Chapter 17: Conan: That's it?
"Brother Chiba! Are there dead people in here"?
Fujiwara Chiba, who was observing the appearance of the deceased's house, didn't notice when Conan came behind him, and only noticed that there was someone behind him when he heard Conan's voice coming from behind.
"Why are you here? The room you live in is also on this floor"?
Conan can be seen here, and only the residents on this floor can hear the cries of 812's guests.
"That's right! I live on the other side of the street, and I just heard someone shouting that someone had killed someone, so I couldn't help but come out and take a look."
Conan pointed to the open door behind him.
"Just you? Hasn't Uncle Maori come back yet"?
Fujiwara Chiba glanced at Conan's room for a second and found that there was no Maori Kogoro, and at this time he knew that the other party should still be in the gentle village.
"Uncle Maori is next door"!
Conan's words surprised Fujiwara Chiba a little, since it was next door, how could there be no reaction when there was such a big movement in the corridor.
It can't be an afternoon of playing cards in the room, right? If that's the case, it's true that you can't hear the movement outside, after all, Fujiwara Chiba has experienced this kind of thing herself, and the peach blossoms that come to Maori Kogoro are indeed going to bloom.
"This friend! Don't be nervous, the police will be back in a while, if your friend's death has nothing to do with you, we will definitely assist the police to clear your name, by the way, I don't know your name yet"?
Fujiwara Chiba asked the reporter who was a little nervous.
"Assistance? What do you do? And my name is Don Benmori, and the one who died in it was my friend, named Yamashita Lang."
After listening to Fujiwara Chiba's words, Don Bensen didn't know what the identity of the other party was, but he still told the identity of himself and his friend.
"Oh! Mr. Domoto, I'm a detective, and I don't know if you've heard of the sleeping detective Kogoro Mori".
In order to gain the trust of the other party, Fujiwara Chiba typed the name of Maori Kogoro, after all, the name of detective is still very useful.
"Ahh You're the detective? That's not right! I read in the newspaper that Kogoro Mori was a man in his 30s with a beard! You"?
Don Benmori recalled Fujiwara Chiba and the photos in the newspaper, and the two were not the same at all.
"Huh! Mr. Domoto, yes, I'm Mr. Mori's assistant, and Mr. Mori is resting in room 815! I'll wake up in a while, I'll find out about the situation first, and I'll report to him later."
Fujiwara Chiba said, pointing to the house number of room 815.
“815? Impossible! Are you sure the Maori detective is now at 815"?
After hearing the room number 815, Don Bensen's expression was a little intriguing, and he asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't have to lie to you, Detective Maori is indeed at 815, I don't believe you ask this kid, he is Conan, Detective Maori's little apprentice."
Fujiwara Chiba pushed Conan out again by the way, after all, reasoning is not his strong point, if it is a murder in the plot, he can still hit a C, but he recalled it several times, and he couldn't think of the plot of this murder.
"My uncle was indeed in room 815, and from about three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw him and a woman walking in, and I don't know if he went out or not."
After listening to Conan's words, Fujiwara Chiba hurriedly corrected: "What kind of woman, maybe she will become your teacher in the future, children should be polite."
After a little criticism of Conan, Fujiwara Chiba looked up at Don Bensen and said, "Now you believe that I am not lying!" Can you tell me if anything special happened to your friend before or after his death"?
"I... I'd better wait for the police to come!"
Don Benson said with some resignation.
I don't know what's going on, but when I heard Fujiwara Chiba report the name of Maori Kogoro, Don Bensen was still very cooperative at that time.
Fujiwara Chiba was a little strange about Domotomori's behavior before and after, and he carefully recalled the conversation just now and the other party's expression in his mind.
815! When Don Bensen heard this room number, his expression was obviously a little stunned, the other party must have known each other in room 815, that person was definitely not Maori Kogoro, and the only thing left was the strange woman who left with Maori Kogoro.
Not only Fujiwara Chiba discovered this clue, but Conan, who is a master of reasoning, also noticed it, and Conan's eyes roamed back and forth between the two rooms, and his fingers supported his chin and began to reason.
"Where are the dead? Who else was the first to discover the deceased"?
Just as Fujiwara Chiba's head was about to explode, a plainclothes policeman walked over with two of his men in police uniforms.
"Hello officer! I'm Don Benson, and the deceased is my roommate, so I'll say yes first! My friend's death has nothing to do with me."
When Don Benson saw the police, he hurriedly defended himself.
"Hello! My name is Koji Fukuyama, and I'm the chief of the patrol department of the Shizuoka Police Station, so as for whether you have any questions, we'll find out until we've checked them, so now you just have to answer our questions."
This Koji Fukuyama is chubby, a bit similar to the figure of Twilight Thirteen, and he doesn't know how to reason, Fujiwara Chiba observed this chubby inspection minister.
"Okay! Officer, you ask! I'll tell you all I know."
Don Benson said cautiously.
"Oda! You bring him to take notes, and Ashin and I will go in and see the dead."
Koji Fukuyama commanded his men on the left.
"Good Boss"!
"Mr. Domoto, please come with me here."
The inspector called Oda led Don Bensen aside and began to question.
Koji Fukuyama walked into the deceased's room with Ashin.
"The body is not all stiff, it should not have been dead for long, foaming at the mouth, and the cause of death is most likely to be poison death."
Koji Fukuyama said as he carefully examined the corpse.
"Then wait for Oda to finish asking, and if he can't ask for useful clues, he will take that Don Bensen back to the police station for a good interrogation."
Fujiwara Chiba heard the conversation between the two policemen at the door, and he didn't expect it at all, and it seemed that there were few policemen who would solve the case with the footbasin chicken.
"Hey! Who got you here? What do you do? ”
Koji Fukuyama, who looked around the room and found nothing, turned around and saw a person staring at them at the door.
"Hello Officer Fukuyama! My name is Fujiwara Chiba, and I'm a detective assistant to Kogoro Maori, and I'm just here to learn how you police solve crimes, and I'm not conscious! I've bothered you."
Although Fujiwara Chiba said that he wanted to learn from the other party, the expression on his face was a little playful.
"Mori Kogoro? That sleeping detective"?
Koji Fukuyama didn't care about Fujiwara Chiba's expression, he was already used to the ridicule of others about their police, and he didn't care what others thought of them.
However, when he heard the name of Mori Kogoro, Koji Fukuyama was overjoyed, thinking that if there was a detective to help, wouldn't the credit for this murder be given in vain?
"Excuse me, Mr. Fujiwara! I don't know where the Maori detective is now"?
Koji Fukuyama's tone became a little flattering.
"The Maori detective is still resting, I'm just here to check on the situation so I can wait for him to get up and report to him."
Fujiwara Chiba felt more and more that Mori Kogoro's name was too good for the police.
"Brother Fujiwara! You look at it as you like".
"Ashin! Go and call Oda and that Don Benmori in, and let Brother Fujiwara ask a few words."
Koji Fukuyama arranged all the things to be done in the future.
"Conan! You go to 815 and knock on the door, call your uncle, and say that there is a murder and ask him to come over."
"And this police officer Ashin, you can go to the monitoring room to take a look at the surveillance and see if anyone else is in and out of here."
Since this Fukuyama police officer is so good, Fujiwara Chiba is ready to call Mori Kogoro out so that the other party can rest assured about what he says.
"Okay! Brother Chiba"!
"Okay! Mr. Fujiwara"!
Conan is now more and more familiar with the identity of a child, and his brother and sister are usually called smoothly.
"Boss! You call us? I'm not done yet!"
Oda led Don Bensen in and wondered.
"You are asking later, first give the notes of your questioning to Mr. Fujiwara to read, and let Mr. Fujiwara see if there is anything that is not filled."
Koji Fukuyama didn't explain, and commanded directly to Ashin.
"Okay! Boss"!
Ashin inspected the notebook in his hand and handed it to Fujiwara Chiba.
Chiba Fujiwara took the notes and looked at them from the beginning.
From the notes, it is learned that Don Bensen came here with him after receiving an invitation from the deceased Yamashita Lang.
There is also a person's name mentioned in it, Shizuka Ishida! This is the ex-wife of the deceased, and the two have been divorced for less than a week.
The reason for the divorce is also recorded above, Yamashita Lang was drunk and domestic violence against his wife, Shizuka Ishida couldn't bear it anymore and submitted a forced divorce to the court.
For this reason, Yamashita Lang was criticized by the top management in his company, and his colleagues ridiculed him, and Yamashita Lang, who felt that he was very faceless, was ready to blackmail his ex-wife Shizuka Ishida with an intimate video of the couple.
After reading the entire note, Fujiwara Chiba thought for a while, if what Don Bensen said was true, then the most suspicious person was the deceased's ex-wife.
"Mr. Domoto, you said that you and the deceased came here to the deceased to blackmail his ex-wife, right?"
Fujiwara Chiba asked Don Benmori, who had a slightly wrong face.
"This...."!
Don Bensen looked at Koji Fukuyama, as if to ask him if he wanted to answer the other party's question.
"What do you think I'm doing? Whatever Brother Fujiwara asks you, explain everything you know, otherwise it will be difficult for you to clear your suspicion."
Koji Fukuyama's words were a little intimidating.
"Yes, yes! I'll make it clear."
"Yes, I didn't want to come, but Yamashita promised me that if the money arrived, he would give me a share, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have seen the money, I knew that there would be a death, and I said that I wouldn't come here."
Don Benson said regretfully.
"Let's not talk about your question first, let's talk about Shizuka Ishida, is she also in this place today?"
"Is there anything you kid is looking for Shizuka"?
As soon as Fujiwara Chiba finished asking, Mori Kogoro walked in with the beautiful woman on the beach, and Conan walked behind helplessly.
"Shizuka? This young lady can't be Shizuka Ishida, right?"
When Fujiwara Chiba heard Maori Kogoro say the name Shizuka, his tone was doting and loving, and he understood it at once.
"What the hell is going on? Does this case have anything to do with Shizuka? ”
"Shizuka! Do you know the dead"?
Maori Kogoro also understood at this time, and asked softly to Shizuka beside him.
"Recognize! He's the ex-husband I mentioned to you, I'm sorry! Ahh I didn't mean to hide it from you, but his death had nothing to do with me."
After Shizuka Ishida finished speaking, she quickly apologized and comforted Kogoro Maori.
"Huh"!
Hearing the word Ah Lang, Fujiwara Chiba felt a stir in his heart, if it wasn't for the wrong place, he would have vomited.
"Don't be afraid! I believe in you, rest assured! With me here, I will definitely find out the real culprit."
Shizuka Ishida's glance made Mori Kogoro directly raise his hand and surrender.
"Shizuka-san! Can you tell us what you're here for?"
Fujiwara Chiba ignored Mori Kogoro's eyes and continued to ask.
This situation made Koji Fukuyama on the side a little unclear So, he couldn't understand that an assistant dared to do it against the detective, but he didn't stop it, as long as he could solve the case, anyone would be the same.
"I came to trade with my ex-husband, and he threatened me with our old intimate video, and if I didn't prepare 20 million for him, he would sell the tape to the video theater."
Shizuka Ishida's answer was similar to what Don Bensen said.
"So is your deal with him done"?
Fujiwara Chiba continued to ask.
"It's done, we finished the deal in the room at noon, and after the tape has been destroyed by me, I went to the beach to calm down, and that's where I met Maori, and Maori knows the rest of the story."
After Shizuka Ishida finished speaking, she and Maori Kogoro glanced at each other affectionately.
"That's right! Right! We stayed together all afternoon, we were not separated, at three o'clock, when we went down to buy wine, we were all together, I don't believe you can go to the front desk to see the surveillance."
It was also at this time that Ashin came over after watching the surveillance.
"Boss! Mr. Fujiwara! I watched the surveillance of the deceased from the time of check-in to the time of death twice, and no one else came in and out except for Miss Ishida in room 815 in the morning, after a few minutes of coming in."
Hearing Ashin's narration, both Chiba Fujiwara and Conan fell into deep thought.
"Money! That's right! Brother Chiba! Did you see that money in your room?"
Conan didn't even go to the scene, just listening to the conversations of a few people, he found the point of the problem, worthy of Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era, this kind of murder without any skills, for him it was as simple as drinking water.
"Hey! Where are you going"?
Just as Conan asked for the money, Don Benson quietly stepped back.
"Stop him! Don't let him run"!
As Fujiwara Chiba's voice fell.
"Bang"!
Don Benson was kicked back by Xiaolan, who came back from the mad street.
"Hiss......"!
Seeing Don Benson's tragic situation, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect that the girl who looked gentle was so terrifying.
"Chiba! What's going on? Is something happening"?
Fei Yingli asked strangely when she saw that even the police had appeared.
"That's the ........"!
After Fujiwara Chiba's explanation, Fei Yingli and Xiaolan understood the cause and effect.
When Xiaolan heard that Maori Kogoro and Shizuka Ishida had been in the house for an afternoon, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Don Benson, who had fainted by Xiaolan's kick, woke up.
According to his confession, it turned out that Yamashita Lang had repented of the promise he had promised to give him, and Don Benmori, who was blinded by money, was angry and took advantage of Yamashita Lang's sleep to drip the snake venom of the seven-step snake into the other party's mouth.
