A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 86
Henggou Sango is worthy of being an experienced policeman. After investigating the situation at the scene, he decisively stated that Hirota Masami died in an accident.

The evidence was that the bookshelf fell not far from the corpse, and there was no sign of a fight in the house. He speculated that Masami Hirota probably touched the bookshelf accidentally when he was looking for books on the top of the bookshelf, and was hit in the back of the head by a trophy in a panic.

The weight of the trophy is very heavy. If you consider the gravity and the height of the bookshelf, it is indeed possible to kill people.

What Conan wondered was whether it was really such a coincidence, what if it was deliberately designed by the murderer.

When he saw several policemen tidying up the scene, Conan found that the key was pressed under the book.

"Officer Henggou, this may not be an accident."

"how do you know."

"Look, if Professor Hirota died in an accident, how could the key he carried be stained with blood, and it was so far away from the body, it couldn't have fallen on the ground and rolled here, and it was covered by an open book Come on, this is probably the scene where the murderer intentionally faked it, this is a secret room murder."

"what!"

After hearing Conan's explanation, Henggou Shenwu's face changed in surprise. He was too careless to miss this detail. He looked at Conan with surprise in his eyes. This child has extraordinary observation skills.

"No, who let this child enter the scene, can this bloody scene be seen by the child, and take it out quickly."

Noah led the two children out, and was scolded by police officer Henggou. The other party had good intentions, but he misjudged the two children around him.

One is a famous detective who encounters cases as much as he eats, and the other is a dark organization scientist who often conducts drug experiments. They probably look at corpses more often than the police.

"Are you saying that Masami Hirota was killed by someone from the organization?"

"It's possible. If the organization's database contains the information I sent to my sister's disk, it is likely that the database will be re-investigated due to my defection. They will definitely come here to investigate."

"During the investigation, I happened to meet Professor Hirota, and then killed him."

In order to explore whether the reasoning is correct or not, Conan took advantage of the police's negligence and sneaked into the scene of the crime again.

Soon a new discovery was made.

"Officer Henggou, this phone has been flashing. Is this a call to leave a message?"

"Well, that's true."

Henggou ignored the fact that Conan sneaked into the scene again, and what he cared about was that the child found a new clue under the book.

Thinking that the other party is a child of the Maori family, I can't help but sigh that Mr. Maori's education for children is really special.

"Sir, there are a total of thirteen messages here."

"Well, so many."

Henggou and the others patiently listened to each message one by one, but finally found that only three messages were spoken, and the other ten messages were all blank.

The three messages were for Akira Shirakura who was already here, and the remaining two were for men named Xisao and Shizuoka. Henggou went to ask the servant about the specific situation.

"Professor Hirota received several guests this afternoon."

"I don't know about this, because Professor Hirota usually likes to drink, and every time he drinks, he will let me leave here and come back at night. When I left today, no one at home came."

"Then do you know anyone with Xizai and Shizuoka in their names?"

"I know this. They are all the master's students and often come to visit the master. As for whether they are here today, I don't know."

The police dialed Shizuo and Shizuoka through a message, and learned that they had been here, told them what happened here, and asked them to come again.

Seisho and Shizuoka are relatively older, and they were Hirota Masami's early students.

"What happened, Professor Hirota was fine when I came in the afternoon."

Xisi was the first to arrive. He said he arrived around four o'clock in the afternoon, stayed here for a while and then left.

Shizuoka came around six o'clock. When he came, Professor Hirota was obviously drunk, a little confused, unable to communicate at all, and left soon.

The last guests were the doctor and others and Bai Cangming who came shortly afterwards. Police officer Henggou looked at the doctor and the others with scrutiny.

The doctor shook his head and waved his hands and quickly explained.

"When we arrived from Tokyo, the servant was already at home, and have you ever seen a murderer with a child?"

"That's true."

The servant explained that Masami Hirota was still greeting her when she came back, but when he brought the doctors up, they were already dead.

The case has reached a stalemate again, and now they have not discovered how the secret room was formed, let alone the murderer.

Noah and Huiyuan sat in the living room downstairs, tasting the snacks and tea brought by the servants, not caring about the case upstairs at all.

It wasn't that they didn't want to participate, but that police officer Henggou didn't allow him to approach the scene of the crime, except for a better attitude towards Conan and a business-like look towards them.

"You lost again, Xiao Ai, you don't know anything about chess."

"One more game, I've almost learned it, and I can beat you right away."

The scene Conan saw when he went downstairs was that the two were playing chess intently, and the expressions on their faces revealed the joy in their hearts.

"The two of you are really leisurely. I'm exhausted looking for clues, but you are lucky to play chess here."

"I want to help you, but the reality doesn't allow it. Look at the attitude of the Henggou police officer towards us. That's what Strangers Don't Get Close to said."

Seeing that the two stopped talking to him and continued to study the chessboard seriously, Conan turned around and prepared to go upstairs to investigate the case.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Huiyuan secretly moving his chess pieces, he couldn't help but laugh, and wanted to start a joke.

A flash of inspiration flashed through Breakthrough's mind, thinking of the chess at the scene of the crime, he understood how the murderer made an alibi.

He hurried upstairs and shared his discovery with police officer Henggou, saying that it was the result of his pointing after he told Uncle Mao Li, Henggou's face that didn't care at all suddenly became serious.

Conan re-simulated how the secret room was formed on the spot. He put the telephone tape through the keyhole and pulled it out for a long distance.

Then he opened the book, propped it up with a few chessmen, bypassed the chessmen with a telephone tape, and walked out the door with the key.

When you get through the phone and don't speak, the phone automatically switches to the message mode. As the message time increases, the tape pulls the key outside the door and slowly shrinks into the house.

At last it hit the checkers, and the supporting book fell, holding down the key, while the tape continued to approach the phone until it was fully contained.

"As expected of the famous detective Mori Kogoro, it's amazing to be able to make such a wonderful reasoning without being on the scene."

Police officer Henggou admired the uncle with an expression of a little fan, and believed that Conan was able to make such a rigorous operation, which was due to the uncle's serious teaching.
