While Miyamoto Yumi sighed and had a headache to deal with the follow-up, Fumimon Shizuo and others rushed to the scene of the murder - the villa of the female industrialist Ikko Kojima.
However, due to a slight delay of a few minutes, the people in the forensics class arrived one step ahead of them and had already consciously started the investigation work.
"Where's the criminal investigation?" Shizuo Komemon looked around and found no old acquaintance.
"The Gumeimen Police Department asked me if something happened? If nothing happens, I will continue to work."
A young female forensics officer with waist-length double ponytails and a hat backwards stood up immediately.
She looks a bit like Miyamoto Yumi, but her attitude is a bit bad.
"Who are you?" Shizuo Komemon asked as he looked at this strange female forensic examiner.
"I am also a criminal investigator. My father took a leave of absence due to injury, and now I am responsible for leading the forensics department to conduct investigations.
If the Gumeimen Police Department has any dissatisfaction with the work of the Forensic Section, please feel free to contact me."
Demi's daughter's tone was a little stiff.
Shizuo Komemon glanced at the other forensic examiners at the scene, "Are all the men in the forensics class dead?"
All the forensic examiners were busy working, pretending not to hear.
"Can I understand that you, Gumeimen Police Department, are looking down on my identity as a woman?" Demi's daughter said with her head held high.
Miwako Sato stood up and wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Shizuo Komemon. He said calmly:
"If you don't do your job well, don't expect me to treat you differently because of your identity as a woman."
"Exactly what I want." Demi's daughter saluted, "If there is nothing else at the Gumeimen Police Department, I will go to work first."
After saying that, she turned around and went to work, her two braids beating lively behind her head.
"Gumeimen Police Department, there is surveillance at the entrance of this villa!" Gao Mushe came over to report with excitement.
Shizuo Komemon couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Can there still be surveillance in the world of Conan? It's really rare, but most likely there will still be pitfalls, otherwise Conan's reasoning will not be useful...
By the way, where is Conan? No Death came today? Is it just an ordinary case?
"Let's call up the monitoring first."
"Hi!"
A few minutes later, Wataru Takagi came back, and the forensics department also came to a preliminary conclusion, and the summarized case report was sent to Shizuo Komemon.
"The deceased, Ikuko Kojima, was 50 years old, an entrepreneur, mainly engaged in electrical appliance sales. The cause of death was that he was strangled by someone's throat and suffocated to death. The time of death did not exceed two hours.
According to the surveillance video investigation, there were three visitors tonight. In addition to Juro Yoshioka who found the body and reported the crime, two other people have already tried to contact them..."
It was said that they were contacting the suspect, but not only the suspect arrived at the scene ten minutes later, but even the absent Maori family arrived belatedly.
"So, what do you have to do with this case?" Shizuo Komemon asked with a blank look on his face.
Mouri Kogoro was still a little emotional because of Shizuo Komemon's "sentimental" words before, so he curled his lips and said nothing.
It was definitely not because he was angry that the other police officer had a higher rank than him, which caused him to lose face in front of his daughter, so he didn't want to speak.
Finally, Mao Lilan explained: "We had just come out from the Double Dragon Hotel after dinner, and my father suddenly ran into the middle of the road and was almost hit by a car. The driver happened to be Izumi Takeo-san who was summoned by you."
A young man who looked very flustered subconsciously avoided the eyes directed by Shizuo Komemon.
The other suspect, Chihiro Kojima, the daughter of the deceased next to her, looked impatient.
When Miwako Sato saw that everyone was here, she said, "Then let's start according to the established process..."
"Ahem." Mouri Kogoro cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention.
Shizuo Komemon turned to look at him and said, "Detective Mori has pharyngitis? Please smoke less in the future."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
"Dad, what the Gumeimen Police Department said is right. You should smoke less. The cost of buying cigarettes every month is not small..." Mao Lilan took advantage of the situation to encourage.
"We'll talk about this later. What I want to talk about now is about this case." Mouri Kogoro looked serious.
"More than once, you always say that I lead people into the maze on purpose, and that I always identify innocent people, and even talk about the Maori elimination method...
I can't tolerate this anymore!" Kogoro Mouri shouted angrily.
"When did he hear us talking about the Mori elimination method? I remember avoiding him." Shizuo Furumemon asked in a low voice to Miwako Sato next to him.
Sato Miwako said dumbfounded: "Is now the time to talk about this? Detective Mori is obviously angry, okay? This matter is indeed very emotional..."
"So, this time I decided to do the opposite!" Detective Maori looked confident.
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
"It's over. I'm afraid the Mori elimination method can no longer be used. I haven't used it even once..." Miwako Sato whispered to Shizuo Furumimon in a low voice.
Shizuo Komemon also lowered his voice and replied: "It's okay, there are other ways."
Mouri Kogoro walked up to Izumi Takeo, stared at him and said: "When this suspect received the call from your police, he was very panicked and even wanted to escape on the spot. I felt suspicious at the time, so I arrested him on the spot.
Already."
Takeo Izumi quickly waved his hand and shook his head, "No, it's not..."
Mouri Kogoro interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't worry, I mean, my first instinct tells me that you must be the murderer if you are so panicked.
But...if the opposite is the correct answer, that means you are innocent!"
Takeo Izumi didn't understand the logic, and looked confused as Kogoro Mouri patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, and the latter's eyes seemed to be very encouraging.
"So, according to the judgment of my famous detective Mouri Kogoro, the murderer is between the remaining two!"
Mouri Kogoro turned around and pointed at the deceased's daughter sitting on the sofa and Yoshioka Juro who found the body.
The scene was quiet, and Mouri Kogoro felt that they were shocked by his superb reasoning.
It's not impossible to say that it's not true at all. Conan even muttered a little guiltyly. If Uncle Maori did the opposite on his own, wouldn't it really be possible for him to be deceived?
At this time, Takagi Wataru cautiously said: "That... Detective Maori, according to the confession from the security company, they came here at 9 o'clock in the evening because they were looking for a cat, and saw the deceased.
According to the surveillance video records, Izumi Takeo-san left here at 8:40 pm.
Therefore, on the surface, he is the only one among the three who cannot commit the crime..."
Mouri Kogoro didn't know the possible paradox in Ke Xue's Law. Hearing this, he smiled proudly and patted Takeo Izumi on the shoulder.
"That's right? Sure enough, he is not the murderer, right? Now I have mastered the skills of solving crimes while awake. My detective Mouri Kogoro will be more than just a sleeping Kogoro, hahahaha~~~"
Shizuo Komemon whispered to Miwako Sato: "You are worried for nothing, Detective Mori is still performing steadily."
Sato Miwako felt very complicated, while Shiratori Rensaburo on the side looked suspicious of the world. Detective Mori...how did this happen?
