Chapter 118 Every time he appears, there is a murder.
Takagi was about to ask him a question after showing him his ID photo when the fierce-looking man spoke first.
"You want to ask me about the murder case, right?"
Takagi:?
How did you know?
The man took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled. "I just saw Mr. Kogoro Mouri. It feels like every time he appears, a murder occurs."
Takagi:……
“I saw a short-haired woman buy a bunch of fishing line and borrow a ladder from me.”
Takagi's expression instantly turned serious. He took out a photo of Nakazato Asaka and showed it to him. "Is this the person?"
The man glanced at her and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's her."
"Where is the ladder she borrowed? Can I see it?"
“Of course, I’ll take you there.” The man led him a short distance and finally stopped at another two-story building. He pointed to a wooden ladder leaning against the wall. “Look, this is it.”
This ladder is quite tall; it's perfectly fine to use it to get to the second floor.
"Can I borrow it for a moment?" Takagi asked dutifully again.
The man waved his hand, telling him to take it as he pleased. "Of course, no problem, just take it."
You really can't judge a book by its cover...
Takagi thanked him, then carried the ladder away.
On the way, he also called Inspector Megure to explain the situation.
Inspector Megure, who was just about to retreat, stopped in his tracks and exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say? There are accomplices in this case?"
After he finished speaking, he gave Nakazato Asaka a sharp look.
After he hung up the phone, Mori was a little confused. "What happened, Inspector Megure?"
“Brother Takagi said that someone saw Ms. Nakazato Asaka buy fishing line and gloves, and borrowed a ladder from him, which could be used to climb to the second floor.”
As he spoke, Inspector Megure walked into the room where the incident occurred and opened the window, while Takagi happened to have placed the ladder below and climbed up once.
You can indeed climb to the second floor using a ladder.
Conan peered through the window of the study next to Ohara Shotaro's room and watched as Takagi climbed into the room. He then looked down at the ladder and noticed two marks directly below the study window.
The distance of the mark matches the distance of the ladder.
Conan looked through the window and saw a very faint fingerprint that could only be left on the outside of the window.
It seems the other party wiped it, but due to time constraints, it wasn't completely clean.
After mentally replaying the murder method in his mind, Conan called over a forensic expert to collect fingerprints from the window.
In the end, it was indeed confirmed that it was Nakazato Asaka's fingerprint.
With both witnesses and physical evidence, Nakazato Asaka clenched her fists, sat with her head down for a long while, and then slowly exhaled and admitted it.
Like Fushimi Ami, she was also seeking revenge for Fushimi Miyuki and Kakuta Kingetsu.
They had demonstrated this method of committing the crime many times, except that they had added Kuno Nayazuki to the mix.
Before being taken away, Nakazato Asaka lowered her head and said softly, "I didn't expect that a child could see through me."
Conan stood with his hands in his pockets, watching the two prisoners being led away.
As for the other two suspects who were cleared of suspicion, they are not important and can be ignored.
Kuno Naya stood beside Ran, watching Conan's still sharp and decisive crime-solving style, a pleased smile curving her lips.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth turned down, and his expression changed to sadness and melancholy.
"I never imagined... Uncle Ohara would be this kind of person..."
As she spoke, she ran out of things to say and lowered her head dejectedly. Xiao Lan, who was beside her, offered her a few words of comfort.
