Conan: Naruto

"Officer Mumu."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Police Officer Mumu in surprise, and asked in bewilderment:

"We are not suspects, why should we record a statement?"

"Um?

The kid Haoyue also came to see the deceased...? "

Police officer Mu Mu turned around in surprise and glanced at Dongfang Haoyue, then stepped out of the bathroom and calmly arranged:

"Anyway, you guys come with me first."

--------

Lawyer Xun's villa living room.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi followed Mori Kogoro and Police Officer Megure, walked into the living room quickly, and found...

Lawyer Xun was sitting on the sofa, half-bent, his elbows were bent inward, and his forearms were placed flat on his legs.

He looked at the police reporter sitting on the opposite sofa, and said calmly:

"It's a fact that we don't get along as a husband and wife.

Also, because my wife cheated, I specially entrusted Maori detectives to investigate on my behalf... that's true. "

"Officer Mumu."

Kudo Shinichi looked up at Police Officer Megure, and asked curiously:

"When is the time of death?"

Officer Megure turned to look at Kudo Shinichi, and explained rigorously:

"Although the details will have to wait for the results of the autopsy.

But judging from the stiffness of the corpse, it was probably between two and three in the afternoon. "

"what?"

Xiaolan turned her head to look at Mori Kogoro in surprise, and repeated hesitantly:

"Between two and three in the afternoon..."

"Ah."

Mori Kogoro turned his head to look at Xiaolan, and narrated in a deep voice:

"We happened to be in the hotel at that time."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Lawyer Xun on the sofa, and suddenly realized in her heart:

"I see.

The reason why Police Officer Mu Mu asked us to come was to prove that Lawyer Xun was not at the scene of the crime!

From this point of view, Lawyer Tatsumi may not be the criminal.

After all, from two to three o'clock in the afternoon, he stayed with the Maori detective.

But...you can't talk too much, maybe Lawyer Xun deliberately forged the alibi by some means.

If that's the case... what means? "

At this time, Lawyer Xun looked at the police reporter and recalled in a deep thought:

"After I separated from Mr Morley, I left the hotel to meet with clients and then made a court appearance.

When I got home, I found...

My wife is dead..."

Lawyer Xun couldn't accept the loss of his lover, and bent down to look at the ground in extreme grief, completely covering his face with his hands, his body trembling slightly.

"Maori detective."

Officer Megure turned to look at Mori Kogoro, and confirmed solemnly:

"Was Lawyer Xun really with you between two and three in the afternoon?"

"Correct."

Mori Kogoro looked at Police Officer Megure, and calmly recalled:

"I remember that during that hour, Lawyer Xun only went to the bathroom once at the very beginning, for about a minute.

Xiaolan, Conan and Haoyue were also present at that time, which can also prove this point.

Oh, right! "

Mori Kogoro held his chin with his right hand and murmured:

"When Lawyer Xun went to the bathroom, the phone in the room rang."

"Yes."

Xiaolan bent over, put her hands on her knees, looked down at Kudo Shinichi and Dongfang Haoyue, and said calmly:

"It was Conan who answered the call, and Haoyue was also listening."

"Oh?"

Police officer Mumu knelt down, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi at close range, and asked seriously:

"Who called at that time?"

"Um……"

Kudo Shinichi turned his head to look at Police Officer Megure, and replied innocently:

"It's Tatsumi Kazumi calling!"

"I remember……"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Police Officer Mu Mu, and seriously recalled:

"At that time, Tatsumi and Mei said on the phone...

I'm Mrs. Sunda!

Is this still a question? "

"That is to say..."

Police officer Mu Mu pondered and analyzed:

"At that time Tatsumi and Mei were still alive."

"correct!"

Lawyer Xun who was sitting on the sofa straightened up, turned to look at Police Officer Mumu, and reminded after thinking:

"The hotel's telephone has an automatic recording function. As for the tape at that time...

Should still be kept on the hotel landline phone. "

"Oh!"

Police officer Mumu looked at Lawyer Tatsumi, and confirmed in surprise:

"is that true?"

Lawyer Xun replied calmly:

"Yes."

"In that case."

Officer Mumu stood up, turned to look at a police officer, and ordered seriously:

"Go to that hotel and get the tape from Lawyer Tatsumi's room."

The police officer looked at Officer Mumu, saluted with his right hand, and responded loudly:

"Yes, sir!"

"Based on the current situation..."

Kogoro Mori looked at the backs of the police officers who were gradually going away, and pondered and analyzed:

"Between two and three in the afternoon, Lawyer Xun was with me, with a very strong alibi.

Moreover, the hotel is a full ten kilometers away from his home, so it is not easy to get there.

From this point of view, the possibility of the deceased being killed by Lawyer Xun is extremely small. "

--------

The next day, afternoon.

Maori Detective Agency.

"The murder of the lawyer's wife."

Xiaolan stood by the desk, holding the edges of a newspaper in both hands, and read carefully:

"Currently the focus of the search is on the victim's...

Friendship! ? "

Xiaolan put down the newspaper in disbelief.

Mori Kogoro lay leisurely on the sofa, closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and explained calmly:

"Friendship refers to Tatsumi and Mi's cheating partner."

"if so……"

Xiaolan turned her head to look at Mori Kogoro with a solemn expression, and asked in surprise:

"Could it be her cheating partner who killed her?"

"Ah."

Mori Kogoro calmly analyzed without moving:

"After the police searched the scene of the crime, they found that nothing in the house had been stolen.

And with our confirmation, lawyer Xun's suspicions have also been cleared.

but……"

Mori Kogoro sat up abruptly, clenched his hands into fists, and complained emotionally:

"Lawyer Xun originally wanted to entrust me to investigate Xun Hemei later, but now that something like this happened, the follow-up entrustment was canceled directly!

It was all the criminal's fault! ! "

Dongfang Haoyue was sitting on the sofa opposite Mori Kogoro, holding his chin with both hands, looking at Kudo Shinichi who was not far away, and said thoughtfully in his heart:

"It seems that the case is tricky because Shinichi has been thinking about it for a long time."

Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets, with a dignified expression, while wandering around the living room, he thought seriously in his heart:

"There are so many interconnections in this case.

Tatsumi and Mei were fully dressed, and the place of death was obviously not the bathroom. Why did the prisoner deliberately put the body in the bathtub?

What about that staple?

In addition, Lawyer Tatsumi talked with detective Maori for an entire hour in the room. Was it really because he couldn't make up his mind about the commission to investigate his wife's infidelity?

As a top lawyer, how could he be indecisive?

and……

If he didn't care about wasting an hour in vain, why did he look at his watch for so long in the middle of the conversation before, and seemed to pay attention to time?

Then let a stranger answer the phone for him, is it just a coincidence?

And when Haoyue and I were in the underground parking lot, what did Lawyer Xun put in the trunk?

In my opinion, the starting point of all reasoning is in that hotel.

Ah!

Take Haoyue to the hotel and see if you can find any clues! "
