75 Chrissy's gossip
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
In the corner of the venue, taking the report of the Forensic Section, Kuroba Kaito smiled and watched the officers of the Forensic Bureau leave.
He had indeed asked someone from the Forensic Division to analyze the strange stain on President Owada's kimono, but he didn't expect them to move so quickly......
It seems that in addition to being not very good at arresting people and solving cases, these police officers are still very capable in other aspects......
"Officer Sato, what's on the report?" Karasuma Ying and Conan hurriedly asked.
"Let me see."
Kuroba Kaito opened the report and read it aloud.
"The stain on the kimono is the bodily fluids of a cancer spider, a spider that grows in Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and is a very fast-moving and very timid spider.
Cancer spiders are beneficial insects that mainly eat cockroaches and other pests, but they are not very popular because of their long legs and scary appearance......
Is that kimono the bodily fluids of a spider? ”
Closing the report, Black Feather Kaito thought thoughtfully.
"But why do spider bodily fluids appear on President Owada's kimono? Could it be that he was attacked by a spider? ”
"It can't be."
Gray Yuan Wai suddenly appeared next to the three of them at some point, and said in a cold voice:
"Cowardly spiders will never take the initiative to attack humans, I think it is more likely that people should take the initiative to contact the spider."
"In other words, President Owada wanted to eliminate the spiders in the room, and accidentally got the spider's body fluids on his clothes on the way?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"No, it shouldn't and can't ......"
Gray Yuan Wai vetoed him again, and pulled out the house catalogue for tonight's party issued by Ed Company from behind him.
"As mentioned in this journal, President Owada himself hates insects so much that he even changed the theme design of Ed from a butterfly to a heart."
Gray Yuan Wai flipped the page of the house book recording this incident to the eyes of the three of them.
"It is impossible for such a person to kill a spider even if he does not hesitate to stain his clothes."
"So, the spider was actually put on President Owada's chest by someone else?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"There are so many suspicious coincidences that this is definitely not suicide." Conan affirmed.
But what method did the murderer use? And during the first wave of fireworks, President Owada was obviously in the observation room, and during this time, he ......
"Several, what are you whispering?"
Suddenly, Chrissy appeared behind the four of them with another glass of red wine, and asked with a smile.
[Belmode?! When did she come over? 】
"Is there anything wrong with you? Miss Chrissy? ”
Moving his foot slightly to block in front of several people, Karasuma Ying looked at her expressionlessly and asked.
"It's nothing special, it's just that I noticed a strange place just now, so I'm a little curious......"
Standing beside the four of them, Chrissy stretched out her hand and pointed to the old butler who was talking to Mrs. Sandong not far away, and asked:
"Don't you think that old butler is a little strange compared to before?"
"Strange?"
The four of them followed her pointers, and among them, the often disguised Black Feather Kaito was the first to spot the anomaly.
"Gloves."
"What?" Karasuma looked at him suspiciously.
"Butler's gloves are gone."
Quickly recalling it in his mind, Kuroba Kaito said with great certainty:
"I remember very well that when I was at the venue before, the housekeeper was still wearing a pair of white gloves on his hands, and those gloves are now gone.
But is there anything wrong with that? ”
"Speaking of which, this old butler is actually a poor man......"
Looking at the still puzzled expressions of the four people, Chrissy shook the red wine in the glass and said leisurely:
"I've heard a rumor before that the wife of the housekeeper seems to be seriously ill and needs long-term treatment, and the cost of treatment is astronomical......
For this reason, he has worked hard for the Owada family for many years, and he often does things like buying birthday gifts for President Owada's lover......"
"Lover? Do you mean Lady Sandong? Kuroba Kaito asked.
"Nope."
Smiling and shaking her head, Chrissy lowered her voice and said meaningfully:
"It's the housewife of the Owada family, Chie Shimizu."
"What?!"
All four were shocked by the news at the same time.
"Shh
Raising her index finger to suggest that the four of them be quieter, Chrissy continued:
"Whisper, this is gossip, few people know about it.
This Chie Shimizu is not an ordinary housewife, after the death of President Owada's ex-wife, she became the closest person to President Owada's side.
It can even be said that the two of them are actually a nameless couple.
So, when President Owada and the current Mrs. Sandong got married, many people were surprised.
After all, before this, many people thought that President Owada would marry Chie Shimizu.
But what is even more unexpected is that after marrying Mrs. Sandong, he will still keep his 'old lover' Shimizu Chie by his side as a housewife......
Tut-tut, so men, it's really greedy. ”
"Miss Chrissy, do you know Chie Shimizu's birthday?" Suddenly thinking of something, Black Feather Kaito hurriedly asked.
"You should ask him about this......"
Chrissy gestured with her eyes to the stinging of the stingers not far away.
"After all, the dutiful old butler buys birthday gifts for President Owada's real lover every year......
"Let's go."
Glancing meaningfully at her, Karasuma Ying walked over first.
"Mr. Jersey."
"Huh? Karasuma-sama? What's wrong? Just after ordering a waiter, Xi Qizhe looked at several people who were walking towards him at the same time.
"I want to ask, Ms. Shimizu, the housewife of the Owada family, when is her birthday?"
"Uh, Karasuma-sama, ...... you ask this?"
"The investigation is needed, we feel that she is very likely to be the murderer of President Owada, and we ask you to cooperate and not hide it." Black Feather Kaito panicked.
"What? Shimizu her?! Officer Twilight didn't say ......"
"Please cooperate."
"I see...... Her birthday should be June 28. Without asking anything, he replied truthfully.
"Understood, we will continue to investigate, thank you for your cooperation."
After receiving this news, several people turned around and wanted to leave, and at this moment, Karasuma Ying asked as if casually:
"By the way, Mr. Shan Qi, why don't you wear gloves?"
"Oh, the composite puppet sculpture in the banquet hall was blocking the way, I moved it a bit, I didn't notice that there was some paint on it that didn't dry, and I accidentally stained my gloves." He replied in a flat tone.
"Ah, so, I see......"
Nodding his head, the corners of Karasuma's mouth rose slightly.
Not only her, but Conan and Kuroba Kaito also showed the same expression at this moment.
Found you.
