Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 403 Accident or Homicide
After all, an electric shaver is an electrical appliance. It may not only cause electric shock, but also shorten its lifespan if it is kept in a humid environment for a long time. When the face is wet, the shaving effect will be greatly reduced.

Although most people shave in the shower, they usually use a manual razor. Even if they use an electric razor, they usually start shaving after taking a shower and drying off.

But Shinide Yoshiki was soaking in the bathtub when he died, and it was obvious that he hadn't finished the bath.

"Actually, this is the husband's habit." Shinde Yoko said: "When he takes a bath, he likes to soak in the water for a while. If there are guests, it will be rude to wait for too long, so he usually doesn't take a bath. Soak your hair before washing your face, and shave at this time to save time.”

Shinde Yoko pointed to the large mirror directly above the bathtub: "This anti-fog mirror was specially installed here by my husband to make it easier for him to shave."

"Then your husband is really weird, how can he leave the guests aside and take a bath by himself?" Meguro Police Department said.

"This is also my father's habit. He is a doctor, so he always pays attention to cleanliness. Regardless of whether there are guests or not, he will take a shower after get off work, just to avoid bringing hospital germs into the house." Shinde Tomaki replied .

"I see, that person did it to himself!" The old woman suddenly said, "This is the retribution for not listening to Qian Jing!"

"Don't say that, grandma!" Shinde Tomoaki said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can't say. This is Qianjing's punishment for him!" The old lady refused.

"Excuse me, who is Qianjing?" Mumu Police Department asked.

"She is my biological mother. She passed away in a car accident four years ago." Tomaki Shinde said: "My mother often reminded my father not to use electric razors in the bathtub to avoid electric shock. Unexpectedly..."

"Who is Ms. Yoko?"

"I am the step-sister who married my husband two years ago." Shinde Yoko said.

Kindaichi suddenly realized that this is why the grandmother said that there is only Shinide Tomoaki in this family.

At this time, police officer Takagi, who was in charge of the on-site investigation, made a report. The connection between the electric shaver's wire and the extension cord was right on the edge of the bathtub. In fact, if he was not careful, he would fall into the water.

In addition, there is no other cause of death.

Combining the inspection results at the scene and the hospital, it can be basically concluded that Yoshiki Shinde suffered an electric shock because the body of the electric shaver or the connecting part of the power cord fell into the water.

However, this does not prove that Yoshiki Shinide died by accident, because it is possible that someone put a wire or a razor into the water.

So the Megure Police Department asked the alibi of everyone present.

At that time, the Mori family, Conan, Kindaichiji, Haibara Ai, Dr. Ari, and Shinde Tomoaki were all in the restaurant.

Although it was dark at the time, they can all prove each other.

Hui Yuanai and Dr. Ali have been sitting by the window. On the one hand, they have shadows, and on the other hand, they can prove each other.

Kinda Kazuo has been talking to Mouri Kogoro, and Conan is also involved, so they can naturally prove each other.

Mao Lilan was hugging Shinde Zhiming at the time...

Thinking of this, Conan's teeth were about to gnaw.

In addition, Shinde Yoko was on the phone at the door of the restaurant, and Homoto Hikaru took a flashlight to the distribution box to turn on the switch. The old lady said that she was resting in the room on the second floor. After the power outage, she walked to the restaurant and walked to Just then the lighting was restored.

On the surface, everyone has no chance to kill.

Therefore, the Mumu Police Department decided to characterize the case as an accident.

"That's not right." A cold female voice sounded.

"What the police uncle said is wrong." Hui Yuanai said, "Are you right, Dr. Ali?"

"Ah?" Dr. A Li froze for a moment, then touched the little hair left in embarrassment: "Yes...yes..."

"What do you mean?" Mumu Police Department asked puzzled.

"This... I clearly saw that grandpa died facing us just now." Hui Yuanai tried hard to put on a childish appearance: "You keep saying that you shave in front of the mirror, and you fell down like that Isn't the position reversed?"

"Hey, Maori, you also taught this child?" Megure Police Department rolled his eyes: "She interrupted like this at the stadium last time, just like Conan!"

"Well...it's the first time I've seen this child today."

"Sorry, I actually taught you..." Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly.

Closer to home.

Regardless of Hui Yuan Ai's status, what she said makes sense.

If it was true that he was electrocuted while shaving in front of the mirror, then whether he fell forward or backward, his back should be facing the door.

But the death of Xinchu Yihui was witnessed by everyone. He collapsed under the mirror, facing the door.

"That does make sense." Officer Takagi, who looked innocent, said.

"Hmph, this police officer is still young, so what's the problem!" Mori Kogoro said.

He walked into the bathtub, faced the mirror, and made a shaving action: "Just when the new doctor was shaving, he accidentally discovered through the mirror that the wire was about to fall into the bathtub, so he panicked. He turned around and tried to pull up the wire, but he didn't know he had time, so he fell down facing the door!"

Although Mori Kogoro's actions are exaggerated like performing comedy, the reasoning is good.

"Uncle Maori, although what you said is very likely to happen, you have overlooked one point." Kazuto Jintian said, "I don't know if you have noticed that the switch of the razor is off."

"what!"

The Mumu Police Department quickly picked up the evidence and took a look. The switch of the razor was indeed turned off.

"Has any of you moved this razor?" Mumu Police Department roared.

"Since the discovery of the body, only Dr. Shinide, me, Kindaichi, and Conan have entered this room. Mr. Shinide Tomoaki and I have been giving first aid to Dr. Shinide," Mori Kogoro said.

"I can attest that Uncle Mori just took the razor out of the bathtub, Shinide-san was giving first aid to his father, Conan was by my side the whole time, and neither of us flipped that switch," Kaneda said.

"Really, what the hell are the forensics personnel doing!" Mu Mu police department said angrily.

Of course he didn't think these detectives would deliberately destroy evidence.

"This...I don't understand. What if the switch of the razor is turned off?" Mao Lilan said: "As my father just said, maybe the new doctor is just because he has finished shaving. I turned off the switch casually, and when I turned around, I was accidentally struck by a wire, causing the wire to fall into the pool and get an electric shock."
