Chapter 2134 2145 [Uzo Zoo]
Inspector Megure nodded with satisfaction, and then he became a little confused: "Why is the bedroom locked so tightly? Doesn't she care about those threatening letters?"
The secretary sighed, "When the teacher asked a master to seal the mask before his death, the master left a few rules for Teacher Su Fang to abide by - one of which is to put two locks on the bedroom door."
"Master..." Inspector Megure looked speechless, "Superstition is really harmful."
After a pause, he felt that this statement was not rigorous: locking the door tightly would not be considered as harming people. But the door was locked so tightly, how did the murderer get in?
He scratched his hat and whispered to Jiang Xia, "Could it be that the crime was committed by an acquaintance? The man first tricked Mrs. Sufang into opening the door, then entered and killed her - and this must be someone that Mrs. Sufang would let in even if she knocked on the door in the middle of the night."
The secretary heard it sharply and her face turned pale: most of the guests were men, and they had only met Mrs. Sufang a few times. If this was true, then the suspect must be between her and the two maids!
She blurted out, "It must be Shimokasa Honami and Shimokasa Minaho."
In the distance, Masumi Takamori and Naoko Torimaru: "..."
After the secretary finished speaking, she glanced in their direction. Seeing the two people's gloomy eyes from afar, she shuddered for some reason and changed the topic, "Actually, Mrs. Sufang has been suffering from insomnia recently and has to take some strong sleeping pills. After she fell asleep, she couldn't hear any knocking on the door - so it must not be an acquaintance who tricked her into opening the door late at night!"
After saying that, he looked further away and saw the two maids lowering their heads at the same time, playing with their nails, looking weak, helpless and innocent, as if the murderous look just now was just an illusion.
Miss Secretary: “…” Life is so hard.
I don't know why, but I felt like I had just brushed shoulders with some bad luck.
…
The police were relieved to have gotten another clue: "No wonder the body did not struggle at all, it died peacefully."
Inspector Megure was even more puzzled: "If the deceased didn't open the door himself, how did the murderer get in?"
He suddenly remembered something and looked at the inconspicuous door on the right hand side of the entrance. His eyes lit up: "Isn't there another door? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jiang Xia raised his hand and knocked on the door frame.
At night, the police department was silent.
——This door was sealed tightly with nails and had faint spots of rust on it, obviously looking like it had never been opened.
There is also a vent on the top of this door, but the vent is made of iron bars, with only a few centimeters between each other. The iron bars are also strong and difficult to remove. Not to mention people, even putting a hand in will get stuck.
All in all, this is a complete secret room.
Conan listened for a long time and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Did Mrs. Sufang really take the sleeping pills by herself? - If the murderer tricked her into opening the door first, then let her take the sleeping pills, and then killed her after she fell asleep, the sleeping pills would naturally be detected in her body."
Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but touch his big head: "Yes, so the murderer is indeed an acquaintance!"
Jiang Xia: "But if this method is used, how can the murderer leave the room?"
Inspector Megure was suddenly stuck: "..."
After a moment, he looked at Conan quietly and winked at him secretly: Come on, tell me, wasn't it you who proposed this idea?
However, Conan just said whatever came to his mind. As for how the person left, he had not thought about it yet, so Conan raised his head and smiled back at Inspector Megure with an innocent child's smile.
When Hashimoto Maya saw that asking for a beating smile, the corner of her eye twitched: "..." This guy did it on purpose. He actually dared to tease the police. He is worthy of being Uzo's favorite student.
The corner of Inspector Megure's eye also twitched: "..."
...The hateful little brat who only cares about killing and not burying!
...But it's pretty good that an elementary school student can think of this.
The honest policeman could only sigh and patted Conan's head again: "Thank you for your hard work."
Conan continued to act like a child, but the next moment, Inspector Megure grabbed him by the collar and handed him to Officer Takagi next to him: "Why is this kid wandering around the crime scene? Hurry, take him out!"
Conan: “?”
Conan: "Wait, I...!!"
Hashimoto Maya sneered, then came to her senses and quickly stopped smiling, turning her head away silently.
Conan: “…” This suspicious person actually laughed at him!
He had more to say, but was taken away by the ruthless hands of the police.
…
The child who was forced to take the blame left, and Inspector Megure continued to think in front of the door.
"So how did the murderer get away?" He touched his broad chin. "The built-in rotary lock can be locked with wire and tape. I have learned this, but the padlock is too difficult to operate."
Inspector Megure secretly glanced at Jiang Xia, but the omnipotent reasoning engine was also looking at him, waiting for him to share information.
"..." Inspector Megure had no choice but to wave his fat hand and urge his subordinates, "How is the search going? Bring whatever you have first!"
A forensic police officer then brought over an evidence bag containing a blood-stained knife. The knife was very delicate and beautiful, but it was covered in blood splatter, from the blade to the handle.
Forensic police officer: "This should be the murder weapon. We just found it stuck on the bedside table."
Naoko Torimaru was originally hiding far away, but when she saw Hashimoto Maya wandering around Jiangxia pretending to be an assistant, her eyes twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, she actually took the initiative to walk over.
——Think carefully, there is nothing to be afraid of these policemen. Since she did not kill anyone this time, Jiang Xia will definitely not identify the wrong murderer, but will catch him on the spot.
Although she was a wanted criminal...she was wearing gloves and could not leave fingerprints, so the chances of these stupid policemen finding her were not high.
In short, since Hashimoto Maya has ill intentions, she must find an opportunity to remind Jiang Xia - anyway, Usa has long known that she is not a loyal subordinate and will die sooner or later, so it is better to shine before she dies and do the best she can.
So Maya Hashimoto soon discovered that a steel wool curler walked over to the side.
Under his shocked gaze, Torimaru Naoko calmly pushed him away, then she looked at the knife and offered a clue: "This is the decorative knife in the Mask Hall."
Jiang Xia was very polite: "I see."
Hashimoto Maya: “???” Where did this woman come from? What does she want to do? !
Beside him, Inspector Megure was still concentrating on solving the case without noticing the undercurrents around him. He looked at the knife and said blankly, "I always feel like there's something wrong with this knife."
