MTL - The Red Side is Always Blocking My Dog leash-Chapter 157
It was another murder case. After all, Conan was present. This case was nothing unusual except that the deceased was Okubo.
His body was soaked in the private hot spring of the room, and the cause of death was classic cyanide poisoning, but no residue of the poison was found except on his body, so the source could not be confirmed.
The identity of the deceased is unusual, and the police are naturally more diligent, trying to arrest the murderer who committed the crime and bring them to justice, and they will not hesitate to investigate and inquire overnight.
Toru Amuro, who was already low in pressure, was even lower when he learned the identity of the deceased.
The other party should have died tomorrow.
Of course, they wouldn't come over without any preparations. When the target was in place, they would use their brains to come up with a plan on the spot. In fact, Okubo's files had been checked before, including all the unknown things he did. . After all, in the information age, as long as you are willing to look for it, there will always be clues.
The three people who traveled with Okubo, one was his wife, the other was a sidekick who grew up together, and the other was his wife's plastic best friend. The four came here to relax and celebrate Okubo's promotion soon.
And these three people, without exception, have an intricate relationship with Okubo. Okubo has an affair with his wife's best friend. While he has a strong affection for his wife, he hangs his girlfriend with true love and divorced radishes. Recently, I have noticed that after talking to my best friend, the husband and wife had a big fight, and then got back together again. But what exactly happened is not very clear.
As for the follower, his college girlfriend was insulted by Okubo and Hu Pengguyou, and suffered severe psychological trauma. Later, he jumped off the building and committed suicide. Okubo didn't have the slightest remorse for this, and said with a smile that he wanted to find a new girlfriend for the follower. After more than ten years, he finally got out of the psychological shadow and made a new girlfriend. The two are very loving, and they have reached the point of talking about marriage. As a result, they recently scored twice.
Dare to travel with these three people, it can be said that Okubo is already full of buffs, just in case, Mr. A contacted the servant who was most likely to commit the murder, saying that he could assist the other party in revenge and help him get out of the crime, The valet had no choice but to accept it.
Regarding the way to start, a total of two plans have been prepared, one is poisoning and the other is shooting.
In the afternoon, things had been quietly put into the attendant's room. The various situations are clearly listed in the plan. It can be said that it is a guide to crime for fools. As long as the other party follows the plan obediently, the detective will still find out.
But no matter which plan, it should not be started tonight.
Although the plan was made by Mr. A, Toru Amuro has also seen it. There is not much objection to the opponent's use of a knife to kill.
This seemingly pitiful follower has benefited from Okubo in recent years, and has also helped the latter to do some shameful pickling. It can be said that he is a raccoon dog.
Amuro's purplish-gray eyes lightly swept across the man with his head lowered, his gaze stopped at the waist for a moment, his teeth were clenched, his face was sweating, and he almost wrote my suspicion on his face. But this tension is a bit different from the fear of being found out after committing a crime.
Judging from the personality in this profile, the other party is a typical obedient personality, conservative, cautious, not assertive, and habitually enduring, otherwise he would not continue to be Okubo's dog leg after that kind of thing happened. Year to now.
It is impossible for such a person to take the initiative to change the plan, that is to say, it is not him who poisoned and killed Okubo.
The other party was nervous just because he was afraid that he would be misunderstood as a murderer.
After answering the police inquiry, Mr. A kept slumped on the table and felt a gaze falling on him. He lifted his eyelids to look over and found that it was Subaru Okiya, so he frowned and gave him an angry look back. His expression was a little weird, and he quickly turned around as if nothing had happened.
Subaru Okiya came by an unfortunate coincidence. The old and new grudges were added together. The moment he opened the door, Amuro was dragged into the door to fight, and he almost broke the cat skin on his face. He repaired the mask, and the other party remained relatively silent until he was about to finish the repair, and he seemed to say something complicated: "Excuse me."
Mr. A: …
He retracted his hand, and when he turned around, he heard the other party's voice coming from behind: "kindly suggest that it is best to change to a high-necked dress, the kind that can cover your mouth."
Touching his mouth subconsciously, the stinging pain from his lips made him silent for a moment. He pulled out the mask he had bought from Owakudani and put it on. By the way, he looked at Toru Amuro with condemnation, and received an innocent shrug from the other party.
By the time they arrived at the restaurant serving as the temporary case handling office, the people had basically arrived. There were only about 30 guests in this hotel. Settle down when you identify.
Okubo is only a medical secretary, but the family behind him cannot be underestimated. For example, his uncle was a member of the cabinet, and his nephew died or was about to be promoted. It was hard to say what the outcome would be.
After Maori Kogoro revealed his identity, the scene quickly became orderly, and everyone was confident in solving the case, and the police organized the first round of inquiries.
Surprisingly, the forensics department on the other side quickly made new progress - the composition of cyanide was found in the hot spring water.
The face of the owner of the hot spring hotel changed, and the expressions of the guests were also difficult to look at. Especially those who were in the hot spring just now, there was a riot at the scene.
Soon the forensic officer added: "It's a private hot spring in a room. It should have just been polluted and not spread."
Follower Nohara lowered his head and his body trembled, but everyone's attention was elsewhere. Except for a few people, none of them noticed anything unusual about him.
too fast. Amuro couldn't help frowning, how panicked this guy was to throw the poison into the hot spring and carry the gun on him?
The opponent's psychological capacity is average, and he has a gun on his body. If he makes a rash move, it may irritate the other party. Once the fire escapes in this kind of place, it is not a joke. He originally planned to find a chance to subdue Nohara, but the forensics department discovered it too quickly - this No wonder the police, this guy is too stupid.
Mr. A pinched the mask and deeply regretted his hasty choice.
Knowing that he couldn't support the wall with such mud, even if he was looking for his best friend, it would be a hundred times better than looking for the other party.
In other words, even if they did nothing, Nohara would probably die.
Blame it on the other party for choosing a place with Conan on vacation.
Toru Amuro approached Nohara by taking advantage of the invisibility of the crowd. The forensics department had finished saying the room number. The hotel owner was sweating profusely after checking the system, and loudly said, "Nohara Ryosuke! The murderer is Nohara Ryosuke!"
A loud roar came from a distance: "It's not me!"
Nohara was sweating profusely, his face flushed, his whole person seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and what he said seemed to be hysterical sophistry, naturally no one believed it.
Because of his unusual performance, the nearby guests stayed away one after another, urging the police to come forward: "Quickly catch him!"
"It's terrible, he won't attack people suddenly."
"Looks like a lunatic..."
Although Hattori Heiji and Conan don't think he is the culprit. However, the state of the other party is really not right, it is better to control it as soon as possible, so there is no opening.
The approach of the police obviously stimulated Nohara. His eyes were red, and he took out a Smith & Wilson revolver from his waist. Amid the panicked screams of the crowd, the other party's trembling fingers pulled the trigger.
The sound of gunfire came into my ears, and the screams came one after another.
The muzzle of the other party's gun was too fluttering, and Amuro Toru couldn't immediately judge the direction of the bullet. He took a beat and rushed towards the male college student who was about to be shot. The distance between the two was very close.
But the gun will only be faster. The best result is that he takes the other party to dodge the bullet together. The bad thing is that the bullet arrives as soon as he arrives. The worst result is that the bullet is one step ahead of him.
Judging from the current situation, it is likely to be good or bad, which is actually the best. Because the bullet didn't hit and continued to fly forward, sooner or later it would hit something else—
Just as these thoughts passed through his mind, a figure rushed out of the crowd and met the bullet halfway. Because of the recoil, he paused for a while and continued to move forward.
The unfortunate male college student who had just snatched the book from his face was still in a daze, and was pushed to the ground. Amuro didn't have time to apologize, and with the second shot, he stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. go.
Nohara was already crushed to the ground, his revolver fell to the side, and he was kicked by a foot to the policeman's side. The figure standing there caught his eye, his lips opened and closed, but his throat was dry and could not make any sound.
"Fujita!" Hattori Heiji's eyes widened, "Hey! Why are you still standing there, call the medical care to save people!"
Everyone just woke up like a dream. Some police officers rushed forward to take over Nohara from the other side, while others came forward but didn't know what to do. The wounded was more calm than them, and picked up a thick book from the ground. The book indicated that there was a penetrating hole on it, and when the bullet hit him after the first round of blocking, there was basically no damage.
When the second bullet came out of the chamber, he hit the opponent's hand with a book, and the muzzle went up, only rubbing his side face and a little ear.
After all, he has come from all kinds of bullets, and what kind of bullets should hit where he is too experienced, Jun A was about to open his mouth, when he was suddenly pressed into his arms, Anshitou's voice was a little bit gnashing: " How dare you rush forward?"
What kind of person can shoot when the other side. He didn't want to hide or save people. Instead, he rushed in the direction of the muzzle, and he didn't even think about it. The other party acted before the shot was fired.
Mr. A was closer than him at the time. If he just went to save people... As I said before, the crowd is so dense that someone else will be hit sooner or later.
So it seems that the other party's approach is indeed the best, and the price of two minor injuries subdued the person.
Amuro just didn't understand what he was thinking, too sacrificial for a criminal - well, he's also a policeman, ex? Police.
A Jun licked his lips, feeling a little tingling. The shot just now broke his mask. He pressed his chin against the other's well-trained chest and smiled: "I saw you coming this way just now. rushed."
So it is half a catty and eighty taels, and no one can say who.
If it weren't for his quick reaction, Amuro would have been shot in first aid.
And... his eyes floated, this guy's weapons were all given by him. If it weren't for this, this accident would not have happened today. The target was really accidentally murdered and died, and it was his superfluous act.
Mainly because I didn't expect this person to pull like this.
The doctor who had followed the ambulance rushed to the scene and pulled Amuro away on the spot to treat his wound. Half of his clothes were cut, and the black-haired boy suddenly jumped away as if he had been burned, covering the wound, "No. No, I'm fine, in fact, only a little bit of skin is broken, and it will be fine soon if you leave it alone."
doctor:…
He did seem to have seen... uh, some kind of trace just now.
The injury is indeed not serious, but compared to the normal gunshot wound, the opponent's degree is not enough to leave it alone.
The doctor put his eyes on his face, and then looked at the guy who frowned to confirm the boy's wound.
The doctor looked serious: "this classmate, how old are you?"
Mr. A: "Twenty-two."
is of legal age and does not require legal aid.
Everything happened too fast, the unlucky male college student didn't realize that he had just passed the **** of death, he covered his knocked head, and fell into a long silence when he looked at the book with a bullet hole: "I told the teacher to be honest, he Will you believe me?"
The friend patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Condolences."
The thrilling scene just now shocked everyone present to varying degrees. The police quickly organized manpower to apprehend and control Nohara while appeasing and evacuating the guests. The doctor forcibly took Mr. A to the next lounge and treated several wounds. After a moment, he was put on a blanket again, and a glass of juice provided by the hotel owner was tucked in his hand.
Mr. A: …
The black-haired boy was covered with an orange blanket, and a piece of gauze was pasted with medical tape on his left cheek, making him look inexplicably like a stray boy, so he received extra attention.
"Orange can make people feel soothed and help the victim stabilize their emotions." After the family members came in, the others quickly went out and left the space for them. Amuro closed the door, turned and leaned behind the door, in a tone of condolence to the victim. "Are you feeling better?" joked.
"I don't feel very well, Mr. Officer." The juice was put aside, A-jun opened his arms, the orange blanket slid halfway down because of his movements, and he showed a pitiful expression to Amuro, "I think I need a hug, Can you help me?"
The blond young man pursed his lips and looked at him for a while, then finally sighed, stood up and walked over, lifted the blanket and put it on again, then hugged him with the blanket, his face was pressed against his chest by the other party, and he was forced to feel it. Take a look at the results of the two muscles.
The air was quiet for a while, and Jun A said, "Before..."
"It's alright, it's been dealt with." Anshitou knew what he wanted to ask, "I knew it would be exposed and rushed forward, don't you think it's a bit late to worry now?"
"I didn't have time to think about it at the time, didn't you still do the same?"
As a criminal who destroys his conscience, it is very inappropriate to sacrifice his life to save people or risk subduing criminals. Mr. A hesitated for a while and asked, "Have you dealt with people?"
His anti-tracking ability is not very good. From yesterday to now, he only faintly felt that someone was paying attention to them secretly. He only discovered who it was when Tou Amuro pointed it out.
"Of course not," Amuro said. "We just reached a consensus."
"Wait, Henggou Police Department, we can't let them go yet."
The red-haired woman, Okubo's wife looked at the high school student blocking the road, her eyes were a little red, "You are a detective... right? Do you have any advice?"
The girlfriend's tone was very bad: "Sha Mei just encountered this kind of thing, and what she needs most now is to rest, get out of the way... Please can you respect others? Police, hey, drive this guy away!"
"Heiji!" Yuan Shan and Ye called him nervously.
"It's okay..." Hattori Heiji took a step back, took the time to comfort her, and continued, "This case hasn't been solved yet! Wait a minute, don't pull me, I'm serious!"
He gestured to Conan with his eyes, but the other party was a little dazed, and it took a while to react until he was forcibly dragged aside by the police, and the calm voice of Kogoro Mouri came.
"He's right, it wasn't Nohara who killed, the real murderer is someone else!"
Mouri Kogoro was also taken aback by his own voice, and soon the back of his neck became cold, and the familiar feeling of dizziness appeared, "Ah...and..."
As the police department who led the team, Henggou Chongwu had fought several times with Mouri Kogoro.
Although he doesn't like detectives, he still recognizes Kogoro Mouri's ability. So he waved his hand to let his subordinates release Hattori Heiji, "What do you think?"
"When the deceased was found, the body was soaked in the hot spring, and the time of death was about an hour ago. Because of the long soaking, it is impossible to directly determine the way the poison entered the body, but the possibilities are nothing more than breathing, eating, and contact. First, there are no conditions to generate lethally high concentrations of gas, and secondly, if he is exposed to poisoning, he should have been poisoned before he took off his clothes and entered the hot spring, so the poison should be taken orally."
They had simply examined the corpse before.
There is no forensic doctor to perform an autopsy, otherwise you can find out from the stomach of the deceased what the other person ate, but it is not necessary now.
Conan continued: "If the culprit is Nohara, he has never entered Okubo's room from beginning to end, and the poison can be placed in the food at other times. But there should be packaging or containers left at the scene. . Because the other party has no chance to go to the scene to deal with these things."
Sammy twisted her fingers nervously: "Sure enough, Nohara-kun is not someone who would do such a thing, but..."
But where did he get the gun from?
"Why is he not such a person? Why did the person who didn't kill him react so much? And that guy even has a gun in his hand!"
Compared to Shamei's cooperation, her best friend showed great disdain, "What kind of a detective, I think you have a problem with your brain, making a stunt for fame, who else can kill other than Nohara. Do you want to say it's me and Shamei. Did one of them kill Okubo-kun? It's ridiculous!"
Hattori Heiji asked: "When I asked before, Miss Saito said that she had not been to the room of the deceased. In fact, did she lie?"
Saito's expression froze, she subconsciously glanced at Sammy next to her, and gritted her teeth: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You should know that there are surveillance cameras in the corridors of the hotel?"
Saito: "I just stayed inside for five minutes! I was talking to Okubo-kun about Sami, yes, because he made Sami sad before, I was very angry, so I warned him to be nice to Sami in the future! Sami, you Believe me!"
Sammy was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand...Rio is my best friend, I believe in you."
Saito breathed a sigh of relief, and she glared at Hattori Heiji: "I didn't kill it! If you doubt me, show the evidence!"
Hattori Heiji hugged his chest and gestured to the female police officer: "Can I trouble you to search her body?"
The female police officer looked at her boss, and Henggou nodded again.
Saito snorted coldly and walked to the empty room with the female police officer.
Sammy, who stayed here, kept watching her disappear at the door of the restaurant, and said nervously: "Do you suspect that Lixu is a prisoner? She wouldn't do such a thing, Lixu wouldn't even dare to kill an animal, how could he kill someone? ?"
Mouri Kogoro said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, we will not slander any good person, and we will definitely find the real murderer."
Soon a sharp female voice came, and sentences such as impossible and let go could be vaguely heard.
A police officer came back soon: "Report to the police department, I found two pieces of fruit candy and a piece of candy wrapper on Miss Saito's body. After opening the fruit candy inside, there are powdery solids. After testing, it was confirmed that it contained sodium cyanide. Ingredients. No other items have been found for the time being and are still being tested."
Henggou Chongwu narrowed his eyes, when a small exclamation sounded next to him, Yuan Shan and Ye said: "Mr. Okiya, didn't Miss Saito give you a piece of candy before? You didn't eat it, did you?"
"No..." The pink-haired graduate student took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and explained to the police department who came over: "Because I have low blood sugar and I was afraid of fainting when I was in the hot spring, Miss Saito kindly gave me a piece of candy after hearing that. , but because I still didn't go to the hot spring, I kept it in my pocket."
This piece of candy was taken away as evidence, and Henggou re-enlightened: "That is to say, the culprit is Rio Saito, she knows that the other party has low blood sugar. So she gave the poisoned fruit candy to the deceased, expecting that the deceased would be soaking Eat it during the hot spring, and then go to the deceased's room to collect the candy wrappers and leave."
He paused, wondering why the other party didn't take advantage of this period of time to dispose of the evidence, but instead kept it with him.
It's just that the sugar can be flushed directly into the toilet by wrapping it in something else, and it is difficult for the police to find such a small thing from the sewer.
When Maorilan raised this doubt, Maori Kogoro said: "Because she doesn't know that sugar is poisonous. Henggou Police Department, can you let me take a look at that sugar?"
After seeing the candy paper, Kogoro Mouri continued: "Now we can confirm who the real murderer is."
Hattori Heiji pointed to someone: "That's you, Miss Sami Okubo!"
Sha Mei's pupils shrank, and she forced a smile: "How, how is it possible, there must be something wrong, how could I kill my husband? An accusation without evidence is a slander."
"Look carefully, the packaging of Okiya's candy is different from those found on Saito." Kogoro Mouri said.
"Really, the location of the text marking the flavor is different, and the pattern is slightly different. But if you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all."
"Ms. Saito said that when she gave the candy to Mr. Okiya." Hattori Heiji said, "This brand of candy has been updated, and it is said that the taste has also changed. Fortunately, I bought it early, and he still likes the taste. But now a new candy has been found from her."
Sammy's face changed instantly.
Mao Lilan suddenly said: "That is to say, the murderer replaced Miss Saito's sugar with poisonous sugar. But I didn't realize that the two kinds of sugar are different."
Hattori Heiji nodded affirmatively, "That's right, there aren't many people who can quietly swap things out on her, or just find out who bought this kind of candy here, the murderer—"
"Needless to say." Okubo Sami said, "I didn't expect that something went wrong here—yes, it was my poison."
"I already knew that **** was messing around behind my back, I don't care, but he shouldn't have hit Saito Rio, he didn't know yet, he told me... he How did she deceive her, and how naively and foolishly she believed his rhetoric."
"Rio is my best friend. In high school, because of his introverted personality, he encountered school violence. It was Rio who took the initiative to befriend me and drove those people away. Okubo dared to take action against her, so he must be ready for revenge. preparation."
"Rio is also wrong. She was deceived, but she shouldn't hide it from me. She thought she would marry Okubo. Because that person kept saying that he really loves her. So she can betray our friendship for this, What an idiot to be his underground lover for so many years..."
"You're not in the right state today, Gong and Conan, why are you so absent-minded?" Hattori Heiji swallowed the remaining syllables while staring at him.
Conan shook his head tiredly: "It's okay."
Can he say that he was surprised by Fujita Yangxi's bravery?
Although it was cracked once last night because of the snowman, the criminals have diverse personalities, so it is not surprising to have this one. It can be seen that the bravery is different—
If you have such a sense of justice and a spirit of sacrifice, why would you be a criminal? Wouldn't it be better to be a policeman?
Hattori Heiji looked at him suspiciously: "Is it because of Fujita?"
"Since you're worried about him, just go and have a look. I'll be there too. To be honest, I didn't see how he subdued that guy just now. He looked very thin. , Ordinary people don't have such skills, right? He is still in school, is it possible that he went to the police academy?"
Conan: …
It's not a normal person, but it's the exact opposite of the police.
Hattori Heiji thought for a while, "But I don't remember him lying on the table listlessly?"
That place was almost across the entire restaurant from Nohara, but after a while, the other party came to the vicinity of Nohara, he quickly found a reasonable explanation: "It really is a police academy student, he sensed something was wrong, so he went to check it out. .I also thought the guy was a little nervous at the time.
But I don't think the murderer is him. He is not afraid of the shadow, and we will not slander him for no reason... I didn't expect his psychological endurance to be so poor. "
"That's right, I have a gun on me at this time, and I'm nervous too." Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "What does that guy do with a gun when he goes on a tour? He still holds a gun without a license."
Conan's words came into his left ear and right out, and his thoughts had long since drifted to other places.
The target of those two people this time is probably Okubo. Nohara's gun and poison came from them. They also borrowed a knife to kill, but Sami wants to take the lead. Why would the other party do that?
It's okay to change to Amuro Toru... By the way, Amuro Toru.
He was a little far from there at the time, and the altitude was low and he couldn't see much. But just now I heard a college student mourning his lost books and homework. The other party also complained that he was knocked down by a blond hair, and the other party didn't even apologize.
So it's because of Toru Amuro?
The avoided bullet may also hit other people. Taking this into account, Amuro is likely to block it by himself, and the other party has already expected this situation. He blamed himself for the casualties of the people, so he took the risk and subdued them.
Do you like it that much?
I always felt that even if Montes backstabbed the organization for Amuro in the future, he would only sigh - as expected.
