Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 62 Murder Motive

Villa Dracula, study room.

At this time, Daisuke Torakura was still tied to the cross, and the projector was still working. Accompanied by a small sound, the long film that was pulled out was slowly rewound.

Kogoro has already decided that Toshiya Tasho is the murderer, but Conan feels that Kogoro is a bit arbitrary.

"Uncle, this floor-to-ceiling window is open, and there are traces of being stepped on at the door. The murderer probably came in from the outside and killed Mr. Hucang. However, there are no footprints outside, and they may have come down from the roof."

Kogoro shook his head: "Although the roof above the corridor is possible, but if you want to go from there, you must enter Mrs. Hu Cang's room. At that time, Mrs. Hu Cang and Hideichi Hamura were both in the room. Although they It’s impossible to commit a crime, Conan, if you don’t believe me, go to Madam’s room to see if there are any traces on it.”

"But uncle, Xiaolan and I both saw the wooden stake that killed Mr. Tokura in the collection room at that time, and Xiaolan also saw that the doors and windows were locked at that time. How can we explain this?"

Xiaolan also said: "That's right, I checked the storage room at that time, and the doors and windows were locked."

Conan continued: "Mr. Tian Suo stayed with us in the living room after he came out of the study and never left. How could he go to the collection room to kill someone with a stake?"

"Use your brains, Conan. Mr. Tiansuo took you to the collection room, obviously for the purpose of testifying. Besides, how can you be sure that the stake that killed Mr. Hu Cang was the one in the collection room? He It is absolutely possible to make another one and hide it in the study in advance."

"No, I'm going to check."

Conan ran away, he still felt that the current evidence was not enough.Kogoro didn't continue to struggle, he said: "Then I'll go out to smoke a cigarette, you all stay here and don't leave, the person who leaves now is the most suspected. By the way, Mr. Tiansuo, you still think about what evidence can prove your Not the murderer."

Kogoro walked to the living room with a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't actually light it.He took out his mobile phone and called Police Officer Mumu.

"Hey, Brother Megure, I'm Mori."

In the Metropolitan Police Department, the policemen were busy all the time. Officer Mu Mu answered the phone with a displeased face: "What's the matter, just now the people below said that Xiaolan called the police again. You really are a plague god."

"Ahaha~ Don't say that, Brother Mumu. Seriously, I have confirmed the murderer, but he has not pleaded guilty yet. I need your help to provide some information."

Kogoro continued: "The suspect is Toshiya Tasho, and the deceased is his teacher Daisuke Torakura. I just want to ask my brother to find out if there is any grievance between Toshiya Tasho and Daisuke Torakura."

Police officer Mu Mu made a joke, and got into the mood, and immediately arranged for his men to investigate.

Kogoro hung up the phone and went back to the study, the people inside were still silent.

Humph~
Conan ran back, and he said: "The wooden stake in the storage room is gone, and I found a small branch in the storage room, and together with the two side-by-side straight indentations on the storage room, I deciphered the murderer from it." The method of taking the wooden stake from the closed storage room."

Conan said confidently: "The murderer pinned the branches to the window and left a small gap, so that sister Xiaolan would not feel that the window was not closed after reading it. Then he used an escalator to put it on the storage room, and left Indentation. Finally, open the window and use the loppers to remove the stake from the storage room."

"Uncle, it is very likely that someone else took this stake, so the murderer may be someone else."

Kogoro was a little annoyed, he was almost cornering Toshiya Tasho on his own side, you Conan is capable, you want to overthrow my reasoning.

"Aren't you arguing?"

"Uncle, I'm being strict."

At this time, Kogoro's cell phone rang, and he went to the living room to answer a call from Police Officer Meguro, and then returned to the study.

"Uncle, I also cracked the function of this projector!"

Conan is still actively expressing himself, perhaps because he has been suppressed by Kogoro in reasoning before, and today he is working extra hard.

Kogoro glanced at Xiaolan angrily, and found that she was staring at Conan intently, but Conan didn't feel anything yet.

Sighing, Kogoro doesn't care about this anymore, Xiaolan will find out sooner or later, as for whether Xiaolan will go to Conan for a showdown or pretend not to know, he can't care less.

"Okay then, just tell me."

Conan pointed to the film that was still scattered on the ground and said: "When I came in just now, the film was scattered on the ground like this, but at the end of the film is a piece of transparent glue. Just stick the transparent glue on the back lock under the doorknob Close it, and when the film is over, the lock will be pulled by the film, forming a secret chamber."

"So I said, what the murderer didn't expect was that I entered the study room ahead of time. If I wait until the secret room is formed, it will be more difficult to solve the case."

Kogoro rubbed Conan's head, and said: "Mr. Tiansuo, I just asked my friends from the Metropolitan Police Department to check your information, and found that you had a younger sister who died a year ago. Through the hospital It is confirmed by the side that your sister has been treated in the hospital for a long time. And after you became Mr. Hu Cang's student, those medical expenses were paid by Mr. Hu Cang."

"Then, this is why you killed Mr. Hu Cang. According to the hospital, your sister's attending doctor was bought by Hu Cang and only gave your sister the most basic treatment, which led to your sister's death. I said That’s right, Mr. Tadokoro.”

After hearing Kogoro's words, Tiansuo Junya knelt down and began to tell the motive for the murder. Xiaolan burst into tears.

Kogoro shook his head. If he wanted to take revenge on Daisuke Torakura, he could start from the hospital and directly expose the scandal, which is much wiser than directly killing people.

Going to the living room, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Kogoro rarely lit a cigarette.

"Uncle, why do you sometimes think that a person is the murderer so much?"

"If a person wants to kill, there are generally three types. One is fame and wealth, but morality, and the third is indiscriminate killing."

Kogoro continued to explain: "Because I entered the study room ahead of time, the secret room became a decoration, and the evidence pointed to Toshiya Tasho. Then I asked police officer Megure to investigate their grievances. At first, I thought it was for fame and fortune, because the teacher occupied the students. This kind of vendetta is relatively common. I didn't think of it in the end, it was for morality."

Conan was thoughtful, killing people really needs a reason, it seems that there will be another reasoning method in the future.
