Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 76 This case may be an accident, but it is unlikely that this case is an accident



Professor Hirota's home.

The body of Professor Hirota was discovered by Kamiya Minatsuki and others.

Mrs. Hirota called the police, and not long after, the police arrived at Professor Hirota's home.

After on-site investigation, police officer Henggou came to the conclusion: "Although I'm not sure yet, the possibility of accidental death is very high."

An exploration police officer held a trophy and said: "Officer Henggou, it seems that the cause of death was caused by this ornament. Perhaps when the deceased fell down, he hit the ornament on the back of his head and died."

Police officer Henggou reconstructed the scene and reasoned: "It is very possible that the deceased wanted to take something off the bookshelf, so he put his foot on the bookshelf, and then lost his balance. The whole bookshelf fell down and hit the back of his head. The decorations were knocked to death, and the best evidence is that all the doors and windows in the room were locked, and the only key was in the room."

Conan, however, begs to differ.

Adhering to the rigor of a detective, even if it is an accident, it must be treated as a homicide!

Conan pointed to an overturned landline phone on the ground and said: "This phone seems to have fallen down together with the bookshelf, so why didn't the phone fall down? The phone was turned over. Although there was a book covered on it as a cover, this It was obvious that someone deliberately messed up the room!”

"In other words, this case may be an accident, but it is unlikely that this case is an accident!"

Kamiya Minayuki almost lost his breath after hearing this.

Why don't you leave this here for me? !

Dr. Ali couldn't believe it: "Is that murder?"

Officer Henggou said in shock: "Wait a minute, everything in this room is locked, and it's locked from inside. If you say so, then this is a... secret room murder case?!"

Officer Henggou immediately asked Mrs. Hirota: "Madam, is there any suspicious person here tonight to see your husband?"

Mrs. Hirota pointed at Dr. Agasa and Kamiya Minatsuki and said, "Including these two gentlemen, four or five people came here tonight."

Seeing that suspicion had been cast on him, Dr. Ali hurriedly explained: "You are talking about me because a friend of mine accidentally sent a magnetic disk to Professor Hirota by mistake. I just came here to get it back." This magnetic disk, I think that magnetic disk must be next to the computer..."

Everyone looked towards the computer and found that Hui Yuan Ai was already standing on the chair, operating the computer skillfully in front of it.

"All the data on the disk has disappeared. It seems that the data on the computer may also have disappeared..."

Officer Henggou pointed at Haibara Ai and asked Dr. Ali: "Who is this child?"

Dr. A Li explained again, sweating profusely: "He is the child of a relative of mine."

Then Dr. Ali took Haihara Ai out of the chair, turned to Officer Henggou and said: "In short, I have absolutely nothing to do with this case. There can't be a fool in the world who brings a child to kill, right?"

Kamiya Minayuki complained in his heart.

Yes, there cannot be fools who bring children to kill, but there may be children who come directly to kill.

Officer Henggou warned Haiyuan Ai: "Listen, little sister, you are not allowed to touch anything in this room. Just go to another room with your grandfather and brother and wait obediently. Do you understand?"

After being kicked out of the study.

Conan asked Haihara Ai solemnly: "Did they do it?"

Haibara Ai speculated: "It is indeed possible. If there are records of the disappearance of the magnetic disk containing the drug information, and the records I sent to my sister at that time, all are left in the organization, the people of the organization It is very likely that you will follow the clues, predict that the information is here, and come here to retrieve this information.

So maybe the organization originally planned to infiltrate here to recover the magnetic disks, but was discovered by Professor Hirota and killed him. "

Kamiya Minayuki put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall and said lightly: "You still underestimate us. If we come to recycle, if someone finds out, just give him a bullet. It won't happen at all." The scene is so messy. The messier the scene, the higher the possibility of mistakes. This kind of messing up the scene to confuse the public is obviously done by laymen."

Conan agreed: "Indeed, it is too early to draw a conclusion now. It is not too late to first listen to what people who have been here tonight say before making a conclusion."

Conan went and came back, and slipped into the study again.

Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai also followed Conan into the study again.

But Kamiya Minayuki didn't interfere and just leaned against the door of the study and watched.

At this time, Conan, who was sharp-eyed, noticed that the landline phone on the ground was shining.

Conan said in an extremely childish voice: "It's strange. This phone seems to be glowing. This should be called a phone message, right? If you listen to it, you might know something."

Officer Henggou thought what Conan said made sense, so he let Conan stay in the study and started playing the phone messages on the landline.

There were thirteen phone messages in total.

The person who left the first message claimed to be Bai Cang, and left ten messages in total.

The person who left messages on the 11th and 12th calls claimed to be Morioka.

At this moment.

One of the suspects, Bai Cang, appeared at the door of the study.

Looking at a room full of police officers, Bai Cang asked suspiciously: "I am Bai Cang. Could you please tell me what happened? Did something happen?"

Officer Henggou looked at Shirakura with sharp eyes and said: "It's Professor Hirota. I don't know who killed him today. Mr. Shirakura, you left ten messages. Mr. Morioka left two messages. Mr. Shirakura, Don’t you think you left too many words?”

"I said it in the message, because the professor was not there no matter what I called, so I had no choice but to come directly by myself."

Officer Henggou had a good reason to see Bai Cang, so he started playing the thirteenth message, which was also the last one.

"I'm an insurance company. I want to explain to you about our company's new insurance. I don't know if it's inconvenient tonight, but I will call again."

Conan was shocked when he heard this voice.

Although the machine slightly changes the sound quality of the voice, the tone and voice are almost the same as that of that person.

And Haihara Ai walked up to Conan and directly said what Conan was thinking right now: "Vodka."

Kamiya Minazuki showed a subtle smile.

This vodka business is so extensive that even insurance officers have become employees.

Since you are already an insurance officer, you can ask him to handle the fire insurance for your residence next time.

Dr. Ali asked in a low voice: "Did they do this case?"

Conan shook his head and said, "No, it's unlikely that they did it. If they really wanted to come here to get the magnetic disk, they wouldn't have left their voices on the answering machine at the scene."

Haiyuan smiled darkly and said: "Yes, it's the same as what the guy from Kamiya said. If it were them, there would be no need to deliberately make it look like a secret room and make the scene so messy. The reason why The message should be to test whether Professor Hirota is at home. I think they must be dying of panic because they can't get the magnetic tape back."

Haiyuan Ai imagined the anxious scene of Vodka in his mind, not to mention how comfortable he felt.
