After that, Gan Shinji took Mouri Kogoro and his party to meet the other members of the Kitahara family.

First of all, there is Shigeru Kitahara’s current wife, Emiko Kitahara. She looks very young, with long black hair hanging down her back, fair complexion, and green-green fingers. She is wearing a large kimono with long sleeves, as if she is a beauty who stepped out of an ancient scroll.

"Mr. Mori, I leave the matter of Chihui to you." Emiko Kitahara said in a gentle tone: "But please don't worry, even if the truth is not found, I will not let my husband embarrass you."

"Really? That's great!" Mouri Kogoro immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat: "Madam is really reasonable."

Then she looked at Kitahara Sosuke and said: "Sosuke, since you are back this time, don't leave again. Apologize to your father, and the incident will be over. You have to know that he has always cared about you. you."

"You know, everything happened for a reason this time. If I were allowed to choose on my own, it would be impossible for me to come back here." Kitahara Sosuke's expression was indifferent, but his attitude seemed more serious than before: "I can't agree with their approach, and it's impossible for him to do it either. Accept my philosophy. So, that’s it.”

Kitahara Emiko sighed softly and stopped persuading.

When they were going out, Conan saw a girl sticking her head out from behind the door and looking at them secretly. When she met Kitahara Sosuke's eyes, the girl turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Conan felt a little strange, because the girl looked to be in her teens, but her eyes were as innocent and innocent as a child's.

Kithara Sosuke noticed his gaze and said: "That's my sister Akiba. She and Shinichi are both madam's biological children. However, Akiba has been in poor health since she was a child. She has always lived at home and has not even been to school. Second-rate."

Conan had an even weirder feeling in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "What could be suspicious about her?"

——What kind of dark psychology must one have to regard such a little girl as a suspect?

That's right, although Conan is six years younger than the other party on the surface, he still thinks that the other party is a little girl.

Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan also looked at Gan Shinji.

Gan Shinji thought for a while and said: "If I must say it, it's probably because she is very smart, right? Miss Akiba learns everything very quickly, and she has always been fond of mystery books."

After hearing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but look down at Conan, who was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, and said to himself: If this kid lived in this family, he would definitely be a suspect.

Conan, who had his head lowered, noticed the gaze above his head and looked up at Mouri Kogoro, who was staring at him with disgust. He miraculously received the uncle's thoughts, and suddenly his half-moon eyes secretly complained - what's wrong with liking reasoning! Isn’t this basis for judgment too hasty?

………………

The next person I saw was Kitahara Anna - she is considered to be Shigeru Kitahara's lover, but because of the preference of the male master of the family, she also lives in this house. Anna Kitahara has been following Shigeru Kitahara since she was seventeen, and is now twenty-three. Even now, she is still childish but full of charm. Her long brown hair is styled into a princess cut, and her eyes are smart and charming.

Mao Lilan also noticed that although she was also wearing a kimono, some small changes were made in the details, which immediately made the originally simple and heavy dress look playful. However, it is generally difficult for men to detect this kind of small thoughts intuitively. arrive.

Kitahara Ana was playing with a three-year-old boy. After listening to Inishinji's introduction, she seemed very cold. The slight smile she had originally put on because she was looking at the child suddenly disappeared.

"Just check it, I didn't kill anyone anyway."

Kitahara Anna glanced at everyone quickly with slightly red and swollen eyes, then turned her head and called the boy: "Zhuo Ye, stop playing and go back to the house."

The cute little boy with naturally curly hair was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, frowned, and began to cry.

When Mouri Kogoro and others went out, they heard a train whistle-like wail coming from behind, and Kitahara Anna's helpless compromise voice: "Okay, okay, let's play with you! You keep playing! Don't Cried!"

Everyone: "..."

A woman who doesn't even have the heart to hold on for a few seconds...could she possibly kill someone?

……………………

Kitahara Natsumi is tall and has perfect body proportions, but her appearance is slightly ordinary. She has upward eyeliner at the corner of her eyes and slightly downward lips. At first glance, she makes people feel uncomfortable. She is wearing a black women's suit and brown long skirt. With her hair tied into a ponytail, she looks very smart.

"Are you the...sleeping Kogoro?"

She glanced at Mouri Kogoro critically and said disdainfully: "It doesn't seem to be worthy of its name! You have a daughter and a child with you. Do you think this is a family gathering?"

No longer looking at Mouri Kogoro, who was so angry with her, Kitahara Natsuki turned to Kitahara Sosuke: "I heard someone said that you have been very close to people like police detectives recently. I thought this was your resistance. Dad’s way, I didn’t expect... to be this kind of thing?"

She walked up to Kitahara Sosuke, put her hand on his shoulder, and said mockingly: "Cousuke, you'd better have some sense of style. Otherwise... you bow your head and beg me, and I'll beg for mercy from your father on your behalf?"

"Take care of yourself." Kithara Sosuke said coldly: "Sister Xia Wu's dress today is very different from before... Don't you think that since your eldest brother is dead, you will have a chance? You know, father Your Excellency would rather find an outsider than let your daughter inherit the family business!"

Kitahara Xiawu's expression changed, and she glared at Kitahara Sosuke fiercely.

"Sister Xia Wu, don't be angry. It's not like you don't know. Brother Cang Jie never talks nicely. He is not the same type of person as us."

A young man wearing a middle school uniform walked over from the other end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets, raised his hand and said hello: "Hey, hello, I'm Kitahara Shinichi."

"Master Shinichi, are your club activities over?" Gan Shinji bowed and asked.

Mouri Kogoro said in his heart: Even though his eldest brother is dead, why are he still going to participate in club activities?

Kitahara Shinichi said: "Well, I came back early today. Because someone told me that you brought the detective and someone into the house, probably to investigate the death of my eldest brother. I think I must be among those being investigated, right? So I just took the initiative and came back! Let me explain first, I'm still in school! I won't do anything like killing people! Brother Aosuke, you should know this best, right?"

Kitahara Sosuke frowned slightly and looked at him, but said nothing.

"Yeah, you're still the same as before!"

Kitahara Shinichi shrugged, he came suddenly and left gracefully. From the beginning to the end, he didn't give Mouri Kogoro a chance to speak.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Although he hadn't started investigating the case yet, he already felt what kind of chaotic and dangerous whirlpool he had fallen into.

Usually when encountering a murder case, there are usually only three or four suspects, and sometimes there are only one or two suspects if you are lucky. But this time... there are nine suspects named Kitahara alone... No, including Shigeru Kitahara.

It's ten. What's more, there are many servants, bodyguards and underlings in this house.

In the past, he had a huge police force at his disposal. If he made a guess, someone would immediately investigate it. Even if he guessed wrong occasionally, it didn't matter. The most the police department could do was complain about him.

But now, what he is facing is "the truth must be found out within three days", otherwise he will face the threat of unknown consequences. The Beihara family obviously does not intend to call the police, and the only helpers around him are...

Mouri Kogoro looked at his nervous daughter and the dwarf Conan, and suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

"Kitahara...no, Aosuke!" The middle-aged uncle suddenly turned around and held Kitahara Aosuke's hand, with tears in his eyes: "I really have to rely on your help this time!"

Tiger poison does not even eat its seeds.

Although the relationship between Kitahara Sosuke and his family seems to be very problematic, if it cannot be found out...only Kitahara Sosuke is willing to save them.

"Sorry, we have to go see the crime scene next. Master Cangsuke is a suspect, so it's not convenient for us to go with him."

Qian Shinji smiled and forcefully separated their hands.

"Mr. Mori, please go this way. Master Aosuke's previous room has been cleaned. Please go and rest first. The president may want to see you in the evening, so please prepare in advance."

……………………

Kitahara Chihui's body has been collected, but the crime scene was well kept. They even used white lines to outline the outline of the deceased's body like the police did. In addition, a large number of photos were taken. Gan Shinji pulled up the photos from the computer.

, let Kogoro Mouri view them one by one, and he can also zoom in on certain details if necessary.

"The night before yesterday, there was an event in Donghe starting from eight o'clock. We all had dinner at the Rice Flower Hotel. Young Master Zhihui left early because he was feeling unwell. He returned home to rest in the early hours of last night and was killed in this bedroom.

."

"Early last night?" Mouri Kogoro said immediately as if he had caught some loophole: "In that case, Aosuke will never be the murderer! He went to Osaka with us two days ago, and a murder happened on the way. Or Aosuke

He helped catch the murderer! He was at the Metropolitan Police Department from early morning to noon last night, as the Metropolitan Police Department’s police department can testify to this!"

After Ganzhenji listened patiently to what he said, he said: "We have already investigated the whereabouts of Young Master Aosuke in the past two days. In other words, it is precisely because he has a perfect alibi that his suspicions are heightened.

!In general reasoning, those who deliberately prepare alibi for themselves are often the real culprits behind the scenes, aren't they?"

Mouri Kogoro argued blankly: "But this is not reasoning...can he still divide himself into two and appear in different places?"

"Probably not. In fact, two days ago, I went to see Young Master Cang Jie on the order of the president, and I found that not only was he not there, but most of the other servants in his family had also gone out."

Gan Shinji said: "But there are other reasons why Master Aosuke was listed as a suspect. You continue reading... By the way, Mr. Mori seems to have a very good relationship with Master Aosuke. But as a famous detective, you, You shouldn’t be showing favoritism, right?”

"certainly……"

"That's good."

Gan Shinji called up the next picture, and Mouri Kogoro forced himself to focus on the murder case. He knew that only by solving the case could he clear the suspicion of Kitahara Sosuke.

Conan also frowned and looked seriously.

"The cause of death was..." Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Shoot." Ganzhenji called up the photo.

Conan frowned and looked at it. The man in the portrait was lying in a pool of blood with a red dot between his eyebrows.

"The shot hit the center of the eyebrow?" Mouri Kogoro asked: "The murderer must be a person with good marksmanship, right?"

No……

Conan thought.

Judging from the blood splatter marks and wounds, it should be...

"No." Gan Shinji said: "The autopsy report of Young Master Zhihui pointed out that there were sleeping pills remaining in his body. So the murderer should have shot him at close range while he was asleep. Even if his marksmanship is poor, he can still kill him easily. Hit between the eyebrows.”

Several people carefully looked at several photos from various angles after the body was found, and what popped up on the computer was a photo of a young girl.

He has brown hair, bangs, and a bow tied at the back of his head. He looks very well-behaved and seems to be less than twenty years old.

"Huh? This is..."
