Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Mino Suo was lying on the ground beside the cabinet, with his mouth open and his eyes wide open.

A yellow tie was tied around the neck. Judging from the marks on the neck, this tie was the murder weapon that caused the deceased to suffocate to death. It seemed that the murderer put it on the deceased after the murder.

"Really? Teacher Meinong opened the cabinet doors on both sides at the same time..." Gao Cheng asked Yuanzi and others about the specific situation when the corpse was found, and squatted beside the corpse with a slight frown.

After all, he was not at the scene, and he didn't know what the suspected murderer Mino Zongzhi had done, and from the discovery of the body to the arrival of the police, there was too much time to clean up the aftermath.

The whole incident probably happened that Mino Zongyuki and his son-in-law stayed alone in the warehouse for a while, and then they broke the plates and asked the students to help clean up. At this time, the deceased had disappeared, and according to Mino Zongyuki, he had left the warehouse.

Afterwards, Mino Zongzhi left the students to go to the kiln without going back to the warehouse. After cleaning up the debris, the students went to the pottery classroom to knead pottery. They accidentally injured their fingers and asked the female assistant to go to the warehouse to get a first-aid kit.

The location of the first aid kit...

Gao Cheng looked at the open cabinet.

There are folding sliding doors on the left and right sides, the left side is full of drawers, the bottom layer on the right side is full of clothes, and a small shelf above contains some sundries, and the first aid kit is on the right shelf.

The crux of the problem was that the female assistant didn't see anyone inside when she took the first aid kit. The second time Mino Zongzhi opened the cupboard, the body fell out by itself...

Gao Cheng's thinking was running fast, and all the unnecessary sounds around him disappeared, leaving only him and the crime scene.

As if going back in time, through a series of details, the state of the corpse when it was in the cabinet was deduced.

Apparently, the body was hidden behind the coveralls.

The tie tied around the corpse's neck was very strange, and the tie pins showed obvious signs of being pulled. It is most likely that the murderer used this tie to hide the corpse.

Gao Cheng stepped forward to personally experience the difference between opening both cabinet doors at the same time and only opening the right door.

In addition, the rolled up sleeves of the deceased's arms were of different lengths, indicating that the deceased was killed suddenly when he was about to change his clothes and go to help in the pottery classroom.

There is no doubt about the time of death or the murderer, the only problem is the method of hiding the body.

Deliberately breaking the plates to attract students to come over to help clean up,

Then he left to make an alibi, and then asked the female assistant to get the first aid kit when he was injured...

Gao Cheng looked at the gap in the folding door on the right side of the cabinet.

It happened that the corner of the apron at the back of the first-aid kit was exposed through the gap. Judging from the condition of the corpse, it was unlikely that the apron was caught, and it was possible that there was another piece of plaid.

Feel the underside of the cabinet door, there are less obvious sticky marks.

Gao Cheng slightly closed his eyes.

Cupboard doors, aprons, ties...

A feasible method gradually took shape in my mind.

It's just that there is no evidence, and Mino Zongyu has enough time to clean up the aftermath. If there is really a piece of camouflage plaid, it may have been cut into pieces and flushed into the toilet.

"Police department!" Takagi returned to the pottery classroom from outside, "It has been confirmed, the victim has indeed just bought an insurance..."

Glancing at the female assistant, Takagi moved closer to Mu Mu's ear and said, "Miss Kikuyo still has a debt..."

"Oh?" Mu Mu raised his eyebrows, and turned to the female assistant in a deep voice, "Miss Kikuyo, I heard that you seem to have about ten million in debt, right?"

"Yes, yes," the female assistant looked worriedly at the suspicious Mu Mu, "because I have taken a fancy to a very nice apartment... What's the problem?"

"It's nothing, I just find it a bit strange," Mu Mu said with a serious face, "Because the deceased just took out the insurance not long ago, the beneficiary seems to write your name, and the insured amount is exactly 10 million...Is this a coincidence?"

"I," the female assistant grabbed her finger, "I don't know, even if it's like this, I don't need to kill people..."

"Didn't you come here to get the first-aid kit in the cupboard before you found the body? If you didn't kill someone, you should have found the body, right?" Mu Mu asked.

"Didn't I say that?" the female assistant argued, "I opened the cupboard, but there was really no one in it... Besides, it only took me less than a minute to get the first-aid kit, how could it be possible to kill someone in such a short time?" How about hiding it in a cupboard?"

"I heard that when Teacher Mino was injured, you were the one who offered to get the first aid kit. Maybe the body was already hidden in the cabinet at that time."

They discussed: "It may also be to let everyone find the corpse later, so I offered to get the first aid kit, and then when I opened the cupboard, I exposed the apron of the corpse hidden inside from the right door." ..."

"How, how is it possible?" The female assistant turned pale, "I didn't kill anyone at all!"

"That's enough, Kikuyo," Mino Souyuki sighed and shook his head, "I've seen it all, you told Suo last time whether you would die for your debts... I never imagined that you could really do such a thing? "

"Is it true?" Mu Mu's face became more serious.

"It's really not me, I'm just joking with him," the female assistant panicked, "You have to trust me, Mr. Police Officer!"

"If you have anything to say, go to the police station and talk about it."

Takagi made a gesture to take the female assistant away, but Mumu remained silent.

"What's wrong, Police Department?"

"I just feel like something is missing..."

Mu Mu looked puzzled at Gao Cheng who was silent by the warehouse.

If Maori was here, he would probably start to fall asleep in a weird manner, and start overturning his judgment by the way.

But now Gao Cheng didn't speak, which made him even more uncertain...

Gao Cheng followed the forensic personnel out of the warehouse, just in time to meet Mu Muyouyou's eyes.

He has also seen the situation of the female assistant Kikuyo, and on the surface it does seem to be a lie.

It can only be said that the female assistant was designed by Minozong from the very beginning. The murder had been prepared a few weeks ago, and the female assistant would become a suspect no matter what.

Because neither Conan nor him were present, and Xiao Ai didn't pay attention, almost no one noticed what Mino Zongzhi did.

However, not being present does not mean that the case cannot be solved. Through some details, the incident can still be deduced and restored.

The truth is not so easy to hide...

Gao Cheng looked at Mino Zongzhi, who was showing a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were solid.

"Teacher Mino, may I ask you to go to the cupboard?"

"Ah?" Minongzong's expression was slightly stiff, and he opened his mouth to look at Gao Cheng. After a while, he came back to his senses and walked into the warehouse in doubt, "Is there any problem?"

"Is there anything exposed under the cupboard?" Gao Cheng asked.

"So..." Minongzong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to see something on Gao Cheng's face.

This bad feeling came again, as if he was seen through, but he obviously came up with such a perfect technique...

But even if it is true, there is no proof.

Mino Zongzhi wiped his sweat secretly: "There is nothing."

Gao Cheng continued: "Can I trouble you to open the cabinet door on the right?"

Mino Zongzhi's palms became more sweaty, and he opened the cabinet door on the right side with a dry smile: "Detective Kido, what's the matter with you?"

Gao Cheng didn't talk to him: "There's nothing in the cupboard, right? You can close it now, and try opening the left and right cupboard doors at the same time."

"Ah!" Xiaolan watched the cabinet door close, suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the gap in the cabinet on the right, "A piece of cloth is exposed underneath!"

"really have!"

Gao Mu and the others looked at each other in dismay: "What's going on? It was obvious that there was no..."

Gao Cheng didn't explain, but just stared at Mino Zongzhi and said calmly: "Mr. Mino, can you please open both sides at the same time now? Just like you did before you found the corpse."

grunt.

Mino Zongzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and opened the left and right cupboard doors, and suddenly saw a mop fall out of the cupboard, followed by a look of horror on his face, staring blankly at the mop lying at his feet.

"It seems that you should understand what I want to say, Teacher Meinong," Gao Cheng stepped forward under the suspicious eyes of others, holding the tie sealed as evidence in his hand, "If it is evidence, maybe you didn't pay attention , but there are clearly a few fingernail marks left on the necktie of the murder weapon, which are traces of clay on the teacher's fingertips... Do you want me to reason in detail?"

"Plop!"

Mino Zongzhi looked at the tie tremblingly, fell to his knees powerlessly, and buried his head in pain.

"It was my daughter's whole hearted Christmas present to that man, I never thought of wearing gloves..."
