Chapter 513 The Master Hanging in the Air

Chapter 513 The Master Hanging in the Air

A year had passed and no useful clues were found in the swimming pool, so everyone took the opportunity to return to the living room.

When Mrs. Okudaira heard that Hondou Eisuke had fallen, she quickly found a sweater for him to change into.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the only clothes in my house that fit me are those left by Kanogo."

Hondou Eisuke hurriedly thanked him. It was he who fell accidentally, and now he had to trouble others.

Conan looked up and down at the sweater on Hondou Eisuke. It was a sweater for an adult, but it was just right for Hondou Eisuke, who was still growing. So he asked, "Mr. Kanogo is considered small, right?"

Hondou Eisuke pulled the clothes and said affirmatively: "Indeed, the clothes are a little loose, but overall they fit just right."

Mrs. Aoping smiled and said, "Yes, but you can't say he's skinny. He exercises regularly. That should be called muscle. My son has six-pack abs!"

"Hey, so amazing!"

Miyano Shiho didn't know what she was thinking, she secretly glanced at Yuya's abdomen, six pack abs were nothing, Yuya had eight! That felt...

Youya was keenly aware of her gaze and smiled at her.

Miyano Shiho's ears turned red and she quickly looked away.

At this time, Kikuyo opened the door and walked in.

"I've put your clothes in the washing machine. I'll pack them for you when they're done. Please wait a moment."

Hondou Eisuke quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your help."

Mrs. Okudaira asked, "Kikuyo, I didn't see any coffee when I went to the kitchen. Eiyou needs something hot after being caught in the rain, or he might catch a cold."

Ju's expression was still stinky, but her tone was a little confused: "No? I clearly put it in the coffee machine when I went out to buy groceries?"

The butler happened to pass by the door, and Mrs. Auping asked him if he had seen the coffee.

The housekeeper said he didn't see it either.

Kikuyo speculated, "Could it be that the master waited too long, so he went to get it himself?"

"Maybe..."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from upstairs.

Mrs. Aoping was startled: "What was that sound just now?"

The housekeeper said, "It seems to be coming from the master's study?"

Kikuyo quickly said, "I'll go over and take a look!"

"Please."

The two hurried to the study.

Maori Kogoro laughed and said, "That sound, could it be that the big vase just broke?"

Hondou Eisuke quickly denied: "That's impossible. That's the vase that Uncle Kakuzo has always treasured. It's worth 50 million!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyebrows jumped, and he thought to himself that it was a good thing that Yuya caught the vase in time, otherwise how many commissions would he have to take to be able to afford the compensation of 50 million?

Thinking of this, he looked at Yuya with relief, and then looked at Miyano Shiho with some regret.

Yuya & Miyano Shiho:? ? ?

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside, and the few people who were a little less courageous were frightened by the sudden attack.

At the same time, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the room suddenly became dark.

"The power outage? Is it because of the thunder?" Mao Lilan asked with some concern.

Before Conan could comfort her, a scream suddenly sounded in the darkness. Faintly, one could hear something like "Don't open it!" The voice was full of fear of death.

This voice was so familiar that Mrs. Aoping was shocked: "That voice just now seemed to be...Master?"

Yuya, Conan, and Maori Kogoro ran out of the living room at the same time and ran towards the study.

When they arrived at the door of the study, the butler and Kikuyo were standing there blankly, and through the gap between the two of them, they could see a fat figure hanging in the middle of the room, swaying back and forth.

Mrs. Oping also ran over. When she saw the figure, she recognized it as her husband and ran into the room crying.

"Madam, be careful, there are broken vase pieces on the floor..."

Kikuyo tried to stop her in a hurry, but she couldn't see clearly in the dark. Mrs. Aoping accidentally stepped on something and fell to the ground with Kikuyo.

The housekeeper immediately asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" He couldn't see clearly in the dark, and he didn't dare to walk around.

"No, it should be fine." Kikuyo responded while enduring the pain.

At this time, the lights in the room were restored. Kikuyo was lying on the ground with Mrs. Okuda protecting them. There were several books scattered around them, and there was a very large book near the door.

"Uncle Kogoro, come and help!" Youya shouted loudly, avoiding the debris on the ground and ran to Okuhei Kakuzo, then stood up and tried to untie the rope around his neck.

Kogoro Mori helped from below and tried his best to drag Okuhei Kakuzo's body.

Yuya discovered that the knot in the rope was coated with adhesive, and it took him a lot of effort to untie it. The two of them laid Aoheikakuzang flat on the ground.

"Mio, come over here and take a look!"

"Xiaolan called the police and an ambulance!"

Mao Lilan immediately took out her cell phone and started her usual work.

Miyano Shiho ran over, squatted down and checked, and said anxiously: "The neck is seriously injured, we need to send him to the hospital immediately!"

···

The hardworking Inspector Megure arrived with his men and saw several familiar faces at a glance.

"Brother Mori, brother Kamiya, you are all here." Inspector Megure greeted them with empty eyes.

Well, with these two people here, there must be another murder today.

But I should be able to get off work earlier.

Takagi Wataru hung up the phone and said to Mrs. Okudaira with a heavy expression: "I'm sorry, your husband died on the way to the hospital..."

"How could it be!" Mrs. Aoping covered her face and burst into tears. The housekeeper hurriedly searched his pockets for a handkerchief.

Kikuyo still had a stinky expression on her face. She handed the tissue box to Mrs. Okudaira and said, "Madam..."

"Thank you." Mrs. Aoping took a tissue, wiped her tears, and blew her nose.

Kikuyo took the used tissue and put it into her left pocket.

Takagi Shigeru took out the manual and began his routine questioning.

The first people to discover the Okuhei Kakuzo were Kikuyo and the butler.

The housekeeper said, "We heard the sound of something breaking in the study, so we ran over and knocked on the door to check what was going on, but the master didn't respond."

Kikuyo added: "I tried to turn the door lock, and the master suddenly shouted from inside, 'Don't open it.'"

"Hmm," Inspector Megure's expression froze, "So did you open the door?"

Without even thinking, Kikuyo answered, "Of course I opened it, because I was worried that something might happen to the master in there."

The butler continued: "After the door was opened, we saw the master's body hanging in the air..."

Inspector Megure frowned slightly: "In other words, Mr. Okudaira hanged himself before you opened the door, right?"

Kikuyo nodded affirmatively: "That should be correct. The master's body was still shaking at that time."

Inspector Megure pondered and said, "The windows of the room are also locked. The only entrance is this door. For the time being, we can only regard this incident as a suicide..."

"That's not right, Inspector Megure." Yuya suddenly said, "This is not suicide, but a clear murder!"

"What?" Inspector Megure looked at Yuya in surprise, "Brother Kamiya, did you find anything?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "Ah, for now there are some."
