Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 176 The deceased, Ichikawa Xiao.

The door opens, the door closes.

Bang~!

Just twenty minutes ago.

Yumiko Akira led everyone to visit the last venue, which was filled with pictures and descriptions of famous marine conservation experts.

"Hey, this one looks like Sister Mingyou." Ayumi said, staring at a photo.

The picture above shows a woman wearing a blue research suit, but she is 70% similar to the current Miss Mingyou.

"Really?" Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Mouri Ran walked over and said at the same time when they saw the woman above.

There is also a description next to it, Ming Yumei, a famous marine researcher.

Then there is a long introduction below.

"Who is this?"

"This is my mother. I was also influenced by her. I originally wanted to be a researcher, but I didn't live up to the expectations, so I came to work at the Maritime Museum." Akane Yumiko said with some pride on her face.

"I see." Sonoko and Mao Li Ran nodded.

Mao Lilan chats with Ming Youmiko, and Mao Lilan learns some things about Ming You's mother from her.

Just three years ago today, Akie Yumiko's mother died while studying the deep sea.

As they chatted, Akie Yumiko might have touched upon her sad past.

I couldn't help but started crying.

After comforting her, Mao Lilan wanted to take out tissues from her bag.

Suddenly I realized that I had forgotten my bag where I had rested before.

She quickly said sorry and went to the resting place alone.

Just passed by the dolphin show venue.

She saw that the dolphin performance venue that had been closed was miraculously opened?

They had been here just when they visited the second-to-last venue.

Only to find the door closed, with the opening hours posted on it.

Mao Lilan also saw that there seemed to be a light inside the pool.

Then, a scream was heard.

Xingchen, Conan and others suddenly heard Mao Lilan's scream and they rushed over quickly.

Conan shouted nervously: "Sister Xiaolan, what happened?"

Mao Lilan pointed to the center of the performance pool, her face full of horror.

Conan, Xingchen and others ran over immediately, and the scene before them made their faces change suddenly.

I saw that the fence surrounding the performance pool was broken and the light disappeared.

A corpse floated quietly in the center of the clear performance pool, like a lone boat swaying in the waves.

Conan immediately turned to Mao Lilan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, call the police!"

Mao Li Ran quickly called the police, and at this moment, Mao Li Kogoro also rushed to the scene.

He anxiously looked for Mao Lilan, and only after seeing that his daughter was safe and sound did he breathe a sigh of relief and shouted, "Lan, are you okay?"

Mao Lilan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

However, when his eyes fell on the body in the performance pool, the expression on his face instantly became solemn.

When Akane Yumiko, who was standing next to him, saw Kogoro Mori, she suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.

But he quickly returned to his horrified expression.

But this expression was successfully captured by Conan.

......

"The deceased's name is Ichikawa Xiao, male, 46 years old. He is the director and chairman of the board of directors of this museum. The time of death was about half an hour ago, so the preliminary diagnosis is that he died of drowning." Takagi Shige said while writing in a small notebook.

"Then may I ask where you were half an hour ago?" Officer Megure asked the three people who had arrived in the conference room from behind.

Right on the railing, the police found a piece of tape.

There will be nothing on the railing that doesn't belong there for no reason.

So they determined it was probably a homicide.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was an accident.

In addition, these three people and the victim met and had a meeting in the conference room an hour ago.

I heard that they had had an argument, so the three of them were listed as suspects.

"In the car." Nanyang Yixing answered with a serious face.

Xingchen saw his answer and thought to himself that he didn't seem surprised by Officer Megure's question and even seemed to be accustomed to such things.

Could it be that he was the murderer, and it was just the next person's words.

His suspicion disappeared.

A man in a black suit nearby raised his hand and said, "Yes, I can prove it."

"Who are you?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"I'm the director's personal driver, you can just call me Ermu Qing." Ermu Qing bowed slightly.

"Ma'am, what were you doing half an hour ago?" Officer Megure shifted his gaze to the formally dressed woman not far away and said.

"Police officer, how can you call someone like that? Please call me Ms. Morishita." Morishita Kurumi cares more about how others address her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Morishita, where were you half an hour ago?" Officer Megure's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that someone would care about this.

"Half an hour ago, I was wandering around the museum. After all, there was nothing to do." said Morishita Kurumi.

"Really? Is there anyone who can testify?" Officer Megure said with a serious expression. After all, there was no alibi.

The probability of the murderer will also increase.

"No." Morishita Kurumi shook her head.

"We saw on the surveillance video, Ms. Morishita, why did you come to this dolphin performance venue alone?" Officer Megure said, because the second thing he did when he came here was to check the surveillance cameras of this venue.

After all, this is a public area, and there are so many precious deep-sea fish specimens.

If you don’t install surveillance cameras, you won’t even know if something has been stolen.

"I just wanted to go in and take a look out of curiosity. Is it illegal to go in and take a look?" Morishita Kurumi said firmly.

"Well, no, there is no such thing." Inspector Megure had sweat dripping from his head. What he feared most was meeting such a strong and stubborn person.

It is very troublesome and laborious to ask in this way, and even the identity of the other party is quite powerful.

"Ahem, this one, uh."

"Researcher Tang Xiao, may I ask what you were doing half an hour ago?" Officer Megure asked the routine questions first.

Tang Xiaotaro shook his head and said, "I'm reading in my own staff dormitory."

"Staff dormitory?" Takagi Wataru and Mori Kogoro asked in confusion.

"Hey, it's in the building next to the museum, only about ten minutes away from here." Tang Xiaotaro described. In fact, he was a little dissatisfied because he had just returned to the dormitory not long ago and was called back.

But he still cooperated with the police officers.

"Is your research institute close to here?" Officer Megure asked with some confusion.

"Yes, it's right behind this museum." Tang Xiaotaro nodded, then pointed in another direction.

"Oh, I see." Inspector Megure found a policeman and asked him to take people to investigate.
