After all, in the previous investigation, it was obvious that Atsushi Tabata was the murderer.
But when they arrived at the home of the identified suspect, they found that the person was already dead. This made everyone feel a little confused and eager to know what had happened.
"The unique almond flavor of cyanic acid."
Tang Ze's nose twitched slightly and he confirmed that this was their old friend who was investigating the case. The most common poison used in murders was: "He must have died of poisoning."
"Judging from the situation, it should be mainly in the cup of coffee on the table." Inspector Megure judged after looking at the things on the table.
"There's another piece of paper." Tang Ze read the contents on it, "It says [I will definitely go find Midyu - Tabata Atsushi], which looks like a suicide note."
"Find Tabata's handwriting in the house and compare it." Inspector Megure gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Takagi hurriedly looked around and finally found the words "Mifuyu" written on the calendar. After comparing, he confirmed that it was his own handwriting.
"Suicide?"
After confirming that the handwriting was consistent, Inspector Megure pondered while looking at the corpse on the table.
"Whether or not it's suicide remains to be confirmed. The most urgent thing is to find Miss Midori's body first."
When Tang Ze heard Inspector Megure start to make a conclusion, he quickly spoke up to divert everyone's attention.
Even though he hasn't seen the flaw yet, Tang Ze knows that the other party will definitely not commit suicide.
If Inspector Megure really intended to close the case as suicide, he would have to come out and talk about the discovery of the handwriting again. In order to save time, he might as well divert attention first.
"It doesn't seem to be in this room." Maori Kogoro looked around and said, "Inspector, let's go to the surrounding rooms and take a look."
After hearing what Kogoro Mouri said, Inspector Megure nodded and walked out of the living room with Takagi to search other rooms.
After looking at the corpse, Tang Ze looked around again and finally his eyes fell on the cupboard next to him.
In this cupboard, there are two layers of teacups, one layer is white with green patterns, and the other layer is filled with blue teacups and trays.
"Looking for the suitcase!"
Just as Tang Ze was looking at the missing tea set in the middle of the blue teacups on the lower layer and thinking, Takagi's words immediately attracted Tang Ze's attention. He and Conan hurriedly walked out of the living room and headed towards the bedroom.
"I'm going to open it!"
Takagi opened the buckle with a serious expression, said something to everyone, and then opened the lid of the red suitcase.
But the scene they saw made everyone stunned.
Because the suitcase was empty and there was nothing inside, let alone the miserable corpse that was expected.
"It's empty..." Gao Mu looked at the suitcase and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that I looked in the wrong suitcase? Is it another suitcase?"
"Probably not."
Tang Ze squatted down and took out a long hair from the suitcase: "This length is obviously female."
"I see!"
Before Tang Ze could make a judgment, Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, slammed his right hand against his left palm with an expression that said, "I already know what happened." "It must be Tabata who put Miss Midyu into a suitcase and left the other party's house, and then threw Miss Midyu's body away on the way!"
"Um!"
Inspector Megure nodded in agreement and said immediately, "Then let's go back and investigate whether the hair is the same as Miss Midyu's.
Takagi, start from the two men's residence and search for Miss Midyu's body!"
"Wait, something's wrong."
Hearing that Inspector Megure's arrangements seemed to be "coming to a temporary end", Tang Ze felt something was wrong.
After all, the journey was too smooth, and all the clues seemed to be leading them to this conclusion.
This made Tang Ze feel like he was "in the game".
If you notice something is wrong, you must jump out as soon as possible and not follow the pace of the person who set it up, so Tang Ze immediately interrupted Inspector Megure.
Tang Ze's words attracted everyone's attention, with curiosity in their eyes.
"Is there something wrong?" Inspector Megure asked curiously.
"There's something wrong with this suitcase appearing in this room."
Tang Ze pointed to the suitcase in front of him and said: "If Tabata Atsushi really dumped the body on the road, then why didn't he bury this suitcase as well?
After all, after the body was moved, the suitcase had become an important piece of evidence, and most people would not want to take it home.
Mr. Tabata's current actions are nothing but unnecessary."
"That's indeed the case..." Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.
"Also, the tea set Mr. Tabata used for his coffee seems to be the coffee cups he uses when entertaining guests."
Conan on the side followed Tang Ze's rhythm and spoke.
“That’s also a problem.”
Tang Ze nodded and added, "Look at the white mug in the kitchen. That seems to be the cup Mr. Tabata usually uses."
"Isn't this similar to the way some people who commit suicide choose to tidy up their appearance?"
Maori Kogoro looked nonchalant and said, "Mr. Tabata, maybe he just wants to have a cup of coffee?
As for picking up the wrong cup, if you're going to commit suicide, you won't necessarily be bound by the rules."
"But it's also possible that these traces were left by someone other than Mr. Tabata."
Tang Ze searched the cupboard as he spoke, but found no sign that the cup had been used.
