Chapter 65
Xia Ri shook her head.
"Sorry, I can't determine who the murderer is yet, but one thing is certain. I think the murderer did not choose to leave the community activity center immediately after the murder. Then he must want to get in the crowd and leave here calmly with the help of the crowd."
"I guess it will take at least five minutes to drown Mr. Kawashima in the sea and then drag him to the piano room. Since he drowned in the sea, even if the murderer made preparations in advance, he would have to leave some water stains on his body to a greater or lesser extent!"
"So we just need to know what happened to those who participated in the ritual today, who had left for a while after Mr. Kawashima left and had water stains on his body, he would probably be inseparable!"
Not bad, this kid!
Kogoro looked at Xia Ri with a little surprise. Unexpectedly, Xia Ri, a layman who had never been in contact with the detective industry before, would grow so much in just a few days!
However, this little cleverness is far worse than mine!
Kogoro nodded pretendingly and took over the topic: "That's right! I think so too! Next, I would like to ask everyone present, during the ritual, I wonder if anyone of you saw Mr. Kawashima leave when he left the seat?"
The islanders looked at each other, silently. Just when Kogoro thought no one would answer this question, he saw Takiji Kuroiya coughing reluctantly.
"I know when he left."
Huh?
Everyone focused their eyes on Heiyan Takiji, whose eyes were full of surprise and suspicion, instantly making Heiyan Takiji feel like a thorn on his back.
Heiyan Takiji sighed in his heart, understanding in his heart why these people looked at him with this kind of gaze.
After all, Eio Kawashima, Masato Kiyomizu and himself are one of the three candidates for this election. Now that Eio Kawashima is dead, he said that knowing when he left will inevitably make people feel that he is the murderer!
"Kawashima was sitting next to me at that time. I did see him leaving the court, but he just said he wanted to go to the bathroom. I didn't think much about it, but I had been waiting for a long time and didn't see him come back, so I was already a little worried..."
"That's it..." Kogoro touched his chin and asked again, "Then have you seen any suspicious person following him?"
Kuroi Ion Tatsuji shook his head: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."
At this time, Asai Narimi said carefully: "Ah, this...I know... who is the person who left the courthouse behind Mr. Kawashima?"
"Do you know?" Kogoro's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyes were scorching at Asai Narihi.
"The person who left the venue after Mr. Kawashima...is...is..."
Seeing Asai Narimi hesitantly, Kogoro grabbed her shoulders in a hurry and kept shaking.
"Who is that person? Tell me quickly!!"
Asai Narimi was dizzy when she was shaken by Kogoro, and she had to say, "That person...is...me!"
"What!? You!?" Kogoro was dumbfounded.
"Yes." Asai Nariki said a little embarrassedly, "I'm going to the bathroom too..."
"However, from the time I went to the bathroom to the time I came back, I didn't see any suspicious people... and the men's toilet and the women's toilet are separated. Even if something happened in the men's toilet, I wouldn't know."
After hearing what Asai Narishi said, Kogoro smiled embarrassedly: "Well, what you said is right... Then who else do you see someone else going out?"
The islanders shook their heads. After all, if they were not close people, who would have noticed whether someone left the seat halfway.
Seeing this, Kogoro sighed and couldn't help but change another question.
"So anyone knows what enemies Mr. Kawashima had during his lifetime?"
When Kuroi Ion Tatsuji was happy when he heard this, he glanced at Shimizu Masato beside him. Now Eio Kawashima is dead. As his only remaining competitor, regardless of whether Shimizu Masato has anything to do with this matter, he decided to pour some dirty water on him!
After all, as a politician, fighting against the enemy is always his primary purpose.
"I know this!" Kuroi Ion Tatsuji turned his gaze to Shimizu Masato with malicious intentions and said sinisterly, "There are probably no enemies... But if Kawashima dies, the happiest person should be Mr. Shimizu, who is also a candidate for mayor..."
"What did you say!!?"
Shimizu Masato's face changed. Unexpectedly, Tatsuji Kuroi is so shameless, and he actually wants to use Kawashima's death to take the opportunity to frame him!
After being framed by someone, Shimizu Masato naturally did not want to be outdone. He gritted his teeth and replied fiercely: "You should be talking about yourself! Mayor Heiyan!! Haven't you always regarded Kawashima as your biggest competitor? Now that he is dead, you may wake up laughing when you sleep at night!"
The two of them faced each other with a sharp edge, and neither of them allowed anybody to let each other.
The tall woman beside Tatsuji Kuroiyao chuckled at this time and said to Shimizu Masato in a sarcastic tone: "That's right, although Kawashima's death has been of great help to my father's election, maybe some people did it to grab the source of votes!"
Xia Ri's eyes swept around Heiyan Takiji and the woman. He originally thought that this woman would be Heiyan Takiji's secretary, but now he saw that it was her daughter.
But these two people don’t look like each other at all!
"you!!!"
Qingshui is so angry that he is very angry, but his fists are hard to beat four hands. As a practical man, how can he be able to beat a woman in terms of his verbal skills?
Seeing that these people were becoming more and more quarrels, Kogoro hurriedly stood among them and smiled and smoothed out the situation.
"Oh, let's calm down first..."
"Anyway, the murderer has almost been confirmed to be the people who participated in the ritual today. As long as you confirm that the person is a man or a woman, it will be not difficult to find the real murderer!"
However, as soon as Kogoro finished speaking, a tender childish voice had already been heard at everyone's feet.
"The murderer should be a man..."
Everyone followed the sound and saw Conan standing aside, holding his chin with his hands, looking solemn.
"Man?" Kogoro was stunned, "Hey, kid, why did you say that?"
Conan pointed to Kawashima's body and said, "Because Mr. Kawashima who was killed is a very tall man, he has to let such a tall person drown at the beach in a short period of time and drag it into this room. Ordinary women may not have such strength."
"Even if you say that..." Kogoro frowned, "If it were two women who worked together to carry it, it would be possible."
