Conan and I start the hell-level main line

The sky gradually darkened and a drizzle began to fall outside. The gray sky seemed particularly depressing, perhaps foreshadowing the changes that were about to happen.

It's all a tragedy here...

Led by Okudaira Eiko, Kogoro Mouri and others came to the swimming pool. Conan wanted to see the crime scene with his own eyes.

Since the murder a year ago, the water here has been drained and has not been used again. However, it has been washed away by rain and there are almost no clues.

As a result, Hondou Eisuke's unlucky physique took effect and he slipped and fell into the swimming pool. It was Kogoro Mori and Hoshi Natsume who pulled him out.

However, Conan keenly noticed a detail. When Hondou Eisuke stood on tiptoe, his nose just exposed the water surface, which was very problematic.

After returning to the living room, Okudaira Eiko took out her son Okudaira's clothes for Hondou Eisuke to change into, and praised his figure for being a perfect fit.

Conan and Natsume looked at each other, and their detective sense immediately made them aware of the clues, which was definitely not a coincidence.

Tabata Kikuyo, who had gone out to buy things, came back at this time, and Segawa Kiraro also came over after finishing his business, and the few of them just happened to gather together.

As we all know, in the world of science, when everyone is together, only the unlucky dead are not there. When all the conditions are met, a case will occur.

What an integrated procedural flow of cases, Death Card Industry, you deserve it. (Inspector Megure cursed: Get lost!!)

boom--

Suddenly, a huge sound of ceramic breaking was heard. Everyone in the living room heard it, and Okudaira Eiko asked in surprise.

Segawa Kiro: "It seems to be the sound from the study!"

Tabata Kikuyo said expressionlessly: "I'll go over and take a look."

So Segawa Kiro and Tabata Kikuyo went to the study together. Maori Kogoro looked at him with a ridiculous expression and asked if the big vase was broken.

Hondou Eisuke answered honestly that it was Uncle Kakuzo's favorite vase worth 5000 million yen.

5000 million? ? Maori Kogoro's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Conan didn't hurt him, otherwise his pants wouldn't be enough to pay for it.

Boom! Suddenly there was a roar of thunder, and with the flash of light, all the lights in the house went out. In the darkness, the evil of hatred arrived as promised.

"Don't open the door!!!" At this time, Ao Pingjiaozang in the study shouted with despair and fear at the top of his lungs.

"Ah, what's that sound?"

The three detectives, Conan, Natsume Hoshi and Mori Kogoro, reacted quickly and felt something was wrong. They ran out immediately and saw Tabata Kikuyo and Segawa Kiro had opened the study door and were standing at the door. What they saw scared them so much that they stood there in a daze.

When they also arrived at the door, their faces were solemn. In the dark study, they saw Aoping Jiaozang hanging under the eaves with a rope around his neck, his body still swaying from side to side. Outside the window, there was a loud thunder, and the eerie lightning shone on the face of the corpse. This was the accompaniment of death.

"Husband!" Okudaira Eiko was so terrified that she wanted to run inside, but Tabata Kikuyo quickly hugged her and told her to be careful of the broken vase pieces. Then the two of them tripped and the books on the ground were scattered.

"What are you standing there for! Put him down quickly. He should have been alive just now. Now he's hanging and maybe he can be saved!" Natsume Xing lost his temper at these people who were standing there in a daze and were a step too slow, and shouted.

After a while, the lights in the room came on again. Maori Kogoro and Natsume Hoshi worked together to find a way to put Ouhei Kakuzo down, but they were shocked to find that the knot was tightly entangled and could not be loosened at all.

Natsume: "I can't untie it. Is it glued? Quick, bring the scissors and cut the rope in the middle!"

Conan came to the crime scene where the vase was broken, squatted down, and found water marks on the edge of the vase. He turned his head and looked around. There were many books on the ground, scattered everywhere. Also, why was the cart full of books not far from the deceased?

Conan kept the doubts in mind. Xiaolan was professional at calling the police a hundred meters away and notified Officer Megure and called an ambulance. Natsume Hoshi and Mouri Kogoro also hid the Okuhei Cape.

It’s a pity that the person still died.

Natsumehoshi (ー_ー；): This amount of time is really too much.

Not long after, Inspector Megure and old acquaintance Inspector Takagi arrived. They glanced at the silly and grinning Kogoro Mouri and Conan with speechless and even murderous eyes, and without saying a word they started working.

Officer Takagi briefly learned about the time of the crime. When Okuhei Kakuzo hanged himself, everyone was in the living room and had alibis, so it was possible that it was suicide.

But it is well known that suicide is 90% non-existent in the world of science.

Anyway, Kogoro Mori continued to support what he thought was right, but this confused Kogoro determined that it was suicide and made up a bunch of inexplicable reasons.

Natsume rolled her eyes at him, "Then why did the deceased ask not to open the door when we opened it?"

"If the deceased had already hanged himself, why did you say such loud words?"

! ! With that sentence, everyone started to think, and Maori Kogoro's previous outrageous view was overturned in a second. Maori Kogoro was responsible and analyzed it seriously, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that this bastard apprentice always liked to undermine me...

Inspector Megure: "If he hanged himself because he was shocked by the broken vase, you guys would have rushed over when he was talking loudly, and there would have been no time to hang the rope."

Conan noticed a book right under the body and said, "Could it be because of this that you see the book is stained with blood."

Officer Gao Mu picked up the book and said, "The Killer from the Underworld? Wait, you see, the blood dripping on it is obviously intentional. Could it be a message of death?"

Natsume Star: "A few drops of blood dripped onto the two characters 'Huangquan', and then a Chinese character 'two' was dripped out of the blank space below?"

Officer Takagi: "It feels like the hiragana 'ni', but if you look at it sideways it looks like the hiragana 'ha' or 'ri'."

Inspector Megure was still inclined to believe it was murder (it was always like this...), "If this is really a death message, it means that your master was killed by someone in this room."

Okudaira Eiko, Tabata Kikuyo and Segawa Kiro, as expected, are the classic three choices. Very good, then let's ask our three suspects to tell us what they did before the crime.

Let’s welcome suspect No. 1, Okudaira Eiko. Okudaira Eiko spent most of the time with the protagonists. She first took them to the swimming pool and prepared coffee for Okudaira Kakuzo on the way.

Please welcome suspect No. 2, Kikuyo Tabata. Because Kakuzo Okuhei wanted to drink coffee, Kikuyo Tabata went out to a nearby supermarket to buy creamer and syrup. When she came back, she heard the master's screams. She also took out the receipt, but the coffee had been taken away by then.

Let's meet suspect No. 3, Segawa Kiro, who had been maintaining Okudaira's car in the garage at the time and denied delivering the coffee.

Inspector Megure asked about Okudaira Kazuo, and Kikuyo Tabata answered truthfully. Kogoro Mouri also admitted that he came here to solve the case. Conan also came up to interject and said with a smile that he found the notebook hidden by Kakuro Okudaira. It seemed that he was very much looking forward to Uncle Kogoro's reasoning.

Maori Kogoro went up and punched him directly. This kid is really getting more and more outrageous.

Natsume Hoshi was laughing on the side. The only one who could restrain Conan was Mouri Kogoro. Conan covered the big bump on his head and glared at him unhappily.
