Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

"What's going on, Mr. Suzuki?" Kogoro Mori saw from a distance that the old butler was sitting on the ground with the door open in front of him.

Suzuki Kenji turned his head mechanically: "Master, Master..."

Kogoro Mouri and Conan ran faster.

When I ran to the door and looked inside, I saw Hatamoto Gozo lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Kogoro Mouri hurried over and touched the old man's neck to check his heartbeat.

"No, the old man is no longer able to do it."

The people following behind were frightened by the scene and wanted to rush to Hatamoto Gozo.

"No!" Maori Kogoro stood up and blocked the door: "No one is allowed to enter this room without my permission!"

Hatamoto Natsue sadly threw herself into Hatamoto Takeshi's arms and started crying.

The others also showed sad expressions to varying degrees.

After looking at the scene and the body, Maori Kogoro concluded: "Mr. Gozo was probably murdered forty or fifty minutes ago."

He looked at Butler Suzuki and said, "You are the first to discover this, right, Butler Suzuki?"

Butler Suzuki stammered, "Yes, yes."

"Forty or fifty minutes ago, around eight o'clock in the evening. Where were you at that time?"

"I stayed in the dining room until about eight o'clock to get ready for dinner."

Xiaolan also agreed: "Yes, I remember that Butler Suzuki was indeed busy around us at that time."

Maori Kogoro asked again: "Butler Suzuki, this room was locked when you found the body, right?"

"Yes."

"How do you lock it?"

"Once it's locked from the inside, you can't get in without this key." As he said this, Butler Suzuki took out a key from his pocket.

"The window of the room is not open and the only entrance is locked. It is impossible to break in from the outside." Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and thought: "In other words, this room is completely sealed."

The hatamoto people were talking about it.

"Sealed?"

"Did Grandpa commit suicide?"

"But if it was suicide, then there is nothing that should have been with the body." Maori Kogoro denied this view.

"That's the murder weapon. The cause of death was a knife wound to the abdomen, and he bled to death, but I didn't see any sharp weapon that could have caused such a wound."

"Could it be some sharp ice or something?" Hatamoto Ryuo guessed, "Isn't it a common plot in mystery novels? The ice melts after a while."

Maori Kogoro narrowed his eyes and asked back: "Then let me ask you, would someone who commits suicide do that?"

"Grandpa must be playing tricks on me." Hatamoto Akiie firmly refused to believe that someone had killed his grandfather: "He had long suspected that some people present coveted his property, so he used this method to punish everyone."

"Of course, what I said does not include Xia Jiang." Then she looked at Hatamoto Xia Jiang: "Isn't it? Kind Xia Jiang?"

"If that's the case, then this is indeed possible." Hatamoto Shoji also thought about the old man's usual behavioral logic and gave a positive guess.

"It was suicide, it must be suicide!" Hatamoto Ryuo shouted firmly to Mori Kogoro.

"No, it was homicide! The reason is very obvious," Conan retorted, squatting in front of the door and pointing at the bloodstains on the door frame.

"Look at the door frame here. If the door was closed when grandpa committed suicide, there shouldn't be any bloodstains here.

So Grandpa must have been killed with the door open."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Maori Kogoro tapped his palm: "Master Gozo must have been stabbed by the murderer just as he stepped out of the door!"

"Then who locked the door?" asked Hatamoto Ryuo.

"It was Master Gozo himself who locked the door," a sudden male voice sounded, "He was stabbed outside the door, and hid in the room to escape being hunted down, and finally died."

Conan turned his head when he heard the familiar voice: "Brother Kurokawa?? Why are you here?"

"Brother Kurokawa?/Kurokawa kid?" Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro also made surprised sounds.

I saw Kurokawa Keisawa coming from the corner and yawning.

Kurokawa Keizawa rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Didn't Mr. Gozo's granddaughter get married? I was invited."

"Oh, that's right, Brother Kurokawa is now the person in charge of the Kurokawa Group." Xiaolan suddenly remembered the news she had read before.

"Huh? So the distinguished guest Miss Xia Jiang mentioned earlier is actually Brother Kurokawa?"

"Yes, it's me." Kurokawa Keizawa squatted down and rubbed Conan's head: "What strange case have you been involved in again?"

Damn it, we are involved in the case again.

Conan is smiling on the surface, but he is actually cursing inside.

"Hey, kid, what did you mean just now?" Hatamoto Ryuo interrupted the conversation and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Although I didn't see it," Kurokawa Keizawa stood up and looked coldly at Hatamoto Ryuo: "Isn't this an answer that can be figured out by thinking about it?"

Hatamoto Ryuo was frightened by Kurokawa Keisawa's gaze and didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"I see. Now all the doubts have a reasonable explanation." Hatamoto Shoji nodded in agreement.

"Wow, Kurokawa brother is so awesome!" Conan praised Kurokawa Keisawa in a hoarse voice.

"Wait a minute, wouldn't everyone be a suspect in this case?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly thought.

"The crime happened around 8pm. Xiaolan, Conan, Xia Jiang and I had been sitting at the dining table since 7:30pm, so it was impossible for us to commit the crime.

At that time, Suzuki was setting the table at the next table. It can be seen that the murderer must be someone else who was not in the restaurant at the time. "

Maori Kogoro's eyes swept over everyone.

"Butler Suzuki, did you notice anything wrong when you entered the room?"

"Nothing special," Butler Suzuki thought for a moment and replied, "I remembered that I picked up this flower at the door."

After saying that, he took out the flowers from his pocket.

"This is the flower that I helped Xiao Wu put on!" Hatamoto Natsue looked at the flower in surprise.

The others also looked at Hatamoto Takeshi with questioning eyes.

"In that case, it's no wonder that you came into the restaurant so late." Hatamoto Akiie took two steps forward and looked at Hatamoto Takeshi with a relaxed look.

"No, sister, you misunderstood." Hatamoto Takeshi scratched his head: "I was thinking about something in my room at that time, so..."

"You haven't given up yet, Xiao Wu." Mariko interrupted what Hatamoto Takeshi wanted to say next: "I just heard it by accident when I was outside the door. You and your father were arguing in the room at that time."

“……” Hatamoto Takeshi looked shocked for a moment.

"I'm sure you must be terrified, but you are actually the son of Zaicheng Yongfu!"

"Who is Zaishiro Yufu?" Kogoro Mori muttered in a low voice.

"The chairman of Zaishiro Industry who committed suicide after his company was taken away by Mr. Gozo ten years ago." Kurokawa Keizawa replied in a low voice: "I heard that his wife also died a year later, and his only son was sent to an orphanage."

"What, what?" Maori and the other two all exclaimed in shock.

Kurokawa Keizawa put it succinctly: "This family is the epitome of superstructure corruption."
