Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 38 The Idol Family Murder Case

"Congratulations very much, Officer Ida."

Xiaolan and Kaori also learned about Datehang's good news. They had just been frightened by the corpse in the house, but now they finally relaxed their mood.

Matsuda Jinhei picked up the phone and got the task of investigating the address of the deceased and searching the house, and they left immediately.

"Xaori-san, you and these children are staying here. The dead inside are quite miserable. You should not go in."

"I see, Yuuji-san, I will wait here for you to solve the case, you have to work hard!"

Kaori gave the boy a thumbs up and became the boss of the younger children.When she turned back to count, she realized that Conan was gone.

With the permission of the police, Yuji and Uncle Maori walked into the living room. In the living room, Takagi Wataru was leading the inspection police to conduct a comprehensive search of the crime scene.

Just now, Yuji was observing Okino Yoko's home because he was chatting outside the door and comforting a few children who were frightened.There are murals on the walls and sofas.

The living room leads to the kitchen, dining room and balcony, and the bathroom is at the door, next to the entrance, a very ordinary design.

There seems to be a child growing on the ground, still crawling. Hey, isn't this Conan?When did he come in?

Officer Megure was looking at the body on the ground with his hands folded: "I see, then when you came back, this man was already dead, right? Who was with you at that time?"

"It's me, Officer Megure, long time no see! Oh, I really miss the days when I worked on cases with Officer Megure!" Mouri Kogoro raised his hand like a student who wanted to answer a question.

Taking the magnifying glass from Conan's hand and hearing the adults' conversation, Yuji and Conan could clearly see Officer Megure letting out a sigh of relief, as if he had some memories of Uncle Mouri that they couldn't look directly at.

"Every time it's because of you, we seem to be in a maze." Officer Meguro fanned the wind with his hat: "It's really hot here. Ms. Yoko Okino, do you always turn on the air conditioner so strongly?"

"No, I remember turning off the air conditioner when I went out."

Is the air conditioner broken?Yuji clicked on the remote control, but found that the air conditioner can be controlled freely, which is good.

That has something to do with the dead person on the ground.

Yuji walked to the body, looked at the water on the ground, touched it and put it under his nose to smell it.

There was no pungent smell, it seemed like ordinary water, a little too cold, and the beach was about a person's width away from the body.Is it a coincidence?Or is it the method used by the murderer to disrupt the time of death?
Wait, there seems to be something in the hands of the deceased?
Yuji pinched it with his hands and found that it was hair, and it was very long.Loose, about three or four.After getting an evidence bag from the coroner next door, Yuji put the hairs in it.

"By the way, does Ms. Yoko know this deceased person? Please don't lie, otherwise you will be prosecuted for obstructing the police from solving the case." Yuji handed the evidence bag to Takagi Wataru on the side, and then asked about Okino Yoko.

"Actually, Mr. Fujie is my high school boyfriend."

Mouri Kogoro looked at the fat man on the ground in disbelief, and everyone in the room fell silent.

What do you like about him?
"Miss Yoko, good taste..."

...Uncle Mao Li is still courting?If you can't boast, don't force it!
Officer Megure held up his hat and looked at Okino Yoko seriously: "Is the knife that killed the victim Ms. Okino's?"

"…Yes."

"If you kill someone in a secret room, and the murder weapon belongs to the owner of the house, you are the most suspect."

Uncle Maori immediately defended Okino Yoko: "How is that possible, Officer Megure, how could Miss Yoko be a prisoner! You can't draw conclusions so quickly."

The children who entered the house all agreed, but Minami Kaori embarrassedly took her out.

Officer Megure took the hair evidence handed over by Takagi Wataru with his hand: "Are there any other keys to this apartment?"

As soon as Uncle Mouri said that the agent had lost the spare key, he pointed at Mr. Yamagishi in sudden realization. "You didn't actually lose the key, but you hid it and prepared to take revenge on Miss Yoko. You also killed this man, right?"

"Do you have any idea that Ms. Okino is not the murderer? Mori-kun."

"Needless to say, Officer Megure, Miss Yoko is so cute, how could she be the murderer!"

Middle-aged groupies are despised by everyone.

Yuji touched the murder weapon through the evidence bag and found that the handle was a little cold, so he also wrote it down in his notebook.

A "bang" came from the side, as if Conan was beaten by Uncle Mori. The boy didn't care much, but looked at Yoko Okino: "Is there a plastic box in Miss Yoko's room that can hold things? The kind that goes in the fridge."

Okino Yoko seems to have been suspected by Officer Megure, and is now actively cooperating with Yuji's questioning.

"There's one for shoes."

Conan rubbed his head and was standing in front of the shoe cabinet. After hearing his brother's question, he opened the cabinet door and was beaten by Uncle Maori again.

"That's it, thank you, uncle." Yuji took the box from Mouri Kogoro's hand, opened the lid and touched it, and sure enough, there were water drops on the inner wall.

Feeling that the clothes were being pulled by someone, he lowered his head and looked at his feet. It turned out to be Conan, holding an earring in his hand.

"This earring seems to belong to Miss Ikezawa Yuko!"

Hearing what Okino Yoko said, Officer Megure immediately sent someone to summon Ikezawa Yuko.

The sound of the refrigerator door being opened attracted everyone. Conan looked at the vacated first floor of the freezer, then ran to the corpse and squatted down.

Yuji noticed that Xiaolan's eyes were straightened, so he immediately pulled Conan out of the door.

"Calm down, the way Sister Xiaolan looks at you is wrong."

After changing a pair of gloves and returning to the room, Yuji took Uncle Mori to the corner, and handed the notebook in which he wrote down all the suspicious points just now to Kogoro Mori.

To be honest, Kudo Yuji never believed that Uncle Mori really had poor reasoning ability, but Yuji never denied that his observation ability was low.

Ikezawa Yuko came in with the police impatiently, complaining all the time: "You guys stop joking, if someone died in Okino Yoko's room, then it is clear that the murderer was her! I have never been here Woolen cloth!"

Ikezawa Yuko sat directly on the sofa, and Yuji held out the earrings in front of her: "Are you sure, if it involves a public figure, the police may check the fingerprints in this room later. If there are yours, they may directly You are judged as the murderer!"

In fact, this was a lie to her. For the Japanese police, this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive method that may not necessarily get the answer is absolutely impossible. If the murderer is never found, they will directly define it as suicide and close the case.

Ikezawa Yuko is really scared.
