"But, but…it's too hard to conclude that the victim was poisoned.”Maori Kogoro interrupted.
"This time, it's my turn!"
Upon hearing Maori Kogoro's doubts, Conan's face lit up. He quickly raised his head and said in an innocent tone,"Uncle Mao Li, look at the corpse!!”
"Mr. Mao Li, haven't you noticed? As long as one looked at the corpse carefully, they would understand!”Bai Shiwu spoke again and interrupted Conan,"
"Everyone, please look carefully. The lips, fingers, and toes of the corpse have turned purple. There are also bleeding spots on the eyelid…These are evidence of suffocation! In addition, there were no signs of strangulation or drowning on the victim's body, and there was no painful expression on the victim's face, so..."
"So what?"
"Brother Shiroishi, so?"
Everyone asked curiously.
The corners of Bai Shiwu's mouth curled up slightly. A smile of confidence that was hard to ignore and forget appeared on his resolute and handsome face. He said calmly,
"So, there is only one possibility left. The victim was suffocated to death by someone using poison to paralyze his nerves! That was to say, the murderer had used a deadly poison that could kill instantly!”
Suffocated.
Numbing his nerves.
Deadly poison.
Bai Shiwu's three points shocked everyone except Conan, who was gnashing his teeth in hatred.
At this moment, Bai Shi Wu's voice rang out again,""Officer Megure, before the police arrived, I examined the body. The body is still warm, livor mortis and postmortem stiffness have not appeared. From these two points…"
"The corpse is still warm, and there are no signs of livor mortis or postmortem stiffness!？”Police Officer Mu Mu frowned and suddenly raised his head. His eyes widened as he looked at Bai Shiwu in bewilderment."
"Brother Shiroishi, you mean…you mean it's difficult? Could it be…"
"No, that's what I meant! Based on these two points, it was easy to come to this conclusion-the time between the time when we found the deceased and the time when the deceased was killed was less than 30 minutes!”
"In other words, the victim was killed thirty minutes before we entered the study!”
" What?!"
" How, how is this possible?!"
"Detective Shiroishi…are you saying that…the murderer is someone nearby?？”
" No, that's not it…" Bai Shiwu's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. He stared at the nervous family members of the dead diplomat with an unfriendly expression and said evilly,""To be exact, the murderer is among you!”
" What?!"
"W-why would they suspect us?”
"Don't accuse us without thinking.”
"That's right. Brother Shiroishi, why are you so sure that the murderer is among them?”Officer Megamu was also confused.
Bai Shiwu smiled mysteriously and said,"
"Before the police arrived, I had already checked the entire room. All the windows in the room were locked from the inside. The murderer couldn't have entered through the window, so the only entrance was the door of the study. Therefore, there is only one possibility for the murderer.”
"In that case…Mrs. Ikemura, how many sets are there in this study?”Officer Megure turned around and asked.
"There are only two pairs. One is with me, and the other is always with my husband.”Ikemura explained.
"What? Is the other key with Ikemura-san?”Officer Megure exclaimed.
" Yes, of course. He usually puts the key in his pocket…" Ikemura explained.
"I see, let me see…"
Officer Megure squatted beside the deceased and put on his white police gloves. He carefully reached into the deceased's pants pocket and took out a bunch of keys.
"Ah?"
"How, how could this be!"
"The key, the key was in the victim's pocket?”
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and their faces were filled with fear. Only Maori Kogoro realized it late and asked in confusion,"Is, is there something wrong? Officer Megure."
"Hey, hey, hey. Uncle, what time is it? You still don't know what's going on!？”Conan rolled his eyes at Maori Kogoro speechlessly.
"Mr. Mao Li, it's like this." Who asked Maori Kogoro to give birth to a good daughter? Who asked Bai Shiwu to have feelings for Xiaolan? Who asked Bai Shiwu to have thoughts about Fei Yingli?
Since Baishi Takeshi was eyeing his wife and beautiful and innocent daughter who had been separated for several years, it was better to show some respect to Maori Kogoro.
With that thought in mind, Bai Shi Wu patiently explained,"Think about it carefully. Before we entered the study, the door was locked…so the murderer must have locked the door and left after committing the crime! One of the two sets of keys was in the hands of Mrs. Ikemura, who entered the study with us just now. The other set was found in the pocket of the quilt…"
"Therefore, these clues can completely prove that this is a perfect crime with a clean and neat method-a murder in a secret room!”
"Secret."
" Murder case in a secret room!!"
Maori Kogoro exclaimed in shock.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this key ring.”
Bai Shiwu suddenly stared at the keychain that he took out from the victim's pocket." The keychain seems to be separated into two pieces, and there seems to be... this, this is..."
"T-tape! Moreover, there seemed to be a thin gap in the middle of the tape. Why did Ikemura Mie design this?”Bai Shiwu pondered.
Murder in a secret room!
It had been cut into two pieces and there was a keyring with tape inside.
The thin line of tape.
"I got it!" Shiraishi Takeshi glanced at the door of the study room and his spirits were lifted. When his gaze swept past Conan, who was frowning in deep thought, and Ikemura, who was pretending to be sad, a hint of playfulness flashed across his eyes.
"Now, I only need one last thing to know Ikemura's true purpose!”
Bai Shiwu frowned and touched his belly.""Officer Megure, I'm very sorry. My stomach is a little uncomfortable. I want to go to the toilet first.”
"Go, Shiroishi bro. Leave this to the police!”Officer Megure did not suspect anything.
"Brother Shiroishi, you can rest assured and go. With me, Maori Kogoro, around, we will definitely be able to find the murderer!”Maori Kogoro shouted loudly.
Bai Shiwu left the study and did not go to the so-called toilet. Instead, he went straight to the other rooms in the house and started rummaging.
A moment later, Bai Shi Wu found something in these rooms, and the smile on his face grew even wider!
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the door.
Then, the door opened.
Keiki Sachiko suddenly walked in.
"Detective…Detective Shiroishi, you…you…what are you doing?”Keiki Sachiko opened her seductive red lips in surprise and asked.
"It really didn't take much effort to get it. The prey actually delivered itself to the hunter when the hunter had prepared the gun and medicine trap. Then, I won't be polite!”Baishi Takeshi stared at the surprised Katsuki Sachiko at the door.
