"Okay, let's talk about the coffee pot when we get back."
After finally digesting his emotions, Mouri Kogoro reached for the photo album, turned around, faced the little boy and said, "Kid, do you have any impression of these three people?"
"No……"
The little boy shook his head: "It was very dark at the time, and he was wearing a hat. I only remember that he took out a lot of things from his pockets and threw them into the river, but I couldn't see clearly what they were. .”
It's strange why these people don't seem to be here to take care of business, but rather to investigate. Especially the mustache, he looks so familiar...
Listening to the incomprehensible conversations of several people, the tattoo shop owner at the counter suddenly showed a suspicious expression:
"Um... may I ask, what have you been discussing since the beginning?"
"Ahem, it's okay, don't worry about it..."
Mouri Kogoro said with a perfunctory smile, knowing that time was tight and he could no longer waste it. He could only speed up the collection of clues and ask for more information before being kicked out.
He quickly scanned the photos of the three suspects.
Since he couldn't find any suspicious traces in the background of Kiritani wearing a peaked cap and the black boy Kanai, Mouri Kogoro simply changed the topic to Anju who was driving an imported car:
"Boss, does this man's car belong to him?"
"Uh...well, yeah."
The owner of the tattoo shop looked suspicious, but nodded and replied: "Mr. Anju is an old music fan. Before Itagaki Rock debuted, he often hung out in underground music venues. He has driven this imported car for about ten years. It’s been 20 years, I’ve heard him say it privately, it seems like he’s not used to driving right-hand drive cars, so if he buys one, he’ll still buy an imported one.”
"Hey... kid," taking this opportunity, Mouri Kogoro hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Do you think it's this car? It's also black in color."
"I don't know, I don't remember anymore." The little boy continued to shake his head.
In the end, there was no progress at all... Mouri Kogoro thought slightly depressed.
After Ye Gengyi listened to the shop owner's ramblings, he directly fixed his eyes on the man wearing the peaked cap.
He glanced at Conan calmly.
Strange, so low-key?
Isn't the answer already obvious? Could it be that this guy was particularly cautious and wanted to ask the black guy if he also had an imported car, so he exposed the tattoo on his left wrist when he left?
But even if you think about it, you know it’s impossible.
Ye Gengyi believed that Conan's cautious real numbers were unnecessary.
Even if the other party really had an imported car, and the little boy and his father were blocked in the middle of the road, they forgot to see the lane where the murderer's car was.
The murderer who attempted to dump the body would not have chosen to park the car in the rightmost lane, then openly carry the backpack containing the body, cross the two lanes and walk to the leftmost railing.
So...Conan is silent now and has a thoughtful expression on his face, not because he doesn't understand the answer, but because he is wary of Eiyu?
Huh? We haven’t seen each other for a while...well, it could be a few months. In short, not only his head, but also his brain inside has grown up...
Ye Gengyi was very pleased that he misunderstood directly, and immediately decided to help the other party.
Immediately, he set his sights on a certain tool man:
"Mr. Mori, please come here..."
"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro blinked in confusion and walked to a corner of the shop.
Ye Gengyi did not make any foreshadowing, but said in a declarative tone:
"Mr. Mori, since you already know who the suspect is, is the reason why you don't say it directly because you are worried that the store owner and the other party are secretly colluding?"
"I, I know?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.
"Haha, you are indeed a detective. Is this a test for me?"
Ye Gengyi shook his head helplessly, "I also noticed it, although it was thanks to Mr. Maoli's reminder..."
"My reminder?"
Mouri Kogoro twitched the corners of his mouth, and his brain was running rapidly... What did I remind you? Did I just make some reasoning?
"Mr. Mori, excessive modesty is pride."
Ye Gengyi said slowly:
"You deliberately asked the shop owner about imported cars earlier. Didn't you just remind me not to be distracted? The clues are right in front of me. I also thought about it for a few seconds before I realized that the problem of the left and right rudders is tattooed on my left wrist. Neither Guannai nor Anju, who drives a right-hand drive car, would be able to see the tattoo on his wrist by the child. After elimination, the only thing left was the man wearing the peaked cap."
"Yes, I understand!" Mouri Kogoro slapped his thigh.
(_)...Can you cooperate a little bit?
Ye Gengyi's fish-eyed eyes said, "Mr. Maoli, what are you..."
"Ahem, no, that...I..." Mouri Kogoro's smile froze on his face.
"... Found the evidence?"
After Ye Geng slandered, he continued to deal with it calmly, "So that's it. Seeing that Mr. Maoli is sure of winning, I feel relieved. After all, the evidence currently available is only inference and cannot constitute conclusive proof of the crime. I originally thought that now that I have these clues, I just need to ask the police to take the person to the police station for interrogation, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Maoli already had other ways to solve the case.”
"I... Geng Yi, you are right, I already have a solution."
Mouri Kogoro felt that he had been promoted to a high position. Although he had not yet figured out how to deal with the current situation, he could only bite the bullet and continue the topic at this moment.
"Okay, it seems that I am not a detective, so it is indeed difficult for me to understand the mood of a detective, but with Mr. Maori here, there will definitely be no problem with the case. Then Mr. Maori, I will go back first."
Ye Gengyi waved his hands and walked out of the door muttering: "I don't know if there is a shop selling that kind of coffee in Cupido Town..."
"Uh, okay, be careful on the road." Mouri Kogoro also waved goodbye.
After watching Ye Gengyi's figure disappear around the corner, a certain tool man suddenly let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
So, so dangerous...
It turned out that I had made such a shrewd reminder without knowing it, and Gengyi misunderstood it. Fortunately, I didn't cheat on him, otherwise my image in his mind would have been ruined.
"Huh? Why is Brother Gengyi gone?"
Conan didn't come over to eavesdrop because he was worried about being beaten. As a result, when he saw Mouri Kogoro was frightened and jumping, and finally when Ye Geng left the store, he still breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help it.
"Zengyi has something to do and will go back first." Mouri Kogoro said.
Is there something?
What happened? Brother Geng Yi is too casual! We agreed to break up together...well, it seems that we didn't make any similar agreement.
Conan was dumbfounded: "But Eucalyptus hasn't..."
"Oh, I already know who the suspect who dumped the body on the bridge is."
Maori Kogoro chuckled softly, as if he wanted to imitate Ye Gengyi's indifferent tone when explaining his reasoning, but unfortunately he hadn't put up the score yet. Mao Lilan and Maori Lan were also confused about why Ye Gengyi left suddenly. At this time, our hall Yingyou also came over.
Each of them asked questions.
Directly caused Mouri Kogoro to break his power.
When he had no choice but to explain again, Ye Gengyi left beforehand and was about to continue adjusting his expression to pretend to be indifferent.
A certain little cotton-padded jacket with air leakage looked at his father's gradually changing expression and asked directly in confusion: "Dad, is your face uncomfortable? It seems to be cramping?"
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Otherwise... forget it this time... find a mirror to practice when you go back?
He was depressed.
Conan was not at ease either.
In other words, was Brother 1 chatting with Uncle Maori just now?
Okay... Although it is reasonable for people to do this regardless of their age or appearance, but... why do they feel so unhappy! Especially, I haven’t figured out what the clues are to the broken eucalyptus!
Brother Geng Yi, this guy is really hateful!
In the past, it was just a matter of using the so-called 'brute force decryption method'.
This time it went even further, and he actually requisitioned all his tools!
Ahhhh, so what on earth did he say to his uncle?
His thoughts were a little confused, and it was really difficult to focus on the problem in a short period of time.
Thinking that two of the three detectives in the group already knew who the real murderer was, he sighed and finally resigned himself to his fate:
"Uncle...well, who is the suspect?"
"Come on, let's go to the car and talk."
Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, and the tattoo shop owner looked like "What are these guys doing here?" and left gracefully.
