The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 170 On-site Inquiry

Just as Hakubamatsu continued to observe the situation at the scene, Inspector Megure also arrived with his team.

When Inspector Megure came in, he first greeted Hakubamatsu and the others.

"Brother Bai Ma, your luck is... a bit bad!"

Inspector Megure said with emotion.

"Ah."

Bai Masong's face looked a little cold, but he agreed with Inspector Megure's statement.

His luck was indeed a bit bad. He even felt that as his relationship with Conan became closer, he was also infected with a trace of the power of the god of death.

No, I need to visit the temple later.

Early detection, early treatment.

After Inspector Megure exchanged greetings with Hakuba Matsu, he saw Maori Kogoro again, so he shrugged his face and said speechlessly,

"Brother Maori is here too, you guys are really..."

You guys are really adding to my workload!

Don’t you know that I, Jusan Megure, am the only one leading the police force in the Metropolitan Police Department?

And running around everywhere every day!

When the time comes, if someone dies and I am asked to go again, don’t even mention 996 now, he would have already counted 007!

Maori Kogoro has also been complained about by Inspector Megure many times. At this time, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly,

"Hehe, Officer Megure, what happened today was purely an accident."

"I think this case is calling me, the famous detective!"

Listening to Maori Kogoro's self-praising words, Inspector Megure waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to talk to you."

"Tell me about the crime scene."

Inspector Megure asked this to Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro.

Afterwards, Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro told Inspector Megure the information they had just collected.

Finally, Inspector Megure summed it up.

"So, the deceased's name is Kaneda Keizo, an associate professor of physics at Jomon University, and he is 29 years old."

"He came here because he was promoted to associate professor today, and Iwama Nobuo, who is also a professor at Jomon University, invited him and lecturer Arai Ryuichi to have dinner here, right?"

"Ah."

The two nodded.

At this time, Takagi Wataru, who was in charge of the forensic department examining the body, also returned to Officer Megure and reported,

"Officer Megure, the cause of death was a puncture wound to the heart caused by a dagger, which caused the heart to rupture and he died on the spot."

"The estimated time of death from the forensic department is around 7:50 in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Officer Megure nodded repeatedly.

"Very good. Have you asked about the alibi?"

Takagi Wataru immediately replied,

"I've asked around, and the store staff all have alibis."

"So the murderer is one of the guests here?"

After hearing this, Inspector Megure said thoughtfully.

"It looks like it should be."

Takagi Wataru replied.

Inspector Megure looked at the waitress beside him again.

The waitress, who was the first person to discover the body, was named Anzai Kyoko.

"You were the first one to discover the body, right, Miss Anzai Kyoko?"

Officer Megure asked,

"Why did you come to Room 8?"

"Oh, yes, it's me,"

Anzai Kyoko said, she was a little scared, and answered Inspector Megure's questions carefully.

"Because, I saw that someone had been in room 8 for a long time, but no one had ordered food yet."

"So, I thought about going in to check out the situation, but who knew I would run into something like this."

At this time, Bai Masong suddenly asked,

"Why is Mr. Kaneda in room eight?"

Yes, this is the first important question.

Keizo Kaneda, Nobuo Iwama, and Ryuichi Arai came together.

But they clearly booked room number three.

Nobuo Iwama and Ryuichi Arai also ate in Room 3.

So why did Keizo Kaneda come to Room 8?

It is impossible to go the wrong way. After all, one is on the left and the other is on the right. The sizes of the houses on both sides are different, so there is no possibility of going the wrong way.

"Yeah, why is Mr. Kaneda in room eight?"

Maori Kogoro also echoed,

"I clearly remember him saying at the counter that he didn't make an appointment in advance?"

After hearing the two people's questions, Anxi Kyoko also said quickly,

"Yeah, I was a little confused at first."

“So, later I saw him walking towards Room 8, so I asked him the reason.”

"But he said he had an appointment with someone else, so I didn't ask any more questions."

After hearing what Anxi Jingzi said, everyone present frowned.

Maori Kogoro said immediately,

"It seems that someone must have arranged to meet Mr. Kaneda Keizo here, and then killed him here."

Inspector Megure nodded, agreeing with Kogoro Mori's statement.

But Bai Masong thought about it, fixed his eyes, and expressed his opinion.

"not only that."

"Mr. Kaneda Keizo said at first that he had not reserved room 8, but later he walked in voluntarily."

"What does this mean?"

Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure were also stunned for a moment when they heard what Hakuba Matsu said, then they reacted and said in unison,

"It means he is an acquaintance of Kaneda Keizo."

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded and said lightly,

"And they're not just acquaintances."

"Keizo Kaneda was completely unprepared for this man."

"Even if this person reserved a room using Keizo Kaneda's name, it's obvious that there was a conspiracy."

"But Kaneda Keisou also thought it was harmless. He believed that this person would not harm him."

"It seems that there are two possibilities for this person. One is that Kaneda Keizo has a very good relationship with him, so good that they feel like brothers."

"The other possibility is that this person has a big handle that Kaneda Keisou has. This handle is so big that Kaneda Keisou thinks that as long as he has the handle on him, this person will not be able to cause any trouble."

Bai Ma Song said so.

Then, Bai Masong pointed at Kaneda Keisou who was lying on the table and continued,

"Look, Mr. Kaneda Keizo's posture looks like he wants to open the door and welcome the guests in."

"But the guest took advantage of his unpreparedness and stabbed him to death."

“This also proves what I said.”

"I see!"

After hearing what Hakuba Matsu said, Kogoro Mori and Inspector Megure looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

But they didn't notice that there was a person off the court who had already started to sweat.

He never expected that Bai Masong had guessed his motive for murder with just a few words.

At this time, Inspector Megure said happily,

"Then, as long as we analyze who at the scene has a big conflict with Mr. Kaneda Keizo, the case can be solved smoothly."

Kogoro Mori also nodded.
