Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 31 Diplomat

Maori Detective Agency.

Hearing Kogoro's doubts, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said: "It's just because she is too perfect that I don't like her. Human beings are inherently suspicious and jealous animals. When they see a perfect person, they unconsciously I want to find fault with her. Am I right, ma’am?”

Kogoro said mercilessly: "So you came here from Osaka to find trouble with Shinichi Kudo, right? You are not a good person."

Hattori Heiji: ヽ(o`dish'o)

Koe Tsujimura asked, "Who is this person?"

Kogoro glared at Hattori Heiji, you have offended someone, you want me to make up for it.

"He, uh, my daughter's friend, is a little carried away."

Koe Tsujimura stood up: "In short, after you arrive at my house, you can discuss the details with my husband."

"Okay then, are we going now? To be honest, wouldn't it be nice if your family came here together?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but press again: "Uncle, auntie said that his husband is a diplomat, if you come to the detective agency, if you are accidentally photographed by a reporter, then you and that diplomat will become famous together .”

"So, let's just pretend to be a family and go to visit."

Kogoro: ￣へ￣

You guy, why do you like talking so much!
Soon, Kogoro drove the 86, took his family to Tsujimura's house, followed Tsujimura Gongjiang, and entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door, the butler Xiaochi Fumio greeted him: "Madam, you are back."

"Where's my lord?"

"I think the master should be in the study. Who are these guests?"

"He's an old friend of mine, Mr Maury."

At this time, the Tsujimura family's future daughter-in-law, Katsuragi Sachiko, and the Tsujimura family's son, Tsujimura Takazan, came over.

Katsuragi Sachiko was very polite, and saluted with a warm smile: "Mom, it's you."

But Tsujimura Kimie was very disrespectful: "Why did you come here?"

Tsujimura Takayama hurriedly made a rescue to ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "I asked her to come here. I saw that Dad has been unwilling to meet Sachiko, so I forced Dad to agree. It seems that Dad has not been there since just now." Get out of the study."

Sachiko said, "By the way, Mom, are these guests your friends?"

Tsujimura Gongjiang looked like a wicked mother-in-law: "It has nothing to do with you. Also, I don't think you have any status now, you can directly talk to my mother and elder mother."

Ignoring Sachiko's apology, Koe Tsujimura took Kogoro and his party up to the second floor.But an old man walked upstairs, looking dumbfounded.

"Dad, you haven't gone out yet?"

It seems that the old man in front of him is the old man of the Tsujimura family.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just thinking, take this fish I caught and let you have a look."

The old man unfolded a picture scroll happily and said, "How about it, isn't this fish big?"

Mr. Tsujimura made the old man happy and let him go downstairs.

Now, a group of people arrived at the study on the second floor.

Koe Tsujimura knocked on the door, but got no response, then took out the key in the bag and opened the door.

I saw Isao Tsujimura sitting behind the desk with his chin resting on his right hand, apparently still sleeping.However, the loudspeaker in the room did not wake him up.

Kogoro vaguely remembered that after Hattori Heiji first appeared, it was a case involving a diplomat, and the person who died was the diplomat in front of him.

So Kogoro stared at Tsujimura Hoon, only to see Tsujimura Koe walking up to him, and after calling him a few times, he just fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Kogoro immediately ran over in three or two steps, felt his pulse, and found that he was dead.

However, Kogoro immediately discovered a suspicious point, that is, there is still body temperature, that is to say, he should have just died.And the lips turned purple, apparently died of poisoning.

Hattori Heiji also came up to confirm that Tsujimura Hosun was dead, and after carefully inspecting the body, he began to find clues nearby.Xiaolan looked helpless, didn't you ask you to investigate Conan, why did you go to investigate the case by yourself?
"Xiaolan, go to the police, the person is dead."

Kogoro stared at Koe Tsujimura: "Madam, the murderer is you, right?"

what?
Hattori Heiji immediately refused: "How is that possible, uncle? Mrs. Tsujimura came back here with us, and we saw it just now. Mrs. Tsujimura opened this door with a key. It is very likely that this is a secret room murder case. It should be It’s not that simple.”

Koe Tsujimura saw someone speaking for him, and immediately said: "That's right, the master usually locks the door when he stays in the study, and only the master and I have the key to open this door."

Hattori Heiji wrapped his hands in a towel, and found the same key that Koe Tsujimura used to open the door just now in the pocket of Isao Tsujimura's trousers.

"Not."

Conan was also dissatisfied with Hattori Heiji's performance. He retorted: "We didn't confirm whether the door was locked from behind. Maybe it was just Mrs. Tsujimura who deliberately opened it with a key to make us think it was a secret room."

"Conan, did you find any doubts just now?"

Kogoro saw a red dot under Tsujimura's right ear, and the blood was still fresh.

"Uncle, there is a needle on the ground here that seems to have pierced this small spot."

Kogoro saw the needle and stroked his chin: "This, it should be a poisonous needle. The deceased died of poisoning. The murderer stabbed the side of the deceased's neck with this poisonous needle, which should be the direct cause. But the specific , still needs to be dissected to find out what kind of toxin it is, and then look at the specific time of death."

Hattori Heiji also retorted: "Uncle, you don't understand at all. The purple phenomenon appeared on the lips and fingertips of the deceased, and the bleeding spots appeared in the corners of the eyes. This is a phenomenon of suffocation. It should be that the deceased was paralyzed. from the toxin, and then suffocated to death within a few minutes. And judging from the body temperature, it should have died within 30 minutes of us entering here."

"Didn't you also say, the secret room, he died within 30 minutes. After opening the door, Mrs. Tsujimura, who was the first to contact the deceased, is the biggest suspect, right?"

Kogoro looked at Koe Tsujimura: "Mrs. Tsujimura, when the police come later, you should turn yourself in. You are the murderer."

"Mr. Maori, you don't have any evidence, so don't accuse people indiscriminately."

"Yes, uncle, I think it's better for you not to jump to conclusions. I'll look for any clues."

Hattori Heiji always felt that Kogoro was reasoning randomly, so he left the room and searched at home.

Conan and Kogoro conspired in a low voice: "Uncle, I think you must be messing around this time. I'll go out and find some clues."

Kogoro ignored the two of them, Mrs. Tsujimura is the murderer anyway, I said so!
