Detectives of Detective World

"How? Did you find anything?"

After seeing Tang Ze open his eyes, Mouri Kogoro, who was a little upset before, was indeed the most positive when he asked about clues.

"Well, there are some, but because some evidence is still needed for verification, in order to avoid misleading, I won't say it for the time being."

After confirming that Daren Funamoto was basically a prisoner, Tang Ze didn't make a sound, but chose to hide the information he got.

Of course, the reason is not what Tang Ze said, but because he is afraid that after learning his intelligence, everyone will directly find Daren on the boat, which will lead to panic.

After all, no evidence has been found yet. Tang Ze, with such a steady and steady character, naturally won't reveal it in a panic after getting a little useful information.

He is used to taking some unfounded information as a guide, and then finding evidence that can make everything a foregone conclusion.

"Huh? Then what are you pretending to do!"

Maori Kogoro was naturally very upset when he heard Tang Ze's words, but Tang Ze just laughed and didn't answer at all.

Mouri Kogoro snorted unhappily, and immediately stepped into the room.

"This is the balcony where the crime happened."

Pushing away Tang Ze who was standing on the balcony in front of the balcony door, Kogoro Mouri opened the door of the balcony: "Well... Did the prisoner sneak into the room on the second floor with this hook?"

"Ah, that's right, the handrail on the balcony wall has become a good place for the hooks to borrow."

Officer Mumu nodded when he heard Kogoro Mouri's words, and then pointed to the bottom of the balcony glass door: "Look below, the prisoner probably broke the glass of the balcony door and opened the bolt lock in the house."

Tang Ze heard the words and looked down, and found that the glass fragments were scattered all over the ground.

The glass double door is a rectangle as a whole, and the white wooden frame divides it into square lattices, and the lattice closest to the door, near the latch, has a big hole knocked out at this moment.

"Besides, because the balcony is facing the river bank, there is no one around here, so naturally there are no witnesses." Officer Mumu walked to the balcony and looked at the empty bank with a sigh.

"But it seems a little strange?"

Tang Ze raised his head and pointed to the latch above the door: "Look, the glass below the latch lock is broken, but the lock above is intact.

Just by opening the words below, it stands to reason that the door still cannot be opened, right? "

"I've never thought about this." Officer Mumu had the same doubts in his voice.

"About this... I think it may be because my wife has always liked to watch the stars. She comes to the balcony to watch the stars every night. Maybe when she came back to the room later, she forgot to lock the door above."

After hearing the words of the two of them, Shigero Takumi, who was on the side, gave a reasonable reason based on what she knew about the habits of Mrs. Kanse in daily life.

"Well... Mrs. Funamoto was shot and killed between nine and ten the night before yesterday.

That's right after coming back from a friend's house party, right? "Mouri Kogoro looked at Shigeru Takumi and confirmed.

"That's right, as soon as Mrs. Funamoto came back, she said she wanted to rest, so she went straight to her room." Shigero Takumi nodded.

"That means the prisoner had already invaded the room before Mrs. Funamoto came back..."

Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin and pondered: "When Mrs. Funamoto returned to her room and walked to the balcony to watch the stars as she used to, she shot the other party from being killed, and then stole the pearl necklace and bracelet... .

This criminal feels like a habitual criminal..."

"But this prisoner is actually not very skilled."

Takagi on the side heard the words: "Although his plan seems to have been arranged, the overall action still lays in a panic.

Not only was the hook with the rope not retracted, but his pistol with a silencer also fell on the grass below the balcony, and fled without even picking it up. "

"I think it's normal for this to happen."

Mouri Kogoro is convinced that the recent judgment is correct: "After all, it is a murder act. After killing someone, he must be very panicked and want to leave the scene of the crime."

"But if that's the case, then he must be a little too scared."

Tang Ze nodded at the earrings placed in front of the dressing table with a lot of cosmetics: "Look here, these precious pearl earrings are placed here and have not been taken away."

This earring is set with pearls on both sides, and the middle is joined by a punch of diamonds, and above the main body are silver wings, and the feathers above are made of precious emeralds.

Just by looking at the number of diamonds and emeralds, you know that these earrings are not cheap.

Moreover, the placement of the earrings is also very obvious. Basically, it can be seen at a glance. There is no reason for the prisoner to let go of the earrings.

"Humph, didn't you notice that this earring is made of pearls? That is to say, this is the earring that Mrs. Funamoto wore that day."

Mouri Kogoro said with a smug expression that surpassed Tang Ze's: "This means that Mrs. Funamoto took it down and placed it on the dressing table after she entered the room.

Therefore, the prisoner who invaded the room either didn't find it, or was startled by Mrs. Funamoto who suddenly entered the room, and made the first move to ensure that he would not be found, and then ran away! "

"On the day Mrs. Funamoto went to the party, this earring was indeed worn." Shigero Takumi echoed.

"But didn't you realize that there is only one earring?" Tang Ze nodded and said on the dresser, "If you pick earrings, you usually pick them in a pair, right?"

"About this, we found another earring on Mrs. Funamoto's right ear." After hearing Tang Ze's question, Officer Takagi immediately answered the information he had probed.

"Before we thought it was because Mrs. Funamoto was leaning against the wall of the balcony, which caused the earrings to be covered, so they were not taken away by the prisoners..."

Officer Mu Mu's eyes narrowed: "I'm still looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Two days ago, because the case had just happened, the body of the band star Locke was found by the river, so at that time, the body was only initially brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department, and no on-site investigation was even carried out.

Originally thought it was just an ordinary robber murder, but now, with Tang Ze's reminder, Officer Mu Mu found that there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind it.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it was not so much a murder by a robber, but it gave me a feeling that Mrs. Funamoto was unloading earrings, but suddenly it became a call to the balcony."

Tang Ze's words surprised everyone present. After realizing that this was indeed more likely, Kogoro Mouri turned his head to look at Takumi Shigeru:

"Excuse me, where were you from nine to ten last night?"

"You, are you talking about me?"

Seeing Kogoro Mori asking with a serious face, Takumi Shigero got nervous and said, "I'm discussing cooking magazines with my two friends in the living room downstairs."

"Then did those two friends of yours see Mrs. Funamoto?"

"I saw that after Mrs. Funamoto came back, some came to the living room to say hello before going up to rest." Shigero Takumi nodded and explained after hearing Kogoro Mouri's words.

"What was Toshi doing at the time?" Kogoro Mori asked.

"I remember that he fell asleep in the room, because he has been happily running around and playing at home since the evening. After I tidy up all the messed up places of the young master, he went to bed at about 12 o'clock. ." Shigeru Takumi said.

"Then what is Mr. Funamoto doing between 9:00 and 10:00?" Mouri Kogoro continued to ask.

"Like the young master, he went back to his room to rest after dinner before his wife came back soon."

Hearing Takumi Shimono's words, Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin and said, "I remember you said that Mr. Funamoto's room is next to his wife, right?"

"Well... that day, because the young master has been playing with him since the evening, he said he was a little tired..." Shigero Takumi said.

Hearing that, Kogoro Maori turned his head towards Officer Mumu, covering his mouth with his hand, and whispered, "Police Department Mumu, I think Daren Funamoto is probably the murderer of the deceased."

"That's impossible." After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Officer Mumu shook his head and denied it: "Didn't I say it before?

The bullet penetrated from the back of Mrs. Kanshi's head to her forehead. From this point of view, the prisoner should be a person above 180 cm.

Mr. Funamoto's height is about 160 cm, plus the other party's leg fracture, sitting in a wheelchair, the height is about 120 cm at most.

How could such a person have a way to create such an injury trajectory. "

"Is it possible that Daren Funamoto's fracture was already healed, and then he was standing in a wheelchair and shot." Kogoro Mouri speculated.

"I also thought about this." Mu Mu shook his head and said, "But Daren Funamoto went to the hospital for a re-examination and X-rays just the day before the incident.

The doctor determined that his bones were not connected, which meant that it was impossible for him to stand up alone, let alone standing on a wheelchair, an unstable place with pulleys underneath. "

"Then there is another possibility."

Mouri Kogoro immediately proposed another method of committing the crime, "He can induce Mrs. Kanshi to shoot her from top to bottom when she is lying on the ground to pick up something..."

"It's also impossible about that."

Tang Ze, who was on the side, came over and said, "I just looked at the balcony and didn't find any bullet marks. If it was what you said, Detective Maori, there should be bullet marks on the ground."

"Yes, let alone the balcony, there is not even a trace of it in this room."

Officer Mumu said solemnly: "Even though we have expanded the scope, we have not found any traces of bullet marks or bullets so far.

And that pearl bracelet and pearl necklace, we searched a lot and couldn't find it.

If it weren't for the robber, it would be difficult for Daren Funamoto to get these two things together, after all, his legs and feet are very inconvenient. "

"Hmm..." Maori Kogoro heard his speculation, which was denied by various clues, and he couldn't help but sighed depressedly: "This button is really confusing..."

Although Maori Kogoro finally guessed the prisoner correctly, but because it was a guess and there was no evidence, but because it was a guess and there was no evidence, there was no way to break through the trick set up by the prisoner.

Tang Ze expressed deep sympathy for this. So many cases were finally right once, but they were regarded as false.

Maori Kogoro and the word "reasoning" are probably not incompatible with each other. Either they guessed all wrong, or they were correct and regarded as the wrong answer...

"Do you think it was thrown away as garbage?" At this moment, Yingyou Hondo, who heard a few people discussing, speculated.

"Do you mean that the other party disposes of the pearl jewelry as garbage, disguised as a robber to kill?"

Officer Mumu shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, this is not the case. We checked every bag of garbage and found nothing."

"Is that so..." Kogoro Mori nodded, looked at Shigeru Takumi and said, "May I ask how much is that pearl necklace worth?"

"I heard that the two together add up to about one million." Shigeru Takumi looked a little depressed: "That was a gift from my husband on her birthday."

"If that's the case, then this kind of jewelry should have a special mark, right?"

Tang Ze heard the words and asked: "For example, the name of Mrs. Jianshi is engraved somewhere, after all, it is precious jewelry, and it is also a birthday gift."

"Well, there is Mrs. Kanse's name engraved on the clasp." Shigero Takumi nodded.

"Hey! Xiaomei, can you come and help me turn up the temperature of the air conditioner?"

Just after Shigero Takumi answered the question, Tatsuhito Funamoto's voice suddenly came from downstairs.

"Okay!" Hearing the shouts from downstairs, Shigeru Takumi quickly walked to the door and shouted, "Go over immediately!"

"Is there no remote control for the air conditioner?" Xiao Lan asked strangely after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Mister is not very good at machines." Shigero Takumi explained after hearing the words, and immediately apologized to everyone and hurried downstairs.

"Let's go down too, there are no more clues for now." Tang Ze suggested: "I want to check the situation on the first floor."

Of course, that's what I said, mainly to investigate the information of Daren Funamoto.

After all, he has now basically determined that the other party is the prisoner, and he also wants to see if he can get any clues from the other party.

"Well, then let's go down and have a look." Officer Mumu nodded, and headed out the door to go downstairs.

Several people went downstairs one by one, and then returned to the living room on the first floor again.

There, Takumi Shimono had just finished adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, and Funamoto and his son were by her side, and the two were talking about something.
