The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 590 Special Door Key

"That's right,"

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded and turned to the next page in the police manual.

"But we have other discoveries."

"The most important point is that although some of the valuables of the Hitomi family have been reduced, the very valuable watch, ring and necklace on Hitomi Takehiko are all still on him!"

"From this we can fully infer that someone must have come in through the door, killed Takehiko Hitomi, and then disguised the scene as a robbery, and then killed him after being discovered."

"very good."

Bai Masong nodded with great satisfaction, turned his head, looked at the door of Ren Jian's house from a distance, and then asked again,

"What conclusions can you draw from this?"

"in conclusion?"

Sato Miwako and Shiratori Rensaburo looked at each other.

Shiratori Renzaburo immediately answered,

"The conclusion is that this time, Takehiko Hitomi's death was committed by an acquaintance!"

Disguising the scene to look like a home robbery and then murder is an attempt to shift the blame to someone they don't know. From this, we can infer that the murderer is an acquaintance of the deceased.

This should be correct under normal circumstances, but...

Bai Masong did not comment and looked at Sato Miwako again.

"I think......"

Sato Miwako narrowed her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't think it's just someone familiar who committed the crime."

"The murderer is most likely the hand of one of Hitomi Kanako and Hitomi Matsuichiro."

"why?"

After hearing this, Shiratori Renzaburo frowned, thinking of how Sato Miwako had previously believed that Hitomi Kanako was very suspicious, and thought that she was still holding on to her, so he said in a deep voice,

"Officer Sato, this is not the time to..."

"Officer Shiratori, I have a basis for my claim!"

Sato Miwako waved her hands, and her expression was different from her previous impatience. She looked very calm.

"The reason I think so is—the key to Takehiko Hitomi's house!"

House key?

When Shiratori Renzaburo heard this word, he was slightly stunned. To be honest, although he came here to be in charge of the case from the beginning, he did not pay much attention to the room key.

"What happened to the house key?"

"The key to Takehiko Hitomi's house has a special shape,"

Miwako Sato explained to Renzaburo Shiratori.

"A special shape?"

"That's right,"

Sato Miwako nodded and continued,

"I noticed this when Asong and I came in."

"At the time, we speculated that this key must have been specially processed by him. It has strong anti-theft capabilities and it is not easy to even make a replica."

"So, it can be seen that the person who entered this room most likely had the real key."

"And according to what Hitomi Kanako said before, the people who have the key are none other than the couple and the person who got the key not long ago, Mimatsu Ichiro."

"Hey, wait,"

Shiratori Renzaburo proposed a loophole.

"What you said makes sense, but is it possible that Takehiko Hitomi opened the door himself?"

"impossible."

Bai Masong shook his head, took two steps towards the entrance, and came to the place where Takehiko had fallen to the ground and died.

Now, Takehiko Hitomi's body has been taken away, and all that is left on the ground are the white lines drawn by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Bai Ma Song pointed to the place where Takehiko fell on the ground and said to Shiratori Renzaburo,

"The place where Takehiko fell down was destined to be the one he did not open the door himself."

"this......"

Shiratori Renzaburo opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but when the words reached his lips, he forced them down and turned into thinking about Baimasong's words.

After a while,

"I see!"

Shiratori Renzaburo suddenly realized.

"Hitomi Takehiko's position is close to the entrance, but not exactly at the entrance. Instead, it is in the corridor connecting the living room to the entrance."

"This position, plus the fact that he fell face up with his head towards the living room, means that he was about to walk from the living room to the entrance, and then he saw the murderer, and was killed by the murderer!"

"And since Hitomi Takehiko was in the living room before, it's impossible for him to walk over and open the door for the murderer!"

"good,"

Bai Basong nodded appreciatively and glanced at Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako.

The reasoning abilities of both of them have now grown, and they can now draw correct conclusions based on the information at the scene.

“So what I said was right!”

Sato Miwako looked smugly at Shiratori Renzaburo who had refuted her earlier.

"Officer Shiratori, I told you there's definitely something wrong with Mrs. Hitomi Kanako! She's too clean, which is unusual!"

After listening to what Sato Miwako said, Shiratori Jinzaburo still wanted to refute it, because in his opinion, Mrs. Hitomi Kanako did not look like she had just killed her husband, and there was no evidence.

But now he couldn't refute it.

After all, it is known that the murderer has the key, but now the only people who have the key are Kanako Hitomi and Matsuichiro Hitomi.

At the same time, Matsuichiro Hitomi fell to his death at the Beika Hotel. Doesn't this mean that the murderer can only be Kanako Hitomi?

Even though they don't know her methods yet, they have no other options!

at this time......

Bai Masong shook his head slightly and said to the two of them calmly,

“Don’t jump to conclusions about anything.”

"No matter how reasonable the evidence seems, we cannot ignore unreasonable clues."

Miwako Sato and Rensaburo Shiratori pondered for a moment and nodded.

Bai Masong has made it very clear. There are still too many doubts at present, and we cannot convict Kanako casually.

"Let's go back to the Rice Flower Hotel. I need to confirm something with Mr. Maori."

Bai Ma Song waved to Sato Miwako,

"By the way, Shiratori, you should stay here and report any problems you have."

"Ok."

..............................................

Rice Flower Hotel

Room 1015

Takagi Wataru and the Metropolitan Police Department police officers are still here conducting searches and collecting evidence, and Mouri Kogoro and his family are also accompanying them here.

"White Horse Officer,"

As soon as Takagi Shigeru saw Hakuba Matsu and Sato Miwako coming in, he immediately came over to greet them.

"Did you find anything over there?"

"There are some discoveries,"

Bai Masong nodded slightly, then glanced at Maori Kogoro standing behind Gao Mushi.

"So, Sato and I will be back right away to confirm some things."
