165. Mouri Kogoro’S Stable Performance
Everyone put Tsuchiya's body on the ground, and Arita felt Tsuchiya's pulse.
Arita said with a sad face: "There is no way to save her, she is already dead."
Upon hearing that Tsuchiya was dead, Kikuemon looked sad.
Seto said to Kikuemon: "Master, I'm going to the police station to call the police.
After saying that, Seto left the warehouse.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive.
Officer Megure asked: "The name of the deceased is Masuko Tsuchiya. She is forty-two years old. She is the owner of this household and the daughter-in-law of Mr. Kikuemon. Before you discovered her body, you were all in the warehouse. There was a noise in the room next to it, it was the sound of being broken, right?"
Arita replied: "Yes, because last night, we drank until very late before falling asleep. Tsuchiya Tai fell asleep first, so I took her back to the room first."
Otani said in horror: "When I went to call her this morning, I found that her bed was empty."
Seto added: "Just when we were about to go find her, we heard the sound of something breaking, so we ran to the warehouse, and...
Officer Megure speculated: "The sound you heard was made by a clay kettle falling to the ground. Maybe the deceased used it as a foot rest and it broke when he kicked it down? Why did he step on it? Is it like this?"
Arita said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Police, that was broken by a few of us."
Otani said: "We want to put her down immediately, thinking that maybe she can be saved, that's what the child said.
After seeing Conan, Officer Megure picked him up and asked, "Conan...what are you doing here?"
Then, Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro: "By the way, let's not say that we met here by such a coincidence, but when the incident happened, the only person who was still sleeping soundly was you, brother Mouri."
Wu Fan looked sideways at Mouri Kogoro: "Haha..."
Mouri Kogoro covered his ears and said: "Can you please stop being so loud? I drank too much last night and it's still hurting now."
Officer Megure reprimanded loudly: "You are kidding me! No matter where you go, there will always be dead people. Do you understand?"
Wu Fan thought to himself: "What a rant! But the most fundamental problem actually lies with Conan. Wherever Conan appears, there must be a case. After all, he is known as the Tokyo Death God. When the Tokyo Death God goes out to fight, not even a blade of grass grows, and his uncle is just taking the blame." "
At this time, the police officer above said: "Team leader, there are no signs of anyone climbing up on the roof beams."
Officer Megure said: "Really? There is no way to reach the beams on the ceiling with this ladder alone. I think there must be something heavy tied to one end of the rope and thrown over, so that the rope can be wrapped around the beams." of."
"There happen to be a lot of things here that can be tied to ropes."
Wu Fan picked up a jar and said, "But would they use such a precious work to do such a thing?"
Arita said: “The pottery on the shelf is not just Master’s work, there are also works made by several of us.
"If it was used by Mrs. Tsuchiya, I think she would definitely choose the one made by us." Seto said.
Officer Megure said: "Well, this warehouse is really clean inside."
Ohtani explained: "That's because we have done a lot of cleaning before."
Officer Megure thought thoughtfully: "In that case, the remaining problem is that the wound on Mrs. Tsuchiya's calf was clearly cut. The blood from this wound seems to be spraying everywhere."
Mouri Kogoro expressed his opinion: "I think it must be because after hanging, she fell to the ground again. At this time, her calf was cut by the broken kettle fragments, and then she fell to the ground again. Once again, this kind of thing often happens, either the rope loop is too big, and it falls off after being put on the neck, or the knot is not tied well and loosened."
"As for why the blood was splattered everywhere, I think it was probably her struggle before death."
Ran Mouri asked: "But the sound of the kettle breaking, I remember hearing it only once, right, Wu Fan."
Wu Fan nodded and said, "That's right."
Mouri Kogoro said disapprovingly: "When you failed for the first time, you must have been sleeping soundly, because if the rope was loosened, it would take 030 seconds to start over..."
Wu Fan complained in his heart: "You are obviously the one who is fast asleep, right? You were the last one to get up, and you came later than the police. How dare you say that? And even if you sleep deeply, no one will hear the loud noise." Bar?"
Otani was a little confused: "But why does Mrs. Tsuchiya want to commit suicide?"
Seto said with a sad face: "I can't see that she is a suicidal person at all."
Officer Megure looked at everyone and said, "Have you thought of something?"
Arita explained: "Because last night, she happily drank with us."
Kikuemon suddenly said: "I think it's because of the Feng Shui Number. In my opinion, maybe he did such a stupid thing because he broke the Feng Shui Number and felt guilty. It's really pitiful. .”
Officer Megure asked: "Feng Shui number?"
Seto kicked Kikuemon and explained: "It was a recently completed kettle that Master was going to show at this press conference, but just yesterday during the day, Mrs. Tsuchiya was taking it out from the warehouse. , broke it accidentally, if Mrs. Tsuchiya felt sorry for that incident [it is indeed possible that she chose to commit suicide out of shame."
Officer Megure nodded and said: 0.7 "So, it is indeed possible that she committed suicide."
Judging from the motive scene and the current situation, there are indeed all the evidence to judge that this is a suicide case.
Officer Megure said: "Forensic officer, could you please help me compare the wounds of the deceased and the shape of these kettle fragments?"
The forensic examiner replied: "Okay, but because the shapes of these fragments have changed after being stepped on, there is no way to judge whether they match the wounds of the deceased, sir.
Officer Megure said: "If it matches, there should be no problem."
Mouri Kogoro smiled and waved his hand: "This is a suicide case. It must be suicide."
Wu Fan said: "Didn't you notice that Mrs. Tsuchiya didn't wear shoes?".
