"Are you thinking too much?"
Fujino glanced at Mio Tokiwa speechlessly: "It's only 35 million yen. I can't commit murder for such a trivial matter. I can't commit it."
"Didn't you do it?"
Tokiwa Mio was stunned for a moment, looking straight at Fujino, and suddenly her hope rekindled.
Fujino glanced at Mio Tokiwa as if he were a fool: "I didn't say I killed someone. You don't really think I killed someone, do you?"
"Ahem."
Mio Tokiwa's expression softened again, with a hint of color, and she complained: "Don't make such a joke, it will scare people to death!"
"Am I kidding..."
Fujino curled his lips: "I'm just saying what I think. Why do you think I killed him?"
"Obviously you just said that yesterday!"
Mio Tokiwa said angrily, "Can I not think about that?"
"I was just making a bet. Do you care too much about what I say?"
Fujino suddenly remembered this matter and continued: "But since the other person is indeed dead now, there is no need to investigate. The commission money should be given to me, right?"
Tokiwa Mio: "..."
Why do I feel like you killed that person?
After all, Fujino's predictions were so accurate.
In addition, there are entangled interests here, and they are so anxious to get the entrustment money.
It is difficult not to make people suspect that there is some secret operation behind it.
"Miss Tokiwa, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Fujino raised his eyes and glanced at Mio Tokiwa, who had a strange expression and said nothing, and frowned: "Although I didn't kill the person, Miss Tokiwa, you don't want to either..."
"Stop it!"
Mio Tokiwa said harshly, interrupting Fujino to continue.
She felt that the detective looked so skilled, he must have done this a lot before!
If you continue, you might be blackmailed and threatened with taking something valuable away...
Besides, she had no intention of defaulting on her debt.
No matter how you say it, the problem is solved. It's just money. For a person of her level, it's just an extraneous thing.
So she felt a little tired and pinched her eyebrows, lowered her head and sighed: "There is no need for you to threaten me. Of course I will pay the commission, but I am a little curious, how did you know that guy will die?" ?”
"Do you believe me when I say I can predict the future?"
Fujino chuckled, looked at Mio Tokiwa and said meaningfully.
"..."
Mio Tokiwa showed an expression like "Do you think I'm mentally retarded?" and glanced at Fujino faintly.
I always felt like this kid was teasing me just now.
"This is just a basic prediction. In fact, I didn't expect him to die. People like this usually have many enemies. The crime rate in Tokyo is generally high, especially for members of Congress like him. , I think it’s just a matter of time before he is killed.”
Seeing this, Fujino stopped teasing the female president. After thinking for a while, he made up a reason and explained: "It's not like I haven't encountered the entrusted target being followed being killed before, but this time it happened just after I finished telling you. The day after, I was just stabbed by a righteous rice flower man... Otherwise, do you think I would kill someone myself, or stab the little paper man to death for him?"
"So this is ah……"
Mio Tokiwa breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If this was the case, it would be much more reasonable.
After all, it's really unreasonable for a detective to kill someone. If it was just a random bet, it would be possible to win... The crime rate in Tokyo is indeed quite high.
After retracting her thoughts, she whispered: "I will be ready to give you the 35 million in a few days. After all, it is not a small amount of money. No matter what, I have to wait for this storm to pass first."
"no problem."
Fujino didn't have anything to say. After all, this man had just died. If Mio Tokiwa took out 30 million at this time, someone would definitely find out, which would cause trouble for both parties.
Will you say that then?
Although it can be fooled by using support and the like.
But it is indeed not a small trouble.
…………
After leaving the Joban Twin Towers, Fujino drove back to 5-chome and spoke to Mori Kogoro and his family. Then he picked up Xiao Ai and went to Dr. Agasa's house. He took the few people who were playing at Dr. Agasa's house with him. Rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.
At this time, in the Metropolitan Police Department, the people mentioned earlier had already arrived, made notes and left. When Fujino and his team arrived, they were already too late.
Miwako Sato brought a group of people to the conference room of the Metropolitan Police Investigation Section 1.
However, she did not participate in the explanation of this case. It seemed that there were other cases that needed to be investigated.
Receiving Fujino and his party were Shiratori Rensaburo, Megure Jusan, and Chiba Kazanobu.
Megure Thirteen posted the suspect's photo on the whiteboard and asked Chiba Kazunobu, who was not so fat now, to explain the case.
Mouri Kogoro understood immediately. He pointed directly at the photo of Hara Jiaming on the white board in the conference room and shouted: "The small porcelain cup transliterates chocolate. The prisoner is definitely Hara Jiaming who loves chocolate!"
"..."
Everyone present was silent for a while, obviously they did not dare to agree with Uncle Maori's conjecture.
"Ahem, in the transcript of our investigation just now, only Yuan Jiaming has an alibi."
Megure Thirteen couldn't stand it anymore and refuted Mouri Kogoro's statement with a slight cough.
Yuantai suddenly thought of a joke with similar pronunciation: "If the small porcelain cup is chocolate, doesn't it refer to a daredevil?"
"If this is the case, then the most likely person is Mr. Mori."
Shiratori Rensaburo sat in the front position on the left, looked at Mouri Kogoro and said meaningfully.
"Hey!"
Mouri Kogoro panicked: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I was just joking."
Shiratori's expression softened a little.
"This guy...is a bit sinister."
Fujino glanced at the two of them, raised his head, looked at Megure Thirteen and said, "Brother, don't be so pretentious, please tell me what clues the transcripts revealed this time."
"We didn't find much through the transcript investigation."
Memu Shisan shook his head: "Although the city councilor who was killed this time was only a councilor, it seemed that his real power was greater than that of the mayor. In addition to the suspects he already knew, he probably also had many enemies. If the enemies came to visit Come to seek revenge.”
"For example, this is the Twin Towers project."
Shiratori Rensaburo thought: "This time, this project was successfully completed because he changed the regulations prohibiting the construction of super-tall buildings and gave the green light to the Joban Group all the way... As for the reason, it is unknown."
"Then this case will be troublesome."
Fujino nodded: "If the investigation reaches the end and involves the overt and covert fights between those at the top, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. In the end, I may even encounter a situation where the villain is myself."
The topic suddenly became sensitive, but Megure Thirteen agreed with Fujino's statement.
After all, he didn't dare to conduct an in-depth investigation into the counselor's interpersonal relationships.
If it happens that the investigation directly leads to a high-level person, even he will not feel comfortable.
Therefore, the target of the investigation can only return to the first few suspects.
Mio Tokiwa lived on the 68th floor and became the main suspect. Hidehiko Kazama was not very suspicious, while Chinami Sawaguchi was suspicious that her father died of overwork while investigating a corruption incident a few years ago.
As for Ruyue Fengshui, it was a normal operation and was cleverly ignored because there was no connection.
Fujino said he was an expert at this operation.
And Conan has been in a sensitive state because he met the Porsche 356A a few days ago. From the small porcelain cup, to the small wine glass, and finally to wine, he not only felt a chill.
Thinking of this, his face became much heavier and he asked Huiyuan Ai on the side: "Hey, Huiyuan, could it be those guys..."
