Been busy most of the night.
The next day, morning.
Ye Gengyi received a call from Mu Mu Shisan.
When he drove Haibara Ai to the Metropolitan Police Department, he met Conan, Mouri Kogoro, Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and three children just outside the door of the conference room on the first floor.
Several people waited together for several minutes.
He saw Megure Thirteen yawning and walking down the stairs together with Officer Chiba and Officer Shiratori.
"Sorry, I'm late organizing the information. Everyone, please go in."
Everyone sat down in front of a rectangular conference table.
Mumu Shisan cleared his throat and said: "It's not convenient to speak too clearly on the phone. Anyway... please keep the content of the meeting confidential for the time being after you leave here."
Feel the solemn atmosphere.
Several people looked at each other and nodded silently.
"Okay, then I'll say it."
Mumu Shisan picked up a photo, hung it on the whiteboard against the wall, and said:
"I came to you for nothing else. After the police received a report early this morning, they found the body of city councilor Oki Iwamatsu in the suite of the Twin Towers skyscraper. After he reported it to the chairman of Tokiwa Group, Mio Tokiwa, It is said that everyone here was present when the request for accommodation was made.”
"Uh, yes, a few of us happened to visit the Tokiwa Group yesterday," Mouri Kogoro said: "I really didn't expect that the congressman would be killed. By the way, the police department, when was his death? !”
Mumu Shisan said: "The time of death was probably between ten o'clock last night and midnight. The murder weapon may have been a knife, but it was not found at the scene. However, in the hand of the deceased, he was holding a small wine glass that was split into two. "
"This is it..."
Officer Shiratori placed the evidence collected from the scene on the table.
wine glass...
liquor! Could it be those guys who did it!
Conan's expression hardened and he reached for the evidence.
"Wine glass... Speaking of which, when I met the congressman yesterday, he looked drunk." Ye Gengyi said suddenly.
Conan's arm stiffened and stopped moving forward.
"Indeed, Brother Gengyi is right. Representative Omu likes to drink. The coroner also detected a large amount of alcohol in his blood."
Mumu Shisan continued: "However, when the police found the broken small wine glass, there were no traces of spilled wine around it, so we judged that this is likely to be a pre-death message left by the deceased."
"A message before death..."
Mouri Kogoro looked at the photos that were constantly pasted on the whiteboard, "So... the police think the suspects are the five of them?"
"Yes, according to the police investigation, since Building B of the Twin Towers skyscraper has not been opened to the public, so far, only the five of them have the authority to enter there."
Mumu Shisan paused for a moment, "However, I summoned them overnight, and among these five people, only Mr. Yuan has an alibi."
So is it 1 out of 4 again this time?
Ye Gengyi was silent, feeling that since he joined in solving the case, the days of choosing 1 out of 3 have gradually gone away.
Afterwards, listen to the entire meeting and summarize it in one sentence.
All four people are suspects.
After the show.
Metropolitan Police Parking Lot.
Ye Gengyi started the beetle car.
Haihara Ai sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Aren't you going to investigate with them?"
"Why?" Ye Gengyi said: "This incident did not involve me, and no one paid the commission fee."
"That's right." Hui Yuan Ai sighed, "It would be great if someone had your level of awareness..."
"You mean those sneaky little guys?"
Ye Gengyi looked through the glass at the four little heads on the other side of the road.
Hui Yuan Ai was silent for a moment: "...Yes."
She didn't get out of the car this time. If she followed and met Gin and the others, it would be more dangerous for these children...
But why doesn’t that guy from Edogawa understand?
"They should be fine." Ye Gengyi said.
"Eh?" Huiyuan Ai was confused at first, and then suddenly said: "Do you already know who the murderer is?"
"It's just suspicion. After all, the police investigation lacks many details." Ye Gengyi said.
"Who is it?" Huiyuan Ai asked hurriedly.
"The possibility of Ruyue Fengshui and Kazama Hidehiko is very high." Ye Gengyi did not immediately give a definite answer.
"Why not Chairman Tokiwa?" Haihara Ai wondered: "You should have seen how arrogant the congressman was yesterday."
"That's why it couldn't be her. Councilman Oki Isomatsu has more power than the mayor. Since the building has been completed, it is only in Tokiwa's interest for Oki Isomatsu to be alive. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago."
Ye Gengyi said: "Mio Tokiwa is a businessman, and secondly a woman. It is not beneficial to leave the body in an unopened suite."
"What about the secretary?" Haiyuan Ai asked, "She has no alibi either."
"Her father is a journalist. If he has to be related to the congressman, it will only be because some evidence was secretly photographed and silenced. But if that is the case, the police should have known about it as early as last night when they questioned the five people. At the critical point, when it comes to the work style of the congressman, the Mumu Police Department reported it even if they didn't want to, and today they will ask Mr. Mori to assist. Doesn't it mean that the death of the reporter back then was just an ordinary accident."
Ye Gengyi said: "Otherwise, once a problem is discovered under investigation by a famous detective, it will be too late for the senior management to exert pressure and provide vague information."
"Is that so..." Hui Yuan'ai thought for a moment and then asked, "But how can you guarantee that those children will not be in danger."
"I never promised, I just said I should." Ye Gengyi was very strict.
"Okay..." Haiyuan sighed and asked another question: "Why do you think so?"
"Think about it the other way around," Ye Gengyi said: "Who do you think Damu Yansong's life will affect?"
Living... Who will it affect?
These words are very sensitive.
Haibara Ai did not think about the case immediately, but instead put herself into the character.
When her sister was still alive, she lived for herself and her sister.
Later, my sister died.
When she betrayed the organization and escaped from the institute by taking APTX-4869, she didn't have time to think about it that much because she was risking her own life.
And now that she no longer had to live for the sake of living, she had to start thinking again.
If I live like this, it will probably affect many people and make them unable to live normally...
Brother Geng, Doctor, Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta...
Even the students in school who had talked to her, including Teacher Xiaolin, etc...
Ye Gengyi couldn't hear any movement for a long time. He glanced sideways and noticed the expression, knowing that the child was becoming autistic again.
"Hey, come to your senses."
Ye Gengyi ignored the other party's reaction and just pretended that the two of them were still discussing the topic just now and said: "On the other hand, Hidehiko Kazama, who has a technical background, and the master of painting Ruyue Fengshui, although both of them have added new heights because of the building. Although I have gained some fame, I will also be subject to the constraints behind fame and fortune. If I had to choose one, the only one left would be Kisaragi Hosui, who has neither a motive nor a reason to escape guilt. After all, Hidehiko Kazama is Emperor Moritani. The second student finally took advantage of the opportunity to show off his abilities. I think if he is professional enough, he shouldn't have too much artistic persistence."
"...So, haven't you already guessed who the murderer is?" Haiyuan Ai said with half-moon eyes.
"The police will not arrest anyone based on my words. Correspondingly, those children will not be taken seriously by this master..."
After Ye Geng finished speaking, he changed the subject directly: "Seeing that you are in a bad mood, would you like to buy some food on the way back?"
"I want to go see a movie." Haihara Ai said.
"creative..."
Ye Gengyi thought about the route, turned left at the intersection in front of him, and stopped in front of a shopping mall that integrated theaters and shopping.
He took out a few ten thousand yuan notes from his pocket and handed them over, "Don't be too late."
"You...won't come together?" Hui Yuan Ai had a strange expression.
"No, it's a waste of time. Remember to go back after reading it."
Ye Gengyi said, putting the money into her hand.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Then, the two turned to look at each other with great understanding.
Although no one spoke, Haihara Ai could clearly read something in the other person's gaze.
At this moment, Ye Gengyi asked: "Is there anything else? Why don't you get out of the car?"
Haibara Ai:"......"
That's right, that's it.
