Chapter 54 Murder in a secret room?

"The deceased is Isao Tsujimura, a 54-year-old diplomat."

Fortunately, it was only the diplomats of their own country. If diplomats from other countries’ embassies, consulates, or missions to international organizations or regional organizations were killed in the Japanese capital, it would be a major event that would seriously affect Japan’s international image.

As the police department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Megure considers himself a good policeman who is loyal to the country and maintains the image of the police, so he will treat diplomats from his own country or other countries with caution.

However, professional matters should be left to professional people. Police officer Mu Mu asked expectantly after finishing the information about the deceased: "Brother Fengchu, brother Maoli, what do you think of this case?"

Feng Chu hadn't had time to speak yet.

Mori Kogoro immediately smiled and said, "Officer Megure, I don't see any obvious trauma on the body, so it should belong to a murder case."

"Then how did he die?" Officer Mumu continued to ask.

Mori Kogoro scratched his head and said, "Master Police Officer, we won't know until after the judicial autopsy."

Conan looked at Feng Chu's smiling and silent expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching violently, he didn't dare to speak in order to hide his identity.

He could only sigh secretly in his heart——Uncle, you can donate your eyes to those in need if you don’t use them. Didn’t you see the red spot on the root of Isao Tsujimura’s hair? And…

"Humph!"

Hattori Heiji squinted at Mori Kogoro and let out a sneer. As expected, that uncle Mori was a third-rate detective, and his reasoning published in the newspaper was most likely written by Kudo Shinichi.

When Mori Kogoro encounters a difficult case, he will secretly consult Kudo Shinichi, and then Kudo Shinichi will give him advice for the sake of his girlfriend, the so-called "sleeping little boy" Goro" is just Kudo behind the scenes.

Officer Megure naturally didn't know why Hattori Heiji was laughing, so he asked, "You are?"

"He's Hattori Heiji, a hairy detective from Osaka." Mori Kogoro, who felt being ridiculed by Hattori Heiji, immediately sarcastically said.

"Ah, then you are the son of Hattori Heizo, the current head of Osaka Prefecture, right?"

Officer Megure looked at Hattori Heiji in shock when he heard this.

Japan's first-level administrative regions are 43 counties with one capital, one capital, and two prefectures. One refers to Tokyo, the other refers to Hokkaido, and the two prefectures are Kyoto and Osaka.Moreover, the three major metropolitan areas in Japan are the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Osaka metropolitan area and the Nagoya metropolitan area.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department has more than 3000 police officers, the Osaka Prefectural Police has more than 2 police officers, the Kyoto Prefectural Police has more than 6000 police officers, and the other prefectures basically have less than 3000 police officers. Therefore, as the son of the highest leader of the Osaka Prefectural Police —— Hattori Heiji is the real second generation of top power.

The police all over the world are one family, but Officer Megure of the police department was really cautious for a while when facing Hattori Heiji.

Family members of diplomats such as Koe Tsujimura and Kizen Tsujimura looked in awe.

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "This is a poisoning case!"

"Look, there are small red dots on the edge of the hair root of the deceased, and there are iron needles next to the suspected murder weapon, and his lips, hands and feet are purple, and the conjunctiva of the eyes is bleeding. These are all evidences of suffocation."

"However, no signs of strangulation or drowning were found on the body surface of the deceased, so it can be ruled out that the death was caused by mechanical suffocation."

"Therefore, it is most likely that the murderer first paralyzed the nerves of the deceased, and then poisoned the deceased with a deadly poison."

"Also, after he fell, I immediately checked his pulse and found that his body was still warm, so I can confirm that the deceased was poisoned by the murderer within 30 minutes before we entered the study, and the murderer, most likely Still around here."

Hattori Heiji finished speaking confidently, and then he couldn't help but look at Fengchu. In the absence of Kudo, only Fengchu can be his opponent.

As for Uncle Mao Li, he was nothing more than a gimmick—a figurehead.

As expected of the son of the head of Osaka Prefecture!

After listening to the reasoning, Police Officer Mu Mu couldn't help but nodded in secret praise.

However, no matter how powerful Hattori Heiji is, he is also from Osaka. It is best to rely on our own talents in Tokyo to solve the case. Therefore, Police Officer Megure looked at Mori Kogoro with a little disappointment, and then looked at Kazatsu expectantly.

Feng Chu said with a faint smile: "It's too early to draw conclusions."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji frowned and thought about whether there was something missing in his reasoning.

Mori Kogoro asked: "When we came, the door was locked, and the windows in the room were also locked. How did the murderer get in?"

Officer Megure immediately asked: "Mrs. Tsujimura, how many people have the key to this study?"

"It's just me and my husband, mine is here, my husband's is usually in his pants pocket."

Koe Tsujimura took out the key from the purse again and showed it to Police Officer Megure. The key ring of the key was still decorated with shell-shaped decorations.

Police officer Mu Mu immediately approached the deceased Tsujimura Hoon, squatted down and reached into the deceased's trouser pocket.

When the deceased's trouser pocket was pulled out, everyone could see that the key and pendant, which were exactly the same as Tsujimura Koe's, fell out of the small pocket inside the trouser pocket at the same time.

"This is a murder case in a secret room!" Hattori Heiji narrowed his pupils and said firmly.

"This, this..."

Isn't that an impossible crime?How did the prisoners get in and out?Police officer Megure and Mori Kogoro fell into the same doubts, and felt the difficulty of the case at this time.

Takazen Tsujimura, Sachiko Katsuragi, and housekeeper Fumio Koike were also surprised.

"The murderer should have put Tsujimura Hoon in a posture of putting his hands on his face after killing Tsujimura Hosun, and then locked the door and left. According to the fact that it was 16 o'clock when we found that the deceased was still warm, it can be inferred that the time of the crime was in the afternoon. From 15:30 to 16:[-]."

"Officer, immediately investigate the alibi of all those who may have committed the crime during this period!"

Although Hattori Heiji hasn't figured out what the murderer's modus operandi is, he can also narrow down the scope first, find out those who don't have an alibi, and then obtain more information through questioning...
Hattori Heiji's bossy tone made Police Officer Megure a little dissatisfied. After all, this is Tokyo, not Osaka, and he is also the head of the No. [-] Division of Forcible Criminal Investigation of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Section, and his police rank is the police department.

Slander is slander, and words cannot be said clearly.

So, Police Officer Mu Mu mysteriously pulled Feng Chu and Mori Kogoro by the corner, and solemnly said: "Brother Feng Chu, brother Mao Li, please do your best! Fight for Tokyo people!"

Mori Kogoro was excited, scratching his head like an ape, trying to figure out the key to solving the case.

Feng Chu calmly said: "Officer Mu Mu, don't worry, let's investigate their alibi first."
