Chapter 19 Who is in charge?
As a person, how could I climb the window in front of so many reporters? Alas, in order to maintain the positive image of the Metropolitan Police Department, I still have to go in through the door openly. Matsuda tidied up his hairstyle and clothes in the rearview mirror of the police car. Well, sure enough, it depends on me to maintain the positive image of the police. If I was secretly photographed by a blind reporter when I jumped out of the window, it would be a big loss to the Metropolitan Police Department, especially in the cold treatment of the crisis of trust.
"Open the door, Mr. Morizo!"
"Please tell us the specific situation!"
"Will Master Juren's wedding be on schedule?"
"Hey? Officer Matsuda! Can Officer Matsuda tell me what's going on this time?"
"I heard it was a murder, is it really the case? Officer Matsuda."
When Matsuda squeezed in, it happened to catch the owners of the villa, Katsuo Morizo and Kogoro Mori joined hands to welcome the policemen like Meguro.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Megu immediately brought Takagi into the door, then closed the door in various ways, blocking the reporters outside.
The dissatisfied reporters suddenly discovered that there was a new continent among them, and the famous criminal policeman Matsuda Jinhei from the Police Department was actually among them.
Uh, this, this, that... Matsuda slowly moved his pace in the crowd and walked towards the gate, but he didn't know how to deal with these reporters.
Do you want me to say I'm late? Isn't this self-destructing my image? And if Megu knows that I'm still blatant to the reporter after being late, will there be a good life?
When Matsuda leaned against the door, the door opened a gap with a creak, and then stretched out a hand to bring Matsuda in.
The speed was so fast that it didn't even leave a slight chance for the reporters to block the door.
After entering the house, Matsuda patted his chest and started to breathe: "These reporters are so crazy."
"Don't worry about them, Matsuda, there's some trouble this time." Meguri said with a serious look on his face: "I heard from Brother Maori just now that this is a murder in the secret room."
"Secret Room?" Matsuda looked at Maori: "I understand, it's impossible to commit a crime again. That little devil Conan must have come with you, why is this time?"
"Do you think I want to encounter such a thing." Maori responded unhappily: "I'm not the little kid from the Hattori family yet."
Hattori? Hattori Heiji? Matsuda's eyes shrank and he glanced at Conan next to him. This guy should be someone who knows Conan's true identity. Why did he come here at this time?
Conan avoided Matsuda's gaze guiltily, which made Matsuda even more confused.
Because of the information that Hattori Heiji appeared, Matsuda calmed down and followed Megu to the murder scene on the second floor.
"Did the doors and windows lock from the inside?" Matsuda noticed the signs of the door being knocked open when he was at the door. He walked into the house and glanced at the window and said, "How did you know there are corpses in this room? What's the matter with the glass in that window? Since there is glass, why is it considered a secret room?" After saying that, a piece of glass in the outer room and the inner room had been broken and scattered all over the floor.
"We saw the windows of the outer room being broken in the yard, and we realized what happened in this room." Maori explained: "My daughter Xiaolan has been outside and has not seen anyone go out from here. The windows of the inner room were broken when the servant Mr. Sakura Ting and the young master of the Moriyuan family had a dispute."
"Argument? Is it in front of you?" Matsuda whispered to a passing forensics police officer, then squatted down and looked at the bloodstains left after the body on the ground was dragged.
"There are two kinds of situations that can be predicted now. One is to kill him. The murderer set up this secret room. The other is to commit suicide with a very small chance, but a certain person set up this secret room for some interest to disrupt our investigation. No matter what, before Maori and the others broke into the house, there must be another person who stepped into this room first, and the matter will be clear when they found him." After Matsuda said that, he looked up and said to Meguri, "Is Takagi still not ready?"
"Here, Officer Matsuda." Takagi walked in from outside: "It has been investigated. The servants were eating in the cafeteria an hour before the incident, and they were discussing tomorrow's wedding procedures. There was no absentee only these five people."
"Oh?" Matsuda stood up and began to count the five people next to him: "Mr. Katsuo Morizo, the owner of the Morizo family, and Miss Yuri Morizo, the eldest daughter, Miss Yurizo, the young master, Morizo, and his fiancée, Miss Kataki, and finally, there are five servants, Yuki Sakura Ting? Hey, did you have any disputes with the victim's housekeeper Mr. Akio Shigematsu? The life of a rich man~~"
"Who are you?" The head of the family could hold back when Matsuda mocked her, but the eldest lady Yurie came out to accuse Matsuda. Women always have the privilege of not having to control their temper. And at this time, as the head of the family, Morienori Katsuo, really couldn't say anything, but Yurie was in her daughter.
"Police Department, what we need to do now is two things." Matsuda wisely bypassed Yurie and said to Memu directly: "The first is to disperse all the reporters of Moriyuan's family now, and they cannot let them walk around in the yard. The second is to organize people to find weapons in the yard."
"Is the weapon in the yard?" After being stunned, Megu nodded immediately: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
"No, it's enough to let Takagi take charge of this matter. It's just that there's a certain chance that the weapon is in the yard." Matsuda pulled Meguro aside: "Police Department, I need you to apply for a search warrant. According to the speed at which Maori and the others found the body, the murderer did not have time to destroy the weapon. If he was not in the yard, he might have been hidden in a certain location in this villa. Although Mr. Mori knows the general idea and will not stop us, we still have to leave the procedure that should be taken."
"Well, that's right, I'll contact Matsumoto Police." Meguru raised his legs and walked two steps before he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Matsuda directing his subordinates and the people in the forensic class to assign tasks to them. Is this the person in charge here?
"Here, Kudo, it seems that this officer Matsuda is a person with a strong dominance." Hattori also noticed that Matsuda was drinking five or six in the crowd in the corner, and teased Conan next to him and said, "No wonder you are treated as a child."
"Hey, you're just a little devil in his eyes." Conan rolled his eyes: "I still want him to look up to you?"
"That's what I mean. Let's compare and see who found the murderer first." Hattori's eyes showed a sense of spirit: "Look at how this famous Tokyo detective suppressed you and couldn't make a fortune."
"I think you're just retaliating for the last incident that hit you." Conan shook his head and ignored Hattori.
"Matsuda, come on." Denmi found something on the balcony of the Luya.
"Look at this place." Not only Matsuda, but also Hattori and Conan came over, and the lock on the door of Tommi: "There is a little blood on this locked lock."
"Is it the traces after contact with gloves?" Matsuda glanced at it: "So, besides the murder weapon, there must be gloves stained with blood. Judging from the amount of bleeding from the deceased, the murderer must have been sprayed with blood."
"Kid, have you noticed who changed clothes among these five people?" Matsuda asked Hattori and Conan next to him.
"No." Hattori and Conan looked at each other and shook their heads surely.
If not, then this is a premeditated murder? The murderer changed his clothes first, prepared his gloves and weapons before coming here to kill the deceased? Matsuda asked Denmi again: "Is there any other discovery?"
"Some." Dengmi took out a bag containing a piece of broken glass: "According to what you said, we carefully checked the door and the broken glass. This is one of them, and a small hole was opened on it. Judging from the shape of the fragments, the hole was located at the edge of the glass, a very hidden place."
"It's not good to be hidden and broken, but unfortunately he was disappointed." Matsuda laughed after seeing the small hole: "One of the two people designed this secret room. What did they say?"
Morizo Kikuto listens to music alone in the house, while Sakura Tin Yuji is looking for the master's cat in the yard. Neither of them is absent.
"Cat?" Matsuda frowned and asked Hattori next to him, "Is it the cat found next to the dead body?"
"That's right." Hattori said with certainty: "I was still shocked."
At this time, Katsuo Morizo comes in: "Mr. Police officer, how long does it take to let Shigematsu lie here? If possible, I want to take his body back to hold a funeral for him. After all, he was already a good friend of my wife and me before he became the housekeeper. If he was buried next to my wife, then I think she would be very happy." At this point, his expression darkened.
"This is not OK, Mr. Morizo. At least our forensic doctor will have to perform an autopsy before you can get your body back." Matsuda said sorry.
"Is that so? What a pity." Morizo Katsuo was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Morizo." Matsuda called him and walked to him: "Can you tell me what habits the cat you keep has?"
"Hmm? Of course." Although Katsuo Morizo agreed, he still said in confusion: "Is this related to Shigematsu's death?"
"I just want to be more cautious and do more evidence." Matsuda explained slightly: "After all, it involves a life, so it's good to be able to understand the situation a little bit more."
