When the sirens flash red and start to sound over Tokyo, it means that something has happened. When the sirens flash red and start to sound over Tokyo, it means that something has happened.
The sound that suddenly appeared in the ear and reached its peak suddenly faded away in the ears of passers-by, revealing the speed of the vehicle from the side.
The red whirlwind was speeding and whistling on the road, and the passing vehicles unconsciously moved to the sides to make way for it.
Although the siren was part of the reason, Tang Ze, who was sitting in the car, felt that it was more likely because other car owners were still concerned about their own lives and did not want to seek excitement.
After arriving at the scene of the crime, Tang Ze looked at the combination of uncle, JK and shota in front of him without any ripples in his heart. Instead, he had an expression as if it was a matter of course.
That’s right, among the parties involved in the crime scene were Kogoro Mouri and three others!
"Mori-san, why are you here too?" Officer Takagi saw Maori Kogoro and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Could it be Maori-san who called the police?"
"It's me," Maori Kogoro said solemnly, "I was invited to visit Mr. Kusaka's home today. Mr. Kusaka went to the sake cellar to select some wine, but he didn't come back for a long time. My wife and I went to look for him, but when we arrived at the basement, we found that he had been brutally murdered."
Tang Ze on the side drooped his eyes when he heard this. He laughed inwardly, "Why did this happen? Don't you have any AC sense?"
After arriving at the scene, Tang Ze first observed the scene and then called Xiaolan and Conan to ask about the situation before the incident.
As for why it's not Maori Kogoro...
Needless to say, this person was also drinking and didn't pay attention to anything else.
On the contrary, Conan and Xiaolan, who can easily obtain information through casual conversation, are more worth asking.
So, with Xiaolan's main narration and Conan's supplementary introduction, Tang Ze also roughly understood the ins and outs of the case, as well as the situation of the other four suspects besides Conan and the other three.
First was Mrs. Kusaka, who did not attend the cocktail party but was in the kitchen preparing food for everyone.
But if the kitchen wants to go out, it must pass through the living room where Mouri Kogoro is drinking. Conan and Xiaolan have been hearing noises coming from the kitchen, so they can basically rule out the wife.
What is of some concern are the other three guests.
All three of them had financial dealings with the deceased Kusaka. Conan had previously heard from Sotomura Jyoukichi that all three of them had borrowed money from Kusaka. It can be said that all three of them had motives to kill.
The first one is Mr. Nonaka, who wears glasses and has a bald head with only a few pitiful hairs on it. He owed a huge gambling debt, so he asked Mr. Kusaka for a loan.
And Sotomura Jōkichi borrowed money from Mr. Kusaka in order to become a sommelier.
As for the only female among the three, Ms. Takano, she borrowed money from Mr. Kusaka to tide over the difficulties because of the recent economic downturn and poor management of the gallery, which led to poor cash flow.
As for why Mr. Kusaka died in the wine cellar, it was caused by what happened during their previous wine tasting conference.
Before the wine tasting, the deceased Kusaka said that as long as Mr. Sotomura could guess all the types of wine, he would agree to his request, so Sotomura Jikichi accepted the challenge.
During the tasting process, Sotomura Jōkichi guessed the wines selected by Mr. Kusaka one by one. Then, amid everyone's praise, Mr. Kusaka, who couldn't stand losing, became a little angry when he heard the praise from Ms. Takano and the others.
After sneering that he shouldn't use such basic wine to test the outside village, he angrily went to his most treasured wine cellar to select his most precious wine.
Seeing that Mr. Kusaka went to the most valuable wine cellar to select wine, Sotomura Jyokichi, who had exhausted a lot of energy after tasting a lot of wine, suggested that everyone take a break and leave the table.
Mr. Nonaka stood up and went for a walk outside, enjoying the evening breeze to sober up.
As for Miss Kono, after the two left, she went to the dressing room, leaving only Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan staying where they were.
And just when Kogoro Mouri was chewing on the peony and drinking red wine, he didn't realize anything.
Mr. Nonaka came back from enjoying the evening breeze and saw that Mr. Kusaka was still not in the living room. He asked Kogoro Mori and others in surprise.
Later, everyone realized that Mr. Kusaka had been in the wine cellar for a total of forty minutes.
Just as Kogoro Mori and others were surprised, Mrs. Kusaka came out of the kitchen and wanted to look for her husband.
After explaining the situation, Mrs. Kusaka planned to go to the wine cellar to find Mr. Kusaka, and Kogoro Mori was a little worried, so he also went to the wine cellar.
But when they went down the stairs and came to the door of the wine cellar storage room, and looked at the scene inside the wine cellar through the vertical rectangular transparent prism in the middle of the door, they saw Mr. Kusaka lying directly on the ground between the wine cabinets, with several broken red wine bottles around him.
On the ground, there was a red liquid flowing, which was not sure whether it was blood or wine.
The wine cellar was completely sealed at that time, and the door was only opened after the lady brought the key before everyone could enter the cellar.
After checking, the only window was found to be closed, which meant that the entire room was a secret room!
After listening to Xiaolan and Conan's description of the situation before the incident, Tang Ze held his forehead helplessly.
This Nima...
The locked room murder case, the classic three-choice case, is really the most classic routine in Conan's plot...
After three seconds of silence for the unlucky guy who invited Kogoro Mori, Tang Ze focused on his work.
After all, no matter how much you complain, you still have to do your business.
When it came to the crime scene, the first thing that caught Tang Ze's attention was the somewhat strange posture of the corpse.
This was Tang Ze’s first reaction when he saw the other person’s body.
Because the other person's posture can no longer be described as awkward, it can only be described as weird.
Although the deceased's head and shoulders were slightly leaning against the bottom layer of the wine cabinet, he basically died lying down.
But this lying directly does not mean lying straight on the ground, but kneeling on both knees, then leaning the body back with the head resting on the bottom layer of the wine cabinet, which is an awkward posture.
Take the various ways of dying in movies as an example. Generally, people either lie back directly after dying, or crawl forward.
The villain with more scenes whose neck is cut will kneel down and then crawl forward.
But after kneeling down...
Emmm…I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.
How to say it, this posture is really weird, especially for men.
Duck sitting.
I believe that the two-dimensional wives that everyone here likes often appear in pictures in this pose.
Although it may seem like a simple position, it is actually quite scary for men. Many men who don’t believe in it have even ended up with broken bones. (Really, don’t try it!)
But the deceased maintained this posture after death!
