Chapter 968 Officer Yamato Is Still Too Naive

"Because the name has a word with the same pronunciation as the color, why don't we just call each other by the color?" Mouri Kogoro shook his head helplessly as he walked upstairs, "What a strange idea."

"After all, they are six people living together. Maybe it is easier to remember their names this way." Yui Uehara guessed.

"Never mind that, now we should go take a look at the room where the body was found, right?"

"Of course." Yamato Gansuke put away the cooking schedule and took the lead in walking in a certain direction in the corridor.

Nobuhiro and the others immediately stepped up to follow.

But just at the corner of the corridor that was necessary to get to the crime scene, there were several large boxes piled up, blocking the road. With Yamato Kansuke's size, he had to turn very carefully sideways to pass.

Mouri Kogoro was confused: "What is this?"

"Books." Yamato Gansuke replied, "The box is full of books. When we found the body, these books were blocking the door of the room that opened outward, preventing the people inside from leaving."

Mouri Kogoro gasped: "Is that room the place where the body was found?"

"Yes. The victim was locked in this room and starved to death."

Yamato Gansuke used a handkerchief as a cushion and turned the door handle.

Taking advantage of his petite stature, Conan followed Yamato Kansuke early in the morning. He was the first person besides Yamato Kansuke to see the crime scene. Even though he had seen many extremely vicious criminals and many horrifying crime scenes, he was still shocked by the scene inside.

There is no other reason. This chibi is really a good chibi!

The horizontal walls of the room can no longer be seen as they were originally, and are covered with a large area of ​​red. The edges of these reds are not smooth, rough, and have a natural beauty.

Seeing this "red cliff", Mouri Kogoro opened his mouth slightly: "So much blood?!"

"It's not blood." Nobushige explained, "If it were blood, it would have turned black after such a long time. And..."

Conan pointed to the fallen bottle aside and said, "It's spray paint. Chibi is spray painted. In addition, the two chairs nailed to the floor seem to have been temporarily spray painted in this color."

After listening to Conan's words, Mouri Kogoro noticed that there were two chairs placed back to back in the center of the room, one black and one white, which looked a bit strange.

"This is this?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Yamato Gansuke with doubtful eyes.

"As Conan said, these two chairs were indeed nailed in place, and the paint on them was sprayed on later."

Mouri Kogoro took a step back and looked at Chibi and the black and white chair. After a moment, he suddenly realized: "Why does this look so like the message left by the murderer? This is a typical provocative mentality of his."

Yamato Gansuke frowned: "This was not left by the murderer. We also found a bug when we found the body."

After saying that, Yamato Gansuke's eyes drifted towards Nobuhiro.

Nobuhiro was afraid that a dishonest police officer was talking nonsense, so he hurriedly answered before he spoke: "That bug is probably used by the murderer to monitor the victim. He can judge whether the victim is dead by the sound. In this case, if the murderer is there, The victim returned to the scene after his death, so he should have recovered the bug. After all, the bug may have left information about him. But since it didn't, it means..."

Mouri Kogoro understood: "It means that the murderer has never come back at all. The red cliff and the black and white chair are the death messages left by the victim himself."

Nobuhiro nodded: "That's it."

"After figuring out that this is the death message left by the victim, the next thing to do is to solve the puzzle and find the murderer." Mouri Kogoro murmured to himself, "Chibi, Red, the six of them The names are all related to colors...I know! The murderer is Akashi Shusaku, who represents red!"

"What a pity." Yamato Gansuke poured cold water on his uncle with an indifferent expression, "The person who died in this room was Akashi Shusaku. And Ms. Kohashi Aoi, who changed her name to Akashi Aoi after getting married, also died in this building three years ago. In the warehouse of the house.”

"Her heart was not very good to begin with. When she died, Shusaku Akashi was creating illustrations in this room." Yui Uehara said, "Because he was so attentive, it was already half a day later when he found his wife lying on the ground. "

A heart attack is a race against time for death. If Akashi Shusaku could have discovered earlier that his wife fell ill and fell to the ground, maybe Kobashi Aoi would not have died. Just like him, if someone else discovered what was going on here before he starved to death, he could be saved. Or, if Aoi Kobashi had not died three years ago, at least the murderer would not have used such a method to starve Akashi Shusaku to death.

Is there some connection between the couple's deaths?

Nobuhiro fell into deep thought.

The person who made a contemplative move almost at the same time as him was Mouri Kogoro: "Since Akashi and his wife have passed away, maybe the name of Chibi's Chi is not the name at all...ah, I understand!"

Mouri Kogoro's eyes suddenly lit up. After hearing his words, Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui both looked over.

Although what Yamato Gansuke really wants to rely on is Conan's power, Mouri Kogoro is also a famous detective after all, and may really be able to come up with insightful clues.

However, Mouri Kogoro was excited for a long time, but only said: "I know, the murderer was an outsider, such as a rival illustrator who resented Akashi Shusaku, or a thief who simply killed the owner after the theft... "

There was a burst of green smoke above Yamato Kansuke's head. Although he had limited legs and feet, he was very powerful. He grabbed Mouri Kogoro's front and began to scold him: "What on earth is going on with you, you confused detective? I went to Tokyo specially to pick you up." You didn’t come here just to listen to these nonsense reasonings!”

Seeing this, Xinfan helplessly raised his forehead.

Officer Yamato is still too naive. Officer Megure, who often works with Kogoro Mori, has long been accustomed to this.

"If you want to see a wise man but don't follow his path, you want him to come in but keep the door closed." A steady and powerful male voice suddenly sounded behind them.

As soon as he heard this familiar voice, a tight string in Xinfan's brain snapped.

He felt that everything around him suddenly blurred, as if falling into an endless abyss. Only the person somewhere behind became clearer and more distant.

"Huyi, the road, is the door of etiquette." The voice continued, not stopping because of Xinfan's confused mood, "Only a gentleman can follow the road and enter and exit through the door."

With the sound of heels clicking on the wooden floor, a man stood still in the room.
