Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro were stunned by the old inspector's words, and then they both said in unison: "Why didn't you tell us about such an important thing earlier?"
"You didn't even ask." The old inspector took a step back and replied innocently, "Besides, this happened twelve years ago, so it should have nothing to do with the current case."
"How come it doesn't matter? Now it's clear that this situation is related! Where is the sheet music?" Mouri Kogoro asked eagerly.
"It's in the warehouse of the public hall, but the key to the warehouse is in the police station." the old patrol officer replied.
Officer Memu saw that the old patrolman did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and he shouted loudly: "Then hurry up and get the key. This may be a pre-death message!"
The old inspector was startled by Officer Megu's stern look. He quickly responded and went to the police station to get the key.
After checking the corpse, Conan saw this and quickly followed him, "I'll go too."
"Conan!" Xiaolan shouted quickly.
"Let him go, otherwise this guy will wander around the murder scene again." Mouri Kogoro curled his lips.
Xiaolan: "..."
…
Along the way, Conan asked the old patrolman about Keiji Aso, "Grandpa, did Mr. Aso really set fire to his family by himself?"
As the old inspector walked, he recalled: "Yes, because four witnesses saw it, the former village chief Mr. Kameyama, the current village chief Mr. Kuroiwa, Mr. Nishimoto and Mr. Kawashima."
"I heard that these four people grew up with Mr. Aso as playmates," Conan said.
"Yes, they have played together since they were young, and they used to have a very good relationship." The old inspector couldn't help but sigh when he thought that some of these five people had died unexpectedly one after another.
"What about Brother Murasawa? Who is he?" Conan asked again.
"He, he came here three years ago. He finally got engaged to the village chief's daughter a few days ago, but the village chief has always been opposed to it," the old patrolman said.
"What about Mr. Hirata, the secretary?" Conan continued to ask.
"He is a timid and cowardly person, a bit sneaky. I often see him and Mr. Kawashima meeting at the public hall in the dead of night." the old patrol officer replied.
"What about Mr. Shimizu?"
"He is a man with a strong sense of justice and is deeply loved by fishermen."
Conan learned some information about these people from the old inspector, and secretly analyzed in his mind who of these people had the greater motive for committing the crime.
…
Village office.
After Asai finished examining the corpse, he speculated that the time of death of Kuroiwa Village Chief should be half an hour ago, and there were signs of a struggle. Although the stab wound on the back was a fatal injury, the injury on the head was also serious. The head should have been hit first. After being hit, he was stabbed in the back with a knife and killed.
Therefore, several people who were still in the village office became important suspects, and because "Moonlight" was playing at the murder scene, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer this time is the same as the previous murderer.
"It's Shimizu, it must be him!" When faced with the suspicion of the police, the daughter of the village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kuroiwa Reiko, directly pointed the finger at Masato Shimizu, "He is the candidate for the village chief. My father and Kawashima are both dead. If so, it is most beneficial to him, he is the murderer!"
When Qingshui Masato heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, "Don't talk nonsense, you will blame me for everything. I was on the first floor half an hour ago. There should be someone who can testify for me. Secretary Hirata, you have Do you see me?"
Hirata and Ming shook their heads in fear and said: "I went to the toilet and didn't see it."
"Hey, hey, why is this like this!" Masato Shimizu became anxious and looked at Hoshino Sora, Xiaolan, Asai Narumi and others, "What about you, have you seen me?"
Xiaolan apologized: "We went to eat and didn't see you."
Seeing Masato Shimizu's anxious and panicked look, Mouri Kogoro knew the answer in his mind. He couldn't help but smile confidently, pointed at him and said, "Mr. Shimizu, you must be the murderer! Murder requires a motive, and in the presence of others, if you say The one with the biggest motive is you! So, please tell me the truth!"
"No, it's not me, it's really not me. You have to believe me. I am the son of a fisherman. Even if I want to be the village chief, I will compete openly and will not use such murderous methods!" Qingshui! Masato was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and quickly waved his hands to deny it.
Asai Narimi knew what he was like, so he defended him: "I believe Mr. Shimizu would not do this. He has a high chance of being qualified for the position of village chief, so why would he risk killing people? This is completely unnecessary. of."
Qingshui Masato looked at her gratefully and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, there is no way I can kill anyone!"
"Stop making excuses! You are the murderer!" Kuroiwa Reiko yelled at Officer Megure, "Officer, arrest him!"
"Ahem, Miss Kuroiwa, please calm down. We will not let a bad person go, but we will never wrongly accuse a good person." Officer Megure advised.
Although he is also very suspicious of Masato Shimizu, there is no evidence now!
Murasawa, the fiancé of Kuroiwa Reiko, said on Monday: "Since the police officer is still unable to identify the murderer, can you let us go have a meal? We are still hungry until now."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'll have someone bring you food right now." Officer Megure said.
"I'm not a prisoner, why do I have to stay here to eat!" Black Rock Lingzi shouted angrily, "Why do you restrict my freedom? Do you think I killed my father?"
Officer Memu waved his hand, "In that case, let's all go to dinner together."
As a result, the group went to the restaurant to eat, but Ran and Asai Narimi said they didn't need to eat. When Officer Mumu saw this, he said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, go see the old man and find a key. Does it take that long?"
"Okay." Xiaolan was about to go to the police station. Asai Narimi said that she wanted to go together, so Xiaolan was naturally willing. "Akong, will you go too?"
When Sora Hoshino saw Asai Narimi and Xiaolan together, he shook his head, "No, I want to stay for dinner. If I have to stay up late at night, I can have energy."
"Okay." Xiaolan nodded and went to the police station with Asai Narumi.
Hoshino Sora started to devour the food, while the others ate slowly. During the meal, Kuroiwa Reiko used the excuse of going to the toilet and never came back. Then her fiancé also slipped away quietly, followed by the secretary Hirata Kazuaki and Nishimoto. Jian, all left the restaurant.
There were no guards guarding the outside of the restaurant. After all, it was a meal, not an inquiry, so it was not that strict. Therefore, when Officer Megure discovered that except for Masato Shimizu, the other four people were missing, he immediately felt a headache and annoyed, "These guys..."
At this moment, the old patrolman trotted over and reported breathlessly to Officer Megure, "Officer Megure, the public hall... the warehouse... Mr. Nishimoto, he... is dead..."
"What!!!" Officer Megure was so shocked that he didn't care about eating and shouted at everyone, "Go to the public hall, quickly! Brother Takagi, take people and bring everyone who left to the public hall!"
Hoshino Sora almost squirted. Is the uncle going crazy? This is the third time. The three people who were reminded by me have now received their lunch boxes!
Death, Death!
