Chapter 038: The Elements of Murder in a Closed Room
"My name is Katayama...... It's the owner of a café, I never expected it...... There's a dead man in my café........."
Katayama looked at the scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, sure enough, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, how could he escape when he got on Kexue's thief ship.
At this time, a middle-aged man was lying in his café, and strangely enough, everything else in the café had completely disappeared.
In the empty container, only this middle-aged man was lying inside, and there were blood stains everywhere, as if he was bleeding and smearing blood everywhere inside.
His head was almost blood-red, and it looked like he was bleeding to death.
Katayama resisted the urge to vomit and called the police, tnnd, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this business, and it is estimated that the art festival will be enough.
According to the case-handling procedures, the school's art festival is afraid to be directly closed, and then the correspondents will be checked and recorded.
Moreover, he will be listed as a suspect.........
Zoro leaned on Katayama's shoulder, looking at the corpses in the store, and frowned.
Blame...... It's weird.........
It's not so much weird as illogical.........
The door here has a deadbolt, which means that the door is locked from the inside.
Apparently, Katayama was unable to open the café at this time because the deadbolt had already been drawn.
However, the front of this container is completely glass walls and glass doors, and the situation inside is completely unobstructed...... In addition, the tables, chairs, benches and utensils inside no longer know where to go, and in the empty container, there is only the middle-aged man who fell to the ground......
There is simply no other exit to get out than the glass doors.........
Was it the deceased who locked himself in it and then hit his head on various parts of the container until he knocked himself to death?
No kidding, how is that possible.
That is to say......... Murder in a closed room?
Zoroma sensed this problem, and such a container could indeed be said to be a secret room in theory.
But how should such a locked room murder be carried out? There are almost no cracks in the glass doors here, and it is impossible to make a secret room out of something like fishing line.........
So how exactly is it done.........
Zorro pondered, it almost confirmed that this incident was a murder in a closed room, but there was no evidence or clue.
Katayama pondered, he almost confirmed that his money-making plan this time was in vain, but he had no one to vent his bitterness.
The old turtle pondered, it was almost sure that Katayama must have forgotten it, otherwise it would not be possible to still tuck it in his hood! It's going to die of thirst!
…………
"Morning! Katayama boss! ”
Yukiko's voice came from behind Katayama, and she was slightly upset when she found out that Katayama didn't pay attention to her.
"What are you looking at, so fascinating........."
She leaned over to Katayama's side, and as Katayama's gaze grew, her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed.........
………
"Vomit......... ......... vomit"
Seeing such a bloody scene, Yukiko immediately went to the bathroom and vomited, and Katayama could hear her vomiting inside while standing at the door...... After all, it's the first time I've seen a dead person, which is understandable.
Although it was the first time he had seen it, seeing Yukiko's reaction made him feel less uncomfortable.
Sort of like ...... When some children cry, as long as you cry louder than him, then there is a chance that you can suppress his emotions back and stop crying in the end.
…… He prefers to call it emotional relativism.
"I have already called the police to deal with it, and the police will contact the person in charge of the school......... I don't think you can do this festival......"
"That's too much...... It's all dead, but you're only worried about the festival......"
“………”
Katayama choked on Yukiko's words...... Good guy, what is a dead man, but he only cares about the art festival, isn't he just stating the facts.........
………
"The deceased's name is Ichiro Yoshino, 45 years old, male, and he is the director of the finance department of this school."
The police who arrived quickly cordoned off the scene, and the cordon attracted a group of students...... After all, their festival is in a state of no classes.
"The condition of the body will have to wait for the specific results of the autopsy, but I think it should have been a blow to the head and died."
"Then, the container was previously completely sealed, and the deadbolt could only be locked from the inside........."
Listening to the forensic officer's explanation, Twilight nodded, and killed people in the secret room...... It's quite a tricky event, and none of the secret room murders he encountered recently have the same methods!
"In addition, the person who called the police is this Mr. Katayama."
Katayama was brought to Twilight by the police, after all, as a reporter, the procedure to go through still has to be followed.
"May I ask why you, as the owner of the café, are in this school?"
"Because it's an art festival, as a café in cooperation with the school, of course I'm going to come over to set up a stall, and this container was also arranged for me by the school."
Twilight continued to nod, which was in line with what the school officials had told him, and that should preliminarily rule out Katayama's suspicions.
After all, there is no motive, and the stall is also arranged by the school, so it is unlikely that Katayama will do it, of course, it is only a preliminary exclusion, and he is not completely excluded.
He also did not believe that it was a suicide, and the blood stains were everywhere in the container, which was proof that the victim's head was bumped in various places.
And every time it was bloody.
If this is a suicide, then this Yoshino Ichiro came to the container alone in the middle of the night, bolted the door bolt, hit his head everywhere, and knocked himself to death in the container.
It's so bizarre...... Not to mention what he came to this temporary café in the middle of the night, and he slowly knocked himself to death after hitting again and again, the pain of the process made the old policeman Twilight feel a little chill down his back.
Even if it was a person who wanted to die, he didn't think that he would choose such a painful death.
"Let's investigate the surveillance and the like, can you find out when Ichiro Yoshino came to this container."
"We have contacted the school for this, but due to temporary construction in this area, the cameras have temporarily stopped monitoring.........
"That's a problem...... So can you find the last person to see him.........
Twilight bled his cheeks and thought, there were no clues, no suspects, this case had already started to give him a headache......
"Well, I think, we're the last people to see him!"
Twilight's childish voice reaches Twilight's ears, causing Twilight to look up and see the familiar moustache in a suit holding Conan, looking at him with a sneer on his face.
"Now, long time no see, Twilight Police Department!"
Maori greeted as if nothing had happened.
Twilight is hanging a dead fish and looking at Maori, and sure enough, any tricky case has nothing to do with this guy!
