A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 290

"Mr. Mori, Mr. Sakura, he..."

Although he faintly felt something was wrong in his heart, Long Yuan couldn't help but ask aloud. After all, the other party was having a drink with him just now, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the blink of an eye.

"He's dead, don't call an ambulance, just call the police."

The uncle's tone was quite heavy, interrupting a fantasy in Long Yuan's heart, causing a look of pity to appear on his face.

The police came very quickly. The old acquaintance Shiratori Rensaburo and the Kyoto police department Ayanokouji Fumiya, because of Genji Hotaru's matter, they have been waiting in full force at the Metropolitan Police Department. After receiving the call, they rushed here non-stop.

"Mr. Maori, we are really destined to meet each other at the scene of the crime."

Shiratori Ren Saburo, as a colleague of Police Officer Megure who gets along day and night, naturally has heard a little about the uncle's brilliant achievements. Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, he is even nicknamed the God of Plague Kogoro.

"Hehehe, this case is attracting my famous detective Mori Kogoro. With me here, the murderer will definitely have nowhere to hide."

"Our Metropolitan Police Department will arrest the murderer by itself, and we don't need the help of you so-called detectives."

With the sound of cold words, the smile on the uncle's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Ayanokoji Fumiya who spoke, he didn't know this person.

"This is the Ayanokouji Police Department in Kyoto."

Shiratori Ren Sanlang saw that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to mediate. He knew very well that the temperament of the colleague beside him was far weirder than his own.

Ayanokōji Fumiya didn't answer, but walked straight to the room where the crime took place, his brows were slightly frowned, because he had already seen the figures of Hattori and Conan jumping up and down in the room.

"Idlers, please leave immediately."

Without politeness, Ayanokōji Fumiya bluntly said to drive people away, with a little anger in his tone, these two little devils actually messed up the clues in the room.

"Us? Idlers waiting?"

Hattori wanted to continue to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Conan, and he dragged Hattori out of the room obediently. He could see that this Ayanokōji police department was not an easy person to get along with.

"Conan, why are you stopping us? I still want to argue with him."

"Forget it, what he said is right. If the quarrel continues, maybe he will arrest the two of us for disrupting the investigation in a fit of anger, and it will not be worth the candle."

Hearing this, Hattori hesitated and hesitated for a long time without saying a word. With that weird policeman's character, he might really do this, and he didn't want to lose this person.

"And look what I found."

After observing around for a while, Conan took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, which he found from Sakura Masao, but he was kicked out before handing them over to the police.

"Come on, let's go to his house to see if there are any clues for reference."

The moment Hattori saw the key, he understood Conan's plan, and quietly pulled Conan out of the teahouse.

"The two of them probably discovered something new, and their smiles are so wretched."

"The two of them are obscene without smiling."

Noah and Haibara, who had been at the back of the crowd all the time, watched Hattori's leaving back and whispered.

They were unmoved by their figures and had no intention of following. They were never interested in troublesome things like reasoning and finding clues.

Although Ayanokōji Bungong seems withdrawn and unapproachable, his working ability is still very good. He and Shiratori Ren Saburo have a clear division of labor, and quickly inspected the crime scene.

The deceased Sakura Masao, the owner of the antique shop, according to other people's accounts, came to this room to rest because he felt a little tired, and told Yamakura Tae to wake him up in half an hour.

However, when Yamakura Tae came to call him, Sakura Masao had already died on the spot. According to the preliminary judgment, he was injured by someone with a sharp knife. The knife was fatal, clean and neat, without any trace of struggle.

The range of suspects is temporarily locked in everyone in this teahouse, because according to the investigation, no one has been here tonight except the uncle, Noah and his party.

And during half an hour when Sakura Masazo was resting, everyone in the room where the uncle lived seemed to have been to the toilet alone, and the crime scene happened to be next to the toilet.

"However, it does not rule out that someone sneaked in from the outside to commit crimes. We measured the size of the toilet window, which is enough for people to get in."

After the preliminary investigation, the next task will have to wait. The forensics department will search the entire teahouse, which will take a certain amount of time.

On the other side, Ren Saburo Shiratori and Fumiya Ayanokoji gathered everyone in one room to facilitate investigation and take statements.

"Noah, who is this?"

Shiratori Ren Saburo looked curiously at the silent Haibara, because he was quite familiar with Noah and others because he often met at the scene of the crime.

"This is my girlfriend. She just came back from abroad. We were with Xiaolan and the others until we heard screams."

Noah concealed it vaguely, he didn't want to tell the police the name of Hui Yuan, if it was accidentally revealed, it would be a big trouble.

"Officer Shiratori, we can all testify about this. Noah and the others are definitely not the murderers."

Seeing Xiaolan next to him offer help, Noah couldn't help but a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Shiratori Ren Saburo glanced at Noah and Huibara with a strange look in his eyes, which was very meaningful. These two people...

But he didn't continue to ask, he still believed in Noah and his party.

However, what puzzled him was that when he saw Noah, the so-called girlfriend, he felt a little familiar, but he thought he had never seen this girl before.

"Is it an illusion?"

……

In the antique shop run by Sakura Shozo, Hattori and Conan are looking for clues.

They learned about this place when they were chatting with Long Yuan, but they didn't expect it to be useful.

"Hattori, look here!"

Conan seemed to have discovered something terrible, and hurriedly called Hattori who was looking for it, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"What's so good about Yoshitsune...Ise Saburo?"

Hattori didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw the signature Conan was pointing to, he exclaimed and turned to ask Conan for verification.

"That's right, that's what you think. This Sakura Shozo is also a member of Genji Hotaru. If I guess correctly, the murderer should be the same person who killed those five people. It's either Yoshitsune or Benkei, and I also discovered that this."

Conan slowly pulled out a piece of paper with strange symbols drawn on it from the Yoshitsune, and after seeing the content on it, Hattori's face flashed with enlightenment.

"This further confirms our conjecture that the pharmacist Tathagata of Sanneng Temple must have been stolen by Genji Hotaru."

That's right, the symbol in the Yoshitsune is exactly the same as the code received by Sannoji Temple. Conan guessed that Genji Hotaru's people seemed to be looking for something, and the address was on this code.

"I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably familiar with the symbols on this piece of paper, as if I've seen them somewhere."

Hattori re-examined the two identical signs in front of him, frowning, where are they?

"Think about the secret code slowly. Let's go back to the teahouse first and see if we find any new clues there."

Little did they know, Ayanokōji Fumiya in the teahouse was furious because of the two of them leaving rashly.

Although there is a high probability that they are not the murderers, the two of them cannot leave before the investigation is over, let alone leave on their own.
