"Hey, Sister Yuanzi, where did your ring come from?"
But at this moment, Conan suddenly stared at the ring on Suzuki Sonoko's hand and asked, "This ring seems to be exactly the same as the rings worn by the three victims in the photo. "
"What?"
This discovery immediately attracted the attention of Officer Memu and others, who turned around to take a closer look.
This is really the case.
"Sonoko, where did your ring come from?"
"Hey...this is from the department store Xiaolan and I went to today. It was given as a gift for every purchase we made during an event."
Suzuki Sonoko replied.
"So, is it possible that the real thing these three victims have in common is that they were all customers who made purchases at that department store and received gifts?"
Zuo Ye also took a look at the photo.
...Tsk, I was so attracted by the superficial "dark skin" feature that I didn't even notice such a not too hidden detail.
Zuo Ye frowned, but soon relaxed again.
This is what Conan the Tool Man is all about.
Before several people could discuss this new discovery, Suzuki Sonoko received a call from Mao Lilan... The two best friends originally went shopping in a department store together.
Just because Mao Lilan had a stomachache and went to the toilet, Suzuki Sonoko came back first.
As a result, Mao Lilan actually got lost in the underground parking lot and couldn't find the exit, so she called Suzuki Sonoko... despite the screams that soon came from the phone.
Zuo Ye understood that the incident had officially begun.
Soon, Zuoye followed the large troops and arrived at the underground garage of the department store where Mao Lilan was located. Fortunately, it was not far away, and it could even be said to be quite close.
It not only saved Zuo Ye trouble, but also saved Mao Lilan some face... Otherwise, Suzuki Sonoko, who had left her best friend behind just because she went to the toilet, and retreated first, might have felt embarrassed.
Back to the topic.
As expected, the fourth victim was also a hot girl.
It's just different from before.
This time the victim was not just attacked, but killed.
The seriousness of the matter suddenly soared. Officer Memu and others also quickly launched an investigation, and Mao Lilan, who was the first discoverer of the body.
Naturally, it has become a top priority.
After some "insignificant" things, the situation gradually emerged in front of Zuo Ye.
The victim's name is Ranze Tae, 20 years old. She happened to be a staff member of this department store a year ago, but was fired later and has not yet found a job.
Belongs to the homeless.
As for the suspects, there are four.
The first one is named Shirakawa Noriyuki, who is the boyfriend of the victim. It is said that the two had originally made an appointment to meet in a department store today. In addition, his other identity happens to be the son of the owner of the department store.
A second-generation rich man is not the kind to sit back and rest on his laurels.
Noriyuki Shirakawa worked as a chef in the restaurant of this guy's department store, and it was precisely because of this that the deceased was introduced to work here a year ago.
The second one is Yuri Amanano, a waiter in the restaurant where Noriyuki Shirakawa works, and his classmate in college. The two are considered good friends.
...Well, a taste of love, hatred and hatred has come out.
The third one is called Deposit Fang Xiong, a guard in the parking lot. He was picked out from the crowd by the witness Mao Lilan. According to what he said, he happened to go to the toilet at that time, so he didn’t know. situation.
Then the fourth suspect, Noriyuki Shirakawa's father, the boss of the department store, jumped out and said that the third suspect, Jin Fangxiong, was the murderer. The evidence was that the other party was in his family a year ago. A security guard from a rival company jumped here just to ruin his reputation or something.
Finally, there is another clue that may be useful.
Noriyuki Shirakawa's father called the deceased "a woman with a bad record."
After Maori Kogoro's inquiry, Shirakawa Noriyuki gave the answer. It turned out that the deceased had caused a traffic accident in this parking lot a year ago.
Knocked a little boy to death.
It was precisely because of this incident that the deceased was fired.
"By the way, Mr. Shirakawa, may I ask how tall your father is?"
Mouri Kogoro asked again, and the answer he got was about one hundred and fifty centimeters.
In addition, Mouri Kogoro also asked about the heights of the other three people.
Noriyuki Shirakawa's height is 1,73.
Akano Yuri's height is 144.
The height of Fang Xiong, who paid the deposit, is 167.
...I never noticed before that these three people are not very tall, especially the woman in the middle.
Zuo Ye withdrew his gaze. Of course he did not discriminate against height, especially although his body was very tall, but he was only a little taller than Shirakawa Noriyuki in his previous life, and maybe he was hunched over when he was lazy.
He might even look shorter than the other person.
But the height of a little over 14 is really a bit outrageous.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, no one can blame it.
Well, turning our attention back to business, the reason why Mouri Kogoro is so focused on height is because in the testimonies provided by the three previous victims, it was mentioned that the suspect's height is about the same as them, that is, about 1.5 meters.
Among the four people who are suspected here, if the woman is excluded, then the person with the greatest suspicion will naturally become the company boss.
Although in Zuo Ye's view, this is a particularly obvious directional clue.
They are generally shit stirrers.
But sometimes you can follow the stick and find the person holding the stick.
Next, after Noriyuki Shirakawa learned about the clue about his height, he suddenly cursed Officer Megure with excitement and said something.
There are clues but no one can be caught. They were the ones who caused the death of the deceased. The police are just a bunch of losers.
This made Officer De Mu Mu look extremely ugly.
It’s just that Zuoye originally thought that Officer Megure was in a bad mood because he was scolded, but in the end, the guy almost fell to the ground, covering his head in pain, making this piece of equipment seem less ordinary again. stand up.
Is this post-traumatic stress?
Officer Memu has encountered such cases before and failed to solve them, or paid a huge and painful price. Is that why this happened?
Zuo Ye glanced thoughtfully, and Conan, who also looked thoughtfully at Officer Megure, thought of the eucalyptus that Mouri Kogoro mentioned earlier.
Well, it's very possible.
Then, after Akano Yuri apologized for Shirakawa Noriyuki, he left with the other party, and Jin Fangxiong also returned to work. The situation seemed to be about to come to a standstill, but at this moment Conan made another move based on the previous three. A photo of the victim provided a new clue - the car.
Because the second victim was wearing very thin clothes and ended up falling in a very cold toilet, Conan suspected that she had just left a warm place and would return soon, such as a car with air conditioning on. .
The first and third victims also just got out of the car before being attacked.
Is the key point about the car?
Zuo Ye quickly thought of the traffic accident involving the deceased and approached Officer Megure.
"Go and investigate those four suspects to see if they have any family members or friends or loved ones who died in traffic accidents."
"Why?"
Officer Megure was stunned for a moment. Just when Zuoye thought he didn't understand the reason, the other party actually asked another question: "Four suspects, which four are they, where are the suspects, are there any suspects, why don't I Know?"
Zuo Ye: "..."
He forgot that Officer Megure was not himself.
...The "suspect" Zuo Ye mentioned is not actually a suspect, but he only added this character from his own perspective.
In the eyes of others, those people may also feel suspicious.
But he would never be called a suspect.
Otherwise, Officer Memu would not have let those people leave so easily.
After gathering his thoughts for a while, Zuoye spoke to Officer Megure in more detail.
