Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 352 Another murder in a closed room! Homicide? Murder of passion? [Happy Valentine's Day]

When he learned about the murder, Takeshi Ono was stunned for a moment.

I had clearly nipped the murder plan of Kusaka Hironari and the others in the bud, so how come someone still died?
And the one who died was President Fujiwara?

If the person who died was Usumoto Gozo, then Onino Takeshi could still be understood. After all, this family was targeted by the god of death, and they could not escape it even if they did, so it would be unreasonable if one or two of them did not die.

But I didn't expect that the one who died would be President Fujiwara.

The body was discovered in the morning by his secretary, Ito Misaki.

She came to the suite as usual to wake up President Fujiwara, but after knocking on the door for a long time there was no response, so she asked the waiter to open the door, only to find President Fujiwara dead on the ground.

As soon as the matter was reported, the shocked Yashiro Nobutaro immediately blocked the news to avoid disturbing other guests.

Of course, the more important thing is to maintain the reputation of their Eighth Generation Foundation.

Then figure out how to deal with the matter.

The problem is that they are now in the Pacific Ocean and have no way to notify the police, so they can only find the famous detective Kogoro Mouri.

Gui Yewu naturally knew it.

"No one is allowed to enter!"

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Kogoro Mouri ordered everyone with a serious expression to protect the scene.

He then entered the room to investigate, and Conan naturally followed in.

Gui Yewu stood among the crowd of onlookers outside the door. He looked around and with his sharp eyesight he could easily see the situation in the room.

The room was relatively tidy, with no signs of damage or struggle. The doors and windows were all closed and locked from the inside. There was no one else in the room except the deceased.

Obviously, this is a secret room!
Kogoro Mouri and Conan's expressions were solemn, and they came to the same conclusion.

This is the perfect secret room!

In other words, this was a closed-room murder!
"Based on the degree of rigor mortis and the presence of livor mortis, the time of death was probably between 12 o'clock last night and 2 o'clock in the morning."

Conan examined the condition of the body and analyzed it with a frown.

"There are no obvious external injuries on the surface, but the face is bluish purple, the pupils are dilated, the muscles are stiff, there are signs of corrosion on the oral mucosa, and the chest and abdomen are swollen. It is speculated that there is pulmonary edema. All signs indicate that Fujiwara-san is likely to have died of poisoning!"

“Wait! This is…”

Conan's eyes suddenly focused and fell on the left hand of the corpse.

Chairman Fujiwara made a very strange gesture with his left hand.

Raise your thumb and index finger, and clench the other three fingers, just like a "pistol"!
Conan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Could this be... a death message left behind by the deceased?!"

Just when he wanted to take a closer look, a fist landed on his head.

boom!
"Ouch!"

Conan held his head and screamed.

"How many times have I told you not to run around the crime scene?"

Kogoro Mouri picked up Conan and was ready to throw him out.

Conan didn't care about the big bump on his head, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not running around, I'm helping you, uncle, investigate the case!"

Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes and snorted disdainfully: "Do I need your help? Besides, this is obviously a secret room, and the room card is in the deceased's pocket, so it is most likely a suicide!"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. Suicide?

Maori Kogoro said proudly: "That's right! As far as I know, due to poor management, Chairman Fujiwara's company is already heavily in debt, and the capital chain is about to break.

Once the capital chain breaks, it will inevitably lead to a series of problems and cause huge impacts. It is very likely that the Fujiwara Group will collapse overnight!

Faced with this situation, it is not impossible that President Fujiwara, who is at a loss as to what to do, would choose to commit suicide in despair. "

Then he looked at Ito Misaki for confirmation.

"Is this the case, Ms. Ito? As President Fujiwara's secretary, you should be the one who knows this best."

Ito Misaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it is like this... The president's company has indeed had some problems recently."

Maori Kogoro clapped his hands, very proud of his own inference: "So the truth is that President Fujiwara was overwhelmed and chose to commit suicide under tremendous pressure!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, thinking it made some sense.

“That’s not the case!”

At this time, a voice was heard, and Conan covered his head and refuted in an "innocent" tone.

"I don't think President Fujiwara is committing suicide. How could a person who is about to commit suicide go out to gamble happily last night?"

Seeing that it was this guy again, Kogoro Mori immediately raised his fist and pretended to hit him.

Conan quickly and slid behind Mouri Ran and hugged her thighs.

Mao Lilan immediately squatted down to protect Conan: "Dad, don't hit Conan all the time! And Conan, you, don't run around all the time..."

Seeing that this kid had found a protective umbrella, Maori Kogoro glared at him fiercely and retorted unhappily: "Maybe President Fujiwara wanted to vent before he died. There's nothing to be surprised about such a thing!"

"So...how do you explain this?"

Conan's lenses reflected a white light and his sight fell on the bedside table on the right.

Maori Kogoro subconsciously looked over and found a red wine glass on it, with some dark red wine still remaining at the bottom of the glass. Conan's voice became serious: "Yesterday, when President Fujiwara toasted Sister Sonoko, he held the wine glass with his left hand. When he smoked in the casino at night, he also used his left hand. So it is obvious that President Fujiwara should be left-handed."

"Then the question is, if that's the case, why is the wine glass placed on the bedside table to the right of the bed?"

"Isn't this very inconvenient?"

"This..." Kogoro Mori was speechless for a moment. This was indeed a suspicious point.

"And..." Conan pushed his glasses, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand and pointed at the trash can.

"There's something strange in there!"

Kogoro Mouri was stunned, then immediately walked to the trash can, looked down, and his eyes suddenly widened slightly.

"This is……"

Kogoro Mouri leaned over and took out some scraps of paper from the trash can, and it turned out to be a torn photo!
After looking at Conan, Maori Kogoro's expression became serious and he put the fragments on the table.

It didn't take long to piece it together into a complete photo!

When the last piece of debris was put away, Kogoro Mori was immediately surprised.

This is a photo of President Fujiwara and his secretary Ito Misaki. The two of them are behaving intimately in the photo, and you can tell at a glance that they have a special relationship.

There is a line of small words written on the back of the photo:
[To my beloved Misaki, may our love be as eternal as the ocean! ]

Maori Kogoro immediately turned his head to look at Ito Misaki, whose face changed color. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked, "Ms. Ito, what's the matter with this photo?"

"This……"

Ito Misaki's eyes were wandering and she stammered, unable to speak.

Maori Kogoro emphasized: "Although this is your private matter, it involves a murder case. Miss Ito, please answer truthfully!"

His words already confirmed Conan's inference that President Fujiwara did not commit suicide, but was murdered!

After all, there are indeed many doubts.

Facing Maori Kogoro's questioning, Ito Misaki was in a state of panic, and finally had to confess honestly: "No, that's right, the president and I are indeed in a relationship..."

Then he shouted in panic, "But the president's death has nothing to do with me!"

"So how do you explain this photo?"

Maori Kogoro pointed at the photo on the table and stared into Ito Misaki's eyes. "Since you are a couple, why did you tear up such an important photo? Did you have some conflict?"

"I, I..." Ito Misaki was tongue-tied and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Yesterday, I saw you, Sister Ito, arguing with President Fujiwara!" Conan's "innocent" words rang out again.

Seeing that she couldn't argue, Ito Misaki could only sigh.

"We did have a little conflict, and he wanted to break up with me..."

Maori Kogoro immediately interjected: "So you turned love into hatred and cruelly killed President Fujiwara?!"

Ito Misaki's eyes widened and she waved her hands hastily to deny, "No, that's not the case. I didn't kill the president!"

However, the people around her looked at her with suspicion.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said, "As far as I know, President Fujiwara should have been married, right?"

"Oh!"

The others immediately showed a look of realization.

It turns out that they were not lovers, but kept lovers!
Ito Misaki's face turned pale in an instant.

Most murders are revenge killings, love killings, or murders for money. Now that it has been proven that President Fujiwara was murdered, Ito Misaki, who had the most abnormal relationship with him on the ship and had a dispute with him, naturally became the number one suspect.

But conclusive evidence is currently lacking.

It is obvious that President Fujiwara died of poisoning, so the red wine glass is most likely the "murder weapon". Fortunately, the ship is equipped with a medical room with professional testing equipment.

So Kogoro Mori arranged for someone to test the wine glass and the remaining wine.

At the same time, he went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage of the incident.

In the picture, it can be clearly seen that at around 12:40 last night, Ito Misaki did enter President Fujiwara's room.

At that time, President Fujiwara was still alive.

However, Ito Misaki only stayed in the house for less than 5 minutes and left at around 12:45.

Through the surveillance video, it can be clearly seen that her expression was a little panicked, her behavior was a little strange, she looked absent-minded, and she left in a hurry.

She was also the only person who entered the suite during the time of the incident.

The evidence is there!

At this point, Ito Misaki's suspicion has been infinitely magnified.

Once the residual toxins are detected in the wine and Ito Misaki's fingerprints are found on the wine glass, her identity as the murderer can be confirmed!

Irrefutable!

at the same time.

Conan also made a new discovery at the crime scene...
