Chapter 743 Accidental Death



Someone is dead.

That's right, when Tang Ze heard the last words of the employee who was rolling and screaming, he knew his plan, no, his actions were still too slow.

He still failed to stop the case within the limited time.

This was caused by insufficient intelligence. After all, it was too difficult to find any clues about the case when you were completely in the dark.

Everything has been so peaceful since we arrived at the studio, and there is no sign of any contradiction at all.

Since he couldn't identify the potential criminals and victims, Tang Ze naturally had no idea where to start.

But now is not the time to regret. Karasawa, along with Naoki Kamii and Kogoro Mori, quickly found the director.

Under the guidance of Karasawa and Mori Kogoro, the riot was quelled very quickly. With the cooperation of the director, they came forward to control the situation and suspended the recording.

When the group, led by the director, headed to the crime scene, Tang Ze almost vomited as soon as he entered the door of the crime scene.

It stinks.

Tang Ze's super sense of smell was originally activated because of the case, but the pungent smell made Tang Ze retch twice and then quickly pinched his nose.

"It stinks, what the hell is this?"

Kogoro Mouri also smelled the odor after entering the door. After searching the room, he finally saw the source of the odor near the corpse.

"Dried horse mackerel!? No wonder it stinks!!" Kogoro Mouri pinched his nose, his expression distorted and ugly.

The crime scene was already repulsive enough, and then there was this stench...

It's just a torture...

Salted round dried scad is one of Neon’s traditional delicacies. Although it smells bad, it is said to taste very similar to caviar.

How should I put it, this thing is something like stinky tofu and soy milk. Those who like it will like it very much, but those who are not used to it will think it is a dark dish.

"Why is there something like dried horse mackerel here..." Conan, who was standing next to him, also had a distorted expression on his face while holding a handkerchief to cover his nose. It was obvious that he was also very resistant to this kind of thing.

"It's a specialty that Minaoka brought back when he went to Hachijo Island." The director answered with some difficulty, pinching his nose.

"Come out first and talk later."

Tang Ze pinched his nose and greeted him, then walked straight out the door.

After asking the director, Tang Ze and others also roughly understood the basic cleaning of the deceased.

Masashi Minaoka, 32 years old, is a staff member of the logistics props team.

The crime scene is his workplace. All the costumes and props are usually piled here. He is responsible for managing these clothes and finding them when needed.

The other person is popular and has no conflicts with anyone in the workplace. He even brought back some salty round dried horse mackerel for everyone when he went to Hachijo Island on vacation.

And what was scattered on the ground was his own share.

After roughly understanding the situation, Tang Ze called on Naoki Kamii to ask the people around him about the situation.

He and Kogoro Mouri controlled the scene together, and then contacted the Metropolitan Police Department to ask Takagi to bring his men over.

Well, I also specifically told them to bring masks.

After doing all this, Karasawa and Maori Kogoro returned to the crime scene to examine the body while covering their noses with handkerchiefs.

"This injury doesn't look like it was caused by a blow."

Maori Kogoro covered his nose and examined the body before saying, "The deceased was about 1.75 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 kilograms. Even a simple fall would have had a great impact.

Not only that, there are some bloodstains near the deceased's ear and temple, and there are also bloodstains on the iron corner of the prop box next to him. It is very likely that he died accidentally after slipping and falling..."

After looking at the body, Kogoro Mouri expressed his judgment and successfully helped Karasawa rule out the possibility of an accident.

Well, although this judgment is extremely insulting, it is the truth whether you admit it or not...

The death of the deceased Masashi Minaoka was also very strange.

It seemed that there was no reason for him to be killed, but such an ordinary person died. This made Tang Ze a little confused for a while. At least he couldn't even find a suspect now.

Without contradictions, there is naturally no motivation. This is a natural thing.

Therefore, the first investigation of Tang Ze and his team was to investigate the reasons why the deceased Masashi Minaoka might have been murdered.

After the two men finished examining the body, Naoki Kamii came over with a notebook in his hand.

"Did you find anything?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly after seeing Naoki Kamii.

"I asked people around and found the last person who saw the deceased."

Naoki Kamii reported from his notebook, "The last person to see the deceased was a seamstress who came here to work. She said that she had delivered the finished costumes and some props here about fifteen minutes ago.

In addition, I also met the comedian duo "Dad Partner" in the corridor. According to them, they had been rehearsing jokes in the corridor about twenty minutes ago.

During this time, the two of them did not seem to see anyone other than the seamstress entering or leaving the room.

"Well...even though there are witnesses guarding the door, we can't completely trust their testimony."

Tang Ze touched his chin and said, "After all, the two of them were practicing. Maybe they overlooked the criminal while concentrating their attention."

"I've considered that as well."

Naoki Kamii added, "However, according to the two, their concentration was actually very poor, and they swore that they absolutely did not ignore the situation outside. If anyone passed through there, they would definitely notice it."

"Is there anything else worth noting?" Kogoro Mouri asked again after listening to Naoki Kamii's report.

"By the way, I also met three delivery men while I was questioning them."

Naoki Kamii said: "After asking, I learned that these takeouts seemed to be ordered by the deceased."

"Three of you? This is a bit strange." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"This is because the deceased placed orders with three stores at once." Naoki Kamii reported truthfully.

"Given the deceased's physique, it's normal for him to have such an astonishing appetite."

Maori Kogoro stroked his mustache and seemed unconcerned: "If I could eat so much, I would definitely choose a wider variety of food instead of just eating one all-you-can-eat."

"But the deceased was just an ordinary employee. It's a bit too extravagant to order three restaurants at once." Conan also raised an objection from another perspective.

"Humph, what are you butting in about, little kid?"

Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, punched Conan immediately after hearing this: "People like this simply can't control their appetite. It's normal for them to indulge occasionally!!"

Without waiting for Conan to speak, Mouri Kogoro grabbed Conan's collar and threw him out.
