautification filters Instructor Onizuka had in his eyes when he recalled his proud disciple, or if the Maori predecessors might just hide it - but at least at the time, he inexplicably had a sense of disillusionment that his three views were shattered into slag along with the filter.
The black-haired young man barely kept smiling, and patted the little detective on the shoulder without saying anything: "...... I apologize to you for what I just said. ”
Only fools will worship him as a teacher.

The deceased's business license and driver's license were placed in front of the bedside table in the bedroom, and it was easy to determine the place of work, and after being gaged by the Maori detective for a while, it did not delay the business, and after a while, the little police officer, whose name is still unknown, handed over the relevant investigation report with a red face.
"Hanao Harada, male, 58 years old, a surgeon at Kakudo Central Hospital," Toru Asada put on white gloves and looked around the room, his gaze skimmed over the balcony and fell on the deceased, "Just now our people asked about Kakudo Central Hospital, Mr. Harada has always had a good reputation, there has never been a bad record or medical malpractice, and the relationship between colleagues and doctors and patients is also very good." ”
The little police officer's soft voice took over the conversation: "Just now we called up the surveillance on the side of the road, Officer Hagiwara just passed by by accident, and his figure has been under surveillance all the time, and he has not approached Mr. Harada's residence, so the suspicion should be ruled out." ”
"There are three other people who have visited Mr. Harada within the course of the day."
"One is Mr. Mizuta Nakamichi, 36 years old, who is currently working as a salesperson at the Rice Flower Department Store, and his sister, who used to be a patient of Mr. Harada, came here at 9 o'clock this morning and drove away in 20 minutes."
"The other is Ms. Kokaeda, 42 years old, who is currently an administrative assistant in the company, and has no direct contact with Mr. Harada, but her son, who used to be a patient at the Kakudo Central Hospital, showed up here at 11 o'clock at noon today and left in 25 minutes."
"The last one is Mr. Koichi Tachibana, a 25-year-old graduate student at Tokyo Medical University, who is currently interning under Mr. Harada, who came at two o'clock this afternoon, stayed for ten minutes and left."
The little police officer paused, cautiously glanced at the Dusk Police Department, and only after receiving the signal did he open the report in his hand and continued: "The monitoring of the road only covers the road in front of the door, and there is no record of the sides and rear of the house, but our forensic personnel said that there is no trace of climbing on the railing fence around it, and the only entrance and exit is only on the side of the gate. ”
"That's strange, it's half past four in the afternoon, and if the time of death is less than an hour, these three people are not suspicious." Mori Kogoro frowned.
Officer Twilight lowered his head and thought to no avail, and looked around at his newly recruited subordinates: "Brother Aada, do you have any ideas—Brother Asada?" ”
The brown-haired young man was staring at the corpse in a daze, and when he heard this, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Twilight Police Department.
"There was indeed a big discovery." Toru Asada nodded with a look of conviction.
Officer Twilight's eyes lit up for a moment: "It's worthy of Brother Asada, let's hear it?" ”
"This man, he-"
"What's wrong with him?" Officer Twilight asked eagerly.
"He-"
"How?"
"He died peacefully."
Twilight Police Department: "......"
Who asked you this.
