Case Closed: The Strongest Uncle!

Chapter 24: Budokai Murder Case.

Eri Kisaki's face was blushing, she first tasted this wonderful taste, and naturally, she was reluctant to separate from Kogoro: "Yukiko, don't think Kogoro so badly, besides, we are not on the same way."

"It's okay, I just happened to have something I want to tell you, Eri." Yukiko, without waiting for Eri's answer, pulled her into the Bentley car beside them, leaving Kogoro Mouri alone in the cold wind.

The window of the car was rolled down, and Yukiko's face was shown smiling brightly: "Mouri-kun, see you at Yonehua University tomorrow morning. Eri and I will definitely come and cheer for you."

Eri on the side was full of apologetic eyes. After saying that, the Bentley drove far away. Kogoro Mouri sighed and walked towards his home.

The place where Kogoro Mouri lives is the same as the place he lived in twenty years later. It is still a three-story building, but now it has not become a cafe or office. Instead, it is rented out as a warehouse. Mouri is alone. Still live on the third floor.

The houses on the side are very short, unlike tall buildings twenty years later.

There was a pawn shop near the house, and a woman and a little girl ran out of the pawnshop in panic.

"Mrs Nishimoto."

Behind him, the owner of the pawnshop was chasing after them, Yosuke Kirihara, a middle-aged greasy man with a Mediterranean haircut, with a rather ugly face and a corrupting atmosphere.

Kogoro Mouri hates this neighbour. He once saw this guy secretly watch some child pornography movies alone, and often molested some little girls on the side of the road with crude language.

Yosuke Kirahara chased after them for a while but in the end, stopped chasing. He turned back to the pawnshop, and the sound of fighting and quarrelling came from the pawnshop.

Maori saw a mother and daughter going away, and could vaguely see the little girl turning her head, her cat-like eyes.

Mouri sighed. This world is difficult, let alone a single woman raising a child. Mrs Nishimoto is a poor woman and can only earn meagre living expenses by selling her body.

The small episode did not affect Kogoro too much. Because in his memory, this middle-aged greasy pawnshop owner should somehow die in an abandoned building, and his family will soon disappear in Kogoro's sight.

Kogoro didn't want to save this middle-aged greasy man at all. This kind of person would better die early. He returned to the room on the third floor and began to meditate on the guidance technique, preparing for the game tomorrow.

What exactly is a backtracking task the system gave him? He is still clueless about it.

The next morning, Kogoro Mouri woke up very early. The more he practised this guiding technique, the better his spirit. Now it only takes four hours to sleep to meet Kogoro Mouri's consumption for a whole day.

He had an appointment with Yukiko and Eri, and they had gathered at the entrance of Yonehua University early on.

But when the three of them entered Yonehua University, the sound of a police car suddenly rang through their ears. Not long after, a few police cars drove into the university. A familiar little fat man came out, who was twenty years younger. 

It's Police Officer Megure.

Police Officer Megure was only slightly fat when he was young, not as big as he was later, but he has a long history of wearing yellow clothes, and his image is not much different from twenty years later, but the younger version is more capable.

"Is the crime scene inside the gym?"

When a case appeared, Mouri Kogoro hurried into the gymnasium, followed by Eri and Yukiko.

Megure on the side yelled: "Hey, hey, who are you? Don't enter the crime scene, don't destroy the scene!"

The three entered the gymnasium. As expected, a corpse appeared on the competition stage in the middle of the stadium. It's the Taekwondo Champion Kang Shin Chul, and he had a sword in his waist that looked like a sacrifice. He died tragically on the competition stage, and the blood gathered underneath. The pool of blood has already dried up.

Next to the corpse is Kudo Yusaku and Hattori Heizo, wearing white gloves, were squatting on the ground to survey the scene. When Kogoro saw the two, he seemed to see Kudo Shinichi and Heiji image in a trance.

"Main Mission: Detective Showdown Two-Top One: Kang Shin Chul from Seoul died at the scene, and the murderer was hidden among the people present. Please note that there are four young people with strong reasoning skills, namely Yusaku Kudo, Hattori Heizo, Toyama Ginjiro, and Eri Kisaki, please find out the truth faster than anyone present. Reward 5000 points and a lottery draw."

Hearing this task, Kogoro's mouth curled up with a smile, interesting.

----

Police Officer Megure chased after him and shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing so close to the corpse?"

"Judging from the degree of blood coagulation, this guy named Kang Shin Chul should have died between two o'clock and three o'clock in the morning last night. The deceased had traces of fighting in his body and it can be seen that he received many attacks. The fatal wound was a sword to commit suicide by a caesarean section." Yusaku Kudo reasoned as he hoisted his glasses and stood up: "I'm a Mystery Writer, Kudo Yusaku. I have a lot of experience in reasoning and can assist police officers in handling cases."

"With Kang Shin Chul sitting in such a dignified posture before his death, although his face is hideous, but his whole body is neat and tidy, it is enough to prove that the deceased was stunned first, and then he was put on a Bushido sacrifice. It can be seen that the murderer is far more powerful than the deceased. But he is a taekwondo champion. From this point of view, the suspicion of participating in the martial arts competition this time should be the heaviest."

Ginjiro Toyama also stood up: "I and Hattori Heizo are seniors from the Osaka Police Academy, also a contestant in this martial arts competition."

"Not only that, this sword in Kang Shin Chul's hand is not small. If I'm not mistaken, it should be an indispensable weapon for the swordsman of Miyamoto's martial arts museum. If I remember correctly, Shintake Miyamoto-kun, it's your sword right?" Hattori Heizo has studied swords and instantly revealed the origin of the weapon.

Shintake Miyamoto's complexion changed instantly, and sweat dripped down: "It's not me, it's not me."

After that, he wanted to run out of the stadium, but before he could run, he suddenly tumbled for an unknown reason, losing his centre of gravity. After that, he fell on the concrete floor, wailing.

Officer Megure quickly ordered the left and right officers to subdue Miyamoto Shintake.

Looking at the three standing up Hattori Heizo, Toyama Ginjiro, and Kudo Yusaku, Megure opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

The three of them stood up, their eyes crossed, and they fought each other.

Mouri looked at the reasoning of these three people, and they were indeed masters. Erik looked at this scene with her glasses in her hand, but Yukiko looked excited: "Wow, wow, Kogoro, it's a reasoning duel, hey, how can you, an idiot with a muscle brain understand this kind of thing."

When Kogoro heard this, his head trembled with anger and his face was ugly as fuck and couldn't help but complain in his stomach.

What do you mean a fool with a muscle brain?

However, when he watched these three people begin to discover something, Kogoro's sense of crisis gradually developed, he hurried to the direction of the martial arts field, wanting to find clues.

"Hey, hey, who are you? You just can't go in." Megure grabbed Kogoro.

"Why can't I if they can get in?"

"One of them is good at reasoning, and the two reserve police officers are helpful to the case.

What about you? you should just wait outside." Megure had a hot temper when he was young, and pushed Kogoro to the waiting crowd.

"Damn it." If it wasn't for more than ten years of friendship they have in his mind, Kogoro would have wanted to get an unlucky charm to Megure.

As a result, he can only start from other directions.

The police officer began to inquire and investigate, and Kogoro could only listen to some fragments of information outside.

The person who discovered the murder was the referee Kobayashi of this martial arts competition. When he opened the door in the morning, he found the body as soon as he came in and reported the crime immediately.

Saying that Miyamoto Shintake was the murderer, Kogoro Mouri didn't quite believe it. The guy's long sword was broken, and most of his skills were lost. So how can he be Kang Shin Chul's opponent? Also, the unlucky charm has not yet ended so It's not realistic.

If it were not Miyamoto Shintake, then the murderer would be among the remaining four. Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro would later achieve the status of high-level police officers, and they would not look like criminal suspects. 

So only Ogi Saddle or Kurobaichi could commit a crime.

No, there was another person, Kogoro turned his head and looked at referee Kobayashi. 

As a referee, he has the ability to stop both sides of the competition at any time, and he is also a highly prestigious referee specially invited by the Suzuki Consortium. He is proficient in multiple martial arts. Although he seems to be old, he may also commit crimes.

Kogoro Mouri just thought of this, and Yusaku Kudo, who had finished talking with the university staff, walked over: "The classmate who arranged your rest just said that Referee Kobayashi also lived at the university last night. I wonder if it is true?"

Kobayashi frowned but still answered, "Yes, it was very late after I arranged everything yesterday, and I thought about coming to the gym today, so I didn't leave and stayed."

Yusaku Kudo continued: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Kobayashi is proficient in many techniques, and you had a battle with Kang Shin Chul's father, Mr. Can't Shin Chel twelve years ago, and was seriously injured. And you were recuperating for half a year due to it. Is it true?"

The referee Kobayashi brows deeper and hesitates for a moment before admitting it.

Yusako frowned and took another step.

Seeing this situation, Yukiko couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect this guy who looks so look dumb and stupid, to be so cunning."

Kobayashi argued when he heard it: "But that's a thing of the past. No matter how much I hate that guy, I won't attack my opponent's son, let alone cause death."
