Conan: Naruto

"This corpse is really strange!"

Kudo Shinichi dragged Dongfang Haoyue with his left hand and quickly ran to the left side of the corpse, put his right hand on the stretcher, and turned his head to look at Police Officer Mumu.

Mu Mu looked down at Shinichi, and asked in bewilderment:

"What's weird?"

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left of Kudo Shinichi, looked at Police Officer Megure, and explained seriously:

"Kojima Ikuko knew that someone would come to her at night, but she still put on a mask and wore pajamas, which is a bit too casual."

"Makes sense."

Police officer Mu Mu looked at the corpse, pondered and approved:

"She really doesn't look like she's waiting for guests."

Mori Kogoro stood on the left of Police Officer Meguro, turned to look at Meguro, and calmly explained:

"But what she wants to see is her daughter, so it's normal to dress casually."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mori Kogoro, and seriously retorted:

"But apart from Miss Chihiro, Kojima Ikuko knows that Mr. Yoshioka will also come to see her.

and......"

Kudo Shinichi turned around to look at the corpse, and said calmly:

"And she was strangled.

Sister Xiaolan said just now that since Kojima Ikuko was strangled to death, it is impossible for the mask on her face to be wrinkled. "

"Oh?"

Officer Mu Mu thought for two seconds, looked at a police officer ahead, and calmly ordered:

"Pull the mask off her face and take a look."

"Yes!"

The police officers immediately put down the stretcher, half-kneeled on the ground, and lifted the mask on the corpse's face.

Two seconds later, everyone looked at the wrinkled face of the corpse because of the pain, and couldn't help showing a look of horror.

"It seems......"

Police officer Mumu looked at the face of the corpse with a solemn expression.

Mori Kogoro added solemnly:

"After killing Kojima Ikuko, the murderer put a mask on her."

"And then help her into her pajamas, but..."

Officer Megure turned to Kogoro Mori, and asked in bewilderment:

"Why did the murderer go to such lengths?"

"Miss Chihiro."

Kudo Shinichi looked back at Chihiro Kojima, and asked calmly:

"Ikuko Kojima was dressed like this when you came here?"

Kojima Chihiro was slightly taken aback, looked down at Kudo Shinichi, and hurriedly replied:

"Yes... yes!"

Everyone remained silent, staring at Chihiro Kojima with solemn expressions.

Chihiro panicked, pretending to be dissatisfied and defending:

"Are you doubting me?!

It's not just me who saw it, the security guards saw it too! "

5 minutes later.

"Yes."

A security guard in uniform stood in front of Police Officer Megure, holding a hat in front of him with both hands, and said calmly:

"We came here to meet Ikuko Kojima when a cat tripped the alarm.

At that time, she was indeed dressed as she is now. "

"In that case..."

Officer Mu Mu looked at the security guard and asked in bewilderment:

"Why did the murderer put a mask on the face of the dead?"

Kudo Shinichi stood at the left rear of Police Officer Megure, looked up at the security guard, and asked seriously:

"Did you feel anything strange at the time?"

The security guard looked down at Shinichi Kudo, and replied hesitantly:

"Even if you ask...I also..."

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left of Kudo Shinichi, looked up at the security guard, and confirmed innocently:

"The person my uncle saw at the time was really this person on the ground~?

Will there be any difference, such as the nose, eyes or mouth~! "

"This...I don't know."

The security guard looked at Dongfang Haoyue and explained calmly:

"Her face was covered by a mask at the time, and I also...

Ah, wait! "

With a flash of inspiration, the security guard turned his head to look at Police Officer Mu Mu, and recalled excitedly:

"Although her face was covered with a white mask, her mouth was covered in purple lipstick, which shocked me!"

Hearing this, Chihiro Kojima turned sideways silently, with her left hand across her body, her right hand resting on her left wrist, and she clenched her fists to cover her purple lips.

Mori Kogoro observed the corpse carefully, and said in surprise:

"Kojima Ikuko doesn't wear lipstick."

"Uncle Security~!"

Dongfang Haoyue turned to look at Kojima Chihiro, pointed at Chihiro, and confirmed with a smile:

"Is the lipstick you mentioned exactly the same color as Qianxun sister's lipstick~?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions were horrified, and they all stared at Chihiro Kojima.

Chihiro was extremely flustered, under the persecution of everyone's eyes, she lowered her right hand that was covering her lips.

The security guard pointed at Chihiro Kojima's pretty face, and excitedly agreed loudly:

"That's right!

It's that lipstick color! "

Mori Kogoro leaned forward, looked at Chihiro Kojima solemnly, and asserted sharply:

"The person who put on the mask to meet the security guard is you!

Chihiro Kojima! "

Mori Kogoro calmly analyzed:

"You became angry because you were rejected for borrowing money, so you cruelly killed your own mother!

But you didn't expect that the alarm system installed here was accidentally triggered by the cat at a critical moment. If you don't open the door, those security guards will rush into the house immediately and catch you!

So you got wise, put on your pajamas to cover up your figure, put on a mask to cover up your face, and went out to deal with the security guards pretending to be your mother.

Because you and Kojima Ikuko are very similar in appearance, it is easy to get away with it.

But you forgot to wipe off the lipstick in a hurry, which became the biggest flaw! "

"That's right!"

Chihiro Kojima looked at Kogoro Mori, and confessed emotionally:

"I was the one who went out to meet the security guards and helped my mom put on the mask!

But......"

Kojima Chihiro looked down, looked at the floor in front of Mori Kogoro, and said in a lost voice:

"When I came here, my mother was dead..."

Chihiro Kojima regained her composure, looked at Kogoro Mori, and tried her best to argue:

"My mother and I fight every time we see each other, and everyone knows that!

I think everyone will think that I killed my mother, so... that's why I..."

At this time, two police officers controlled Chihiro Kojima's hands, one on the left and the other on the right.

Chihiro denied emotionally:

"Please trust me!

I didn't kill people! ! ! "

Kudo Shinichi stared intently at Chihiro Kojima, pinched his chin with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, lowered his head slightly, and thought seriously in his heart:

"This woman did do the cover-up work just now, but in this way, our estimated time of death has been brought forward.

Then, Takeo Izumi's alibi will not be established.

Wait!

Estimated time of death advanced? ! "
