Chapter 5: Unbelievable Motive for Murder

"Xiaosong, I know you can't accept the fact that your father killed someone, but you can't talk nonsense." Xiaochuan Yan clenched his fists and squatted in front of Xiaosong, and at the same time, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Because Xiaosong was right.

He didn't expect his nephew to be so smart, but he was just a child after all, and what a child said was not convincing.

At this time, Xiaosong also noticed Conan's little action, kept silent, and understood in his heart. He stepped back slightly and prepared to hand over the stage to Conan.

A drop of cold sweat left Conan's temples. For some reason, he felt as if he was seen through by Xiaosong.

Could it be that the kid already knew the method of killing and realized what he was going to do, so he kept silent at the critical moment? !

No!

Impossible!

Unless he knew that I was Kudo Shinichi, he would never know what I was going to do next.

It should be just a sudden whim. At this age, the mind is active, and it is normal to have some ideas.

Conan comforted himself and immediately aimed at Maori Kogoro.

"Ah? Again?" Maori Kogoro was used to it, and he leaned against the wall dizzily, and found a comfortable position.

Conan also took the opportunity to hide, and then began to reason.

"That kid is right, the deceased was killed in advance, and the strangle marks were just the murderer's attempt to cover up the real cause of death!"

"What?! Brother Maori, I would like to hear more!" Inspector Megure was in high spirits, and finally waited until this time.

It seems that the case is not far away from being solved, after all, the sleeping Maori Kogoro is not called for nothing.

Ogawa Yan was suddenly startled, his body trembled slightly, and he exclaimed in his heart.

Damn!

Conan didn't care about Ogawa Yan's psychological activities, and began to concentrate on reasoning.

Komatsu sat aside steadily, waiting for his father to be acquitted.

The case also needs to be explained from the appearance of the deceased. The appearance of the deceased did not have the obvious characteristics of a person who was strangled, nor did it show any signs of resistance.

This means that the murderer killed the deceased first, and then strangled the deceased's neck with a rope, leaving strangle marks on it.

As for how the murderer killed the deceased, it is interesting to talk about it.

"Use water." Conan said shockingly.

Komatsu nodded slightly. It seems that he also has the potential to be a detective. He can actually keep up with Kudo Shinichi's thinking.

Ogawa Yan was sweating profusely.

Inspector Megure was suddenly shocked, his face full of disbelief, and asked: "How is it possible? If you use water, there will definitely be a lot of water marks. Even if you clean it up, there will be water marks at the scene."

"Inspector Megure, do as I say now, take out the paper towels and fold them layer by layer." Conan began to direct Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure was very obedient and immediately acted according to Conan's words.

A stack of paper towels was quickly prepared by Inspector Megure.

"Very good, now wet these tissues with water. By the way, be careful, don't use too much force, and keep the integrity of the tissues." Conan reminded.

Inspector Megure followed Conan's instructions and moved carefully. After the tissues were wet, a towel-like thing was formed.

"So that's it!" Inspector Megure suddenly realized.

The current pile of tissues has a strong viscosity, and because of the water, it is completely airtight. If these wet tissues are placed on a person's face, it will definitely suffocate and die, and there will be no water marks at all.

When the deceased dies, the tissues can be taken away, so that no evidence will be left at the scene.

This method of killing makes the deceased die slowly, so after the deceased falls asleep, the body will not have any stress response at all, and naturally there will be no signs of resistance.

Thus, a peaceful death is presented.

"And the hair on the sideburns of the deceased is dry and stuck together, and so are the eyebrows. There is only one possibility that can cause this situation, that is, it was soaked in water, and the traces left after the water evaporated." Conan said the characteristics of death on the body.

In this way, it can completely correspond to this method of killing, and Ogawa Yan has become the first suspect.

"Hehe, according to this method, anyone can do it." Ogawa Yan hurriedly explained, and then said:

"Besides, now it is about evidence. If there is no evidence..."

"If you want evidence, of course I have it." Conan's glasses began to reflect.

Ogawa Yan's cold sweat could not stop flowing down, and his expression became a little more flustered.

"Mr. Ogawa, I would like to ask, why is your left pocket wet, why is only this pocket wet?" Conan gave a fatal blow.

Inspector Megure immediately stepped forward and said: "Mr. Ogawa, please let us check your pocket."

"No... no need." Ogawa Yan completely gave up struggling and took out the tissue in his pocket with a dead heart.

Without Conan's reminder, Inspector Megure put away the tissue. All that was left was to test it to find the remains of the deceased's hair.

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Komatsu immediately stepped back slightly and hid among the crowd.

Conan walked out from behind Mori and immediately looked for Komatsu, and happened to see Komatsu.

The boy was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had seen through the murderer's methods!

Komatsu smiled at Conan and shifted his gaze.

After the truth came out, Ogawa Jing was the one who could not accept the truth the most.

"Yan! Why did you do this?! Why... why did you frame me??"

He did not understand. The two grew up together and had a deep relationship. How could his brother do such a thing?

"Because of the family property, why can you inherit the hotel, why should I serve customers in the company?" Ogawa Yan said in a flat tone.

Xiaosong curled his lips when he heard it.

This is a lie. This guy is a manager in the company at a young age, and is highly valued by the boss. His income is not less than their hotel.

Moreover, before his father took over, this hotel was shabby and unknown, and only the house was worth a little money.

This guy must have other reasons, but he just didn't want to say it.

"Sister-in-law, goodbye." Ogawa Yan looked at Ogawa Yuki and said his last goodbye, with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, it's time to go." Inspector Megure urged.

Next, we have to record the confession and contact the family of the deceased, but we don't have time to delay here.

Ogawa Yan looked back every few steps, and every time he looked back, he looked at Ogawa Yuki.

Xiaosong looked at his mother, and then looked at Ogawa Yan.

A bold idea came to his mind.

No, no, no, how could it be possible, it was definitely not that situation.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

However, the last sentence of Ogawa Yan when he got on the police car directly confirmed Xiaosong's guess.

No wonder you have been single for so many years, no wonder you often come to help, no wonder you framed my dad.

Tama!

What the hell, you want to seduce my mom? !
