Kexue Magician

Chapter 200 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

"dong dong dong..."

"I am the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, please open the door."

The heavy knock on the door woke up Feng Chu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he frowned tightly, and then opened his eyes.

The knock on the door stopped and sounded again, as if he would not give up until the people inside were woken up and exhaled, Feng Chu quickly got dressed, put on slippers, rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the door, and saw that he was wearing a uniform the police.

"Hello, sir, do you know Okabe Shigekichi?" The policeman showed his police ID and asked.

Feng Chu glanced at the three Mori Kogoro behind the policeman, and nodded.

Later, under the pretext of requesting cooperation in the investigation, Fengchu, Mori Kogoro, Conan and Mao Lilan followed the police and left the hotel, walking hundreds of meters to the Magic Block Temple.

The orange sun of the morning glow in the sky shines on the earth.

Magic Block Temple, under the five-storied pagoda.

Lack of sleep, tired Mao Lilan listened to the police's guidance, looked up at the tip of the five-storied pagoda, and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Mr. Shigeyoshi Okabe Okabe..."

Mao Lilan's bright eyes turned gray with fear, she lowered her head abruptly, her hands tremblingly shrunk in front of her chest, besides being unbelievable, the gloomy face and cold words of Host Danhai yesterday kept in her mind replay of .

"how so!"

Mori Kogoro stared at Shigekichi Okabe's body with wide eyes.

Hearing the familiar voice, police officer Henggou Shenwu immediately turned his head to look, his frowning brows relaxed immediately, he went up to greet him, and said happily: "It's Mr. Mao Li, long time no see!"

Facing the fan officer Henggou, Mori Kogoro quickly regained his composure.

He put his right fist to his mouth and coughed twice. After clearing his throat, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "Officer Henggou, what's the result of the inspection?"

Police officer Henggou said: "The dead man's name is Okabe Shigekichi, 55 years old, a servant hired by the Huankuan Temple. His neck was strangled by one end of the rope, and then he went around the top of the fifth floor of the five-storied pagoda, and the other end was tied to the railing. .”

"Now we are preparing to bring the body down so we can examine him for other injuries."

Mori Kogoro expressed his understanding.

"Mr. Mao Li, what do you think of this case?" Officer Henggou asked impatiently.

Kogoro Mouri frowned, and said in a bad mood: "We can't just draw conclusions now, we have to base ourselves on the facts, and we'll talk after checking the corpse table."

Officer Henggou quickly nodded and said yes.

"Xiaolan and Conan are also here, hey, you are Mr. Fengchu, right?"

Police officer Henggou only noticed the people around Mori Kogoro at this time. As he learned about various cases and regarded Mori Kogoro as an idol, he also knew that there was once a wise man named Mori Kogoro, so he quickly recognized Feng early.

Feng Chu nodded.

Very good!This time, we may see Mr. Mori Kogoro defeat his former opponent!
Officer Henggou's eyes flashed, and he waited quietly.

After ten minutes.

Shigekichi Okabe's body was lifted down. His mouth was open, and his face was frozen with a frightened expression. His wide eyes could no longer close automatically, and the police would not close his eyes immediately, after all, he hadn't taken pictures yet. and check.

While the police from the Appraisal Section inspected Shigekichi Okabe's body, Kogoro Mori and Kazechu watched carefully.

Another few minutes passed.

The police officer of the inspection department said: "Officer Henggou, no obvious trauma was found on the body. Judging from the stiffness of the body, the spots on the body and the temperature of the body, the time of death was probably between 11:12 and [-]:[-] last night."

"The direct cause of death should be suffocation caused by compression of the neck."

Police officer Henggou touched his chin with his white-gloved right hand upon hearing this.

"There is another strange thing, that is the dead man hanging from the rope ring, his feet are [-] centimeters away from the railing." The police officer of the inspection department said.

Police officer Henggou was puzzled: "That is to say, if he committed suicide, he would not be able to reach the ring if he wanted to hang himself!"

"But if this is a homicide case? Then the question arises again. Can the murderer stand on the narrow and small railing and lift the person into the ring? It is too dangerous. If he is not careful, he will even fall off. The five-storied pagoda fell to his death..."

Talking to himself for a while, police officer Henggou couldn't come to a conclusion, so he set his sights on Kogoro Mouri.

Mori Kogoro didn't think of a reason either.

"Hum hum!"

"This is the punishment of the gods for dishonesty, how can the wisdom of mortals explain it!"

The host Danhai, who was smiling sinisterly, suddenly spoke, his face was full of sarcasm.

Beside Danhai, Harumi, who was originally the successor of Huankuanji Temple, was wearing a brown suit. Although he didn't know how Okabe Shigekichi died, he had blamed him in the past, and he also had a happy smile on his face.

"Father, will you be in danger?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly, remembering the legend of the five-storied pagoda.

Mori Kogoro's hands trembled, and he wanted to say don't be superstitious, but Shigekichi Okabe's body was still close in front of him. The living example seemed to show the power of the legendary gods, so he had to close his lips tightly.

Officer Henggou asked in confusion, "Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

Mao Lilan recounted the legend of the five-storied pagoda that he heard from Shigekichi Okabe yesterday.

Everyone present, including police officer Yokomizo and his subordinates, and tourists who had seen Okabe Shigeyoshi, felt chills in their hearts.

This is not a punishment from the gods, but a homicide case!

Judging from the scorched marks on the armor knots, ropes, and iron plates in the ancient well, it can be seen that the method of hanging people on the top of the five-storied pagoda can be realized.

However, there is no evidence of who killed it now...

However, the most suspicious one is Dan Hai, who has sufficient motives and is likely to know the murder technique handed down from the Edo period, and used it to fake the gods and punish him, so as to take himself out of the matter.

Feng Chu who came back from Gujing frowned slightly.

Classmate Conan, who followed Feng Chu just now and now also thought of the murderer's method, also frowned. Without evidence, it is impossible to bring the murderer to justice!

"Mr. Fengchu, what do you think?" Officer Henggou asked.

Feng Chu shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet."

At this time, Hideaki Oda, the president of ODA Tourism Company, walked in with strides, followed by Yosuke Kajimura, the manager and senior staff of ODA Hotel.

"It's really unlucky that someone died here!" Oda Hideaki, who was fat and fierce, said in disgust.

Officer Henggou immediately asked Hideaki Oda and Yosuke Kajimura about their identities and alibi.

"Oda Hideaki, this is God's punishment for dishonesty!"

"I advise you to reform as soon as possible, maybe the gods will forgive you."

Danhai's host stared at Hideaki Oda with dark eyes. This phantom temple would have been inherited by his son Chunhai, but now it was about to be destroyed. meaning.

"Hmph! What kind of punishment from the gods, don't lie to others, I don't want to do that!"

Oda Hideaki waved his hand, eyes full of disdain.
