Chapter 211: Not suicide but murder? Vermouth: I found you
Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh. The detective appeared, and it looked like there would be another murder case tonight.
Why do these people like to act on their own and run around the scene?
Brother Kamiya is the best. He knows how to cooperate with the police (Conan: You mean he directed the police officers at the scene to cooperate with him in investigating the case without any scruples?).
It’s the first day that Brother Kamiya is away. I miss him.
But now the more important thing is to investigate the case, so Inspector Megure asked, "So, when you came, was the door locked?"
Hattori Heiji said: "Yes, the door was locked when we came up."
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "He was the only one in the room, so it must be a locked room. So he really committed suicide?"
Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and said solemnly: "We thought so at first, but..."
He took Inspector Megure to Takai's bedroom and pointed to the open window above the bed and said, "After seeing this open window, I no longer think so."
Inspector Megure looked at the window, climbed onto the bed and looked out, confirming that Takai fell from here.
"Any questions?"
Hattori Heiji pointed at the curtain track and said, "Look carefully, this curtain track has obviously been pulled by someone, right? Even a few hooks have fallen off."
"Doesn't this mean that he grabbed the curtain when he fell? Do you think a person who wants to commit suicide would do something like this?"
Inspector Megure's face changed drastically: "This is not suicide, but..."
"murder!" Judy suddenly blurted out an English word.
Everyone turned around and looked at her in surprise.
"This is a murder case!" Judy suddenly revealed a deep smile.
"Teacher Judy..." Inspector Megure was a little stunned. Why are you stealing my lines?
"Oh!" Judy said suddenly with excitement, "I guess this must be the kind of murder case in a locked room in the movie!"
Inspector Megure was speechless. Seeing her deep look just now, he thought she had discovered something, but it turned out that she was imitating a scene in a movie?
"By the way, Teacher Judy, why are you here too?" Inspector Megure said with hollow eyes. He had wanted to ask this question since just now.
Conan and Hattori Heiji are fine, he's more or less used to it, but Judy is a teacher...isn't she satisfied with just playing video games anymore and has started to like learning detective skills and solving cases?
"Oh! That's because my house is next door!" Judy explained.
"Is that so?" Inspector Megure rolled his eyes.
Judy continued, "Conan and his friends came to play with me today. We were going to go out for dinner, but just as we walked out of the building, Mr. Takai fell down. Is that right?"
"Oh! Yesyes!" Hattori Heiji imitated Judy and spoke English with a strange accent.
Conan rolled his eyes and smiled with a twitching mouth.
Inspector Megure was speechless. He was wondering where these three people came from, but it turned out they had been there from the beginning.
He looked at Conan with sympathy. Could it be that this kid, at such a young age, has developed the same event-prone physique as his brothers Mori and Kamiya?
Oh no, it might have spread to Hattori.
Oh! The future of public security in Mihua is worrying!
Conan: ??? Why does he feel that there is something wrong with the way Inspector Megure looks at him?
"So, have you figured out the method of the locked room?" asked Inspector Megure.
"No, I have no idea." Hattori Heiji said confidently, "I only know that this case may be related to the strange marks on the window glass. It looks like it was hit by something from outside."
Inspector Megure rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "Didn't you just say that the investigation was complete? If Brother Kamiya were here, he would have found the murderer by now, right?"
Hattori Heiji:...I feel offended.
Conan: Although Yuya is fast at solving cases, he is not that fast... He subconsciously imagined what would happen if Yuya was here, and well, the scene of "If not..." was already in his mind.
And the visuals are very strong.
At this time, Chiba walked in with a stack of photos.
"Inspector, the photos taken by Ms. Xia Tian have been developed, and there is a suspicious figure in one of them."
"Oh! Let me see." Inspector Megure took the photos. The top one was the suspicious photo that Chiba mentioned.
"Isn't this Mr. Takai?" Inspector Megure exclaimed.
In the photo, Gao Jing, wearing red clothes, was photographed hanging by the window, holding the curtain tightly with one hand.
Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement: "See, I said he grabbed the curtains."
Judy looked at another photo and said, "Oh, it looks like he threw something out of the room?"
Conan was held by the collar by Hattori Heiji and also saw the photo: "It should be a mobile phone."
"So, the marks on the glass were left by the phone hitting it?" Hattori Heiji suddenly realized, but at the same time he was a little confused, "Why did you throw the phone away?"
Judy tentatively guessed: "Maybe he saw some unpleasant information? For example, Mr. Nakamachi..."
Three people were chattering in Inspector Megure's ear, making him feel overwhelmed. He couldn't help but yell, "Enough! Just leave the investigation of the case to the police, get out of here!"
Three people were kicked out.
Judy spread her hands helplessly: "This person really likes to get angry!"
Hattori Heiji complained in the same dissatisfaction: "What? We are just trying to help you out of kindness!"
Judy suddenly spoke up with a confused expression on her face: "Obviously, when cool boy is investigating a case at the scene, the police won't be like this. Instead, they are very cooperative with him. It's really strange. Do you know why, cool kid?"
Conan laughed dryly: "Well, I don't know either. Maybe Brother Yuya is more famous..."
Judy suddenly realized: "Oh yes! I often read in the newspapers that he is a famous detective with a 100% crime-solving rate! He is amazing!"
Conan's mouth twitched slightly. I am 100% sure about solving the case, okay?
Oh, that was broken by Kudo Shinichi, and has nothing to do with Edogawa Conan.
Okay, that’s okay.
······
at the same time
Vermouth returned to the Shinchu Clinic and hung a sign on the door saying it was closed for the day. Then she sent a message to her assistant telling her that she didn't need to be on duty that night. After making sure that all the doors and windows were locked and the curtains were drawn, Vermouth came to a small room at the innermost part.
There are several photos on the walls of the room.
The first column is:
————Mauri Lan——
——Kudo Shinichi——Conan——
Second column:
——Miyano Shiho——Akai Shuichi——
Third column:
——Kamiya Yuya——Amagura Mio (Miyano Shiho)——Acangaku (Miyano Akemi)——
Vermouth held a lady's cigarette in her mouth, and a light smoke spread out, enveloping her head.
When she took off her disguise, she revealed a beautiful face, but unfortunately, whether it was because she had been wearing a disguise mask for a long time or for some other reason, her face looked a little sickly pale.
She squinted her eyes and looked through the smoke at Miyano Shiho in the second row, with a big cross drawn on her name with a black marker.
He picked up the marker from the table, his eyes fell on the photo of Amakura Mio, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to draw a big cross on it.
Then he threw the pen on the table.
The marker rolled a few times and stopped in front of a transparent file bag.
Inside the file bag, there was a small transparent plastic bag containing several pieces of film similar to tape, on which you could vaguely see a few incomplete fingerprints; and underneath the small plastic bag, there were several identification reports.
At the very front of the report was a personal profile, and the photo on it was of Shirley!
Suddenly a hand reached out and took the file bag away.
Along with the footsteps, the sound of paper shredding was heard, all the way to the bathroom.
Finally, there was the sound of flushing water and a cold, pleasurable voice.
"Got you."
