lounge.
Hot tea and juice were quickly placed on the table.
Chi Feichi took the initiative to select the most peripheral position, leaving space for those involved in the event and the interested Koshimi Nanatsuki.
Shiratori Rensaburo entered work mode and became serious. He confirmed the situation of the discovery scene with Kobayashi Sumiko and the children, and put a photo on the table. "Let me confirm again. You saw the person lying on the ground at that time. This is Sumida Akira...right?"
Kobayashi Seiko confirmed that the person she saw was the person in the photo, and said seriously, "Although the fireworks were setting off so loudly that I couldn't hear clearly the content of the dispute in the alley, the prisoner is a woman! So I think it's the one who has been on the run recently. The female robber who committed the crime..."
"No, the robber was caught yesterday evening," Shiratori Rensaburo said in a gentle voice, "So it can't be her, but why are you sure the culprit is a woman?"
"Because I heard a female voice yelling, 'Hurry up, or I'll kill you,' and I saw the shadow of the murderer as he ran away," Kobayashi Sumiko recalled. "The breasts were very big. Her long hair was tied into a bunch on the back of her head and she also wore a hat..."
Next, Shiratori Rensaburo asked the five children if they had seen anyone or anything suspicious. However, he probably felt that it was useless for the children to ask. In addition, he also asked the questions last night, so his attitude was much more perfunctory.
However, Kobayashi Sumiko provided another clue: when the murderer ran away, a van was parked on the street behind him. It was blocked by the walls on both sides, but a large '09' was written on the van.
While they were talking, Kobayashi Chengzi stood up with an embarrassed look on her face, stammering and unable to speak clearly.
Ayumi saw that Kobayashi Chengzi wanted to go to the bathroom, and took the initiative to invite Kobayashi Chengzi to go with her.
Together with Haihara Ai, the three of them went to the bathroom first.
"It seems that our police are going to investigate the truck with '09' in the compartment. If the driver is there, maybe we will see the murderer..." Shiratori Rensaburo touched his chin to sort out his thoughts, and saw Chi Feichi who was lowering his head and playing with his teacup. He asked aloud, "Mr. Chi, have you and Miss Yueshui discovered anything?"
"Officer Shiratori, the victim..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the photos on the table and asked uncertainly, "Is she a woman?"
The person in the photo has short hair, a round face with a double chin, dull eyes under glasses, some acne on his cheeks, and a very stern expression. His eyebrows are upturned, and the corners of his mouth are pursed tightly. He has a broad build and wears a suit. At first glance, he looks like a man who is not good at talking.
"Ah?" Genta and Mitsuhiko were confused.
"Look at the direction of the buttons on the shirt, it's a women's shirt," Nanatsuki Koshimi stared at the photo, "But I'm not sure..."
"It is indeed a female," Shiratori Rensaburo said with a helpless smile, "We have investigated and learned that she herself seems to be angry because she is often mistaken for a male."
"Teacher Kobayashi entered the alley after hearing the argument and did not see the argument. So the female voice that Teacher Kobayashi heard from the argument could be her, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.
Chi Feichi raised his eyes and looked at Yuesui Nanatsuki.
Yueshui suddenly hit the point this time.
He remembered the truth of the case. The female voice that Kobayashi Sumiko heard was indeed that of the victim, and the murderer was a male. The reason why he saw the shadow of "big breasts" was because the murderer used his right hand to hold his left shoulder when he ran away. With her elbows in front of her body and the dim light, Kobayashi Sumiko thought about the female robber who had recently committed a crime, and subconsciously concluded that the murderer should be a woman.
"This..." Shiratori Rensaburo thought for a while, "That's right. The female voice that Teacher Xiaolin heard may come from the murderer or the victim. This needs to be confirmed."
"What does the victim do?" Conan asked.
"She opened a pawn shop," Shiratori Rensaburo said. "Because of her improper business methods, it seemed to have caused dissatisfaction among many people. The three suspects currently targeted by the police all had conflicts with her, and no one could do anything about it that night. Someone who gave them an alibi.”
"Can you tell me more about those three people?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked again.
Shiratori Rensaburo still did not hide anything and told the situation of the three suspects.
Kagaya Juna, a woman in her twenties, with short shoulder-length hair dyed yellow, heard from an employee who worked at a pawn shop that she once went to a pawn shop to pawn a ring. Due to overdue repayment and the ownership of the ring, she had issues with the deceased. We had more than one argument, we often went to the store to quarrel, and we were watching TV alone at home last night, and no one could testify.
Takimoto and his wife, both young women, have long black hair. They tied their hair up when they arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department in the morning. They said they usually dress like this. Their family seems to be rich. They once bought antiques at a pawn shop at a high price. I had a quarrel with the deceased over the authenticity of the antiques. Because I had a cold recently, I rested at home alone last night.
Kodama Ryusuke, a young man with shoulder-length black hair, once borrowed 5 million yen from the deceased. It seems that he never paid back the money. The deceased was chasing him for debts. The day before yesterday, the deceased went to Kodama Ryusuke's apartment to have a quarrel. , and last night, Kodama Ryusuke said that he was drunk at home alone, and no one could prove it.
"That's all we know now. Those three people have arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, and Officer Megure and Takagi are still questioning them further," Shiratori Rensaburo said, "The entire interview will be recorded. Send it here and let Teacher Xiaolin listen to it to see if you can recognize the female voice you heard last night. If you want to know more details, you can listen to the recording then."
"Could it be Miss Takimoto?" Gentai asked thoughtfully, "Among the three of them, she is the only one with long hair. Although she wore her hair in a bun when she came to the Metropolitan Police Department, she might have tied her hair in a bun when she committed the murder last night. Behind."
"It could also be Miss Kadani," Mitsuhiko said seriously, touching his chin, "She can cut off her long hair after killing someone, right?"
"In that case, Mr. Kodama is also possible. He could wear a wig, or he could have long hair and cut it off after committing the crime. Of course, he is not a woman. It seems to be inconsistent with Mr. Xiaolin's testimony," Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought for a while, raised his eyes and asked Shiratori Rensaburo, "What are the body types of the three of them?"
Shiratori Rensaburo was startled. He knew that Nanatsuki Koshizui was confirming the feature of "the suspect has large breasts". He recalled that he was as detailed as possible, "Miss Kadani and Miss Takimoto are about the same height, and they are considered to be above average height among women." , should be a little taller than Ms. Koshimizu, and she is also on the thin side. As for breasts... well, they look similar to me, and it's hard to tell what level of 'big' Teacher Xiaolin means."
Koshizui Nanatsuki became more and more embarrassed when he saw Shiratori Rensaburo talking more and more, "Yeah, that's right, only Mr. Kobayashi knows the details, but since the two female suspects are similar, I don't think there is a need to go into detail in this aspect. "
Chi Feichi raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and continued to stare at the tea in the teacup.
Now that we are getting down to business, how can we feel shy about this difference in male and female characteristics?
Shouldn’t all information be treated as data and analyzed rationally and fairly?
Shiratori is so unprofessional.
If we want to analyze it, the 'degree' that Teacher Xiaolin sees should be D.
When making a judgment, the situation of the witness, Mr. Xiaolin, must be considered.
Teacher Xiao Lin wears loose clothes and looks similar to Yueshui. My initial guess is that it should be B.
Based on the thoughts of the parties concerned, if it is A, the light is dim and the clothes are on, it may be difficult for Teacher Xiaolin to determine whether it is a woman. If it is in the range of B-C, Teacher Xiaolin's testimony will probably be, "The murderer is a woman." "I saw breasts." If it was EFG, then the testimony would probably add a modified description like "surprisingly big." If Teacher Xiaolin said "very big," that would be D.
If the testimony came from Belmode, then we might have to reconsider.
Therefore, if this type of testimony is from a male, it should be considered based on the cognition of most men. If it is a female testimony, it should be judged based on the woman's own situation.
But since these people felt embarrassed, there was no need for him to say it. Anyway, big breasts and small breasts had nothing to do with the truth of this incident.
"The voice heard by Teacher Xiaolin may be that of the victim, and the hair can be wigged or cut off afterwards. In addition, there is not much difference in the body shape of the two female suspects. In other words, Teacher Xiaolin's current testimony is not enough to screen. Bring out the prisoner..." Conan thought, then looked at Shiratori Rensaburo, "Officer Shiratori, what are the occupations of the three of them?"
"All three of them are fairly famous," Shiratori Rensaburo recalled. "Mr. Kodama was once a very promising young baseball player in Koshien. Unfortunately, he injured his shoulder and was not selected as a professional player. Now he is working in a cowherd family. He works in a club and heard from his neighbors that he has not given up his baseball dream and occasionally goes to the baseball club, but recently his shoulder seems to be completely unable to swing the bat. Ms. Takimoto runs a small restaurant by herself, but she is the daughter of a wealthy family. That’s why she spent a lot of money to buy the antiques mentioned by the victim without asking anyone to appraise them; Miss Kadani is a freelancer, but she is also the former leader of the Ladies drag racing clan. She was revoked because of a car accident not long ago. drving license."
"The leader of the Ladies..." Mitsuhiko sweated.
"Yes, she used to be able to summon hundreds of people at will, but now she is no longer the leader." Shiratori Rensaburo smiled and reassured.
Yuantai imagined a silhouette of a ferocious woman furious, "However, after such a person is provoked, he would want to teach him a lesson, right?"
"Probably so," Shiratori Rensaburo smiled helplessly, "She heard that Miss Sumida was dead, and she said she was very relieved."
Seeing Chi Feichi sitting in the corner looking like an autistic person, Conan asked aloud, "Brother Chi, where are you? Have you thought of anything?"
Seeing other people looking over, Chi Fei thought it was time to turn over the table. He looked up at Shiratori Rensaburo and said, "First of all, call Ms. Sumida's landline phone at her shop or home. Maybe there will be a recording of the call answer and tell her Let Mr. Xiaolin listen to the voices together and confirm whether the voice heard by Mr. Xiaolin belongs to the victim or the murderer."
Shiratori Rensaburo nodded seriously, "I'll try to make a call soon. If there is an answering machine recording, I will transcribe the voice. Even if there is not, our police will look for Ms. Sumida's usual recordings. Let Teacher Xiaolin listen."
"Secondly, don't ignore the male suspect. As you said, the hair can be worn with a wig or cut off afterwards," Chi Feichi sat on the chair and turned slightly sideways, raised his right hand and put it on his left shoulder, his eyes calmly said, "If you have shoulder pain, just press your hand on your shoulder. In a dimly lit environment, Teacher Xiaolin may see it wrong."
