Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 231 The Legend of the Five Towers (5)

"President, why did you have an accident so soon, if you wait for me a little longer, you will be fine."

Manager Kajimura cried very sadly, and howled loudly at the top of his voice. People who didn't know saw it and thought it was his dearest relative who had passed away.

Looking at Manager Kajimura with a sad expression on his face, Officer Henggou coughed lightly and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Seeing Officer Henggou questioning him, Manager Kajimura quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes, stood up and replied, "That's right, Mr. Police, my name is Yosuke Kajimura, and I am currently Mr. Oda's hotel manager."

"The hotel manager?"

Police officer Henggou looked Mr. Kajimura up and down for a while, then frowned and asked, "Then did you meet Mr. Oda last night?"

Manager Kajimura shook his head and replied: "No, I went to Tokyo on a business trip yesterday. Mr. Mori should be able to testify to me on this point. They know that I was sent to Tokyo on a business trip by Boss Oda."

Police officer Yokomizo and Mori Kogoro confirmed, and after confirming the words of Manager Kajimura, they asked again: "Then do you know what might be the motive of Mr. Oda's suicide?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kajimura Manager replied: "To be honest, the purpose of my business trip this time is to raise funds. If we fail to raise money, our company will lose its reputation by the end of this month because of writing a bad check. I think the president is also very troubled by this."

Bai Yanzhenyu frowned, and interjected: "No, I see that when we had dinner together last night, Mr. Oda had a large amount of cash with him, didn't he?"

"Actually, it's all intentional to support the scene. Our president has always thought highly of himself, and even if he has troubles, he won't let others know, so he will bluff more or less sometimes."

Manager Kajimura sighed, revealed the real situation of Boss Oda, and then guessed: "As for the motive of suicide, I guess it may be that last night, because of the issue of the temple, he made a fuss to the point of going to the law. It's out of proportion."

After listening to Manager Kajimura's words, Police Officer Henggou said clearly: "In other words, Mr. Oda probably couldn't think about it last night because the company's financial problems could not be solved, so he chose to hang himself here."

"Officer Henggou, I think it might not be as simple as suicide."

After thinking about the information obtained by the purpose, Bai Yanmao reminded: "I just looked at it, and a very valuable pin on the deceased's wallet and tie is missing. Mr. Oda should not collect them because of the face-saving characteristics of Mr. Oda. Get up."

Police officer Henggou turned his head to look at Baiyan Mau, and asked in confusion, "Brother Baiyan, what kind of pin are you talking about?"

Shiraiwa Maha pointed to the empty tie on the corpse, and explained: "Yesterday, Mr. Oda invited us to dinner. At that time, there was a brooch inlaid with diamonds on his tie, but it was not found on this corpse."

Officer Henggou rubbed his chin and guessed, "Could it be that the deceased probably met a robber before he died?"

"No, it's just a guess, but it's unlikely."

Bai Yanzhenyu looked at the neck of the corpse, and found that there was only a scar from a rope, and explained: "If the deceased was strangled to death, then he must have struggled before death, and there is no trace of struggle on the corpse."

Mori Kogoro smiled confidently, and asked back: "Maha, if this is a homicide, what method did the murderer use to transport the body to the top of the five-storied pagoda?"

Before Baiyan Zhenyu could reply, Danhai, who had finished the ceremony, came over and said with a cold snort, "This is God's will. Sooner or later, the gods will punish those who are not faithful with the most severe punishment."

Police officer Henggou glanced at Danhai as the host, then at Chunhai and Uncle Okabe who followed, and asked, "What were the three of you doing between three and four in the morning?"

Chun Hai glanced at Boss Oda's body in disgust, and said impatiently, "Mr. Police, why are you asking this? Didn't that bastard Oda commit suicide?"

Officer Henggou looked businesslike and explained: "No, we haven't made a formal conclusion yet, and there may be a lot of property missing from the deceased, so we need to investigate everyone."

After hearing the words of police officer Henggou, Danhai host seemed to be insulted, and said angrily: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I, a monk, go back and steal other people's property?"

Officer Henggou quickly waved his hand and explained, "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to hear your alibi according to the regulations."

"Hmph, maybe your purpose is to want me to say that I met that scumbag."

Abbot Danhai snorted coldly with disdain, and then replied: "Unfortunately, I was reciting scriptures in the main hall at that time."

"Chanting? You mean you started reciting so early, right?"

Regarding Abbot Danhai's answer, Police Officer Henggou was very skeptical. No matter how diligent the monk was, he would not chant sutras during that time period.

"That's because I have a hunch that the gods are going to show their power and punish the wicked." Host Danhai smiled sinisterly, and gave a more mysterious answer.

Officer Henggou rolled his eyes, then stopped asking him, and started asking the other two.

After standing there thinking for a while, Chunhai recalled: "I was still sleeping at that time, and I didn't get up until five o'clock. Not long after, Okabe came to tell me that something happened, saying that Oda died."

"I was also sleeping at the time. When I got up, I found Mr. Oda hanging from the top of the tower. I was really shocked, so I called Mr. Mori immediately." Uncle Okabe followed up and answered, his eyes There is still a trace of fear that has not dissipated.

Officer Henggou looked at Uncle Okabe in confusion, and asked, "Mr. Okabe, after you found the body, why didn't you call the police instead of calling Mr. Mori first?"

"This." Uncle Okabe scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment: "Because I just met such a famous detective as Mr. Mori yesterday, so after encountering such a thing, I subconsciously contacted Mr. Mori."

Host Danhai looked at the police officers who were searching around, and said with a look of disgust: "I said, have you asked? According to this big detective, Oda committed suicide, so you should settle the case quickly, and don't stay here to affect The cleanliness of our temple."

While police officer Henggou was talking with Danhai host and others, Shiraiwa Maha and Conan continued to search for clues, and soon found several clues that the police hadn't noticed.
