A rather unsuccessful inquiry.
As if Takagi Wataru had been rejected, he felt that the hot spring trip with Sato Miwako had completely come to nothing...
On the way back by car.
Takagi Sheba mumbled helplessly:
"It seems that the three of them have nothing to do with today's eucalyptus. But it's really strange... I heard that Mr. Yonggui was not such a person before..."
"You don't know much about serious things, but I hear you are very good at it. Have you considered quitting your job as a criminal police officer and becoming a reporter at a newspaper?" Ye Gengyi accurately complained.
"There's nothing I can do. I was just a child 20 years ago!"
Takagi Sheba sweated and explained:
"Besides, those things were not hearsay. They were told to me by the police department. He said that every time Mr. Yonggui remembered what his father said before his death, he would take the initiative to tell the police."
Ye Gengyi continued to add analysis: "Then... the murderer was not found for 20 years. He was disheartened and doubted the police's ability and credibility. Is it strange to show the attitude just now?"
Ah this... Takagi Wataru was speechless.
Yes, it’s not surprising that Nagai Nabei has this attitude...
Ye Gengyi used this question and answer to analyze the known intelligence and believed that the so-called copycat crime was unlikely.
He returned to the computer, opened the map of Miwa Town, and said: "Officer Takagi, tell me the home addresses of the three deceased people... It's not their relatives, it's the place where they lived before they were alive."
Conan came over and saw Ye Gengyi using a drawing tool to draw three standard circles on the map with three households as the center, and he immediately reacted.
Huh? It’s the crime circle…
yes! And this hand!
The so-called circle usually refers to a circular path composed of the crime location, the method of committing the crime, and the activity trajectory of the suspect or victim.
This path can be determined by surveying the scene, investigating evidence, and eyewitness testimony.
Although this circle is not omnipotent, for example, in this case of serial murders that spanned 20 years, even if you search all the junctions and non-junctions within the murder scene, you may not be able to find the murderer's logic.
But...going out for a party is different.
The three victims' homes are fixed, and they have the habit of going out every Saturday. The possibility of gathering at the same place in the same area is very high.
In this way, the police only need to integrate and analyze the information of places that can be gathered within the circle, and the police can find that place in a relatively short period of time and further collect more evidence related to the case.
So the screening scope is also the bathing centers, KTVs, bars, billiard halls and other entertainment venues here...
It would be nice if it could be more refined.
Conan looked at the intersection of several circles on the map and was still thinking.
Beside him, Ye Gengyi took a photo and sent it to Takagi Wataru, and then said directly: "Looking for a mahjong parlor."
Mahjong parlor?
Conan was startled... Although the uncle occasionally played mahjong and stayed away all night, but there are many entertainment venues that can keep people away all night, right?
Ahhhh!
It must be that after Brother Gengichi canceled the speakerphone, Officer Takagi mentioned some key content to him that could lead to this inference!
what exactly is it? I really want to know!
He turned to look at Haihara Ai with pleading eyes.
Haibara Ai pretended not to see it and ignored it completely... She was curious, but she was not so urgent that she had to know now.
"Mahjong parlor...that's right!"
On the phone, Takagi Wataru seemed to have remembered something and recalled:
"The police department also said that after the serial murderer killed Lawyer Nabei, Mr. Yonggui, who was still a child, not only heard the other party whistling the song "let it be", but also heard him saying, "Don't blame me!" You deserve to be punished by being fired. It's all because you insisted on finding fault with me that I was careless as if I was preparing to listen to cards, and the police gave me such a big scar..."
Where's the toothpaste?
"I have something important to do. You can investigate on your own." Ye Gengyi hung up the phone.
"Eh?! Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye?!" Takagi Wataru shouted eagerly toward the microphone, but the only response he received was a series of all-duo sounds...
…
In the study.
After Ye Gengyi hung up the phone, he looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past 8:30.
He took photos of the scientific research materials he had compiled and calculated and saved them into his mobile phone. After cleaning up the computer traces, he picked up the disposable cup and walked out with the finished coffee pot.
Conan followed.
(╥╯^╰╥)…Finally, it’s finally time to come out!
In the living room.
Three children were sitting on the carpet playing cards.
The trash can next to it was filled with snack bags and empty drink bottles, making people wonder whether they would be able to have dinner later...
And speaking of dinner…
Ye Gengyi asked: "Bumi, isn't your mother back yet?"
"Huh? Yes, let me ask."
Ayumi looked at the sky outside the window and ran to the landline to make a call.
A few minutes later, she came back and apologized:
"I'm sorry... The big dinner may have to be next time. Mom said that the work is not finished yet and she will not be back until later."
Suddenly I understood why these children always follow Conan to go crazy, but they are rarely blamed by their families...
Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment and asked, "Can I go to the kitchen and take a look?"
"sure!"
Ayumi happily agreed.
Conan: "..."
Hey hey! What about eucalyptus? Don't care? So, Brother Gengyi said before that the 'important thing' is eating? ? ?
…
The refrigerator is very empty.
1 carton of milk, 1 tomato, 4 eggs...
It is not difficult to see that before preparing to cook this big meal, Ayumi's mother was obviously prepared to go hungry if she was not full...
】
Immediately, Ye Gengyi opened the cupboard again. Fortunately, there was half a bag of rice.
It seems that these ingredients can only be used to make tomatoes, scrambled eggs and rice. Whether it is rich or not is secondary... The main problem is that the only three bags of instant coffee left by Bumei's family have been consumed by herself.
"How about going to the doctor's house?" Haihara Ai suggested.
"With some delay in cooking and eating, plus the consumption of a journey, it might be past 11 o'clock." Ye Gengyi said.
"It doesn't matter, tomorrow is Sunday anyway." Ayumi said.
Yuantai's eyes lit up: "How about we just stay at the doctor's house tonight and play video games together?"
Mitsuhiko echoed: "What a great idea! Just enough to finish the last racing game!"
Sunday again? Didn’t you just start school today?
Ye Gengyi thought for a moment and said, "Before that, let's call your parents first."
Anyway, he was too lazy to get involved in that incident, so he just continued to use taking care of these children as an excuse.
