Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 1073

Kyoto, at night.

Yajima Mansion is an Edo-style courtyard built on the edge of a bamboo forest, with many brightly colored trees and maple leaves all over it.

"The estimated time of death is around 6 o'clock this morning, and the body was discovered at 8 o'clock in the afternoon 2 hours later, that is, after the explosion of the Nibu TV building in Osaka."

Gao Cheng followed the Kyoto Prefectural Police into the Yajima mansion, led by the police officer Ayanokōji who had met once, and still carried the squirrel with him like last time.

"Pay attention to the things under your feet that have been destroyed by exaggeration."

"Is it a burglary?" Azhibo asked while avoiding the debris scattered all over the floor.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it is indeed possible that it was robbery and murder," Ayanokōji nodded. "Someone invaded this mansion for money, but they ran into Mr. Yajima head-on. In desperation, the murderer used what he had planned to steal. killed him with a Japanese sword and fled with the money..."

Gao Cheng silently observed the scene from behind.

What kind of robber would rummage through the entrance and make a mess in the house, making it inconvenient to walk.

It looks more like someone deliberately disguised the scene.

Entering the room at the scene of the crime, Ayanokōji took the murder weapon, the Japanese sword, wrapped by the forensic personnel.

"The forensic work is over, you can do whatever you want to investigate, but we have to recover the Japanese sword used as the murder weapon, and Yajima's body cannot be destroyed."

"understood."

Hattori and Conan nodded yes, and finally Ayanokōji left Yajima Mansion after leaving a forensic officer to look after the scene.

"I'll wait for you outside, and let me know if you find anything," Ling Xiaolu said.

Yajima's body lay on blood-stained tatami mats, surrounded by karaoke cards, a TV remote control and an overturned TV.

Gao Cheng immediately checked the condition of the corpse.

The fatal wound was on the head, and there was more than one wound. It can be seen that the fatal wound was the second time. The murderer did not draw the knife, but directly hit the person with the scabbard. The first time was in the middle of the head. According to the police investigation , It seems that the knife cannot be pulled out due to rust.

Whoa!
As Gao Cheng's fingers touched the body, the scene seemed to return to the moment of the crime...

The wooden floor in the corridor outside creaked and creaked. Yajima, who was watching TV and playing Kata, got up and walked to the door to open the door, but was hit on the head by a Japanese knife, and the blood spattered. cards, the scene was messy, and then the murderer came in and shot again.

Gao Cheng glanced at the sporadic bloodstains at the door, the corpse, the scattered song cards, the remote control that had been moved beside the blood pool of the corpse, the moving bloodstains left on the tatami, and the bloodstain on the right hand of the corpse...

No, a third person entered the scene afterwards.

"Although there is nothing to say at the scene, but this right hand," Conan took a photo with the camera, "it feels like something with blood on it was forcibly taken away."

"That's right," Hattori observed, "Speaking of the blood-stained thing in this room, it's the song card. It seems that the murderer who sensed the news of death hid it in the song cards all over the floor, and he wants to find it from there. That card is quite troublesome."

"If it's Dr. Ali, it should be possible to use a computer to analyze it."

Conan took pictures of the song cards one by one, and looked at Gao Cheng who was still there, and found that Gao Cheng's attention seemed to be no longer on the song cards.

Huh?
"And this remote control," Hattori saw the remote control moved by the pool of blood, and asked the forensic personnel, "Excuse me, I want to help this TV set up, is that okay?"

"Well, please."

"If he had used the remote control before he was killed, there would have been something playing on the TV."

Hattori stepped forward to hold up the TV, turned it on again, and was surprised to find that it was the scene of Ooka Momiji's kotaka showdown.

"Did Yajima-san watch this before he was attacked? It looks like an old game..."

"It's a collection of the 15th to 20th high school students' Satsuki Cup competition," Conan wondered after checking the disc, "Why would Mr. Yajima watch this?"

"About this," Azhibo explained, "in the finals, the level of both sides of the competition is very high. From the planning of skills to the arrangement of singing cards, even just looking at them can benefit a lot. This should have nothing to do with the murder incident. Bar?"

"But this is the Gaoyue cup for high school students."

"Don't underestimate, even if it's just a high school student, Koyo Ooka's ability is actually not weaker than Yajima."

"Is that so?"

Conan looked at Azhibo deeply and didn't ask any more questions.

He never thought that Azhibo would be a prisoner, but he thought that Azhibo should know something.

Several forensic personnel covered the body with a sheet of tarpaulin, which meant that their investigation had come to an end, and Gao Cheng did not intend to stay any longer, but only checked all the song cards one by one for the last time.

Yajima didn't have time to leave a death message, and as a half-forensic expert, he was sure of it.

And Yajima really wanted to leave a message, so it shouldn't be so obvious to hold it directly in his hand. It's more like a song card that someone put on it after being killed, but was taken away by a third party and mixed on the ground after the blood dried up.

Of course, these are just his speculations, because he doesn't quite understand the behavior of the third party.

The murderer committed the crime very calmly, he could feel it, but the third party seemed to be helping the murderer destroy the evidence.

If there is any possibility, it is that the murderer faked the scene and framed it, and the third party had to do this kind of behavior, so the understanding is much clearer.

It makes sense logically.

"President!"

A young man suddenly came outside the Yajima mansion, and had a little conflict with the police, saying that he was a member of the Satsuki Society and came to find President Achiha.

"Gugen!" Azhibo just walked out of the mansion and said sternly after seeing the young man, "What were you doing before? I've been in contact several times!"

"I'm sorry, President," Guan Gen apologized hastily, "I was drunk last night, and accidentally fell asleep before my phone was fully charged. When I woke up, I saw the news that the TV station had exploded. Contact the Association Later, I heard that the president was at Yajima's house and was looking for me..."

Hattori and Conan followed Achiha, looking closely at Sekine at the same time.

What this guy said was like reading from a script. It was obviously a pre-prepared speech. It sounded reasonable, but he said too much, and the explanation was just to cover up...

"I ran over in a panic and found that there were policemen outside," Guan Gen continued, "President, did something happen to Yajima?"

"Yajima was killed," Achiha said in a deep voice, "It seems that a robber did it. He killed Yajima with a knife in the corridor."

Sekine is what Achiha mentioned in the studio before. Yajima's substitute, full name Sekine Yasushi, is a photographer. Like Ooka Koyo, he joined the Satsuki Club after the dissolution of the Nagoro Club.

In the past two years, Sekine and Yajima have been rivals, and they have played against each other in the Satsuki Cup finals for two consecutive years.

"I lost the previous two years, but I still want to beat him this year," Sekone regretted, "I can no longer compete with him..."

"About the competition," Azhibo pondered, "I'm still thinking about what to do, after all, so many things have happened..."

"You can't give up, President!" Sekine said anxiously, "If the traditional Satsuki Cup is suspended because of Yajima's death, wouldn't it be for the murderer to succeed? Yajima would have been beaten to death in vain!"

"Guan Gen, be careful what you say!" Azhibo said angrily.

The Kyoto Prefecture police still have something to ask about Sekine, who has the motive for the murder and whether there is an alibi. Azhiha will also return to the Osaka Hotel later. Hattori and Conan discussed privately. Ooka red leaves.

These few people are the main members of the Gaoyuehui, and they are also the key to this incident.

"This guy is probably the one who killed Yajima," Conan stared at Sekine's figure leaving after Ayanokouji, "but it's too early to push the bombing of the TV station that targeted the Satsuki Society to him."

"Yes," Hattori nodded, "As for Mr. Achiha and Hongye, according to the decision just now, surveillance should be safer. Mr. Achiha lives in the New Otani Hotel in Osaka like you, and I will leave it to you... Hey, Shiro Hu, what are you in a daze for?"

"It's nothing."

Gao Cheng is not ready to express his opinion for the time being.

Even if Hattori didn't say anything, he was going to monitor Azhibo.
