MTL - The Red Side is Always Blocking My Dog leash-Chapter 148
The case dragged on for nearly half an hour, and the investigation could finally be launched. Of course, all the detectives on the ship gathered at the scene. Mr. A was not very interested in solving the case. He was more concerned about what happened to the phantom thief Kidd who pretended to be him before. Because of the chaos in his room, there were even pigeon feathers on the floor.
Amuro said lightly: "The opportunity is rare, so I kept a few people and tried to catch him, but it seems that I failed."
Mr. A: …
I don't know what it's like to be surrounded by several men as soon as Kaito Kid enters the door.
Forensics, search, autopsy, and interrogation, although there is no monitoring, the rooms on board use electronic door locks based on RFID technology, and the operation records will be saved in the E2PROM of the door locks. While it's only certain when they're opening the door from the outside, it's better than nothing.
Both Keith and Sr. Andre had two records of opening the door during this period, with a time interval of 20 and 15 minutes respectively, and both had time to commit crimes.
Adams didn't go back to the room. Before Cecil came on stage in the middle of the banquet, he was accidentally sprinkled with a little wine. It was only on the cuff, and it didn't matter if he rolled it up.
But Keith said that he didn't like the smell of the wine, so he sprayed the perfume on him a few times, which was a return gift to Adams for her perfume. Adams, who couldn't stand the smell, went to the bathroom to deal with it and had to go back. A trip to the room. But he came back without changing clothes, and Keith also mocked him for being poor.
After leaving the ballroom, Adams is said to have gone to the seventh-floor deck to wind his hair. But no one has seen him, and there is no alibi.
The surveillance in this corridor was accidentally destroyed by Andre Jr. on the first day. Even if the surveillance on the whole ship did not go off, nothing could be photographed here. Keith and Andrew Sr knew this, and both testimonies were consistent. Very perfunctory, but also inexplicable.
Then the forensics department found a long chestnut hair in Cecil's room, and a broken diamond belonging to the dress Keith had just put on, and she had to change her mouth.
"I have a question and I want to ask Mr. Cecil, but he said that he has something to do, so he asked me to wait in his room for a while, and come back soon. I waited there for more than ten minutes, and then went back to the room."
Takagi, who was recording with the tape recorder, suddenly showed a cracked expression. He has a good relationship with several children. During this time, he has listened to a lot of love stories of the Cecil couple. As a result...
Ask questions at this time?
That hair was found on the bed - a physical problem?
After coming out of the lounge, Sato Mikazu gave him angrily, "Don't show such a rude expression in front of others!"
Takagi touched his head: "I'm just too surprised, it's clear that Professor Cecil and his wife are very loving... If you think about it carefully, it's not unusual to bring students here on this occasion, but... ah..."
He couldn't think of how to describe his complicated feelings for a while, so he could only sigh.
Sato Miwako joked: "Are you envious? When a man reaches middle age, his wife dies and he has money and power, and a man dreams of life."
"No, no, how could it be? Of course, I am wholehearted with you, Officer Sato. Although the work we do is very dangerous, I will do my best to protect you. You can rest assured, Officer Sato, you will definitely live a long life. age!"
Takagi waved his hands in a panic at first, but then gradually became serious, holding Mikazu Sato's hand with bright eyes, "If I die unfortunately, Officer Sato will find a more handsome boyfriend and forget about me."
"I'm joking!" Sato Mikazu glared at him, "Don't say anything like that, a idiot like you should live until all his teeth fall out, and before that, even if you go to hell, you have to crawl back for me, hear No!"
Takagi smirked and nodded: "We will live a long life together and become grandpa and grandma."
After laughing and talking back to the original topic, Sato Mikazu said, "It's been less than a month since Mrs. Cecil died, even if she was with Keith after her death, it was too soon, and she brought a new love with her. Participated in the memory of the deceased wife, and even bought her a French haute couture dress, that Cecil is really not human."
Takagi sighed: "When those children told me about the Cecil couple, they were very envious of their relationship. If they knew the truth, they would be sad."
Others reacted flatly to this, but Maori Kogoro was very excited, slapped the table and said, "What am I talking about! Let's see what those little girls have to say, it really is too young and too inexperienced to see a man polish it up. Just the eyes!"
Takagi also wanted to comfort Conan after listening to the recording, the latter smiled: "It doesn't matter Officer Takagi, I already knew it."
Takagi was stunned: "Huh?"
Conan: "I noticed it during the dinner party, because I was just listening to the story. It wasn't real at all, and there were a lot of conflicts."
Takagi was silent, and Sato Mikazu looked around: "Aren't Officer Matsuda and Mr. Amuro back yet?"
This is a synagogue temporarily requisitioned by the police. As a place to gather information and discuss and solve the case, as a woman, she and Takagi are in charge of Keith's side, while Date Hang and Shiratori go to old Andrew and Adams.
Originally, the initial inquiry was over, because there was a new discovery in Cecil's room.
So they went again. When they set off, Matsuda Jinhei said that he would go to the scene to see it again, and left with Toru Amuro.
Mu Mu Shisan shook his head and frowned, "I always have a bad feeling."
Conan rolled his eyes silently, thinking that you felt right.
He was brought in by Matsuda Jinping, otherwise even if he was an old acquaintance, the police officers present would have to send him back to the room, and with the help of the other party, it would save him further trouble.
Except for the initial search of the scene, he followed Matsuda Jinping almost the whole time. The conversation between Amuro and Matsuda Jinping was not avoided at all, and he naturally heard it.
The two usually don't seem to deal very well, but at this time they hit it off and don't play with him.
Matsuda Jinping and Amuro Toru arrived together with the autopsy results. The curly-haired police officer held a sealed bag in his hand, and his posture was casual. When asked about what other people found, he shook his head and said he would listen to the autopsy first.
Little Andre died about five hours ago. After his death, he was put into a resting position. At that time, the corpse was not serious. The broken left leg was a post-mortem injury. The legs happen at the same time.
Cecil had been dead less than two hours ago, and his body was still semi-soft, tied with ropes cut into strips of curtains.
Because the struggling action was deeply pierced into the flesh, the scene was terrible. There were traces of the second blow on the back of the opponent's head. There was only one pinhole on the neck like little Andrei, and it was obviously from the hands of a layman, and it was pierced many times. The carotid artery was punctured.
Both died of sudden cardiac death from an overdose.
The report brought little new progress.
At this time, another police officer knocked on the door, "Mr. Maori, this is a bloodstain identification in the corridor according to your request just now."
Mu Mu Shisan looked at the dazed Maori Kogoro: "You asked them to go to the corridor to do the bloodstain identification, do you already have any ideas?"
Mouri Kogoro touched the back of his head: "Ah? Did I ask for it?"
The police officer looked at Conan: "This kid said..."
Conan: "Uncle Mori must have discovered the breakthrough! As expected, he is a well-known detective, uncle police officer, did you have any important discoveries?"
The police officer had already handed the report to Mu Mu Shisan, and he heard the words: "We used the luminol reagent to investigate and found that there were several bloodstains in the corridor, the small ones had been wiped clean, and the shape could not be seen, but The traces are about two meters apart, and they are getting lighter and lighter. It is initially speculated that they should be rubbed on the soles of the shoes, and they were left during running."
Mouri Kogoro said excitedly: "This must have been the murderer's panic to escape and accidentally stepped on it, as long as you check which of them has blood on the soles of their feet, you can determine the murderer!"
The police officer said: "This... We have already checked, and only old Mr. Andre has blood on his feet. But it takes up half of the soles of his feet, and the ones in the corridor are only the size of a finger.
Those under his feet said that he accidentally stepped on it when he rushed into the room to stop our police from tampering with the scene. Because of this, the blood on the door became a little illegible. Everyone present saw it. "
"This old Andre must be the murderer." Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized, "Little Andre was induced to commit suicide. He asked for a spare room card on the first day. But his bracelet was not lost as he said. , that room card was for Cecil, and he deliberately destroyed the surveillance in order to let Cecil enter his room."
"Old Andre cut off little Andre's source of money not long ago. Cecil knew that he had no money to buy drugs during this time. So after letting him get on the boat, he sent things to his room without knowing it. At the same time, calculate the dose and let him die of an overdose, disguised as an accident."
"But old Andre discovered the truth. In order to avenge his son, he led Cecil to his son's room, knocked him unconscious, tied him to the bathroom, and killed him in the same way."
Maori Kogoro paused for a moment, then continued: "There were three opening records from the end of little Andre's room door dinner party to the discovery of the body. The first time was the cleaning card. Old Andre stole the cleaning card in advance, and then This is the spare room card that little Andre is going to go to on the first day, this is Cecil, after old Andre killed the man, he threw the card and the murder weapon into the sea to destroy the evidence."
"But he ran so fast that he didn't expect to get blood on his feet. So he wiped the hallway, had to open the door with the bracelet he had taken from his son, went in and wiped his footprints, and then the body was found When it is time to step on it on purpose, it makes the traces on the sole reasonable."
Mu Mu Shisan asked: "What's the motive? Why did Cecil kill little Andre?"
Amuro said, "It's for Mrs. Cecil's legacy."
"Little Andre and Mrs. Cecil are brothers and sisters. If there is a first-in-line heir. As the second-in-line heir, he should not participate in the distribution of the inheritance." Shiratori Ren Saburo said.
"That's right, but if there is a will, the will takes precedence. Mrs. Cecil's lawyer took out the will after she died. Because she suffered from congenital heart disease since she was a child, she died very early. later plans.
She is said to have amended her will several times, but the contents have not been released before. In her latest will, she left half of her estate to her brother and the other half to her husband. "Amuro explained, "Professor Cecil mentioned this will when he told his story with his wife. "
The other party also briefly mentioned the past of Mrs. Cecil and his brother. The two brothers and sisters had a very good relationship. Old Andrew had high hopes for his son. Mrs. Cecil was once the little princess who was favored by both father and son.
But things changed after little Andre was infected with drugs. The relationship between the two deteriorated, and little Andre became unrecognizable. In the end, Mrs. Cecil became the heir of old Andre instead of her brother.
Fortunately, little Andre finally realized the mistake, changed his past, and made up his mind to take the initiative to quit drugs, and the relationship with his sister returned to the past, but he did not expect that the good times would not last long, and Mrs. Cecil died so suddenly and suddenly.
Matsuda Jinpei sat at one end of the long table and sneered: "She also died suddenly. The drug addict who has been willing to fall for so many years suddenly became enlightened. After reconciliation with her sister, she died soon after, and half of her estate was divided in her will after her death. For brother, don't you think it's too coincidental?"
Mu Mu Shisan said: "Matsuda-kun, don't say anything if you don't have evidence."
There is never any suspicion of guilt, and the affairs of other countries are not under their control. Matsuda Jinping shrugged: "Got it."
Conan pulled the corner of his shirt, indicating that it was time to talk about their discovery, Matsuda Jinping said: "Why do you use Detective Maori as an excuse again, although he is a confused detective, it does not mean that you have been tricked every time. Don't you feel anything?"
It's okay to have no way before, and now he has a ready-made candidate.
Conan smiled embarrassingly: "Because I remembered it just now, I don't know when you will be back."
In fact, it can also be said that it is inertia.
Old Andre destroyed the bloodstain when he entered the door, but the person who went in first saw it in good condition. He sensed something was wrong from Anda's previous description. The bloodstain on the corridor was confirmed, plus the few he found before. A clue, the whole picture of the case has been pieced together, but...
Conan's eyes sank.
"Well, we actually didn't find anything here, and the other party didn't cooperate at all."
Matsuda Jinpei reluctantly accepted his explanation, and was about to talk about the situation on his new side when the door opened again.
"The police department, the FBI has arrived."
It's generally a major crime case that gets sent to the FBI. However, this time, after all, is of a special nature, it is considered transnational law enforcement, and the identities of the two deceased are not simple. So the priority rose again and again, and it was handed over to the FBI.
Amuro asked, "Which department did you come from?"
"Uh, Behavior Analysis Department." The police officer at the door replied.
Matsuda Jinping raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?"
Have you met before when you were an outlaw fanatic?
Amuro glanced back helplessly, and said, "When I was in the United States, an acquaintance was involved in a major case. He was the victim, so I had to deal with the FBI once."
Takagi said: "Mr. Amuro used to stay in the United States."
"After graduating from college, I went to many places, which were all young people's impulses. But the experience during that time also taught me a lot, which is very helpful to my current detective work." His resume does have such a paragraph .
Takagi did not doubt, he nodded: "Mr. Amuro also deals with the behavior analysis department?"
Amuro's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, I remember that their minister was named Jack. But that was four years ago, and now maybe someone has changed, even I may not remember me."
The truth often backfires, and Jack really doesn't remember him. But Will, who came with the other party, was quite impressed by him.
"Mr. Hepburn." Mr. Curly Hair looked much better than he was a few years ago, he called out the name Amuro had used before when Jack was negotiating on the thirteenth day, "I didn't expect to meet you here. ."
Toru Amuro explained to others in Japanese: "Boston Hepburn is my English name."
Then he shook hands with Will and smiled skillfully: "Mr. Graham, what a coincidence."
The FBI handles so many cases every year. It was very strange that the incident four years ago, even a person who was not even the victim, only met once, but the other party could accurately name him the first time.
Jack noticed their exchange and was a little surprised: "You know each other? I thought I knew all about your barren social circle, and I have to say it was a surprise, Will."
This is a normal reaction.
Jack had also been in contact with him four years ago, but apparently he had no impression of Amuro.
Amuro calmly restrained his thoughtful gaze, and explained, "You misunderstood, and I'm also surprised that Mr. Graham still remembers me. In fact, we've only met once."
Will: "In the case of the Eastern Killer four years ago, he was a family member of Arnold."
"I remember that young man was Lecter's patient..." It was a bit impressive to mention this Jack. He had a deep memory of Lecter, and by the way, he also remembered Arnold, the last victim of the other party, who was also a victim of another serial murder case. "About Arnold...I'm sorry."
He nodded to An Shitou and looked at Mu Mu Shisan: "Take us to the scene, I hope you didn't make things worse."
Mu Mu Shisan originally planned to directly provide the other party with the investigation results on his side, but now it's okay to listen to it.
Will and Amuro only said a few words, so they had to say goodbye. Before leaving, they said, "If you don't mind, can I have the honor to take a few minutes of your time later?"
Amuro nodded and smiled: "Of course."
What can FBI agents do to him?
The only thing involved between the two is Arnold, who is Mr. A.
There were highly educated elites present, and of course there was no pressure to understand English. Sato Mikako also had the same question as Amuro: "Mr. Amuro and the detective have only met once, and it was four years ago, but he can When I recall Mr. Amuro's name in an instant, could it be hyperamnesia?"
Matsuda Jinping suggested another possibility: "Maybe it's a deep impression. I fell in love at first sight and thought about it day and night, and I can't forget it for a few years, and occasionally I will look it up from my memory and reminisce."
Amuro Toru chuckled: "Officer Matsuda's thoughts are really slanted."
Shiratori Ren Saburo had always maintained a contemplative expression before, but now suddenly suddenly said: "I remembered, Will Graham, the genius criminal profiler, helped the FBI solve many difficult cases. I have a friend who is the FBI College students.
Although he didn't become a detective later, he admired Graham very much. The man turned from a consultant to a full-time detective three years ago. A female reporter became famous from an uninterested tabloid reporter by reporting on him. The famous Han The Nibal ogre case was solved by him, and he is a very powerful character. "
"However, it is said that he himself wanted to contribute to the cause of counter-espionage and counter-terrorism rather than to track down the perverted murderer. In the past three years, he assisted other departments in locking down a number of spies and prevented a terrorist attack, but he disappeared for a period of time, and his spirit seemed to reappear. A little problem."
Toru Amuro was thoughtful.
He felt that he should ask the client, Mr. A.
