Chapter 228 Classic Three Select One Script (Ch 228)

“Get out of here!” Mikio Morizono cried bitterly, and tried to rush into the bathroom despite Kogoro’s attempts to stop him. Because the person lying in the bathroom, whose life or death was unknown, was his daughter! She had just returned from abroad today!

Hattori Heiji restrained Morizono Mikio from behind and said, “Uncle, please check the situation.”

Kogoro nodded, took off his shoes, and walked into the bathroom wearing only socks. When he stepped on the bathroom floor, a strange look flashed in his eyes, “Huh? Why is the floor so wet?”

Nonsense, Baihejiang was taking a shower in the bathroom before the accident, and the air was foggy, so how could the floor not be wet!

But the wet that Kogoro was referring to was not the kind of dampness that was caused by water vapor, but the fact that the bathroom tiles seemed to have been completely submerged in water and were all covered with water.

Kogoro walked to the bathtub and reached out to check Yurie’s neck, then turned around and shook his head, “There is no pulse.” In fact, this was expected a long time ago, after all, Yurie was floating face down in the water in the bathtub.

After these words were spoken, Mikio Morizono and Kikuto Morizono cried even harder.

Xiaolan and Heye couldn’t accept it either, “How could this happen? She was having dinner with us just now…how could she…” Although it was the first time the two girls met Baihejiang today, they couldn’t help crying for Baihejiang.

They are all kind girls who can’t bear to see people die.

“Xiaolan, call the police quickly!” Kogoro ordered Xiaolan, and then continued to examine the body.

Xiaolan quickly took on the role of an alarm tool. She wiped her tears, took out her cell phone and called the police.

“Who… who are you?” Morizono Kikuto asked Kogoro, and Morizono Mikio realized that this mustache guy was no ordinary guy. From his appearance, he seemed to be very familiar with criminal investigation.

“Famous detective, Kogoro Mouri.” Kogoro replied.

Kikuto showed a look of shock in his sadness, “Detective… why?” He suddenly looked at Butler Shigematsu in the crowd, because these guests were brought here by Butler Shigematsu.

But Shigematsu didn’t say anything, he just stood there blankly.

Hattori Heiji was about to ask Kogoro when he suddenly saw Conan at his feet, staring at the corpse floating in the bathtub.

“Kid, this is not what you should be watching!” Heiji quickly grabbed Conan and threw him far away, and told Xiaolan and Kazuha to keep an eye on him and not let him get close to the scene. Mochizuki was not very interested in solving the case, so he also walked to the corridor with Xiaolan.

“Mochizuki…Ms. Yurijiang, was she murdered by someone? Or was it an accident?” Xiaolan asked Mochizuki.

Mochizuki replied: “If someone has cardiovascular disease, it is not uncommon to fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen while bathing. But Miss Yurie had an injury on the back of her head, and there was so much blood in the bathtub. Anyway, it’s not just an accident.”

Conan questioned, “The wound on her head could have been caused by hitting the faucet when she was unconscious, right? I saw blood on the faucet in the bathtub, which is evidence that she hit the faucet when she fell.”

Wangyue nodded, “Yes, but it’s not just that. You’re short so you may not have seen it, but Miss Baihejiang’s fingers were also injured. It seems that she scratched them when she was struggling, and even her nails were lifted off.”

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Ye suddenly felt as if their fingertips were also in pain. Just like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard can make people feel uncomfortable, seeing someone accidentally kick their toes or flip their fingernails can also subconsciously make their scalps numb.

Conan remained silent. Because of his height, he indeed did not see Yurie’s hand.

Kogoro also came to the corridor at this time. Heiji and Conan asked him, and the result they got was similar to Mochizuki’s – Yurie’s death was definitely not just an accident.

“Did you open the bathroom door?” Mochizuki asked Xiaolan.

Xiaolan nodded. “We saw that the bathroom door was closed, so we called a few times, but there was no movement inside. I tried to open the door, and then it opened, and then I saw inside…”

Conan felt strange and asked the people in Moriyuan Mansion. He learned that the bathroom door can be opened from the outside with a key, and the key is hung on the wall of the living room. Could it be that someone broke into the bathroom with the key and killed Miss Yurijiang? But why didn’t we hear any noise? This place is not far from the restaurant!

…

Before the police arrived, Kogoro and Heiji worked together to investigate the alibis of everyone in Morizono Mansion, while Mochizuki, Xiaolan and Ye stayed in the corridor to prevent others from entering the scene and causing trouble.

By this time, the servants of Morizono Mansion had already spread the news. Mochizuki heard several maids talking about it, and she expressed her understanding.

Miss Baihe Jiang died mysteriously in the bathroom on the day she returned to China. Is it the loss of conscience or the decline of morality behind all this? Please watch… uh…

Anyway, this kind of weird and bizarre topic is the most irritating to people, and it is impossible to stop it.

Morizono Mikio didn’t care about the gossips of his servants. His daughter was dead, so how could he care about others!

Katagiri was going to continue discussing his daughter’s broken engagement with him after dinner, but now he put it aside for the time being. Human life was at stake, so breaking the engagement had become a secondary matter.

“We have checked all the servants.” Kogoro and Heiji returned to the corridor. Kogoro said, “It was dinner time, and the male and female servants were eating together in the kitchen, so it was easy to check.”

Heiji echoed, “Everyone in the Morizono mansion basically has an alibi, but there are two exceptions. Sakuraba Yuji once left the kitchen and was out for about ten minutes. Butler Shigematsu was never in the kitchen.” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Everyone looked at Shigematsu, but he explained: “The servants cleaned up a lot of fallen leaves in the afternoon, and I burned them when no one was in the courtyard. I did this in the past, and the ashes can be used as fertilizer in the vegetable garden.”

“What about Mr. Sakuraba?”

“I…I just went to the bathroom, then looked around the restaurant, and soon returned to the kitchen to eat.”

Wangyue and the others all knew that he actually went to the restaurant to see the result of the broken engagement, but no one said it out loud. Because no matter what the reason was, he would have ten minutes where no one could prove his innocence.

“There is still one person who doesn’t have an alibi.” Heiji looked at Morizono Kikuto.

Everyone was shocked.

Kikuto was stunned and flew into a rage, “What do you mean? Are you saying that I killed my sister?”

He Ye also shouted: “Impossible? That’s his sister.”

Heiji hurriedly explained with a smile, “No, no, Mr. Kikuto, don’t be angry. I didn’t say you were the murderer. What I meant was that you don’t have an alibi, because you went to the bathroom after your sister left, and it took quite a while.”

Kikuto was very dissatisfied with this, but he could not refute it because it was a fact that he left halfway.

…

The police arrived at the scene soon. Being in Tokyo, the team was led by the old acquaintance Inspector Megure.

After some familiar greetings, the police launched an investigation.

The forensic personnel wanted to examine the body, but it was not convenient to examine it while it was soaked in water. The first thing they had to do was to take Baihejiang’s body out of the bathtub and then put it on the ground. Out of humanitarian considerations, the forensic personnel also covered her with a cloth, after all, she was not wearing anything at all.

At present, forensic personnel have determined that she died of drowning.

“Hmm? What is this?” When checking the bathtub, the forensic officer took out a pen from it. Because the water in the bathtub was dyed red by blood and there was a corpse blocking it, no one noticed the pen at first.
