Conan's Almighty Extraction

Shiraiwa Maha looked away from Mr. Higashida's bed, and said to Police Officer Takagi: "Officer Takagi, it seems that Mr. Higashida is not lying. The murderer is probably Mr. Beichuan who sent him back to the apartment. But if you want to There are still some things to investigate to prove his murderer."

Officer Takagi scratched his head and asked, "That... what are we going to do now?"

After thinking for a while, Shiraiwa Maha made an arrangement: "Well, let's split up, Officer Takagi, you go to the nearby department store to investigate, and I will go to Mr. Beichuan's house to check the situation."

"Okay, I see."

Officer Takagi nodded, and took Conan to several nearby department stores, while Shiraiwa Maha went to Mr. Kitagawa's house alone to collect clues.

When Shiraiwa Maha came to Mr. Kitagawa's house, he found that Mr. Kitagawa was not there, so he opened the door with the lockpicking tool he brought with him, and sneaked into the room to check the situation.

"Sure enough, the receiving cable of the video recorder is missing a piece, and it should be the weapon used to strangle the little lady of the village."

"Huh? This is a photo of him and Miss Muranishi. They look quite close. Could it be that so?"

After collecting the necessary clues, Shiraiwa Maha left quietly, and after meeting with Officer Takagi and others who went to the department store to investigate and collect evidence, they waited for Mr. Beichuan's return outside the Beichuan family's residence.

……

The drunken Mr. Beichuan came back from outside, and when he saw Shiraiwa Maha and others waiting outside, his complexion suddenly turned cold, and he said impatiently: "You are the policeman from yesterday, what did you come to my house for? Didn't tell you Is it over? I have nothing more to say to you police."

Police officer Takagi smiled awkwardly, and explained: "That. I'm sorry, but I would like to ask you a few more questions about the situation when the body was found."

"I've said it all, because I didn't see Dongtian and Muranishi going to the company that day, and no one answered the phone, so I went to find them in person, but I didn't respond to the doorbell, so I went to the administrator I opened the door of Ms. Muranishi's room to check the situation, but I didn't expect that the chain lock was also locked."

"However, through the crack of the door, I saw Dongtian lying on the bed of Ms. Cunxi, so I woke him up by yelling a few times at the door, and then Dongtian opened the door for me and the administrator."

"After we entered the room, we found the murdered Ms. Muranishi in the bathroom, and then called the police. Okay, that's all I know, don't bother me anymore."

Mr. Beichuan narrated the situation impatiently, and was about to return to his home to rest.

Seeing that Mr. Beichuan was about to leave, Officer Takagi grabbed his arm and said, "Wait, Mr. Beichuan, I still have something to ask you."

Mr. Beichuan turned his head and said with a bad expression: "I said, Mr. Police Officer, why do you keep pestering me? You don't suspect that I killed Ms. Murani, do you?"

"Yes, we do suspect that you are the murderer."

Without waiting for Police Officer Takagi to speak, Shiraiwa Maha said bluntly: "Mr. Beichuan, you are the real murderer who killed Ms. Muranishi and then blamed Mr. Higashida."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Beichuan's complexion changed drastically, and he retorted sharply: "I didn't meet Miss Muranishi that night, how could I kill her!"

Shiraiwa Maha smiled lightly, and confirmed: "Before you came back, we have gone to a nearby department store to investigate, and you recently bought gray quilt covers, bed sheets and curtains there, and the employees of the department store can testify to this , I'm not wrong."

"Hmph, so what?"

Mr. Beichuan looked away slightly, and explained: "Because the bed sheets and curtains in my room are too old, so I bought new ones, but after I changed them, I didn't like it very much, so I gave them all to you." Throw it away, can't you?"

"Of course, but the color and style you chose are exactly the same as Mr. Higashida's, and why did Ms. Muranishi change the original beige sheets and curtains into the same gray as yours in Ms. Muranishi's room? I'm afraid it can't be a coincidence. Explain it. Don't talk, listen to my reasoning before speaking."

Shiraiwa Maha already had sufficient evidence, so he appeared to be confident. He reached out to stop Mr. Beichuan who was trying to defend himself, and reasoned: "First, you killed Miss Muranishi and hid her body in the bathroom."

"Secondly, you first remove the decorations in Ms. Muranishi's room that are easy to attract attention, such as the calendar and cactus that Mr. Higashida's disgusting soul has, and then change the bed sheets and curtains to the same gray as Mr. Higashida's bedroom, and then change the furniture. The location is also adjusted according to Mr. Dongtian's bedroom."

"Then, you invite Mr. Dongtian to have a drink, and when he gets drunk, help him into Miss Murashi's room."

"Because you have arranged this place to be almost the same as Mr. Dongtian's room, Mr. Dongtian, who was drunk, didn't notice it. After listening to your words and locking the chain lock, he just lay down on the bed and fell asleep."

After listening to Shiraiwa Maha's reasoning, Mr. Kitagawa's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he retorted: "How could this be the case? How do you explain the receiving line of the VCR that strangled Ms. Muranishi? Didn't the police say that there were only Higashida's fingerprints on it?" ?”

Shiraiwa Maha smiled slightly, and explained: "That's too simple. Mr. Dongtian is very proficient in video equipment, so you probably made an excuse to ask him to help you repair the video recorder, so that his fingerprints were left on it."

"It's nonsense," Mr. Beichuan's eyes were a little flustered, but his face still showed a look of disdain, and he said coldly, "If you say that I killed Cunxi, then you will show evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence. It's on your right thumb." Shiraiwa Maha raised his hand, pointing to Mr. Beichuan's right thumb wrapped in Band-Aid.

"What?!" Mr. Beichuan was startled, subconsciously covering his right thumb.

"Mr. Beichuan, Ms. Muranishi likes cacti very much, so even if you move them to the balcony, you won't break many cactus thorns carelessly. I think the wound on your hand should be left when you carried the cactus, right?"

Seeing Mr. Beichuan whose face gradually turned pale, Shiraiwa Maha pursued the victory and explained: "The cactus was given to Miss Muranishi by the owner of the izakaya that night. If you are not at the scene, you have to explain the blood on the broken thorn What? That is the strongest evidence to prove that you are the real murderer!"

Faced with the ironclad evidence given by Shiraiwa Maha, Mr. Kitagawa knelt down powerlessly and confessed that he killed Miss Muranishi because of her forced marriage.
