Famous Detective Conan: Eating and Waiting To Die - Chapter 98

The stimulated Sonoko was about to fight back when all the lights turned on again, and then a woman screamed in fear. . . . . . . .

“The voice came from the door!” Conan jumped off his chair after determining his direction and rushed over. “Wait, Conan…” Xiao Lan shook her head, “This kid, really… let’s go and have a look…” When everyone came to the door, they saw a person leaning against the crawler elevator. The abdomen continued to ooze blood. . . . . .

Judy straightened her glasses, “Mori-san, Suzuki-san, call the police and call an ambulance!”

“Hi!” Saying that, Xiaolan and Yuanzi ran to Fang Jiang, who was at the phone booth, and Mao Litong, who was standing beside Judy, yawned, “I’m really speechless. Is there really any curse in this world? ?”

Judy looked at the indifferent Mao Litong, and curiously put her head in front of Mao Litong, “Huh? WHITEBOY! You don’t seem to be afraid at all…”

Mao Litong rolled her eyes at Judy, “I’m more afraid of the living than the dead… and ah. Teacher Judy…” Mao Litong glanced at Judy’s chest, “You’re gone… “

“OH~NO,” Judy shook her chest with a smile, “It’s not going out, it’s sexy!”

“Hey~” Mao Litong glanced at his head and spat secretly, “Americans are really open…cough~” Mao Litong shook his head, “Now is not the time to think about this, what is Belmode doing here? I guess It’s to investigate Judy…”

After a while, Officer Mu Mu rushed to the scene with Takagi, “Huh? Xiao Lan! It’s you again…” Mu Mu shook his head helplessly, “It seems that basically all of my murders this year are Xiao Lan. Bundle…”

“Uh…” Xiaolan also smiled awkwardly, “We were drinking coffee in the cafe over there just now, when the power went out suddenly, and when the lights turned on, we heard a woman’s screams. I ran over and saw that this man was there… that’s why I called the police…”

“Oh,” Megumi nodded, “power outage… Takagi, have you found out the cause of the outage?”

“Yes, Officer Mumu, it seems that the power outage was caused by an error when the building’s management company checked the wires, but it was repaired after about 15 seconds and the power supply was restored…”

“That’s it… Then the prisoner took advantage of the occasional power failure to stab the deceased and run away? Has the cause of death and identity of the deceased been found out?”

“Hi!” Takagi picked up the notebook again, “It was identified that the fatal injury was a kitchen knife inserted into the abdomen at once! The deceased’s name was Nakajo Morinori, 43 years old, and his occupation was the president of the detective agency!”

“It’s the detective, but…” Mu Mu came to the deceased, “I’m more concerned about this strange death message left by the detective before he died… What do these three symbols mean? A circle, a cross, a triangle… Since he’s a detective, he won’t leave any unclear information!”

Speaking of which, Mumu picked up the portfolio and carefully looked at the symbols on it, “These symbols are all very common symbols. What information will the three of them convey when combined?”

“Do you want to pass the name of the murderer?” Takagi guessed. “Well…it’s also possible,” Mu Mu nodded. “Maybe it was the detective who found out some information about the murderer that caused the murderer to kill him…”

“Hey, speaking of which, I really want to see these symbols somewhere…”

“Huh?” Mu Mu hurriedly stood up and looked at the source of the voice, and saw a foreign girl with blond hair, “Ah…you. I remember you seem to be that…”

“Hi!” Judy put her hand on her chest. “That’s right, it’s me, JODIESAINTEMILION. It’s nice to see you again, Mr. Police!”

“Haha…” Mu Mu laughed dryly, “This foreign woman is really…”

“Cough~cough,” Mu Mu coughed a few times, “That Zhu…Miss Judy, just now you said where you saw these symbols, can you remember where you saw them?”

“Well.. let me think about it.. yes, there are those symbols on the handle of the Japanese game console! Can you help me?”

“Haha.” Mu Mu grinned and shook his head helplessly. . . . “Officer Mumu!” An inspector ran up to him, “This call belongs to the victim. I checked the phone just now and found that I had received a call 30 minutes ago…”

“30 minutes ago? Isn’t that the time of the crime?” Thinking of this, Conan said to Mumu, “Hey… Officer Mumu, since it was 30 minutes ago, maybe this call might have something to do with the dead man. Sure, why don’t you give that phone a try…”

“Ah… yes, maybe I can get some information from the last person who contacted the deceased… Takagi, give it a try!”

“Yes! Officer Meguro.” Takagi, who received the order, pressed the back button, Jingle! Jingle Bell! To the shock of the people present, they actually heard the sound of the phone ringing at the scene! Mu Mu glanced around, and saw a somewhat wretched man hurriedly took out his phone and hung up. The man was just relieved, thinking that no one had noticed, but when he looked up, he found that Mu Mu and Takagi were already there. walked up to him. . .

Mu Mu stared at the man suspiciously, “Did you call Mr. Nakajo just now?”

“That… I…” The man was just about to say something, when Mu Mu heard Sonoko roaring behind him, “Ah! That man! Wasn’t he just saying something strange beside us just now? The man who said it? No problem! I’ll triple it! I’ll quadruple it!! Hurry up and give me evidence or something… hum!

“Idiot, it’s not necessarily a bad person who has made a phone call… Besides, how can anyone stay at the scene after killing someone, and the place was not blocked before the police came, why didn’t he leave… Sure enough. A woman whose IQ has grown up there.” As she said, Hitomi Maori glanced at Sonoko’s chest, “But it seems that the IQ won’t be that high…”

“What? You little bastard,” Sonoko looked down, pointed at himself, and roared angrily, “Am I very young here?”

“Uh…” At first, there was a lot of discussion about who the murderer was, why did he kill someone, and the onlookers fell silent in an instant. Now even the sound of a needle falling from the ground should be able to be heard. Come on. . . . . .

Xiaolan blushed and grabbed Sonoko, who was running wild, “Hello… Sonoko, don’t make trouble. There are still a lot of people here…”

“Uh…” After Xiaolan said this, Sonoko, who had sobered up, looked around, and saw that the onlookers were covering their mouths and laughing secretly, and slammed into Xiaolan’s arms, “It’s over, it’s over. . . . my wise… woo woo woo…”

Taking this opportunity, Mao Litong glanced at the onlookers without a trace, and then shook his head slightly, “No, there are too many people, although I can feel that Belmod is coming, but I can’t be sure who it is. . . . This guy Belmod is not really fighting, not killing, he is really a troublesome person. Who knows if the evidence she left behind will be taken over by the organization after Belmod is killed. …” Thinking of this, Mao Litong sighed, “This kind of person who can’t be killed is really troublesome…”

Mu Mu coughed a few times and shook his head, “These live treasures…” Then he stared at the man in front of him, “What do you want to say?” Looking at Mu Mu’s eyes, the man swallowed. Saliva, “I…I said…I said all…”

“Very good! Takagi, take him to the cafe over there, and send someone to protect the scene, continue to check to see if there are other clues.”

“Hi! Officer Mumu!”

Sitting in the coffee shop, Mumu sifted through his notes again. The police have a habit of repeatedly confirming the intersection of suspects several times, because in tense situations, lies are the easiest to forget. , “You hired a detective to investigate the internal situation of the company, why?” Following the notes just now, Mu Mu asked the question again. “That… Last month, it was discovered that someone had embezzled the company’s public funds. Before notifying the president, I ordered the culprit to be found out.”

“Well…” Mu Mu nodded, “Then where is your company?” Obviously the man was a little puzzled by Mu Mu’s repeated asking the same question, but now he was a little frightened and chose to continue answering, “The address The address is the 8th to 11th floors of this building, which are all our company’s sites.”

“It turns out that, that is to say, you received a call from the deceased. He told you that he found the prisoner. In order to avoid meeting him in the company, you met him in this cafe, right?”

“Hey! I waited for a while and found that he still didn’t come, so I called him a little anxiously, and what I said after that was what those people said, and the man pointed his finger and stood beside him. Xiaolan and the others.”

“Then that Nakajo should come to see you with some information, Takagi, the bag that was checked just now was empty.” Mumu turned his head and asked.

“Yes,” Takagi nodded, “that bag has been opened, so I guess the murderer should be the embezzler.”

“It’s very likely that after the murderer found out that his corruption was exposed, he violently killed the detective, then took away the evidence, and fled to the company upstairs or directly escaped the building,” said this, Mu Mu turned his head to look Looking at the man, “Aren’t you getting any clues about that embezzler?”

“No,” the man shook his head. “A week ago, I received an intermediate report from that Zhongjo and gave me a list of suspects.” The man took out the list from his briefcase and handed it to me. To the twilight.

“Hey Xiaotong, do you have any ideas?” Conan came to Mao Litong after listening to the man’s words, “Thinking? First of all, whether this man tells a lie or not, he can’t be a murderer. He left there in 15 seconds and was in Run back, don’t say that there is not enough time, it is that he really has that ability, I can’t not find out, and then although he was very nervous just now, but what he said was basically the truth, so the murderer must be on that list. …”

“Cut~ This is up to you.” Conan glanced at the list, “At least there are more than 50 people… Let’s find out how it is possible… Now the clues are only those three patterns, circle, cross, Triangle…but I’m starting to get interested in this case…”

“Hey… that detective is really sick,” Mao Litong shook his head helplessly. “If you’re going to die, you have to play some guessing games, don’t you think he can just write down the murderer’s name? There’s always enough time to write a surname. Well, I have time to draw three pictures, but I don’t write down the murderer’s last name or name… I’m really idiot… You should slowly decipher the symbols… I’m too lazy to care about you…”

“Hmph…” Conan curled his lips, “But… what Xiao Tong said is very reasonable… I have time to draw three symbols on the portfolio, at least it should be no problem to write down the surname… Are you afraid? Was it discovered by the murderer? No. In the dark environment at that time, the panicked murderer should not have discovered it, and the murderer had already run away after the light was on…”

Looking at the list in his hand, Mumu scratched his head, “Takagi, send someone to take this list to confirm one by one, exclude those who have a definite alibi, and check whether those symbols are in the end. It was written by the deceased! Let’s go back to the crime scene first.”

“Yes! Officer Mumu!”

“Officer Megumi!” Takagi ran over, panting, “I’ve found it, the three symbols written in blood contain the fingerprints of the murdered Mr. Nakajo, and the blood is also Mr. Nakajo’s blood, just written Not long ago, it should be the death message written by the deceased before he died. Also, according to witnesses, Mr. Nakajo was stabbed before the power outage, and the power outage was only after the murderer in the coat stabbed Mr. Nakajo Yes, the place where he was stabbed was the place where the blood pooled in front of the crawler elevator.”

“Then the power went out while the prisoner was snatching the envelope. After the lights in the hall turned on again, the deceased was seen leaning against the elevator, motionless, probably already dead, and the prisoner took out the information from the file bag~www. mtlnovel.com~ ran upstairs.”

“Then that means that the prisoner did not find that Mr. Nakajo left the three symbols, otherwise he would not just take the information inside, but take it together with the portfolio.”

“It should be like this, Officer Mumu, I guess it was the symbols that the deceased wrote when the power went out. The prisoner who took the information ran upstairs, and then the body was sent to the second floor where the body was found. place, lean there…”

“Did you ask the witness why he didn’t call when he first discovered the murder?” Mumu asked suspiciously. “This… I asked too,” Takagi wiped the sweat from his forehead, “He thought it was shooting a movie…” “Uh…” Megumi also sighed, “Anyway, now It has basically been determined that the murderer is in the list of 58 people, so as long as the mystery of the three symbols is solved, the murderer can be caught! However, what does the deceased leave behind these three symbols mean? ?”

“Hey… Officer Mumu.”

“Oh? What’s the matter, Xiao Tong?”

“I suggest that you still look at the symbols on the portfolio, rather than the symbols on your hand. Sometimes, some subtle clues may be found only on the portfolio.”

“Well… that makes sense, Xiao Lin. Now that the identification is done, please bring back that portfolio!”

“Yes, Officer Mumu!”

“Hey, do you think that X is the cute X that Mr. Judy said?” Xiaolan said with a puzzled face.

“Uh… puff…” Judy and Sonoko both burst into laughter, laughing and saying, “That’s absolutely impossible… Hahaha…” Only Xiaolan is left alone He looked at them blankly. . .
