Chapter 340 Have You Ever Been a Hokage?

"It's just a little trick to play with time."

Fujino thought for a while, "Mrs. Shibata did go out before five o'clock, but that doesn't mean Mr. Shibata died at eight o'clock."

"Mr. Shibata didn't die at eight o'clock?"

Yokomizo Sango was a little confused, "But the program on the TV tape at that time was clearly recorded at eight o'clock, and the newspaper at that time was also a morning paper that could only be obtained at six o'clock, "Could it be possible that Mr. Shibata could come back to life?"

Fujino nodded seriously: "Well, maybe it's possible."

"Ah? Really? !"

Yokomizo Sango was stunned, and the word "surprise" was almost written on his face.

If a normal person said this, he would only think that person was a fool.

What a joke, do you really think this is a ghost story?

But if the other party is the high school student Detective Fujino who came with Mr. Mori...

He has reason to suspect that the body may have really crawled up by itself!

"I was just joking, how could it be possible to come back to life? "

Fujino glanced at Yokomizo speechlessly.

He didn't expect this guy to really believe it.

The Japanese police are too easy to trust others...

Fujino collected his thoughts and explained: "What I mean is that Mr. Shibata didn't die at eight o'clock, but died before five o'clock when Mrs. Shibata went out."

"It is reasonable for a couple living under the same roof to know that her husband has eaten and read the newspaper, and watched TV on time at eight o'clock."

"I think the newspaper should be put on the table when she came back later, and the TV videotape was also recorded by her."

Fujino turned to look at Kyoko Shibata: "The purpose of doing this is to cover up, forge the illusion of his death at eight o'clock, create an alibi, and eliminate your own suspicion, right?"

"But, whether it was when the newspaper was delivered at six in the morning or when the TV recording started at eight o'clock, Mrs. Shibata was playing golf with her friends. ”

Yokomizo Sango frowned and looked at Shibata Kyoko suspiciously: "If it is true as you said, Detective Fujino, then her friends must have concealed the fact that she left halfway."

"That's not the case. Her friends should not have lied. Whether it was her coming back after seven o'clock or going to play golf before five in the morning, it was actually true."

Fujian shook his head, "It's just that seven ten is also seven o'clock, and seven thirty is also seven o'clock. I think Mrs. Shibata must have done these things after she came back, taking out the newspapers in the mailbox and putting them on the table, and the videotape was made before she went out, that is, before five o'clock, and the videotape was scheduled to start recording at eight o'clock. "

"I see..."

Mouri Kogoro echoed: "If that's the case, then Mrs. Shibata had come back before we came, so people would mistakenly think that Mr. Shibata actually died at eight in the morning."

"Well, that's it. "

Fujiano then said, "Actually, when we entered the house, Mrs. Shibata showed an abnormal expression, and I started to pay attention to it at that time."

"Abnormal expression?"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"Brother Maori, didn't you notice it?"

Fujiano looked at Maori Kogoro, a little confused, but after thinking about it, he understood the panic and apologetic look at the time, and then asked back: "When we came, Mrs. Shibata should have said what you are doing in my house, I want to call the police, right?"

"That's right..."

Mouri Kogoro pursed his chin and thought about it, but it was obvious that he couldn't figure it out.

"It was Mrs. Shibata's reaction, right!"

Xiaolan on the side recalled it, and like a well-behaved student, she came forward and said, "Did Mrs. Shibata know that we were in her house a long time ago?"

"That's right." "

Seeing that Xiaolan was still normal, Fujino nodded with relief: "Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities when you see a stranger behaving like this at home. She knows that her husband is not at home or that her husband is dead."

"But what really made me think of this was that when we arrived at the door of Shibata's house, I heard faint breathing sounds."

Fujino looked at Shibata Kyoko: "I didn't pay attention to those breathing sounds at the time. After all, there were quite a lot of people at the scene... But now I think about it, it should be Mrs. Shibata, hiding somewhere watching us? "

Conan listened to the reasoning silently and agreed with what Fujino said.

The idea was the same as his, but the starting point was a little different.

Because of the breathing sound or something, he began to suspect something...

Are you sure that Fujino is still a human, not a microphone or something?

"..."

Shibata Kyoko did not reply, but lowered her head and swallowed silently.

She did not expect that she would be exposed because of her excessive performance when she came in.

It should be said that she did not think much at the time...

"If you think about it this way, it is true. If Mrs. Shibata did this, she would have an alibi. "

Yokomizo understood a lot more, but still raised a little doubt in his heart: "But why is the photo of Ms. Ikenami tightly held in Mr. Shibata's hand?"

"It should be to frame Ms. Ikenami!"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro suddenly said, with an extremely serious tone: "If the deceased's hand is holding a photo of the person present, then he will definitely be suspicious of that person for the first time! Then he will eliminate himself!"

"So that's it!"

As a fan of Maori, Henggou immediately believed this statement, and then changed his mind on the spot. He began to murmur and think for a while: "No wonder Mr. Maori said that Miss Chibo was not a murderer. Could it be that you saw the same thing?" Do you know who the murderer is?"

"You must have not mentioned it just now because you were taking care of Fujino-kun, your junior, right?"

"As expected of Mr. Mori!"

"Ahem."

Mouri Kogoro scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "It's nothing."

"Um?"

Hattori Shizuka also glanced at Mouri Kogoro curiously.

Although she didn't quite believe what the policeman said, after all, from the moment she saw it, Mouri Kogoro seemed to her to be an unruly and confused uncle.

But after all, the other party is the sleeping Mouri Kogoro. If you think about it, is it really possible?

Moreover, the sentence just now vaguely revealed that he already knew the plan he had discussed with Shibata Shiro...

Are you really taking care of your descendants?

Hattori Shizuka also gradually changed and fell into deep thought.

"..."

Shibata Kyoko was silent for a while.

There's no such thing as putting on blame, she just found something to put on it.

That woman like Chi Bo was just a coincidence. She didn't expect that woman to come over...

"Although this is also the reason, I think the main reason is to cover up something, right?"

Fujino glanced at the people who were thinking silently, interrupted them and continued to transform.

"The same thing?"

Everyone who was interrupted looked at Fujino hesitantly.

"Wedding ring."

Fujino lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shibata's left hand is all covered with blood, but there is no blood in one place on his ring finger. The palm of his right hand holding the photo is stained with some. If my guess is correct, that hand should be holding it." It’s his wedding ring.”

"It's the same as Fujino-kun said!"

Henggou Sengo hurriedly stepped forward and took a look at Shibata's body: "The circular blood stain does look like a wedding ring."

"When Mrs. Shibata came home, she was surprised to find that her husband had crawled into the study before he died and planned to call the police. Although he died without touching the phone, it still left her with lingering fears."

Fujino raised his head and looked at Kyoko Shibata with slightly narrowed eyes. "Mrs. Shibata, who was afraid of being exposed, quickly checked the body again, only to find that Mr. Shibata's ring was missing. It was held in his left hand. Mrs. Shibata was afraid that her affairs would be exposed. He quickly took out the ring and planned to put it back on. "

"But at that time, Mr. Shibata's body was very stiff and his fingers could not be stretched at all, so she thought of hiding the ring, and in order to prevent anyone from noticing that his hand was open unnaturally, she also held the photo in his hand .........This also creates the illusion that Miss Chibo will be suspected as a suspect."

As he said that, Fujino cast his eyes on Shibata Kyoko's clasped hand: "From the first time I saw you, I never saw your hand loosen. If my guess is correct, that ring is now It’s in your hand, right?”

Shibata Kyoko was stunned for a moment after being seen through. She subconsciously opened her palms and a ring fell to the ground with an ethereal sound.

"The reason why you killed Mr. Shibata was because of his gambling, right?"

Fujino lowered his eyes and glanced at the blood-stained wedding ring.

"Yes, it's the same as you said."

Shibata Kyoko sighed, "It's because of that guy's gambling that I want to kill him... He also said that the next thing to sell is my golf ball, and even the heirloom sword that my father gave him. …”

As she said that, she looked at Yoshikawa fiercely: "The reason why it's like this now is because of this guy! I really can't continue to watch him go on like this, so..."

At this point, she did not continue, but instead looked at Fujino and asked, "Actually, you already guessed that the murderer was me from the time you exposed that guy's gambling...even after I entered the door, right?"

"I just guessed that the guy was gambling."

Fujino crossed his arms and did not explain directly.

"So that's it."

I don’t know whether she was prepared to be caught or because she was too panicked, but Shibata Kyoko didn’t make any excuses.

Hattori Shizuka glanced at Shibata Kyoko with a hint of pity, but she felt slightly sorry for her.

Gambling, losing everything from gambling, and finally couldn't stand killing people...

Although she didn't understand it, she could still imagine the other party's situation.

But in her opinion, killing is wrong no matter what.

"In that case, Mrs. Shibata and Mr. Yoshikawa, please cooperate with me and go back to the police station."

Seeing that the reasoning was finished, Henggou Sengo immediately stepped forward, glanced at Kyoko to the left, and then at Yoshikawa.

The case on this trip was indeed quite bizarre. Not only did they meet Kogoro Mouri and Fujino, but they also picked up a large-scale gambling case that was connected to the murder case.

Although it is indeed not good to steal the experience of people from other departments, but the credit is...

Who can have too much?

At this time, Kyoko Shibata, who was about to go with the police, suddenly remembered the gift from her father in the bedroom - a samurai sword.

After thinking for a while, Kyoko Shibata asked Yokomizo absentmindedly: "Um... Can I go change clothes?"

"No problem..."

For such a basic request, Yokomizo naturally agreed.

He didn't even think that the suspect would commit suicide.

Fujino silently glanced at Kyoko Shibata who entered the bedroom.

He couldn't understand Kyoko Shibata's case.

If her husband gambles, she can just divorce...

She won't have to give that old gambler gold coins.

But considering that one party refuses to divorce, this is quite normal.

After thinking about it, Fujino turned around and opened the door.

The crime of murder is actually not too outrageous in Japan. If you behave well, you will be a hero again after 18 years. What's more, a case like this will only take more than ten years at most.

At this time, Kyoko Shibata has picked up the samurai sword and pulled it out of the scabbard.

"Don't come over here!"

Shibata Kyoko put the samurai sword against her neck and shouted hysterically: "I had to kill him. Apart from this method, I have no way to stop him!"

"Hey, Mrs. Shibata!"

Yokomizo Sango also followed and saw that Shibata Kyoko wanted to commit suicide, and he was panicked.

If this really killed someone, he would be dismissed if he was held responsible.

Hattori Shizuka also followed and looked at Kyoko who was holding the knife against her neck with her eyes narrowed.

"Get out of the way..."

Hattori Shizuka pulled out a fan from her corset and walked forward cautiously.

Shibata Kyoko's mental state was obviously not normal. She pointed the samurai sword against her neck at Hattori Shizuka in front of her and was slightly stunned: "You...what are you going to do?!"

A black shadow suddenly rushed out from behind Hattori Shizuka, and then pulled out a wooden sword from the suit behind him, and hit the samurai sword held by Shibata Kyoko fiercely.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a metallic crisp sound, the samurai sword was pulled out by the huge force and stuck hard on the floor.

"Ah?"

Hatsuori Shizuka looked at Fujino holding the wooden sword in front of her and was slightly stunned.

She did not notice when Fujino rushed in front of her.

And...

Where did the wooden sword come from?

"I just want to commit suicide..."

Shibata Kyoko reacted at this time, kneeling on the ground, covering her arm that was hurt by the shock, and burst into tears.

"AHO!" (idiot)

Shizuka Hattori felt that since she was here, she shouldn't do nothing. She walked up and cursed, then knelt on the tatami, silently pulled out the samurai sword stuck in the ground, and put it back into the scabbard: "You idiot, after killing someone, do you still want to understand yourself and commit murder again? Every life is precious, there is no distinction between you and me, even your own life! I really don't know what you think."

"Ms. Ikenami, have you ever been a Hokage?"

Just as Shizuka Hattori stood up, Fujino came over and asked.

"Hey? What Hokage?"

Shizuka Hattori raised her head, obviously not understanding what Fujino was talking about, and surprised with an Osaka accent.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fujino shook his head silently, and silently hid the wooden sword in his suit behind him: "I also met a first love."

The word "idiot" just now inexplicably reminded him of Tsunade.

To be honest, Hattori Shizuka's voice is indeed very similar to Tsunade's, and he even wonders if she is Tsunade who traveled through time.

But as of now, she has never been a Hokage, so she should not be that Tsunade.
