Chapter 120 Misjudgment
"mom, Mom, Mom……"
Jiang Shouhuang lost his voice.
He stretched out his hand in disbelief, his steps unsteady.
Conan hugged him tightly.
"Let go...let go of me! Let me go quickly!"
The little fat boy pulled hard at the arms that were hugging his belly, and his face was instantly covered with tears.
"Calm down, Akira! Calm down!"
Conan pushed him back and shouted, "If we destroy the scene, we will never find the murderer of Aunt Chunxia again!"
"But...but..."
Jiang Shouhuang gritted his teeth. He really wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms.
But Conan's words made him stop unconsciously.
Through tearful eyes, the images of the bodies of Ogura Junka and Jiang Mingzhezhisuke overlapped each other became clearer and clearer in her mind.
The little fat boy was in a trance for a moment, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.
"Jiang Shou-san!"
"Young Master!"
The people nearby quickly gathered around.
Conan held his limp body and put it on the ground, checked it and said, "Nothing serious, he just fainted from the shock."
His expression was complicated: "Maybe... this is also a good thing for him."
"…Jiang Shou-san is so pitiful."
Ayumi's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt very sympathetic towards his situation: "Who on earth did such an outrageous thing?"
Yuantai, who had always been full of energy, also became listless.
"Everyone, cheer up!"
Mitsuhiko clenched his fists and said seriously: "For the sake of Jiang Shou and the missing Huiyuan, we must find the murderer!"
"Ok!"
The maid took Jiang Shouhuang and said, "I want to take the young master back to rest. You guys don't have to stay here!"
Conan shook his head and said, "No! If we all leave, the murderer may take the opportunity to destroy the scene... Someone must guard this place before the police arrive."
The maid was of course worried, but seeing the children's determined attitude and considering Jiang Shouhuang in her arms, she finally left first.
"Stay here quietly. If you encounter any danger, shout. Security will be here soon. I'll be back soon too!"
Conan nodded obediently.
But as soon as the maid left, he immediately looked around.
"Where is the fatal wound?"
Conan stared at the body of Junka Ogura and searched carefully with his hands wrapped in a handkerchief.
It was soon discovered that all the wounds were concentrated on the back of the head!
"How come there are no gunshot wounds?"
Conan thinks this is totally inconsistent with the Black Organization's killing logic!
When do they kill people by smashing their heads?
Conan was greatly surprised.
He originally thought that the organization came for Haibara and killed the innocent person, Junka Ogura.
But now it seems that it is not ruled out that the murderer came for Junka Ogura and kidnapped Haibara who accidentally saw it.
"Conan! Look here!"
Mitsuhiko suddenly called out loudly.
Conan jumped off the bed and saw a red shadow at the corner of the bed.
He used his finger to test its dryness: "It was left here within an hour."
This case is not complicated, but full of reckless murders of passion.
Conan increasingly feels that this matter has nothing to do with the organization, and that Haibara disappeared because she was implicated.
In his opinion, the murderer pushed Junka Ogura to the ground, causing her to fall on the bed, and then hit the victim's head repeatedly with a heavy object, causing her death.
Then he put the body into the coffin and wiped the bloodstains on the ground, except for the one at the corner of the bed.
Just at this moment, he met Huibara who came to deliver tea, and kidnapped her directly!
Conan looked solemn, he was not happy after deducing the truth.
——If the murderer is not a member of the organization, would Huiyuan still be alive? !
The image of the little girl's body buried in the mud appeared in his mind, but he quickly shook his head and came to his senses.
suddenly!
Outside the mourning hall came the sound of shouting and cursing at the top of one's lungs, as well as a few powerful rebukes.
Conan was shocked and went out immediately!
as predicted!
Several security guards are forcing a young man towards here!
With the not-so-sparse light around him, Conan could clearly see the face of the person being escorted.
"It's you!" He frowned immediately.
It was none other than the young man with a crew cut who had discovered him taking secret photos during the day!
The two suspicions overlapped with each other. Although it was hasty, Conan felt that the probability that he was the murderer was as high as 90%!
"Let me go!" The young man was still struggling: "You are breaking the law!"
Conan looked up and said, "But big brother, it seems that trespassing is also illegal!"
The young man choked.
The security guard next to him immediately shouted, "Tell me! What's your name? What's your purpose for staying here?"
The young man remained silent.
Conan added: "Brother, I advise you to confess. The police will be here soon. You can't escape!"
This makes sense.
The young man hesitated and said, "My name is Koda Kiaki, and I'm here... to look for someone."
Find someone?
Conan was about to ask more, but the security guard next to him suddenly said: "Wait... Koda? What is your relationship with Koda Youta?"
Upon hearing this, Koda Kiaki immediately became excited: "Do you know him? Do you know where he is? He is my missing brother... I came here just to find him!"
The security guard frowned and loosened his grip on him a little.
Conan asked, "What's going on?"
The security guard explained with a complicated expression: "Yota Koda... was the captain of the security team here before. He was trusted by Mr. Tetsunosuke and was his personal bodyguard... But just a week ago, we suddenly received news that he resigned. We wanted to call him to inquire, but we could no longer contact him."
"He must have been killed by Jiang Shoujia!"
Koda Kiaki roared in response.
The security guard moved his lips but said nothing, obviously also having doubts about this.
"So you killed Ms. Ogura tonight in revenge?"
Conan immediately questioned.
Koda Kiaki denied it flatly: "I didn't!"
"Brother, you can't quibble!"
Conan smiled confidently. He had just noticed the uneasiness in the other person's eyes. "Judging from the extent of the wound on the back of the victim's head, the murderer must have a lot of blood on his body... Although it can't be seen from the black suit, it will definitely be exposed once checked!"
He pulled out a photo from his arms and said, "Big brother, you haven't changed your clothes since this morning."
After Conan finished speaking, he looked at Koda Kiaki, trying to detect panic on his face: "If you admit it now and return the little girl you kidnapped, then it can be considered as surrendering!"
But the damn thing is, this guy seems to be more relaxed than before!
"Then let's wait for the police to come!" He seemed nonchalant: "I believe they will be able to clear my name!"
Why is this the reaction?!
Conan frowned and lowered his head to compare the photo, making sure that the other person was not wearing other clothes of the same style. After all, even the stains on the cuffs were exactly the same.
Could it be that he replaced it with another one when committing the crime?
But this doesn't fit the inference of a murder in passion. Is it a bluff?
Conan stopped talking and waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, the police arrived.
The person who came was Officer Shiratori.
Because of working overtime these days, he had two big dark circles under his eyes, just like a nobleman.
Conan even felt that the other party was not far from sudden death.
"The deceased is...Ms. Ogura Junka..."
Officer Shiratori directed the forensic personnel to move the body out, and he sighed as he looked at the familiar face.
He felt that Jiang Shoujia must have offended some unclean creature recently, otherwise why would he be so unlucky?
Shiratori glanced cryptically at Conan, who was holding his chin.
When I came last night, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke died and Jiang Shouyi was injured.
After staying for another night today, Junxia Ogura also died.
He suddenly began to agree with Inspector Megure's words about the god of death, but he sincerely felt that the officer had found the wrong person.
After coughing a few times and putting these improper thoughts behind him, Officer Shiratori asked, "Conan, did you find anything before?"
Conan nodded and repeated his deduction.
Officer Shiratori looked at Koda Kiaki standing nearby, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Koda, right? Please come over here."
Koda snorted and followed.
Soon, the forensic officer came back and reported: "Officer, we did not detect any traces of blood on Mr. Koda."
It’s actually true!
Although he was still surprised by this, Conan had expected it.
He immediately suggested: "Officer Shiratori, there may be other outsiders in the villa. Can you send police officers to help find them?"
Of course the murderer could be an insider. Conan thought he should first investigate the possibility that the murderer was a member of the organization.
The security guard next to him shook his head and retorted: "Impossible! We have already searched the villa!"
Officer Shiratori hesitated.
But then Koda Kiaki sneered, "Impossible? Haven't you found the detective who came here with me to investigate?"
"Detective? What detective?"
"He's the detective I invited to investigate my brother's disappearance. I think his name is Toru Amuro."
Conan asked: "Is he still here now?"
"Yeah." Koda nodded. "We have always been together, but not long ago, he suddenly discovered something and proposed to investigate separately."
Suddenly I discovered something...
Conan looked serious and turned to look at the white bird next to him.
Officer Shiratori nodded and signaled the police behind him to search together.
But time passes by minute by second...
Still no findings.
Just as Conan was pacing back and forth with an impatient look on his face, a forensic officer suddenly came over and whispered something in his ear.
"Are you serious?"
Officer Shiratori exclaimed in surprise.
Conan looked over quickly.
Officer Shiratori walked up to Koda Kiaki and said, "Mr. Koda, can you let me see your arm?"
Koda was visibly flustered, but still said, "No... of course no problem."
He rolled up his sleeves, and Officer Shiratori suddenly grabbed his right wrist: "Mr. Koda, what's the matter with this wound?"
However, there was a small wound two centimeters long on the side of Koda Keiaki's arm.
“…I guess I got hooked up with him somewhere.”
Koda Kiaki pulled his wrist back: "...Officer, is there any problem with this?"
Officer Shiratori did not answer, but just looked at him coldly: "You are the murderer of Ogura Junxia!"
"……What?!"
Everyone was surprised, and Koda Kimei even tried to defend himself: "What are you talking about, Officer! Didn't I just check and there's no blood on my body?"
"There is indeed no blood on your body..." Bai Niao sneered, "But we found the murderer's blood between the victim's fingernails!"
Officer Shiratori calmly presented the evidence: "Ms. Ogura's nails are 'long almond' shaped, about 22 mm long. If the murderer carried the victim into the coffin and the victim's arm slipped, it is possible that the murderer would have been cut!"
He calmly said to Koda Kiaki, whose face changed drastically, "How about... do you want to verify who this blood belongs to?"
Koda's face turned pale and blue.
Finally, he sighed dejectedly: "...No need, I did it."
Conan was very puzzled and asked: "How did you avoid the blood on your clothes?!"
"Technique? No, I didn't use any technique."
Koda smiled bitterly: "I just pushed her and made her hit the bed...there was no blood splattered."
"impossible!"
Conan denied loudly: "It is impossible for just one bump to cause such a group of wounds!"
But Koda was honest about it.
He recalled: "Actually, today is not the first time I've come here."
Koda looked angry: "Since my brother disappeared, I have come here every day to ask...but everyone in the Jiang Shou family is trying to cover up the truth and no one is willing to tell me the truth!"
"Even after I asked him about it urgently, he ordered the security guards to kick me out!"
“I’m angry, but there’s nothing I can do!”
"…until tonight."
He glanced at the body covered with a white sheet: "After I found this woman alone in the mourning hall, I suddenly realized that this is a godsend!"
"With no one else to protect me, I can force the truth out of her!"
"But this woman kept talking about something else! I was so angry that I pushed her hard. As a result, she hit the corner of the bed and fell to the ground with blood all over her head."
Koda gritted his teeth in annoyance: "It's all this woman's fault! If she had told me the truth, I wouldn't have killed her!"
Officer Shiratori handcuffed him and said righteously: "Whose fault is it? You have time to think about it slowly in prison!"
Koda suddenly became deflated.
Conan didn't care about that. He just wanted to ask, "Okay, now you can tell me where you hid Huibara, right?"
"What is Huiyuan?"
Conan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "It was just a little girl with brown hair... Wasn't it that she discovered you committing a crime and kidnapped her?"
Koda shook his head blankly: "No... I haven't seen anyone."
what? !
Conan's eyes widened, and he pointed at the tea tray in the corner and asked sharply: "Who sent this pot of tea? Don't you know?!"
"what?"
Koda was stunned: "When did a pot of tea appear here? I didn't even notice it!"
"What did you say……"
Conan gritted his teeth and glared at him: "Are you playing crazy?! How could you not see such a big thing?!"
Koda just smiled bitterly, "What I said is true... When I came back, I was so distracted by the murder that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings."
"Come back...what do you mean..."
Koda explained: "I saw her fall to the ground and ran out in fear, but the cold wind calmed me down and I realized that the scene had not been handled, so I returned."
Conan's pupils trembled, and his tone was full of disbelief: "...You mean...you left before?"
"Yes." Koda Kiaki nodded.
Conan gasped rapidly, his brain was deprived of oxygen and his vision went dark!
Ruined! ! !
