Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 137 Murder at :

Mihua Park.

As the sun set in the west, Fujiwara looked at the playing children and the sweetly interacting couples, and felt a sense of loneliness that he had not felt for a long time.

During New Year's Day some time ago, Fujiwara stayed at home alone until night without going out. Although he received a greeting card from Xiaolan, Fujiwara still felt a very sad feeling in his heart.

"..."

After sighing, Fujiwara took out a box of Skylark cigarettes from his pocket, took one in his mouth, and then lit it with the lighter that came from Gin.

"Bah~hoo~"

Breathing out a puff of green smoke, he picked up the lighter and played with it.

At this moment, two options suddenly popped up in front of Fujiwara:

"One, return the lighter to Gin. Completion reward: Totem of the Undying*1"

"Two, since you have taken it, it is yours. Completion reward: random skill point +1"

Seeing the obviously nonsensical question, Fujiwara chose, two, without hesitation.

[Intelligence +1]

After seeing the reward, Fujiwara couldn't complain, put out his cigarette, got up and left the park.

After returning to the office, Fujiwara saw a police car parked in front of the Mori Detective Agency.

"What happened again?"

It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, something will happen. But speaking of it, the original plot seems to have not appeared for a long time. If we go according to the order, which murder case should it be this time?

...

After entering, I happened to hear Officer Megure asking Conan about what happened last night.

Conan briefly described what happened last night to Officer Megure. As soon as he finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro interrupted, "Then why did Ms. Sawaki take the administrator to the deceased's room?"

Officer Megure glanced at Fujiwara who had just entered the door and said hello, and then said to Kogoro, "According to the police station that took over the case, Ms. Sawaki returned to the apartment at 8:30 last night and heard a loud noise. The TV at Mr. Ben’s house was very loud, and there was no response when he knocked on the door, so he found the administrator and went in.”

"When I entered, I saw Mr. Nakamoto lying on the ground."

Hearing these words from the dentist Miss Sawaki, Fujiwara remembered a case called the 7:30 pm murder case on Monday night.

I remember this case because the murderer used the technique of time and space montage, allowing the unknowing Bumi to inadvertently provide ironclad evidence to Dr. Ye Zi.

The reasoning in this episode is quite interesting, and Dr. Ye Zi’s motive for killing is also very reasonable, which is to avenge Nakamoto who once killed his brother.

Nakamoto's death was not unjust, and even deserved, but Dr. Ye Zi was miserable. The well-planned revenge action left flaws due to Ayumi's unintentional actions, and later in Conan's "Emotional and Reasonable" story. After being persuaded to reveal the truth, Dr. Ye Zi finally surrendered to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"It turns out that Conan came home late yesterday because he took Ayumi to the hospital..."

Fujiwara thought about what happened last night and figured out why Conan came back so late. However, what made him a little dissatisfied was that if Conan told Ayumi about sending Ayumi to the dentist yesterday, maybe he would be able to recall it. The plot of this case was to help her deal with the flaws in her actions, and even said that he could deal with such scumbags who were on the loose for her. After all, Tachibana Maya, the wire killer, is now his most loyal subordinate. As long as she is slightly disguised, no one will be able to find Sawaki's head even if they want to check afterwards.

Now that things have happened, it may be difficult to help her deal with the loopholes...

But there is no solution.

Officer Memu asked Conan a few more questions. While answering, Conan also understood why the other party came. It was probably because the police found out that Dr. Ye Zi had a motive for killing.

After he expressed his thoughts, Officer Megure nodded, "Well, to be honest, she did have a motive for the murder. The victim's name was Nakamoto Katsuhiko. He had been arrested in a village in Yamanashi Prefecture 26 years ago on suspicion of murder. The kidnapping and ticket-breaking incident was arrested and investigated by the Yamanashi Prefectural Police..."

"What? Kidnapping?" Hearing this, Kogoro Mori almost spit out the herbal tea he just drank. After wiping the corners of his mouth with the tissue handed over by Fujiwara, he asked Officer Megure to continue.

"The person who was kidnapped at the time was a nine-year-old boy named Sawaki Ryoichi. He also had a sister, Miss Sawaki Yoko, who was the first witness to the incident."

After saying this, Dr. Sawaki does have serious suspicions.

"But we asked her, and according to her, Dr. Ye Zi didn't know that Mr. Nakamoto next door was the kidnapper 26 years ago."

"It's too much of a coincidence to say so."

"Well, I came here today just to ask for your opinion. If possible, I would like to ask Brother Maori to assist us in investigating this case."

When Kogoro heard that the police took the initiative to ask for his help, he was quite proud. He grinned widely and said, "In that case, I can't just watch. Don't worry, I am Officer Megure who will not be stingy in helping."

"Officer Megure," Fujiwara interrupted at this time. After reading the news in this morning's newspaper, he probably already knew that the police must have gone to Megure's house. "You police cannot confirm that Dr. Ye Zi's suspicion is because of her." There’s a very reasonable alibi, right?”

"Yes, Brother Fujiwara, according to the time of death estimated by our police, the death time of the deceased was around 7:30 to 7:45 pm, but during this time period Yoshida Ayumi can prove that she has an alibi, according to what she said During this time, Doctor Ye is accompanying her to watch the Masked Superman cartoon that is broadcast at 7:30 every night."

"Yoshida Ayumi?" Kogoro touched his chin as he heard the somewhat familiar name and thought, "Could it be someone I know?"

"That's the little girl who often looks for Conan, Conan's classmate and rumored girlfriend."

Conan nodded after listening to Fujiwara's addition, but after realizing that Fujiwara imagined himself and Ayumi as a couple, he quickly waved his hands and said that he was not that kind of pervert and could not like elementary school students.

Of course no one paid any attention to him.

"As far as we know, Dr. Sawaki's private clinic is a 15-minute drive from the Yaiido apartment where she lives. If she drives back to the apartment alone, it will take at least 50 minutes to kill someone and come back, so if there is no Ayumi, If this testimony is given, Dr. Ye Zi will have ample time to commit the crime."

Regarding this kind of murder, Conan already had some guesses at this time. Many detective novels used montages on the murderer's killing methods to mislead everyone into concealing the true time of the murder. Many self-righteous alibi were based on the murderer's confusion. Everyone's correct guess on the time of death.

"Officer Megure, is the time of death really 7:30?"

"Yes, we have also checked this with Katsuhiko Nakamoto's subordinates. The time of death is very accurate and there is no problem."

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Fujiwara, and after receiving a positive reply, he stood up and said that he could go to Dr. Ye Zi to have a look, maybe he could make new discoveries.

"Okay, just do what Brother Maori said."
