133 Wow, it's rum again!
Takasugi Yuto is dead.
Led by Wataru Takagi, Conan and Mori Kogoro arrived in the seminar room of the Faculty of Law's academic building.
Because the police have only just arrived, the scene here has not yet been investigated and recorded, so everything in the room is still the same as when the police arrived.
Entering the seminar room, there was a closed window on the wall facing the door, and the curtains were drawn, making the room a little dim.
In the center of the room, there was a small knee-high glass coffee table, on which was a small bottle with a spout, and Conan glanced at the logo on the bottle, which was the kind of oxygen cylinder that would be sold in the shops outside.
This type of oxygen cylinder is very common and can also be seen in general sports competitions, the bottle is filled with compressed oxygen, which can be sprayed at the touch of a button on the bottle.
And behind the coffee table, there is a low-legged sofa that is not too long.
On the sofa, there was a yellow-haired young man lying on the sofa, the young man was lying flat on the sofa, his face was very peaceful, and he didn't wear shoes on his feet, and the whole person looked as if he was just leaning on the sofa and falling asleep, without any abnormalities at all.
This person is Takasugi Yuto, the victim who suffocated to death in an unusually strange posture according to Officer Takagi.
"It doesn't really look like it's suffocating......"
Mori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, bent down to carefully observe Takasugi Yuto, who looked like he was sleeping, and muttered.
"It's the first time I've seen someone suffocated so peacefully...... Takagi-kun, how many people are usually in this seminar room? β
"In addition to the deceased, there are three other people, namely the deceased's mentor and two classmates from the same department." Wataru Takagi replied.
"Who was the first discoverer?"
"It's a classmate of the deceased, whose name is Rin Suzumura, and it's said to be the deceased's girlfriend...... Oh, and there's Takashi Himuro, who, like Rin Suzumura, was the first to discover. β
"Takashi Himuro?" Kogoro Mori turned his head to look at him.
"Well, Mr. Himuro is a cleaner at Teitan University, and when Rin Suzumura found out that the deceased had been killed, he happened to be cleaning the air conditioner in the corridor, and it was also the ambulance and the police that he called at that time." Wataru Takagi explained.
Takasugi Yuto was killed during his lunch break, and most of the university animals ate in the cafeteria, and the other three in the seminar room were no exception.
Among them, Rin Suzumura seems to be bringing lunch to Takasugi Yuto, so she leaves the cafeteria early and returns to the school building.
She was also the first to find out that Takasugi Yuto had been killed, and her screams attracted Takashi Himoguro, a cleaner who was cleaning the air conditioner in a nearby corridor at the time, and Takashi Himuro arrived and immediately called the police and an ambulance.
That's probably what happened at the time of the crime.
"And where are these people now?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"I've all gathered them in the associate professor's room next door, and they're all there now."
While Mori Kogoro and Wataru Takagi were talking, Conan quickly surveyed the entire seminar room.
The windows and curtains were closed, and it was impossible to see inside the room from the outside.
In the center of the room is a sofa where Takasugi is lying and a low coffee table.
On the other side against the wall, there are three sets of tables and chairs, which seem to belong to the three university animals in this seminar room.
Of the three sets of tables and chairs, two of them are clean and tidy, but the other one is very messy, and there is a lot of garbage sealed in plastic bags under the table.
Thanks to the garbage, there was a strange smell in the room.
"Let's go, let's go to the associate professor's office first and find out the specific situation......
Didn't see anything from the scene, Mori Kogoro said to Wataru Takagi.
"Okay."
With Mori Kogoro with him, Wataru Takagi opened another door in the seminar room and walked directly to the associate professor's room next door.
"Are the two rooms connected?"
Slightly surprised, the two of them followed Wataru Takagi to the associate professor's room next door.
There were three people sitting in the room, two men and one woman.
Among them, the woman who wears glasses and has a necklace around her neck, and looks gentle and gentle is the first discoverer, Rin Suzumura, the girlfriend of the deceased Takasugi Yuto.
And the middle-aged man next to her who had stubble and looked to be in his thirties was called Kunimatsu Shugo, a prospective professor, the director of this seminar room, and also the mentor of these people.
And the last one, the young man with the same yellow hair as Takasugi Yuto, dressed like a hanger, and looking like a street runner, is Meguro, who is also a university animal in this seminar room.
"Officer Takagi, what about Mr. Himuro?" Conan asked.
The people in the seminar room are all here now, but according to what Wataru Takagi just said, there should be a cleaner named Takashi Himuro who was also involved in this incident.
"Oh, Mr. Himuro has been asking the school to interrupt his business lately, and he just went to the principal's office again, and he will be back in a minute......" Wataru Takagi explained.
After briefly understanding the identities of several people in the room, under the arrangement of Wataru Takagi, Mori Kogoro began a one-on-one inquiry with these people.
"Hello, Meguroto-san."
After having Rin Suzumura and Kunimatsu go to the seminar room next door temporarily, accompanied by Wataru Takagi, Mori Kogoro smiled kindly at the yellow-haired Meguroto.
"Hello, you! Please advise! β
Meguro seemed to be very nervous, he looked at Mori Kogoro and Wataru Takagi beside him with some uneasiness, and weakly tentatively said:
"So, police, officer, are you suspicious of me?"
"Don't worry, it's not this yet, it's just that the current intelligence is insufficient, so we want to ask you some questions individually."
It was Kogoro Mori who answered him.
"Okay, Meguroto-san, may I ask what is the relationship between Ling and the deceased Takasugi Yuto?"
"Uh, that's,It's just ordinary.,It's just a good friend.,I used to go out drinking and playing games together......"
"Before?"
"Yes, yes, because since Yuto took a leave of absence to work part-time at the Narisawa Detective Agency, we didn't get along well......"
"Do you mean you're going to quarrel with these?"
"Nope!"
Meguro immediately denied it, and said with some excitement: "We didn't quarrel!" It's just that when I go out with him, he often refuses!
And he will not pay back the money lent to him......"
"Borrow money?"
Hearing this, Mori Kogoro hurriedly asked, "You mean, did the deceased borrow money from you before?" β
"Yes, I borrowed it several times this semester, and I didn't pay ......it back every time."
"That's not right......"
Hearing his words, Maori Kogoro suddenly frowned.
"The deceased must have been financially wealthy, right? He also told me yesterday that someone in the school had stolen 100,000 yuan from him, and entrusted me to come and help him catch the thief......"
"Mr. Maori, is there such a thing?" Wataru Takagi asked in surprise.
"Well, let's be honest, I came to Didan University today to deal with this commission."
"Impossible!"
Listening to Maori Kogoro's words, Meguro hurriedly shouted:
"Yuto, don't I know that guy? He's always been lavish in his spending! Not to mention 100,000 yuan, he can't save 50,000 yuan! When pigs fly!
And he borrowed money from me once when he just returned to school two days ago, where did he get the 100,000 yuan for others to steal? β
[If Meguroto didn't lie, then Takasugi Yuto lied and tried to trick his uncle into school? γ
Listening to Meguroto's words, Conan pondered in his heart.
"Ahem! We'll talk about things that aren't relevant to the case later. β
Coughing twice, Mori Kogoro continued to ask, "Megurodo-san, where were you and what were you doing before and after the deceased was killed?" β
"Well, nothing special...... It's just like usual.,I went to the cafeteria with Rin and the teacher to eat.,And then Rin finished eating first.,She went to the convenience store to buy a boxed lunch for Yuto to take back.,When I and the teacher came back from the cafeteria.,I found that Rin was hugging Yuto and crying in the seminar room......"
"Did Sister Suzumura come back alone?" Conan keenly noticed the clue in his words.
"Huh? Ah, yes, Rin has been helping Yuto bring food for the past two days, so every time she comes back alone. β
"Then why doesn't Brother Takasugi go to the cafeteria with you? Is it because you don't want to be with him? Conan asked again.
"Not really! It's Youdou who he doesn't want to do! Obviously, we went there once the day before yesterday, and since then we have been staying in the seminar room and not going out, so it's not that we excluded him! β
[Isn't Lai going out in the seminar room? γ
When Conan heard this, there was an eerie glow reflected on the lenses of his glasses.
After Megurodo, the next one to come in was Rin Suzumura.
"Hello, Suzumura-san." Kogoro Mori still has that kind smile.
Rin Suzumura has soft facial features and a very gentle temperament, giving people the feeling of a standard Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman.
The only thing that makes people feel a little out of harmony is the necklace around her neck, which is a bit avant-garde and trendy, which slightly breaks the soft temperament on her body.
"Hello, Officer Takagi, and Mr. Mori."
Rin Suzumura sat down on the chair opposite her and nodded hello to the two of them as well.
The expression on her face looked very calm, and she didn't have much sadness after "her boyfriend was killed".
"Suzumura-san, what is your relationship with the deceased?" As a rule, Kogoro Mori asked this question first.
"It's a classmate, and it's also a ......," Rin Suzumura replied directly.
"Well, is that a romantic relationship?"
"Yes, but lately...... It's a little distant. β
"What do you mean?"
"We are in the law department here, and originally Youdou and I both wanted to take the lawyer exam, but because of the policy adjustment in the past two years, it is much more difficult to take the lawyer exam than before, so Youdou is a little self-defeating and wants to be a detective......"
"Understood."
Nodding, Mori Kogoro continued to ask, "And where were you this morning?" What are you doing? β
"I came to the seminar room this morning, and Yuto slept on the sofa as usual.
I remember that when it was almost time for lunch break, Yudou woke up once, but he probably hadn't slept enough, so he inhaled some oxygen as usual, and continued to sleep......"
"Oxygen after waking up?"
"Well, Youdou has a problem, that is, he always has a headache when he first wakes up, it seems that someone in the place where he works teaches him that oxygen can relieve headaches, so he developed the habit of inhaling oxygen after waking up.
However, he seemed to be very sleepy today, so he just took a breath, then dropped the oxygen cylinder and continued to sleep, and we saw that he fell asleep again, so we didn't call him, and went to the cafeteria first......"
[Alas? γ
Suddenly, Conan suddenly noticed a detail and hurriedly asked:
"Sister Suzumura, do you mean that Brother Takasugi's oxygen cylinder was thrown on the ground?"
"Well, I remember it like this." Rin Suzumura nodded.
[Not true!] I remember when we first started in the seminar room, the oxygen cylinder was obviously on the coffee table! γ
At the same time, Wataru Takagi on the side also noticed the abnormality.
"No, when the police first arrived at the scene, the oxygen cylinder was obviously placed on the coffee table......"
"Huh?"
When Rin Suzumura heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lowered her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Strange, I remember...... It seems like I came back from lunch and the oxygen tank ...... It seems to have been put on the coffee table.,Obviously, we all fell to the ground before we left.,Could it be that Youdou woke up again during this period? β
[Nope.] γ
When Conan heard this, his face gradually became solemn.
Rather than Takasugi Yuto waking up again during this time, he was more inclined to think that someone had entered the seminar room during this period and used the oxygen cylinder to do something to Takasugi.
And these hands and feet are likely to be the reason for Takasugi Yuto's weird suffocation!
Opposite Conan, "Rin Suzumura" looked at Conan, who was deep in thought and had a solemn face, and a trace of doubt and surprise suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes.
[It's this kid again...... Who are you with this contemplative look? γ
ββ¦β¦β
"By the way, what about Kawaiko? Where did you get her? β
On the other side of the car, in order to defuse the strange atmosphere in the car at this time, Belmode changed the topic.
"I don't know, where would she be?"
Shirakawa Kiyoshi also seemed to return to normal, yawned, and leaned back into the seat behind him.
"Don't know? Huh......" Belmode glanced at him, "you probably don't want to tell me, do you?" β
"Indeed."
Bai Heqing nodded honestly.
"After all, it's a more important matter, I'm afraid you will leak it."
This sentence directly silenced Belmode.
"Of course, if you really want to know, you can't tell you."
The conversation changed again, Bai Heqing looked at her, and said with a smile:
"Anyway, even if it is really leaked, it will be difficult for those people to find her."
"What do you mean?"
"Meaning, she's not in Japan now, and I've transferred her abroad."
"Rum's side?"
"Halfway by, to be exact, to Hennessy......"
As he spoke, Bai Heqing took out his mobile phone from his bag.
It looks like someone has messaged him just now.
Who could it be?
Ah, it's Rum.
Hennessy, the cadres of the organization abroad, thank you for the vest provided by the group friendsβ ("β )_
Ah, this chapter is two-in-one, and the third is even in it.
