Stay away from Conan

Chapter 205 I don’t remember

Seeing the old man lying in a pool of blood, the crowd at the banquet began to commotion. Gao Yuan, who was guarding the door to prevent anyone from leaving, felt a little powerless at first when faced with a group of guests who were planning to leave the scene.

Fortunately, there were not too many people in the banquet hall, and police officer Ginzo Nakamori was on hand to maintain the scene. Soon, the order at the scene was under control.

After receiving the alarm, Officer Megure immediately led his team to the scene, and the order at the scene was taken over by the criminal police from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The deceased's name was Hisaku Ohashi, and he was the president of the Ohashi Foundation. Judging from the situation at the scene, he should have died as a result of gunfire."

After a brief inquiry, Officer Takagi Wataru began to report the case to Officer Megure.

"According to the testimonies of the guests at the scene, the deceased was preparing to hold a charity auction in this villa today. Just when the auction started, the deceased asked the service staff at the venue to turn off all the lights in the banquet hall, and then in this completely A gunshot rang out in the dim banquet hall, and when the lights were turned on again, the deceased had been shot to death. "

"In other words, someone took advantage of the lights to go out and shot President Ohashi?"

Officer Megure concluded, "So, was the murder weapon found?"

"found it."

Takagi Wataru said, "After the gunfire, the window of the banquet hall was broken from the inside, and after searching the corresponding lawn outside the window, a pistol and a night-vision goggle were found."

"A pistol and night vision goggles? In other words, the murderer chose to throw the murder weapon directly out of the window?"

Officer Megure said.

"Well, that's how it should be."

Takagi Wataru said.

"Then it looks like that..."

"The murderer should still be at the banquet."

Interrupting Officer Megure's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward and said.

"Oh! Brother Akechi! You are here too!"

Seeing Gao Yuan, Officer Memu said with some surprise.

"Yes, Officer Megure."

Gao Yuan said, "When the gunfire rang out, I stood at the door. I can confirm that no one left the scene after the incident."

"That'll be easy!"

Hearing this, Officer Megure said happily, "As long as everyone present is tested for gun smoke reaction, we can know who fired the gun!"

Therefore, Officer Megure ordered the police officers to prepare to test the smoke reaction of everyone present.

"Thanks to you, brother Mingzhi, it seems that this case will be solved soon."

Officer Megure smiled.

"Where, the main thing is that Officer Zhongmori is on site to maintain order, otherwise I would not be able to stabilize so many guests."

Gao Yuan said.

Next, everyone is waiting for the police to start testing for gun smoke reaction. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kuroba Kaito quietly walked behind Gao Yuan, turned his back, and said to Gao Yuan in a very small voice:

"Mr. Mingzhi, it seems that today's trip is in vain."

"Is there no way to investigate the origin of that diamond?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan did not look back and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"That diamond is said to be the private collection of President Ohashi. Only President Ohashi knows its origin. Now that he is dead, I am afraid there is no way to know the details."

After Kuroba Kaito replied, he left as if nothing happened.

Gao Yuan didn't feel much helpless about this. After all, there was no need for him to investigate this matter.

Soon, the results of the gun smoke reaction test for everyone came out - at the scene, gun smoke reaction was detected on two people, namely the girl and the middle-aged man who were standing next to Ohashi Hisaku at the time.

"In other words, the murderer is among the two of you!"

After getting the test results, Officer Megure looked at the two people with serious eyes.

"Hey! Are you kidding! How could I kill my grandfather!"

Facing Officer Megure's questioning, the girl couldn't help but said angrily.

"It's unfair, police officer! I was just invited by President Ohashi to preside over the auction. There is really no reason to kill President Ohashi!"

The middle-aged man said slightly panicked.

"However, judging from the results of the smoke reaction..."

"They are unlikely to be murderers."

Officer Megure, who looked at the two people with serious eyes, was suddenly interrupted by Gao Yuan. This made Officer Megure a little embarrassed and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Mingzhi, why do you say that they are unlikely to be the murderers? The gun smoke reaction is only present in them! How do you explain this?"

"Just because both of them had gun smoke reactions, they are unlikely to be the murderers."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Before the lights went out, the two of them were standing next to the deceased. After the lights came on again, their standing positions did not change. Therefore, the smoke reaction on the two of them can only mean that the murderer fired at that time. The location was very close to them, which means that the murderer stood next to the deceased and fired the gun. If you don’t believe it, you should test the deceased and there should be gun smoke reaction on the deceased.”

"But if you put it this way, wouldn't their suspicions become even greater?"

Officer Megure said doubtfully, "Just because the murderer fired the gun next to the deceased, then the two people standing next to the deceased are the biggest suspects!"

"Because of the location of the window."

Faced with Officer Memu's doubts, Gao Yuan felt a little helpless and said, "The broken window was located at the entrance of the banquet hall, and the position where the deceased was standing was at the innermost part of the banquet hall. The distance between them was nearly thirty meters. "

"What's going on?"

Officer Megure was still puzzled.

"The window was broken from inside the house, and the murder weapon was found on the lawn directly opposite the window. In other words, after the murder, the murderer walked to this window, broke the window, and threw the murder weapon."

Gao Yuan said, "According to the smoke reaction, the murderer fired the gun next to the deceased, which means that after committing the murder, the murderer ran from the innermost part of the banquet hall where the deceased was to the window at the entrance of the banquet hall and put the murder weapon Throw it out. There were no lights in the banquet hall at that time, and the distance was nearly thirty meters. Even if the murderer could use the night vision goggles to run from the deceased to the window, then after throwing the night vision goggles out of the window, the murderer would How to run back?"

Having said this, Officer Memu finally understood what Gao Yuan meant.

"What's more, after hearing the sound of the window being broken, the service staff immediately turned on the lights in the banquet hall. This means that after the murderer threw the murder weapon out of the window, there was not much time to move in the banquet hall."

Gao Yuan said, "In other words, the murderer should be among the guests who were still standing near the window after the lights were turned on. And the two people who have been standing next to the deceased cannot be the murderer!"

"That's it! How can we be the murderers!"

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, the girl couldn't help but say, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's it! As expected of you, brother Mingzhi!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's reasoning, Officer Memu admired sincerely, then changed the subject and asked: "So, who were standing near the window at that time? You were guarding the entrance at the time, you should have seen it!"

"I do not remember!"

Gao Yuan said with a helpless and embarrassed smile.
