The next day, the working day.
In the morning, Ye Gengyi received a call from Mu Mu Shisan.
The first thing we talked about was yesterday's bomb delivery. The investigation of the case went smoothly. The home delivery truck that was temporarily detained was able to deliver normally today.
The second is the murder that occurred during the fireworks show.
After changing their investigation thinking, the police started directly with the freight driver, and as expected, they found the driver who had witnessed Kodama Ryusuke and Sumida Akira near the murder scene.
As for the freight truck with the numbers '0' and '9' printed on it in Kobayashi Sumiko's testimony, it was actually a truck with 'OSAKAUNYU' printed on it, owned by the Osaka Smile Freight Company.
Since the walls on both sides of the alley are covering up, half of 'OS' will be mistakenly seen as a number.
It happened that Kodama Ryusuke and the deceased still had a debt relationship of 5 million yuan.
Now that the motive for the murder and witnesses are available, the police are preparing to arrest Kodama Ryusuke immediately.
"Anyway...this time it's all thanks to you again, brother Gengyi! Hahaha..."
He expressed his gratitude and shared the progress of the case.
Amidst a burst of hearty laughter, Mumu Shisan hung up the phone.
…
In the evening, Fox Delivery delivered the alloy material to your door.
Make sure the items are not damaged.
After Dr. A Li signed for it, he called Ye Geng to move the things to the basement.
A week later.
While Ye Gengyi was collecting reading and neuro-related research papers, he refined and fused the batch of materials according to his and Dr. A Li's needs for alloys, and supplemented some consumable props.
Time passes from workday to holiday again without realizing it.
One morning.
Haibara Ai was doing research in the room, and Dr. Ali was watching TV on the sofa.
Ye Gengyi happened to be passing by the living room with a pot of coffee, and suddenly the doorbell rang at the entrance.
"..."
I have a bad feeling...
Although the sensors left in the corner of the yard are 24-hour self-degradable, the main function of those props is to prevent intrusion, so unless there are special circumstances, he will not deliberately place such things at the main entrance that lacks cover.
"Who?"
On the sofa side, Dr. A Li has already responded.
"It's me!"
A dark voice came from outside the door.
Hattori Heiji……
This guy doesn't come to your door easily. He always brings a case when he comes...
As his thoughts flashed, Ye Gengyi went to the basement to save the data and shut down the equipment, then returned to the living room. Only then did he realize that in addition to Toyama and Ye, the people who came with Hattori Heiji also included Conan, Mouri Kogoro, Maori Ran... and , Police Department Otaki Goro of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters Investigation Section 1.
"Brother Gengyi, morning~"
Hattori Heiji greeted this way.
Judging from the situation, if Ye Gengyi came out more than ten seconds late, he would definitely go to the basement.
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly, put the coffee pot on the table, went to the kitchen and took out a few cups, and asked straightforwardly:
"Is there another case?"
"As expected of Saraichi! I knew you would be interested!" Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "The location this time is a secret room murder case that happened in Tokyo."
Why did you become blind at such a young age...
Ye Geng ignored Hattori Heiji who had an expression of "You ask, you should ask quickly" and poured himself a cup of coffee:
"Doctor, Mr. Mori, Officer Otaki, you guys talk, I'm going back to the bedroom first..."
? ? ?
But we are here to find you...
Hattori Heiji was startled and asked quickly: "Brother Sarada, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"
"Oh... not really. I just don't know why, but after seeing you, it suddenly felt dark again." Ye Gengyi said.
"Pfft...hahaha..."
Behind him, a group of people laughed wildly.
Hey hey!
What are you doing? What are you doing!
What's wrong with the darkness? Is your house exposed to the sun? Also, is this genetic?
A few less obvious black lines appeared on Hattori Heiji's forehead. He turned around and glared at a certain detective boy who not only laughed loudly but also acted extremely exaggeratedly.
Otaki Goro coughed lightly and came over to smooth things over:
"Mr. Ye, because the case we are investigating this time has been closed as a suicide at the Metropolitan Police Department, we are eager to use the wisdom of you and Detective Maori."
Check old cases?
Ye Gengyi heard some clues: "Have you contacted the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"Not yet...well, let me start from the beginning."
Otaki Goro thought about it for a moment and said:
"The story starts with a 70-year-old high school teacher named Kanzuki Shuri who lived in an apartment in Aipido Town a month ago. One of the students he taught was a student named Hitochi Kiriya. A man who had killed three people in Osaka and Kobe. We received a tip that someone had witnessed him in Tokyo, so we cooperated with the Metropolitan Police Department and searched the apartment of Kiriya Hitochi's acquaintances, including the high school teacher. To conduct surveillance..."
Hattori Heiji raised his eyes and spoke from the side:
"It was said that Kanzuki Shuri was the only one whom the unaccompanied Hitochi Kiriya could seek refuge with. But on the morning of the third day of the surveillance operation, Kanzuki Shuri, who was supposed to go out for a walk, unusually did not go out. The police Realizing that something was fishy, I went to check the situation, and found that the teacher had hanged himself with a rope through the central air-conditioning outlet in the living room..."
"It sounds like suicide, right?" Dr. Ali couldn't help but make a judgment.
"Well... it is indeed being treated as a suicide case. But... the toes of the body are too high from the ground,"
Otaki Goro stood up and gave everyone a reference:
"Probably just a little lower than my crotch."
"Also! The key is the chair that fell at the feet of the deceased! It's actually the same style as the chair in our kitchen!"
Toyama Kazuha added: "It was a limited-edition product, and it only had a single size. Even if it was placed in the hanging position of the deceased, the distance from the mat to his toes was more than 10 centimeters. In other words... the deceased was simply You didn’t hang yourself by stepping on that chair!”
"Since it was a case a month ago, are there any clues found in the investigation now?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No……"
Otaki Goro scratched his head:
"Because a lot of things happened after that residential surveillance. As you know, Mr. Ye, although it was proved to be a false alarm in the end, the Suzuki Consortium's airship incident still had a big impact on society. I also just recently I pulled away and found out that the hanging case had been closed as suicide by the Metropolitan Police."
"This case can be said to be full of doubts. It is said that the door of the deceased's apartment was not locked, and the police were always monitoring the area around the apartment. So if this case was a homicide, it would be like a secret room!"
Hattori Heiji said: "We have obtained permission from the victim's family. Brother Saraichi, please come with us!"
