"Police Department, what kind of murderous gum is that? Is it related to the garbage collection point here?"
Ye Gengyi's inquiry didn't sound like much to Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro, but it made Conan and Hondo Eyou, who had ulterior motives, suddenly tense up.
Judging from the solemn judgment subconsciously revealed between their brows and eyes, it was obvious that they were analyzing the situation.
Garbage collection point?
Mumu Thirteen said strangely, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Gengyi, didn't any of you watch the news this morning?"
"No."
Ye Gengyi shook his head slightly and immediately asked: "Police department, can you give us a brief explanation?"
Because of the request from Hondo Eiyu and the connection between Toromichi and Rena Minami, the speculation that the deceased might be related to the organization flashed subconsciously in his mind.
"Well……"
Megure Thirteen paused for a moment, and glanced at the familiar lineup of Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran, Conan and Hondo Eisuke. He wondered if he was thinking about how he had just used someone else to detect Itagaki Locke's throwing. He sighed helplessly and said:
"Forget it, you all come together. The scene of the death happened in a villa not far ahead. Let's talk as we walk."
A group of people walked along the street toward the scene of the death.
During this period, I also learned from Megure Shisan that the deceased was a relatively well-known bourgeois family nearby, Funamoto Tatsumi’s wife Funamoto Kaneo.
Yesterday morning, when the maid of the villa came to wake the hostess up, she found that she had been shot in the back of the head and died in a kneeling position on the wall of the bedroom balcony. Judging from the angle of entry of the bullet, it is estimated that the murderer was at least 1.8 meters tall and the time of death was probably around 9 to 10 o'clock the night before yesterday.
"Has the murderer's motive been found?" Ye Gengyi continued to ask.
"Probably because of the money."
Mumu Shisan said: "Before he was killed, the deceased had dressed up to attend a party held by friends, but we did not find the pearl necklace and bracelet on the body that the family of the deceased said... Well, this is it..."
As he spoke, he stood in front of a villa.
Different from the city street scene with cement pavement, what you see in front of you is an elegant building. The lush and carefully tended green plants surround the courtyard from the left and right, which looks very special.
"Oh, what a beautiful house!"
Mouri Kogoro sighed with emotion, and then his eyes fell on a middle-aged woman in her 50s with black curly hair and dark gray business attire outside the door.
When he saw the other person, the person also recognized him.
"Mr. Mori? You are the famous detective Kogoro Mori, right..."
With tears in her eyes, the middle-aged woman stepped forward quickly: "I am a servant of Mr. Funamoto's family. Please find the murderer of my wife as soon as possible."
"Uh, this..."
Mouri Kogoro was obviously hesitant.
He didn't ask for the details of the case like Ye Gengyi just now, because he wanted to find a reason to hit the small steel ball. In the end, he was recognized by someone, and he could only say: "You can feel free to take the case." Leave it to these reliable police colleagues."
"Ahem..."
Mumu Shisan coughed a few times, brushing off his weak sense of existence.
As a result, the helper's words directly made his face darken:
"How can we do it just by relying on them! Please help me, I will pay your commission fee!"
Commission, entrustment fee...
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, wasn't this what he was waiting for~
"Okay! I understand. This matter is all mine. I will definitely find out the murderer!"
"Ahem, Brother Gengyi, come on..."
Mumu Shisan called Ye Gengyi aside and said in a deep voice: "The credibility of our police is being challenged!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
It's not my business……
"Speaking of which," Megure Thirteen squinted at an expert from a technical association: "Mr. Oikawa's murder of his father, and Rock Itagaki's corpse dumping yesterday. Brother Genichi, you were also present at the beginning, right?"
"Yeah." Ye Geng nodded.
The atmosphere was silent for more than ten seconds.
Mumu Thirteen was still ready to listen to the other party's reasons for leaving, but in the end... it was just a 'huh'?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻…Where’s the explanation? Where’s the explanation I want!
The waiting expression on the face of a certain khaki police officer gradually turned into a violent one. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times: "Brother Gengyi, can I know why?"
"Because of White Horse Detective." Ye Gengyi said calmly.
Ah, this...
The unexpected answer made Mumu Shisan stunned:
"Detective Baima? You mean the son of the police chief of Baima."
"Well, my two departures were directly and indirectly related to him, so it's not convenient to reveal the details of the process without his consent."
Ye Geng paused and lowered his voice: "He was in danger and almost died. He should still be recovering in the hospital."
"What!? It was almost..."
Mumu Thirteen could hardly control his emotions, and couldn't help but exclaimed. Then he realized it a little later. Facing the curious eyes of everyone headed by Conan, he hurriedly called Ye Geng and moved aside. After several steps, he lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Gengyi, what's going on?"
"Police Department, Detective Baima is the person involved, so it's not convenient for me to disclose the specific situation, but..."
Ye Gengyi said in a summary way: "Basically because of his invitation, we went to a very dangerous place and came back alive by luck."
"Then your body..." Mumu Shisan looked up and down for a while.
"Luckily, I wasn't injured. It's just a lot of physical exertion." Ye Gengyi told the truth.
"I'm sorry, brother Gengyi, I don't even know..."
Mumu Shisan solemnly apologized and then stopped asking further questions.
They were whispering from this side.
But it really made Conan anxious.
As a detective, the two things that bother him the most are: first, others have secrets that they don't want to know, and second, others want to know their secrets!
But now, the actions of Ye Gengyi and Mu Mu Shisan were simply equivalent to putting his curiosity on the fire.
It's so irresponsible to hide so far away even though you're whispering, and you don't even consider the feelings of the person you're eavesdropping on!
He is still angry.
On the other side, Mouri Kogoro has already begun to discuss the commission fee with the Funato family's helper.
Finally, the behavior of a group of people gathering outside the door attracted the attention of the owner of the villa, Master Fengben.
He came to the entrance in a wheelchair and shouted toward the door:
"Hyomi, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Ah! Master, I'm very sorry," the helper who was replaced by Xiaomei hurriedly explained: "I met Mr. Mori."
"gross profit……"
Funamoto Master obviously hesitated: "Oh, you are the famous one...but why do you appear here?"
"This... can be said to be a coincidence..."
Mouri Kogoro scratched his cheek, obviously not expecting Mr. Funamoto, who had just lost his wife, to ask this question.
Just as he was hesitating, a thin figure suddenly ran out of the house.
The boy in black mourning clothes.
He came to Mouri Kogoro's side, raised his head and shouted:
"I know who the murderer is! The person who killed my mother was a foreign woman wearing black clothes!"
