Chapter 156 Murder in the secret room
"Well, how about we discuss the case?" Conan covered his face. He felt that if he let the two people in front of him show off their affection, he would not be able to calm down and think.
"Before you arrive at the scene, any speculation may lead to misjudgment. Don't be preconceived." Bai Zhi looked at Conan through the rearview mirror: "Little detective, do you want to be my apprentice?"
Conan: "-_-||...What are you talking about?"
"I'm very powerful. I'm the strongest deputy minister of the Dali Temple in the empire, and my team of spies has never failed in any case." Bai Zhi smiled proudly, "And as the spy, I take 80% of the credit."
"What do you mean by the Dali Temple Shaoqing's ears and eyes?" Speaking of this, Conan was a little curious: "I have seen the name Dali Temple Shaoqing in world history. It seems to be a position in ancient China."
"I am mainly responsible for reviewing the judgments of the Ministry of Justice and hearing death penalty cases for the emperor." Bai Zhi explained with a smile: "As for me, the ears and eyes, you can understand me as... a secret detective."
Bai Zhi: "o(￣▽￣)d So, I am your ancestor~"
Conan: "Σ(-`Д′-；)Hey!!"
Bai Zhi: “(????)? Hehe~”
Conan completely shut up and didn't want to talk anymore. She could see that Baizhi had a dark inside despite her fair and tender appearance, a typical black sesame dumpling.
You can’t beat him, and you can’t convince him by talking.
God knows Conan's first impression of Baizhi is still that of an innocent, timid, charming, and boneless little white flower.
Now it seems that she is just a black-bellied and arrogant flower...
"But it's really strange that you weren't there this time." Bai Zhi looked at the nearby hospital and thought, "Logically, you are the little boy of death, so you should be there when he dies."
Conan: "?"
Why does this sound like an insult to him? It sounds like he has brought bad luck to others.
"That Baihe, Baizhi, you still remember him, right?" Since Baizhi now knows that he is Kudo Shinichi, Conan simply calls him Baizhi.
The honorific title was eaten up, and the two suffixes of "sister" also disappeared with the wind.
"I remember." Bai Zhi said with a hint of regret.
Suddenly I felt like I was younger in generation and was at a disadvantage.
"He got back faster than you did. He arrived at the scene ten minutes ago. Because he was in such a hurry to get back, he bumped into the patient named Nagasawa Shun." Conan said, "It seems that Nagasawa Shun was hospitalized for observation due to arrhythmia. He was hit like that and was sitting in a chair and couldn't recover."
Really? If so, it's still my fault.
Bai Zhi seemed to be thinking about something. Her action this time did speed up the progress of events and allowed them to finish work early tonight, so Bai He would not go back so early.
"But what does this have to do with finding out that Kimura Taro is dead?" Bai Zhi still felt strange: "Did Kimura Taro die in the emergency room or in the toilet?"
"No, it's the ward." Conan shook his head: "You all know Kimura Taro's temper. The three of them often quarrel."
"The ward next door said that it seemed that Taro Kimura had played a prank and locked them both out. They both heard Nagasawa Shun and Sakai Daisan knocking on the door, but Taro Kimura refused to open it."
"Oh, and Kimura Uehara also came once, but he knocked on the door to no avail, so he left again. Then, Baihe bumped into Nagasawa Shun, causing Nagasawa Shun to suffer a heart attack."
"After the medical staff performed the first aid, they carried Nagasawa Shun to the ward, but Kimura Taro still refused to open the door. Finally, Baihe got impatient and kicked the door open, and then found that Kimura Taro was already dead on the bed."
Conan described in a serious manner the information he had just received from Officer Takagi.
Officer Sato stayed to deal with the mess left by Yoshikawa Renji and those fake policemen, while Officer Takagi went to meet up with Officer Megure and is now driving to the hospital with Amuro Toru's car.
"What do you mean by kicking it open? Can't you just use the key to open it?" Amuro Toru wondered, "Besides, Nagasawa Shun has already been rescued and has just been sent to the bed to rest. There's no need to be so anxious, right?"
"No, actually this is not the first time this has happened. It seems that this happened once two days ago." Conan continued: "That day, it was another person named Sakai Daisan who opened the door with the key."
"This time, it seems that in order to prevent Sakai Daisan and Nagasawa Shun from using the spare key to enter the house, I found an excuse in advance and asked for the spare key."
"So, this is why no one can get in unless Kimura Taro opens the door...wait." Amuro Toru's face changed slightly: "So this is a closed room murder case?"
Conan: "Well, Officer Takagi said that the scene was very strange. Taro Kimura moved his bed away and lay in the middle, as if he was performing some strange ritual, and he held the key in his own hand..."
Strange ritual? What strange ritual?
Bai Zhi was very confused at first, but when she arrived at the hospital and entered the ward where the crime scene took place, she immediately understood what was going on.
The ward was messed up by Taro Kimura. There were originally three beds, each with a bedside table neatly arranged.
But now I don’t know where an old man who needs to be hospitalized for high blood pressure got so much strength. All three beds were placed against the wall, the bedside table was kicked down roughly and dragged to the side, all against the wall, leaving a large space in the middle empty.
The ground was covered with red liquid. You would be shocked when you first entered. If you didn't know, you might think that several people were killed and their aortas were cut open and the liquid was all over the ground.
However, judging from the appraisal, it is indeed a farce.
Kimura Uehara also said that his father heard from somewhere that black dog blood can drive away evil spirits.
From this point of view, the use of dog blood does seem to be a little bit similar to the traditional Chinese exorcism, but what is even more strange is that Taro Kimura is lying in the middle, with tarot cards scattered all around him.
Black dog blood and tarot cards, Taro Kimura's emotional ceremony is a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Taro Kimura was lying in the middle, and the tarot cards were arranged into a rectangle like a coffin. The arrangement was also very strange, like dominoes standing upright, with a line connecting the rectangle like a balloon's hanging string leading directly to the door.
According to witnesses, when the door was kicked open, they saw Tarot cards arranged in a square shape like dominoes falling to the ground one by one, and they fell completely to the ground the moment the door was fully opened.
That is to say, before they came in, the dominoes were placed upright.
When Baizhi and others arrived, the door was open. Looking at the pools of red blood and the pungent smell in the house, Amuro Toru subconsciously blocked Baizhi's eyes.
"...Pfft, Xiao Ling, don't react so quickly." Bai Zhi held Amuro Toru's hand helplessly: "I'm not a good person either."
Amuro Toru pursed his lips and said nothing.
Of course he knew that Bai Zhi was not afraid of these things, but he still blocked it subconsciously.
What was he thinking at that moment?
Perhaps it was because he thought of Bai Zhi's original appearance in his memory. In the classroom, she was full of energy and was bathed in sunlight. He would never get used to this scene.
