"Is there anyone else who can help you prove it?" the Niigata Prefecture detective asked with a clearly serious tone.
"No," Takehiko Muto shook his head, "because I don't like to be disturbed when I'm working."
"But..." the Niigata Prefecture detective asked: "Since you have been in the studio next to the reservoir, why did Mr. Hikawa go to the hut in the back mountain?"
"Hey! Are you treating me as a prisoner? Besides, how do I know why he is going there?"
Takehiko Muto raised his eyebrows, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the studio and take a look at the wood carvings I carved today! That way you will know that I have been there all afternoon!"
"You can prepare some wood carvings in advance and pretend that they were carved today, right?"
Next to him, Yamao Keisuke heard that Takehiko Muto was not in the hut, and immediately stood up eagerly, "If it were you, you could tell Hikawa that you want to talk about Mizuki and trick him into going to the snowfield in the back mountain! "
"Don't get excited! If you take action, we will have to arrest you!"
The detective from Niigata Prefecture quickly stopped between the two of them. After clarifying their interests, he looked at Yamao Keisuke and said, "Mr. Yamao, can you explain what happened just now more clearly?"
"This is not a secret, we all know it..."
Yamao Keisuke glanced at the girls and explained: "Hikawa proposed to Mizuki many years ago, but was rejected. However... Hikawa knew that he still misses Mizuki, so he only needs to carry water. If you name the tree, Glacier will definitely keep your appointment.”
"Hey! Does this matter have anything to do with Glacier's death?"
Takehiko Muto yelled: "Yamao! Please explain it clearly to me! Why do I have to kill Hikawa!"
"Isn't it because you have had many disputes over the relocation of the reservoir and the old village?"
Yamao Keisuke replied: "It's not just once or twice. It's not completely impossible that you will suddenly be unable to control your emotions and take action!"
"How ridiculous!"
Takehiko Muto gritted his teeth, "There is absolutely no way I would do such a thing!"
In other words, if the murderer was Yamao Keisuke, he could have used a similar reason to trick Hikawa Shogo into the snowfield in the back mountain...
Ye Gengyi has been watching with cold eyes.
After hearing Yamao Keisuke's self-destructive speech, he immediately started thinking and making associations.
After walking in the afternoon, Tono Mizuki's suspicion in his mind had been basically cleared.
In this way, based on the analysis of existing intelligence combined with probability, the biggest suspect who had reason and motive to kill Hikawa Shogo was only Yamao Keisuke among the four.
So, next... we just need to catch him.
Although Yamao Keisuke and Muto Takehiko had a heated argument, after a round of questioning, except for Tono Mizuki, who led the team to participate in the snow walking activity, the other three people did not have a clear alibi.
Because it remains to be verified whether Hikawa Shogo committed suicide, so at this stage, the police are unable to search the residences of Yamao Keisuke, Tachihara Fuyumi, and Muto Takehiko.
It is recommended that several people keep their mobile phones turned on. If there is nothing important in the past two days, they should not leave the village easily.
The Niigata Prefecture detective pulled the famous detective Mouri Kogoro to the corner again and asked him to call them in time if anything unusual was discovered during their return to the county.
To this, Mouri Kogoro naturally nodded in agreement.
Send the police away.
A group of people had dinner and gathered at a large table to discuss the aftermath of their fate.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen again. Brother Sarada, do you think the murderer is among the three of them?" Suzuki Sonoko was very panicked.
She secretly sent an email to Shiro Suzuki before and learned that the Suzuki Zaibatsu had indeed funded the construction of a reservoir for Kitazawa Village...
If the cause of Hikawa Shogo's death is really related to the reservoir, then how can his daughter, an investor,
Okay?
What a disaster!
"If the autopsy confirms that Hikawa Shogo was indeed killed by homicide, then the result that the murderer is among them is better than not being among them." Ye Gengyi said.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was startled and said she didn't understand.
"The police have visited the entire village and have basically ruled out the possibility of most people committing the crime. Assuming that the perpetrator is still hiding in the dark, it is more dangerous for everyone."
Ye Geng took a few sips of the coffee on the table and continued: "So... on the other hand, here you can start by guarding against a few of them."
Ha, ha ha... Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly.
She decided to sleep in the same bed as Xiaolan tonight!
"Brother Gengyi, who do you think is the most suspicious?" Conan took the opportunity to ask.
"Too many..." Ye Gengyi looked at the table.
Um?
Everyone was startled.
Conan looked thoughtful: "Brother Gengyi, do you mean that there is a lot of suspicion in each of them..."
"No, what I mean is that your kidneys are not good and you tend to urinate frequently. Drink less drinks and be careful about wetting the bed at night."
Ye Gengyi pointed to the juice in front of the other person, "This is the second cup."
Conan: "@#￥%……&*"
…
Return to the hotel room.
Ye Gengyi took out his laptop, dragged the mouse and started to view the three-dimensional topographic map of Beizhisawa Village.
In the early morning, because Yamao Keisuke suddenly woke up from his sleep, he did not have time to leave the self-degrading trackers on the two of them. At this time, he could only use coordinates and time to reverse their route.
Going forward according to the direction of Hikawa Shogo's face when he died, you will find Takehiko Muto's hut. However, if you exclude this interference and continue along the route, the final location will be Kitanozawa Reservoir.
"After the murderer finished killing people, he naturally couldn't swim through the canal to the other side, so he either hid in the forest and took a long way back to the village, or he went to the reservoir..."
Ye Gengyi continued to drag the mouse and draw a few guide lines on the map, but another idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
They don’t have wetsuits in their rooms…
According to my previous analysis, Yamao Keisuke chose to cooperate with Hikawa Shogo partly because he was imprisoned for eight years and his diving ability was rusty.
But now it seems that, not to mention that Hikawa Shogo is dead, even if his heart is still alive, it is impossible to complete the task of hunting for underwater treasures.
So when the little detective saw the two of them comparing the map of the old Kitanosawa Village in the office, looking for the location of Yamao Keisuke's house in the reservoir, was it to... blow up the gate of the reservoir?
