Chapter 386 Bizarre Suicide
However, during the police's previous visit and investigation, they did not obtain any information related to last night's guests.
A neighbor of Hamano Toshiya confirmed that Hamano Toshiya also went home alone yesterday, and he did not hear any strange movement next door.
Combined with the extremely neat and orderly environment in the house, the police initially concluded that Hamano Toshiya and the guest should be acquainted, and they did not have a fierce quarrel.
"After poisoning Hamano Toshiya, the man still had the time to clean the wine glass. His psychological quality is too terrifying." Mouri Kogoro said with emotion.
"Maybe it's because the wine glass is stained with his saliva. If he doesn't want to be discovered, he must clean up all the traces he left behind." Hattori Heiji said and frowned in thought, "But if that's the case, why didn't he put the wine away?" Can you take the bottle with you too?"
Conan agreed: "Yeah, if he took the bottle away, maybe Brother Asano wouldn't even notice the wine glass on the cup holder."
"Perhaps he has forgotten it." Mouri Kogoro said impatiently, "Don't think that everyone is so perverted. If he kills impulsively, he may not be able to think carefully at all."
"Killing on impulse?" A black line appeared on Hattori Heiji's forehead. "Does tetrodotoxin be prepared in advance for killing on impulse?"
"That's suicide. His friend didn't expect that yesterday would be the last time he saw Hamano Riya."
Conan was immediately speechless, and Hattori Heiji also curled his lips. These two famous detectives, who each "occupied" the East and the West, expressed their disapproval of Moori Kogoro.
Maybe it's because the eyes of the two of them, one big and one small, are so similar that even Officer Megure couldn't help but smile when he saw them: "Conan and you are almost carved from the same mold, Brother Hattori."
Just as Hattori Heiji was about to retort, Officer Megure's cell phone rang.
Officer Megure made an apologetic gesture, picked up the phone and said a few words. Then his expression became more and more strange, and finally he glanced at Mouri Kogoro in confusion.
Conan couldn't suppress his curiosity. As soon as Officer Memu hung up the phone, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Officer Megure said with emotion: "I didn't expect Brother Maori to be quite reliable sometimes when he is sober!"
"Of course! What does it mean to be awake?" Mouri Kogoro said, "But if you say that, does it mean that my reasoning is correct?"
Officer Megure nodded and said: "Now it seems that Hamano Toshiya is very likely to commit suicide, because only his fingerprints were detected on the mineral water bottle, wine glass and wine bottle."
"What??" Hattori Heiji's eyes widened in disbelief, "Forget everything else, is there only Hamano Riya's own fingerprint on the bottle?"
"Well, we speculate that Hamano Riya, as the host, would take the initiative to pour wine for the guests. This is not surprising." Officer Megure looked like he was relieved. "The wine glasses have been cleaned and there is nothing that can be used as evidence. There are clues, and judging from the fact that only Hamano Toshiya's fingerprints were left on it, he should have washed the cup alone after seeing off the guests. And the tetrodotoxin that killed him should have been added to the mineral water, because in addition to the mineral water There were no toxins in the wine bottles, except for the water stains on the water bottles and the kitchen floor.”
Mouri Kogoro, who is talented in suicide inference, immediately followed up what Officer Megure said: "Perhaps Hamano Toshiya was ready to say goodbye yesterday when he invited friends to meet at his home. After washing the cup, he drank it and he had already prepared it. Good mineral water with poison in it, chooses death."
"This is too suspicious!" Hattori Heiji questioned, "How could there be only his fingerprints on the mineral water bottle? Even if Hamano Ri really committed suicide, there should be fingerprints of someone like a convenience store clerk on the bottle. Bar?"
Mouri Kogoro glanced at him: "Maybe Hamanori also thought the mineral water bottle was a bit dirty, so he wiped it clean when he bought it back."
"How can this be……"
Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he was cut off by Officer Megure. He also said to Hattori Heiji earnestly: "In the detective industry, sometimes you still have to admire the older people! Although Brother Maori sometimes... cough cough , but he got it right today.
"The fingerprints on the mineral water bottle must have been wiped clean by Hamano Toshiya himself, because there is more than just this bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator, and there are no fingerprints on other bottles. Hamano Toshiya may also have the habit of wiping off everything he buys. Bar."
"But..." Hattori Heiji frowned deeply, "Even so, it's still strange that the guests who attended Hamano Riya's party didn't leave any traces at all..."
"Memu Police Department, can't the guest's fingerprints be detected in other places in the apartment? What about the hair?" Conan asked.
Officer Megure answered truthfully: "The table where they drank was frosted and there were no fingerprints left. There were only Hamano Toshiya's fingerprints on the door handles. As for the hair... we found some in the bathroom and bedroom and have sent them to them." I did a DNA test. But judging from the thickness and color, I’m afraid those hairs are also Hamano Toshiya’s.”
Conan also frowned deeply at this time.
What a coincidence!
A living person stayed at a friend's house for so long, and the two of them drank half a bottle of wine, but he didn't leave any traces. This is too coincidental to be believed.
It's such a coincidence that...he deliberately cleaned up his traces.
But every coincidence can get a seemingly reasonable explanation, as if the truth of the matter is as simple as it seems.
Is it really that simple?
Conan didn't quite believe it. His instinct as a detective told him that the water behind this matter was probably very deep, but what was embarrassing was that he could not find the key incision to break the situation.
Conan noticed Asano Nobushige who had been silent for some time. Mr. Asano's expression told him that he did not agree with Hamano Toshiya's statement that he committed suicide.
There was some light in Conan's eyes. He approached Nobuhiro and asked, "Mr. Asano, did you find anything?"
Xinfan did not lower his head when he heard the sound. His eyes still fell out of the window: "No, the murderer is an extremely smart man."
! ! !
"Do you already know who the murderer is??" Conan asked eagerly.
However, Xinfan shook his head and said: "I don't know."
"and you……"
"I'm just sure this is a homicide, not a suicide." Nobuhiro stared out the window seriously, as if there was something he was following.
Conan followed Asano Nobushige's eyes and looked over——
I don’t know when the moon took over the role of the sun, hanging bright but cold in the dark night sky.
Only then did he realize that Mr. Asano's eyes were scattered and unfocused. He seemed to be staring at a certain place carefully, but in fact he was looking at the entire night.
