After ringing the doorbell, a woman in her forties wearing a plain kimono came to open the door.
She opened the door and saw a group of police officers standing outside the door, with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Hello, Mrs. Yamada." Shiratori stepped forward and showed his police badge, "Regarding the Yongpu Chemical incident, we have some things that we need to know from your husband."
"Huh?" The woman was a little dazed, as if she didn't expect the police to show up at home, but soon she recalled that her husband had been promoting the maintenance of the meeting, perhaps because of this matter.
She nodded and made room for the Memu Police Department and the others to come in.
"My husband is in the backyard, I'm going to ask him to come out."
The woman bowed and was about to lead them to the reception room.
Then the Memu Police Department waved his hand: "No, let's go directly."
After saying that, he led his men and strode towards the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there was a rockery pool with birds chirping in cages, which was divided into quiet and peaceful areas. When they walked in, the bamboo tube happened to be full of water and then dropped down, making a clear sound of frightened deer.
There was a person wearing a gray bathrobe, sitting cross-legged in the corridor, admiring the scenery in the courtyard.
"Yamada Daichi?"
Megure Police Department walked in front of the crowd, followed by Kudo Shinichi, Shiratori Rensaburo and two police officers.
"Who are you?" Yamada Daichi turned his head and looked in the direction where he was speaking. He stared at Memu's face, his expression lost in memories. After a while, he suddenly realized, "That black-hearted police department who doesn't care about the interests of the villagers, why are you here now and want to do what?"
In the previous conflict between villagers and the club, Yamada and Megure met once. At that time, out of the need to maintain order, the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department chose to repel the villagers who had the upper hand in the fight. Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, the Metropolitan Police Department It has become a model of collusion between government and businessmen.
The Megure Police Department did not react to Yamada Daichi's frame-up. He just got straight to the point and asked: "Did you ask the Watanabe brothers to install bombs in Yongpu Chemical Industry?"
"It's me, but it's just a fake bomb, used to deceive the president and let him know that if he doesn't pay the compensation as required, this will be his fate."
"So, you are also the murderer?" The questioning voice of the Mu Mu Police Department was deafening.
"?"
Faced with his question, Yamada Daichi became confused. He looked up and down at Megure who was asking the question several times, and frowned: "Is this another trick you made? In order to charge me with a crime so that they can have a legitimate reason. Neglect the compensation?”
"Let me guess, it must be the president's trick, right? Tsk, tut, it's really disgusting."
Hearing this sentence, Kudo Shinichi was moved. The Megure Police Department asked if he was the murderer, but they did not reveal the identity of the deceased. If the person in front of him was the murderer, he must have known that the president was dead. It was unlikely. would say something like this.
Kudo Shinichi pulled the Megure Police Department's arm behind his back, indicating that he would ask some questions.
"What did you do all day today?"
He did not specify the time when the incident occurred, to test whether Yamada Daichi really did not know the situation.
Logically speaking, after the bomb exploded, the police had cleared the crowd in the building, and only then discovered the death of the president. In this way, even if the news spread quickly among the villages, Yamada should not have known about the incident. details.
As long as he reveals a trace of his own knowledge, it will definitely be related to the case.
"Is it a day today?"
Knowing that someone was dead, Yamada Daichi didn't dare not cooperate.
"I walked around the village in the morning and visited the victim's home on behalf of the Maintenance Association to offer condolences. I came back for lunch at noon and went fishing by the river in the afternoon. I have been here ever since I came back."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"Yes..." At this point, Yamada's expression became confused. He stared at Kudo Shinichi, who looked like he was not a policeman, and asked, "Why is this child asking? The clothes on his body, Are you a junior high school student?"
"Forehead."
This sudden attack made the police present a little embarrassed. Finally, the police officer Meguro coughed and took over the conversation, "Do you have an alibi?"
"have."
Seeing that these people had no intention of explaining, Yamada Daichi replied bitterly: "Every family interviewed in the morning can prove that at noon, my wife is the only one at home, and in the afternoon, although there are not many people on the river, there are also a few fishing friends. , as for after returning, only Madam can prove it."
The lady he mentioned was the woman who opened the door to the police at that time.
After asking someone to confirm Yamada's alibi, the Megure Police Department turned the topic to bombs.
"Why do you want to trick someone into planting a bomb? If you want to teach him a lesson, with your prestige, no one will object to your decision, right?"
"Decoy? Is that what they said?"
When he said this, Kudo Shinichi had the illusion that Yamada had changed into a different person, but when he looked carefully, there was no change.
"This star really wants to retire"
"If that's the case, then I deceived them."
"It's just that the bombs I provided them are indeed not real. There are still unfinished bombs in the warehouse over there. You can go check them out."
Yamada Daichi raised his hand and pointed to the small warehouse in the corner of the courtyard and said.
The Mumu Police Department winked, and the police officer who followed behind him ran over, opened the warehouse door, and took out something similar to the bomb found at the accident scene.
After comparison, it was indeed exactly the same as the one on site.
If what Yamada said is true, then there are two parties who planted the bomb. The Watanabe brothers only installed a fake bomb, while the other party used this cover to plant the real bomb.
Could it be the cleaner? But it’s unreasonable.
Is it possible that there is a third suspect among them?
The cleaners entered the scene in front of the police; the Watanabe brothers only thought of running away after the explosion. Judging from this situation, it is unlikely that the two are the real culprits.
So, is there a third person secretly there?
Suddenly, this guess came to mind. At this moment, Kudo Shinichi felt as if he had grasped a clue hidden behind the case, and he couldn't wait to find more puzzle pieces that could piece together the truth.
"Why would you want to warn the president? Didn't the news say that he had realized his mistake?"
"And he also spent a lot of money to purchase processing equipment to prevent such problems."
Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Why?"
"I can tell that among this group of people, you are the smartest kid... If you want to know, just go and see what the so-called processing equipment in his mouth is!"
Yamada Daichi slammed his fist on the floor and said angrily.
