The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 313: The murderer of the Hattori family

Jiang Xia turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a high hairline.

The man had a short nose, a mustache under his lips, and was dressed in home clothes. He looked like a neighbor who came from the same building to stop by.

Shitka Hattori looked at him secretly and nodded: "We really came to Mr. Shibata, are you his neighbor?"

"Yeah." The middle-aged man also had something to ask Chai Tian. He crossed Jiang Xia and the three to the door of Chai Tian's house. If you want to find him, hurry up."

Jiang Xia also hoped that he would act quickly, and quietly hinted: "Mr. Shibata doesn't seem to be at home. We rang the doorbell just now, but no one has opened the door."

The neighbor Yoshikawa Takezo shook his head: "I must have fallen asleep and didn't hear it, after all last night we..." Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something, cleared his throat, and swallowed the rest.

Amuro smelled a suspicious aura and gave him a careful look.

Jiang Xia is not very interested in Yoshikawa Bamboo. After all, this person has no ghosts on his legs, and there is no murderous intent on his body at present-he knows that the reason why Yoshikawa Takezo is dodging when he speaks is because Shiro Shibata and several other people often gamble at Yoshikawa's house. Yesterday, Shibata Shiro also played mahjong all night at his house, so Yoshikawa Takezo thought that Shibata might have fallen asleep because of drowsiness and did not hear the doorbell.

This group of fox friends and dogs are very familiar with each other. After Yoshikawa Takezo rang the doorbell, he found that no one answered, so he simply reached out and twisted the doorknob.

The door is only closed, not locked.

Yoshikawa Takezo immediately showed an expression of "as expected". As he pushed the door into the room, he looked at the three audience members next to him with a little show off: "Look, I'll say he's at home."

Yoshikawa Takezo stepped into the entrance, shouting Shibata's name and walking in.

Jiang Xia followed him naturally.

Amuro Turbine often broke into private houses, and also entered the door naturally.

Hattobe Shizuka hesitated for a moment, but there was no one around.

She looked at the wide open door and remembered that she had made an appointment with her to wait at home to give her the photo today, but Shiro Shibata, who did not answer the phone and did not answer the doorbell, thought for a moment and cautiously followed up with her. into the house.

The atmosphere of life in the house is quite strong. When passing by the living room, Jiang Xia saw that the TV in the living room was on, half-eaten meals were placed on the table, and there was a copy of today's evening paper.

Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze, intending to look at the room in front again, to collect clues, so as to facilitate "reasoning" later.

At this moment, the door at the entrance was suddenly pushed open.

A shrill, trembling shout came from the door: "What are you doing?! Why are you breaking into someone's house? I'm going to call the police!"

Amuro was startled, turned around, and saw a short-haired woman with a shopping bag standing at the door.

Judging by the woman's tone of voice and age, this looks a lot like Shibata Shiro's wife. Probably as soon as I got home, I suddenly saw a few more strangers and was frightened.

Amuro Toru wants to apologize for trespassing. But when he opened his mouth, he looked at Hattori Jinghua, who was dressed in a kimono and elegantly dressed beside him, and looked at Jiang Xia who seemed to be apologizing for being arrested for breaking into someone else's house, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

...It's not early morning or late night, and Mrs. Shibata doesn't live alone. In this case, after returning home and suddenly seeing a few well-dressed strangers in the room, wouldn't most people first guess that this is a guest brought back by the husband.

Why did Mrs. Shibata react so violently? Their home has been burglarized before, leaving a psychological shadow?

He was just about to ask politely about the situation, but at this moment, there was another exclamation from the corridor in the opposite direction.

——This time, it was the middle-aged man who opened the door and brought them in just now.

Yoshikawa Takezo's voice sounded very anxious: "Shita?! What's wrong with you? Cheer up, Shibata!!"

Sounds like something happened to Shibata Shiro.

Amuro Toru and Hattori Jinghua just turned to look at the source of the sound with vigilance and doubt, when suddenly a figure passed by—Jiang Xia reacted quickly and rushed over, as if he wanted to provide support there as soon as possible.

Hitbe Shizuka then quickly walked towards the direction of the scream, and nodded secretly at the same time: This child is very enthusiastic.

……

Half a minute later, everyone came to the study, including Mrs. Shibata, who was carrying a bunch of shopping bags and looked alert.

Looking in from the door, Shiro Shibata was on the ground, the hair on the top of his head sticking together, as if soaked in blood.

Jiang Xia half-squatted on the ground, poked Shibata Shiro, who had started to stiffen, and withdrew his hand slightly heavy: "It's hard to save."

This is a euphemism for someone who is dead.

Neighbor Takezo Yoshikawa stared blankly at the corpse, while Mrs. Shibata covered her mouth and began to sob sadly~IndoMTL.com~, alongside Shizuka Hattori, who looked solemn. Another standard three-choice.

……

The police arrived quickly, and the scene became chaotic when there were many people.

Jiang Xia walked to the body and found Shibata Shiro's right hand slightly stretched forward, holding a rolled up photo in his hand.

—Just look at the photo again, and the hand holding the photo with the corpse will almost start fast-forwarding the clues collected.

As a detective who usually cooperates happily with the police, Jiang Xia didn't go to the corpse's hand directly, but hovered by the corpse's hand for a while, waiting for the witty police officer to notice this, and then came over to be a hard-working wrench tool.

It didn't take long for the police to come, but it was a special policeman.

——Amuro walked over while no one was paying attention. He took a few pictures with a camera he didn't know who had taken him, then crouched down, took out the picture in the corpse's hand, and took a look.

The photo shows a teenage girl with a single ponytail and a sad face, stroking her medal in tears.

Her face is somewhat familiar. Combined with the group photo of the junior high school kendo club that Hattori Jinghua took out before, the identity of the person in the photo is very clear - she is Hattori Jinghua nearly thirty years ago, The classmate of the deceased Shibata Shiro.

Amuro took a deep look, then silently rolled up the photo as it was, and stuffed it back with the deceased.

Then he stood up and saw Jiang Xia who seemed equally surprised next to him, and whispered, "Don't let the identity of the suspect affect his judgment."

A murder case can happen to anyone at any time, anyone can be killed, and anyone can be a murderer, even senior officials' wives are no exception...

However, after recovering from the excitement of eating melons, Toru Amuro always felt that something was not right.

He was silent for a moment, then his eyes fell back to the corpse's hand holding the photo.
