On Umeda Street, trees lined both sides of the road. It had to be said that the environment in Osaka, Japan, was very good.
There was an old house in the innermost part of the street. There was a police car at the gate of the old house. It seemed that the police car's forensics department had already started investigating.
After Hattori and the others got out of the car, they walked straight into the old mansion.
The courtyard was very big, and there was a well in the middle. About thirty meters to the right of the well, there were some exercise equipment for the elderly and a swing for children.
Twenty meters to the left of the well were some colorful flowers and plants.
There were eight houses opposite the well, with the largest one in the middle.
Hattori and his men walked in and looked at the police officers on the ground who were writing something in their notebooks. It was very quiet. The body was still lying there. The body belonged to an old man who was about 50 years old. He was bald and very fat. It seemed that he had lived a good life.
There was a deep strangulation mark on his neck, and it was terrifyingly green.
Hattori forcefully suppressed the nervousness in his heart.
Conan, on the other hand, was very calm. He held his chin and paced back and forth. Then, he carefully looked around the hall. He looked left and right quietly, puzzled. Then, he ran to the side of the corpse and looked at the strangulation marks carefully.
"Little brat, go to the side." Maori Kogoro immediately threw Conan out.
"Conan, don't get in my way." Lan said to Conan.”
"I know, Sister Xiaolan."
Conan ran to the door again and returned to his serious expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Sigh, we still have to look at Conan at the critical moment. I'm also a half-baked author.”Hattori thought to himself as he walked to the front of the hall. There was a Guan Yu on the table.
Hattori was also wondering if this matter had anything to do with Guan Yu.
At this moment, a young police officer from the Inspection Department said,""The deceased was a famous artist, Matsumoto Yunguan, fifty-eight years old. He was the second master of the Matsumoto family. When he was young, he was involved in the underworld. Later, he opened a company and slowly became rich. According to the strangulation marks on his neck, the time of death was less than an hour.”
At this moment, a total of eight people came in from outside. There were men, women, and children.
"F * ck, eight people. According to the plot, the murderer should be chosen from three people every time. With eight people, how am I supposed to find the murderer?”Hattori roared in his heart. How unlucky.
At this moment, Maori Kogoro walked over and asked,""The time of death is less than an hour, which means he died around 9:10 in the morning. Such a big family. What were you doing at nine o'clock? Didn't you find any traces of the murderer?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out and said,"My name is Matsumoto Feiyang. The deceased is my second uncle. My wife and I went to the company at eight o'clock this morning. The people in the company can testify that I have an alibi.”
"My name is Matsumoto Loyal. The deceased was my second brother. I went for a walk in the park at seven in the morning, and I have an alibi.”
"My name is Matsumoto Ryuichi, and the deceased is my second uncle. He just rushed over from Tokyo at eight this morning.”
"Oh?" Maori Kogoro asked. If you rush over at eight o'clock, that means you have an hour to commit the crime.”
"No, no. Second Uncle is so good to me. I have no reason to kill him.”Matsumoto Ryuichi was so frightened that he was about to cry.
Hattori thought to himself, The criminal that you, Maori Kogoro, suspect is definitely not the murderer. Let's look at the next one."
Conan was still thinking about something. He looked left and right.
Hattori looked at the bowknot voice changer on Conan's neck and thought,"When we get to Tokyo, I'll ask Dr. Ali to get me a voice changer.”
At this moment.
"My name is Matsumoto Zenma. The victim was my second brother. Damn it, if I find out who killed my second brother, I won't let him off.”
Matsumoto Masahiro's brows flashed with a vicious aura.
The others introduced themselves one by one. Other than Matsumoto Ryuichi, everyone else had alibis, but they could not determine who the murderer was just by relying on their alibis.
An old woman cried and said,"Two days ago, I realized that there was something wrong with the old man. He kept muttering, The heroes of the world, upon hearing my name, all shrunk their necks and fled.”
"All the heroes in the world shrank their necks and ran when they heard my name.”What was the meaning of this? Was Matsumoto boasting when he was alive?”
Maori Kogoro said,"What this means is: All the heroes in the world, upon hearing my name, all shrunk their necks in fear and fled. It seems that Master Matsumoto had a very high prestige in the Matsumoto family when he was alive. Could it be that one of you was jealous and hated Master Matsumoto's prestige, so you killed him?”
Maori Kogoro's voice suddenly became louder, causing the eight of them to tremble in fear.
"Looks like the murderer is among the eight of you.”
For some reason, Hattori asked,"Have you found the murder weapon?"
As soon as he asked, he regretted it. He should have kept silent.
"Ah Ping, the murder weapon hasn't been found yet. Our people are searching the entire courtyard with all their might.
Hattori nodded and pondered.
Conan immediately ran to Hattori and said,"Heiji-gege, squat down."
Hattori looked at the little brat and knew that nothing good was going to happen. However, he still squatted down.
Conan stretched Hattori's face with both hands, turning it red. Hattori trembled in pain.
"Alright, you're indeed Big Brother Hiratsu.”Conan smiled happily.
"Hattori, I'm sorry." Who knew what Conan was thinking?”
"It's fine. I feel like I'm very familiar with this kid, but for some reason, I can't remember."”He wanted to give Conan some benefits first so that he could remember some things and make up lies to explain.
Conan looked confused. He ran to the victim's wife and asked,""Grandma, where did you go this morning?”
The old woman cried and said sadly,""My old man is resting at home. I'm going out to buy vegetables. When I came back, I saw Ryuichi calling the police. The old man was already…"
The old woman cried more and more miserably.
"Before nine in the morning, there were only you and your old man in the entire courtyard. There were no strangers, right?”Maori Kogoro asked.
"Yes, I am." The old woman nodded.
"Do you have an alibi?" Maori Kogoro pressed on step by step.
