"Ah!"
Kaho Nakagawa, who was leaving, suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Everyone in the living room immediately heard it. Conan didn't waste any time and immediately ran over. The rest of the people quickly followed suit, including Fantasy Night.
When he arrived at the room where the Great Mountain General was, he saw Kaho Nakahara sitting at the door with a terrified expression. Inside, her body was tied up and her mouth gagged. Big Mountain General Ba was kneeling on one side. His body was covered in blood, and there was a knife stuck in his back. His eyes were wide open as if he had died with his eyes wide open. There was also a trail of blood on the ground. It was obvious that he had climbed from the sofa to the wall.
Hoda Ginji and Kanazawa Tomoyasu quickly ran over to check. Fantasy Night also walked in. He was not interested in dead people, but he scanned the surroundings. Finally, his gaze landed on the table in the middle of the room. There was a little blood on it, but the tablecloth had fallen to the side. After careful observation, he found a lighter on the sofa. It looked nothing on the surface, but if he turned it over, he would find that it was stained with blood. Moreover, the blood on it had already coagulated.
He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before glancing at Kaho Nakahara, who was standing beside him. He knew that she was the one who had done this. He guessed that there was some evidence left behind by her, or perhaps it was a death message left behind by the Great Mountain General that could point out that she was the murderer. This was really a contest of intelligence.
He didn't think too much about it. He just moved his finger quietly, and the blood on the lighter immediately melted and seeped into the sofa cushion without attracting anyone's attention.
After doing this, Fantasy Night smiled slightly. He stood at the side and looked coldly at everyone present, especially Conan. He wanted to see if he could still solve this case. Although the alibi was not perfect, it was still unquestionable. The information left behind to hint at the murderer now had a loophole that was difficult to answer. There was probably no hope of solving it.
Xiaolan reacted quickly and immediately ran to call the police for an ambulance. The two doctors 'examination results came out very quickly. Needless to say, she was already dead. The two doctors discussed untying the rope first, but at this time, Maori Kogoro ran over.
"Don't touch anything!" Maori Kogoro, who had his hands on his hips and his face flushed red, still looked drunk. He looked a little helpless." This is so nerve-racking. How can you destroy a murder scene?”
At this moment, Xiao Lan ran over." Dad, it's snowing so heavily outside. The police and ambulance can't possibly come up the mountain.”
" Is that so..." Maori Kogoro nodded and then said," Now, it's my turn again!”
Hearing him say this, Conan, who was next to him, held his forehead helplessly. However, he could only complain in his heart. The others would not complain about Maori Kogoro, so he found a camera and asked the others to move aside. Maori Kogoro began to take photos.
Fantasy Night, who was sitting on the sofa far away from the corpse, looked thoughtfully at Maori Kogoro who was busy there. This uncle was clearly sleeping so soundly before, but he ran over less than a minute after discovering the corpse. Did he just wake up by coincidence, or was he always awake? He was clearly drunk, but he still seemed to be doing his work in an orderly manner without the slightest mistake. Could it be that he was too lucky? Or had he never been drunk before?
No matter what, one could never underestimate anyone. Even if the other party was just lucky, luck was sometimes a part of one's strength.
After taking the photos, Maori Kogoro began to investigate and deduce. He first asked Kaho Nakahara and the others some questions, then asked about the location of the safe. It was in a cabinet at the side. When he opened the cabinet door, he found that the safe was covered in signs of being hacked. Therefore, Maori Kogoro suspected that the murderer had come for money. This was a reasonable suspicion.
Conan was also checking the area. The first thing that caught his attention was the blood on the ground. It was obvious that the Mountain General had tried to crawl after being injured. Therefore, he could conclude that the Mountain General had not been killed directly. After being stabbed, he was still alive. Moreover, he had tried his best to crawl to the wall and was still kneeling. What did this mean?
He looked at the table next to him. The blood on the table had already solidified. It was obvious that it had been a while. However, the blood on the table seemed to have formed a neat straight line. The tablecloth fell to the ground next to him.
Conan walked over to take a look and found traces of blood-stained rope on the tablecloth. Seeing this, Conan had already guessed that this was probably a clue that the Mountain General had deliberately left behind. But what exactly did this clue refer to?
Fantasy Night was still sitting on the sofa. Takei Naoko was giving him a massage, while Quantum went to make juice. The three of them did not care about this case at all. Fantasy Night and Takei Naoko knew what was going on, and they were accomplices.
At this time, Maori Kogoro made another discovery. He walked to the window. The window was not open, and the glass above was broken. There was also some tape wrapped around it.
" The murderer put tape on the glass to eliminate the noise, and then broke the window to enter the house..." Maori Kogoro opened the window again. The footprints on the snow were still clearly visible. Maori Kogoro could not help but touch his chin." There are indeed footprints of the murderer here. Now I know..."
" Yes, yes..." Conan, who had appeared at some point in time, responded with a " yes ". Maori Kogoro unceremoniously punched him in the head and drove him to the side. He then closed the window and looked at Kaho Nakahara and the others." I'll have to trouble you doctors to help me with the autopsy. I'm not good at this."”
Kaho Nakagawa and the others did not have any objections to this, so they began the autopsy. Fantasy Night continued to watch from the side, but he would occasionally do some small things to keep the blood on the lighter from solidifying. This kind of unscientific existence, I wonder how Conan would deduce it? Haha…
" According to the autopsy, the time of death should be between 9:30 p. m. and 10:00 p. m."”
" I see." Maori Kogoro was writing in his notebook." It was when Mr. Dashan was watching the drama in his room."”
"There are still many wounds on his body, but the most direct cause of death should be suffocation caused by these two stab wounds that penetrated his lungs.”
"Suffocated after being stabbed?"
" Because of the punctured lung, even if the victim wanted to breathe, his lungs couldn't expand, so he couldn't breathe in air at all," Hida Ginji explained to Maori Kogoro." I think Professor Yama must have been in great pain within 10 to 15 minutes of being stabbed.”
"You're too much!" Angor was furious." Who would do such a thing?"!”
"According to my speculation, the motive for the murder should be money!”Maori Kogoro shared his theory." After the murderer came in through the window, he tied up Professor Dashan, who was watching TV at the time, and then forced him to give him the password to the safe. However, he didn't tell him. At this time, the murderer was angry and stabbed Professor Dashan with a knife. Then, he escaped through the window.”
What he said seemed to make sense, but Conan secretly despised him. He walked straight to the corpse and raised the corpse's right hand. He said in a surprised tone," Wow, look, this uncle's hand is made of gold!”
"Conan!" Lan quickly grabbed Conan, but Conan was still talking." Hey, isn't this uncle tied up? The robber who ran in didn't steal his gold watch. He was so lucky!”
The speaker had no intention... To be precise, the speaker had the intention, and the listener had the intention. Conan's words immediately made Maori Kogoro react and could not help but frown." This is strange. Since the murderer's goal is money, how could he leave the gold watch behind? Could it be that the murderer..." Maori Kogoro touched his chin and immediately laughed." Well, this murderer is really careless!" Hahaha…"
“……”
Everyone was speechless. Fantasy Night narrowed her eyes and looked at Maori Kogoro, then at Kaho Nakahara. She then shook her head slightly. Her plan was not thorough enough. She had left behind such an obvious flaw. Moreover, she should have waited until the Mountain General was about to die before leaving. That way, the Mountain General would not be able to leave behind any information about his death.
However, it didn't matter. Without key evidence, Conan could only suspect.
At this time, Conan did not realize anything. He continued to guide Maori Kogoro's thoughts." This murderer is quite bold. Look..." He ran to the window and opened it. He pointed at the disappearing footprints and said," This murderer walked into this room without thinking."”
"Hmph, so what?" Maori Kogoro still looked as if he hadn't thought of anything, but Conan still pretended to be innocent. He closed the window and said," If it were me, I would definitely be afraid that there was someone in the room, so I would peek outside the window and wait until I was sure of the situation in the room before entering!”
“！”
Hearing Conan's words, everyone seemed to have finally reacted. Maori Kogoro seemed to have completely woken up. He frowned slightly and looked serious." In that case, the reason why there are so many scratches on the safe and why Professor Dashan was tied up was just a facade that the murderer deliberately wanted to show to outsiders. In fact, the murderer knew that Professor Dashan would be watching TV alone here at that time." This means…" Maori Kogoro turned around and looked at Kaho and the others." The murderer is one of the four of you!"”
"Nani?" Kaho Nakagawa frowned, but she remained calm and didn't show anything special. Fantasy Night couldn't help but nod in agreement. This woman wasn't as simple as she seemed.
The others did not seem to believe Maori Kogoro's words." That can't be, right?”
Of course, it wasn't up to them to decide whether or not it was true. Maori Kogoro began to ask them questions one by one. First, of course, they needed an alibi. At that time, Hida Ginji went out to ski. It took about 40 minutes to go to the ski resort. With the night ski ticket as evidence, the date on the ticket was today. This couldn't be fake. There were also people at the ski resort. They would know once they asked.
Kubo, Xiaolan, and Conan had been washing the dishes and cleaning up the garbage in the kitchen. They had only left for two to three minutes when they went out to take out the garbage. It was obviously impossible for them to commit the murder in such a short time, so the suspicion was eliminated.
Tomoyasu Kanazawa had been taking a bath in the bathhouse from nine to ten o'clock. Of course, no one could see what was going on in the bathhouse, so no one could prove it. This meant that Tomoyasu Kanazawa was the suspect, and Kaho Nakahara was the suspect...
