Chapter 119: The Case of the Matryoshka Dolls
8pm
Secretary Nishino rushed to Maori Kogoro's room in a panic and knocked on the door frantically: "Mr. Maori, Mr. Maori, something bad has happened!"
Maori Kogoro opened the door and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Secretary Nishino looked panicked and spoke with a trembling voice: "Mr. Hanchuan, Mr. Hanchuan was killed!"
"What?!" Kogoro Mouri was shocked.
Attracted by Secretary Nishino's shouting, everyone rushed to Kanchuan Long's room, only to see him lying in a pool of blood and the room was in chaos.
Youye walked in, squatted down to check and said: "The right eye was hit, the body has just begun to stiffen, and the time of death is about 30 minutes." He turned his eyes and found that the ring that was originally worn on the chest was gone.
"Uncle Shi Lang, this is a murder case, please call the police immediately!"
···
Soon, Inspector Megure and a group of police officers arrived on the ship by helicopter.
"Hmm? Inspector Shiratori?" Youya was a little surprised. He walked over and said hello. "Aren't you going to the villa in Karuizawa for vacation?"
Shiratori Renzaburo smiled and said, "It was too boring to stay in the villa alone. When I was returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, I met Inspector Megure. When I heard that there was a case, I followed him here."
Yuya nodded and whispered, "How's the wine-flavored drink I told you about last time?"
Shiratori Renzaburo was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically, "Ah, I didn't have time to bring it this time. I'll give it to you later."
Yuya nodded and fell silent.
Seeing that he was silent, Shiratori Renzaburo said, "I'll go check out the scene," and left.
Yuya looked at his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He walked to Miyano Shiho and nodded in that direction and whispered, "Kid."
Miyano Shiho looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Inspector Shiratori clearly told me that he was going to the villa in Karuizawa for vacation. He originally invited me to go, but unfortunately I didn't have time. Why did he suddenly appear here?
And last time I made an appointment with him to go to his villa to taste wine, but now he said he would give it to me later, so he must not be Shiratori himself, so who else could it be except Kidd?"
You can’t say that I knew it in my previous life, right?
Miyano Shiho nodded in realization: "Don't expose him?"
Yuya waved his hand: "No need, I want to see what he is doing on the boat."
Inspector Megure brought people to check Samukawa Ryu's room. It was in a mess, even the pillows on the bed were punctured and feathers were flying everywhere. In addition, all the videotapes were taken away.
Finally, a ballpoint pen was found with the name of Secretary Nishino written on it.
I found Secretary Nishino and asked him about the situation, but he had no idea why the ballpoint pen fell in Kankawa Ryu's room.
Moreover, he took a shower and a nap in the room at the time of the crime, so he had no alibi.
Immediately afterwards, Takagi Wataru found the ring that belonged to Ryu Kamikawa under the bed in Nishino's secretary's room.
"We have found the decisive evidence!" Inspector Megure said in a deep voice.
Secretary Nishino was startled and grabbed Inspector Megure and shook him, "It wasn't me. I didn't kill him, Inspector Megure."
Inspector Megure was caught off guard and almost shaken unconscious.
Yuuya walked around the room, his eyes landing on a pillow that had a somewhat peculiar shape.
I walked over and touched it, and found that it was not a feather pillow like the other rooms, but a rice husk one.
"Inspector, Secretary Nishino is not the criminal." Yuya said.
"What?" Inspector Megure was a little surprised.
Secretary Nishino looked at Yuya in surprise. He had heard of this famous high school detective. If he said that, there was a high probability that he would be able to get rid of suspicion.
Yuya asked, "Is Secretary Nishino allergic to feathers?" Although he used a question, his tone was affirmative.
Secretary Nishino was stunned: "Yes, but how did you know?"
Yuya pointed at the pillow and said, "Because the one you used is not the feather pillow that is provided in all rooms, so I was wondering if this is possible."
"Inspector Megure, do you remember that in Mr. Samukawa's room, the pillow was punctured and there were feathers everywhere?"
Inspector Megure recalled and realized that it was indeed the case.
"That's right, Secretary Nishino is not the murderer of Mr. Kanakawa, because if he was allergic to feathers, he would not have messed up the room like that."
Inspector Megure nodded after thinking about it, but still went to find Shiro Suzuki to confirm.
"Yes, I can testify to that." Shiro Suzuki answered affirmatively.
With Shiro Suzuki's testimony, Secretary Nishino's suspicion was successfully cleared.
"So, who is the murderer? Brother Kamiya, do you have any idea?" Inspector Megure looked at Yuya and asked.
Yuya stroked his chin and said after a while: "Inspector Megure, have you heard of Shikaobing?"
Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment: "Shikaobing?"
Pu Siqinglan's expression changed, and she looked at Youye calmly.
Yuya nodded. "Yes, that's the robber who specializes in shooting people in the right eye and stealing treasures from the Romanov dynasty in various countries. He is now wanted by Interpol, but the weird thing is that no one knows his gender or age. There is almost no useful information."
Inspector Megure's face changed: "Hearing you say that, I remember there was such a person. Do you mean that he was the one who killed Mr. Kankawa?"
Yuya nodded: "According to my guess, Mr. Kanchuan's room is so messy because he is looking for the ring. According to Miss Qinglan, the ring belongs to Nicholas II's third daughter Maria. Right, Miss Qinglan?"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Pu Siqinglan.
Pu Siqinglan was stunned for a moment, then nodded to confirm Youye's words.
"The Romanov ring, plus the shot in the right eye, I am 90% sure that the murderer is Scoobing."
Inspector Megure cooperated and asked, "What about the remaining 10%?"
Youya smiled and said, "Just in case my reasoning is wrong, I can save some face then."
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"In that case, the person who shot Kaito Kidd was also a Scorpion?" Conan suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Conan.
Conan explained: "The monocle that Kidd often wears on his right eye was broken, right? I think Scout sniped Kidd in order to seize the Egg of Memories in his hand. Isn't that Egg of Memories also a treasure of the Romanov dynasty? It's a pity that brother Heiji got it first." Then he spread his hands cutely.
Yuya's mouth twitched and he felt like retching in his heart.
This guy, after his identity was revealed by Mao Lilan, became more and more unrestrained when acting as a child.
Miyano Shiho looked at Conan with interest, thinking that since Conan was in such a good condition, should he take some samples from this time? You know, a person's mood can also affect their physical condition, and testing may yield new discoveries.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but rub her arms secretly - what should I do, I'm still not used to it! Can't he be more restrained?
Inspector Megure was still a little confused: "If the murderer was really Shi Kaoping, why did he hide the stolen ring in Mr. Nishino's room?"
Kogoro Mouri frowned and looked up at the sky, thinking hard, as if to say, "I'm thinking but I don't know the reason."
Yuya said, "I guess it wasn't Skoubing who put the ring in Mr. Nishino's room."
"Huh? What do you say?"
Yuya looked at Secretary Nishino and asked, "Do Mr. Nishino and Mr. Samukawa know each other? When we were at the art gallery today, I noticed that he was startled when he saw you."
"Really?" Secretary Nishino was very surprised. "But I have been following President Suzuki since I returned to China. I don't remember Mr. Kanakawa among the people I have come into contact with."
Yuya reminded, "I remember Sonoko said that you travel overseas all the time. Is it possible that you have seen him abroad?"
Secretary Nishino frowned and thought hard. After a while, he suddenly shouted, "I remember it!"
"Do you know each other?" Inspector Megure asked hurriedly.
Secretary Nishino nodded and replied, "I remember when I was traveling in Asia three years ago, I saw that man taking pictures of a little girl in front of a burned-down house. The girl was crying very sadly, but he continued to take pictures regardless, so I went to stop him."
"He didn't listen, we had an argument, and then I beat him up pretty good."
Everyone was silent, yet also somewhat impressed.
Secretary Nishino looks gentle and thin, but I didn't expect that he is actually a passionate young man.
Yuya smiled: "So Mr. Kankawa holds a grudge against Mr. Nishino. He deliberately showed his ring in front of everyone, and then while Mr. Nishino was taking a shower, he secretly hid his ring in Mr. Nishino's room, and then took his ballpoint pen to frame Mr. Nishino and make him the thief who stole the ring."
"In this way, Mr. Nishino will definitely be fired by Uncle Shilang, and he will achieve his goal of revenge."
"However, he didn't expect that when he returned to the room, he would run into Scott, who came to steal the ring, and he was shot dead by him."
"Since Scoobing didn't see the ring on his chest, he searched the entire room. As for the videotape, it's possible that Mr. Hanchuan accidentally captured his true face and took it away to destroy the evidence."
"This is a double case that overlapped due to coincidence!"
