Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 386
Kogoro smiled and said, "I really want to go in, don't you?"

With a cute expression on his face, Conan said, "Uncle, please!"

Kogoro pressed Conan's head and rubbed it vigorously, making his hairstyle into a hedgehog like Kaito's.

Hairspray hand, grab hairstyle in a second, you deserve it.

"Since you've asked me sincerely, I'll do a merciful favor."

Soon, the public trial began, and the invited people entered the venue one after another.

After the judge and jurors have all entered the court, the public trial will begin.

The prosecuting party is Kujo Reiko, who has been called the goddess of the prosecutorial world, and Kazuhime Eri is also an old opponent.However, this time, the person she has to face is the less experienced Kuriyama.

The first public trial soon ended in the confrontation between Kuriyama and Kujo. Due to insufficient evidence, the judge announced the postponement of the trial.

Out of the court, Kogoro's family and Reiko Kujo ran into each other.

Reiko Kujo was generous, she said appreciatively: "Lawyer Fei, it seems that you have taught a good apprentice."

Fei Yingli said: "That's because Kuriyama himself is very good."

Reiko Kujo said to Kogoro again: "Mr. Mori, now I'm going to the scene again. I wonder if you're interested?"

Kujo Reiko thought very simply. The famous detective Mr. Mori went to the scene, and he should be able to solve the key to the murder case soon.

Kogoro smiled and said, "We're getting ready to go."

Reiko Kujo said, "Then I'll excuse you first."

At this time, Conan came over.

Kogoro asked him: "Didn't you say to see how Mr. Kobayashi is doing?"

Conan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, just after I went there, I found that Officer Shiratori was also there, so I came back."

In court just now, Xiaolin Chengzi said that the painting in the center of the room at the scene of the crime was hung upside down.Later, this clue was considered irrelevant to the case, and she was very disappointed at the time.

That's why Conan was going to comfort him, but unexpectedly, Shiratori was already waiting outside.No, as soon as Xiaolin Chengzi came out, Shiratori comforted her.

Kogoro said: "Okay, let's go. After hearing what Kobayashi Chengko said, I also think there may be something wrong with that painting."

When Kogoro's family arrived at the scene of the crime and entered the study, they saw that besides Kujo Reiko, Shiratori and Kobayashi Chengko were also there.

Shiratori greeted quickly: "Mr. Maori, you are here."

"You are this?"

Kobayashi Chengko was a little embarrassed, Shiratori explained: "Because Mr. Kobayashi still misses that painting a little bit, so we came over to see for ourselves."

Reiko Kujo felt a little funny, so she said, "Mr. Mori, bringing your child into the crime scene at such a young age, isn't it a bad influence."

"It's called deafening."

Reiko Kujo pointed to Wangcai and said, "So, what about this pet dog?"

Wangcai rolled his eyes at her, don't think that I don't know that you are criticizing me.

She snorted dissatisfiedly: "The show is really big."

Indeed, Kogoro's family was mobilized, and the study almost couldn't stand up.

Xiao Wulang didn't care about her, but looked around in the room, and soon came to the painting, Wangcai had already shouted at the painting.

Xiao Wulang patted the dog's head and said with a smile: "Look, Wangcai has made great achievements!"

Kogoro had already put on his gloves and took down the painting.

Reiko Kujo was even more dissatisfied: "Mr. Mori, you are destroying the scene like this."

Kogoro said, "I'm a professional, and I wear gloves."

Kogoro turned the painting upside down and laid it flat on the ground. The back corner of the painting was stained with blood.

"Look, let me say that prosperity is powerful."

Kujo Reiko immediately ordered the forensics personnel to come up and prepare to wrap up the painting and take it back for blood tests.

Shiratori was indifferent. He was not in charge of the case itself, and the evidence was found by the prosecutor, so it should be taken back for evidence first.

Kogoro said: "Wait, there is something wrong with this painting."

Kogoro tapped on the painting and sensed that there was a stack of paper in the extra layer inside.

Opening the painting, there was actually a stack of IOUs and the like inside.It seems that the deceased was the president of the real estate company on the surface, and he was also engaged in the usury business in private.

Kogoro flipped through the two and found the 300 million yen IOU of the suspect Toshio Iwamatsu.

Good guy, the suspicion is even bigger now.

Reiko Kujo said with a smile: "It seems that God is on my side. The suspect's IOU can be regarded as a motive for murder. It seems that I have to thank you very much, Mr. Mori."

Kogoro waved his hand, he was just looking for the truth.

"Uncle, this place is very suspicious."

Kogoro looked up, and there was a table on the right side of the painting, which seemed to be for placing vases and other decorations.

Kogoro walked over, and Conan said: "There is a cushion on the table. It should have been placed there. Judging by the size of the sunburn, it should be a vase."

Yuan Xinghui stood aside, at a loss.

Kogoro asked: "Ms. Yuan, may I ask, what was originally placed here?"

"Uh, it's a vase about 20 centimeters high. Now that I think about it, after the master was killed, I didn't see it again."

Kogoro looked at her suspiciously, and she immediately said anxiously, "Mr. Maori, I didn't hold the vase, and I didn't kill the person."

"I didn't ask anything."

"But Mr. Maori, your eyes seem to be asking that!"

Yuan Xinghui said aggrievedly: "Besides, how can I, a 66-year-old woman, have the ability to kill the master?"

Kogoro fell into deep thought. According to Yuan Xinghui's testimony, when she was cleaning on the second floor in the afternoon, she heard strange noises downstairs, but she didn't go downstairs to look.

In other words, at that time, it may be the time when the murderer committed the crime.And after a while, when Yuan Xinghui went downstairs to the study, the president was already dead.In such a short period of time, the murderer touched the painting and took away the murder weapon.

If the murderer is the suspect Toshio Iwamatsu, he can take away his IOUs, or even all the IOUs.After all, someone would be willing to buy the IOU for half or even less.

But Toshio Iwamatsu did not, and it was almost impossible for an outsider, Toshio Iwamatsu, to know about the things hidden in the painting.And the murderer should be a close person like Yuan Xinghui or Tsukano Xiang.

However, there were no signs of blunt force beatings on the body of the deceased, so the disappearing vase is unlikely to be the murder weapon.And if the vase is broken during the struggle, there is absolutely no reason to clean it up.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the vase is inseparable from the case itself.As for the things that disappeared at the scene, apart from the vase, there was only the murder weapon.

After Kogoro's analysis, he felt that the murderer might have hidden the murder weapon in a vase, and then took the two away from the crime scene.
