Kamikawa Shun talked about Mouri Kogoro again, trying to reduce his hostility towards Mouri Kogoro. "Mr. Mori used to be a detective at the Metropolitan Police Department. He worked under Officer Megure and was the ace in the police academy. However, he later resigned and became a detective for unknown reasons."
Tsukamoto Junji nodded and asked a question. "You are here to investigate. Do Mr. Ninety-nine's family members know?"
"You know, we've already said hello to Madam." Kamikawa Shun lied.
Kaito clicked his tongue in his heart. This guy's lying skills were as good as his own. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have thought Madam Ninety-nine had really agreed.
Kaito rang the doorbell.
A maid heard the bell and came to open the door.
"You are?"
Kamikawa Shun pointed to the plainclothes Junji Tsukamoto to the maid, "This is a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. He feels that the death of Mr. Kujimoto Yasu is somewhat suspicious and wants to check the scene again."
Although Tsukamoto Junji thought this was a bit strange, he still trusted Kamikawa Shun and didn't think much about it.
"Okay." The maid had also seen the police officer yesterday, and opened the door without any suspicion.
"Officer Tsukamoto, can you tell us about the situation at that time?" Kaito asked.
"It was the deceased's wife and three apprentices who discovered the deceased at that time. According to the wife, they had a magic show at the Cupido Hotel that day. Mr. Yasu Kujiyuan did not participate because he disliked the low pay and stayed at home. Later, the wife After returning home, they found no one from Mr. Ninety-nine, so they went to the basement where the deceased often practiced magic to check, and found the body of the deceased."
The three of them were walking and talking.
"What was the cause of death?"
"He committed suicide by taking poison. The poison was aconitine, which is a toxin that anesthetizes the nerves."
Because they all went to attend the memorial service, there was no one in the villa. The three of them followed the maid all the way to the basement. The basement was still in its original state and untouched. The place where the deceased died was covered with white tape.
"Has anyone touched the basement?" Junji Tsukamoto asked the maid.
The maid shook her head, "Because Madam is very confused about the cause of Mr.'s death and plans to invite a detective to investigate, the basement is still the same as before." After a while, she left the room to avoid any more visitors.
Kamikawa Shun and Kaito both put on gloves to avoid getting their fingerprints on something or damaging the scene. As a person in the forensics department, Tsukamoto Junji would naturally not make such a mistake. He originally wanted to remind the two of them, but saw that they put on their gloves faster than him.
And the action of wearing gloves is fast and good, very professional.
Why do you carry gloves with you? So professional! !
"How did the police determine that Mr. Ninety-nine committed suicide?" Kaito asked.
"The four people who found the body at the time all had alibis. There were no signs of being tied up on the body, and no sleeping pills were detected on the body. Moreover, the villa was locked and the basement was closed from the inside. The police did not find any There were no signs of intrusion from the outside. The deceased also showed no signs of calling for help, so it is judged that the deceased died of suicide by taking poison."
Junji Tsukamoto explained the results of the police investigation.
Kaito looked at the many photos hanging in the basement. Those hanging on them were all the apprentices taught by the master of magic, Jiujiu Yuanyasu, over the years. It can be said that there are apprentices all over the magic world.
"Huh?" Kaito noticed a picture frame that was unusually clean compared to other picture frames, as if someone had wiped it alone frequently. He had the impression that the person in the photo frame was Kinoshita Yoshiro, who died on the stage fourteen years ago. At that time, he was a rising star in the magic world, a genius among geniuses, with super strength and popularity, but he later died on stage due to a performance error.
Kamikawa Shun looked at the place where the corpse fell. The movement of the deceased's body was very strange. There were no hand positions, as if his hands were tied. But the police found no signs of binding on the body.
"Officer Tsukamoto, what was the posture of the deceased's body at that time?"
Junji Tsukamoto recalled, "The deceased put his hands under his body and lay neatly on his back."
"It's a bit strange." Kamikawa Shun touched his chin. According to his experience, people who take poison usually involuntarily cover their chests or choke their throats to relieve pain before they die.
¡°I also find it very strange, but when I checked the body, I really didn¡¯t find any traces of being tied up.¡± Junji Tsukamoto was also a little puzzled by this. As a forensic doctor,As a retired forensic officer, he still knows these things very well.
"How can we tie our hands without leaving any trace?" Kamikawa Shun pushed Kaito with his elbow. Reasoning should be left to people who are good at it. Although Kaito is not a detective, he has a high IQ and can play tricks on a certain detective.
Kaito looked at the large photo hanging in the center of the wall. In the photo, Kujiu Yuankang is wearing a black suit. One hand is stretched out with thread hanging from the fingertips. The light shines on his face from the front door. Those thin threads that are usually invisible are clearly visible in the photo, like a puppet being controlled. The puppet master.
Kaito looked at the ring on his hand.
As a magician, he knew at a glance that the ring was a prop used in magic, and its purpose was to wrap around the thin threads that normally could not be seen to control the puppets.
"Use a ring."
Kamikawa Shun followed Kaito¡¯s gaze and looked at the wide ring worn by Yasu Kujiumoto in the photo.
He put his hands behind his back to imitate, "There are rings on both thumbs. It is really difficult to break free after tying the rings with thin wires. And it will not leave any traces on the body."
¡°Officer Tsukamoto, when you examined the corpse, was there any ring or thread on the corpse¡¯s hand?¡±
Tsukamoto Junji shook his head, "It should have been destroyed by the murderer before the police arrived."
Hearing the discussion between these two people, he also clarified his thoughts. Things that the police had not thought of for a long time were deduced by these two guys.
"You guys are so awesome!" It really made him feel ashamed.
"Because I am also a magician. What magicians are best at is doing tricks in places that don't attract attention." Kaito explained. "And it will be difficult to open the door with two thumbs tied up. Once you fall down, it will be difficult to stand up."
Kaito knocked on the wall, "This wall is also soundproof. Even if Mr. Ninety-nine shouts for help, others can't hear it."
"But there is a landline phone in the basement." Kamikawa Shun walked to the phone covered by scattered playing cards. He pushed aside the playing cards with his hands and took out the phone. The phone cord was still plugged into the phone intact. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
