"I think that's right. I'm afraid that when Mr. Ebihara was attacked, his arm happened to hit the tiger porcelain, which caused it to break into pieces." Kogoro Mori speculated.
Although Kogoro Mori's speculation was very reasonable, Karasawa didn't listen to it at all.
Because of Kogoro Mori's reasoning...those who understand will understand.
After taking a preliminary look at the scene, he also found some inconsistencies in the scene.
In addition to the dart in the deceased's heart, there was another dart dropped in the corner far away from the body.
But the distance between the dart board and the deceased's body was too far. Even if the dart board fell, it should not be possible for the darts to fall so far.
Moreover, the man named Masao Noda, who was in the same room with Kogoro Mouri at the time of the incident, is also a major suspect.
Kogoro Mouri did not see the other party take action with his own eyes, he just heard everything, and there was too much room for the trajectory to be implemented.
"Mr. Noda, when Detective Maori arrived at this store, you were sleeping inside the store the entire time?" Tang Ze looked at the man and asked, "You didn't sense any movement from outside?"
"You know, putting a hot towel on your face makes you relax easily, and I fell asleep without realizing it," Noda Masao answered honestly. "To be honest, I didn't even realize Mr. Mori had arrived until that loud noise woke me up."
"Then, Brother Mori, around what time did you come here?" After hearing what Noda Masao said, Inspector Megure turned his head and asked Kogoro Mori.
"this..."
Maori Kogoro scratched his head with an embarrassed expression and said, "At that time, I was walking along the street looking for a barber shop, so the time was very vague and I didn't know the time.
But the only thing I can be sure of is that the incident happened just a few minutes after I lay down."
"Police received the call at 6:36 p.m."
Gao Mu, holding a notebook, speculated: "If it happened shortly after entering the store, it must have been around 6:30."
"What about you, Mr. Noda?" Tang Ze looked at Noda Masao and asked, "When did you enter this store?"
"I arrived around 6:20," Noda said. "But maybe because I was too exhausted from work, I was very sleepy and fell asleep as soon as I lay down."
"So, at the time of the incident, you two were the only ones in this barber shop?" Tang Ze said.
"That's right. The swimming pool shuttle bus was parked on the road opposite the store entrance, and the parents did not see any suspicious people entering or leaving the barber shop." said Kogoro Mouri.
"I didn't see anyone coming out of the store when I came here." Conan added, "Genta and the other two were playing in the open space, and they didn't see anyone either."
"So, the criminal didn't come near the room?" Inspector Megure pondered after hearing this.
"Based on my speculation, I think the perpetrator may have killed Manager Ebihara by throwing a dart into the store from a distance."
Pulling at the window, Kogoro Mouri made what he thought was a reasonable guess.
"Outside?" Officer Megure asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"It's not impossible."
Maori Kogoro said: "The swimming shuttle bus was playing loud music at that time.
To be honest, the volume was so loud that it was almost no different from noise. I think Manager Ebihara was planning to complain to them, so he opened the window.
And the criminal took advantage of the moment when the store manager Ebihara was standing outside the window and threw a dart at him, right?"
"I think that's it."
Maori Kogoro swore, "I'm afraid the criminal is hiding in the alley in front of the store and waiting for the opportunity.
The alleyway directly opposite the shop is only about four meters away from here, so even a dart can hit it from such a short distance."
"The forensic doctor also said that there seemed to be traces of poison on the tip of the dart."
Takagi, who was standing by, added, "That means the criminal didn't need to hit the vital parts deliberately. He only needed to injure him to kill Mr. Ebihara."
"Well, that's a strong possibility, but there are also some inconsistencies in the scene."
Seeing that his reasoning was about to go astray as Maori Kogoro's, Tang Ze quickly spoke to attract everyone's attention: "Look, Mr. Ebihara obviously has hair, but why is he wearing a wig?"
"Indeed, his hair is very thick, and he doesn't look like he needs a wig at all." Inspector Megure nodded in agreement, then looked at Noda Masao and said, "What do you think, Mr. Noda?"
"Well...if you ask me...I don't know either." Noda Masao stuttered.
This seemed to be a stuttering due to not knowing how to answer, but in Tang Ze's opinion it was a manifestation of guilt. Considering the function of the wig, Tang Ze already had a preliminary idea.
"By the way, there's something strange about Manager Ebihara's shirt." Inspector Megure looked at the blue T-shirt worn by the deceased and felt something was strange.
The pattern of this T-shirt is simple, just plain English letters, but there is a black peach heart on the chest, and two enlarged hearts around it.
It looked like a target, and the deadly dart hit the center of the smallest spade precisely, where the heart of the deceased was.
"Ah, that T-shirt is the uniform given to members by the dart club in this area." Noda Masao explained.
