Chapter 86

In the world of science, murders are bound to happen, especially when there is a scientific death god among the group.

So, when Hoshikawa and Ming followed a group of teachers and students to the door of Mr. Sakai's staff dormitory, they saw that the dormitory door was locked, and then they saw through the window that Mr. Sakai was lying on the floor motionless inside the room. They actually felt a strange sense of relief, as if "it's finally here".

Before everyone in the welfare home recovered from their panic, Date Kou stepped forward and broke the door open, and Mori Kogoro and Hagiwara Kenji immediately began to maintain order at the scene.

While no one was paying attention, Conan followed behind Date Kou and slipped in.

Mao Lilan skillfully began to call the police and call an ambulance. Just as she was about to dial the number, she heard Date Kou, who had entered the room to check on Sakai, said in a deep voice:

"Don't call an ambulance. There are no vital signs. Miss Maori, just call the police."

Ida Kou checked the body again, thought about it carefully, and then continued:

"And judging from the distribution of the corpse spots, the deceased has been dead for at least fifteen hours."

Conan also immediately discovered that the deceased had been dead for quite some time. Date Kou was experienced and immediately began a simple autopsy. Conan did not want to reveal too much of his abnormality in front of the sharp-minded Officer Date, so he pretended to be curious and began to look for clues in the room.

Everyone outside the door was stunned by what Ida Kou said, but when they came to their senses, their first reaction was disbelief.

"What? How is this possible? Mr. Sakai..."

"Hey! Who are you guys? Don't think you can talk nonsense here just because you are the dean's guests!"

"What are the dean's guests? They are the guys who came with Xingchuan and Ming!"

"What? It's that Xingchuan guy? Isn't it enough that he alone caused trouble to the welfare home? Now he brings people back to cause trouble..."

Vice Director Ishikawa tried to persuade everyone to maintain the image of the welfare home and not to cause a commotion, but everyone's emotions had already become high and they completely ignored her advice.

Seeing the people's discussion getting louder and louder, the fear of Mr. Sakai's death suddenly turned into accusations and even slander against Hoshikawa Kazuaki. Maori Kogoro, who had no idea about Hoshikawa Kazuaki's experience in the orphanage, finally realized that something was wrong.

He was controlling the situation at the moment. Although he was clearly in a stronger position, his expression was extremely confused. He couldn't help but wonder:

"What are you talking about? What does the murder that happened more than ten hours ago have to do with Xingchuan and Ming who just came here today?"

However, his words reminded everyone present, and someone immediately said in dissatisfaction:

"Hey! Who are you guys? What right do you have to boss us around? Get out of the way and let us go see Teacher Sakai. If you keep blocking us here, we'll call the police!"

Maori Kogoro had been hiding his identity all along the way in order to attend the fan meeting at noon. When he saw that someone had finally asked about his identity, he immediately perked up, puffed out his chest, put his hands on his hips and laughed:

"Oh my! You finally can't help asking me! Then let me tell you, I am the famous detective..."

However, before Kogoro Mori could finish his words, Kenji Hagiwara stepped in front of him and interrupted his self-introduction.

Hagiwara Kenji took out his police manual from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone. He casually covered the department section with his fingers, and then said to everyone with a serious face:

"I'm a police officer! A murder has occurred here, and we are temporarily in charge of the scene. Before the police officers in charge of this case arrive, please cooperate with us and do not walk around the crime scene or leave. We will conduct a brief interrogation with everyone later."

The reason why Kenji Hagiwara deliberately interrupted Kogoro Mori was because in the current situation, a police officer with legal investigative powers would obviously have a greater deterrent effect than a detective.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that Hagiwara Kenji was a policeman, the people in the welfare home who were about to make a fuss immediately restrained themselves and looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Ida Ko had also walked out of the deceased's room and took out his police manual, showing it to everyone.

The bold words "Investigation Division 1" and his identity as a deputy inspector made Hagiwara Kenji's words more convincing.

In addition, his burly figure, which was much taller than the average person, and his stern face made the pressure too strong, so everyone closed their mouths reluctantly and waited for the arrangements of the two policemen in front of them.

Behind him, Kogoro Maori was still muttering in dissatisfaction:

"Oh, I was just about to tell you. I wore a new suit just for this moment."

Date Kou felt helpless. This senior Mori was obviously reliable when analyzing cases, but why did he always act like a layman and do stupid things at other times?

What kind of strange habit is this?

In response, Date Kou could only pretend that he didn't see it and invited him nonchalantly:

"Mori-senpai, I want to do a quick investigation before the police arrive. Would you like to join me?"

As a result, the police and detectives on the scene quickly split up and took action, while the people in the welfare home stood in the open space in front of the staff dormitory, waiting to be questioned by the director's guest who claimed to be a police officer.

Xingchuan and Ming also stood aside obediently, and it seemed that they had no intention of participating in the investigation of the case.

Kagino Satoshi urged him subconsciously: Xiaoxing, aren't you a famous mystery cartoonist? Why don't you go with them to investigate the case? Why are you staying here?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Don't look at me, be careful about your image. A case has happened, and what happened here could be included in the manga at any time. We don't need to do anything extra, just leave it to the detectives and the police.

Kagino Satoshi: But if we do nothing, how can we get good reviews?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: It's not the right time now. When it's our turn to perform, I promise that there will be a lot of good reviews and money in the bank.

In the victim's room, Kenji Hagiwara was taking pictures of the victim and the crime scene with his cell phone.

When the deceased died, he was lying on the ground with his head on the side, his hands covering his throat with a grim expression, blue lips, and some vomit left in his mouth and on the floor in front of him.

Ida Hang pondered:

"The deceased had no previous medical history. Judging from the scene, the deceased should have died of poisoning. However, the specific poison and the more precise time of death will have to wait until colleagues from the forensics department arrive to determine."

Conan had just checked the window and said:

"All the windows were closed and there were no signs of damage. Only one door was forced open by Officer Ida himself."

He glanced at the broken screws on the ground, and remembered how easily Yi Dahang had knocked down the door. He couldn't help but marvel at Yi Dahang's extremely strong physical physique.

Although Hagiwara Kenji knew that Conan was very smart, he still considered that Conan was just a child after all, so he checked the window again while taking the photo. Seeing that it was exactly as Conan said, he looked at him and sighed:

"Although Conan is a child, his observation and attentiveness are really beyond the reach of ordinary children."

Conan immediately tilted his head and grinned in a practiced manner.

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and began to analyze:

"The doors and windows were closed, and the key was in the deceased's pocket. Doesn't that mean this is a secret room? Then the most likely scenario is that the deceased committed suicide!"

Kogoro Mori's expression suddenly perked up, and he strode to the dead man's desk and began to search.

"Ah! Found it!"

He reached out and picked up a piece of written paper on the table, held it in front of him and motioned the two policemen to look over, then said confidently:

"Look! I found evidence that the deceased committed suicide. It's a suicide note!"

The two policemen present were stunned, and then looked at Kogoro Mouri with suspicion at the same time.

Conan directly retorted:

"But the deceased's pocket with the key also contained a ticket to Osaka this morning. If the deceased really committed suicide, how could he have bought the ticket in advance before committing suicide?"
