Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 308 Murder in the Chamber of Secrets

Keir was worried over there, and Kogoro couldn't help persuading him: "Give up on the undercover job as soon as possible, there is no future. Gin and the distillery are drifting away now, and you will get no results if you die hard on gin."

"It's all your fault!"

"So what? For the safety of my family, I have to do this."

Kiel snorted coldly: "Whatever you say makes sense, you can't fall in love with this bed."

Keel curled up under the covers and fell asleep.

Kogoro, of course, didn't stay and instead went to Kiel's original room to sleep for the night.

The next day, Kogoro was awakened by Conan's voice.

"Conan, what do you want from me?"

Conan turned around and asked in surprise, "Uncle, why are you in sister Kiel's room?"

Kogoro made a hairspray hand and said listlessly, "Then why don't you ask Keel why he's going to my room?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki next to Conan said: "Uncle, a homicide has occurred. That Zhukou Masuki died in his room, and that room was still a secret room."

Kogoro was taken aback, how can you say that you will die if you die, isn't Conan's skill too strong?

"Well, how did you confirm this situation?"

Conan said: "Because at 5 o'clock in the morning, sister Anabuki went to wake Mr. Moroguchi to wake up. Because I didn't wake up, I was worried about an accident, so I climbed in through a small window in the room and confirmed the death and the situation of the secret room."

Kogoro followed Conan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki to Zhuokou Masuki's room, saying, "Did you call the police?"

"It has been reported, and Police Officer Mumu will be here soon."

Now that it was confirmed that Megure would arrive soon, Kogoro did not enter the room, but asked the others to wait in the living room together.

Ten minutes later, Sato brought Takagi to the scene.

"Huh~ It's dangerous."

Seeing Kogoro's behavior like this, Sato couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mori, what's wrong?"

Kogoro said awkwardly: "Uh, no, nothing."

What he thought in his heart was: Fortunately, it wasn't Mu Mu, otherwise he would definitely complain and complain about him again.

Kogoro quickly explained the situation, and then followed Sato and Takagi into Mokuchi Masuki's bedroom.

There was no clutter in the bedroom. The deceased, Zhukou Yigui, was lying on his back on the bed with his feet hanging by the side of the bed.

And on the floor next to the bed, a coffee cup fell on the ground, and the coffee in it flowed out, and it seemed that the traces had not been completely dried.In addition to the coffee flowing from the corner of the deceased's mouth, it is obvious that he died after drinking coffee.

"It smells like almonds. It should be that cyanic acid poison was mixed into the coffee. The deceased died of poisoning after drinking the coffee. The time of death was more than one hour."

After Takagi joined Kogoro as a teacher, his observation skills improved a lot and he looked more professional.

"But why does the dead man hold the key in his hand?"

Takagi stared at the key in the left palm of the deceased, a little puzzled."Could it be suicide?" he said.

"Probably not."

Anabuki said: "Teacher Zhukou usually has no suicidal tendencies, and his spirit is normal. Moreover, he has just published one of his works, how could he suddenly commit suicide?"

Kogoro looked at Zhukou Yigui's diamond ring and reminded: "You may not have noticed that Zhukou Yigui's ring should have been tampered with."

"Did you move your hands and feet?"

When Zhukou Yigui was showing off his diamond ring, Conan couldn't see clearly from a distance.Kogoro said: "Yesterday when he showed me the diamond ring, the word '100th' was just the opposite of what it is now. You must know that the deceased was a very picky person in some aspects. It is impossible for him to wear it himself. It will be worn backwards."

"Criticism?"

Conan told Sato and Takagi that Masuki Mokuguchi was furious last night because the font size of his typesetting name was 1mm smaller than others.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki checked everything in the room and said, "This should be a well-designed murder case in a secret room."

Takagi's heart was full of alarm bells, could it be that Master Maori has accepted apprentices again?The previous Toru Amuro had made him pale in comparison, and now a high school student detective appeared, so would he still be able to take the position of the second senior brother?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "My name is Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and I'm also a detective! I came here with my uncle yesterday to attend a meeting, and I didn't expect to encounter a case today."

She looked at Kogoro and Conan, after all, she couldn't tell who brought the case.

Kogoro said: "You two, let the younger sister reason. I want to see whether she or Conan has a more accurate reasoning."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also wanted to compete with Conan, because after these two days, she discovered that Conan was unusual.What's more, the Hattori in Kansai and the white horses overseas all admire Conan so much, there must be something special about him.

She said: "First of all, the glass window next to the bed is closed, and the transom window on the other wall is open, but only children like Conan can enter and exit. The key held by the deceased is to open the door of the room." The only key, so killing people in the secret room can’t be wrong.”

"And judging from the fact that the ring was worn backwards just now, the murderer must have borrowed this ring in order to put the key in the palm of the deceased. But I haven't thought of the specific method."

Sato and Takagi looked at Conan, and Conan spread his little hands: "I think the same as sister Yue Shui."

Conan changed the topic: "But seeing the deceased's clothes, even wearing glasses, he was obviously ready to go out for a meeting, so he drank coffee in a hurry and was poisoned to death. However, the coffee machine is in the kitchen on the other side , there is only one possibility for him to be poisoned to death here."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki added: "That is, the murderer brewed coffee and gave it to the deceased, urging him to drink it quickly, and then create a secret room. Conan, your reasoning is amazing."

Conan was a little embarrassed: "Oh, it's not that good."

Takagi took out his small notebook and looked at Kogoro expectantly: "Master Mori, do you have anything to add?"

"There is one person who can be used as an entry point, and that is Qiu Chang, the former editor in charge of the deceased. Takagi, you should first investigate this person's information, and see who he has made friends with. I suspect that someone took revenge for Qiu Chang, and The suspect is one of the three people in the living room."

Yue Shui Nanatsuki exclaimed: "That's right, such a valuable ring is still there, and the room has not been rummaged, so it should not be for money. What's more, if it is burglary and murder, unless it is an acquaintance, how can the deceased make it up by himself?" Let's drink coffee."

"So according to Uncle's three elements of killing, it must be for morality. And when the deceased mentioned the editor of Qiuchang last night, the expressions of the three people were abnormal. Uncle's judgment makes perfect sense."
