Chapter 716 The Kidnapper Who Suicidal
Toru Amuro and Conan rushed to the toilet first.
When they arrived at the restroom, they saw a woman with her hands and feet tied and her mouth taped sitting on the ground; opposite her, there was another person leaning against the toilet, pulling the trigger of his cell phone with his backhand, and the wall behind his head was covered with bright red blood.
After receiving the call, Inspector Megure quickly rushed over with his men.
Looking at the scene in the toilet, he couldn't help but sigh: Is this day finally here? Brother Maori's halo of death has affected his family!
After gathering everyone in the office, Inspector Megure began his routine questioning.
The tied-up woman is called Kei Katsuka. She came to the Mori Detective Agency after making an appointment to meet at the locker that contained the key that was found among her brother's belongings, in order to entrust Kogoro Mori to look for her.
However, when she arrived at the office, she was greeted by a man who claimed to be Maori's assistant, but he attacked her with a stun gun when she was not paying attention.
When she woke up, she found herself tied up with tape and trapped in the toilet.
In order to prevent Kei Kenzuka from escaping, the man also took off her shoes and shoelaces.
Then Kogoro Mori and others returned to the office. The man was worried that his imprisonment of Kei Katatsuka would be exposed, so he committed suicide by shooting himself.
The above is a self-narration from Kei Kenzuka.
Inspector Megure asked: "Why did that man take you to the toilet?"
Kenzuka Kei sobbed a few times, wiped his tears and said: "He kept asking me a question, asking where the locker with the key is, and he would kill me if I didn't tell him..."
“555···”
At this time, Takagi Wataru pushed the door open and walked in, reporting to Inspector Megure that according to the identification of the Forensic Department, almost no reaction of firing residues was detected on Kei Katatsuka's body. In layman's terms, no gunpowder smoke reaction was detected.
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "So, the man committed suicide? This also matches Miss Kenzuka's testimony."
Takagi Wataru nodded: "I'm afraid that's it."
Inspector Megure stood up and gave an order: "In any case, we must first find the location of the locker and find out the purpose of the man who committed suicide as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Takagi Wataru responded.
Several people came to the toilet again.
Inspector Megure looked at the dead man and was very confused: "Why did this man want to trap Miss Katatsuka in the toilet? Wasn't his purpose to find out where the locker with the key is?"
Maori Kogoro thought so too and said, "Indeed, wouldn't it be better to just threaten her with a gun and move to another place to continue questioning her?"
"But judging by the fact that she used a stun gun to stun the guy and then tied him up with duct tape, he might be planning to hide out here for a while."
Inspector Megure sighed: "In the end, he committed suicide with a pistol..."
Maori Kogoro snorted, "It should be that I, Maori Kogoro, came back faster than he expected, and he felt that he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide."
Conan laughed: But it wasn't you who discovered this...
Back in the living room, Kenzuka Kei calmed down a little and remembered something: "The man seemed very anxious and said that it would be terrible if we didn't find the locker quickly."
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "Ms. Kenzuka, you really don't know that man? His purpose is your brother's relics, so the possibility that he knows your brother should be very high."
Kenzuka Kei shook his head: "I don't know him at all, let alone him. Even among my brother's friends, I don't know many of them."
Toru Amuro stood to the right of Kei Kenzuka and asked, "Um, can I ask why your brother died?"
But Kei Kenzuka seemed not to have heard it and kept his head down.
Amuro Toru couldn't help but raise his voice: "Um, may I ask why your brother died..."
"Huh?" Kei Kenzuka was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Toru Amuro with confusion on his face.
Amuro Toru repeated again: "May I ask what was the cause of your brother's death?"
Kenzuka Kei said in a daze: "It was because of the accident four days ago..." She took out her cell phone and found a photo, "This is my brother"
The photo shows a man and a woman smiling brightly at the camera. The woman is Kei Katatsuka in front of us, and the man is undoubtedly the brother she mentioned who has passed away.
"Oh~ You guys seem to have a good relationship. You even set the photo on your desktop." Toru Amuro said casually.
Conan came closer and looked at the man in the photo in a daze. He felt like he had seen this man somewhere.
"Speaking of mobile phones..." Inspector Megure took out a mobile phone in an evidence bag and operated it through the bag. "This mobile phone found on the deceased has no other information records except for the text messages sent to Brother Mori disguised as the client."
"Brother Maoli, didn't you say that he sent several messages at that time, asking you to go to Columbus Restaurant as soon as possible?"
Kenzuka Kei explained: "This is because the last text message that man sent was from my phone."
Inspector Megure nodded slightly and continued, "Even if that's the case, there's only this one text message and no call records, but it doesn't look like a new phone."
Maori Kogoro guessed, "Maybe it's a cheap second-hand one? There aren't any scratches on the outside."
Inspector Megure added: "And there is one more thing that concerns me, that is the wallet and change that was placed in his pocket along with the phone."
Maori Kogoro was stunned: "What happened to the wallet and change?"
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "In addition to the locker key that was stolen from Miss Kenzuka, there was also a cell phone, a stun gun, and cigarettes all in his shirt pocket. The total change was 5,000 yuan."
Maori Kogoro was a little surprised: "Five thousand yuan?"
Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask, "But wouldn't that much change be very heavy?"
Inspector Megure nodded and continued, "Also, in his wallet, there were two 10,000-yuan bills, five 5,000-yuan bills, and even more outrageous, there were 47 1,000-yuan bills. Don't you think that's weird?"
Kogoro Maori's eyes widened in surprise.
At this time, Amuro Toru suddenly said: "Um, if possible, can you let me see what else is in your pocket?"
Conan also agreed: "Uncle Kogoro wants to see it too, right?"
Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
Inspector Megure had no reason to refuse, so he immediately had the things delivered.
Conan couldn't help but look at Kei Katatsuka. He always felt that there was some hidden secret behind this incident.
