Conan: Naruto

Eight seconds later.

Outside the closed cellar door.

Kusaka Shuko stopped outside the door and looked at the wine cellar through the rectangular glass in the center of the door frame. Her expression suddenly changed and she shouted in horror:

"Shengping!?"

"what's going on?"

Mouri Kogoro stood on the right side of Kusaka Yoshiko, turned to the left, carefully looked at the wine cellar through the glass, and shouted in shock:

"Mr. Shengping!?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi squeezed silently between Kogoro Mori and Shuko Kusaka, looking at the wine cellar through the glass with solemn expressions, and found out in disbelief...

Sunshine Shohei knelt down on the cold floor between the two wine racks far in front of the door, with his back on the ground, his head resting on the wine rack, and his hands clasped flat on both sides of his body.

Several broken wine bottles were scattered around him, and the intoxicating red wine stained the brown floors one after another.

Moori Kogoro tried to open the door but couldn't open it. He made a fist with his right hand and knocked on the door panel repeatedly, shouting urgently:

"Mr. Shengping, Mr. Shengping, are you okay!!"

"Aunt Shuzi."

Kudo Shinichi stood on the left side of Mouri Kogoro, looked up at Kusaka Shuko who looked uneasy, and asked calmly:

"Where's the key to the wine cellar?"

"Ah, the key..."

Kusaka Shuko didn't react for a moment. She was so flustered that she held her right hand in an empty hand and pressed the knuckle of her index finger against her chin for three seconds.

She tried her best to regain her consciousness, and while hurriedly searching for the key, she handed it to Mouri Kogoro's right hand that he stretched out at the right time. At the same time, she looked at Kogoro in confusion and said urgently:

"The key is, here!"

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left side of Kudo Shinichi, looked at Kusaka Shuko attentively, and made a careful judgment in her heart:

“Although I found no signs of injury or bleeding, Kusaka Shohei’s posture was weird and he was probably dead.

As for Kusaka Shuko... her panicked reaction didn't seem like she was faking it. There should be someone else responsible for this murder. "

next second.

Mouri Kogoro took the key silently, unlocked the door quickly and rushed towards Kusaka Shohei with short steps.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi followed closely behind.

Four seconds later.

"Mrs. Shuzi, please call the police immediately."

Mouri Kogoro knelt down and sat on the right side of Kusaka Shohei, with his back to Kusaka Shuko who was leaning outside the door. He took back his right hand that was searching for Shohei's pulse, looked at the body with a solemn expression, and regretfully told:

"Mr. Shengping...he is dead."

"he......"

After hearing the bad news, the anxious Kusaka Shuko was greatly stimulated and fainted on the spot.

Mouri Kogoro heard a "bang" from behind him, stood up suddenly, turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from, and was suddenly shocked...

Kusaka Shuko fell weakly on the cold tiles.

Mouri Kogoro rushed to Shuzi in a hurry and called out urgently:

"Mrs. Shuzi!?"

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue stood beside the corpse's right leg.

He belatedly glanced at Mouri Kogoro who was taking care of Kusaka Shuko, then looked at Kudo Shinichi on the right who was looking solemn, and asked in a low voice with confusion:

"The posture of the corpse is so strange...why?"

"I do not know."

Kudo Shinichi observed the corpse carefully and replied cautiously:

"It is at least certain that ... the position of the body was done by the prisoner."

after a while.

Police officer Mu Mu led a large number of police officers to the scene of the crime.

The police officers skillfully carried out investigation and evidence collection and properly collected the body.

"I shouldn't have sent someone to send you here."

Officer Megure stood [-] meters inside the door, looked back at the white line outline drawn on the floor one meter in front of him, symbolizing the corpse, and looked expressionlessly at Kogoro Mouri on the right.

Mu Mu praised coldly:

"It's really yours, Detective Mori."

"Hahaha......"

Mouri Kogoro, who had his hands in his trouser pockets, instantly realized the complex emotions hidden in Officer Megure's words, and looked at Megure awkwardly but politely.

Megure looked at Kogoro with slightly narrowed eyes and complained mercilessly:

“I can guarantee that... tomorrow the headlines in newspapers across the country will be you.

I actually encountered four murder cases in one night and solved them one after another. I really don’t know who can compete with you! ! ! "

Officer Megure became more and more excited as he talked, and almost collapsed.

Dongfang Haoyue stood cutely and cutely on the right side of Mouri Kogoro, with her hands in her pockets, quietly looking at the red-faced eyes, and said with endless confusion in her heart:

"If Detective Mori or Shinichi uses the name of Detective Mori to solve this murder case, it means that Detective Mori encountered four murder cases in one night and solved them all.

According to the rules of plot reasoning, it is almost certain that the Maori detective will solve this murder case, which means...

He is really going to become famous! ! !

There shouldn't be many reporters coming to interview him tomorrow! !

Damn it, this is a rare holiday, I still want to play the latest game on the office TV with Shinichi tomorrow!

Having said that... Officer Megure's job is really hard...

No matter morning or night, as long as a major case occurs within his jurisdiction... I can see his busy figure...! "

"Ahem."

Detective Takagi rushed into the open wine cellar door and saw that the atmosphere was not quite right. He stopped steadily to the left of Officer Megure, made a fist with his right hand and covered his lips, coughing twice, attracting everyone's attention.

Takagi took out the notebook from the inner pocket of his jacket and spread it out on his chest. He looked respectfully at Megure, who was gradually calming down, then lowered his head to the notebook and reported calmly:

"The deceased was the chairman of a financial company, Shohei Kusaka, who was 52 years old this year.

The cause of death was suffocation due to the rope being wrapped around the neck. The estimated time of death was within 10 minutes. "

"Ah."

Officer Megure nodded slightly, looked at Moori Kogoro cautiously, and asked businesslikely:

"Detective Maori, how did you find the body?"

"Because Mr. Shengping never returned to the living room from the wine cellar."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Megure and stated calmly:

"So his wife, Ms. Shuzi, and I came here, stood outside the door, and found Shengping lying on his back through the glass."

"Is the cellar door locked?"

Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro seriously.

"Yes."

Mouri Kogoro nodded without thinking and replied calmly:

"I pressed the door handle and it couldn't open the door."

Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro thoughtfully and was about to ask further questions.

"Officer Mumu."

Detective Chiba walked into the wine cellar and stood to the right behind Officer Megure. He held an evidence bag with two keys in his right hand and placed it in front of his right chest. He looked at Megure carefully and reported calmly:

"Mrs. Shuzi said...the key Mr. Shengping carries can open the doors of the wine cellar and the villa, and..."
