[Conan] I really have a backstage

Chapter 18 This Cracked Corpse (2)

The corpse was lying quietly in the lower cavity of the dining car. The stench of the corpse and the pungent smell of formalin permeated the air. This was the first time Yuanzi saw a corpse like this. Yulan accompanied him and took the first step. Went to the bathroom to vomit.

The police officers headed by Police Officer Kusai sealed off the scene for further investigation.And Mori Kogoro also participated in the investigation in the name of "famous detective".

The body was found by Conan.

It couldn’t be more coincidental, as soon as Riho finished talking about the unsolved case in Germany, Conan immediately got up and ran out, went around the restaurant looking for a dining car, and finally found the dining car that would hold the corpse—that is, the one he almost got into before. .

"I've smelled formalin before~ so I have a little impression, when the dining car passed by before."

As the first discoverer, Conan explained the reason for discovering it.As he spoke, he touched the bag on his head, and looked at Mori Kogoro with complaining eyes.

If the uncle hadn't grabbed him, he would have found the body earlier!

——But in fact, Ren didn't expect that someone would soak the corpse in formalin and put it in the dining car, so he didn't catch up afterward.

The ins and outs of the discovery of the body have been clarified, and after the unsolved case mentioned was considered, the police department regarded the German murderer coming to Japan as one of the possibilities, and the other was that someone followed suit.

At the same time, the victim was also found out. His name was Junko Yingkouji, and he and her husband Jinggui Yingkouji were both shareholders of a local company.The husband who was summoned came to the scene quickly, and was stunned for a moment after discovering his wife's body, and then burst into tears.

"Mr. Sakurakoji, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, but can you cooperate with our investigation and answer a few questions?"

Ying Koji Jinggui wiped away tears and nodded.

The officer quickly motioned to his assistant to start recording, and then began the routine questioning.

"May I ask when was the last time you saw your wife?"

"Well... three days ago, she said in the morning that she was going on a business trip to Tokyo, and left after packing her luggage."

"Did she act abnormally at that time?"

"No...she's quite normal."

……

A series of cross-examinations made no substantial progress. Risui looked at the big and small detectives around him frowning, thinking that the body was discovered too late this time, and it was really difficult to solve the case.

"Why do you think the murderer disposed of the body like this?" Riho poked Amuro Toru with his elbow.

Toru Amuro shook his head, "I think the possibility of the German guy coming to Japan is relatively small."

As he said that, he took a step forward, stepped forward and began to talk to Jinggui Yingkoulu.Amuro Toru's ability to speak is first-rate, and the two of them chatted for a while before he started to get down to business.

"Oh my God, have you ever been to Europe? I've always wanted to go there."

"Huh? No, no, it's not…"

Sakurakoji denied Amuro's inquiry.

But the momentary panic he showed was still caught by Riho and everyone. Sera squatted next to Conan and whispered, probably discussing the case, while Riho leaned aside to think about Sakurakoji Jinggui's reaction.

"He's a little suspicious." Riho said to Amuro Toru who came back.

"No, it's not a little bit, it's very suspicious." Toru Amuro shook his head. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Riho frowning in a serious manner, and couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic in his heart.

This kind of Riho appears to be a little more mature in temperament, more like the autumn maple bird in the past.

No, no, you should think about the case now!Toru Amuro patted his head helplessly, turned his face sideways and sighed.For him, Kaedoriin Akira or Jingu Riho has always been a foul.

And Riho, who watched Toru Amuro slapping himself on the head with a troubled look on his face: ...? ? ? ?

At the end of the interrogation by the police officers, the autopsy results came out just in time—a woman around 36 years old, poisoned, died between 2 and 8 in the morning three days ago.There are also a few photos of the dead body.

There is a little time difference between Jinggui and Sakura Koji.

This point of access is the key to solving the case. The police once again called Ying Koji for questioning, but Ying Koji categorically denied this point of access, and his suspicious denial and guilty look became more and more like he was the murderer. When the police were impatient, Kogoro Mori suddenly spoke out.

"I said... what is engraved on this necklace around your neck? Jingzhi...is your nickname?"

Ying Koji Jinggui was also stunned. After looking at the photo for a while, he raised his head with a strange expression and spoke to the police officer.

"Sakura Koji Jingzhi...is my younger brother."

"Hi, I'm Yingkoji Jingzhi, please give me your advice."

A man in a white lab coat came, with thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the attitude of the researcher was obvious.

"Excuse me, is there any relationship between you and Junko Sakurakoji?"

"What's your problem? She is my sister-in-law. She has always been gentle with others. Our relationship is not bad. "

"It's okay? Then why does she wear a necklace with your name engraved on it, Mr. Sakurakoji Keichi. It's just a relationship of 'can', shouldn't it be like this?"

Yingxiaolu Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, his sister-in-law was wearing a necklace with her name engraved on it, anyone would be dumbfounded if such a thing happened to him.

But he still shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Then when was the last time you saw Miss Sakurakoji?"

"It seems... four nights ago, my sister-in-law and my brother invited me to dinner at home. After I got off work, I went directly to my brother's house from the research institute."

"and then?"

"Then...my brother-in-law and I had dinner, chatted for a while, and talked about my latest invention, and I left after the meal."

invention?Riho half-closed his eyes, his probing eyes glanced at Sakura Koji Keitomo, and then he looked up at Toru Amuro as if habitually.

Coincidentally, Toru Amuro also looked down at Riho.

"..."

Riho sneered, turned his gaze back, and Toru Amuro twitched the corners of his lips.

"Yes, my new invention, but it hasn't been released yet... It's a hallucinogen, and the research institute plans to use it for...well, it's your police, as an interrogation product."

In the research institute where Jingzhi Sakurakoji works, part of the research funds are allocated by the state, and there is naturally some cooperation with the state.

"However, this hallucinogen cannot be used in large quantities. Once it is overdose, it is very likely to be life-threatening."

After saying that, Yingkouji Jinggui couldn't help shivering.

Later, he asked Jingzhi Sakurakoji a few questions about his relationship with Junko Sakurakoji and the relationship he thought his brother had with his sister-in-law. After the inquiry was over, Kogoro Mouri pondered for a moment, coughed and coughed, and started his reasoning.

"The murderer is, Ying Koji Jinggui! You have always had shareholding issues with your wife, and that night after you heard your brother introduce hallucinogens, you had an evil idea to let your wife take hallucinogens and then split the shares. Sign the contract, but died due to excessive use. Then, in order to cover up your crime, you tried to imitate the cold case in Germany, so that the police thought it was the same murderer, so as to clear your suspicion!"

It sounds like such a reason... Uncle's thinking is really in line with the development of the case investigation... But it may also be because this case is too simple.

Conan looked at Kogoro Mori with half-moon eyes, and complained silently in his heart.

But while the reasoning is correct, it still lacks...

"You! You spitting blood!! What evidence do you have to prove that I killed you!"

"...um..." Mori Kogoro rubbed his head.

The scene suddenly became awkward, and just as Riho was covering his face, a voice suddenly came.

"I don't believe it either! My sister-in-law installed surveillance cameras in the living room and bedroom before. She said that her jewelry was lost, and it might be a house thief. That's why she installed the surveillance cameras. You policemen can go to the surveillance cameras if you don't believe me. My brother will never do it." Such a thing!"

Surprised eyes of the crowd turned to the source of the voice, Sakurakoji Jingzhi. He looked at Mouri Kogoro angrily, and then stepped forward, protecting his brother behind him.

Afterwards, the development went very smoothly. The surveillance that was originally intended to remove suspicion became evidence. The fact that his wife pretended to be a surveillance was a wrong move by Ying Koji Jinggui. In the bedroom surveillance, Ying Koji Jinggui gave his wife milk, and then his wife The appearance of twitching and falling to the ground is very clear, Ying Koji Jinggui can no longer justify, he can only admit that the facts are the same as Mori Kogoro's reasoning.

It seems that the farce caused by the unsolved case mentioned by Riho finally came to an end. Mori Kogoro's death traits are really extraordinary. Riho, who was with Mori Kogoro twice in a row and encountered a murder case twice in a row, was silent in his heart Think of it, and pull Mori Kogoro into the blacklist.

It was already early morning when all the dust settled, Riho stretched and yawned, tears fell in the corners of his eyes, but before they fell, they were wiped away by a hand.

She was terrified, but found that it was Toru Amuro who withdrew his hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Are you sleepy? Do you want me to carry you back to sleep, uncle?"

The original drowsiness was half dispelled at once, Riho glared at Toru Amuro, thinking that this guy would not let this stalk go tonight.In order to cover up the little bit of excitement in her heart and the anticipation she would never admit, Riho hastily changed the subject.

"I'm a little weird."

"what?"

"Although this case was solved smoothly, I never figured out why Junko Sakurakoji installed a surveillance camera and kept it from her husband?"

Amuro Toru's expression also became a little serious, and this question has been in his mind from the very beginning.He looked at Conan and Shiliang on the other side, and found that the two were not completely relaxed after solving the case.

"And it's fine if the husband doesn't know..." Riho stroked his chin with his index finger, paused, and continued:

"My husband's younger brother knows?"
