Chapter 221 Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case part 6

"The person has been found, down there."

Aizen pointed to the bottom of the balcony. Mitsuaki Nagato was lying on the ground at this moment, motionless, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.

"Ahhh!!"

Yasue Nagato looked unbelievable and very sad. She turned around and ran away.

Aizen, Kogoro Mouri and Conan also ran out. Kogoro Mouri asked the housekeeper to call the police, while Aizen asked Ran Mouri and the other two to go to Dosan Nagato's room.

Nagato Mitsukoshi was dead, which Kogoro Mouri had confirmed after going over to see him. However, because the police had not arrived yet, no one was allowed to go over, even the grieving Yasue Nagato was stopped by everyone.

 Nearly half an hour later, Megure came here with Sato Miwako and others.

Officer Megure arrived, and Mouri Kogoro told the story from beginning to end.

After listening, Megure said: "In this case, the murderer is Mr. Nagato Hideomi, the son of Chairman Nagato, isn't that right?"

"No, the murderer can't be Mr. Hideomi."

Miyuki Hyuga on the side immediately refuted and said, "I think there must be some reason for this."

"No matter what the reason is, you can't kill my light."

Yasue Nagato, who was kneeling in front of Mitsuaki Nagato's body and crying, cried: "Give it back to me, give me my light back." As she said, she covered her face and cried, extremely sad.

"I believe Mr. Hideomi is not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

Miyuki Hyuga explained, and then said: "Besides, the person we saw at that time was not necessarily Hideomi."

"That's true."

Hattori Heiji nodded and said: "The person we saw just had a bandage on his face."

"Bandage?"

Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro replied: "Mr. Hideomi's face was disfigured because of the fire, and he has been wrapped in bandages all the time."

Sato Miwako squatted on the ground and looked at the corpse, and said to Aizen who was also squatting opposite: "Aizen, what do you think?"

Aizen: "When everyone was on the balcony upstairs, the murderer looked up and then went back into the room. If the murderer is really Mr. Nagato Hideomi, why did he do this? In my opinion, this is very likely that the murderer did this on purpose, just to let us see his face."

Megure Jusan also heard what Aizen said, and asked Mouri Kogoro: "Brother Mouri, is this true?"

Mouri Kogoro thought for a while and said: "It seems to be true."

Megure nodded and asked Kuranosuke Take: "So, where is Mr. Hideomi now?" 

Kuranosuke Take said: "We don't know either. In fact, before the incident happened, we were looking for the young master. Young Master Mitsuaki had an accident when he was looking for the young master."

Megure said: "Anyway, the murder weapon and bandages have been found. As long as we take them back for a test, we will know whether the murderer is Mr. Hideomi."

"Inspector, look here."

Sato Miwako picked up Nagato Mitsuko's right hand and said, "There is an obvious scar on the back of the deceased's right hand. It does n't look like it was caused by a knife." 

Mouri Kogoro said indifferently, "It is very likely that Mr. Mitsuko was accidentally scratched when he fell."

Mouri Kogoro didn't care, but Conan and Hattori Heiji noticed it. They knew very well that sometimes the clues were in such coincidences. 

Aizen didn't say anything when he saw it. He could see that it was stabbed with something, but he didn't want to say it. Anyway, Conan and Hattori Heiji would guess it, so he didn't need to say anything. 

Aizen stood up and said to Megure, "Officer Megure, the top priority now is to find Mr. Nagato Hideomi. If the murderer is not Mr. Nagato Hideomi, maybe Nagato Hideomi is in danger."

"No way?"

Miyuki Hyuga said worriedly. She knew that this possibility was not impossible.

Megure nodded to show that he understood. He also knew this truth, and immediately said to Sato Miwako: "Sato-kun, go and arrange for someone to find Mr. Hideomi. Make sure to find him."

"Yes!"

Sato Miwako responded, and then walked away.

The group did not stay at the corpse for long, but went upstairs to Mitsuaki Nagato's bedroom. 

Arriving at the room, Megure said to Mouri Kogoro: "Mouri, brother, please tell me where everyone who was present at the time was."

"Yes, Inspector!"

Mouri Kogoro responded, and said: "At that time, there were seven of us in the room: me, Aizen, Conan, Hattori, the butler Kuranosuke, Miss Yasue Nagato, and Miss Hyuga. When we ran out of the room, Ran and her two friends also met them in the corridor."

Hearing this, Megure looked at Nobuko Nagato and said: "In that case, only Miss Nobuko Nagato was missing at that time?"

Nobuko Nagato snorted: "At that time, I was in a bad mood, so I stayed in the room drinking alone."

Megure asked: "Are you alone?"

Nobuko Nagato knew what he meant, looked at him and said: "Yes, it was me alone, but I also called my friend to complain. It's just that because I drank too much, I don't remember who I called at the time."

Then, Nobuko Nagato asked very seriously: "Is this true? Did Hideomi really kill Mitsuaki?"

"This..."

Megure shook his head and said, "Although this possibility is not small, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone else is the murderer. If the murderer is someone else, then Mr. Hideomi is in danger. I have already asked someone to find Mr. Hideomi. We will know everything after we find Mr. Hideomi."

"We must find Hideomi."

Nobuko Nagato said with a somewhat unhappy expression. After all, Nagato Hideomi is her biological brother. She still cares about this biological brother. She doesn't want him to be a murderer, nor does she want him to be in danger.

Megure nodded and said, "I have asked someone to look for him. I believe there will be results soon."

"It's all this woman's fault!"

Nobuko Nagato turned to look at Miyuki Hyuga and said, "Hideomi was always fine, but after what happened twenty years ago, not only did his relationship with Mitsuaki deteriorate, but his entire person was ruined."

"That incident?"

Megure asked curiously.
