Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1113 [Okiya Subaru: The murderer was actually myself]

Officer Takagi quickly collected some clues:
"The deceased, Naoko Fujimura, was 27 years old. According to eyewitness testimony, when Jiang Xia and the others came to the living room at 12 o'clock, the coin-operated TV was just turned off-this TV can only accept one coin at a time, and it will run for 30 minutes. Automatically shuts off.

"The presumed time of death was within an hour. From this point of view, the deceased should have been attacked while watching TV."

"There are not many signs of fighting around, and the location where the murder was in the living room, it should be committed by an acquaintance." Miwako Sato looked at the TV and found that there were various nostalgic snacks scattered on the ground next to it: "To say the only The messy place is here—but it may be that the deceased lived a lazy life. In order to welcome her classmates, she deliberately tidied up the room, but while waiting, she was distracted while eating snacks, so she messed up the things in this area gone."

"That's right, the deceased's mobile phone was also dropped in this pile of debris." Officer Takagi put on his gloves, carefully picked up the mobile phone, and called up the communication records.

I saw that more than 20 minutes ago, there was an outgoing call.

The note above is "Sakura Yamamoto".

When Miwako Sato saw the name, she was slightly taken aback, approached Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice, "This is the lady who came with you, right?"

Jiang Xia nodded, and said in a low voice, "I do remember that she answered a phone call when I was at the station."

"Huh? If that's the case, wouldn't the suspicion of the three of them be ruled out?" Megure's police department is very sensitive to the movements of Jiang Xia's younger brother. The moment Officer Sato approached Jiang Xia just now, he had already pricked up his ears at the same time.

Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something, and did not agree with this conclusion:

"It's better to ask about the details of that call first. Since the murderer is an acquaintance of the deceased, he may also be an acquaintance of the three ladies. Maybe when Ms. Yamamoto answered the phone, she heard some important clues—yes Yes, remember to record the testimony."

Miwako Sato's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Don't worry."

……

"Yes, I did get a call from Naoko."

Sakurako Yamamoto wiped away her tears, found her mobile phone, and called up the communication records to show to the police:

"She was in a hurry and urged us to come here quickly. But Nami hadn't arrived at that time, so we didn't set off right away.

"I thought we would meet soon, but I didn't say much at the time, and quickly hung up the phone. Who knew..." Sakurako Yamamoto's eyes turned red, "Who knew that this was the last thing Naoko said to me."

"Wait, Miss Nami didn't arrive at that time?" Mumu Police Department suddenly stood up, he looked at the gentle and timid short-haired woman in the middle, and then looked at the most reliable Jiang Xia, and asked, "Do you still remember the time when How long did it take between Ms. Yamamoto's phone call and Ms. Kaneda, who was late, rushing to the station?"

Before Jiang Xia could speak.Beside, Nami Kinda blushed.

She retorted in a low voice: "I'm not late! I just prefer to be late, so when I am set off by Kayangri and Sakura who like to arrive early, I seem to be late. How can I be late when I am stuck... ..."

"Sorry, but please seriously recall the situation. We must investigate accordingly."

Miwako Sato sighed.

Although she also felt that this soft and cute woman with short hair didn't look like a murderer at all.But based on the past accumulation and the experience gained from watching Jiang Xia solve the case at close range: in many cases, the less the guy looks like the murderer, the more likely he is the murderer.

"..." Of course, Miwako Sato would not rely on this kind of joke-like logic to convict people, but at least it would allow her to treat the pitiful suspects as equals without judging them by their appearance.

……

When Miwako Sato communicated with the suspect.

Okiya Subaru stood quietly aside, looking like a case-solving enthusiast contemplating puzzles, but in fact he was holding his breath as much as possible in order to reduce his sense of existence.

He knew in his heart that when looking for suspects, the police would often investigate from close to far away—the closer the person was to the deceased, or had recent contact, the easier it would be to be listed as a suspect.

And after narrowing down the scope of the time of death through the phone call made by the deceased.Among the several suspects at this time: Quanjia Yangli and Yamamoto Sakurako, who were with Jiang Xia the whole time, had the most solid alibi.

The only person left to be suspicious was Nami Kaneda who was late at the meeting.

as well as--

Okiya Subaru, who stayed at home all day, happened to know the neighbor of the deceased.

……

Okiya Subaru listened to the police investigating the suspects, and felt that his scalp was about to explode—when the police exchanged clues with Jiang Xia, he relied on his recent acquaintance with the police, and secretly approached and eavesdropped, and obtained the information just now. All known information.

Therefore, Okiya Subaru, who is familiar with this area, is very clear: his "murderer identity competitor" Kaneda Nami wants to kill the deceased, deal with the traces, and rush to the station during the time of being late... This kind of weather is bound to Will sweat a lot.

After she met Jiang Xia and the others, there was obviously no chance to change clothes, and at this time, Kaneda Nami's clothes had no sweat stains at all.

——In short, no matter how you look at it, Kaneda Nami doesn't look like a murderer.

Then the only remaining unlucky guy who was present was just...

Okiya Subaru stood in the corner, as quiet as a chicken, thinking to Uzo in his heart: I hope the boss just wants to beat him out of interest, and not really want to knock him to death.

Just at this time, after Miwako Sato had close contact with Nami Kaneda, she also had the same speculation as Subaru Okiya.

She turned around and looked at Okiya Subaru over Jiang Xia's shoulder.

Then, while Okiya Subaru looked back silently, he focused on the clothes at home, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Okiya, you seem to live here? Did you hear any suspicious movements before and after the incident?" ?"

The tone is quite polite.

However, Miwako Sato's eyes still inadvertently brought a sense of oppression.

She thought to herself: Although Okiya Subaru and Jiang Xia know each other... but whoever said that if you know Jiang Xia, you will not commit crimes?
Among the police, Miwako Sato has outstanding abilities and naturally has a good memory.

She quickly remembered that a few nights ago, people who escaped from the twin buildings in Nishitama City said that Okiya Subaru had reminded them of the "sniper attack", and Jiang Xia was almost hit by a sniper rifle right after... Normal Will people think of this kind of dangerous scene like a blockbuster movie from an ordinary viewing elevator?
In addition, Miwako Sato remembered that she occasionally heard the little boy with glasses muttering that Jiang Xia always met scum and was easily blinded by scum.

Officer Sato: "..." I heard that children have very keen intuition and are also very sensitive to people's attitudes.

What if...
