Conan's Winery is all my vest

Chapter 163 Suicide?

Minaho wondered what Mori Kogoro saw and why he stopped where he was.

Minaho moved closer to Mori Kogoro, and inadvertently saw Jomoto Hidehiko who was obviously dead in the toilet.

"what--!!"

In extreme fright, Minaho panicked and bumped into Brandy who was a few steps behind her.

"Are you okay?"

Brandy quickly supported Minaho who was about to fall.

"what happened?"

Minaho, still in shock, subconsciously grabbed the smiling boy in front of him.

Minaho looked at the brandy who asked about her with concern, and managed to regain a little bit of reason.

"Mr. Cheng, Cheng Yuan..."

Minaho shook her hand and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

"He, he's dead..."

"what?!"

Brandy's eyes widened in astonishment, and he spoke in disbelief.

"Hopeless."

Kogoro Mori, who knelt down to check the situation, sighed in a solemn tone.

"Mr. Theodore, could I trouble you to call the police?"

Mori Kogoro withdrew his hand, stood up, and turned to look at Brandon Road.

"I think we'll have to contact the local police officer, sir."

……

"So the door was locked before you found the body?"

After police officer Mito received the on-site investigation report handed over by the forensics officer, he simply flipped through it and asked Mouri Kogoro with a serious expression.

"Yes, Officer Mito. In the end we were worried that something might have happened to Mr. Jomoto, so we forced our way in."

"Well, that's a completely closed chamber."

"Whether it's a suicide note or a murder weapon, judging from the situation at the scene, it is undoubtedly a suicide. Apart from the fingerprints of the hotel staff and Mr. Maori, there are only fingerprints of the deceased in the room."

After hearing the news of Shiromoto Hidehiko's suicide, Toru Amuro and his team hurried back to the hotel.

While Mito police officer was questioning Mori Kogoro, Brandy and others, Conan sneaked into the scene of the crime when no one was paying attention to him.

suicide?

Could Shiromoto Hidehiko really commit suicide?
Conan knew that Brandy, as a member of the black organization who dared to drop a bomb on the Shinkansen, stayed alone in the hotel today.

Tired of traveling and feeling unwell?
Conan, who knew who Brandy was, didn't believe that he would miss the outing because of such a reason that sounded nonsense to him.

It is very likely that Brandy deliberately found an excuse in order to stay in the hotel and kill Jomoto Hidehiko.

And Toru Amuro, who knew that Brandy stayed in the hotel today to complete the task, just stayed quietly watching Brandy's innocent performance, without any intention of causing trouble.

Now that he is here as a member of the organization to complete the task with Brandy, it is better not to attract the attention of the police.

After all, apart from anything else, Brandy with him is not a cheap lamp, once Brandy notices something that he didn't notice, it will be troublesome.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

"Report the police officer that the deceased's wife Bizen Chizuru is not in the room!"

Just as everyone in the restaurant was thinking about each other, a police officer ran down the stairs and reported to the officer.

"What's going on? Do any of you know where she went?"

Police Officer Mito frowned, and he turned to ask Arimori Mitsuyuki and others in the restaurant.

"Huh? How did this happen?"

Mao Lilan said strangely, "Ms. Qianhe seemed to be in a bad mood this morning, so she stayed alone in the restaurant to calm down."

"Miss Qianhe, why did you suddenly disappear?"

Police officer Mito frowned even more when he heard this, and he looked at the others, "Don't you all know where Bizen Chizuru has gone?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing that they did not know the whereabouts of Bizen Chizuru either.

"Officer Mito, I think she probably went somewhere nearby to relax, so don't worry too much about it."

And at this moment, Mori Kogoro coughed twice, and said indifferently.

"Right now, I think we should first clarify the cause of Mr. Shiromoto Hidehiko's death."

After checking the door latch and the indoor situation, Conan walked down the stairs slowly, thinking in confusion why he couldn't find any flaws in the construction of this secret room.

Could it be...was Shiromoto Hidehiko really committing suicide?
How can it be? !
Conan, who walked to the door of the restaurant, looked at Brandy, who was standing in the corner with a smile, as if harmless to humans and animals, his eyes flickered.

No...Hidehiko Shiromoto's death is definitely related to Brandy...

"By the way, Mr. Mito police officer, is everything written in the suicide note true?"

Brandy, who had been just waiting for an inquiry, suddenly spoke up at this moment, and he seemed to casually mention Shiromoto Hidehiko's suicide note.

"Ah, this..."

Police officer Mito flipped through the investigation report and found the page that said the relevant content of Shiromoto Hidehiko's investigation before his death.

"Well... According to the investigation results, Hidehiko Shiromoto failed to invest many times in a row during his lifetime. In the last investment, he did invest a large sum of money far exceeding his own assets..."

"Unfortunately, the last investment also failed, so Hidehiko Shiromoto filed for bankruptcy for the company a week ago."

"So... everything written in Mr. Cheng Yuan's suicide note is true?"

The one who spoke was not Brandy, who had achieved his goal and diverted everyone's attention to the suicide note, but Kogoro Mori, who had been waiting for his chance to play.

"Uh, according to the current investigation, it should be so."

"His wife, Bizen Chizuru, has indeed said many times in public recently that Shiromoto Hidehiko will never get a divorce as long as she doesn't pay her alimony."

"That seems to be suicide." Mori Kogoro sighed and regretted, "If Mr. Shiromoto hadn't had a wife like Bizen Chizuru, the ending might have been different."

Police officer Mito pouted noncommittally, but did not refute.

Although in his opinion, the reason for Shiromoto Hidehiko's suicide is more likely to be related to loan sharks and a complete failure in his career.

But Hidehiko Shiromoto's cause of death seems to be suicide at present, so there is no need to argue with this famous detective on this issue.

"Well, that is indeed the case. All the current signs indicate that Hidehiko Shiromoto committed suicide, and the evidence points to this point. The case should be closed."

Police officer Mito summarized the investigation report on the scene and the confessions of everyone, and concluded.

On the other hand, although Conan always felt that Shiromoto Hidehiko's death had something to do with Brandy, he couldn't do anything because he hadn't found evidence for so long.

　Thanks to Abai, Fengyun Chuowu, Xinghui, Mo Lingxue and Xiloumu for their rewards.

　　For some reason, I didn’t add a change yesterday, and I owe two changes at present, and I will pay it off as soon as possible before the end of this week.
