313. Strange Traces Of White
313. Strange Traces Of White
After receiving the key, Mouri Kogoro knew that human life was at stake, so he opened the wine cellar door without any delay.
Wu Fan and others rushed in immediately and came to Rixia's side.
Shuzi asked: "Master, how is he?"
Mouri Kogoro said to Shuzi: "Madam, please go to the police first, Mr. Jioshita has been killed.
After hearing this, Shuzi couldn't catch her breath and fainted directly.
Mouri Kogoro saw something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Madam, wake up, madam!"
Wu Fan and Conan looked at Rixia's body and felt something was wrong.
The posture he fell here was a bit too strange and seemed very unnatural.
Soon, the police arrived at the crime scene~.
Chiba Kazunobu reported on the situation of the deceased: "The deceased is Mr. Shohei Kusaka, 52 years old this year. The owner of this house currently runs a financial company in Mihua City. The deceased was released after someone wrapped a rope around his neck and exerted pressure. Resulting in death from suffocation.
Officer Megure asked: "How did you find the body?"
Mouri Kogoro replied: "I saw that Mr. Kusaka went to the wine cellar and never came back, so I came over with Mrs. Kusaka to check on the situation and found that he was already lying there.
"Is the cellar door locked?"
"It's locked."
Takagi Wataru suddenly said: "Officer Megure, Mrs. Kusaka just said that the key Mr. Kusaka has contains the key to the wine cellar and this house. The wine cellar door uses an automatic lock. As for the person who has the key to the wine cellar, The only people are Mr. Kusaka and his wife, and other than that there is no backup key."
Officer Megure thought thoughtfully: "Automatic lock, forensics officer, are there any signs on that window?"
"There are no signs. There is no trace of the dust on the wine cabinet being touched, so I'm afraid there is no possibility of intrusion from now on. You have also seen that this window is opened from the inside. You have to open this window from the outside, but It's not that easy. In addition, please take a look at that place. There is an alarm device installed at the bottom of the window. If the window is pried open with brute force, the alarm system will trigger a loud ringing sound immediately."
Takagi Wataru added: "As for the switch of the alarm system, it is also here. As long as you press the remote control button of this key, the alarm system will turn on immediately. The window will open, and then as long as you close the window, the alarm system will turn on." It started automatically."
"I see. So it's impossible for the murderer to get in and out from that place."
Mouri Kogoro said: "So, the murderer is trapped here now? In other words, Mr. Kusaka once saw the murderer's face. From what I can see, the murderer probably asked Mr. Kusaka to open the door himself. He probably committed the murder here after entering the wine cellar."
Chiba Kazunobu said: "There will be so many broken wine bottles around Mr. Kusaka, which shows that the murderer and Mr. Kusaka had a fight."
"I'm afraid that's it."
Wu Fan did not agree with this statement: "If this is the case, it would be a bit strange. See for yourselves, why only the wine on the top shelf of this wine cabinet fell, but nothing happened to the wine in the cabinet here? What if They were fighting in such a narrow place, so I think there should be more broken wine bottles at the scene, but except for this wine cabinet, the other wine cabinets at the scene can be said to be intact. Isn't this logical?"
After hearing this, Officer Megure agreed with this statement: "Brother Wu Fan, you are right, it does make sense based on this analysis.
Mouri Kogoro disagreed: "Humph, I think this is just a coincidence."
Wu Fan's half-moon eyes looked like: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Just then, Wu Fan and Conan discovered white traces on the floor.
"This must be a mark left by heavy objects grinding." Wu Fan was very sure of this.
Mouri Kogoro suggested: "Officer Megure, in my opinion, it would be better to go to the back door to take a look first, if we find signs of intrusion by the gangsters at the back door."
Soon, everyone came to the back door.
“The lock on the back door showed no signs of being tampered with.
Officer Megure asked: "Could it be that a gangster secretly issued a backup key?"
Takagi Wataru rejected this statement: "I don't think this is possible."
"how do I say this?"
"Because all the keys to this house are a special kind of lock called an electronic lock. The biggest feature of the electronic lock is that it cannot be easily copied by a locksmith on the street. If you don't order it directly from the manufacturer, you can't. For backup."

Mouri Kogoro said: "So the culprit is definitely the person who is currently in the house."
Officer Megure nodded and asked, "Where are the deceased's family and guests?"
"They are all waiting in the living room."
"Okay, let's go ask them."
Just then, Mouri Kogoro spotted Conan climbing up on the pole next to him.
"Conan, what are you doing?"
Conan was speechless: "Well, I'm just... I'm just practicing the Iron Pillar."
Wu Fan complained in his heart: "Even a child can't be fooled by this kind of nonsense."
Just then, Chiba Kazunobu came over.
"According to the inspector's report, in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Kusaka, they collected two sets of clear fingerprints from the wine cellar door. One of them is Miss Sayuri Takano who attended the party tonight, and the other is the foreigner. It belongs to Mr. Yoshi, the head of the village.

Officer Megure said: "Okay, let's go to the living room quickly."
Mouri Kogoro said: “Officer Chiba, I’m leaving it to you Conan.
Chiba Kazunobu answered without tears: "Yes."
Conan asked: "Officer Chiba, let me ask you."
After listening to what Conan said, Chiba Kazunobu said: "I haven't heard that they have discovered such a thing. Brother Aliu, have you heard about it?"
Aliu replied: "No, the report didn't say that."
"It seems that this is the most powerful evidence. That thing must still be on the murderer's body." Wu Fan said.
At this time, Officer Megure and others came to the living room and questioned everyone.
"What did you say?" Waicun asked in surprise.
Takano was a little unbelievable: "You mean that murderer is one of us?"
Nonaka said seriously: "Officer, you have to speak clearly."
Officer Megure replied: "Judging from the situation at the corpse scene, we believe that the possibility of this murder being committed by the people in this house is very high, especially Mr. Tomura and Ms. Takano. We were in the wine cellar." Your fingerprints were detected on the door."
Tomura explained: "Fingerprints don't mean anything? I have indeed been to the wine cellar. I asked Mr. Kusaka to lend me another sum of money, but I did not enter the wine cellar."
