As expected, the first thing everyone saw was Guangkun shaking Shibata Shiro who was lying on the ground. Conan and Uncle Mori rushed to Shiro's side.
At this moment, Conan noticed that Shibata Shiro, who was lying on the ground, was holding something in his hand. He very professionally used his white handkerchief to take the thing out of Shiro's hand.
Upon opening it, Conan's pupils constricted sharply. The reason was that it was a photograph, and the person in the photograph was none other than Shizuka Ikenami, or more precisely, a photograph of Shizuka Ikenami holding a commemorative plaque from twenty years ago.
As Kyoko Shibata passed by Kosuke, he suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent, as if he had just smelled it before, but he couldn't quite place it.
The police arrived quickly. The officer in charge of the case was Coral Head Yokomizo. He first routinely inquired about the details. When Shibata Kyoko and Hiroko stood together, Kōyū finally understood what the smell he had just experienced was.
“It’s the smell of perfume.” Kwang-woo took a deep breath. “Floral, probably an 8% to 15% perfume version of No. 5. Both of them have it.”
Guangyou couldn't help but laugh out loud, "To get by in life, you have to wear a green hat."
Guangyou would never believe that these two didn't have a romantic relationship. You know, perfumes containing this much fragrance are called eau de toilette. If you can get such a strong scent without much contact, then Guangkun must also wear this kind of women's perfume regularly.
“Interesting, I love this kind of plot.” Guangyou glanced at Guangkun standing at the door, then turned to Xiaolan and said, “Uncle, I’m going out to play now.”
Uncle Mori said with satisfaction, "Well, be careful on the road. It's the right choice to keep children out of places like this."
"Unlike that arrogant brat with glasses."
Conan, who was deep in thought at that moment, sighed, "Why am I getting dragged into this again?"
After greeting Guangyou, he walked towards the door. When he passed Guangkun, he paused slightly, flashed his hand, and then pushed open the door and went out.
After closing the door, Guangyou smiled as he looked at the bunch of keys in his hand, then walked towards Guangkun's room and successfully opened the door with the key.
The apartments are laid out similarly, with a shoe cabinet in the entryway. The only difference between Shibata Shiro's house and Guangkun's house is that Shibata Shiro's room is on the right side, while Guangkun's is on the left.
It looks plain and short-lived, the most conspicuous thing is the cards, mahjong and other items that can be seen everywhere, and there is a cheap smell of cigarettes in the air.
Guangyou frowned. The burly men at the card table often smoked, perhaps to relieve the frustration of losing. In any case, he didn't like the smell.
"This looks like an illegal casino?"
Guangyou saw many tables in the room, with not much space between them, which was obviously a measure taken to accommodate more tables.
After searching the living room, I found nothing except for a lot of cards, mahjong sets and other tools in the cabinet.
As he entered the bedroom, the nauseating smell of cheap cigarettes became even stronger. Guangyou covered his nose, searched around, and found a lottery ticket under his pillow.
In addition, Guangyou found a piece of women's underwear and then laughed, "Is this solid proof?"
Next, Guangyou opened the wardrobe, and sure enough, there were even more interesting things inside, all kinds of clothes, such as protective suits and blazers, it was all there.
"This Guangkun is quite the character," Guangyou couldn't help but laugh, never expecting Guangkun to be so playful.
After carefully examining the date on the lottery ticket, Kōyū discovered that this ticket was from the same draw as the winning ticket that Uncle Mori had given him.
Guangyou checked the winning numbers again this time, so he remembered them quite clearly. This lottery ticket also won, but it was a world of difference compared to Uncle Mori's ticket.
Guangkun's lottery ticket was the grand prize in that draw, while Uncle Maoli only won the fifth prize; the difference in money between them was huge.
At this point, Kōsuke also had a bold guess in his mind, but it was just a guess and could not be taken as evidence under the current circumstances. Afterwards, Kōsuke prepared to go to Shibata Shirō's house to look for clues to prove his guess.
As soon as they pushed open the door to Guangkun's house, they saw a police officer rushing into Shibata Shiro's house. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Officer Yokomizo, we found something with bloodstains that we suspect is the murder weapon!"
"We found the knife on the nearby emergency staircase," the officer added.
Yokomizo nodded, indicating that he understood the information. He then instructed the police officer to send the knife for testing, before turning to ask Kyoko Shibata, "Mrs. Shibata, do you have a wooden sword in your home?"
"Yes, it's been sitting on the shoe cabinet. My husband prepared it to scare away persistent salesmen," Kyoko Shibata answered truthfully.
Kōyū entered the room, passing by the group and going straight to the bedroom, bypassing Conan. He locked the door after entering to avoid being seen and misunderstood as a child as young as Kōyū being misbehaving.
He opened the wardrobe, picked up a piece of underwear, and nodded repeatedly. The size was the same. Guangkun lived alone. Unless he was a pervert, it was impossible for him to hide a piece of women's underwear under his pillow.
Then, Guangyou saw the No. 5 perfume on the dressing table, picked it up and brought it close to his nose to smell it: "Same, basically confirmed."
To avoid making a mistake, he casually sniffed Guangkun when he went to the bedroom, so he naturally couldn't possibly admit it wrong.
Although there were already two pieces of evidence to confirm Kōyū's thoughts, he still did not leave. He was currently by Shibata Shirō's bed.
There was a bedside table on each side of the bed. I opened the drawers on the bedside tables and rummaged through them. One of the drawers contained some decorative items, such as bracelets and rings. Without a doubt, these all belonged to Kyoko Shibata.
Knowing this, Guangyou didn't even look through the drawer. He went straight to the other side, opened it, and saw what he wanted to see: several notebooks and a pen inside.
Opening the notebook, the format clearly shows that it is a diary. Flipping through the old, yellowed pages, after a few pages, Kōyū realized that this should be from Shibata Shirō's middle school days.
It's more like a kendo practice record than a diary, detailing what you practiced each day, the progress you made, where you fell short, and how to improve. This book was only skimmed through.
Until the second book, most of the contents were about unforgettable things that happened during his university years. This book could also be called a record of events during his university years. Similarly, this book probably didn't contain the information that Guangyou wanted, so he only glanced at it briefly.
The diary in the true sense should start from the third book. Every day was written, some were just a sentence, some were several paragraphs. Although most of them were meaningless, Guangyou still read them carefully and did not miss a single one.
Guangyou read two diaries in a row. The more "interesting" parts were the funny things that happened during their courtship and after marriage, as well as the content about the quarrels between the two that Guangyou paid special attention to.
