Chapter 40 The Detective
"Both of the deceased died from severe blows to the brain. According to judgment, the murder weapon used to kill the deceased... was these two coins!"
The next morning, the professional coroner brought by Officer Megure handed Officer Megure the coins that had been sealed in a transparent bag with trembling hands.
Because of the series of deaths, Officer Megure came from Tokyo overnight, and later received an autopsy report that made him feel ridiculous.
Bash? Coin?
Officer Memu felt that he would never associate these two words together in his life, but other than that, there was no other better explanation.
Whether it was the crack on the deceased's forehead or the coins stained with blood, they were all telling the police.
The coin is the murder weapon.
On the ceiling of the villa were written the four characters "Bi Tian Xing Dao". It was obvious that this was a premeditated serial murder case.
'That's weird, that's really weird.'
Conan rubbed his chin and looked at the suspects who were being interrogated one by one by Officer Megure. Takeshi Nishimoto, who was mentally disturbed yesterday, would not say anything, but today the village chief’s secretary, Kazaki Hirata, also looked extremely flustered. Many people were obviously
He didn't know anything about very simple things.
'The letter sent to my uncle's house hinted that this would be a serial murder case. Is Secretary Hirata so panicked because he knew that he would be the next to die? But it shouldn't be, if I reasoned
That's right. Kameyama three years ago, Kawashima and Kuroiwa who died yesterday are all related to Keiji Aso, the sender who was burned to death twelve years ago. Logically speaking, the next target should be Nishimoto.
Jiancai is right...'
Conan was in confusion. He actually had a guess in his mind. Honesty Asai was actually the son of Keiji Aso. Honesty Aso had enough motive to kill. But the key was that when Hideo Kawashima died, this person
The Honest Doctor never left the funeral room from the beginning, and he had a sufficient alibi, and the motive for the murder is still open to question, because until now, Conan has not understood why these people wanted to kill Keiji Aso.
At the same time, Soshige Tomori, who was standing on the beach of the public hall, looked at the bag of drugs in his hand and thought about what to do next.
This was the heroin hidden in the piano by Hirata and Akira. It was taken out by Tomori Munesege when he killed Kawashima Hideo. Therefore, Conan failed to discover the fact that Kawashima Hideo and his gang were selling drugs. It was also because of the drugs.
Without a trace, Hirata and Akira were so panicked because they were afraid that they would be exposed.
Tomori Munesege has not yet taken action against Nishimoto Ken, because he could have killed Nishimoto Ken and then started, but Tomori Munesege did not want to let Kawashima Hideo and his gang go so easily.
What Tomori Munesege hated most in his life was drug trafficking.
If murder destroys a person, then drugs destroy a family.
It will plunge an originally warm family into a boundless hell that makes it difficult to extricate itself.
If Nishio Takeru is killed now, the dead will be great, and maybe some good names will be left for them, and they can be buried in peace, which is what Tomori Muneshige doesn't want to see.
He wants to expose the crimes of these people, make them repent to Keiji Aso and all the families harmed by their drugs, and atone for their sins in hell.
"Haha..." After thinking about it, Tomori Munesege showed a smile on his face, "What else is more useful than what a detective says?"
"Ah? It's Brother Tomori, why are you here?"
'Huh? What is this? If you want to take a nap, give me a pillow?'
Tomori Munesege looked behind him at Conan who had appeared at some point, and the smile on his lips grew thicker.
"There was originally a performance at the Yagyu Kendo Hall, but it was suspended because of the murder."
Tomori Munesege explained why he was on Moon Shadow Island.
"So that's it." Conan's eyes flickered, but his eyes were fixed on the bag of white things in Tomori Munesege's hand.
'If I read correctly, this thing should be... heroin?'
Conan was nervous because he didn't want to believe that his classmate was actually a drug dealer or a drug addict.
"Brother Tomori, what is that in your hand?" Conan said, staring at his big innocent eyes.
"Ha, drugs."
Tomori Munege smiled.
"poison?!"
Officer Megure walked out of the piano room. He was observing the death scene of Hideo Kawashima, but suddenly he heard the voice of Tomori Muneshige. He walked over out of curiosity, and actually heard Tomori Muneshige saying that he was at the door.
Have drugs in your hands?
What kind of fuss are you making? Is the son of the sword master a drug addict? Or is he the son of the sword master Yagyu who is called the pillar of Tokyo? Can you please stop making such international jokes?
But when he saw the bag of nothing in Tomori Munesege's hand, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
"Ha." Tomori Muneshige looked at Conan funny. In fact, he knew there was someone in the public hall early, but he thought it was Mouri Kogoro, because Tomori Muneshige knew Conan's identity, but he kept saying "Tomori brother"
She yelled happily, obviously because she was afraid that what she said would be heard by others.
"Well, it was found from the cursed piano."
Tomori Munesege casually threw the drug into Officer Megure's hand, and Officer Megure was so frightened that he quickly caught it with both hands.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Officer Megure handed the drugs to his men, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Tomori, you mean you found this from that piano?"
Officer Megure's expression was serious, because this meant that someone was selling drugs in the public hall.
Drug trafficking is a serious crime and cannot be tolerated.
"That's right."
Tomori Munesege nodded affirmatively.
"Nana, Brother Tomori, why did you come here to search?"
Conan's pure look made Tomori Muneshige want to laugh.
"Due to the murder, the scheduled performance was suspended, so I came to take a look."
Tomori Munesege smiled and touched Conan's head.
'Damn it, this guy Tomori...'
Conan's face was so helpless when he was rubbed by Tomori Muneshige that he even felt that some of his hair had been pulled down by Tomori Muneshige.
"So that's it..."
Officer Memu seemed to understand, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.
He had great faith in Tomori Muneshige's ability to solve crimes. With Tomori Muneshige's participation, this case would definitely become much simpler.
Sure enough, Tomori Munesege quickly said: "During the investigation, I discovered some interesting things."
"oh?"
Conan and Officer Megure both pricked up their ears.
Tomori Muneshige pointed to the large stack of music scores in Conan's hand: "This distant relative of Kudo must have guessed it."
"Kudo's distant relative?!" Officer Megure looked at Conan in shock. Although he was very fond of Tomori Muneshige, the person he loved most (Kiri) was still the savior of the Japanese police, Sherlock Holmes in ordinary times, Kudo Arata.
one.
"Ahaha, actually, brother Shinichi and I are related."
Conan pretended to be shy.
"This matter begins twelve years ago." Tomori Munesege snatched away the sheet music from Conan's unhappy eyes and continued: "Twelve years ago, Aso Keiji came back from overseas because he didn't want to
He was willing to continue to buy drugs from overseas for Isamu Kameyama, Ken Nishimoto, Hideo Kawashima and Tatsuji Kuroiwa, so he was locked in the house by several people and set on fire to death. All of this was written on the note left by Keiji Aso
In the music score.”
"Music...in the music score?" Officer Mu Mu looked at the music score with a confused look on his face.
Tomori Munege threw the music score back to Conan, and asked Conan to answer the code on the music score. The reason why he didn't solve it by himself was entirely because he couldn't understand it. He just remembered the plot. After Conan solved the code, now
Officer Mu immediately looked serious, and then his expression changed drastically.
Conan had obviously thought of something, and ran away in a panic without saying hello to Tomori Muneshige and Officer Megure.
'Damn it, that's it. No wonder Secretary Hirata is in such a bad state today... Wait, when did that guy Tomori discover the drugs? Damn it, it's too late to think about it, I have to rush to Mr. Nishimoto's place first.
'
Through the bag of drugs in Tomori Munesege's hand, Conan has determined that the person who will be killed next must be Nishimoto Ken. He is now walking fast and hopes to find him before Nishimoto Ken is killed.
However, when he ran back to the reception room of the public hall, he found that the most important Ken Nishimoto had disappeared.
'Oh no!'
Conan's heart sank.
At the same time, on the second floor of the public hall, in a room used to store sundries, Ken Nishimoto's forehead cracked with a ferocious crack, and a coin fell at his feet. On the door, there was blood on it.
A few large characters were painted out.
