"Sweet snapper?"

Xiaolan obviously didn't understand why the sweet snapper was called a tilefish.

So, she turned into a curious baby and wondered: "But why do you say that the dried sea bream is a tilehead fish?" ”

"That's because the heads of the snapper are square."

Conan stepped forward and glanced at the snapper on the table, and then Kopp said, "Some people in some places will call it horsehead fish, or something like that. ”

"Judging from the name, it should be called Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe in the west."

Fujino took over the conversation, "After all, Miss Ikeba's tone just now was Kansai accent, and she also said that such a good sweet sea bream is only in the western Kyoto and Osaka places, and the sweet sea bream is regarded as a good ingredient." ”

"Detective Fujino is right, I did go to school in Osaka before."

Hattori Shizuka was slightly stunned, agreed with Fujino's statement, and then said with some distress: "Although so many years have passed, the Kansai dialect will still subconsciously say it, to be honest, sometimes it does cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

"But ......"

Conan looked at Hattori Shizuka suspiciously.

This explanation is nothing at first glance.

But if you combine it with the previous name of 'iced coffee', it is very problematic.

Something is wrong with this lady!

But just as he was about to speak, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Who are you?!" How can you run into someone else's house without permission? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the sound, turned their heads to look, and saw a woman appear at the door with an angry look: "I'm going to call the police!" ”

"Wait!"

"We're just ......"

Uncle Maori and Xiaolan were a little panicked.

That's when the two of them realized that something was wrong.

It seems very inappropriate to follow a neighbor to trespass into someone else's home?

Fujino's mentality on the side was quite peaceful, and he just looked at the woman in front of him silently.

The woman wears a sports long-sleeved top, khaki shorts, short black hair, and round-framed glasses, and judging by her appearance, she should be around forty years old.

The golf club bag on her back confirmed that she had just returned from golf.

Judging from the performance, she should be Shibata Shiro's wife.

If Fujino is not mistaken, this lady is actually the murderer.

The reason for the killing is probably because of gambling.

Shibata Shiro is actually a gambling dog, and Yoshikawa before him was the one who formed the game.

These people gamble large amounts by playing mahjong.

Shibata Shiro, who was involved, gradually became obsessed with this thing.

As we all know, gambling on dogs usually doesn't end well, and Shibata Shiro is the same.

After losing all the family's savings and starting to sell her property, Mrs. Shibata finally couldn't stand the other party and blew coins for the other party.

It can only be said that gambling dogs must not die well, and this wave of gold coins is good.

It's just that as a murderer, this lady doesn't seem to be acting online.

are all ladies, and this Mrs. Shibata's acting skills are obviously much worse than Mrs. "Chibo".

With no one at home, a bunch of strangers appeared, and it stands to reason that her behavior at this time should be normal.

But that's only when there's no one at home.

If your husband is at home, there is a beautiful woman in a kimono, two men in suits, and a girl and a child......

Normally, you don't think badly, right?

Mrs. Shibata, however, directly identified the group as a stranger who had broken through the empty door, and it was clear that she had known that her husband was not at home or that he was dead.

It's like this, as soon as he comes on the scene, he directly exposes his identity as a murderer......

Even if Fujino doesn't know, he can identify it as an immature murderer at a glance.

"Shibata, how are you?! Cheer up! ”

Just as the Maori father and daughter were about to explain, an anxious shout suddenly came from the study behind them.

"Nani?!"

Conan was stunned when he heard this, inexplicably, he always felt that this tone was a little familiar, and when he came to his senses, he immediately turned around and rushed to the room behind him first.

Uncle Maori was a little inferior, and he didn't follow until Conan rushed to the scene.

Fujino, on the other hand, followed Xiaolan and Hattori Jinghua before slowly walking to the study behind him.

Pushing open the half-hidden door, I saw an empty study, and at the door of the study, a man in black pants and a green sweater was lying on the floor, with a large amount of blood stains on his head.

"Shibata, cheer up!"

Neighbor Yoshikawa squatted next to Shibata Shiro's body, shaking his body in some panic.

"Mr. Shibata, he ......"

Xiaolan saw the scene in the room and took two steps back, showing a hint of horror on her face.

Fujino took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, turned to Xiaolan and explained to Hattori Jinghua: "I'll go see the situation." ”

"Photos?"

Conan, who had already entered the scene of the crime, looked at Shibata's body and was slightly stunned.

At a glance, he noticed that the dead Shibata was still holding a photo in his hand.

He had just pulled out his handkerchief and was about to step forward to take the picture out of the other's hand to look at it, but before he could succeed, a feeling of suspension came from his body.

"Little brother Conan, don't just destroy the scene of the crime."

Fujino lifted Conan, explained casually, and put it aside.

“？？？”

Conan looked at Fujino and felt confused.

Obviously, he was a little puzzled by Fujino's operation.

It's not sure if the person is dead or not, how can this guy be sure that this is the scene of the crime?

Although in terms of the situation, it is indeed dead...... But he still felt that Fujino's wave was a little too decisive.

…………

Fujino didn't pay any attention to the bewildered Conan, and instead reached out and touched Shibata's neck.

The system tasks have jumped out, and people have to swallow even if they don't die, this is an iron law.

But even though it has been determined that the person is dead, what should be done is still to be done.

"Brother Fujino, how's it going?"

Maori Kogo squatted down and asked Fujino, "Mr. Shibata, ...... him?"

Fujino shook his head, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, and handed them to Mori Kogoro: "Mr. Shibata has no pulse anymore, and judging from the stiffness of the corpse, he should have been dead for a while." ”

Uncle Maori's face was slightly gloomy, he sighed, then took the gloves and put them on skillfully, turned around and shouted behind him: "Xiaolan, go and call the police!" ”

"I'll just come."

Fujino stood up and interrupted Uncle Mori.

…………

About ten minutes later, a Coral Head officer arrived at the scene with someone.

Officer Coral Head is none other than Mori Kogoro's fan brother Yokozo Sango.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Officer Yokogou, the people in the forensic section soon began to investigate in the study.

"Honey!"

Mrs. Shibata burst into tears as she desperately shouted Shibata Shiro in the study.

"Mr. Mori, and Fujino-kun, why are you here?"

Yokozo Sango glanced at Mrs. Shibata who was sobbing, turned around, and asked Fujino and Mori Kogoro behind him.

"We came to Mr. Shibata for something."

Mori Kogoro glanced at Shibata's body in the study: "It's just that after coming here, that Mr. Yoshikawa opened the door and found that Mr. Shibata was dead." ”

As he spoke, he also asked Fujino, "I'm right, Brother Fujino." ”

Fujino nodded: "Well, that's right. ”

"I see."

Hearing this, Yokogou Shenwu thought for a moment, then turned to the forensic doctor in the white coat in the room and asked, "Can the time of death be determined?" ”

"It's decided."

The medical examiner replied back: "The preliminary inference is that the time of death of the deceased was from early morning to early morning today, and the cause of death was due to a blunt blow to the head......"

"This morning?"

Yokozo Sango thought about it for a while, and immediately ruled out the suspicion of Fujino and his party, and instead locked the suspicion on Kyoko Shibata.

According to Kyoko Shibata, she went out before five o'clock this morning, and the reason for going out was to go golf with friends.

As for Shibata Shiro, he returned home at three o'clock in the morning, after playing mahjong with friends, and fell asleep before Kyoko Shibata left.

However, judging from the newspaper left on the dining table and breakfast, Yokozo Shingo believes that Shibata must have been killed after waking up and eating.

According to the video on the video recorder, Shibata's murder time was pushed to 8 to 8:45 in the morning.

Conan was constantly wandering around the scene, looking at Fujino with some resentment.

Fujino, this guy, actually didn't let him move to the scene of the crime!

How do you find clues at the scene of the crime......

He was curious about what the picture in the hands of the deceased had just begun.

In short, he had a hunch, and that must be a very important clue.

And that Chi Bo Jinghua must also be inseparable from this case.

But after being brought out, he never had a chance to see it again, so he could only wander around the scene, always avoiding Uncle Maori's iron fist.

But fortunately, he is still so good at being smart, and he immediately found a useful clue, and in a child's tone, he pointed to the shelf with the videotape next to the TV and said strangely: "Ahhh ”

Shizuka Hattori was successfully attracted to Conan's attention.

She glanced at Conan curiously, her eyes slightly upturned like a fox.

In fact, she also noticed that this child is not simple......

Whether it was an idea before or an iced coffee when ordering coffee, vaguely, it showed a different wisdom from that age.

But she didn't think much of it, she just thought that it must have been affected by staying by the side of the two detectives for a long time.

In contrast, Fujino is estimated to have seen through her now, and even deduced that she is a big board person.

"That's right......"

Yokozo stepped forward, glanced at the vacant position next to the TV, and nodded.

"Maybe it's going to be repaired, right?"

Mori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, turned to Mrs. Shibata and asked, "Is that what I said, Mrs. Shibata?" ”

"No, it's actually my husband'......"

Shibata Kyoko looked a little hesitant, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yoshikawa on the side: "Okay, this little thing shouldn't be important, right?" It's better to take care of this matter sooner rather than later, and let me go home! ”

"Mr. Yoshikawa, you look nervous."

Fujino, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, saw that the time was ripe, so he slowly stepped forward and asked Kyoko Shibata, "Mrs. Shibata, what did you want to say just now?" ”

"This ......"

Kyoko Shibata sighed: "Actually, the projector and stereo were sold by my husband. ”

"Sold?"

Henggou was stunned for a moment: "I take the liberty of asking, is your family's economic situation not optimistic?" ”

"Isn't this ......?"

Kyoko Shibata hesitated.

But before she could say anything, Yoshikawa on the side couldn't sit still: "Wait, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all......"

"Mr. Yoshikawa, please don't interrupt Mrs. Shibata again and again."

Henggou Shenwu was a little unhappy at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Or, is there any ulterior secret behind this?" ”

"This ......"

Yoshikawa suddenly panicked when he heard this, and cold sweat continued to leave on his forehead.

"It must have something to do with mahjong."

Fujino pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Shibata should have been gambling in mahjong all along, so the stereo and projector in the room that were sold can be explained." ”

"Is that so?"

Yokozo Sango frowned, "Mrs. Shibata, is it really the same as what Fujino-kun said?" ”

"That's right......"

Kyoko Shibata sighed, "My husband is indeed involved in the gamble of the Yoshikawa guy...... Thanks to him, the family's computer, car, jewelry, and even the amplifier were sold. ”

There was silence for a while.

Yokozo Sango was the first to come to his senses, and looked at Yoshikawa with slightly narrowed eyes: "Mr. Yoshikawa, can you explain what Mrs. Shibata said?" ”

"This ......"

Yoshikawa was so stumbling that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"I remember you were the first to open the door, right?"

Yokozo Sango's face gradually sank, as if he had determined that this guy was the murderer: "You didn't have an alibi at that time, if Mr. Shibata was usually involved in gambling, you would probably kill Mr. Shibata because of gambling." ”

"Wait a minute! Although we do have gambling money, we don't kill anyone! ”

Yoshikawa suddenly panicked when he heard this.

Gambling is a small crime, but murder is even more serious.

Turning his head, he looked at Fujino and his party, and then said in a loud voice: "Those people must be suspicious too, right?" It may seem like you know each other, but ......"

"Huh? These are the least likely to kill! How can the sleeping Maori Kogoro and the dark detective Fujino be a murderer, this matter is even lower than the probability of winning the lottery. ”

Yokogou Shenwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled in disbelief.

In his opinion, the detective kills, although it is not without probability.

But in comparison, the probability of winning the lottery may be higher.

"You mean that sleeping Maori Kogoro?!"

"And high school detective Fujino?!"

Yoshikawa and Kyoko couldn't help but be stunned.

"yes."

Yokozo Sango nodded, and then proudly introduced: "With the two of them is Mr. Maori's daughter Xiaolan, Conan, who lives at Mr. Maori's house...... As for the beautiful lady......"

Yokozo looked at the strange woman and thought for a moment, then turned his head and continued, "It should be Mrs. Maori, right?" ”

Fujino: "......"

Xiaolan: "......"

Conan: "......"

Shizuka Hattori: "......"

There was silence for a while.
