【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

"Xiaolan, wait at the door with the police."

Mouri Kogoro entrusted his daughter to a female police officer accompanying him at the door. He didn't know whether the crime scene this time would be as tragic as Kondo Kaori's before, so he chose to temporarily isolate Xiaolan from the scene.

However, whether due to negligence or other reasons, Mouri Kogoro selectively ignored Conan, who was less than his knees, and swooped into the scene.

Ruo Muliang, who was watching the live broadcast, opened a bag of potato chips.

Kudo Shinichi-kun, now I can confirm that you have definitely fallen out of favor with your father-in-law.

Conan rushed into the scene and was almost blinded by the room full of coins.

It's literally blinding.

In the middle of the room, there was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. His hands and feet were tied and straightened with ropes, and his whole body was tied into a large font. The mouth was also covered with black tape. His face was bruised and swollen, and there were blood stains on the corners of his eyes, nostrils and ears.

The cause of death was suffocation caused by external compression.

And after death, due to the continued pressure from the heavy objects, the deceased's spine was broken and the ribs pierced the skin.

The entire scene was still in an extremely tragic situation.

Next to the body was a very large sack, densely filled with 500 coins. According to the police officers who arrived at the scene immediately, the bag was pressed against the chest of the deceased. Three or four grown men worked together to remove the bag from the body.

After untying the sack, I discovered that it was all money.

In other words, this man was crushed to death by coins while still alive.

"Officer Shiratori, the deceased seems to be holding something in his right hand."

Conan noticed the clue at a glance and immediately alerted the police officers present.

Because the deceased had been in a state of desperately resisting heavy pressure before death, and his right hand was squeezed very hard. Conan only took one look and determined that it was impossible for him to break open the deceased's right hand and get the contents inside. .

The police officers immediately surrounded him and, with great effort, they managed to open the deceased's right hand.

"It's a lawyer's badge."

A lawyer badge that was stained with blood and had been pinched out of shape was put into the evidence bag.

By chance, another police officer had already asked for some information about the deceased.

"The deceased's name is Matsumoto Ryuzo, 47 years old, and he is a lawyer. He has no children. He divorced his wife three years ago and currently lives alone. Because of work, he often rests directly in the office, so the surrounding neighbors and He’s not very familiar with it either.”

Conan walked around the scene and still couldn't find many clues.

The police contacted the aunt who had been responsible for Matsumoto Ryuzo's housekeeping work and obtained certain information.

A few days ago, Matsumoto Ryuzou suddenly wanted to renovate somewhere in his house. Due to the renovation, the lawyer had been sleeping in the office for the past few days and informed her that she would not come over to clean for the time being.

"So, there must be something wrong with this decoration team. It is not a simple matter to move so many coins into the house. Using decoration as an excuse can be a cover-up."

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin and thought, his IQ was on the line throughout tonight.

Officer Shiratori nodded in agreement and asked his police officers to immediately investigate the decoration team.

Conan's cell phone vibrated twice in his pocket. He glanced at Mouri Kogoro who was surrounding the body, tiptoed to the corridor on the other side, and answered the phone.

"Hattori, did you find anything?"

Hattori Heiji: "No, Kondo Kaori's resume is quite clean and she has no criminal record."

"I found a second body here."

Hattori: "Are you sure it was done by the same person? Or is it just a coincidence?"

Conan denied the theory of coincidence, "Although the connection between the two deceased has not yet been found out, the ropes on the hands and feet of the two deceased and the way the ropes are knotted are the same. It is very likely that they are the same person. A crime committed by a murderer.”

Hattori: "Are they all those blue and white nylon ropes?"

Conan: "Yeah, that's right."

Hattori: "That's really unlikely to be a coincidence. Nylon ropes of this color are rare. So how did this man die... being crushed to death by money?

This murderer is really, really cruel! "

Conan: "Ah, it's obvious that this person corresponds to greed."

Hattori Heiji on the other side of the phone clicked his tongue, "Greedy lawyer, so there is a high probability that black money was collected in a certain case.

A senior lawyer has handled at least hundreds of cases in his career. It is too difficult to investigate here. I have always thought that Mr. Kinosaki, who represents 'Gluttony', may be a better entry point. Among the three sins that have appeared so far, he is the only one who has not died. "

Conan agreed with his friends.

However, judging from the scene when they left the hospital, Kinosaki had just experienced forced vomiting, and I am afraid the hospital would not allow visits.

The police did not know anything about Dr. M's challenge, and they did not get any hints about the seven deadly sins.

Therefore, it is impossible to force Mr. Kinosaki to be interrogated.

Conan sighed and said, "It seems that when I go to the hospital tomorrow and ask Kinosaki for clues, I have to ask Aunt Eri to help me investigate the cases handled by lawyer Ryuzo Matsumoto."

"Wait a minute, what's the name of this lawyer?"

"Matsumoto Ryuzo, Hattori, do you know this lawyer?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and there was the sound of pages being turned.

"Actually, when I was checking on Kondo Kaori, I found something that I was a little concerned about. But at the time, I thought it might have nothing to do with the case, so I didn't tell you."

Conan quickly asked: "What is it?"

"Kondo Kaori was once a student of Changming Private High School. You must have an impression of this school."

Conan thought for a moment.

"You mean Changming High School where the false accusation case occurred four years ago."

Hattori: "Yes, it's hard for me to check more detailed information here. After all, it happened in Tokyo, not Osaka.

And because this case seemed to have had a very bad impact at the time, some relevant agencies seemed to have taken a cold stance on the matter, and there was relatively little information on the Internet. "

Conan nodded, and asked the doctor to help check for more details later.

Hattori continued: “At that time, the lawyer for the plaintiff Hayato Yotsuya in this case was Matsumoto Ryuzo.

However, various evidence later showed that Yotsuya Hayato's accusation was completely false, and the evidence submitted by the plaintiff was also judged to be forged. So Yotsuya Hayato later changed from the plaintiff to the defendant.

Then it seemed like he was sentenced to more than three years in prison. If you do the math, he should have been out of prison for almost a year. "

Yotsuya? !

An invisible light flashed behind Conan's head.

Previously, the garbage truck in the neighborhood near Kondo Kaori's house seemed to belong to the "Yoshitani Cleaning Company". There must be some connection between the two!

"Thanks Hattori."

After Conan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Hello? Hello? What do you mean by hanging up the phone so quickly? Do you think I am a tool that will be thrown away after use?" On the other side of Osaka, Hattori Heiji hung up the phone angrily.

Then he got up and went to find his father.

Dr.M’s matter has been filed with Dad. If Dad finds out one day in the future and he doesn’t report the knowledge, the consequences will be...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji shuddered.

Kudo, wait!

This time I will definitely solve the case faster than you!

Then send this brutal thug to jail.
