Conan's Almighty Extraction

Realizing that there might be another mystery hidden in this incident, Criminal Inoki became serious and began to investigate the scene of the crime and the surrounding witnesses.

"How could this happen?" An old man wearing a hat, watching the search and rescue personnel carry away Tachibana Kensuke's body, sighed: "I clearly reminded him before that it is high tide now, so he must be very careful when fishing. happened."

After listening to the old man's words, Bai Yanzhenyu became more convinced of the previous judgment, and said with a smile: "Criminal Inoki, I am right, this old man has already reminded Lawyer Tachibana, and it is even less likely that the life jacket is his own. It's taken off."

Criminal Inoki nodded, and asked the old man, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am the boat owner who rented the boat to Lawyer Tachibana this time. My surname is Inuyama. I opened the boat rental shop."

After Boss Inuyama introduced his identity, he asked Criminal Inoki for help: "To be honest, I was recently stolen a boat of the same style as that one. Can I ask you to help me find it?"

Criminal Inoki frowned slightly, and confirmed to Boss Inuyama: "Boss Inuyama, is what you said true?"

Boss Inuyama nodded and replied: "Yes, many children saw it at the time. A man in a red baseball cap drove the boat away."

"The man in the red baseball cap?"

Bai Yanzhenyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "When we were walking the dog on the shore, we seemed to see that person."

"Oh?" Criminal Inoki didn't expect to get clues from Shiraiwa Maha, and hurriedly asked: "Then which direction did you see him go?"

After recalling the location at that time, Shiraiwa Maha replied: "At that time we were on the grass below the promontory, and the left side was blocked by the cliff. We don't know where he went after that."

Boss Inuyama, who has lived here all year round and is very familiar with the surrounding environment, was a little surprised after listening to Shiraiwa Maha's description of the location: "I remember that direction, it seems to be the scene of Lawyer Tachibana's accident."

Criminal Inoki looked at the location of the sunken ship, and guessed: "In this case, the possibility that he sailed into Lawyer Tachibana's boat is very high."

Xiaolan also recalled the situation at that time, and interjected: "But, we saw him two hours before the accident happened."

"That's it, but no matter what you say, this man can't get rid of the suspicion. Let's find a way to find him first."

There are too few useful clues, and Criminal Inoki cannot make an accurate judgment, so he can only wait for further investigation and evidence collection.

"I think this person may be someone who has been to the villa before."

At this moment, Housekeeper Kamei seemed to remember something, and said, "About two months ago, there was a man who came to the villa to find Lawyer Tachibana. Lawyer Ju even had a big fight."

"If these two people are the same person, then his purpose of stealing the ship in advance should be to facilitate access to Lawyer Tachibana. In this case, it is necessary to search for the whereabouts of the ship immediately."

After analyzing the clue, Inoki immediately notified the police search personnel to search for the stolen boat in the nearby waters.

Next, Criminal Inoki continued to investigate, while Shiraiwa Maha and others returned to the villa to wait for news.

……

After the sun went down, Criminal Inoki brought his colleague, the unusually tall Baba Criminal, to the villa of Lawyer Tachibana, and told Kogoro Mori the results of the investigation, ready to appreciate Kogoro Mori's reasoning process.

After hearing the results of the forensic examination of the corpse, Kogoro Mori exclaimed, "Sleeping pills? The appraisers really discovered this ingredient."

Criminal Inoki nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, it is estimated that he drowned in the water when he was taking sleeping pills and fell into a coma, so we came here to ask Lawyer Tachibana Have you had any abnormal reactions similar to suicide recently?"

"An abnormal reaction to commit suicide." Mori Kogoro held his chin and thought hard. However, he only met Tachibana Kensuke last night, and he was not even familiar with him. Naturally, he couldn't tell whether Tachibana Kensuke had any abnormal behavioral reactions. .

"That Lawyer Ju can't commit suicide."

Xiao Lan, who was listening to the conversation, shook her head slightly when she heard the words, and explained: "Because when he went out today, he still smiled and said that he would catch a big fish and let us all wait for a big meal. The person who wants to commit suicide is Not so optimistic."

"That's true," Baiyan Maha nodded, and echoed: "Lawyer Tachibana wants us to live here with peace of mind, saying that we are very welcome to stay here for a few more days."

"So that's the case, so it's very likely that someone let him sink into the water."

Inoki's judgment was approved by the Baba criminal, and just as they were about to continue talking, Butler Kamei, who was out shopping for supplies, entered the room.

After seeing Inoki Criminal and Racecourse Criminal, Butler Kamei was slightly taken aback, then bowed and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to prepare today's dinner right away."

"Please wait a moment," Criminal Inoki stopped Butler Kamei, and asked, "Are you Mrs. Kamei? Did you go shopping just now?"

"Yes," Butler Kamei showed him the purchased ingredients, and explained, "Because people from the law firm will gather at the villa to discuss matters tonight, so we need to prepare more food."

Criminal Inoki casually glanced at the ingredients in the shopping bag, and then said, "I know you're busy cooking, but can I spare you a little time and ask a few questions?"

"Ok."

After Butler Kamei agreed, Criminal Inoki took out the police handbook and ballpoint pen, and asked, "What's in the bento that Lawyer Tachibana brought out today?"

Butler Kamei answered directly without hesitation: "The lawyer's bento is two sandwiches and a cup of hot coffee."

After Inoki recorded Butler Kamei's answer, he continued to ask, "So, what's in the sandwich?"

Butler Kamei said while wringing his fingers, "It contains a large hamburger patty, some sauerkraut, a little lettuce salad, and yes, a little onion."

"Well, this is consistent with the result of the appraisal. It can be seen that Lawyer Ju ate this bento for lunch today."

Butler Kamei's answer was consistent with the result of the forensic examination, which meant that sleeping pills were secretly put into the bento, and anyone who handled the bento would be suspected of harming Lawyer Tachibana secretly.
