Ke Xue Lucky Master, Xiaolan Begs For Mercy At The Beginning - Chapter 218
Itake Karuta rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He kindly provided clues, but he didn’t expect that Inspector Otaki would confront him.
He immediately sneered,”That warehouse is obviously suspicious, but you are so dismissive. Didn’t you send police officers to guard the warehouse?”
“By then, the real murderer will return and erase all clues. Wouldn’t this case become an unsolved case?!”
“The Osaka police have always had so many loopholes in their investigations?”
After hearing this, Inspector Otaki’s face darkened, and he was obviously annoyed, but soon, the annoyance on his face turned into shame: because there was indeed no one guarding the warehouse.
If key evidence was really erased, I’m afraid it would really become an unsolved case.
Itake Karuta continued:
“Ms. Ikebo, I don’t have any control over the police. Why don’t you ask them to investigate the warehouse in detail and do a blood test?”
“As for this Kotegawa Jun, check everything about him carefully.”
After saying that, Itake Karuta didn’t bother to look at Inspector Otaki, and went straight to the swimming pool outside and sat on a lounge chair.
Inspector Otaki looked at Ikenami Shizuka silently, asking for her opinion.
Ikenami Shizuka said calmly:”Although I am not a police officer and cannot give orders,”
“But Mr. Yizhu has his own way of solving cases.”
“I suggest you investigate according to his words, maybe there will be new discoveries. 25”
This was the case last time at Shibata’s house.
Ikenami Shizuka stayed with Itake Karuta almost the whole time, and they only didn’t meet for a few minutes.
As a result, in those few minutes, Itake Karuta had already investigated the case clearly.
Ikenami Shizuka believed that Itake Karuta must have discovered key information that no one else noticed.
Although Ikenami Shizuka is not a police officer, she is the wife of the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.
How could Inspector Otaki dare to neglect the order of his immediate superior’s wife? He quickly divided his team into two groups.
One group went to investigate the warehouse, and the other group carefully checked everything related to Otegawa Shun.
“How could Otegawa Shun be the murderer?”
“Is Itake Karuta confused?” Hattori
Heiji frowned. He had investigated for several hours and never doubted that Otegawa Shun was unable to move the body.
“I also think it’s unlikely, but……”
Conan whispered:”But Itake Karuta’s conclusion is very likely correct.”
Hattori Heiji was a little depressed:”Conan, what do you mean by that? Do you agree with him?”
Conan hurriedly explained:”I, I don’t know why he came to such a conclusion.”
“But he is so confident and high-profile, it is impossible that he is just talking nonsense without any basis, right?”
You know, Itake Karuta’s reputation as a fortune teller is not small now, and many people are jealous of Itake Karuta making so much money every day.
Especially the fortune tellers and divination masters in the same industry, almost all the business in Kanto has been snatched away by Itake Karuta, and now they are waiting for Itake Karuta to make a mistake and make a fool of himself.
For things like this where the reasoning is wrong, maybe they will spend money to buy the news and then spread it widely.
Even if it can’t damage Itake Karuta’s ability as a fortune teller, it will still be regarded as a joke if it is spread out.
“And Heiji, look over there……”
Conan pointed at the key suspect, Kotegawa Shun.
At this time, Kotegawa Shun was standing at the side of the scene, his face slightly nervous.
Hattori Heiji couldn’t help but mutter:”It seems that Itake Karuta identified the murderer through his facial micro-expressions.”
“If you say this……”
Afterwards, Hattori Heiji and Conan inferred the possibility of the case based on the conclusion that Otegawa Jun was the murderer.
How to plan and arrange the murder case, how to move the body quietly……
“Heiji, I have an idea!”
Conan suddenly had an idea,”What if the body was not in the warehouse from the beginning?……”
Hattori Heiji also thought of this possibility,”The body in the warehouse is fake! The deceased has not been moved at all!”
The detective duo suddenly understood everything and ran to Inspector Otaki as if to take credit, ready to explain their reasoning.
At this moment, the people investigating at the warehouse also sent back key information by phone: there was no blood reaction on the floor, which should have been the first crime scene.
And a dummy wearing kendo gear was found in the vaulting horse equipment in the warehouse.
There was paint similar to blood on the dummy.
Another group of police officers who searched for items also made some discoveries. They said that they found a blood-stained towel wrapped in a plastic bag in the gymnasium storage compartment of Otegawa Jun.
“No, it’s not mine!”
Otegawa Shun shouted,”The murderer deliberately framed me!” Hattori Heiji scolded,”Stop pretending, you must be the murderer!”
Then he told all the methods he inferred to commit the crime, proving that Otegawa Shun was the only one among the three suspects who had the time and motive to commit the crime. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
After that, Hattori Heiji looked at Itake Karuta with pride:”Itake, your reasoning logic is still a little lacking”
“After such a long time, he still hasn’t figured out the method of committing the crime.”
Itake Karuta, who was sitting on the recliner, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this:
He never said he wanted to compete with Hattori Heiji in reasoning, and he didn’t want to be a detective.
Kazuha also said unhappily:”I really don’t know what you are so proud of, Heiji!”
“Mr. Itake has long been certain that Otegawa Jun is the murderer”
“The methods you mentioned are not important at all, the murderer will confess it later!”
Kazuha only realized now that Hattori Heiji likes to show off and compete with others.
Didn’t he realize that Itake Karuta’s reasoning and observation skills are far better than his?
“How can this be said to be unimportant?”
Hattori Heiji retorted:”He can’t even explain how he committed the crime, he’s just guessing based on his facial expressions.”
“The murderer will not confess if we only reason to this extent.”
Hattori Heiji remembers that Itake Karuta is a hypnotist and must have studied people’s micro-expressions.
“What are you guessing? Heiji, you are really just looking at the world from a narrow perspective!”
“I don’t know that there are always people better than you and there are always higher levels than you!”[]
Kazuha was also aroused by the anger. Heiji actually dared to question Itake Karuta!
Ikenami Shizuka also frowned slightly: This kid Heiji, does he like to take credit so much?
Just when Kazuha and Heiji, the childhood sweethearts, were about to quarrel, Kotegawa Jun beside them said angrily:”I tell you, don’t always accuse people of murder!”
“What’s that bloody towel? It’s obvious someone is deliberately framing me.”
“You haven’t found any solid evidence at all, so stop accusing everyone of being the murderer!”
As soon as these words came out,
Inspector Otaki, Hattori Heiji, and Conan all frowned.
Even though they had figured out the method of committing the crime, the time of the crime, and the motive for the crime, the most crucial evidence was still not found.
If Otekawa Shun insists that he was framed, there is really nothing we can do to him at the moment.
For a moment, everyone looked at Itake Karuta, wanting to hear how he would confirm the identity of Otekawa Shun as the murderer.
Itake Karuta raised his eyelids,”Inspector Otaki, have you turned over the trash can?”
“”Huh?” Inspector Otaki was a little confused.
Itake Karuta was even more speechless,”Since you sent people to the warehouse, don’t let them sit idle.”
“Search all the trash cans on the upper and lower floors of the warehouse”
“See if there are any paint tubes.”
“Paint tubes are usually smooth, and the murderer’s fingerprints might be left on them.” Otegawa Jun, who had just acted like a victim, turned pale when he heard this.
