Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 305 Kogoro who knows everything

The scene on the seventh floor was cordoned off and police were conducting investigation work. Officer Megure was looking down at the fragments of flower pots on the ground, while directing other police officers to collect evidence.

Conan was observing quietly from the side, scanning the surrounding environment with sharp eyes. He carefully observed the layout of the scene and possible clues, and began to construct the plot of the crime and the outline of the suspect in his mind.

Officer Megure asked Kogoro what he thought.

Mouri Kogoro touched his head, "I suspect that the murderer lifted the flowerpot from behind the deceased and smashed it over without him noticing."

Officer Megure thought it made sense when he heard it, but the person in the forensics class just now said that the back of the deceased's head was hit with a blunt instrument and the bones were broken. He was somewhat doubtful whether the material of the flowerpot could cause such damage.

"Officer Megure, look, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

"what?"

"There are signs of being hit by sharp objects on the railings here. Could this incident be related to this case?"

Not only was Conan's performance not appreciated, but Kogoro drove him back to the house on the grounds that he should not point fingers in front of adults.

Officer Megure agreed with Conan's findings. The traces here indeed looked like they had been struck with a sharp weapon.

"Why are there so many knock marks? It's like I'm practicing something on purpose." After driving Conan away, Kogoro said casually to other marks of the same size on the railing.

"Practice? Brother Maori, did you find anything?"

Kogoro, who was called upon, immediately waved his hand, indicating that he was just talking casually.

"Really? But what Brother Maori said is quite right. There are so many identical traces that look like they were typed out by one person non-stop. It makes sense to say that they were practicing."

These were the only clues left at the scene. Officer Memu, who had nothing new to discover, planned to use social connections to obtain clues. I didn’t expect that it didn’t matter if I didn’t ask. As soon as I asked, I found out that several people present had had conflicts with the deceased to one degree or another.

Terashiki Norio stated that his shop was taken away by the deceased through a legal loophole.

Tetsuo Dohashi said that Takako Iki and the deceased are currently fighting for divorce compensation with the deceased.

Tetsuo Dohashi didn't say anything, but Takako Iki said that he came to the deceased to plead for mercy because of the company's bad debts, but he was rejected many times. ,

After recording, Officer Megure closed his police manual and said, "That means you all have sufficient motives, right?"

Several people looked at each other in shock after hearing this, but they all said that they were nearby when the crime occurred, but they did not see the specific scene of the crime.

Moreover, everyone’s alibi was far-fetched. Only Norio Terashiki’s alibi was more reasonable. The building manager downstairs could also confirm his statement, “That’s true, but Mr. Terashiki didn’t mean to Went to practice golf? Why are you back so soon?"

"Ahaha, that's because I often can't make up my mind, so I didn't go and came back directly. Hahaha"

After listening to everyone's remarks, Officer Megure asked Mouri Kogoro for his opinion.

"In my opinion, only Mr. Norio Terashiki was not in the building at that time, so he cannot be the murderer."

Fujiwara Hoshikai, who was silent at first, didn't hold back when he heard this. According to the past laws of science, whoever Kogoro was the first to rule out was the murderer. Norio Terashiki was the murderer.

(I discovered it)

Just now he heard that the other party said that he was the owner of the fishing shop, and just now Kogoro mentioned that someone was knocking on the railing non-stop to practice something. There is a high probability that it is related to this case.

So while the others were still arguing, Fujiwara quietly walked to the balcony and inspected the railing carefully.

Really clueless, he inadvertently glanced at the building opposite. It was twenty meters away. He should be able to hit it here with one swing, but even an experienced fisherman would not be able to get there in one go.

"Wait a moment."

Fujiwara touched the rows of dents in astonishment, and suddenly thought that he might have guessed something. Aren't these rows of dents the marks of repeated practice?

The speculation in his mind gradually matured, and at this moment he vaguely remembered the plot of this episode. It seemed that the owner of the fishing shop used a lead weight tied in front of the rope to kill the deceased who was doing Tai Chi.

"md, it's really him."

But he didn't remember how Conan and the others collected physical evidence. It seemed like they could only rely on those two people.

On the other side, Officer Megure, who couldn't find any clues, took Kogoro to the balcony to look at the beating marks. Officer Megure suddenly thought that the murderer might not be those two people. Upon hearing this, Kogoro immediately imitated a scene of a roc spreading its wings and roaring that the murderer could not grow wings and fly away on his own.

Unlike Fujiwara who thought about the plot, Conan was observing the surrounding environment very carefully. His brain was running rapidly, analyzing every detail, trying to piece together these fragmented clues into a complete picture.

"That makes sense, but didn't Brother Maori say there was no evidence?"

Kogoro coughed in embarrassment at the shortcomings mentioned, but he still calmly approached Fujiwara and asked if he had found any clues.

Fujiwara, who originally planned to watch the show and let them figure it out on their own, thought for a moment and said, "Uh-huh. I'm not sure, but the teacher just ruled out that person's suspicion a little bit arbitrary. According to his status as a fisherman, he can definitely go there." That abandoned building opposite”

After what Fujiwara said, Kogoro felt that it made sense, so he immediately led everyone to the abandoned building opposite, found the expected footprints, and started his own reasoning.

"One of the three of you has been here. The footprints on the right shoulder forward are the best proof. In fact, we were misled by those flower pots. The murder weapon was not the flower pot but was smashed with a lead block. The dead."

Listening to Kogoro's reasoning, Officer Megure and the others all looked at Norio Terashiki, who had rich experience in throwing poles.

"Furthermore, the murderer knew that the victim would practice Tai Chi at a fixed time and practiced it many times. In addition, there was an accident and he hit a birdie that flew over when he was closing the golf club."

Seeing that Kogoro said something similar, Conan also found the key physical evidence.

"This is called a rod handle. People who fish often put a plastic hose on it every time they can't unscrew the fishing rod."

"That's right, but Conan, why do you know such a thing?"

"That's because the fishing program broadcast yesterday happened to have some knowledge about this. Speaking of which, you have to take off your gloves when twisting this thing."

Conan's words were like a fatal blow that hit Norio Terashiki who had a sense of luck.

While being questioned by Officer Megure, he knelt down and began to write his murder memoirs.

"It's all because that guy laughed at me and planned to use it to destroy my beloved fishing shop. He even trampled my beloved fishing rod to pieces in front of me."
