Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 56 Professor Hirota's Secret Room Murder Case

"Dinner is ready~"

Sakurako Yonehara pushed a food truck to break up the dignified atmosphere.

"Okay, okay, put aside the unpleasant things first, the most important thing now is to eat." Kenta said, picking up the chopsticks.

Seeing Sakurako Yonehara standing aside again, Kenta got up and pressed her onto the seat, rubbing her dog's head angrily, "Let's eat together, will you cook for yourself later?"

After drinking and eating, the maid put away the tableware.

Dr. Ali asked: "Speaking of which, have your parents moved to a safe place?"

Haibara sighed, "Don't worry about it. My parents were also members of the organization. They died in an accident shortly after I was born."

"Then do you have any other relatives?"

"I only have one older sister who gathers less and leaves more." Hui Yuanai recalled the past, "I studied in the United States for a long time under the arrangement of the organization, but my sister was different from me and was left behind in Neon. , so I can keep an eye on you. Go to an ordinary school, make ordinary friends, and travel with ordinary people..."

"By the way, a few years before my sister was killed, I remember that she burned her travel photos into a CD and sent it to me. I checked it on the organization's computer and sent it back. After that, I saved the CD of drug information It suddenly disappeared. I remember looking for it for a long time, but I couldn’t find it.”

With a flash of inspiration, Conan said, "So that's it. You mixed up the CD-ROM of medicine information and the CD-ROM of my sister's travel photos, and sent them back to my sister together."

Dr. A Li said: "Then let's go to your sister's apartment to look for it, maybe we can find it?"

Hui Yuanai said: "Impossible, as I said just now, my sister's apartment has been taken in by someone else, and the things must have been cleaned up."

"However, my sister said that those CDs were made by the university professor who traveled together, and maybe they will be at the professor's place..."

Conan asked, "Who is this professor?"

"It's a professor at Nanyang University, Masami Hirota."

Hirota Masami, Conan feels a little familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

Dr. Ali took out his mobile phone, "Okay, let me ask my friends at Nanyang University to see if they know Professor Hirota, and make an appointment to visit later. By the way, what's your sister's name?"

Haibara Ai said with a sad face, "Miyano Akemi."

"Miyano Akemi?" Seeing the sad Hui Yuan Ai, the doctor almost relented and told her the truth.

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Kenta kicked the doctor and sent him a text message.

"I'll tell her when Mingmei recovers from her injuries."

Dr. Ali rubbed his legs, looked at the text message, and gave Kenta a reassuring look.

"Well, good. Then we'll come and visit later."

After hanging up the phone, the doctor made an OK gesture, "It's done, there is a strange CD in Professor Hirota's place. Get ready, let's go and visit Professor Hirota."

Conan took out his mobile phone and called Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm not coming back today, I'm staying at the doctor's house."

Xiaolan said angrily on the phone: "What, I have already prepared dinner and have been waiting for you to come back for dinner."

"But Dr. Ali made a fun video game, and he asked me to play it with him. Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Conan let out a long breath before waiting for a response from the other side to turn off the phone.

"Heh, you're pretty good at pretending to be a child." Hui Yuanai mocked.

Conan replied: "Yeah, but not as good as you, and you are so good at pretending to cry."

Kenta has nothing to prepare here, so he went home and took his laptop, asked Yonehara Sakurako to go to bed early, and came to the doctor's house.

Dr. Ali still drove the golden Beetle, carrying Edogawa Conan, Yoshida Kenta, and Haibara Ai towards Nanyang University.

In the car, Conan sat in the co-pilot and whispered to the doctor, "Dr. Li, you can't take that woman lightly."

Dr. Ali replied: "I have a measure."

In the back row, Kenta said to Haibara Ai, "Life is always full of miracles", then closed his eyes and meditated,

Hui Yuanai had a question mark on his face, what do you mean?
Nanyang University is located in Shizuoka County, more than 150 kilometers away from Tokyo.

Three hours later, the car arrived in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Relying on the navigation of the future, Dr. Ali arrived at Professor Hirota's home without much effort.

ding dong~
The hostess Toshiko Hirota invited the four of them into the house, "Dr. Ali and his party, right? Please come in, I have already heard my husband mention your matter."

Dr. Ali asked: "Excuse me, it's late at night. I just heard on the phone that he has guests. Have you all gone back?"

"Well, yes. A few batches of students happened to come to see him today, but they have all gone back."

Hirota Toshiko took the man to her husband's door, knocked, but no one answered, turned the door handle, and the door was locked.

"Strange, are you asleep? What are you doing inside, and you locked the door?"

Conan on the side stared at the door frame, and the scene became quiet for a while.

Kenta suddenly came back to his senses, and looked down at Conan with a serious expression.Hiss, I forgot, I miscalculated, I shouldn't be with Conan.

Conan suddenly jumped up vigorously, lying on the side of the upper window, and looked inside, his face changed drastically.

"Is there a backup key here?" Conan jumped down and asked the hostess.

"No backup key."

"Doctor, help me break open this door now."

"Let me do it." Kenta stopped Dr. A Li, don't get hurt by this old arm and leg.

When he came to the door, he hit the iron mountain hard and knocked the door open.

Looking into the house, sure enough, a homicide happened, and Kenta almost forgot that he and Conan hadn't appeared at the scene of the homicide recently.

Before the hostess recovered, the door was knocked open, "What are you doing?"

She hurried to the door, checked the condition of the door, and looked into the house inadvertently.

"what--"

Hirota Toshiko let out a piercing scream.

I saw that Professor Hirota's face was frozen, and he was already lying in a pool of blood, with a statue under his head. It looked like he fell from a high place and died when he touched the statue.

The surroundings are in a mess, the bookshelves are overturned, and the books are scattered all over the place.

Twenty minutes later, the police arrived.The person who came was Shizuoka County Police, Henggou Sanwu.

After a series of investigations, the police initially judged the death as accidental.

"Accidental Death?"

Police officer Henggou said: "Well, all the doors and windows at the scene are locked, the key of the room is pressed under the book, and there is no spare key for this room.

So it should be that after the deceased locked the door, he was arranging the things on the bookshelf inside, and accidentally fell from a high place. In a panic, he scratched around with his hands and got these things to the ground.

But he was unlucky. When he fell, he hit his head on the statue and bled to death. "

Conan said from the side: "It may also be a homicide disguised as an accidental death."

"Huh? You mean the kid from Mr. Mori's family?"

"Look at that phone. If it was dropped and scratched, things would be scattered all over the place. That wired phone, the microphone should have been separated from the base. But it didn't."

Conan pointed to a phone that was under the pressure of a book. The base and the microphone were tightly fastened together, and turned upside down on the ground.

Officer Henggou looked at the phone, simulated it in his mind, and said, "There is some truth to what you said."

"Since this is the case, it means that this is a secret room murder!!"
