Could it be those people who did it?
"Okay, let's leave the matter over there to Megure-san and the others."
Putting Conan down, Maori Kogoro looked at Takagi Wataru and asked:
"So, what kind of murder happened here? Who is the deceased? How did he die?"
"Oh, the deceased's name is Takasugi Yuto..."
"Who?!" Kogoro Mouri shouted subconsciously when he heard it.
Conan, who was standing by, suddenly looked gloomy when he heard him say the name.
The text message Xiaoying sent him said that his uncle's client this time, Detective Narisawa's assistant, was named Takasugi Yuto.
"Taka, Takasugi Yuto!" Frightened by Kogoro Mori, Takagi Wataru repeated it again.
"This, how is this possible..."
After confirming that he had heard correctly, Kogoro Maori subconsciously took two steps back and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"He's dead?"
"Um, Detective Maori?"
"My client...is dead?"
"Client?" Takagi Wataru also began to get confused at this time, "Detective Mori, didn't Inspector Megure ask you to come? Then the reason you came to school is..."
"Ah, well, how should I put it? I'm actually..."
"Officer Takagi, how did the deceased die? Was it suicide or homicide?" Conan didn't let the two of them beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Ah, we are actually not sure about this yet..."
In response to Conan's question, Takagi Shigeru raised his hand and scratched his head, and replied rather embarrassedly.
"uncertain?"
"Because... how should I put it? The death of the deceased this time was very strange. The cause of death was suffocation, but it was not strangulation, nor was it poisoning, and it was probably not suicide..."
"Not strangulation or poisoning? Not even suicide? What do you mean by that?"
When Kogoro Maori heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Could it be that the deceased was just lying there quietly and suffocated to death?!"
"From the situation at the scene, it is indeed the case..."
"what?!"
Facing Maori Kogoro's questioning gaze, Takagi Wataru said weakly:
"The preliminary report of the forensic department showed that there were no toxic residues in the body of the deceased, nor were there any marks of strangulation that could have caused him to suffocate, or any signs of struggling before his death.
Well, it seems that the deceased really died so suddenly, he suffocated himself..."
"Forget it, just take me to the scene first..."
"Okay, okay, the scene is over here, please follow me."
After hearing what he said, Kogoro Mori thought everyone was stupid.
In all his years as a criminal policeman and detective, this was the first time he had heard of such a strange way of death.
Behind Kogoro Mouri, Conan lowered his head with a frown on his face.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly typed a text message about Takasugi Yuto's death and sent it to Karasuma Ying.
Just as he was about to press the send button, he remembered the "train derailment accident" that Takagi Shigeru had just mentioned, which was suspected to be a terrorist attack.
After hesitating for a moment, he wrote this matter at the end of the text message and sent it to Karasuma Ying.
Putting away his phone, Conan quickly caught up with Kogoro Mouri in front of him.
Chapter 131 There Must Be Something Wrong
"Sister Ying, is Conan back?"
In the Mouri Detective Agency, Mouri Ran opened the door and walked in, carrying the vegetables she had just bought.
In the kitchen, Wu Wanying looked back at her and said with a smile:
"Not yet. It seems that he was taken by Professor Agasa to visit Teitan University today. He probably won't be back for lunch."
"Teitan University? I remember that my father had a commission there today. Did they run into each other?
That kid is really something. He never tells me before doing anything. I wanted to make him a delicious meal today..."
As she said this, Mao Lilan walked into the kitchen, handed the vegetables in her hand to Karasuma Ying, and turned to get the apron hanging behind the door.
"It looks like there are only two of us left at noon today. Should we call Yuanzi over as well?"
"It's all right. There's enough food. You can make the decision, Xiaolan..."
As Karasuma Ying spoke, she turned on the faucet and slowly began to wash the vegetables.
There were still about two hours left before the meeting time she had agreed to meet with Officer Sato, which was enough time for her to have lunch before going.
But at this point in time, it’s almost time for Conan to meet Mr. Maori, right?
Anyway, she had briefly explained the whole story in the text message. With this great detective there, there was no need to worry about Mr. Maori getting into any trouble...
"Om."
The cell phone next to her suddenly vibrated. Karasuma Ying glanced over and saw that it was an unread text message with Conan as the sender.
Feeling a little confused, Wu Wanying wiped his hands, took the phone and opened the text message. After reading the content, his expression gradually became solemn.
Conan said two things in the text message.
First, Yuuto Takasugi, Naruzawa Sanpei's assistant, was killed this morning. The cause of death was a very strange suffocation, which was probably not suicide.
"Xiaolan, I'm going to make a phone call."
"Eh? Oh..."
Leaving the kitchen and walking to the balcony, Karasuma Ying quickly found a number from the address book and dialed it.
"Hello, Mr. Iyama, I would like to ask, is Detective Narisawa in the office now?"
This number was the phone number of the staff at Naruzawa Detective Agency that she had written down when she went to it yesterday afternoon.
"Ah, is that Karasuma-san? Mr. Narisawa is still in the office. What's the matter?" The voice on the phone was that of an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Is Detective Narisawa teaching the students in the training class now?" Karasuma Ying asked again.
"Yes."
"So, did Detective Narisawa say he had any special plans for the afternoon?"
"Arrangements? Not really. We just agreed to play mahjong after class like before... What's wrong, Karasuma-san? Do you have anything to ask Mr. Narisawa?"
"No, no...thank you."
After hanging up the phone, the expression on Wu Wanying's face became gradually solemn.
Including the murder of Takasugi Yuto today, there is one suspicious point in this recent series of events that she increasingly feels is not right.
why?
Why hasn't Yamatoda Sanfuyu dealt with Narisawa Sanpei yet?
This is illogical.
It is obvious that the secret of Yamatoda Mitoyuki was discovered by Narisawa Sanpei, and he may have the decisive evidence that can determine the life or death of Yamatoda Mitoyuki.
Therefore, apart from Yamato Ichiro, he should be the most threatening person to Yamato Sandu.
But the fact is that although Yamatoda Sanfuyu has eliminated several people who may threaten her, she has always ignored Narisawa Sanpei, who is theoretically the most deadly.
It seemed that she was not worried at all that Narisawa Sanpei would notice what she was doing behind the scenes, nor was she worried at all that Narisawa Sanpei would reveal her identity to the public.
In addition to Yamatoda Mifuyu, Narisawa Sanpei's reaction was also very abnormal.
After Ichiro Yamato and several others were murdered one after another, this veteran detective seemed to be blind. He completely ignored the recent events in the outside world and had no reaction, as if these had nothing to do with him...
It's so abnormal, both of them are so abnormal.
She hadn't thought about it carefully before, but after thinking about it carefully again now, Wu Wanying felt more and more that there must be some unknown secret behind the abnormal behavior of these two people.
In Conan's text message, in addition to telling about the murder of Takasugi Yuto, he also mentioned the situation on the part of Officer Sato.
It is said that last night, a train coming from the countryside suddenly derailed when passing a bend halfway up the mountain. The entire train was carried down the mountain by inertia, causing heavy casualties.
This was originally just a normal traffic accident, but after investigation by on-site staff today, it was found that several carriages of the train had traces of violent explosions.
Under normal circumstances, an explosion of this magnitude would never occur no matter how the train rolled or collided...
Therefore, this train derailment accident gradually transformed from a general traffic accident into a terrorist attack.
Inspector Megure, Inspector Sato, and most of the other officers from the First Investigation Division rushed to the scene this morning.
[Has Officer Sato also gone there?]
After seeing the information in Conan's text message, Karasuma Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally tried to call Sato Miwako.
"beep……"
After a brief call, Miwako Sato answered the call.
"Hello, Xiaoying, it's me." Sato Miwako said on the phone.
There was a lot of wind over there, and it could be heard that she was in the mountains.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to call you this morning. I just received a police dispatch notice and am still at the scene. I may not be able to come this afternoon.
If you don't mind, I'll bring the files that you asked me to check for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"it does not matter."
Without paying much attention, Karasuma Ying asked, "Officer Sato, are you at the scene of the train derailment accident?"
"You are indeed a detective. You are so well-informed."
Sato Miwako's tone was a little surprised, but soon she said seriously:
