Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Black Pot Emperor

Well, needless to say, this reward is Senichi's attention.

It seems like a composition contest in elementary school, the source of inspiration comes from this.

On how to open a "part-time job" for Senichi in a legitimate way, Haruka Getsumei finally accepted Senichi's suggestion, and finally came up with this activity for the Metropolitan Police Department.

Of course, this is also a very good event. With Senichi's works in the lineup, even if other works collapse, they will not be afraid. It would be even better if there were a few good works.

Plan before you move and be in an invincible position.

In some respects, Senichi's handling of affairs is very similar to that of Haruka Getsumei. He must think carefully before doing things.

It is precisely because of this that the two get along very happily as partners.

Senichi got a part-time job, and the manuscript fee was quite high. Senichi was extremely satisfied with the extra income.

And what I have to do is the same as usual. At most, I will report some explosive cases to Haruka Getsumei in detail and let her report it.

After signing up for novels here, Senichi can wait patiently.

Senichi was not idle during his rare free time. He often went to the training ground to fight with his colleagues to strengthen his hand-to-hand combat skills.

However, the peaceful daily life always passed by quickly. After the part-time job was settled, a case immediately broke this tranquility.

Early the next morning, with the call from the police station, Senichi got out of bed and drove to the scene of the crime in a police car.

——Sorting out the crime scene——

"The name of the deceased is Masuko Tsuchiya, aged forty-two, and the daughter-in-law of the owner of this house, Kikuemon."

At this moment, Senichi will inform Police Officer Megure of the basic situation after the investigation.

"Well..." Police Officer Megure pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that you all stayed in the hall next to this warehouse before the body was discovered?"

"Well, we held a banquet last night and played late. The young lady went back to sleep first, and I sent her back to the room."

The one who spoke was Arita Yoshihiko, with short hair and long, narrow eyes, with a vicious look.

"I went to call her when I got up in the morning, but I found no one in the room." Kaoru Otani, a man with freckles on his face, said weakly: "I thought the young lady had already woken up."

"At that time, we were about to find the young lady, when we heard a loud noise from the warehouse, as if something had broken."

Seto Ryuichi, who had a ponytail, dropped his tone when he said this, "When we ran over, we saw...Young Madam had hanged herself..."

According to the questioning, the three people who talked about the problem one after another were all Kikuemon's apprentices.

As for their teacher, Kikuemon, he is a national treasure-level pottery master.

Don't ask why the apprentice lives in the teacher's house. It's a normal phenomenon in Japan. After worshiping the teacher, they will eat and live in the teacher's house during the learning period.

It's normal to take care of the teacher until their death.

Just like the ancient master is like a father, the apprentice who inherits the mantle in the circle is even more orthodox than his own son, and is more qualified to inherit the master's connections.

Of course, this situation is when the son did not inherit his father's business, otherwise the young head of the family must be his own son, there is no need to think about it.

"Then the sound you are talking about should come from this clay pot that is broken on the ground."

After listening to the three people's narration, Officer Megure looked at the scattered debris on the ground, "It looks like it was used to step on with the feet when she was hanged, and then she kicked it down when she was struggling... But why does it look like a mess?"

"Sorry officer, we stepped on these fragments when we pulled down the body before." Arita Yoshihiko apologized.

"When we arrived, the young lady's body was still shaking, and her body was still warm. She may have been hanged not long ago. If she was pulled down immediately, she might be saved..."

Kaoru Otani explained and pointed to the child next to the corpse, "That's what the younger brother said, so we..."

"Hey Hey hey!!!"

Police Officer Megure followed his fingers, but found a child squatting next to Senichi who was observing the corpse at some point, and couldn't help but yell.

"Senichi-kun, how could you let the child look at the corpse with you!?" Police Officer Megure picked up Conan and said helplessly.

"However, what surprised me even more is that...you actually lived here by such a coincidence...and you were still snoring when the crime happened..."

Police Officer Megure looked to the side in a speechless sway, and Mouri , who had just sobered up, shouted, "Why is it you again! Mouri!"

"Don't shout so loudly, I'm having a hangover and a headache right now." Mouri Kogoro stared at the dark circles under his eyes and covered his ears, looking listless.

"Are you kidding!! Every time you are there, there will be a murder case!! Do you know that!!"

Police officer Megure saw Mouri Kogoro's sloppy appearance, and instantly turned into a violent old man and roared, which made Mouri Kogoro wake up instantly, and said in a daze, "Hold... sorry..."

As for Senichi on the side, he already understood everything when he saw Conan, so he was extremely calm.

This kind of thing, just get used to it, and Mouri Kogoro is the "black pot emperor", specially used to take the blame for Conan.

But there's nothing pitiful about it. It's a fair deal to trade your neck for reputation.

Taking advantage of the time when Police Officer Megure taught Mouri Kogoro a lesson, Senichi had already surveyed the surrounding environment.

It's a very simple square warehouse. Except for the gate, there are cabinets on the other three walls, which are used to display various fired pottery works.

On the other hand, after the farce ended, Kogoro Mouri finally recovered from his hangover and began to explain why he stayed here.

Because the owner of the house, Kikuemon, is a fan of Kogoro Mouri, he invited the Mouri family to visit him conveniently, and even selected a cup worth tens of millions.

Of course, according to Conan, although everyone thinks that Mouri Kogoro has a keen eye, it is actually just luck.

And there was an episode yesterday. When Kikuemon asked his daughter-in-law to pick up the "Feng Shui Circle", she slipped and fell and broke it.

However, although Kikuemon was a little disappointed, he didn't blame his daughter-in-law, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and lively again at the banquet.

And after listening to the ins and outs, the staff from the forensics department had already inspected the room.

"Police officer, there are no traces of people climbing on the beams."

"I see."

Police Officer Megure looked at the ladder placed beside the cabinet, and visually measured the length, "The height of this ladder is about the same as a bookcase, and it is impossible to touch the beams of the house.

In that case, something should be tied to the end of the rope, and then thrown over the beam.

And there are so many items that can be tied here. "

"But these are very precious works of art, so it's not appropriate to use them." Conan picked up a pottery and blatantly opened the questioning mode.
