Chapter 176 Kogoro Mouri: I'm really scared...
Chapter 176 Kogoro Mouri: I'm really scared...
"Wait! Don't go over there! No one is allowed to touch the body except for me, the policeman, and Detective Mouri!" Nakamichi Kazushi shouted.
Conan glanced at Michi and Shi with a questioning look, then ignored them and went to examine the body on his own.
The perspective of the Middle Way and Ambition:
Conan, like a wolf that has caught the scent of blood, saw his eyes change in an instant upon seeing the corpse... that urge to explore, that thirst for knowledge, reminded him of a serial killer he had previously arrested...
Upon seeing this, Nakamichi Kazushi couldn't help but swallow hard.
What's wrong with this kid in Kogoro Mouri's family?
"Judging from the signs, it should be a murder without a doubt..." Fuheishen squatted down, glanced at the corpse wearing a bathrobe and leaning against the wall, and stroked his chin.
'Childish ghost..'
Ai rolled her eyes slightly as her chin was touched, and subtly slapped Shinji's hand away.
"This... isn't this suicide?" One of Kogoro Mouri's classmates looked at Jinji Fushiguro and said weakly, "It's obvious..."
"Oh? That's not necessarily true." Conan explained somewhat displeased at someone questioning Shirgege, "Shootings can be divided into suicide and homicide, look here..."
As he spoke, Conan pointed fearlessly at the muzzle of the gun on the corpse.
"It's obvious there are no burn marks on the wound... If a normal person were to commit suicide with a gun, they would definitely burn the wound."
As Conan explained the appearance of the corpse in his childish voice, everyone present gasped and looked at Conan with strange eyes.
Conan was about to explain something... but found that Jin was staring at him with a cold expression.
His tone turned cold, and he crossed his arms as he asked, "What, is there a problem with what I said?"
He has always been a quick learner when it comes to detectives.
Now that he has joined the organization, there is no need for him to pretend anymore. As Shengege said, image is the most important thing.
Kogoro Mouri stared blankly at Conan, his stiff fist hovering in mid-air, unable to strike...
That coldness, that aura of death... made him feel that he would be in danger if he were to smash it down.
Upon seeing Uncle Mori's reaction, Conan couldn't help but smile slightly... but he quickly suppressed it.
He was absolutely thrilled... In the past, his uncle would have punched him and thrown him out.
As revenge, the only way is to secretly shoot him unconscious when the police aren't looking.
But now, things are different; he's a member of the detective organization now!
"No, it's nothing... You're absolutely right." The others swallowed hard, took two steps back, and nodded.
Ran looked at Conan's familiar face, then secretly glanced at Shen... as if she had suddenly realized something.
After confirming that Conan's logic was sound.
The group began to determine the time of death and questioned each person for their alibi.
Surprisingly, everyone had an alibi.
Upon learning this, Conan rubbed his head, feeling somewhat annoyed...
“If it was murder... then the only suspect is this gentleman, right?” One of Kogoro Mouri’s classmates pointed weakly at Jinji Fushiguro.
After he finished speaking, the others also looked at him with suspicion.
It's not directed at Shen Er.
But that's just how people are; they always tend to favor those they're close to... These guys were all classmates in the judo club, and they had a close relationship and knew each other well.
They would never have realized that the murderer was a classmate.
Fuheishen'er's pupils narrowed slightly as he glanced at everyone present... Then he took a few steps forward, his hunched back reaching close to the one who had spoken, and looked him in the eye. "If it were me... you wouldn't even notice."
As he said, if he really wanted to commit the perfect crime... he could have just eliminated all the nearby witnesses. Why go through all this trouble?
"It wasn't Brother Shen, we were watching fireworks..." Xiao Lan's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and she stepped forward, speaking with a firm tone.
“Yeah, if it were Shirge, he wouldn’t need to do it himself.” Conan stared at the person who spoke with his deathly eyes.
"The reason is simple: because Shergege's organization has many people, if they really wanted to commit a crime, we wouldn't be able to find the body at all."
He was telling the truth. With Shen'ergege's strength and the men under his command, they simply couldn't do anything about it if he committed a crime.
Fortunately... Shörgege is one of our own.
Conan's words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
Who exactly are the people Kogoro brought? They don't even need to lift a finger to commit crimes?
"Uh... I, I, thank you for your answers." Kogoro stood up straight, took a few steps back, and said, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Ha, haha, I also think Mr. Fukuro couldn't possibly be the murderer." Another classmate chuckled awkwardly.
Kogoro Mouri stared wide-eyed at Conan and Ran in disbelief...
No, something's not right. Is this really Conan and Ran?
"Ran, Conan, please, please don't do this... I'm a little scared." Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran and Conan with pleading eyes.
Xiaolan's expression softened slightly. "No, Dad, I just can't stand people who judge others by their appearance."
"Seriously, Uncle Mori, what are you afraid of..." Conan rolled his eyes at Kogoro Mori.
Fuheshen'er: ......
I wonder if letting Conan join the organization was the right choice.
Before joining the group, Conan at least pretended... but now, he doesn't even bother pretending anymore?
“Wait a minute…” one of Kogoro Mouri’s classmates said, “At the time, Yumi kept looking inside the ping-pong room, and it looked like Kazushi, you were inside too, right?”
“Hehe...I am indeed here.” He Zhi nodded, completely unfazed. “But when I came out, it was at a different time than when the other person died.”
"You've overlooked one situation..." Ai glanced at the corpse, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "If a person dies after strenuous exercise, the body will stiffen extremely quickly..."
"Because the body's muscles are under excessive tension, a large amount of protein coagulates rapidly, leaving the whole body in a stiff state."
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's pupils constricted sharply... He looked at Kazushi Nakamichi.
At the scene, the only ones who could use this method were him, a former police officer, and Nakamichi Kazushi...
Upon hearing this, Conan felt a laser pierce his brain... even though he had already confirmed the culprit in his heart.
But there's still no evidence...
and many more...
Conan looked at Ai with suspicion, a hint of doubt in his mind.
Could the other person have shrunk like me?
