Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Watch the police take photos and collect various evidence in an orderly manner. Imaguchi Heart also took notes along with the crowd. Imaguchi Heart and even most of the people didn't know what happened specifically, so their notes were very simple. They just asked and passed.

Imaguchi found a very familiar person among the police. He was a young detective who he had met several times before. He didn't know how he happened to be here.

Although I was a little curious as to why I could see him everywhere, Imaguchi was not in the mood to think so much at this time, but felt a little irritable.

Although he is not afraid, he does not want to encounter someone being killed every time he goes out. Is there something wrong with him?

Today I have some doubts about life.

But others continued, and the police quickly figured out the situation. The deceased's death time was between half an hour and an hour. His skin was purple, his pupils were dilated, and there were strangulation marks on his neck. The cause of death should be strangulation. asphyxia.

However, the murder weapon was not found. It can only be judged to be a very soft rope-like thing, but the specific thing is still unclear.

Kudo Shinichi and the adult man next to him also began to wander around and look around. It can be said that their actions are very similar, and even their movements are almost the same.

The police checked the surroundings of the room where the deceased was murdered and found it to be very empty.

This house is an independent small villa. There is only a house in the middle part of the yard, and the other parts are filled with plants. Besides the necessary rooms, there is only this library in the house, and there are no other buildings.

There were bodyguards around the house, so it was impossible for anyone to sneak in, so the murderer might also be in the house.

The cause of death and time of death also confirmed this. The time of death of the deceased was only half an hour before he was found, and no one came in or out of the yard, so it was absolutely impossible for the murderer to leave here.

Therefore, these people in the room are extremely suspicious. However, there are too many people in the house today, so it is possible to investigate, which creates certain difficulties.

There were ten students in Imaguchi's group, and in the house itself, in addition to the deceased, there was a housekeeper, two servants, and four bodyguards standing guard outside.

This bodyguard can be excluded because he is standing guard outside and will not come in easily. But others may have committed the crime.

In particular, many of them have some relationship with the deceased. The housekeeper has been with the deceased for many years, but he has been rumored to be the illegitimate son of the deceased, and there are various gossips about the two people.

The male nanny was known to the deceased a long time ago, but he had some bad habits and liked gambling, so he was very short of money. However, he was very good at driving and cooking.

Later, he was introduced to the deceased. The deceased was quite satisfied with him, so he took him with him and gave him a bite of food. His habits have changed a lot, but he still prefers gambling. Not long ago, he even advanced his salary to the deceased, but he was rejected.

The female nanny was the grocery shopping aunt of the deceased's family. She usually tidied up the house and was not too tired. However, she liked to talk and was always nagging. She did not have much conflict with the deceased.

Now Kou Xin and his group of students, judging from the information, did not have much contact with the deceased at that time. They just organized an event by chance and chose to be here.

But Kudo Shinichi and the others didn't think it was that simple. Although the old gentleman had a gentler temper, he was not that easy to talk to, not to mention that many of these books were very expensive.

How could the old gentleman let people into the library casually, and there were so many unscrupulous students? There must be someone here who is familiar with the old gentleman, so they would have such a big reputation.

Regarding this, Kudo Shinichi focused on this group of students, but Kudo Yusaku seemed to have other ideas and kept looking at the photos of the dead bodies.

……

Imaguchi and the others were able to receive the invitation to hold the event here because they did have some connections. The president of the club is a person who likes reading very much. The elders in the family know the old gentleman and have met the old gentleman himself, so he can let them come here to read.

While it's not particularly easy to investigate, it's not exactly a secret either.

Among the people in this group of people, apart from those who are rich, powerful or famous in their families, except for himself who is an orphan, everyone else's family background is not ordinary.

But if there is anything to do with the deceased, there are only a few of them.

The first is the president. Someone in his family was friends with the deceased.

Next is the vice president. Her family used to be neighbors with the deceased, and they had a relatively close relationship. However, the deceased later moved and their contact gradually decreased.

The third was a student in the club. His father and the deceased were colleagues at the upper and lower levels before, but it was a long time ago and they rarely interacted with each other since then.

Most of the remaining students have only heard of worshiping the dead, but have never actually seen them.

On the other hand, Kudo Yusaku also found something. The strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased were not common and different from ordinary strangulation marks.

First of all, the marks of the thunder marks are relatively shallow, and secondly, there are not many traces of friction around the thunder marks.

This also means that the murder weapon is something very soft but with a very smooth surface.

Kudo Yusaku half-crouched at the scene of the deceased's death, picked up an object from the gap, and showed a knowing smile.
