"Police Yumaga, what's the situation?" When Sotakuya arrived at the scene, firefighters were doing fire-fighting operations.
The fire at the scene has been effectively controlled, and the next step is to put out the fire completely in one go.
Although there is no way to investigate the inside of the fire scene, the Gongchang Police Department of the Fire Criminal Investigation Department 1 has already investigated the surrounding situation.
It was at that time that Mori, Conan, and Osaka Kuroji were discovered.
"Chief Zong, there is a victim at the fire scene this time.
It has been determined that there are no vital signs, and the man lying on the body crying bitterly is the deceased's gentleman. "
Yunaga Police Department introduced the people related to the case to Sotakuya from a distance. In addition to the husband of the deceased who had been at the scene today, there was also a Feng Shui master who had an affair with the deceased.
He was also a college classmate of the deceased’s husband.
Then there is the deceased’s sister who sets up a fortune-telling stall in the square in front of Cupido-cho Station.
In addition to these three people, there was another person who had been on site today, a salesperson who looked timid.
Door-to-door sales.
The deceased's attitude towards him can be described as bad.
How to put it? If this salesperson was responsible for this arson case, it would really refresh Sou Takuya's outlook on things.
It’s not that sales can’t kill people.
The main reason is that the sales industry is destined to be an industry that requires resistance to pressure. No one likes unreasonable sales.
No one can guarantee that they are always in a calm state and can perfectly deal with all the trivialities and messiness in life.
When people are in a bad mood, untimely promotions can really make people feel emotional.
If salespeople want good performance, they inevitably need a strong heart.
You can’t choose what kind of clients you meet, but you can choose what kind of career you pursue.
If you can't stand the hardship of sales, you can choose other jobs.
There is no need to push yourself to the point where you have to kill people.
According to the past behavior of Kexue Mihua Town, there will inevitably be three suspects at the scene, giving the investigators a daily choice of three.
Now that Mouri Kogoro and others have eliminated the suspicion of the three suspects.
Then Mouri Kogoro, Conan and Hattori Heiji can just top it. (convinced)
"By the way, Section Chief, there is another more important clue - there are messy footprints outside a window on the first floor of the deceased's home at the scene.
We have reason to suspect that these footprints were left by the murderer when he committed the crime. "
"Where's the on-site surveillance?"
Unlike the other three arson sites, Aipado Town is adjacent to Mika Town and has a complete surveillance network.
The crime scene is where the power of technology can be used to narrow down the scope of some suspects.
"As soon as we arrived at the scene, we sought the assistance of the Pictorial Detective Department. The Pictorial Detective Department said that the only suspicious persons who had been in and out of the scene today were Maori and his three men."
As the Yumaga police officer spoke, he cast his disgusting eyes on the three of Mouri Kogoro.
Zong Takuya was thoughtful: "In that case, let's investigate the footprints outside the window at the scene. Maybe these footprints were left by the real murderer?"
The more Sotakuya talked about it, the paler Mouri Kogoro's face turned. Mouri Kogoro, who finally realized that it was impossible not to tell the truth, stopped Sotakuya who was about to enter the scene:
"That Officer Zong!"
"What's the matter, Mr. Mori?"
Maori blushed and said to Sotakuya in embarrassment: "A part of the footprints outside the window were actually left by us."
"Nani? Mr. Mori, you must not be familiar with the deceased. Why did you lead people to burn down the victim's home!" Zong Takuya looked in disbelief, which directly led to the murder of Kogoro Mori Feng Ping.
Fortunately, there are no reporters around the scene, otherwise tomorrow's news headline will be that Kogoro Mori transformed into the Moriarty of the Heisei era and committed criminal acts!
Mori didn't understand why he clearly said that the footprints were his, but in Sotakuya's ears it turned out that they were the ones who set the fire.
But for the sake of his own innocence, Mouri Kogoro still tried hard to explain his purpose to Sotakuya.
.
"I understand, that means that when Kuroji-san came to Tokyo, in addition to being kidnapped, he also cashed in a commission from Detective Kusukawa?
The last few days since my good guy came to Tokyo are not enough for you to keep busy."
Young people are young people, and they have energy that even Sotakuya envies.
After seeing Mouri Kogoro explaining the situation of the footprints, Sotakuya asked them to leave their own footprints so that the fire criminals could search the 1st series and compare them with the murderer's footprints.
Next, at Conan's suggestion, the group decided to go to the fortune-telling street in the square in front of Abedo Station to see what the deceased's sister was like.
"You said the relationship between the deceased and her sister was not very good?" Hattori Heiji, who was riding in Sotakuya's car on the road, told Conan about the meeting they saw between the deceased and her sister in the afternoon.
"That's not just bad, I feel it should be considered..." Hattori Heiji thought hard and thought of a more appropriate adjective:
"It should be a feeling of disgust or avoidance."
"But obviously the functions of Feng Shui masters and astrologers are similar?"
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel a little strange. Everyone was obviously a fortune teller and cheated money, so how come they were treated differently when they came to the deceased.
Zong Takuya smiled and said nothing.
So is a Feng Shui master just a Feng Shui master?
He was the lover of the deceased, so his treatment must be different from that of the sister with whom the relationship was not so harmonious.
Soon the group came to the fortune-telling street in the square in front of Cupido-machi Station, found the stall of the deceased's sister and told her the news of the victim's death.
As soon as the news was finished, the deceased's sister immediately covered her face and cried bitterly. Her cries were so heart-breaking that they came back a thousand times.
"Hey, are you sure that the relationship between the deceased and his sister was not good?" Sotakuya elbowed Hattori Heiji and said softly in an unintelligible voice.
"Um, but they clearly broke up on bad terms in the afternoon?"
Although Hattori Heiji felt strange, he was too embarrassed to open his mouth and ask why you were crying so hard now despite being so unhappy in the afternoon.
After the Yunaga Police Department asked about the alibi of the deceased's sister, the Yunaga Police Department found nothing unusual and walked out with Mouri Kogoro.
And just when the two people were walking farther and farther away, until they were about to disappear.
Gondo Izuko, the deceased's sister, who had tears streaming down her cheeks, suddenly changed from crying to laughing.
Although her crying continued, the smile on her face was unfailing.
You, guess why she was crying and laughing? !
"Hey~ Miss Gondo, why are you laughing?"
The sudden question made Gondo Izuko alert. The hand covering her eyes immediately revealed a gap, allowing her to see clearly the situation in front of the stall.
I saw that Sotakuya, Hattori Heiji and Conan who were supposed to leave together in front of the stall did not leave.
Sotakuya even looked at Gondo Izuko curiously. He also asked the question just now.
