Chapter 851: Cases from years ago
Mao Lilan and the other two made some black tea and chatted while waiting for Yuya.
Listening to Mao Lilan's story about what happened in the amusement park a few days ago, Sera Masumi said with emotion: "Eh, something like that actually happened."
"Yeah." Mao Lilan looked frightened.
Masumi Sera smiled and said, "But with Detective Mori and Kamiya here, any case won't be a problem, right?"
Mao Lilan nodded, and seeing Sera Masumi rummaging around in the wall cabinet, she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Sera-san, are you looking for something?"
"Of course it's a secret to find a boy~" Sera Masumi said mysteriously.
"Boys' secrets?" A question mark appeared above Mao Lilan's head. "What secrets?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled mischievously and said, "What else? Of course it's pornographic books~"
Mao Lilan blushed slightly: "How can there be such a thing..."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't think so, and said righteously: "He clearly asked you to help clean the house every month, but he didn't want you to find the photos. Don't you think it's suspicious? He must be trying to hide something."
Mao Lilan laughed dryly and said, "No, I didn't notice it before."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows. "So, Xiaolan, you looked for it when you were cleaning?"
Mao Lilan's face turned even redder, and she stammered, "I'm not, I didn't!"
"Found it!" Sera Masumi suddenly said.
"Huh?" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked over in surprise, "Really? A pornographic book?"
"It's not a pornographic book," Sera Masumi smiled. "Sonoko, what is your obsession with pornographic books?"
She opened her palm towards Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, with a taut rubber band on it: "Maybe what he wants to hide is not the pornographic book, but other women."
"Woman?" Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were even more surprised.
Sera Masumi waved her hand and said, "Look, this hair-binding rubber band is on top of the cabinet. Women tend to leave things like this around carelessly."
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That might have been put there by Shinichi's mother! Right, Sonoko?"
Suzuki Sonoko agreed, "Yes, yes, Auntie does often wear her hair in a bun."
Sera Masumi clenched the rubber band in his hand, walked to the sink and said, "But among these unwashed cups, there is a cup with lipstick on it, and it was wiped with the thumb."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko's face changed.
Sera Masumi bent down again and picked up something from the drain. "And there's a very long hair, it's definitely a woman's."
Conan, who was on duty seriously in the classroom, suddenly sneezed loudly.
Ayumi asked with concern: "Conan, do you have a cold?"
Conan shook his head, but he felt a chill on his back, as if someone was trying to harm him.
"It's terrible, Xiaolan! That bastard Shinichi really has someone outside! He even brought a woman back to have an affair!" Suzuki Sonoko was horrified and grabbed Mouri Ran's shoulders and shook her hard.
At first, Ran Mouri didn't think much about it. After all, she could see Conan every day, so how would he have time to go out and find women?
But maybe it's because emotions are contagious. After being treated like this by Suzuki Sonoko, I started to panic for some reason.
Sera Masumi stretched his hair and said, "If you think so, take pictures of these things and keep them. Write them down in your diary, and also write down when and where you found them, and your feelings when you found them. It will definitely be useful in the future when you file a lawsuit."
"Lawsuit?" Mao Lilan was shocked.
Masamune Sera continued, "As for the camera, since digital cameras can be modified, we need to use a film camera as evidence..."
"Okay, okay, Sera-san is almost done." Yuya pushed the door open and walked in. He frowned, "Didn't you see that these two idiots believed what you said?"
Masumi Sera was stunned for a moment and looked at Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki. The two of them actually took out their mobile phones to carefully record what she said. She immediately laughed awkwardly.
"Sorry, I was just joking..." She didn't expect that Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko would take it seriously and start recording.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but droop their eyes: "Are you kidding?"
Masumi Sera touched his head and chuckled twice.
Yuu looked at Mao Lilan helplessly: "Xiao Lan, you are really so easy to be deceived. Shinichi is not at home recently, and it is Subaru who lives here. Can't his girlfriend come to play?"
Mao Lilan blinked her eyes and nodded stupidly: "That's right."
Yuya put the file bag he found on the table and took out the photos of the scene from it. After comparison, the word "death" that Mao Lilan and the other two had just found at the scene was exactly the same as the bloody words left at the scene ten years ago.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the murderer from ten years ago has appeared again?"
Suzuki Sonoko's expression changed slightly: "Isn't that serial killing?"
Shira Masumi nodded and said in a deep voice: “I searched on the Internet, and the photo of the bloody word ten years ago was not made public, which means that except for those involved in the case, it is impossible to know what this death word looks like.
So there is a high possibility that the murderer in both cases is the same person.”
She looked at Yuya, "Kamiya-san, what do you think?"
Yuya stroked his chin, he already remembered the case from ten years ago, and he also knew the word death and the identity of the "murderer".
But... he looked at Sera Masumi who was frowning in thought, and an idea came to him, isn't this a good opportunity to observe Sera Masumi?
So he decided to keep it secret for the time being and see if he could find out something from Sera Masumi.
"I remember that Uncle Yusaku said that the murderer would never appear again, but why now?"
Sera Masumi was very surprised: "What, did he really say that?"
Yuya nodded.
Mao Lilan also remembered: "I remember when I saw this photo, Shinichi also complained to me about this. Obviously, the uncle's fingers and palms were stained with blood, but there was no blood on the fingertips.
Since the deceased uncle didn't write these words himself, why do you say it's not a murder case?
He was very dissatisfied at the time and complained for a long time. "
Sera Masumi pondered for a moment, took the photo from Yuya, looked at the bloody words on it and said, "Even if this is not a murder case, it is certain that there must be someone next to the body before the blood dried. And when we came back, we saw the same bloody words as before, didn't we?"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko both nodded vigorously.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of something: "I remember that the case was ruled as an accidental death, wasn't it?"
Yuya took out the information from the file bag and handed it to Sera Masumi: "The details of the case are all in here."
Masumi Sera quickly took it and started reading it.
