Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 324: The Challenge from the Clues of the Case

In the rest area of ​​the hospital lobby, Kaori Nakahara found a seat by the window and sat down. There were no people around, and it seemed very quiet.

Gaocheng answered the call from police officer Takagi, and when he came back, he saw that Kaga had already started questioning. It seemed that it was just an ordinary conversation, but the question was still very sensitive.

"We are childhood sweethearts who grew up together in the shelter." Kaori Nakahara sat awkwardly across the sofa with her legs crossed.

"After leaving the shelter, you worked in a nursing home, and Mr. Yashima went to work in a construction company, right?"

"Well, but the company where Fuyuki worked closed down three years ago. He said he wanted to work in Tokyo, so I came with him."

"The last text message Mr. Yashima sent was for you. It was after six o'clock last night," Kaga said, showing the photo of the text message on his mobile phone. "Is Mr. Yashima looking for a job?"

Kaori Nakahara lowered her head: "He has been looking for him since he was fired from the factory half a year ago..."

"Factory? May I ask which factory it is?"

"This... I don't know too well, I only know that it is a factory that produces parts, it seems to be called Jintian or Jinben or something..."

"Goldstone metal?"

"Yes, that's the one."

"Do you know where he went for the interview yesterday?"

"I don't know, I didn't listen to him."

"Mr. Yashima had a car accident at 9:30 last night. Before that, he talked to you on the phone, right? What did you say?" Kaga continued to ask.

"What did you say..." Kaori Nakahara thought about it for a moment, opened her mouth, suddenly thought of something and looked away, "I'll go home right away, sorry for being so late... that's all."

"Is that really the only way?" Kaga quietly looked at Kaori Nakahara.

"That," Kaori Nakahara bit her lower lip, "Fuyuki never did that kind of thing, he couldn't have killed someone...such a horrible thing..."

"Miss Zhongyuan."

Gao Cheng interrupted: "I understand your feelings, but the police found the victim's belongings on him, and he did try to escape when he was discovered by the police.

"

Gao Cheng took out several photos of the evidence, as well as a photo of the victim Qingliu Wuming.

"He was the head of Jinshi's metal manufacturing department. He was killed at around 9 o'clock last night. His belongings and briefcase were on Mr. Yashima. Mr. Yashima was found by police officers on patrol and was hit by a truck on the way to escape... This is The current details."

"Are you saying that he killed this person and then robbed his belongings? Fuyuki wouldn't do such a thing, he's not that kind of person!" Kaori Nakahara's eyes gradually turned red, she clutched her fingers and muttered, "He absolutely Not that kind of person...it must be a misunderstanding, something is wrong..."

"We also feel that there is a lot of doubt, so we are working hard to investigate," Gao Cheng said softly, "Miss Zhongyuan, if you know something, please tell us, this is also for the good of Mr. Yashima..."

Leaving the hospital, Kaori Nakahara didn't say anything at the end. In the end, she only knew the only connection between the victim and the suspect, "Gold Stone Metal Company".

Kaga was not discouraged, but just looked at Gao Cheng with a smile: "How is it?"

"She must know something else." Gao Cheng turned to look at the hospital, "Hiding the truth, there are such things... But looking at her, it seems that she is very sure that Yashima Fuyuki will not kill people, but because of Why a little self-doubt...

"I think, Fuyuki Yashima must have said something in the phone call she made after the incident last night..."

"Oh?" Kaga laughed, "Let her calm down for a while, and then we will go to the victim's house to see the situation."

"Are all front-line police officers running around like this?" Gao Cheng couldn't help asking, not just them, the police dispatched this time almost formed an investigation network around Nihonbashi.

"This is just the beginning." Kaga smiled.

Gao Cheng suddenly misses Takagi a little. He used to be at the scene of the crime, and if there was anything he needed, he could almost get the clues he wanted as long as he asked Takagi to go there.

But this time, if you don't run in person, it will be really difficult.

And up to now, he hasn't had the opportunity to go to the scene of the crime to actually look at it. Although there is a map description during the investigation meeting, he always feels that it is not intuitive enough.

Qingliu's house.

Speaking of Qingliu, the name "Qingliu Zunzai" subconsciously popped up in Gao Cheng's mind, as if he was an actor.

Of course it has nothing to do with here.

The victim Qingliu Wuming, as the department head of a large company, had three relatives in his family, a wife, a daughter, and a son. Because it was a high-income family, the residence was quite luxurious, a small villa located in a high-end community.

When Gao Cheng and Ka He came over, the villa was surrounded by noisy reporters. Presumably, the victim's identity and background would be fully disclosed at night.

But couldn't these people consider the feelings of the victim's family? It's a sad time when the head of the family is killed...

"We can be regarded as villains," Kaga pushed through the crowd and entered Aoyagi's house, "but there is nothing we can do to find out the case."

Because of the phone call beforehand, the person with a bad complexion quickly invited the two into the house.

The living room of Qingliu's house.

Mrs. Aoyagi shook her head holding the photo of Fuyuki Yashima: "I don't know him..."

"Yashima worked at the Jinshi Metal factory half a year ago."

"My husband hardly mentions the company to me."

"Excuse me, does your husband often go near Nihonbashi?"

"Actually, we don't understand why he would go there..." Mrs. Qingliu returned the photo of Yashima to Gao Cheng, "Other police officers have already asked."

"Did you notice anything?" Kaga suddenly asked the victim's son who was standing aside, "Did you feel anything unusual when you saw your father last?"

The victim's son avoided looking and shook his head: "No..."

When they left Qingliu's house, they didn't ask any clues. Seeing that the family couldn't hide their pain, they didn't know what to ask. No one knew the victim's private situation.

The relationship between the victim and his family members does not seem to be very close at ordinary times. He is a very stubborn father and does not like to talk very much. He only becomes talkative when he mentions swimming with his son.

"Three days ago, Mr. Aoyagi called Shubunkan High School, his alma mater. Seeing his son's expression just now, he seemed to have thought of something," Kaga said solemnly, "Let's go to Shubunkan High School to see."

Gao Cheng has no objection, the police officer must have more experience in investigation than him.

"That's the only way. Why do these people like to hide the truth?"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Kaga said with a smile, "There are three kinds of lies, lies to protect oneself, lies to deceive others, and lies to cover up others... Generally, lies are the shadow of the truth. There will definitely be gains.”

"Shadow of truth..."

Gao Cheng followed Kaga obediently.

In fact, before Kaori Nakahara was interrogated, the system had already popped up the case, and this time it was considered an important event for him.

"New participants, the Kirin Wings incident." It was another case other than Conan's. It didn't have any high IQ tricks. The difficulty lay in the need to collect a lot of detailed clues, which was a test of his ability.

Maybe it's the biggest problem since he became a detective...

Although the suspect, Fuyuki Yashima, who is still in a coma, has the victim's belongings on him and has also tried to escape, it seems very likely that he is the murderer, and the police just want to confirm the facts...

But he personally feels that it is not yet possible to make such a conclusion.

Yashima Fuyuki may not be the real culprit, he may just pass by the scene and take the property.

"Officer Kaga." Gao Cheng walked beside Kaga, thinking of Kaori Nakahara holding back her tears, she suddenly said.

"how?"

"I don't know why, but I feel that Miss Zhongyuan is telling the truth. There may be some misunderstanding in this case."

"The intuition of a famous detective?" Kaga pondered, "Then investigate according to your own feeling."

...

In Shubunkan High School, Gao Cheng and Kaga stood at the school gate together.

The victim contacted the consultant teacher of his son's swimming club, saying that he wanted to talk to the teacher about his son Qingliu Yuren. The swimming club teacher did not hide this point, and other police officers came to investigate in the morning.

"The victim was annoyed that he didn't get along well with his son recently, and said to find time to talk, and then hung up the phone..."

"No matter how you think about it, it won't be so simple," Gao Cheng frowned. "Is there really a problem here?"

Compared with the previous cases, this case did not see any high IQ crimes, but it was not going well, and it was extremely troublesome.

I don't know what Conan would do if he came over, probably not much better than him...

It was already evening, Gaocheng and Kaga returned to Nihonbashi Ningyocho together, and happened to pass by a dessert shop.

"Officer Kaga," Gao Cheng stopped and said, "Let's eat something first."

"Welcome," a waitress greeted the two, "Would you like something to eat?"

"One dessert...and another cup of coffee with four cubes of creamer, thank you."

Gao Cheng sat down near the window, saw Kaga staring at him, and said embarrassedly: "I'm used to eating some sweets every time I exercise or handle cases."

Kaga didn't say anything, and sat directly across from Gao Cheng: "Me too, sweets help the brain work... But you put four cubes of creamer every time you drink coffee?"

"Uh."

Gao Cheng looked at the time, it was already past the time for Xiao Ai to go to the pottery classroom, and they might have gone home already.

"Oops... I forgot it accidentally, so I can only go another day..."

"forget?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Gao Cheng came back to his senses, put a map and the victim's information on the table and said, "Mr. Kaga, the latest news found by other teams, Mr. Aoyagi went to the Edobashi family that night. The coffee shop is near the scene of the murder...According to the waiter, he bought two lattes at 7:30 in the evening."

Kahe heard the words and lightly tapped the table: "Does that mean there was still someone with him at that time?"

"The management officer thinks it's probably Yashima," Gao Cheng nodded, "It is said that Yashima might have been forced to fire, and he held a grudge when he met the head of the head office half a year later... But there are still problems , Yashima was looking for a job that day, so carrying a folding knife is a bit unreasonable."

"Indeed," Kaga listened, "Nakahara Kaori also said that she had never seen that knife."

"In addition, I heard that Mr. Aoyagi appeared in Nihonbashi Ningyocho a few days before the incident, and a gift shop remembered that he bought a glasses case," Gao Cheng continued, "it is the glasses case that has not been confirmed by the family members. The company is in Shinjuku, the factory is in Kunitachi, and the exile is in Nerima... I really don’t know why he went here to buy glasses cases, and then he was killed in Nihombashi.”

Kaga took the map and marked several important locations: "What exactly is Mr. Aoyagi doing here?"

"Senior Kaga?" A waitress next to him saw Kaga and asked in surprise, "Are you investigating the murder incident on the Nihonbashi Bridge?"

"Long time no see." Kaga smiled, seemed to know the waitress very well, picked up the photo of Takeaki Aoyagi and asked, "Have you seen this person before?"

The waitress came closer, nodded and said, "I have been visiting here since half a year ago. It seems that I have never been to Ningyocho before. At that time, I asked for directions."

"half year ago?"

“Yeah, mostly on weekends, say I’m craving sweets after working out, wear lightweight golf attire, always check the time on my watch while looking at a map, and go for a walk with a digital camera, and not just one place… "

"As expected of a reporter," Kaga sighed, "The observation skills are very keen..."

The waitress said embarrassedly: "I'm just calling myself, and now I have to work here to make ends meet."

When the woman left, Gao Cheng took a bite of the sweet and couldn't help but asked Kaga, "Girlfriend?"

"The former school girl."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng looked at the busy figure of the waitress on the other side, and didn't ask any further questions.

From the information provided by the waitress, at least it is known that the victim has been active in the Nihonbashi area since half a year ago, and it seems that he deliberately kept it from his family.

"According to Mr. Qingliu's family, it is true that he goes out to play golf every weekend, and Mrs. Qingliu complained... There are only 3 things that the family does not know. The source of the glasses case is confirmed, the digital camera and the Internet cafe membership card. Is there any connection?"

Gao Cheng thought about it: "I asked Police Officer Takagi, the Internet cafe membership card seems to have been issued half a year ago...By the way, Mr. Kaga, let's go to Guoli's factory to see the relationship between the victim and the suspect. Maybe you can find something."

Kaga ate something and said, "Yeah, I'll leave it to you over there."

Gao Cheng paused: "I'm going alone? But I'm not a policeman..."

"It's useless to go to Guoli to investigate the factory. It's useless to take me, the police from the Nihonbashi area?" Kaga said naturally, "I'll leave it to you there. What's going on here at the bridge."

"Then contact if you have any clues."

Gao Cheng drank coffee with extra creamer, thinking that he would ask Police Officer Takagi for help again.

Only at this time did I know the difference between the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department and the police officers of the jurisdiction, but relatively speaking, the police officers of the jurisdiction must be much more familiar with the jurisdiction, so that's why Officer Megure let him and Kaga be a team, right?

At present, it seems that this Kaga police officer is indeed very capable, unlike Kaizuka Kita's Utsumi, who has a so-called intuition and a bad brain except for his unyielding hard work.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Neihai for a long time, and I haven't seen him recently...

"Okay, work hard," Gao Cheng drank his coffee in one gulp, stood up and said, "I'll trouble Officer Kaga to report to the management officer..."

"Hey," Kaga grabbed Gao Cheng and asked earnestly, "You haven't reported yet?"

"Is there any problem?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "I'm not a policeman."
