Detectives of Detective World

After some conversation and information integration, Tang Ze was able to gather all the information on the case in front of him.

First of all, the deceased Itagaki Locke was found in a large bag, and there were signs of heavy blows on the head of the body. Judging from the injuries, the head was repeatedly hit hard, which was also the direct cause of death of the other party.

This is consistent with the information that Mr. Shibuya's son, Tatsuya Shibuya witnessed.

Some time ago, Mr. Shibuya drove his son to play at the festival, and he was blocked on the bridge. That is, at that time, Hakuya, who was bored looking at the bridge, saw a man throw a big bag into the river.

And Itagaki Locke's head was exposed from the bag at that time, and he saw it.

Later, because he saw the photo of Itagaki Locke on the CD again, Hakutani told his father that he saw the scene of Itagaki Locke being put in a bag and thrown off the bridge that night.

After that, Mr. Shibuya took his son to the Maori Detective Agency to seek entrustment, and then happened to learn about Itagaki Locke from Sonoko, and believed the eyewitness testimony of Shibuya.

And after the man threw the bag off the bridge, he took out a lot of things from the green coat he was wearing and threw it under the bridge, but because it was covered by the other party, Shiratani did not see what the other party threw down. something.

Then the prisoner didn't know what he was looking for, and kept stroking his clothes.

"Brother Qiao, you said he was looking for something, so is there something in his mouth?"

After listening to Takashi Shibuya's description of the situation at the crime scene, Tang Ze asked.

"Ah, it seems that there really is." Hakutani heard the words and nodded again and again: "It should be lighting a cigarette!"

"Then it's probably a lighter."

Tang Ze's speculation has also attracted everyone's approval. If there is anything that adult men usually hold in their mouths, it should be cigarettes.

"After that, what did that person do on the bridge?" Conan on the side asked, "Did he stop on the bridge after throwing things?"

"No." Hakutani shook his head and said, "The man immediately got into the car parked next to him and didn't know where he was going."

"Then do you remember what that person looked like, or what the car looked like?" asked Kogoro Mouri, who was beside him.

"That car felt dark, just the kind of car you usually see on the road."

Hakutani replied honestly: "As for the appearance, I didn't see it. He was wearing a hat, and he was even blocked by the collar of the coat, so..."

"Is that true..."

But just when Mouri Kogoro was disappointed, Hakutani suddenly seemed to remember something and said "ah" quickly, "I remembered, that person's injury seems to have a pattern."

"Pattern? You mean tattoo? What exactly?"

Tang Ze's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked.

With a specific tattoo, it is actually easy to target the suspect, and it is estimated that it will eventually fall into the "classic three-choice" link.

Of course, more clues are needed, so let's look at the clues that are really tracked down later.

After hearing Tang Ze's words, Hakutani's face showed disgust, and he seemed to hate the pattern he saw: "It's a disgusting-looking nail pattern."

"A disgusting nail pattern?"

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard the words, and they didn't understand what the other party was describing, but Hakutani Qiao suddenly wrote happily: "By the way, in the car next to our car, I saw such a big glowing hammer. "

"Nails... glowing hammers... what's this all about..."

Mouri Kogoro looked irritably at Shishugu next to him and said, "By the way, which bridge did you walk on that night, can't you remember? Think about it again!"

"I'm so sorry... I was sleepy and tired because of the traffic jam that day, so I forgot the exact location."

Mr. Shibuya scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just remember walking on one of the three bridges..."

"What we are standing on now is the Cupto Central Bridge in the middle."

Tang Ze looked around and said, "On the right is the Cuphu Bridge, and on the left is the Cuphu New Bridge. You can try to recall and feel which bridge you are most likely to choose."

"This... I actually tried to recall it with the company of Detective Maori when I came here." Mr. Shibuya said embarrassedly: "It still doesn't work..."

"Can I only start with other clues?" Kogoro Mori sighed.

"You said, could the glowing hammer that Brother Qiao saw be fireworks?"

Xiaolan guessed: "When some fireworks go up, don't they drag a long tail underneath?"

"In that case, it's more like a tadpole or a lollipop." Yingyou Hondo said: "The fireworks with a hammer pattern are still too strange."

"That's right..." Xiaolan pondered: "Will it be blocked by something, and it will become that shape?"

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Xiaolan was still guessing, Hakutani denied: "I didn't see the fireworks at the time. Although I could hear the sound, there were cars around so that the fireworks couldn't be seen at all."

"I remember that I seemed to be walking in the middle lane." Mr. Shibuya smiled shyly: "At that time, the two sides should be blocked by various cars, and the fireworks should not be visible..."

"Then only the nail tattoos are left..."

Tang Ze thought about it and immediately took out his phone and called Yuanzi.

"Mosimoxi...brother-in-law?"

"Have you found the murderer who killed Locke? Woohoo..."

As soon as the phone was connected, Sonoko's choked cries and continuous language cannonballs came from the microphone.

But Tang Ze didn't try to comfort her too much, but instead opened his mouth to divert the other party's attention: "Not yet, but we have already discovered a lot, and I wanted to ask you something to call you, maybe An important clue to find the prisoner."

"What? Say it now!"

Sure enough, when Tang Ze said this, Sonoko stopped crying immediately. Obviously, it is better to avenge the idol than to be sad for the idol. She knows this very well.

"A pattern of nails?"

After listening to Tang Ze's description, Sonoko hurriedly said: "The logo of Locke's band is the Nail Snake!

It's a pattern of nails stuck in the tongue. "

"Is that the case?" Tang Zexuan then immediately asked: "Has any fans tattooed that pattern on their bodies? Is there a designated tattoo location?"

"Yes, there are many..."

Sonoko wiped away tears and sniffed as he recalled: "I remember that there was a store for merchandise around the band, and part-time tattoo services.

As long as they are fans of Rock and his band, they will definitely go back to that shop for tattoos.

I remember the address seems to be near Cupido Chuo Bridge. "

"Yes, I know, I will contact you later if I need to."

After Tang Ze hung up the phone, he explained the news to Officer Mumu. After a simple investigation and inquiry, the address of the merchandise store around the orchestra that Sonoko said was already found.

Tang Ze and others drove to the destination with Shibuya and his son, hoping that Shibuya could identify the pattern tattooed by the prisoner.

Looking at the tattoo designs displayed in the store, Takashi Shibuya shook his head and denied this, and bluntly said that what he saw was not the pattern of the snake in front of him being placed in an S shape, with a large nail on its head nailed to an N-shaped wood. .

"Are you sure it's not this pattern you saw?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the pattern in front of him and said, "It does look like a disgusting nail pattern."

"Boss, have you changed the pattern here?"

After Tang Ze heard what Shibuya said, he looked at the wall with tattoos on the inner wall of the shop, and said to the shop owner next to him:

"I see that there are a few square lattices on your walls that are lighter than the surrounding ones. It looks like something was pasted before, right?"

"You're right, officer, we did update the pattern."

The boss nodded when he heard the words, and took out a square cloth with a brand-new group plan from under the counter: "This is our new pattern, but we won't be stocking it until next week~"

"Ah, that's the pattern!"

When Hakutani saw the new pattern brought out by the shop owner, he immediately shouted, "That person's hand is this pattern!"

"Boss, do you know if someone has tattooed this new pattern?" Kogoro Mauri asked quickly after hearing the words.

"Yeah, after a few very loyal fans heard about the logo change, they asked us to say anything and let them stab the band's new logo first."

While talking, the boss took out a photo album from the cabinet behind him, turned to the last page, and showed the photos of three new tattooed customers to everyone.

After Tang Ze saw the three photos in front of him, he showed such an expression as expected.

The old classic has three choices, no matter how troublesome the clues are in the early stage, the limited range of three people will definitely be screened later.

Tang Ze looked at it and found that, as expected, all three of them had this pattern tattooed on their arms.

Although the tattooed arms are not the same, Tang Ze estimated that it is unlikely that Hakutani could remember whether the tattooed guy had his left or right hand tattooed.

According to the introduction of the boss, they also had a preliminary understanding of the situation of these three people.

The first is Mr. Kiritani in the photo on the far right. He wears a gray peaked cap, and his medium-length hair and beard are dyed golden brown, which looks like a foreigner's hair color.

Judging from the photo, his tattooed arm should be his right forearm.

The second Mr. Anju is a flat-headed man wearing sunglasses, who looks like the boss of the pole, even more so with a snake-shaped tattoo on his right forearm.

As for the third one, Mr. Guan Nei, he also has a tattoo on his left arm, and his hairstyle is like an explosive head. He looks like a middle-aged uncle, without any sense of fashion.

"Coincidentally, do you think any of the three looks particularly familiar?" Mr. Shibuya asked in a broad voice while holding his son.

"It was so dark at the time, and he was still wearing a hat, so I couldn't see it." Hakutani shook his head and looked at his father, "But I saw the nail when the man was about to get in the car and leave. "

"The car..."

After hearing the words of Takashi Shibuya, Kogoro Mori looked at the three photos carefully and asked, "Is the imported car that Mr. Anju in the middle relies on, his own?"

"Yes, it seems to have been ten years since he said that." The boss replied after hearing this.

"Is it this car?" Kogoro Mori turned his head to look at Hakutani: "This car is also black."

"I don't know!" Hakutani shook his head.

"What about the man with the hat on the right?" Kogoro Mori continued to ask, "Is that what it looks like?"

"No, it's completely different." Hakutani still shook his head.

"By the way, why did you suddenly change the band's logo?" Conan on the side asked a question that seemed unrelated to the case when no one asked the boss.

"In fact, this logo was designed by Locke, who left the band and made his own debut. I heard that many fans strongly demanded to change a logo as soon as possible."

The shop owner explained: "Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, Rock who abandoned the band to make his own debut is a traitor, so he doesn't want the band to continue to use the logo he designed.

But no one thought that such a thing would happen to Locke. I heard that Nail Snake is going to hold a memorial concert tonight.

Although there have been some unpleasant experiences, Locke is a good friend of the regiment leader after all..."

"Could it be that some of these three people were unhappy that Locke betrayed the band, so one of them killed Locke?"

Xiaolan looked at the man in the three photos, then suddenly stunned: "Huh? Isn't this Miss Yoko Okino?"

"Where?" Maori Kogoro immediately became excited when he heard the words, and then greeted his daughter's sharp "eyes killing".

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Xiaolan pointed to Yoko Okino holding a teapot in the photo and explained: "The filter coffee that I bought for you at home before, there is a chance to win a coffee pot by lottery, and the prize refers to the one in Miss Yoko's hand.

It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Yoko Okino actually spoke for it. "

"But you didn't see the advertisement~www.NovelMTL.com~ how would you know?" Kogoro Mouri wondered.

"Of course it's because of this, the promotional van for the coffee maker." Xiaolan took out her phone and called up a photo: "Because it's so cute, I took a photo."

"Wait a moment!"

When Maori Kogoro saw the truck with the oversized coffee pot in the photo of Xiao Lan's mobile phone, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Since there is a promotional truck for the coffee pot, there should be a hammer too..."

"No no...not likely..."

Tang Ze and Conan imagined the situation and waved their hands again and again, and Kogoro Mouri was obviously aware of this unrealistic situation, and what he said had no confidence.

After thanking the boss, Tang Ze and his party planned to leave.

Although it was not possible to find further clues to the criminals, it was a good progress to be able to locate the three suspects.

Of course, before he left, Tang Ze didn't forget to take a photo of the three of them with his mobile phone, in case he needed to use the photo for any clues found later.
