"Hahaha, the police department has given you an award. The Heisei Sherlock Holmes is just a nickname given by everyone. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
"If I have to say something, I can only say that I am just a detective who is driven by justice."
At this moment, Kogoro Aoyama scratched his head and laughed.
Although he spoke modestly, the swaying expression on his face clearly meant what he wanted to express.
This is telling Officer Higurashi that if you can speak, speak more.
Especially in front of a beautiful police officer like Kosagawa Maho.
"Ahem, brother Qingshan, let's do business first."
Officer Higurashi obviously had no intention of continuing to be a flatterer and brought the topic back to the case in front of him.
He introduced with a serious expression.
"The information we currently have is this..."
After listening to Officer Higurashi's narration, Kogoro Aoyama couldn't help but pinch his chin and fell into thinking.
"Is that so? It turned out to be a secret room murder incident..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, he raised his head and asked.
"Officer Higurashi, where is the witness who found the body now?"
"Because the other party was very frightened, he went to a nearby hospital accompanied by the police officer."
Officer Higurashi seemed to realize something and asked quickly.
"Brother Qingshan, have you discovered anything?"
"Yes, because I suspect that this is not the crime scene at all, but the second crime scene."
Aoyama Kogoro said solemnly.
Officer Higurashi was startled, then frowned.
"However, the victim's blood was found only in this place in the entire villa..."
"This is easy to explain. For a professional cleaner, whether it is oil stains or blood stains, they can be cleaned without leaving any traces."
Aoyama Kogoro said.
"And the so-called secret room was only what Officer Higurashi heard from witnesses, right?"
Officer Higurashi was suddenly startled.
"So, brother Qingshan, do you think the murderer is the cleaner?"
"That's right."
Kogoro Aoyama showed a confident expression and pointed.
"Secondly, look at the wounds on the deceased's body."
"Although there are many injuries, most of them are not fatal, and there are even signs of repeated cuts, indicating that the prisoner obviously has no experience in this area."
"So it's very possible that this was not a premeditated murder, but an accident."
"I speculated that the cleaner who had the owner's spare key might have become greedy for the owner's property. He originally planned to take action while the owner was not at home, but was accidentally caught by the owner, and a dispute broke out.
In the process, he accidentally killed the other party."
"In desperation, we can only fake it into a secret room murder case to divert our attention."
Having said this, he waved his hand and gave an order to Officer Higurashi.
"Officer Higurashi, please contact the police officer accompanying the prisoner immediately to prevent the prisoner from escaping."
Hearing this, Officer Higurashi had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"But brother Qingshan, that cleaning staff is a mother-in-law who is almost sixty years old."
"Because he is very serious and responsible in his work, he is very popular with the victims, so he will name him to clean the villa every time."
"A sixty-year-old mother-in-law would have a hard time killing a man in his prime, even if it were a sneak attack from behind, let alone during a dispute."
"And according to the villa's access control record, the other party did not arrive at the victim's house until six in the morning."
"It is almost impossible for a sixty-year-old mother-in-law to kill the person and deal with the scene within half an hour, not to mention that the time of death of the victim is also inconsistent with Brother Qingshan's reasoning.
Not consistent..."
"Brother Qingshan, do you have any more conclusive reasoning?"
"Ah? This, that..."
After his reasoning was overturned by Officer Higurashi, Kogoro Aoyama's face turned red and white, and his face obviously lost the confidence he had just now.
"Wait, let me think about it again——"
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly became straight.
Just when Kosagawa Maho thought he had discovered something new, he saw Kogoro Aoyama's body start to stagger back as if dancing.
At the same time, he rolled his eyes upward.
With a pop, he fainted and fell against the wall, unconscious.
"Detective Aoyama, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Kosagawa Maho was immediately startled, and subconsciously stepped forward to check the opponent's status.
But he was grabbed by the people around him.
Kosagawa Maho turned around in surprise and looked at the Higurashi Police Department behind her who was holding her arm to prevent her from coming forward.
"Police department? What are you doing?"
"Shh, it's coming."
At this moment, Officer Higurashi's face gradually became serious.
"What? What's coming? Police department, please tell me clearly."
Kosagawa Maho asked doubtfully.
"Xiao Sagawa, you have only been in the job for a short time, and you don't know enough about many things about Brother Qingshan."
Higurashi Police Department said meaningfully.
"Actually, apart from the title 'Besides Sherlock Holmes of Heisei', Brother Aoyama has another title that is even more talked about."
"What is it?"
Kosagawa Maho asked curiously.
Looking at the tall figure slumped against the wall, Higurashi Police Department said in a deep voice.
"He is also known as the 'Comatose Aoyama Kogoro'."
"And when he entered a coma, that's when he really started to reason."
Comatose Kogoro Aoyama?
Hearing this title, Kosagawa Maho couldn't help but be a little surprised in his eyes.
But more than anything I don't understand.
"But the police department, if you're just reasoning, why are you unconscious?"
"This is not a real coma, but because when Brother Qingshan's brain is running rapidly, the amount of energy consumed can even paralyze the body. This is a level that we ordinary people cannot reach at all."
Officer Higurashi explained seriously.
"When he completes his reasoning, he will wake up automatically. By that time, no case in the world can stand in front of Brother Qingshan."
Although I didn’t understand it, it sounded awesome...
Looking at Kogoro Aoyama, who was drooling slowly from his mouth at this moment, Maho Kosagawa nodded in confusion.
Just as Officer Higurashi said, not long after, Kogoro Aoyama, who was in a coma, opened his eyes again.
This time, there was an extremely confident look in his eyes.
He skillfully wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said seriously.
"I see, I understand."
Upon seeing this, Officer Higurashi felt happy and quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Brother Qingshan, how are you doing? Do you have any clues about who the murderer is?"
"There are already results."
Kogoro Aoyama nodded affirmatively, stood up and came to the corpse, saying in a deep voice.
