"However, Miss Xiaoqiao is an only child. When our police officers went to her hometown to get photos, they also found out that her parents had passed away long ago, and there was only an elderly grandma in the family."
Here, Yui Uehara is still answering Conan's doubts.
Conan continued:
"What about the four men who lived here with the two of them before? If they are not relatives... I am afraid only familiar people will know that the door opens outwards and that there are many books in Miss Xiaobashi's room. Things... In other words, the murderer is most likely the actor Mr. Naoki Suikawa, the costume designer Mr. Yamabuki Shoji, the computer graphic designer Mr. Momose Takuto, and the music producer Naoki Shiro... right..."
He noticed the gazes of several people staring at him.
He sweated a little and hurriedly said in an exaggerated childlike voice:
"You think so too, Uncle Kogoro, Brother Genichi..."
"Uh...well, yes...right..." Mouri Kogoro was forced to become a tool.
"I see!"
Zhufu Gaoming looked at Mouri Kogoro, "Up to this point, we can be said to have the same views as heroes. Are you deliberately not saying this opinion because you feel that this level of reasoning does not need to be explained?"
"Uh, yes, that's it..." Mouri Kogoro couldn't deny it, so he could only answer it forcefully.
Conan covered his mouth and snickered, thinking that the detective from the New Field Department was very interesting.
"but……"
Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at Ye Gengyi and Mao Lilan again and said, "Sir, I originally thought that you and this lady were boyfriend and girlfriend, and you came here with the elders. Is it possible that you are also a detective? "
Conan: "..."
I'm starting to hate you...
"You misunderstood. I have a relationship with Brother Geng, which is not that kind of relationship." Mao Lilan hurriedly explained.
Mouri Kogoro glanced sideways and said, "If this boy Saraichi could smile more, I wouldn't have any problem with him."
Otherwise, my son-in-law would wear black clothes every day, his face would still be cold, and he would think he was dead...
Hey hey!
Conan is quite anxious... let's talk! What on earth do you want to do!
Ye Gengyi was completely unmoved and replied calmly:
"I'm not a detective... With Mr. Maori here, you don't need to worry too much about the reasoning behind the case. What I'm more concerned about is that exactly 2 hours, 47 minutes and 28 seconds have passed since we had dinner to 1 second ago. This The child didn’t go to the bathroom, which is really abnormal.”
】
He reached out and patted a certain detective kid on the head.
? ! ? !
Conan was shocked.
You don’t need to worry about this kind of thing at all, okay?
"Huh?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming cast an inquiring look, focusing on the pants of a certain detective boy, and asked: "Does this kid often go to the bathroom?"
Conan: "..."
Where do you see it? No urine!
"On and off."
Ye Gengyi asked: "Is it possible... Officer Zhufu, do you know a doctor in this field?"
"Ahem..." Zhu Fu Gaoming almost choked.
How should I answer this?
He noticed the gossipy look from Yui Uehara.
He touched his nose awkwardly, shook his head slowly and said, "No... I don't know much about this..."
"Hey! You guys..."
Yamato Gansuke couldn't bear it anymore, and just when he was about to scold the topic that was getting more and more biased, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When someone is on the phone, unless there is an emergency, it is basic courtesy to remain appropriately quiet.
Zhufu Gaoming decisively shut up and avoided the topic of 'andrology' in a rigid manner.
The environment has not completely calmed down yet.
Yamato Gansuke's somewhat annoyed shout echoed in the room again:
"What?! Really?...Okay, I understand. We will confirm it here. Anyway, you have to investigate it carefully for me over there!"
Then he hung up the phone.
"What happened, A-Gan... uh..."
Noticing that the other party's expression was extremely ugly, Uehara Yui quickly changed her words: "No, Officer Yamato."
"I didn't expect something like this to happen! The fingerprints on the inner door handle of this door and the fingerprints on the can of red spray paint in the room were all originally thought to be left by the victim Akashi Shusaku, but it turned out..."
Yamato Gansuke took a deep breath and said angrily to Zhufu Gaoming: "After the forensic officer from the headquarters compared the fingerprints of the corpse, it was found that the two did not match at all! The most incredible thing is that after After investigation, we found that those fingerprints were left by your subordinate, the criminal police officer who came with you that day! Now he has been called to the headquarters for questioning. "
"..."
Zhu Fu Gaoming recalled for a moment and said:
"I hope you won't blame him too much. After all, he is a new criminal police officer. It is probably the first time he has seen a corpse at a murder scene, so he accidentally touched many places..."
The witness was not one person, but two people... Or should I say that there was originally one person, but a clumsy 'scapegoat' was chosen to take the blame...
Ye Gengyi asked: "Why do you come here?"
"On my way back to the police station after investigating other cases, I specifically asked to come here..."
Zhu Fu Gaoming said calmly: "Because I want to offer a bunch of flowers in front of the warehouse here."
"What's your relationship with Xiaoqiao Aoi?" Ye Gengyi continued to ask.
"Well..." Zhu Fu Gaoming was still organizing his words.
Uehara Yui saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately said:
"Ah! I forgot to tell you before. Officer Yamato, Officer Morofushi, and Miss Kobashi who died here three years ago were classmates..."
Another pair of childhood sweethearts?
Or is it the kind that cannot be loved?
The suspicion is high... Ye Gengyi refused to comment and continued to stare at Zhu Fu Gaoming.
Zhufu Gaoming said:
"That day happened to be the anniversary of Xiaoqiao's death. When I was preparing to go back after offering flowers, I found paint scattered on the ground under the broken window. As a result, I rang the doorbell but didn't come out. Then I took my subordinates in inside the house and found the body locked in the room.”
He paused:
"However, I heard that the paint scattered outside the window had the victim's fingerprints on it."
It is said that?
Ye Gengyi was thoughtful.
I see, so... even though he was a detective and a witness at the beginning, he was still listed as a suspect because of his familiarity with the deceased...
Has the suspicion been cleared? Obviously impossible.
For a criminal police officer who has a motive to kill someone and excludes the option of having a strong background, the only way to completely clear the suspicion is to reveal the truth about the case.
In other words, the police currently only suspect Zhu Fu Gaoming, but have not yet found evidence of his crime. After imprisoning him in disguise for a period of time, they found that there was still no progress in the case, so they simply released him to monitor his movements.
...No wonder Yamato Gansuke received a call from the headquarters at this time.
Why are the fingerprints on the door handle and paint tube not those of the deceased... Shouldn't this kind of information be confirmed on the same day?
Choosing to provide it at this time is obviously to make Yamato dare to be more vigilant.
It seems that there is something wrong with this wise man... at least that's what the police in Nagano Prefecture think.
Hmm... But, the police in Nagano Prefecture?
Speaking of which, I don't know how long it has been since the Feng Lin Huanshan incident in the 'Ke Xue World', but there is no specific news about the collusion between the 'cops and robbers'...
In this way, compared to Megure Thirteen, who had cooperated with him many times, these complete strangers from Nagano Prefecture also had little trust.
