Chapter 55: Swinging Between Revealing and Not Revealing
Upon seeing Inspector Megure arrive, Chizuru's mind automatically played a familiar background music.
Then a familiar voice came to my ears.
"Brother Mori, it's you again!"
Qianzhu glanced at Conan, who was already observing the corpse, walked up behind him, put her hands behind her back, and bent down slightly to ask, "Conan, what are you doing? Have you noticed something wrong?"
Conan was startled and became wary. He quickly laughed it off and pretended to be curious, "No, it's just that I think this murderer is strange. Why did he wrap the victim in clothes?"
Qianzhu glanced at the corpse, then asked him with a smile, "So why do you think that is?"
Conan was sweating profusely.
Could it be that Qianzhu suspects him?
"I don't know either, hahaha, after all, I'm just a kid."
Conan covered the back of his head and laughed heartily.
"is that so……"
Qianzhu looked at him suspiciously, wavering between revealing his true identity and not revealing it.
Conan was so frightened by him that he immediately moved away from the corpse.
Qianzhu glanced at the Corgi, who was secretly searching the scene from behind him, and smiled to herself.
Seeing that Chizuku was no longer paying attention to him, Conan quietly returned to the body that had been moved out of the cabinet and squatted down to examine it.
The body's face was swollen, with prominent lividity and a dark purple color. There were pinpoint hemorrhages in her corneas, and there were obvious ligature marks on her neck. Clearly, she had been strangled.
However, there were no signs of struggle on his body.
Conan examined the corpse's head and found a blunt force wound on the back of her head, where the blood had clotted.
At this point, after investigation by the police, all the suspects who were suspected of murder were brought in.
They are Kawaguchi Kurata, the husband of the deceased, Kawaguchi Mika.
Yui Uesugi, the deceased's close friend who came to work with her.
And the deceased's colleagues, Tomokazu Kihara and Shoma Kumano.
Many staff members said they had seen Kihara Tomokazu and Kumano Shoma argue with the deceased Kawaguchi Miwa more than once, and that the two had even said they wanted to kill Kawaguchi Miwa.
Upon hearing this statement, Mori Chihiro immediately looked at the two of them.
"I didn't kill her! Although... although I did say those things before! But it was just talk! I didn't really mean to kill her!" Kihara Satoshi was the first to defend himself.
"Hmph, since you've already decided to kill someone, it's not impossible that you'd suddenly take action, is it?" Kogoro Mouri snorted, staring at Tomoki Kihara with dead fish eyes.
"I...!" Kihara Satoshi was momentarily speechless, but his attitude remained firm: "I said I didn't kill him, so I didn't! Don't even think about framing me until you provide evidence!"
After staring at her for a few seconds, Mori shifted his gaze to Kumano Shoma.
“Uh…” Meeting Mori’s gaze, Kumano Shoma was at a loss for words for a moment, “Like Kihara, I don’t want anyone to take the blame for me before there is solid evidence.”
gross profit:……
After glancing at Kawaguchi Kurata, who was weeping bitterly beside the deceased, and then at Uesugi Yoshie, who was quietly sobbing nearby, Mori finally fixed his gaze on Kawaguchi Kurata.
"Could it be that Mr. Kawaguchi killed his wife for some huge insurance payout or something?"
The more Mori thought about it, the more sense it made.
