Chapter 1116 The Murderer is Known



There weren't many glass shards stuck in the meat, they were just too small.

But after a few minutes, they were all successfully pulled out.

"I'm going to take a shower."

After telling Ai, Kōyū went to the apartment bathroom for a quick shower.

There's no need to bandage a wound that would heal on its own if taken to the hospital slowly.

We don't need disinfectant or anything like that.

Therefore, Guangyou simply washed himself with hot water.

Just like soaking your feet in everyday life.

...

The Dongdu Photo Studio is right across from the apartment building.

The distance between the two is only about 100 meters.

Soon, Karata Keisen and Negami Yoshihiko, whom they had met during the day, arrived at the apartment.

Both men were surprised to hear that Tokusho Komura had been attacked.

"Is Gu Cun alright?" Tang Tianjing asked. "Who did this?"

"He is receiving emergency treatment and is alright for now."

The suspects are currently narrowed down to these two people in front of us.

Therefore, Inspector Megure put away his nice-natured demeanor and looked at them seriously.

He observed their expressions and replied simultaneously:

As for who the murderer is...

"I think we'll know after I finish asking you all the questions."

The meaning of this statement is already quite clear.

Neither of them were stupid.

Everyone knows that the police now suspect one of the two of them is the murderer.

Their expressions changed.

But only the two of them know what they are really thinking.

Then came the usual questioning.

For example, where and what happened at the time of the incident, and whether there is an alibi.

Colorist Keizen Karata said he would rest in the lounge after finishing his part of the work.

There were a few other people in the lounge at the time.

However, since everyone was resting, he did not have an alibi.

Yoshihiko Negami, the developing engineer, was alone in the darkroom examining the negatives.

There was also no alibi.

The reason they had the key was quite simple.

To make it easier to play mahjong.

Those who finish their work first can come to the apartment to prepare.

This way, once the others have finished their work, we can start playing immediately.

In order to clear himself of suspicion, Tang Tianjingshan said:

"But there's a chance that we're not the only ones with the keys to this apartment."

Yoshihiko Negami chimed in from the side:

"Because he has other mahjong friends."

Worried that people might not understand, Yoshihiko Negami further explained the meaning of the word "mahyu":

"Mahjong friends are partners who play mahjong together."

Upon hearing this, Hojima Akira said:

"But I only gave the key to Mr. Karata, Mr. Negami, and Mr. Furumura."

After nodding to indicate that he understood, Inspector Megure said:

"If you come to this apartment often, you're very likely to remember how it's laid out."

Takagi Wataru, standing next to Inspector Megure, also provided timely additional information:

"As long as you remember the layout of the apartment, you can move around freely even in the dark."

Just then, Conan suddenly turned off the living room lights.

The light suddenly disappeared, and the human eye had not yet adapted to the dim environment.

This caused everyone in the living room to suddenly lose their sense of direction and be unable to see their surroundings.

After turning off the lights, Conan glanced around the living room and then said:

"But this room is really dark."

"After drawing the curtains, it's basically pitch black."

"Smack!"

The light switch was turned on by Yoshihiko Negami.

He bent down and said to Conan:

"Little friend, you can't do that."

"It will affect the police officer."

Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi, who were already used to Conan, didn't pay any attention to the act of turning off the lights.

They thought Conan was right.

After surveying the messy living room, Inspector Megure finally spoke:

"But it's true, just like Conan said."

"Even if you're very familiar with something, you'd still bump into it in that situation."

"Yeah, it's really dark after you turn it off," Ayumi and the other two chimed in.

Seeing that everyone was talking about this issue, Hojima Akira spoke up to explain:

"Mainly because I'm used to watching movies in this kind of environment."

"I get easily distracted if there is light."

"So we specially installed blackout curtains."

"Even the indicator lights on the TV, DVD player, and VCR seem very bright to me."

"I've always covered it with something."

Everyone glanced at these items.

Indeed, an obstruction was found at the location of the indicator light.

This is a personal habit, and no one commented on it.

Just then, Inspector Megure felt someone tug at his sleeve.

Looking down, I saw it was Guangyou.

Seeing that Guangyou gestured for him to come closer, he bent down and asked in a low voice:

"Kuangyou, what's wrong?"

Although he complained that Kogoro Mouri was a jinx.

However, it must be admitted that the Mori family is very capable of solving cases.

No matter how difficult the case, the plague...

No, even Kogoro Mouri can handle it smoothly.

But why didn't we discover that Kogoro Mouri had this ability before?

He used to be Kogoro Mouri's boss.

At that time, Kogoro Mouri was not weak; in fact, he could be considered very strong.

Especially marksmanship and judo.

But the reasoning wasn't as strong as it is now.

Perhaps he suddenly had a breakthrough while working as a private investigator?

Who knows?

Anyway, he figured it was probably because of Kogoro Mouri.
