Karasuma Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, and Kuroba Kaito immediately understood what she meant.
"That is to say, when we noticed President Yamatoda's body in the West Tower, there was actually no one else on the 53rd floor of the East Tower?"
Long before, the police had evacuated all the people in the East Tower in order to guard against him.
Kenta and San Kitetsu, who rushed to the East Tower after the first wave of fireworks, had only reached the 40th floor when the second wave of fireworks rose and President Yamato was found hanging outside the East Tower. They did not have the conditions to commit the crime.
Is this suicide?
Or an "impossible crime"?
"Ding!"
While I was lost in thought, the elevator finally reached the first floor.
"Gao Mu, you continue to stay here. Xiaoying and I will go upstairs to check the scene first."
Leaving these words behind, Kuroba Kaito and Karasuma Ying entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 53rd floor.
The elevator rose slowly, and neither of them spoke in the small space.
"Ding!"
Time passed quickly, and as the bell rang again, the elevator stopped on the 48th floor.
"Hmm? Officer Sato? Why are you here?"
The elevator door opened and Shan Qizhe looked at the two people in surprise.
"Come in first, Mr. Shanqi, is President Yamatoda here?" asked Karasuma Ying.
"No, I just looked everywhere, the master is not here..." Shan Qizhe replied as he walked into the elevator.
"Is that really the case..."
"really?"
"We saw President Yamatoda hang himself outside the balcony of the president's office."
"What?! The master hanged himself?!"
Hearing what Karasuma Ying said, Shan Qizhe's face was extremely shocked, and his originally calm and serious expression completely collapsed at this moment.
"How is this possible?! How could the master... Is it because of that incident? If that's the case, the master could have come to discuss it with me, how could it be..."
Shan Qizhe looked very flustered, and he kept muttering a bunch of words that Karasuma Ying and Kuroba Kaito couldn't understand.
"Ding!" The elevator bell rang again, and we arrived at the 53rd floor.
Although Karasuma Ying wanted to ask the old butler some questions, there were obviously more important things to do now.
"Mr. Shan Qi, take us to the president's office first."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
Led by Shan Qizhe, the three of them walked quickly through the corridor and arrived at the door of the president's office.
Kuroba Kaito was the first to go forward and open the door, but the door handle didn't move at all.
"The door is locked?"
He was a little surprised.
Shouldn't that young master Kenta already be in the president's office?
"Please wait, I'll open it right away."
Shan Qizhe hurried forward, took out a door card from his chest pocket and pressed it on the door handle.
"drop."
With a crisp sound, the door opened.
"Sorry, this door requires a key card to lock or unlock..."
After opening the door, the three of them walked straight through the president's office and came to the balcony outside.
"Dad! Wake up! Dad!"
On the balcony, a long hemp rope was tied to the railing. Kenta Yamato was lying on the ground, crying bitterly in front of a corpse.
"Master Jian, Master Jian, the master..."
"Shan Qi?"
Kenta turned around and looked at Shan Qizhe, his eyes were red and swollen, and full of tears.
"When I first came in, I saw Dad hanging outside the balcony. I immediately put him down, but, but Dad has already..."
"calm down!"
Kuroba Kaito shouted loudly, and stepped forward to check on Yamatoda Ichiro's condition.
"Normally, if he hangs himself for less than ten minutes, he still has a chance of survival. He was still in the observation room on the 48th floor when the first wave of fireworks appeared. There might be enough time. I will perform CPR on him now. Maybe there is still a chance of saving him..."
Having said this, Kuroba Kaito rolled up his sleeves and immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Yamato Ichiro.
"Huh? What is this?"
However, just after pressing it, he felt a hard object on the left side of Yamatoda Ichiro's chest.
"Cellphone? Xiaoying, take it first."
Taking out the cell phone that Ichiro Yamato had placed in his left chest pocket, Kaito Kuroba handed it to Karasuma Ying, and continued to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
【wrong! 】
After taking this old-fashioned mobile phone, Wu Wanying frowned immediately.
She remembered Dr. Agasa saying that Ichiro Yamato had a bad heart and even had a pacemaker installed.
How could such a person put a cell phone in his left breast pocket, closest to his heart?
Although with the advancement of technology, many new mobile phones nowadays will not affect pacemakers, but this is a very old-fashioned mobile phone...
Could it be that the murderer put it there on purpose?
Is this murder?
"Huh...huh..."
Just as Karasuma Ying was in deep thought, Kuroba Kaito, who was breathing rapidly, had stopped what he was doing.
"Officer Sato?" Kenta looked at him, and the little hope in his eyes gradually died out.
"Feel sorry……"
Avoiding his gaze, Kuroba Kaito said somewhat sadly:
"Unfortunately, President Yamatoda... has passed away."
Chapter 72 The real Chris, can't act and doesn't have a boyfriend
“Dad! Aaaaaahhh!!”
On the balcony of the president's office, Kenta clutched the hand of the dead Ichiro Yamatoda and cried bitterly.
Behind him, Shan Qizhe's eyes were also filled with tears.
"Master, why... We have gone through so much hardship to finally reach the twentieth anniversary. You clearly told me that we should work hard together in the future. Why did you commit suicide..."
【Suicide?】
After hearing what Shan Qizhe said, Wu Wanying lowered his eyes and thought.
Indeed, when the first wave of fireworks rose, President Yamato was still in the observation room on the 48th floor. When the second wave of fireworks rose, he had already hanged himself outside the balcony of the president's office on the 53rd floor.
During this period, no one approached these two floors, which really gave people the feeling that President Yamatoda committed suicide...
"Xiaoying, what do you think?" asked Kuroba Kaito, still breathing heavily.
"It's too early to tell, but I personally think it's probably not suicide."
Karasumaying replied truthfully. When she said this, she glanced at Kuroba Kaito subconsciously.
【Um? 】
Looking at the still gasping "Officer Sato", she suddenly felt confused.
[Even though he was panting so hard, why wasn't there a drop of sweat on Officer Sato's face? 】
Without noticing Karasuma Ying's gaze, Kuroba Kaito calmed his breath and immediately said:
"Xiaoying, Officer Megure and the others should be here soon. Before that, let's investigate the situation at the scene first."
"it is good."
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Karasuma Ying came to the body of President Yamatoda and gently patted Kenta who was still crying bitterly.
"Kenta, my condolences."
"Ying?"
"Can I see my uncle's body?"
"Ying, do you think..."
"Trust me, I will find out the truth."
"it is good."
Looking at Karasuma Ying's serious eyes, Kenta stood up and nodded vigorously.
"I believe you."
When he was in the United States, he already knew that Karasuma Ying was very smart, especially in the area of reasoning.
The opportunity for the two to get to know each other was that Karasuma Ying had once solved a murder case at one of his art exhibitions.
"There are obvious marks of strangulation on the neck, and the body is still warm. The heart must have stopped beating not long ago. It is estimated that the time of death was five to twenty minutes ago." After a brief observation of the corpse, Kuroba Kaito said.
"Strange, this stain..."
Karasuma Ying keenly noticed that there was a dark stain on President Yamatoda's kimono, still on the left chest. The stain was very small and difficult to find without careful observation.
"Officer Sato, are your hands clean?"
