The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 561 Chocolate scattered on the ground

After hearing Onizawa Takashi's question, Nishiyama Kosuke also realized that it was strange that his girlfriend Konano Kanami did not come out after hearing such a huge noise. The anxiety on his face was genuine, and the pace under his feet continued to accelerate.

After arriving at the guest room near the back door, he quickly knocked on the door and shouted: "Kanami! Kanami! Are you resting in there?!"

Ritsu Sasashima, who followed closely, frowned tightly. He always felt that things were not that simple. Just when he was about to lift his foot to kick the door, Kosuke Nishiyama staggered and walked forward, only to find that the door was not locked. , not even closed.

Ritsu Sasashima reached out and grabbed Nishiyama's arm, pulled him out and yelled coldly: "Everyone, please stand outside and don't come in. Mr. Ishida, please call the police!"

"Good, good!"

Everyone's expressions changed after hearing what Onizawa Takashi said, because they understood the underlying meaning of calling the police, which meant that something might have happened to the maid Kanano Kanami in her room.

Ritsu Sasashima took out the white gloves from his coat pocket and carefully entered the scene after putting them on.From where she was standing at the door, she couldn't see where Konano Kanami was, but the smell of blood spreading in the air meant that her situation was not good.

Walking inside, he saw Konano Kanami sitting on the ground with her head hanging down, obviously without any sign of life. When Sasajima Ritsu leaned over and raised her head, he saw the blood wiped on her face, from the conjunctiva of her eyes. Symptoms of congestion, edema, erosion and bleeding in the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose appeared, which seemed to be arsenic trioxide poisoning.

He looked at his surroundings. There was a half-eaten chocolate cake on the bedside table, and a large amount of chocolate was scattered on the floor... If arsenic trioxide was poured into the cake, what did these chocolates mean?

Moreover, the blood on her face clearly showed traces of wiping, as if the murderer was gently wiping her face clean with a handkerchief. He was worried that her appearance when she died would be too revealing. Was it necessary for the murderer to risk being discovered by doing this?
"Mr. Onizawa, is my girlfriend in there?" Nishiyama Kosuke's voice sounded a little shaky. He clenched his fists tightly to give himself the strength to stand. His reddish eyes looked like he was already holding back. Tears.

Hearing Nishiyama's question, Ritsu Sasashima had no choice but to get up and walk to the door of the bedroom, shaking his head full of regret, and sighed: "Sorry, there are no vital signs."

"How could this happen...she was fine just now!!"

Kosuke Nishiyama covered his face in pain. He tried to rush in but was blocked by Ritsu Sasashima. This was not because he was ruthless, but because he had not yet conducted on-site evidence collection and could not allow irrelevant personnel to enter the crime scene. This was because as a police officer What to do.

If the scene is forcibly destroyed and useful evidence is destroyed, it will be even more difficult to solve the case without the help of the forensics department.

"Mr. Onizawa, is Miss Konno really dead?" The housekeeper Ishida Shigeru, who came back after making the call, was in disbelief. He didn't understand why such a thing happened, and at the same time he felt a little scared in his heart. Could it be that the murderer was beside them? person.

"Well, I would like to trouble Mr. Ishida to make another trip to call Mr. Takuya and Ms. Nao who live in the villa next door." Ritsu Sasashima paused, then looked at Tan Hakuba and added: "Hakuba, you Go with Mr. Ishida, no one can be left alone from now on."

"Ok."

Ritsu Sasashima noticed the expectant looks of Hattori Heiji and others. He knew that these high school detectives could not restrain their desire to investigate the scene, so he had no choice but to cough dryly and said: "Hattori, can you please help me?" Keep an eye on the scene and don't let others in. I'll take Mr. Nishiyama and the others to the living room to gather."

"No problem, leave it to us!"

"The rest of you, please move to the living room. I want to ask for everyone's alibi. By the way, I have something else to ask you."

"Ok."

Ritsu Sasashima sat on the single sofa in the living room and looked at the people who had their heads lowered and their expressions were not good-looking. It was obvious that a murder occurred in the villa that they did not want to see. What's more, the deceased was Konami Kanami, who they had known each other day and night. She He is only 24 years old this year.

He had no intention of beating around the bush. He suppressed his kind smile and said seriously: "Then I'll start with Mr. Nishiyama, who lives closest to the crime scene. I remember you said that the victim is your girlfriend, right?"

"...Well, Kanami and I were together last summer. She recently said that she would prepare a first-anniversary gift for me. I'm looking forward to it. Who knew something like this would happen." Kosuke Nishiyama raised his head and wiped it out With tears in the corners of his eyes, he said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Onizawa, please be sure to catch the murderer! I beg you!"

"I will, and please forgive me."

Ritsu Sasashima didn't expect that something like this would happen if he landed on the island by chance. Now he is a little worried that his luck is really too bad and he will transfer the so-called bad luck to others, right?
But soon he felt that this kind of thing was impossible. He preferred that the murderer knew his identity and deliberately demonstrated his carefully planned murder plan in front of him, just to provoke him.

It's just that he didn't quite understand the murderer's methods and couldn't find any motive for the murder. The scene looked like it was carefully arranged, and he couldn't tell whether it was a murder of love or a vendetta - he even felt that the murderer treated the victim very gently, so gently that he looked like a murderer. Killing her is the best arrangement.

"The victim, Ms. Konno, returned to her room to rest at eight o'clock in the evening. Judging from the fact that rigor mortis has not yet formed on the body, the time of the crime should be between nine and ten o'clock in the evening."

Ritsu Sasashima paused for a moment and carefully observed the expressions of the people present before saying: "So as usual, Mr. Nishiyama, please tell me where you were during the hour from nine to ten in the evening? What were you doing? What?"

Kosuke Nishiyama took a deep breath to control his emotions, and said slowly: "Actually, I went to Kanami's room after eight o'clock, and I saw her eating chocolate cake. At that time, I also reminded her to remember to brush her teeth after eating the cake. , otherwise I will have toothache like last time and be unable to sleep."

"After I left her room, I went directly to my bedroom to wash up. The time I went to bed was almost 09:30. Because I have the habit of setting an alarm, I always check what time it is before going to bed."

There is no alibi that can be proven by others, so the suspicion of Kosuke Nishiyama cannot be ruled out.After hearing this, Sasashima Ritsu did not continue to ask, but suddenly changed the subject: "Does she like chocolate very much?"

"Hey?"
