Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

At this point, Kikuemon couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he didn't care at all about his impending death.

He didn't even care about others talking about his death date, perhaps because he was proud that his works would continue to appreciate in value after his death.

"Hahahaha~ Master Kikuemon really is worthy of being called a master. He can be so open-minded about life and death!"

Kogoro Mori responded just right. He clinked glasses with Kikuemon again with joy, and his emotion quickly infected Kikuemon.

The two men opened their mouths and continued drinking happily.

Several apprentices gradually relaxed in this atmosphere, and they toasted each other, making it very lively.

Even Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko started drinking each other's juice.

There's no way around it. Even though they are legally adults, they never drank much before.

Looking at the young lady who had fallen drunk on the ground, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were still frightened.

As for Conan, no one is in charge.

Although he looks like an elementary school student, it would be easy for him to drink if he wanted to.

But Conan has no interest in alcohol.

Although many detectives like to drink, Conan has no interest in this nerve-numbing substance.

Matsumoto Akira turned his head and looked at the young lady again. At this time, she was completely intoxicated.

But she did not go crazy. She seemed to be drunk and unconscious all of a sudden. She lay happily on the tatami, kicked her legs a few times, and then fell into a deep sleep.

After a brief discussion among the disciples, one of them was immediately entrusted with the important task of escorting the young lady back to her room to rest.

When the apprentice returned, the celebratory atmosphere of the dinner was rekindled and lasted until the second half of the night.

After cleaning up the surroundings, everyone decided to use the restaurant as a place to sleep, taking out bedding from the cupboard and spreading it all over the floor.

The group fell into a deep sleep. Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran slept against the wall, Suzuki Sonoko slept further inside, and Mouri Ran slept relatively closer to the outside.

Matsumoto Akinori was sleeping right next to Mouri Ran. Given his status, it was most appropriate for him to sleep here.

Although we went to bed in a hurry, everyone's sleep quality was quite high.

However, early the next morning, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded outside.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko opened their eyes sleepily.

"What happened?" Mao Lilan rubbed her eyes and asked softly.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the young lady from last night hanged herself! I'll go check out the situation and be back soon!"

Matsumoto Akira rubbed Mao Li Ran's hair. Mao Li Ran responded in a daze. Suddenly, she stood up as if she had been electrocuted.

What did Matsumoto Akira say just now? The young lady hanged herself last night!

Suzuki Sonoko was also shocked. She almost couldn't recover from Matsumoto Akira's words. He really spoke too lightly.

The two of them quickly packed up and hurried to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, many policemen were busy. Strangely, they did not set up a cordon. Perhaps they felt it was unnecessary?

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko caught up with Matsumoto Akira and went to the warehouse in the backyard together.

Sure enough, I saw the familiar Inspector Megure there.

Inspector Megure was originally talking to Kogoro Mori, but when he saw Akira Matsumoto, his eyes lit up.

I originally wanted to make do with Brother Mori, but now that Brother Matsumoto is here, I can be more picky.

After all, the internal police were well aware of Matsumoto Akira's abilities. He had helped them solve many cases without making a fuss.

"Oh, brother Matsumoto, I didn't expect you to be here too! Come and take a look at the crime scene!"

Inspector Megure came over warmly, gave Matsumoto Akira a tight hug, and then invited him to enter the crime scene to check it out.

"Hey, hey, hey, Officer Megure, you're going too far! You call me Brother Mori, and you call that guy Matsumoto Brother Matsumoto, but he and I are father-in-law and son-in-law!"

As soon as Kogoro Mouri finished complaining, Ran Mouri, who came with Akira Matsumoto, punched him hard, and Kogoro Mouri immediately became quiet.

There is no way. Ever since Xiaolan and Matsumoto Akira started living together, Kisaki Eri also returned home, and Xiaolan seems to be becoming more and more "violent" towards her.

He vaguely remembered that in the past, Xiaolan only threatened him verbally, such as smashing the table with one punch or something.

But now it has completely turned into directly attacking him. The times are changing so fast!

Inspector Megure, who originally wanted to respond, raised his eyebrows after seeing Mouri Ran's actions. He stopped comforting Mouri Kogoro and walked straight into the crime scene with Matsumoto Akira.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also followed them into the warehouse without any police stopping them.

Since Inspector Megure had invited Matsumoto Akira to come in, there was naturally no need for the two girls following behind Matsumoto Akira to stop him.

At this time, the young lady had been put down and was lying flat on the ground with a layer of white cloth under her.

When a police officer saw Inspector Megure coming with Matsumoto Akira, he immediately understood what he meant and took out the information he had collected.

"This lady has not been dead for long, but her neck is broken. If she died by hanging, it would be too strange!"

"And what's weird is that there's a strange wound on her calf! I wonder if she was scratched by something sharp before hanging herself!"

Matsumoto Akira stared at the policeman who was reporting to him with a sharp gaze, and then glanced away inconspicuously, and the nail that had already protruded from the top of the cabinet came into his sight.

It was obvious that there were bloodstains on the nails, and the police here all knew that the woman had been injured before hanging herself, but why were they unwilling to check?

Matsumoto Akira sighed helplessly, stared at the young lady lying on the ground, then took a few steps forward and carefully observed the drops of blood dripping on the ground.

When Matsumoto Akira stood up again, he was surprised to find that the police around him and the people in the yard who were summoned, including Kikuemon and others, were all staring at him.

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, cursing in his heart: "You guys are really not doing your job, can't you hurry up and check it out?"

However, Matsumoto Akira didn't want to delay any further. He pointed at the bloodstains on the ground and said in a deep voice, "When human blood drips onto the ground, it will leave bloodstains of different shapes depending on the height of the drip. The higher the drip position, the larger the diameter of the bloodstain, and the more irregular the edge of the bloodstain will be."

"The shapes of these bloodstains are not exactly the same, which means they are likely dripping from different heights. Besides, you all noticed that the young lady's neck was broken! You should have realized that she might have fallen from a great height!"

Matsumoto Akira stretched out his finger again and pointed above the cabinet.

"I just observed that there is a nail sticking out of the cabinet. I think it was the nail that caused the scratch. You can check it out. There should be residual blood there!"
