Chapter 581: Officer Sato was intercepted?

Chapter 581: Officer Sato was intercepted?

Just when everyone was guessing who had given the ring, Sato Miwako suddenly asked, "Someone died?"

The policemen who were gossiping just now suddenly looked serious.

Miwako Sato turned to look at Inspector Megure, who pointed at her and nodded solemnly, indicating that she should go out immediately.

Sato Miwako nodded vigorously: "I understand, Xiaolan, I'll be over there right away."

Xiaolan? Yuya was stunned. The person who reported the case was Xiaolan? No need to ask, Conan and Uncle Kogoro must be there too.

"There's a murder at Okutama Villa." Sato Miwako shouted to Takagi Wataru, "Let's go, Takagi!"

"Takagi!" Shiratori Renzaburo winked at Takagi Wataru who was still in a daze.

Takagi Shigeru bowed his head and said, "I understand! Please, take care of this." Then he stuffed the cup in his hand into Shiratori Rensaburo's hand.

Shiratori Rensaburo was stunned: "No, what I meant is..." He stretched out Erkang's hand, "... to find out the origin of the ring."

But before he could finish his words, Takagi Wataru had disappeared.

Shiratori Renzaburo sighed deeply, turned around and said, "Brother Kamiya...Brother Kamiya?"

Shiratori Renzaburo looked around, confused. Where is brother Kamiya?

···

"The deceased is a mystery novelist, Morokuchi Yoshikazu, 52 years old this year, and the cause of death is cyanide poison." Takagi Wataru looked at the manual and reported the preliminary investigation results, "Judging from the coffee dripping from the corner of his mouth..."

Miwako Sato took over the conversation and said, "Did he drink the poisoned coffee himself, or was he forced to drink it by someone else?"

Maori Kogoro bent over and suddenly hummed. Seeing Sato Miwako looking over, he quickly said, "It shouldn't have been drunk, right? The windows and doors of this room are all closed. Isn't it a secret room?"

"Also, Mr. Zhukou is holding the key to this room, and he doesn't have a spare. This is suicide no matter how you look at it, right?"

"But," Takagi Shigeru immediately retorted, "If someone mixed cyanide poison into coffee, it would be possible to kill someone in a closed room, right? Of course, the premise is that the person knew that Mr. Moroguchi had the habit of drinking coffee in the morning."

Maori Kogoro said disdainfully: "Idiot, would most people hold the key and coffee on purpose? Of course, cyanide poisoning speed is very fast, so he can't hold the key when the poison is taking effect.

So, he must have held the coffee before drinking it, trying to convey some kind of message, right?"

Yuya and Miyano Shiho stood aside, quietly watching Takagi, Sato and Maori Kogoro analyzing An Jing.

Conan walked over and asked with empty eyes: "Why are you here too? And you came with Officer Sato and the others."

Yuya squatted down and whispered, "Did you see the ring on Officer Sato's left hand?"

Conan nodded and looked back: "I saw it, wasn't that sent by Officer Takagi? They are progressing pretty fast."

Yuya said solemnly, "That wasn't given by Officer Takagi."

Conan's eyes widened: "What? It wasn't sent by him? Then who was it?"

You have to know that rings cannot be worn casually. Each finger has a different meaning. Since Officer Sato wears it on the ring finger of her left hand, it means that she is engaged to that man.

But the person who gave the ring was not Officer Takagi???

Yuya pinched his chin and said, "Yeah, it wasn't him. Someone came out of nowhere and intercepted Officer Sato. I accepted the commission from Inspector Shiratori to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Conan's mouth twitched slightly: "Isn't it better to just ask directly about this matter? According to Sato's personality, he will definitely not hide it. Is it necessary to make it so formal as a commission?"

Yuya shook his finger: "This is a very complicated matter, you don't understand. Do you think Officer Takagi can ask such a question given his personality?"

"As for the others, they are even behind Officer Takagi. What qualifications do they have to question the origin of the ring? I'll have to investigate."

Conan was stunned for a moment, and found that what Yuya said actually made some sense.

But for some reason, when he looked at Yuya, he always felt that he had an expression of watching the fun...

On the other side, Mao Lilan also heard this shocking news from Miyano Shiho: "Huh? Wasn't that sent by Officer Takagi?"

Maori Kogoro, who was standing nearby, happened to hear it and joked, "It seems that she found a more reliable handsome guy than you and dumped you?"

"Dad!" Mao Lilan glared at her father with dissatisfaction.

Takagi Wataru looked like he had been hit hard: "Maybe..."

Mao Lilan was anxious: "Go and find out about this matter quickly! Otherwise, Officer Sato..."

Takagi Wataru looked melancholy: "How dare I ask? If the answer I get is the one I don't want to hear, how can I face Officer Sato in the future..."

Conan sighed slightly and shifted his attention from the matter of Takagi Shigeru and Sato Miwako to the case.

Yuya walked up to him and suddenly said, "Did you notice that the corpse's ring was worn upside down?"

"Huh?" Conan's expression froze. As expected, the number "100th" on the ring, which represented the weight, was upside down.

Conan pondered and said, "From what his wife said, the deceased rarely took off his ring when he was alive, and he was a bit neurotic. Logically speaking, such a person would not wear the ring upside down, so..."

Yuya walked forward, put on gloves under the gaze of Sato Miwako, and then took off the ring.

I looked at the ring first, but didn't find any problems.

At this time, Conan pulled Yuya's clothes and whispered, "Look at his fingers."

Youye looked down and saw a circle of dark red marks on the deceased's finger where the ring was originally worn. Youye leaned over to take a closer look and found that it was blood.

And in the middle of this circle of blood, there is a wipe mark.

"This is..." Youye narrowed his eyes, "Why is there this mark left?"

Takagi Wataru also turned his attention back to the case. Upon hearing this, he immediately guessed, "Could it be that there was blood on the ring, so the murderer took it off, wiped it clean, and put it back on, but didn't pay attention and put it on the wrong way?"

Sato Miwako immediately objected, "If the murderer took off the ring, why didn't he wipe off the blood on his finger? Otherwise, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?"

"I guess the murderer wiped the blood directly, but why did he take off the ring?"

"Of course it's to set up a mechanism and turn this room into a secret room!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Youya.

Yuya frowned slightly: "Officer Sato, how is the investigation of the villa going? Have you found anything long and thin that can be used as a prop to deliver the key to the deceased?"

Miwako Sato thought for a while and shook her head: "We have investigated the villa and its surroundings, but found nothing." She looked at the room and said, "There is only one window in this room that is open for a child to pass through, and the window is about 4 meters away from the body of the deceased. This distance..."

Youye pondered and said, if that’s the case, then the props used to set up the mechanism should still be on the murderer?

He stared at the strange wipe mark in the middle of the blood.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up - so that's what it was!
