Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Chapter 144 Gas Station (2)

When they were happily eating, they suddenly heard a scream from the side. Upon hearing this, Edogawa Conan immediately dropped the tableware in his hands and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Imaguchi Koshin and the others couldn't eat anymore. After Conan left, the remaining three children also ran over, leaving only Imaguchi Koshin, Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa.

Imaguchi and the doctor looked at each other and walked over, wanting to see what happened.

The scream came from the lounge behind the restaurant. Imaguchi walked over and saw the chef he had met before lying in a pool of blood in the lounge.

His chest was full of blood, but he looked very calm and peaceful. If it weren't for the blood on his chest, he would have thought the other person was asleep.

Edogawa Conan squatted next to the corpse and touched it with his hands, then turned to Dr. Agasa and shook his head.

"Doctor, call the police!"

"Okay." Dr. Ali quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called the police.

Imaguchi looked at the corpse in front of him, and the children nearby were a little scared, but they still moved in front of the corpse. He quickly grabbed them and covered their eyes.

"Be good, don't look, be careful, you'll have nightmares!" Imaguchi brought them back to the restaurant and handed them over to Haibara Ai who was standing at the door watching them.

"Please stay together for a while, don't go in, or you may damage the scene!"

"We have encountered many cases before. It is the Junior Detective Team that will not destroy the scene!"

"I know, but you are still children now, so it's better not to come into contact with these things." Imaguchi said as he handed them their drinks on the table. Several children couldn't help but shake their heads while drinking the drinks. Turning towards the lounge, I wanted to hear how things were progressing.

Perhaps because of the distance, it took a long time this time before the police finally arrived. By this time, Conan had already looked at the entire scene carefully.

He collected a lot of clues, but he never found the murder weapon. Logically speaking, the body died not long ago, and the restaurant is so big, how could he not find a suitable murder weapon?

But the fact is that Edogawa Conan searched the entire restaurant and could not find a suitable murder weapon, as if the murder weapon did not exist in the first place.

Imaguchi had never met the police officers who came this time, but from the looks of the young detective team, they must be familiar to them.

The police sealed the scene and examined the body. It was found that the body had been dead for no more than an hour, and the fatal injury was a wound on the chest. However, the wound looked strange, like a thick dagger, but there was no sign of anything in the restaurant. There can be no such thing.

All the knives here are kitchen knives and fruit knives, and even these two cannot be used frequently due to the special situation near the gas station.

Therefore, the food sold in the restaurant is a variety of portable lunch boxes, as well as fast food that needs to be lightly heated to be eaten.

All the people in the restaurant were called out for interrogation one by one, but the results of the interrogation were somewhat unsatisfactory.

The restaurant's lounge is actually not very private. After all, it is near a gas station where people come and go, and the store is run by two brothers, so they don't care too much if anyone passes by the lounge behind.

Regular customers who have been here know that if you feel uncomfortable or a little tired, you can borrow the lounge at the back to rest. And the owner of this store actually doesn't care too much about this.

Therefore, almost everyone can enter the lounge at the back, and because it has been busy before, they did not pay too much attention to who entered.

The last time he saw the deceased was when he finished cooking for Imaguchi Kokoro and his group, and asked to go to the back to have a rest. After that, the clerk never saw him come out, so he thought he was still asleep.

Now that the time is almost up, I want to call the other person to get up, and then the two of them will take a rest.

But who would have expected that when he entered the lounge, he would encounter the body of the chef. The clerk has not reacted until now, and he is completely confused.

As for other people in the store, it is not clear whether they have been to the lounge. Although there is surveillance in the store, it does not face the lounge, so it is not certain who has entered, and the people in the store do not pay attention to this.

After handing his belongings to the police, Imaguchi followed his gaze and looked at other people's belongings.

But they are all basic and commonly used things, such as hand rolls, cigarettes, lighters, keys, wallets, notebooks, etc. There are no knives at all.

"Has anyone among them ever left?" the police asked Imaguchi and them with a frown.

"No, we have been watching the door and didn't see anyone leaving." Mitsuhiko and the others shook their heads. Because they were very excited, they had been watching the door for fear of losing their tools.

During this period, no one was seen leaving.

Imaguchi nodded heartily. Because there were relatively few people in the store, he clearly remembered that no one in the store had left. Even because the toilet was in the store, no one went out to use the toilet at all.

Conan Edogawa just listened to the police's questioning behind him, and his face became extremely serious. It is really difficult to investigate this situation now. The chef was dead in front of him, with a knife in his chest, but no one could remember when someone might have come back to poison him.

"Uncle policeman, have you ever investigated whether the deceased had any conflicts with others, or had a grudge?" Conan Edogawa grabbed the leading police officer and asked cutely.

"We have already investigated it. The deceased's interpersonal relationship was relatively simple. He was an orphan and had a girlfriend who had been dating for many years, but she is not here now. Apart from that, he only had one good friend, which is this store. clerk.

The two of them opened this store together. Although the business is not very prosperous, it is relatively stable and they can still receive a little money after so many years. Apart from this, the deceased had no other relatives or friends. "

"Just the two of them?"

"correct."

"I didn't expect him to be so withdrawn! What a pity!" The police officer handling the case frowned. He was really withdrawn and had no clues at all.

Conan looked at the wounds on the body and suddenly noticed something. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully, and then made gestures with his hands.

"What's wrong, Shinichi?" Dr. Ali walked over and asked softly.

"I always feel like something is wrong. The wound doesn't look like it was cut with a knife. It feels a bit dull." Edogawa Conan looked a little unsure.

Imaguchi saw them whispering here, and originally planned to leave, but when he looked at the wounds printed by the police, he felt a little familiar.

He seemed to really recognize the appearance of the wound.

Imaguchi took the piece of paper in Edogawa Conan's hand, looked at it carefully, and then recalled it in his mind, and suddenly he had an uncertain idea in his mind.

"Conan, this figure looks familiar to me. Maybe you can ask the police officers to investigate the fish in the warehouse and the fish in the kitchen. The shape of this wound looks a bit like something I have seen before." Imaguchi Xin suggested uncertainly.

"What is it?" After hearing Imaguchi's words, Conan suddenly became energetic, grabbed Imaguchi's clothes, and asked seriously.

"The shape of his wound looks a bit like a fish crashing into his body." Imaguchi didn't know what he was talking about, but he just felt a little strange.

"Fish, how could a fish crash into the body, even a frozen fish?" Mitsuhiko stood aside and heard their conversation, shaking his head.

"Yes, for example, frozen fish or something has been sharpened. As long as the temperature is low enough, it can be inserted into the human body." Imaguchi gestured with his hand and pointed to the wound on the paper.

"In addition, fish-shaped weapons are also acceptable. As long as they are sharp enough and fast enough, they can be inserted into the body, such as a fish with a particularly sharp mouth."
