Chapter 1063
"Little brother," Kogoro Mouri suddenly asked the child, "what was strange about that foreign woman?"
"Because she asked me a lot of strange questions,"
The child replied: "She said, 'Did you really see that accident?', 'Did you see the face of the person who had the accident?', and 'Did you tell your father about this?' things like that..."
"And then?" Kogoro Mouri asked with concern, "How did you answer?"
"I just said I had told Mom a little bit, and then that woman laughed. It must be that woman who killed Mom!!"
"Enough, Toshi! Stop talking nonsense!" Funamoto Tatsuhito stopped his son.
"But Dad..."
"Inspector," Uncle Mouri was very concerned about the child's words, "if that's the case, that foreign woman is very suspicious; the key is, what exactly is the accident she mentioned?"
"Actually, we also heard about that accident from this child when we arrived."
Megure looked at the child talking to Funamoto Tatsuhito and shook his head, "But after going to the scene to investigate, no other witnesses were found, and there were no traces of any accident at the scene."
"Then what this child said..."
"It's probably because the trauma of his mother's death led to memory confusion, mixing up scenes seen in movies or on TV with real memories; there have been such cases before."
Megure sighed: "And if it were to kill to silence someone because of that accident, this child who saw the accident scene should also have been killed; besides..."
"I heard that the murdered mistress went out to take out the trash 4 times a week and would go jogging in the morning; if it were a shooting, they should have aimed for these times, so why would they take the risk of sneaking into the mistress's room on the second floor to lie in wait for her to return?"
Everyone went upstairs to check the room where the incident occurred.
"A month ago, Master went fishing with colleagues from the company and accidentally fell off a rock,"
The maid said while leading the way and talking to Uncle Mouri, "He has been in a wheelchair for a month, and the doctor said the cast can be removed in another half month."
"Then is Master's room on the first floor?"
"No, it's on the second floor, next to the mistress's room. When Master wants to go upstairs, he holds onto my shoulder to walk up the stairs, and then I carry the wheelchair upstairs."
"Then you must have a hard time doing it alone."
