How to be a great detective

Chapter 6 The Detective Step 6

Mori Kogoro didn't understand why Yayoi, who was behind him when he answered the phone, suddenly asked him the details of the call he had with Mrs. Kusakakawa before he died, but since his apprentice has doubts, the master will still answer: " No, there was only a cry for help, and after Mrs. Cao Chuan said that her husband was going to kill her, the phone was hung up."

"Are you sure?" Yayoi couldn't wait to confirm again.

"It's impossible for me to remember wrongly." Mrs. Kusakawa directly dropped a bomb on the other end of the phone, how could Kogoro Mori miss any details.Although it is a bit strange to think about it now, Mrs. Cao Chuan used the landline placed in the center of the living room, and the place where she was killed was the bedroom.If it was Mr. Cao Chuan who hung up the phone, then Mrs. Cao Chuan, who was in front of the landline before, must have fled to the bedroom...

Before Mori Kogoro could figure it out, Yayoi left a "Thank you teacher" and ran away.There were police conversations around, and Mori Kogoro could still hear the friction between the soles of Yayoi's feet and the floor.

Mori Kogoro stepped on it a few times with his feet. The floor of this living room is not a material that is easy to avoid making noise.

He didn't hear anything, except Mr. Kusawa didn't approach and Mrs. Kusawa didn't run away before hanging up the phone.

Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Mr. Kusakawa must have held something in his hand to threaten Mrs. Kusakawa so that she would not dare to make a sound!"

It must be because the distress call that Mr. Maori received was fake!

Yayoi made a judgment that was essentially diametrically opposed to that of Mori Kogoro.

Mrs. Cao Chuan made the call for help at the instigation of Ms. Kujo. Mrs. Cao Chuan's purpose should be to fake the illusion that she was hurt and take revenge on her husband.But she certainly never thought that her own sister would kill her when she hung up the phone and completely relaxed.This was not a murder on a whim, since the day Mrs. Kujokawa entrusted Kogoro Mori with no opinion, Ms. Kujo had already started to make arrangements.

This can also explain why the "murderer" was clearly on the other end of the phone and could hear Mrs. Cao Chuan calling for help. He didn't consider postponing his murder plan in the presence of witnesses, because what the witnesses heard was not the real murderer at all.

"Sister Yayoi, why are you here?"

It feels good for a while while running, but not so much once you stop.

Yayoi felt that her deduction was correct, but it was still a commonplace question without evidence.

So when she was asked by Conan who was standing in Ms. Kujo's home, she could only frankly admit that her current suspicion was Ms. Kujo, so she came up to look for evidence.

Yayoi inevitably had a bitter face. She thought she had enlightened, but found that she was still at that level.

Such a thing as rapid progress is really impossible to fall on me.

But after all, it was the first time to personally experience the case, so Yayoi quickly adjusted her mentality and asked, "Conan, have you found anything?"

There is a big age gap between the two, but in terms of the time spent studying with Mori Kogoro, even Yayoi's senior brother Toru Amuro can't compare.And from what Xiaolan said, even after taking Toru Amuro as his disciple, Mori Kogoro usually assigns Conan to find some clues or communicate with the police on his behalf at the scene of the crime.

Now, Conan may have a mission on his body.

Even if not, Yayoi believed that he might have discovered some details that he didn't realize were wrong just looking at his very excited appearance before.

Conan was able to share the investigation results with Yayoi who was still in the observation period without any grievances. The big reason is that he didn't find anything.But now, he was only one step away from verifying his conjecture, so it was obviously not suitable for him to talk to Yayoi.

"No, I just want to come here to use the bathroom."

"To the restroom?"

"Because Uncle Otani's house is too messy, Uncle Maoli is at Aunt Cao Chuan's house, he will definitely beat me if he sees me going there, so I have no choice but to come to Aunt Kutiao's place."

The reason Conan came up with was a bit lame, but he followed up with timely remedial measures, Yayoi's only little doubt dissipated, and began to think about a new question.

Shouldn't the victim's and suspect's rooms be properly protected, and can they serve as a place to address people's physical needs while serving as a search location?

Yayoi went to ask the policeman who was standing by the door.

It's impossible for her to ask directly, but she can still knock out something by making side-steps.

"...Theoretically, any action may destroy evidence, including our police taking pictures and other actions. But this is the most extreme situation, and it is generally only very unlikely to happen in secret room homicide cases, because secret room cases will involve some The props left at the scene to form the secret room."

"The secret room, what secret room?" Amuro, who had just come up the stairs, heard the conversation between the two of them, and showed extraordinary interest in the topic of the secret room.

No wonder, the most challenging project for a detective is undoubtedly the secret room.

Yayoi was not very interested in reasoning during middle school, but if she was asked to choose detective novels to read, she would also prefer the secret room type.But from the reader's point of view, I just think it's interesting.

"It's just about the secret room when it comes to the preservation of evidence at the scene." This answer is destined to disappoint the enthusiastic Amuro, so Yayoi emphatically introduces the policeman next to him to Amuro, "But this policeman should be concerned about the secret room case. With a certain understanding, when this case is resolved, Mr. Amuro can share his secret room experience with this Mr. policeman."

The policeman waved his hand, "Actually, Mr. Maori solved the secret room incidents I participated in. Before he could react to anything, Mr. Maori solved the case. If you are other people, I will understand it myself." The whole content has been bragged. But you are Mr. Maori's apprentices, and you can easily listen to the whole process of solving the case from Mr. Maori."

"Maybe it's because I'm not good at learning. Mr. Maori never told me about his case of solving the secret room."

"People who can become Mr. Maori's apprentices are not ordinary people. Mr. Maori should have other arrangements for you, and he will definitely know about it later."

——In fact, Mori Kogoro doesn’t brag to his apprentices about how great he is and how he solves the secret room astutely, it’s just because he was shot by Conan’s anesthesia needle in all the secret room cases, and the process of solving the case is the “favorite” sleep of the police Kogoro.There are more police officers who know the process of solving the case than the police who never get their necks hurt, and they can't even make it up.

Amuro asked: "By the way, where is Conan? I didn't see him in other places just now. He should be at Ms. Kujo's house."

Yayoi was standing at the door, even if she was communicating with the police, it was impossible to ignore whether Conan had come out.

She replied, "It's in there, probably in the bathroom."

The person Yayoi thought was in the bathroom was lying on the balcony railing again.

It was less than half an hour since he was scolded just now!

This time Yayoi was really a little angry. She was angry that Conan had promised her well, and she was angry that she didn't take good care of her. However, her reaction speed was not as fast as that of Amuro. She took Conan off the railing a few steps ahead. pick up.

"Conan," Toru Amuro put him on the ground helplessly. He learned from Xiaolan what happened before, "You must put your own safety first. We are not always there when we are in danger. around."

"Sorry, I know I was wrong."

Conan's apology, since he made the same mistake in one day, doesn't carry much convincing.

"So why did you climb the railing again this time?" Yayoi asked seriously.If you want to prevent the problem from happening again, you must first know the root cause.

"I accidentally threw something from my classmate to the opposite side just now. He will be very angry if he finds out, so I want to get it back." There is a mother of a famous actor, Conan successfully performed what is called weak, helpless and pitiful .

In fact, he just wanted to make an excuse for himself to go to the next door.

Yayoi, the anger that she held tightly to prevent it from disappearing "biu" disappeared again.

For the sake of classmates, what's wrong with valuing friendship?

He is still a child.

"Remember what my sister said, next time you need to do this kind of dangerous behavior, you can just go to my sister. You don't need to do it yourself at all." Yayoi said it three times in total, hoping to make Conan remember.

Conan nodded wildly.

"The things are still over there now, right?" Seeing that Conan tried to climb the railing, Yayoi didn't want to be a person who broke his promise.

However, Yayoi also succeeded in repeating Conan's previous attempt to climb over the railing. After all, Toru Amuro was still standing next to him. He dissuaded him: "This is not good."

Amuro Toru's original intention was that instead of letting Yayoi go, it would be better to let him go by himself, and there would definitely not be any problems.

But Yayoi's brain circuit was not on the same channel as him, and she put down her leg that was on the railing, her face paled, "I almost broke the law!"

Ms. Jiutiao's next door is not a suspect but an innocent resident. Isn't it just breaking into a private house!

It was all her own fault that she was only thinking about not letting Conan turn over, so she got entangled with the word "turn over" in her head, and completely forgot about the law.Fortunately, there was a reminder from Toru Amuro.Otherwise, her first day as Mori Kogoro would also be the day she broke the law for the first time.

Yayoi rubbed Conan's head lightly, "I'll knock on the door of the neighbor next door and promise to get it back for you."

Could it be that she has been out in the cold for a long time today, making her forget the normal way of getting things back?

"Speaking of which, I learned a piece of insignificant news during my previous investigation, but it seems to be useful now. The family next to Ms. Kujo's balcony has traveled abroad and will not come back until next month." Toru Amuro's implication is Knocking didn't work.

What to play.

Conan rolled his eyes inwardly.

He knew that Toru Amuro must have made the same reasoning as him.

"Please the police." No one spoke. Yayoi thought they had misunderstood her meaning, and hurriedly explained, "I mean the police will definitely be able to contact the neighbors, not to let the police know the law and break the law..."

Conan, who was preoccupied with the modus operandi and avoiding Toru Amuro and Yayoi, never thought of the police: "..."

Amuro Toru, who is a policeman in real life but often has to "know the law and break the law" and seems to be getting used to it now: "..."

"Um, is there another question?"

Toru Amuro smiled heartily, "How could there be a problem, please ask the police is the best choice."

The author has something to say:

Think about the world the protagonists live in

You will feel that falling from the third or fourth floor is nothing

In fact, if Yayoi knew what Conan went through in the theatrical version, he wouldn't think there was any problem with him climbing over the railing with such a thin figure
