Stay away from Conan.

Perhaps the person who took the photo didn't pay attention at all, but Gao Yuan intended to find new clues among the limited clues, but he still noticed some clues captured in the photo that were not easy to be found——

This is obviously a selfie of the deceased, holding the camera in front of him, and taking the photo he took.

And directly behind the picture, Gao Yuan saw a seaside cliff that was higher than where the woman was standing, and there seemed to be a black spot outside the cliff.

After enlarging the black spot as much as possible, the picture——

It seems to be a falling figure!

--"this……"

Looking at Gao Yuan's zoomed-in photo, Henggou Shenwu also noticed this detail in the photo, and said with some surprise:
"Did someone fall into the sea?"

Observing the scene captured in the photo, I found that it should be a high-lying seaside cliff.

In this way, if the scene in the photo is really someone falling off the cliff, then naturally it can only fall into the sea.

"When is this photo visible?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Henggou Sanwu hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple."

Gao Yuan replied affirmatively, and then very skillfully, he called up the detailed information of this digital photo, which contained the specific time when the photo was taken——

"This was taken yesterday... the night before yesterday."

Looking at the time displayed on the computer, it was past twelve o'clock in the morning, so Gao Yuan said the time of the day before yesterday, which was the day before he and others came to Izu.

Later, Gao Yuan checked other photos in the same way, and found that the photos that were copied into the computer from an external device at the same time were all taken during the night before yesterday. From this, it can be judged that the photo It is suspected that the photo of someone falling into the sea was taken at that time.

Since some of the photos can clearly see the scene of the fireworks display, so by analogy, the location of that photo should also be taken at the fireworks display, but——

"The day before yesterday, there was also a fireworks display here? Why does it look different from today's fireworks display?"

Frowning slightly, since Takato came to Izu yesterday, he could only ask the local people about what happened the day before yesterday.

As for this, after listening to Gao Yuan's inquiry and looking at the clues in front of him, Henggou couldn't help but said:
"Indeed, there was a fireworks display some distance away from here the night before yesterday, but the scale was not as grand as the one that just ended."

"Really……"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and then said:

"Although I'm not sure if this photo has anything to do with the murder of Miss Orimoto, but if someone really fell into the sea at the fireworks display the night before yesterday, I'm afraid the police still have to track it down...not to mention these photos now It should have been copied into the computer from a digital camera, but now this camera can't find it..."

Having said that, Gao Yuan continued to dig out the suspicious photo thoughtfully, zoomed in on the picture, and moved the focus to the top of the cliff——

Although the picture is very blurry, if you look at it as hard as possible, you can always feel that there seems to be a figure on the edge of the cliff.

"Hey... this can't be..."

Similarly, after realizing Gao Yuan's intention to do so, Henggou Sanwu also seemed to feel that, from the photo, there seemed to be a figure on the cliff, but due to the pixels, it couldn't be restored , so no accurate judgment can be made.

"I can't be sure, it's just a few pixels after all, I can't be sure what it is..."

Gao Yuan frowned and said:
"But if there is really someone in that location, then this figure who fell into the sea, I'm afraid..."

"It was pushed into the sea!"

His brows were deeply wrinkled, and Henggou Shenwu only felt more and more headaches——

Jiang Yuan Tokio's case of falling from a building has come to a stalemate, and the identity of the female deceased at the fireworks festival has just been confirmed, but it seems to involve an incident that happened the day before yesterday. This is really...

"Go and contact the police station near the venue of the fireworks display the day before yesterday, and see if there has been any report of someone falling into the sea since the night before yesterday!"

In desperation, Henggou Sanwu could only ask his police officers to try to investigate first, to see if there would be any relevant case reports——

Of course, if someone really fell into the sea and died, it is more likely that the body was swept away by the sea and never found again...

However, before the police officer who was ordered to contact him, Henggou Sango received a call from the Shizuoka Police Headquarters——

"What! A male corpse was found by the sea... According to the comparison of fingerprints on the corpse, it was confirmed that the deceased was a policeman!"

After receiving this call, Henggou Shenwu's face changed greatly and he said in surprise, then he looked at the suspicious photo that Gao Yuan found on the computer——

"Just now, the nearby police station reported an incident to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters. About an hour ago, a fisherman who went out to sea reported that the body of an unnamed adult male was salvaged at sea."

Putting down the phone, Henggou Sanwu said to Gao Yuan with a serious face:

"After receiving the report, the local police station conducted a preliminary inspection of the body, and basically determined that the deceased was drowned, and the time of death was about a day. Afterwards, the police extracted the fingerprints of the body and entered them into the database for comparison. Yes, I wanted to see if I could confirm the identity of the unnamed male corpse, but a comparison result appeared immediately, and it actually matched the fingerprints of a registered police officer. Therefore, the local police station reported the matter to the police This department, and I just got this news from this department."

Having said that, looking at that photo, the people present can almost completely connect these two things——

Floating corpses at sea, drowning death, death time is about one day...

All these information can be matched with this photo, no matter how you look at it, it is not a coincidence.

And more importantly, the identity of the deceased...

Registered police...

"Which police station is it?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a little strange——

If it was a local policeman who drowned in the sea, no matter what, the policemen belonging to the same area should more or less recognize it. There is no reason to say that it is an "unknown male corpse".

That's why Gao Yuan asked this question.

And Henggou Shenwu immediately replied:
"It's a criminal police officer from Chiba Prefecture. It looks like it might be a tourist here. But so far, I haven't confirmed it with the local area."

"Chiba Prefecture?"

Hearing the place name, Gao Yuan was slightly taken aback——

Chiba County, which is located on the northeast coast of Tokyo Bay, is an important city belonging to the Tokyo metropolitan area, but it seems that there are very few incidents related to that area in Conan's original works, so Gao Yuan can't remember the police in charge of Chiba County who.

But if I have to say something, when it comes to the Chiba County Police, in my impression, there seems to be such a person in an incident——

Moreover, this incident is the original "Sonoko's Summer Dangerous Story"!
In the incident in the original work, there was a middle-aged man in plain clothes who followed Conan and others, and because of the long hair on his arms, Xiaolan mistakenly thought that this man was the suspicious person who attacked the garden in the hotel .

But later, after Xiaolan and Conan managed to subdue the stalking man, Conan learned from the man that the other party's identity was the criminal police of Chiba County, and his purpose of following Xiaolan and others was actually It is suspected that the man who accosted Sonoko is the serial murderer of the brown-haired women!

Izu, the dead woman with brown hair, the Chiba prefectural detective...

There are more and more elements, is this really a coincidence?
Frowning slightly, Gao Yuan's expression became very serious, and he said to Henggou Sanwu:

"Can you contact the Chiba Police Headquarters immediately and ask them if they know the policeman who drowned in Izu, why did he come to Izu at this time?"

Regarding this, Henggou Sango also nodded silently with a serious expression, knowing the seriousness of the matter, so Henggou Sango immediately contacted the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters, hoping that Ma could contact the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Soon, Henggou Sango received a reply and got a call from the Chiba Police Headquarters.

Although it was early in the morning, the call to Chiba County was connected immediately.

After briefly explaining the situation, Henggou Shenwu quickly asked Gao Yuan what he wished he had asked, and got the answer——

That policeman came to Izu to track down a suspect in a certain incident—

"Beginning a few years ago, in Chiba Prefecture, three women were successively killed in a cruel way of repeatedly piercing their abdomen with a sharp weapon. Without exception, all three female victims had brown hair. And During the investigation, we noticed a suspect who may have committed these three homicides, and on the way to investigate him, we discovered that he had also committed the crime of stealing a car.

"However, after our careful investigation, although the incident of car theft has already taken shape, we still haven't found any evidence of the man committing the murder, so we can only temporarily arrest him for the car theft case.

"But he was not held for long. After he was released after serving his sentence, he left Chiba County without a trace.

"Recently, because I heard that a similar incident of a brown-haired woman was murdered in Izu, and the incident happened after that person was released from prison, that policeman thought of coming here to investigate. I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Henggou Shenwu turned on the hands-free phone, allowing Gao Yuan to hear the reply from the police officer in Chiba County to the question just now.

Upon hearing this familiar description of the incident, Gao Yuan couldn't help asking:
"Then, what is the name of the suspect you locked at that time!"

Hearing this, the police officer on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said as if thinking about it:

"Let me think about it... oh, the name is - Masahiko Michiwaki!"

"what!"

As soon as these words came out, Henggou Shenwu, who was originally just looking dignified, suddenly yelled in surprise. He really didn't expect this name to appear here.

As for Gao Yuan, he suddenly showed a look of understanding, and couldn't help saying:

"Is there a photo of that person? Is it convenient to pass it over?"

"Of course. When we find the file of the original incident, we will fax it to your police headquarters immediately!"

The police officer over there replied seriously.

As a result, the phone call was quickly hung up during the final polite conversation between Henggou Sanwu and the other party——

At this point, Henggou Shenwu couldn't help being surprised by the clues that appeared before him, and was a little at a loss for a while, but Gao Yuan immediately said:
"The policeman who fell into the sea and drowned the day before yesterday, and the victim who was killed at the fireworks display yesterday... This is definitely not a coincidence!"

"So, that Masahiko Michiwaki..."

Henggou Sanwu frowned, thinking about what to do.

"Because of the existence of this photo, although it is impossible to distinguish the physical characteristics of the person who fell into the sea from the photo, it at least illustrates one possibility—"

Gao Yuan continued:

"Maybe, because he realized that he was being followed by the police who had investigated him, in order to get rid of the other party, Michiwaki Masahiko chose to push the other party into the sea to drown, in order to create the illusion of an accident.

"However, it was a coincidence that someone happened to be taking pictures of him at the time of the attack, and the flash of the camera made him discover this. So worried that the photos would reveal the process of his attack, Masahiko Mowaki found this A photographer, and then tried to kill her, and took away the items on the deceased, which led to the incident at the fireworks festival——

"It just so happened that the photographer was a woman with brown hair, so he committed the incident by using the same method of killing women with brown hair that he always used to kill women with brown hair.

"After that, maybe he didn't find the camera on the deceased, so he used the key to enter the hotel room where the deceased was renting, took the camera, and accidentally left the key at the scene, so the current situation has already been established. "

In this way, Gao Yuan roughly analyzed the context of the matter.

After hearing this analysis, Henggou Sanwu nodded silently, feeling very reasonable——

After all, because of the existence of this suspicious photo, the two incidents were immediately connected...

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

But at this time, after looking at the photo carefully again, Henggou Shenwu seemed to realize something, and couldn't help asking:

"If you look at the shooting angle of this photo, the deceased was some distance away from the cliff at that time. Since the photo can't capture the scene on the cliff clearly, then even if it is said so, the murderer was flashed by a flashlight when he committed the crime. When we arrive, the murderer will not be able to see clearly who took the photo, so how could he find the deceased?"

"Because of the camera!"

Seriously, Gao Yuan explained:
"At the fireworks display, there should be very few people with cameras, right? Although I don't know why the deceased carried a camera at that time, there must be very few people with cameras at the fireworks display. Therefore, as long as the murderer finds the camera with The camera guy will do!"

——Speaking of this, although Gao Yuan felt that there were still many omissions in details in this analysis, at least the incident finally had some clues.

It's just that it's not clear whether Jiang Yuan Tokio's falling from a building will be related to the incident...
