Conan, but the winery

"Please watch the door!"

"Okay, okay!"

After shouting to the staff at the door, Karasuma Ying quickly ran into the living room.

In the living room, an obese middle-aged man was lying on the floor with a ferocious face.

It looks like he is dead.

Yesterday, I did trick (cross out) several book friends into joining by betraying the looks of my group friends.

Although some readers guessed that the cute group member I mentioned was me, it’s actually not me.

Chapter 63 What a coincidence, Inspector Megure

"The pulse has stopped and there is a taste like almonds in the mouth, which should be cyanide poisoning.

Mr. Somei, there is no need to call an ambulance, just call the police."

In the living room, Wu Wanying withdrew her hand from the middle-aged man's neck on the ground, stood up and said.

"Okay, okay!" After a moment of hesitation, Somei Shogo quickly took out his cell phone.

"Um, um, is this the police? There's been a murder here, yes, someone died, the address is..."

"Is it suicide?" Hoshino Terumi walked forward and asked Karasuma Ying.

In order not to disturb the scene, she put out the cigarette in her hand before she entered the living room.

Without answering her immediately, Wu Wanying walked to the dining table in the living room, looked at the overturned coffee cup on the table, and frowned slightly.

The cup was knocked over onto the plate, and the brown stain of solidified coffee spread onto the table and then along the other side of the table to the floor.

Judging from this scene alone, the producer should have been sitting at the dining table. He first drank the poisoned coffee, and then the poison took effect, causing the coffee cup in his hand to fall back on the table, spilling all the unfinished coffee inside.

Thinking of this, Karasuma Ying wrapped her hands with a white cloth and picked up the coffee cup and plate together.

If her guess was correct, there should be a "semicircular mark" on the table under the plate left by the coffee solidifying along the bottom of the plate.

Ugh?

why?

On the table under the plate, there was no "semicircular coffee solidification mark" as Wu Wanying expected, but only very strange "two marks like thin lines".

It was as if when the coffee was spilled, there were two long and thin objects placed here.

There was also no trace of coffee on the bottom of the plate.

This is illogical.

If the plate had really been placed here when the coffee was spilled, there would definitely be traces of coffee on the bottom.

In other words, when the coffee cup was knocked over, the plate... was not actually here?

The two strange long and thin marks on the table are actually the marks left on the side and handle of the coffee cup after the coffee solidified.

After a cup is knocked over, the sides and handles of the cup that are in close contact with the table can indeed leave such marks.

It can be further deduced that before she entered this living room, someone must have tampered with the crime scene here.

The door of the room was locked with a security chain, and the French window was locked from the inside... Considering these two points, there is currently only one person who can tamper with the crime scene.

Karasuma Ying looked back at Somei Shogo who was still calling the police, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"I think the possibility of homicide is greater." Putting the coffee cup back to its place, she answered Hoshino Terumi's question.

She walked to the other side of the table and examined the chair opposite her.

After the coffee cup fell over, the remaining coffee in the cup flowed along the table, almost all to the sides of the chair, and then flowed along the two cylindrical legs to the ground little by little, and finally left two circular coffee marks at the contact points of the chair legs and the ground.

【wrong! 】

These two coffee stains next to the chair legs are wrong!

The distance between the marks was too far, completely exceeding the maximum distance between the two chair legs.

However, there are indeed traces of coffee flowing on the chair legs, and the two traces on the ground should be the coffee flowing along...

Suddenly, Wu Wanying thought of a possibility.

This chair has been moved!

And it was at the very moment when the producer had just been poisoned!

There was another person sitting on this chair at that time!

After the producer took a poisonous effect, the coffee cup was knocked over and the coffee spilled along the table and onto the mysterious person who was sitting in the chair at the time and the chair.

At this point, some of the coffee had already flowed down the chair legs, forming traces on the ground.

Afterwards, the mysterious man got up and left. The chair was moved, and the remaining coffee on the chair flowed down along the moved chair legs, eventually forming a second trace on the ground!

This means that from the time the producer was poisoned to the time Karasuma Ying entered the living room, two people actually appeared and moved the crime scene.

The first one is the mysterious man who was present when the producer was poisoned and is suspected to be the murderer.

The second person was Somei Shogo, who had entered the room just a few minutes ago and covered the coffee stains on the table with a plate.

Why would Mr. Somei do such a thing?

What exactly is he trying to cover up?

"Karasuma sister! Why are you here too?!"

Soon, Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance who had received the report, arrived here.

"Huh? Well, because of some very complicated reasons..." Karasuma Ying said somewhat embarrassedly.

For some reason, she always felt like she and Inspector Megure were often meeting at murder scenes like this recently...

It's really embarrassing.

"You..." Inspector Megure looked at her and said with great sorrow: "As expected, you have become the second brother of Mori..."

"Ugh?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Has the murderer been found?"

"Murderer? Didn't the producer commit suicide?" Somei Shogo asked hurriedly.

"Ah? This... turned out to be suicide?" Inspector Megure looked at Karasuma Ying.

I was decisive and subconsciously thought that he had killed her.

"No, he should have been murdered." Wu Wanying replied with a slightly stern look in his eyes.

This murder case was somewhat complicated. First, the producer was poisoned. After the murderer locked the door from the inside, he quietly left the crime scene in an incredible way.

Afterwards, Somei Shogo rushed into the room first and covered up and destroyed the clues of the crime scene for unknown reasons.

Are the murderer and Somei Shogo the same person?

If so, how did he complete the layout of this secret room?

If not, then why would he destroy clues at the crime scene?

Cover up?

"Officer, the time of death of the deceased is out."

Just then, a police officer walked into the room and said to Inspector Megure:

"Preliminary speculation is that it should be around 6:30 this afternoon."

[Half past six?...]

It usually takes about an hour for the coffee to solidify, which means that the plate containing the coffee cups was not placed there until after 7:30 at the earliest.

This time basically coincides with the time when Somei Shogo entered the living room.

Can match.

"Xiaoying, the curtains here are wet."

Hoshino Terumi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window at some point. She reached out and touched the curtains that were wet by the rain, then turned around and said to Karasuma Ying.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanying hurried forward and opened the curtains.

At this time, it was still raining outside, and even through a layer of glass, you could vaguely hear the sound of the rain.

However, she had observed since entering the living room that the floor-to-ceiling windows had been closed all the time, so why were the curtains in the room wet?

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to me.

Wu Wanying quickly turned around and scanned the entire scene again.

Somei Shogo's wet shoulders, the knocked-over coffee cup, the moved plates, the strange coffee coagulation marks under the chair, the equally wet curtains...

There were also two pieces of cake that she had always ignored, which were cut and placed on the same plate on the table.

No, there must be something else. Where is it hidden?

His eyes swept across the room, and finally, on the coffee table in the corner, Wu Wanying noticed a pen holder full of pens.

The shape of this pen holder is very strange. It has a handle and looks exactly like the overturned coffee cup on the dining table.

It is called a pen holder, but it looks more like a cup for drinking water.

Looking at this special pen holder, Wu Wanying lowered her eyes. She still needed to confirm one last thing.

"Sister Huimei, can you call the TV station's front desk staff for me?"

Chapter 64 Does the truth matter? (Update)

"What do you want to ask?"

Walking to the corner of the living room with Karasuma Ying, Hoshino Terumi took out her cell phone and asked directly.

"I hope they can check the surveillance footage from this afternoon to see if Mr. Somei and Ms. Maiko left the TV station building?

If so, when did they return? "
