Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Boots That Shouldn't Appear
Looking in the direction of Senichi's finger, Officer Megure and the others also had expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces when they saw it.
"Wear boots in the room?"
After seeing the corpse, Miwako Sato, who is also a woman, said suspiciously: "This is too strange, this is a dress for going out."
Yes, there is nothing strange about the corpse in other places, but the boots on the feet are the most unnatural part.
The black boots basically covered the entire calf, and the length was a little below the knee.
It's shoelace style boots. From the instep to the top, the boots have about thirty or forty circles of shoelaces.
It is one of the most common winter boots for women besides zipper style boots.
People change their shoes as soon as they get home, and in Japan, if you live in a Japanese room with tatami mats, you can't even wear slippers.
But at this moment, the boots worn outside appeared on the feet of the deceased in the bedroom, which was too incongruous.
Obviously this is not in line with common sense, and it shouldn't be in the room.
It is precisely because it appears where it shouldn't appear that people unconsciously feel the sense of incongruity and dissonance.
While police officer Megure, Senichi and other officers were thinking about this issue, the staff of the forensics department had already checked the corpse and gave some information.
"The time of death is speculated to be around 6 o'clock last night."
"The cause of death was suffocation caused by being strangled on the neck. Judging from the strangle marks on the neck, the murder weapon should be something like a very thin rope."
After reporting the information, the forensic staff began to collect evidence in the entire room.
However, because the entire room was overwhelmed with clutter, it might be impossible to find the traces left by the criminal.
Of course, because the thin rope on the balcony was similar to the wound marks on the neck of the deceased, there was a possibility of a murder weapon, so the clothesline was inevitably removed.
And the clothes on the balcony were partially wet due to the rain yesterday.
And even with such a meticulous forensic search, the result may not be satisfactory.
Because it has yet to be determined if the culprit actually committed the murder in this room.
After all, the floor at the entrance of the house was very clean, and there was no trace of any footprints, but the deceased died in the house wearing boots.
Even if some traces were wiped out when the first discoverer came to the room, it is impossible that there is not a trace left.
That is to say, although the deceased died in the bedroom wearing boots, it is also possible that the criminal moved the body back into the room after being killed elsewhere.
That is to say, the possibility that someone killed the victim and then carried the body back to the room cannot be ruled out.
If that's the case, it will be troublesome. Afterall, It rained for a while last night, and the external traces may have been wiped out long ago.
After making these initial judgments and collecting information on the case, Senichi began to wait for Kogoro Mouri to bring chibi Conan to solve the case.
After all, although he has memories training experience in the police academy, it is completely new for him to solve the case.
At this time, it is time to learn experience to accelerate growth, and at the same time build up some achievements, and at the same time deepen the relationship with Conan, the god of death, and strive to become an important supporting role to save his life.
After all, Senichi has traveled through time travel, but there are no cheats, therefore he should follow his heart's intuition first.
But after waiting, Senichi didn't see Kogoro Mori and Conan appearing at all.
'It shouldn't be. The stage at the scene of the crime has been set up, but the protagonist didn't come. What the hell?
"Officer Mugure, we found something!"
Just when Senichi was thinking wildly,
Miwako Sato found a key with a keychain on the messy table.
Senichi stepped forward to check and found that inside the key chain, there was a photo of the deceased being very intimate with a man. It seemed that the photo was put into the special key chain.
Officer Megure looked at the key chain and said, "The deceased seems to have a boyfriend."
"And this key doesn't seem to be the spare key for this room."
Senichi found the room key from the staff of the forensics department and compared it, "The key of this room seems to be a model with excellent anti-theft performance."
Perhaps it was because the woman was living alone, so the front end of the key to the deceased's room is rectangular, with irregular small holes on both sides. It is a key with a high safety factor.
Other than that, in general shoe repair or key matching places, there is no lock that can match this type of key, and most of them are equipped with the usual ordinary keys.
"It's possible that it's a relationship dispute, so let's start investigating the testimonies of the surrounding people, and let the forensic department step up to find the identity of the man on the key chain!"
Officer Megure looked at Senichi and Sato and said, "We are still not sure where the crime scene is, So we need to investigate in both directions, don't let go of any clues!
The manpower is a bit tight now, so you two have to work hard, Sato, take care of Senichi-kun, after all, he just came to the Criminal Division not long ago. "
"Don't worry, Officer Megure." Miwako Sato said with a smile, "Besides, Senichi-kun's performance was excellent before."
"Oh, that's right." Apparently, Police Officer Megure also remembered Senichi's work before, and couldn't help but say expectantly: "Senichi, try your best this time too!"
"Hey, don't worry, Officer Megure!" Senichi looked energetic on the surface, but he smiled wryly in his heart.
Previously, it was because he knew the plot, but now he has no impression of this case at all. Even Kogoro Mouri and Conan did not show up. Senichi couldn't help but suspect that this was a case outside of anime.
After all, this is a real world, so it's impossible to just focus on the protagonist. It's normal for other cases to happen outside of the original plot, otherwise there wouldn't be various reforms in police department.
With such a terrifying frequency of crimes, not only has the police system changed, but even private detectives are a very common profession, and their social status is much better than in previous lives. Even famous detectives will be sought after in this world.
Of course, it's only on the surface. Most detectives still make a living by catching mistresses, but it is much better than the situation in the previous life.
However, after Senichi confirmed that the "Grim Reaper" would not come, although he was a little unconfident, the case really needed to be taken care of by him, so the panic in his heart was quickly replaced with energy.
After all, in his previous life, he could only rely on novels and movies to enjoy, but now he can personally participate in it, and he doesn't want to be, just a tool person.
Let's use this case to test how far I can go!
