Chapter 261 - Scene
"Hmm..." Qian Yu approached the corpse of Furumura and looked at the fruit knife on his chest.
Just a few centimeters next to the fruit knife, a clasp had been ripped off, leaving only a broken thread - the clasp was still there when they last saw the living Mr. Furumura.
This is very confusing, Qianyu and they didn't hear any sound just now, so it is very likely that Mr. Furumura was attacked in his sleep.
So excuse me, where did this clasp go?
"Why are you there?" Standing in the doorway of the bedroom (the room where the bed they slept in), Conan looked at Gray Yuan and Chiba in astonishment. "What did you just do?"
"Don't you think it's boring to say this when someone is dead?" Qian Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department again.
γγγ
"The deceased, Tokuhiro Furumura, male, 39 years oldβ"
"39 years old!?" Chiba on the side was stunned after hearing Takagi give such a message. "This guy is only 39 years old?"
"Huh?" Takagi was taken aback by Chiha, and then he looked carefully at Furumura Tokuhiro's face. "Uh... This guy's ID does say that he is 39 years old, yes, maybe he looks older because his life is extremely irregular, right? β
"Brother Takagi, don't get distracted, please continue." Twilight, who was also looking at the corpse, reminded.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Takagi hurriedly cut back to the point. "The cause of death was the kitchen knife in the abdomen, and it was inferred that he was killed instantly. In addition, Mr. Furumura was covered with a blanket that did not completely cover his body, and there was a knife cut on it that matched the position of the knife on his body. β
"A knife to the heart..." Twilight mused. "It looks like the killer must have pressed a blanket against the deceased and used it to cover the blood gushing out of the heart stabbed in the heart."
"That blanket was actually used by Mr. Furumura," Hoshima said. "Because we have a habit of playing mahjong all night after the movie is finished, Mr. Furumura takes a break here before the movie is released."
"Excuse me," Officer Twilight suddenly remembered something. "Mr. Hoshima, where were you at the time of the incident?"
"Me?" Hoshima paused for a moment, then said. "I was sleeping here."
He pointed to another sofa next to the mahjong table next to the body where the corpse of the ancient village was locatedβalong with a blanket and a pillow on it.
"Were you immediately awakened when Mr. Furumura was assassinated?" Officer Twilight continued.
βγγγβ Chiba had already guessed the point of Officer Twilight's question, and then looked at Hoshima, who was gradually killing herself.
"Yes." Hoshima nodded.
"Did you hear any of the prisoners as they left?" Officer Twilight said, looking at Conan and the others.
Conan shook his head and looked at Chiba. "I was on the other side of the bedroom, and I couldn't hear a small sound through the door. But Chiba seemed to be in the living room at the time, and maybe he could hear it. β
"I was in the pantry and couldn't hear clearly." Qian Yu shook his head.
"You're in the storage room with Ashbara?" Conan raised an eyebrow.
"In other words, if the killer had come in from the outside," Officer Twilight said, glancing around, gesturing to the mess in the living room. "It's just about being able to get through these very messy arrangements quickly in the dark without making any sound."
"Mr. Hoshima," Finally, Officer Twilight stared at Hoshima coldly. "Do you think it's possible?"
"Mr. Officer," Hoshima already sensed that something was wrong. "What do you mean?"
"You're the only one who fits the bill," Officer Twilight said. "The ability to kill Mr. Furumura without being heard."
"Huh?" Hoshima was already panicking. "It's not me!"
"There's no sign of the lock being picked open," Officer Twilight continued. "If it's not you, the housekeeper, how can outsiders open the door?"
"In addition to me, this guy and my colleagues Gen Shang and Tang Tian all have the duplicate key to this apartment!" Hoshima said, waving his hand. "In order to allow the earliest people to come over and prepare the mahjong table and mahjong tiles, our four mahjong colleagues have the keys to my apartment!"
"Wait a minute," just then, a forensic officer who was taking notes suddenly stared in surprise at a camera lying on a pile of notebooks on the floor next to him. "This camera... It seems to be in working condition! β
"What?" All eyes turned to the camera.
"This camera seems to be... Mr. Hoshima pondered for a moment and then suddenly realized. "It's the camera that Mr. Furumura used to record his diary."
"Let's see if the camera is catching anything!" Officer Twilight hurriedly asked for a pair of gloves from the forensic officer, put them on, walked over quickly, and picked up the camera. "Where's the conversion line? Hurry up and connect the TV to this camera and see if the camera captures any valuable data! β
Chiba looked at the camera's switch button β it was a power button on the control wheel, and the shutter button was a very common metal button stuffed into a bobbin β and she had to press it to take a picture.
With the camera lying down just now, it is impossible to accidentally touch the shutter button to start shooting... If it weren't for Mr. Furumura forgetting to stop recording, the murderer deliberately turned on the camera...
However, Mr. Furumura must have been recording his diary three to four hours ago, and if that were the case, it would have been impossible for the camera to capture useful clues - the poor camera storage capacity could last until 9 o'clock at most, let alone after 10:30 a.m. when the murder occurred.
Just then, the video started playing on the TV.
At the beginning, it was the scene where Mr. Furumura cheered himself up - exactly the same as the memory turned out by the Thousand Feathers auxiliary unit. (The secondary unit is very comprehensive for very short term memories, and over time it will delete relatively unimportant scenes to make room, eventually refining the memories to the point where they can be stored within the limits of memory capacity for a long time.) Because Chiba slept halfway, Furumura videotaped himself about 50 minutes ago, and although the memory refinement at this point in time was not enough to remember Mr. Furumura's demeanor and tone when he spoke, it was still enough to record the specific content of Mr. Furumura's words. οΌ
Then, this part of the video ends, and the next one begins.
The video was silent at first, but the silence was shattered by a sudden scream.
"Huh." Chiba chuckled.
Now he can confirm that the camera was deliberately turned on by the murderer.
As for the purpose, I'm afraid it's to blame Hoshima.
As for the identity of the Blamer ... Of course, there are two people who have the key, are still alive, and they are not called Hoshima anymore.
