My tenants are monsters

The Matsumoto couple died in a car accident, and the Sakata couple disappeared and died...

Although the two incidents occurred nearly ten years apart, they were very similar in nature.

"Before the Matsumotos died, the company was owned by both Sakata and Matsumoto, but after the car accident, Sakata Hiroshi became the actual helm of the company. If the Sakatas survived, then the future of this industry must belong to the Sakatas. , Matsumoto Yoshiyasu wants to be in power, he must get rid of this couple..."

Bai Shilin's eyes flickered, and he gradually connected these photos with the contents of the newspaper clippings. He was about to look for other clues, when he suddenly felt a light and shadow shaking around him, but it was Mr. Gu Chuan who didn't know when. She turned her head slightly, and looked at her with a pair of eyes.

"This direction..."

Are you looking at the "Matsumoto Yoshiyasu" circled in red?

No wonder Mr. Gu Chuan still has a little residual consciousness, what does he want to tell himself?

Bai Shilin followed the private detective's line of sight, glanced at the blackboard, thought for a while, looked at the ghost, and asked word by word:

"Is it Hiroshi Sakata who killed you?"

"..."

No response.

"The person who killed you was Matsumoto Yoshiyasu?"

This time, there was a slight change in the breath of Mrs. Gu Chuan's body, and fine blood streaks gradually rose from the dagger stuck in his chest, and a faint smell of blood radiated to the surroundings.

These changes are very subtle, if Shiraishi Rin hadn't been staring intently, he might have missed it directly.

"It seems that Matsumoto Yoshiyasu is probably the murderer..."

Shiraishi Rin asked a few more questions, and after confirming that Mrs. Gu Chuan only responded to this name, he made a judgment.

Then he turned around again, looked at the hardcover books on the latter's desk for a while, and learned more about the situation.

The situation of Matsumoto and Sakata is a little bit special.

To put it simply, Matsumoto Yoshiyasu's parents and Sakata Hiroshi were originally business partners.

Both parties were originally fishermen in the Sumida River area, and they supported their families by selling aquatic products. At the end of the last century, they jointly founded an aquatic product company, which is mainly engaged in the retail of aquatic products.

Because of the proper business strategy, high quality and low price, the business was once very impressive.

About eight years ago, the Matsumotos died in an unexpected accident.

After that, Hiroshi Sakata took Matsumoto Yoshiyasu, who was only [-] or [-] years old at the time, into his home and paid for his living and schooling expenses.The relationship between the two is actually a bit similar to adoptive father and son, but they have not gone through the relevant procedures.

With the support of Hiroshi Sakata, Yoshiyasu Matsumoto finished university and joined the company after graduation. In five or six years, he became the management of the company from an ordinary employee and became Hiroshi Sakata's right-hand man.

Volume 11: Chapter [-] The Smell of Blood

On the surface, the relationship between the adoptive father and son is harmonious.

However, in the investigation by Kou Chuan, Matsumoto Yoshiyasu took 300 million yen from several different banks three times within a month after the Sakatas were killed.Then I met a mysterious person in a small restaurant in Adachi District.

This scene was secretly photographed by Mrs. Gu Chuan.

This piece of information is just a sentence in the hardcover book.

But Rin Shiraishi didn't see the candid photo, it may have been given to Hiroshi Sakata by him.

As for Matsumoto Yoshiyasu's motive for the murder, Koukawa Koufu did not clearly state it in his notes, but Shiraishi Rin can probably guess it based on what he already knows now-I am afraid that it was because of the car accident eight years ago.

After the death of the Matsumotos, Hiroshi Sakata was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

Therefore, in Matsumoto Yoshiyasu's view, the car accident was probably planned by Hiroshi Sakata, so he killed the Sakata couple in order to avenge the latter's crime of "killing" his parents.Maybe he wanted to continue killing Hiroshi Sakata, but he just didn't find the right time.

As for Mr. Gu Chuan, he was retaliated for discovering the truth.

The clues are basically strung together.

As for whether the death of the Matsumoto couple was related to Hiroshi Sakata, it cannot be seen from the existing information.

And this has nothing to do with Shiraishi Rin's mission, it is not the focus of her concern, so the next question to consider is...

If Mr. Gu Chuan was silenced by Matsumoto Yoshiyasu because he discovered the truth about the murder, then where was his death place and where was his body transported?

After making the judgment of the truth of Kou Chuan's death, Shiraishi Rin did not receive a reminder that the task was completed.

From this point of view, just guessing the identity of the murderer does not meet the conditions for completing the task, and one must find a way to contact the police to hunt down the real murderer.

But there is no body, no witnesses, and even the time and place of the killing are not clear. In this case, it is impossible to tell the police.

Rin Shiraishi pondered for a while, and then began to look for Hiroshi Sakata's contact information in the notes, as well as the address that might be the place where the crime happened.

Judging from the information marked with a red marker on the newspaper clipping, the address of the fishery company and the first scene of the murder of the Sakata couple are all in Adachi District, which is a neighboring district of Arakawa District.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the meeting place between Kou Chuan and Hiroshi Sakata is somewhere between the Shiraishi apartment and the fishery company.

But on this route, there are many cafes and western restaurants where you can meet, and the two may even meet directly in a car parked on the side of the road, so it is impossible to investigate and screen them one by one.Unless you can get the surveillance video of the road along the way from the official.

"We can only start with Hiroshi Sakata..."

Just when Rin Shiraishi was about to turn on his mobile phone and check the contact information of Hiroshi Sakata on the official website of the fishery company, Yoshie Ogino, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"If Mr. Gu Chuan really turned into a ghost and came back here, then the place of his death should not be far from the apartment, right?"

"Ok?"

Shiraishi Rin looked back at the mother.

Under her gaze, she saw Yoshie Ogino smiling slightly, and said seemingly inadvertently:

"I've heard... from some folklore books that the souls of dead people are usually not too far away from their bodies or the place of death. That's why there is the saying of 'earth-bound spirit'. If The place where Mr. Gu Chuan died was in another area, so his soul should also stay in that area, and he would not have traveled such a long distance back to the apartment.

If he could come back, it would mean that the place where he was killed was near Shiraishi's apartment.

Near the intersection of the convenience store, there seems to be a small park, right?

It is relatively hidden there, and there are no surveillance cameras around. Even if something happens, it will not attract the attention of others. Could it be that the first place where Mr. Gu Chuan was killed is there? "

"possible……"

Rin Shiraishi nodded, thinking that there was nothing else to do anyway, why not go and see what Ogino Yoshie said, and if something really happened, call the police as soon as possible.

But still need to prepare.

Although it is broad daylight and it is not far from my home, if the situation is unknown, I must carry some self-defense tools.

"Mrs. Fanghui, I want to go out and verify your guess. Please stay here and help me take a look at the scene. Don't let other people come in and destroy it..."

In fact, the chance of this situation is very small. After all, no one except Shiraishi Rin can see Xiaofu Guchuan's ghost. If the murderer killed Xiaofu Guchuan last night or when, then he should have left by now. It is unlikely that the White Rock apartment will ever be found again.

As for the original tenant in the apartment...

Mimiko Mizunuma, another tenant who lives on the second floor, is a senior homestay girl. Shiraishi Rin has been in the apartment for nearly two months, and basically has not seen her in the building a few times, and even the takeaway is delivered directly to the door. .The information form is filled with "freelancer", but judging by her housework, she probably draws comics or works as a vtb anchor, and it is impossible for her to be interested in this kind of murder...

"No, let's go together. This way we can take care of each other if we encounter danger.

For the apartment, we can lock the door first. After all, our keys do not have room numbers on them. Even if the person who killed Mr. Gu Chuan got his keys, he would not know that the room he lived in was room 202. "

Yoshie Ogino said.

"That lucky child..."

"The child is very good. He will be fine if he stays at home alone."

Now that Ogino Yoshie said so, Shiraishi Rin couldn't say anything more, and quickly went out and locked the door of 202, and then went back to the first floor with Ogino Yoshie.

Before leaving the apartment building, Rin Shiraishi went back to the house and turned over a pair of wrenches and a fruit knife, and handed the wrench to Yoshie Ogino, signaling the single mother to use it for self-defense, while she stuck the fruit knife in the in the trouser pocket.

Then the two of them left the apartment and walked towards the intersection where they met Mr. Gu Chuan yesterday.

After about four or five minutes, I came to the gate of a small park.

Shiraishi Rin looked around vigilantly, but saw no one.

The vicinity of [-]-chome was originally remote, and now it was a weekday afternoon at this time, except for students on summer vacation and full-time housewives with children, few people would come to the park.

"Go in and have a look."

The footsteps continued to move forward, but much slower than when they came over just now.

As soon as he entered the park and walked a few steps forward, Yoshie Ogino pointed in a direction:

"It smells like blood over there."

"Eh?"

Volume 12: Chapter [-] I thought you had seen the complete works of Conan

"I am born with a good sense of smell, and I can easily smell things that many people can't smell. When I was in Chiba, I used this ability to help my neighbors smell the gas leak and saved a fire. What about possible explosions.

I thought that I would never encounter such a situation here again, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. "

Ogino Yoshie smiled and explained softly.

"And this kind of thing..."

Shiraishi also knows that there are indeed many talented people in this world, such as those who make perfume and wine, who have a keen sense of smell, and those who are piano masters have a much more dexterous sense of hearing than ordinary people.

People like Mrs. Ogino are rare, but not completely absent.

Anyway, even ghosts and ghosts exist, and she can accept some strange people and strangers.

Under the guidance of Ogino Yoshie, the two walked a short distance into the small park, and Shiraishi Rin noticed a few red liquids that were suspected to be blood-stained in the nearby grass.I don't know when it was splashed here, it seems to have dried up.

After crossing the blades of grass and walking a few steps deeper into the bushes, Shiraishi Rin looked around and noticed a large string of bloodstains behind the bushes, covered by the soft soil, but still exuding a faint blood. The smell, mixed with the surrounding earthy smell, the closer you get, the more you can smell it.

In the surrounding grass, obvious signs of looseness can be seen.

"This place...isn't it true that Mr. Gu Chuan's body is buried?"

Shiraishi Rin's face turned slightly pale.

In two lifetimes, it was the first time for her to see the murder scene up close in reality.

Although she didn't see the corpse with her own eyes, she still stepped back in fear, took out her mobile phone and was about to dial.

On the contrary, Yoshie Ogino looked calmer, went to the depths of the bushes to have a look, and carefully sniffed the surrounding smell:

"The other party should have left in the early hours of this morning, and it will be no more than twelve hours from now. The smell of blood has not completely dissipated. The soil is also fresh and contains plenty of water...

Regardless of whether Mr. Gu Chuan's body was buried underneath or not, an incident of a very bad nature did occur here, and someone buried something here.

There are still traces of being crushed by tires, judging from the size and texture of the tires, it should be a family car..."
