LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 43
"It's only about three kilometers from here to the Washington Zoo, and it only takes half an hour by car. I think Mr. Takahashi Shunshichi went to kill Kobayashi Shogo at that time."
This statement does make sense, and the investigating police chief also strongly suspected Takahashi Shunshichi, who cried out that he was wronged:
"I really helped the lost children find their parents! If you don't believe me, you can ask the zoo staff, they can testify for me."
"Did it really take you that long to find someone?" Maori Kogoro asked in a faint tone.
"What else?" Takahashi Shunshichi answered innocently, and then he described in detail the specific process of his search, including how he found the lost child and some things he encountered along the way. It sounds like there are no flaws.
Maori Kogoro frowned, while the investigating police chief scratched his head, and both of them fell into deep thought.
"Report to the investigating police chief, the hotel's surveillance has been retrieved." A young police officer ran over with sweat all over his head, holding a black hard drive in his hand, and reported to the investigating police chief breathlessly.
The investigating police officer nodded and motioned him to play the surveillance footage. The police officer turned on the computer, imported the surveillance footage and played it, and adjusted the speed.
In order to protect the privacy of guests, this hotel only has surveillance cameras in the lobby, but fortunately, the hotel entrance was also filmed, so that people can see how they enter and leave the hotel.
The investigating police officer watched everyone who entered and left the hotel carefully.
At this moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly came to the investigating police officer, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if he wanted to find some clues from the surveillance. As time went on, he got closer and closer, even blocking the investigating police officer's sight.
The investigating police officer finally couldn't help but get angry: "I'm talking to you, can you consciously step aside! You are now hindering our investigation, and you, little guy, don't be so curious."
Kitagawa Anshu quickly hugged Conan away and apologized to the investigating police officer: "Sorry, officer, he is more addicted to detective games."
Conan was helpless: "I just want to help." But he still stood aside obediently.
Maori Kogoro moved aside a few steps and said: "Oh, Mr. Police, I'm really sorry just now. I will definitely not disturb you next time. But after you finish watching the surveillance, can you let me watch it again? Maybe I can find some clues." Maori Kogoro also talked about his glorious deeds in helping the police solve cases in the past. The investigating police officer hesitated for a moment and agreed. Twenty minutes later, the investigating police officer finally finished watching the surveillance video at double speed, but did not find the figure of Nakamura Koroku, which means that he did not leave the hotel during that time. The investigating police officer ruled him out as a suspect. Conan and Maori Kogoro came up to watch the video at this time. On the way, the police found the source of the murder weapon. After asking the boss, they learned that the person who bought the knife was a man wearing a mask and a hat. The exciting good news is that the boss saw the badge on the chest of the buyer. After his description, the police confirmed that the murderer was one of the three suspects, because they were the only ones wearing that badge nearby. "Report, we found some items in the lake that may belong to the deceased." A diver held several documents in his hand, with a badge in the middle.
Kitagawa Anshu thought: It's finally here, it's time for me to show my power!
"Mr. Police, I know who the murderer is."
Because of the previous experience of Maori Kogoro, the investigating superintendent did not pay much attention to his words, but still chose to listen to what he said.
"Before you arrived, Detective Maori found a badge that belonged to the deceased and is currently in the hands of Miss Fujiwara. As for the badge found in the lake, I think it should belong to the murderer. Just look at the number on the back of the badge to confirm the identity of the murderer."
Before the investigating superintendent spoke, Nakamura Koroku couldn't hold it anymore:
"This badge is mine, but I didn't kill him. I don't know why my badge is here. Maybe someone deliberately stole my badge to frame me..."
After hearing this, Maori Kogoro asked: "Then can you tell me what you did after leaving the hotel after seven o'clock?"
After Conan's prompt, Maori Kogoro successfully found evidence of Nakamura Koroku sneaking out in the surveillance.
"I didn't leave the hotel! Aren't there surveillance cameras? The surveillance cameras didn't capture me leaving the hotel, so why would I leave the hotel?"
"No, the surveillance cameras captured you. To avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras, you deliberately walked next to the people moving the heavy goods, so that the heavy goods would block your body, but your feet were still exposed. The shoes you wore were custom-made by the Fujiwara family, and thoseAt that time, Takahashi Shunchi and Matsumoto Eihachi were chatting together, and only you could go out. "
Nakamura Koroku lowered his head, looked at his hands and burst into tears: "I didn't want to kill him..."
[Officer's Daughter (Red Butterfly): A piece of music automatically emerged in my mind.
Dog-headed Detective (Cowboy): Me too [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying]]
The case ended, Fujiwara Chizuru met Conan's eyes, and she said silently: I saw you hinted him, detective.
Conan was a little crazy. He thought that secretly reminding Uncle Mori would reduce her suspicion, but he didn't expect it to be a reverse sprint.
No matter how broken his heart was, he still showed an innocent and lovely smile on the surface.
Forget it, let it be destroyed. She couldn't guess his true identity. It was just a suspicion, and he could still bear it. Anyway, with the difference in their identities, it was a question whether they would meet again in the future.
Maori and his party were already accustomed to the occurrence of the case, so the biggest impression left on them by this case was Fujiwara Chizuru, whose identity and appearance were far superior to ordinary people.
"It may be difficult to see such a beauty in the future, what a pity." Maori Kogoro sighed.
Maori Ran nodded first, and then said dissatisfiedly: "You saw the big star Alice saying the same thing yesterday. When can you change your temper? Obviously, your mother is also beautiful, but you rarely praise her."
Considering Xiaolan's martial arts, Maori Kogoro swallowed what he wanted to say.
Dr. Agasa saw Conan frowning, and the others just didn't notice this, so he whispered: "Shinichi, what's wrong with you? ”
“Doctor, do you think it’s right for me to solve the case through Uncle Maori? As the sleeping Kogoro becomes more and more famous, more and more people will suspect him…”
Dr. Agasa thought for a while, and then suggested: “Why don’t you try to guide him to solve the case by giving him hints in the future?”
“I tried to guide him to find clues today, but Miss Fujiwara saw it. I don’t know what she thinks now.” Conan felt that it was too difficult for him.
Kitagawa Anshu came back to his senses and turned around to see two sad faces: “What happened? Why are they like this?”
Conan didn’t tell Dr. Agasa that Kitagawa knew his true identity, so Dr. Agasa subconsciously made an excuse: “We are struggling with where to go next, ha, ha.”
“Haven’t we planned it? The next place we are going to is Georgetown, where there are many old buildings and shops…”
“Ah, we are struggling with where to go after returning to Japan, after all, Conan and his friends’ vacation is not over yet.”
“I see. "
……
There were only two bodyguards left by Chizuru Fujiwara's side, and they followed her on the left and right.
"Miss, there are people following us from behind." Takahashi Shunchi moved his ears and whispered, "There are probably four or five people."
Matsumoto Eihachi was on guard, looking back vigilantly from time to time.
Chizuru Fujiwara moved her hands, and a swallowtail butterfly flew out of her hands and flew to the back. After a while, the swallowtail butterfly hovered over a man's head. The man changed into a casual uniform and put on a mask, but Chizuru Fujiwara recognized him at a glance - it was the police officer who was "humiliated" two hours ago.
The police officer was seen following them stealthily with four gangsters, obviously with bad intentions.
"Go to a more remote place and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. "Fujiwara Chizuru looked calm, but secretly delighted in her heart: You don't take the road to heaven, but you force your way to hell. In this case, enjoy my skills.
"But Miss, isn't this too risky?"
"Don't forget, I've practiced martial arts. I'll deal with the leader later. Are you okay with the remaining four? Don't tell me you've been so lazy that you can't even beat the minions."
"No problem, Miss. "Matsumoto Eihachi thought that the young lady had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her strength was quite good, so there shouldn't be any problem.
As everyone went further and further away, the police officer finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sent a look to the younger brother next to him, signaling them to rush forward. He himself chose to stand behind and prepare to watch the show.
He couldn't wait to see the look of fear and helplessness on Fujiwara Chizuru's face. He imagined that she might scream, cry or beg for mercy, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.
However, the reality was contrary to his expectations. When his younger brothers rushed towards Fujiwara Chizuru, the arm of one of them was broken by the bodyguard, making a crisp fracture sound. Another younger brother was also knocked to the ground, groaning in pain. All this happened so quickly that the other two younger brothers had no time to react.
The police officer looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. He had expectedThe scene he was waiting for did not happen. On the contrary, his brothers suffered a terrible defeat, but Fujiwara Chizuru remained calm and confident.
At this moment, a bodyguard suddenly turned around and glared at the police officer fiercely. The look was full of threats and warnings, which made him shudder.
"Run... run..." Fear occupied his heart, and this was the only thought in his mind. He turned around and fled the scene without hesitation.
At the same time, Fujiwara Chizuru's mouth corners rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. She noticed that the police officer had turned around and was running away from her.
If the police officer did not turn around and leave, she would have to find a way to get behind him. Fortunately, he was still "knowing" and took the initiative to turn his back.
Her skill is to release the swallowtail butterfly to the enemy. If the enemy is not looking at her, she can fly to the position of the swallowtail butterfly, and then...
A gust of wind blew from behind, and the policeman felt a chill on his back. When he turned his head back with courage, he saw a hideous face with creepy fangs and terrible claws.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. It was too scary.
His mouth was scratched by the claws, and the word "sb" was "written" on his forehead, and then he fainted.
After admiring his masterpiece for a while, Fujiwara Chizuru held his chin: What is this, the red butterfly exploded into the slit-mouthed woman?
Anyone who has seen her like this will have a confused memory for at most one day, at least half a day. Maybe in the eyes of this policeman, it was really the slit-mouthed woman who did it, after all, his mouth was really split.
