"This is a suicide case!"
Coroner Kimura gave his deduction, his eyes firm.
However, he hesitated when he looked at Gao Chengyuan.
He was confident in Kudo Shinichi and Officer Megami, but he lacked confidence in Gao Chengyuan.
It was not because of anything else, but because Gao Chengyuan's deduction last time was too stunning and shocking.
"Why do you say that?" Officer Megure asked.
"Uh, first of all, I observed the autopsy just now.”
Coroner Kimura discarded the messy thoughts in his mind."
"From the analysis of the corpse's rigor mortis and coldness, the time of death of the deceased Aoki Osamu should be around 2:30 in the afternoon.”
"At this time, I just asked the students in his neighboring dormitory. The deceased, Aoki Osamu, was the only one in the room!”
"Also, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol in the mouth of the corpse. It is obvious that the deceased, Osamu Aoki, drank alcohol before he died, and his mind was in a state of confusion.
In this state, if anything happened in the outside world that provoked him, it was very likely that the victim would hang himself!”
"You said the victim died at 2:30 in the afternoon?”
"Is the time reliable?" asked Officer Megure.”
"There shouldn't be a problem. It'll be half an hour at most. If you're worried, you can ask Gao Chengjun to perform an autopsy to verify my thoughts.”
"No need, I'm not interested!" Gao Chengyuan said lightly.
Officer Megure felt helpless and said,"
"You said that the deceased had been drinking before he died, and at that time, he was the only one in the room?”
"And it's possible that he might have encountered external stimulants that led to his suicide?”
"Yes!" Coroner Kimura said.
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi, who had been silently observing the scene, said,"
"There is a surveillance camera outside the student dormitory.”
Officer Megure knew what Kudo Shinichi was thinking.
He suspected that this case was not a suicide but a murder.
The police officer quickly pulled up the surveillance video on campus. Kudo Shinichi frowned when he saw the video.
Because the video showed that Aoki Osamu entered the postgraduate dormitory at 12:20 pm drunk and never came out.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that the deceased Aoki Osamu's classmate, Yamashita Rato, and his girlfriend, Noda Kanna, knocked on the door crazily.
However, there was no response.
In the video, the anxious person at the foot of the mountain suggested that they go to the school to get the key. Only then did the two of them enter.
Later, the two of them witnessed Aoki Osamu hanging himself in the room and chose to call the police!
All in all!
From the moment Aoki Shuu entered, no one else entered.
There was a high possibility that the case was a suicide!
If it was a homicide case, then it was a murder in a secret room!
And in a secret room like the dormitory, the difficulty was very high, and there was a high risk of being exposed.
Could it be that his intuition was wrong?
Kudo Shinichi walked to the edge of the corpse and lifted the white cloth. He could indeed smell the strong smell of alcohol on the body of the deceased Aoki Osamu.
He was sure that during the afternoon.
Aoki Osamu had been an alcoholic!
Why did he drink so much?
Aoki Osamu came from a well-off family. As a top student, he had a girlfriend, classmates, and a wide network of friends.
Logically speaking, such an outstanding person would not drink heavily if he was not stimulated!
"Who was Aoki Shuu with during the afternoon?”Kudo Shinichi suddenly asked,
"It's me!"
The person standing in the corner at the foot of the mountain said,"Aoki Shu-kun was with me at noon!”
"Why are you drinking?" Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Because…"
The person at the foot of the mountain sighed." Aoki-kun and I were classmates and good friends. We were taught by the same teacher.
This morning in the library, we had a heated argument about Mersenne prime numbers.
Surprisingly, the result of this thesis was decided at noon.
My thesis was successfully published in the top domestic journals, but Aoki-kun's thesis was not.”
"Aoki-kun was very disappointed and insisted on dragging me to the tavern for a drink.
He kept congratulating me on the surface and we got along as usual. However, I knew that he had put in a lot of effort for the thesis, but in the end, he was defeated by me.”
"After we finished drinking, we went back to our own dormitories!”
"Later, Miss Kanako called me and said that I couldn't reach Aoki-kun.
I then realized that there might be a problem. I went upstairs to Aoki-kun's dormitory to meet up with Miss Kanako. I found that the door was closed and no one answered from inside.
Kanako and I sensed that the problem might go out of control, so we went to the school security office to get the key. When we opened the door, we found that Aoki-kun had hanged himself.
After recovering from the shock and collapse, we chose to call the police, and then you came back.”
Kudo Shinichi did not hide his suspicion of the Yamashita person. He asked the coroner, Kimura,"
"Did you detect any drug reactions in the alcohol in the body?”
The coroner shook his head." Aoki Osamu's body did not show any signs of poisoning. The possibility of consuming drugs that caused mental confusion is also very small."”
Kudo Shinichi did not let the people down the mountain off the hook. He continued to ask,""When the victim died, which is from 12:30 to 3: Where were you and what were you doing between 00:00 and 01:00?”
"Detective, are you asking for an alibi?”
The people at the foot of the mountain frowned. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being treated as a murderer.
"If you think it is, then it is!" Kudo Shinichi said.”
The person at the foot of the mountain took a deep breath and said," When I returned to my room, I laid down for a while. Then, my roommate, Kitahara-kun, called me to play games. Did I play all afternoon?"”
"Playing games? You guys play games too?”
"Why not? Brain games!”
At this moment, a handsome young man who was watching the case said,"I'm Yamashita-kun's roommate. I can testify that he was playing computer games with me all that time and never left the dorm.”
In that case, there seemed to be no major suspects!
Aoki Shuu's girlfriend wasn't present, and it was also understood that Aoki Shuu's roommate wasn't present!
Suicide?
However, Kudo Shinichi looked at Gao Chengyuan!
"Senior Gao Cheng, don't you have any thoughts about the case?”
"Yes!" Gao Chengyuan replied indifferently.
"Oh, what is it?" Kudo Shinichi was very curious.
"I only have one thought. Your method of solving the case is too routine and inefficient!”
Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists and said with a serious expression,""Senior Gao Cheng was able to solve this case. This is different from the previous case.”
"Will the outcome between us change?”
Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched." Where did Senior Gao Cheng get the courage to say that?"”
"You don't believe me?"
"I really don't believe it."
" If the coroner, Kimura, has determined the time of death correctly, then this case is a suicide!" Kudo Shinichi said slowly.”
"Kimura's autopsy found that the time of death was around 2:30, with a deviation of plus or minus half an hour. There's no mistake about this time!”
"But this case isn't a suicide, it's a homicide!" Gao Chengyuan said calmly.”
