Stay away from Conan

Chapter 6 Satisfactory Resolution

This feeling of holding the correct answer, adapting to the needs on the spot, and taking control of the situation is so satisfying!

Feeling his heart beating rapidly, Gao Yuan fell in love with this feeling.

"I believe the Japanese police are still very good."

If I was actually joking, I don't know what the police would think.

"There is no reason why these abnormalities were not discovered during the inspection at that time. Moreover, half a year later, even if the murderer used this method to commit the crime, there is no reason why these physical evidence would still be left at the scene after such a long time."

This is an obvious problem. When Gao Yuan saw that the "Lavender Villa Secret Room Murder Incident" described in the newspaper happened half a year ago, but the high school detective Junya Tokio who was traveling and passing by found new evidence in the villa recently, It's easy to think of it - there is no reason why the evidence at the scene has not been cleared away after half a year.

"So, just based on the newspaper reports, I felt that something was unreasonable here, so I hurried here today to find out what the problems are here."

Gao Yuan perfectly explained his purpose.

When the leading police officer heard this, the policeman next to him who looked like the deputy of the police officer glanced at him.

"Indeed, we did thoroughly investigate all possible clues in the villa at that time and found nothing. But..."

the deputy said, pausing.

"When the high school student detective presented the evidence he found, we did think that there might have been an oversight in the original investigation... After all, the detective was quite famous in the police circle. And after we started the investigation again, we did find that the window at the scene was It was because of manipulation, so..."

"So you think you are wrong?"

Gao Yuan smiled speechlessly.

"Officer, please take a closer look at this severed screw and the physical evidence in your hands. Take a closer look."

Gao Yuan emphasized.

"Does it look like it was left outside for half a year and soaked by rain and dew? The rust on the screws is too shallow."

The police officer looked carefully at the screws in his hand and frowned slightly.

"you mean……"

"No matter how you look at it, this should have only happened recently. In other words, whether it was removing the window, cutting off the screws, or using glue to re-glue the window, it all happened recently. It has nothing to do with the 'murder case' half a year ago. ”

Takato said, looking at Kana Mizuguchi and Renzo Koutani.

"Have any outsiders entered the villa in the past month or two? And they seemed to have stayed for a long time."

Hearing this, Jiagu Liansan thought for a while and then came up with the idea.

"In other words, a month ago we hired a cleaner to clean the villa. Because the workload was relatively heavy, the cleaner stayed for a whole day."

"That's right. The hands and feet on the window were probably done by the cleaner. After all, it's such a big villa, and it's famous because of that case. It's possible that someone wants to use some crooked thinking."

Gao Yuan said this, even though he knew that the truth was like this, he could only use this suspicious statement to explain it.

The police officer listened to Gao Yuan's words, thought deeply for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"So, if these have nothing to do with the murder, what about the secret room murder?"

"Why are you always obsessed with the secret room?"

Gao Yuan suddenly asked.

"Why don't you think of it simply? This is actually a suicide?"

"ha?"

After hearing this sentence, everyone present was stunned for a moment. They really didn't expect that a person who claimed to be a detective would actually say such a thing.

Gao Yuan felt helpless as everyone looked at him blankly.

"Occam's razor theory, there are many different explanations for one thing, and we should adopt the simpler or falsifiable one. Why do you think the deceased did not commit suicide?"

"Because, judging from the family situation of the deceased, they lived a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing, and no emotional entanglement was found. I really can't think of any reason for the deceased to commit suicide."

said the police officer.

"Is it because of this? Isn't there any substantial evidence? There is more clear evidence, such as abnormal strangulation marks or abnormalities at the scene."

Gao Yuan appeared confused on the surface, but he actually knew it very well.

"If there was, the original investigation would not have yielded nothing."

"There were no abnormalities found in the autopsy?"

"No, because of the guardian's strong objections, he did not agree to do a deeper autopsy in the end. He only investigated the traces on the body. But the cause of death should be unmistakable."

The police officer said and glanced at Kotani Renzo.

"Yes, I strongly oppose it!"

Gao Yuan got the answer he wanted and began to look at Kotani Renzo with playful eyes.

"Mr. Kotani is so old, and as the housekeeper of this villa, he should be the person closest to the deceased. Do you know why the family objects to the autopsy?"

Faced with Gao Yuan's sudden change of topic, Kabutani Renzo felt pressure, "Because...because of the lady's reputation...I really don't want...I don't want the lady...to suffer...that kind of treatment after her death."

There was some stuttering, and Jia Gu Rensan began to feel a little weak when he spoke. It was precisely because of this that the police officers present noticed the abnormality very keenly, and looked at the elderly housekeeper with ferocious eyes.

"Then don't you want to know the truth about your lady's death? After all, the police have said that they can't find a reason for your lady to commit suicide, so it may be a homicide case! Don't you want to find out the truth and give your lady justice?"

The more Gao Yuan spoke, the more he leaned in front of Jiagu Liansan, with a sense of oppression that made Jiagu Liansan unable to help but want to retreat.

At this moment, the leading police officer suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Kotani Renzo, and said in an extremely serious tone.

"Jiagu Rensan, it seems that it is necessary to go back with us and have a good chat."

"No……"

Trembling, Jiagu Liansan used a trembling tone, as if he was struggling.

"Mr. Kotani!"

Mizuguchi Kana on the side looked at Koutani Renzo's performance at this moment and covered her mouth in surprise.

Even though the police officer grabbed his shoulder, Kabutani Renzo was still trembling all over but said nothing.

"Mr. Kotani, do you know where I found Miss Mizuguchi just now?"

Gao Yuan stepped forward and looked at Jia Gu Rensan with calm eyes.

"On the cliff by the sea! If I had arrived a step too late, Miss Mizuguchi might no longer be in this world."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, pressing on the struggling Jiagu Liansan's heart. At this moment, Kotani Renzo completely gave up struggling.

"No need to go to the police station."

When the police officer saw that Kotani Renzo had spoken, he let him go. The deputy police officer beside him wisely took out his notebook.

"The young lady committed suicide."

A very simple truth, something that originally only required one sentence, made the police investigate for half a year and almost wrongfully accused Kana Mizuguchi.

Kotani Renzo quickly explained the reason why the young lady committed suicide: He accidentally discovered that the young lady was taking addictive drugs. In order to prevent the young lady from taking such drugs again, he burned all the medicines at home, but there was no I thought that the young lady chose to commit suicide because she couldn't bear the life without medicine. In order to protect the reputation of the young lady after her death, Kotani Renzo chose to remain silent.

After receiving such a result, the police officers present were a little unbelievable that the case they had been handling for half a year was actually just a suicide. But not all was found. The cleaner who came to the villa a month ago to remove the windows still needs to continue tracing.

The case was successfully solved, Gao Yuan also buckled down with Kotani Renzo to tell the truth, and waited until the settlement panel of "Bounty Detective" appeared again.

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."
