one word, pity

When Kudo and Conan were still investigating at the scene, the police had already arrived

"Conan? Why are you here!" Officer Takagi was a little surprised

"What's so surprising about this is that Brother Maori's plague-god physique must have been transmitted to Conan." Officer Mu Mu said casually.After speaking, he looked at Kudo again.

"Oh, isn't this our Kudo? That's great, Brother Kudo, I'll leave this case to you!" Police Officer Meguro said excitedly

"Um……"

"Officer Megure, you said the study was turned into such a mess, could it be a robbery?" Officer Takagi said

"It's possible. After all, such a luxurious mansion is easy to be targeted."

"Ahh!" Conan yelled from the side.

"What's the matter, Conan, did you find anything?" Officer Meguro said a little excitedly

"Officer Megure, look, there are a lot of jewels on that shelf, they must be worth a lot of money. Also, this auntie also has a beautiful necklace around her neck!" Conan said in a childish voice

Seeing this scene, Kudo couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Since there are so many jewels that have not been stolen, the murderer should have deliberately disrupted the room and disguised it as a burglary." Police Officer Meguro said.

"Ah!" Conan yelled again.

"Conan, what did you find again?"

"This murderer is so powerful! He actually knew from the outside that this is the study where Auntie will stay and work all afternoon, and then punched a big hole in the glass!"

"That's right, this glass is a one-sided see-through glass. You can only see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. So the murderer should be someone who is very familiar with this glass room, so it shouldn't be an outsider who committed the crime." Officer Takagi said excitedly

You're in good shape, Officer Takagi, you'll be fine.Conan secretly happy

"Then Conan, have you been in this mansion?" Officer Meguro began to ask

"I just asked Uncle Maori who left after I woke up. Throughout the afternoon, he only saw four people entering and leaving the hall. The first was Miss Kitty, who left the mansion shortly after Madam left. Then there was that Blonde boy." Pointing to a muscular man with glasses in the crowd. "Then the lady with shoulder-length curly hair also left. Finally, it was Butler Tanaka, who ran back shortly after he left and said that something happened to his wife, and then we rushed over. And before Butler Tanaka left, the first three went out All the people are back." Since Conan was sleeping, Kudo had been sitting on the sofa reading a book.But if someone went out, he would notice.After all, the door of the hall is quite thick, if it is opened, it will definitely attract attention

"Ahem...then the suspect is among the four mentioned just now. Takagi!"

"Yes!"

"Go and investigate those four people."

"Yes!"

After Officer Takagi left, Conan began to investigate the room again

------------------------------------------

Looking at the laptop on the desk, Conan wanted to open it, but he was too small to reach it.When he was worrying, a pair of hands behind him hugged himself around his waist.Conan turned around and found that it was Kudo

"feather……"

"I will help you when you are in trouble." Kudo showed a bright smile

"Thank you, Yu." Conan whispered

Conan reached out to open the top cover of the laptop, and found that the computer was turned on, and when the display screen lit up, the page was a WORD document, but the document was still password-encoded.Conan entered 4869 without hesitation.Sure enough, the document was opened, and there was a line of words on the document

eszxcdrtYUIJNM,K

"Death message?" Kudo asked in surprise

"Well, this death message is very strange." Conan frowned, then recorded the message in his notebook, and signaled Kudo to put himself down

"Officer Mumu! The suspect has been investigated."

"Go ahead."

"Except for the housekeeper Jiro Tanaka, the other three are the children of the victim. The girl with long blond hair is Katie Miller. She is studying at a Japanese national high school. Today's birthday party is also featuring her. Then the blond man with glasses is Paul Miller was a student at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Biology. The last girl with shoulder-length curly hair was Wendy Miller, who studied at Harvard University in the United States and majored in law. In addition, the husband of the deceased died a few years ago Passed away, according to the deceased's children, the deceased did not mourn excessively after her husband's death, but often had intimate actions with some men on some important occasions, and the deceased began to plant roses in several mansions since then Yes." Officer Takagi reported

"Officer Megure, the coroner called. The time of death was from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] pm, so it is impossible for Butler Tanaka who left the mansion at nearly [-]:[-] to commit the crime. And the medical examiner said that the cause of death was a severe blow to the head, bleeding The murder weapon is the vase that Conan said." Officer Chiba also reported

"Officer Mumu, just now I watched the surveillance video in the afternoon, and found that the suspects only knocked on the door, but the wife did not open the door, so the suspects left and no one entered the room," said a searcher.

"By the way, Officer Megure, I found the death message left by the deceased in that computer, go and have a look." After speaking, Conan walked out of the room

------------------------------------------

The sunset glow in the sky has long since disappeared, and there are only a few sparse stars in the dark night sky.The wind blew over Conan's cheeks and the Lolimas roses in the garden. Conan looked at these roses swaying in the wind with sad eyes, and sighed softly

"I already know the murderer's motive for killing Madam, but this...is too sad." Conan said softly

"Hey, big sister, why are you hurt? There are bandages on your palms." Conan looked at Wendy Hunter's right hand

"Ah...Little brother, don't think my sister is a law student, but my sister is a member of the Harvard Fencing Club." Wendy explained to Conan in unfamiliar Japanese

"That's right, little brother. Don't look at Wendy as a student of law, with a gentle appearance, but when she participated in the fencing competition, she was amazing! She won many prizes!" said Paul on the side

"Yes, yes. Conan, don't be fooled by appearances in the future~" Katie patted Conan's head and said with a smile

Superficial phenomena... confusing...

Wait!

The clues in my mind gradually connected, and a proud smile appeared on Conan's face, but it disappeared immediately after a while

As expected, the ending is so sad

Kudo on the side obviously also knew the ending behind the case, and shook his head helplessly

"Big families are like this." Kudo thought

------------------------------------------

"What! Brother Kudo? Do you know who the prisoner is?" Officer Meguro shouted happily

"Yes, let me first talk about the murderer's crime process. The murderer left the mansion first, and then came here, but knocked on the door and found no one opened the door, so he smashed the glass and entered the room. Presumably the wife was still there at this time Sleeping in the bedroom, no movement was found. Then the murderer pretended to find a hole in the glass, and entered the room because he was worried about his mother. Then he tricked the wife into the study and asked her to check if any important items were missing. The wife was afraid of important files in the computer After being stolen, the computer was turned on first. Then the murderer took advantage of his wife’s inattention and smashed his wife’s head with a vase. In the end, the wife was smashed to death. Then, in order not to be suspected, the murderer deliberately turned the room upside down and pretended to be House robbery. But she didn't realize that Madam was not dead at this time, but took advantage of the murderer's inattention, tampered with the computer and left a death message."

"What does the death message mean?" Officer Takagi couldn't help asking

"This death message is not a password, but a very simple hint."

"Hint?" Everyone was very puzzled

"Yes, look at the position of eszxcdrtyuijnm,k on the keyboard, and find that these keyboards are connected to form a scale, which is a symbol of law, so the murderer is Wendy Miller, who majored in law at Harvard University." He spoke out his reasoning, and the people around him all had the same expression

"Hmph, just these ridiculous reasonings can prove that I am the murderer." Wendy sneered

"Ah, big sister, your hand is injured, probably not because of fencing."

When Conan said this, Wendy couldn't help shivering

"Little brother, what are you talking about..."

"Eldest sister, you must have seen the roses in the vase that was used as a murder weapon after disrupting the room. Because you hate such words, you took the flowers out of the vase and let it stain Madam But because you were afraid that wearing gloves would be difficult to deal with after committing the crime, and even if your fingerprints were found in the room, you could just find a reason to prevaricate it, so you didn't wear gloves. So when your rose , my hand was punctured by a thorn. The evidence is left by you, as long as the police investigate the rose stem, they will know whether there is your blood on it. How about it, big sister, what did I say wrong? Is it?" Conan said in a heavy tone.

"No, little brother, you are quite right. Yes, I killed him, that is, using the method you said." Wendy finally told the truth

"Sister, why?" Katie was stunned by the side

"You should also know that because of my father. My father passed away a few years ago, but my mother didn't grieve for it at all. Instead, she still had leisure time to raise roses, and finally founded her own company with other men. He simply forgot Father, I can't spare her!!" Wendy said angrily, but tears still flowed down Wendy's cheeks

"Miss Miller, do you know the flower language of Lolimas roses?" Kudo asked softly

"What?" Wendy looked at Kudo in surprise

"The Lorimas rose belongs to the subfamily Rosaceae. It always has pure and overlapping petals. Its flower language is - nostalgia for the dead and eternal love."

"You... what did you say..." Wendy was so choked up that she couldn't speak

"Your mother loves your father very much and has never forgotten him. That's why she planted many roses like this to express her miss for him. Your mother also worked hard for your future and founded the company. I didn't expect you to have I don’t understand her good intentions. You see, there is her diary in her computer, and the content in it expresses her love for you and your father.” Kudo said on the side

"Mother...Father..." Wendy knelt on the ground, crying

"Officer Megure, please don't say that I have anything to do with this case." Kudo said with a smile

"Yes, yes, you are too modest."

------------------------------------------

"You should be cleared of suspicion now." said Yu who returned to Ito

"I'm sorry, Yu."
