Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Chapter 41 Case: 2 Sees 1 Tree (5)

There is nothing to say about the conflict between Ikoxin and the deceased. It is just that the two of them dislike each other, plus there are some minor conflicts and they quarreled a few times.

After a few words with Imaguchi and getting to know his situation, Imaguchi was released by the police. He was not suspected of committing a crime.

After a search by Kudo Shinichi and the police officers, they found that there were only two ways to reach the front and back yard without the people eating in the restaurant.

One was the tree between the front and back yards. They had checked the area around that tree and found that although the branches were relatively dense, shorter people could get through.

However, through their inspection, although there were signs of damage around the branches, they were not enough to carry a body, let alone two people.

Kamijou Hideko said that the deceased was very good at fighting, so whoever was able to subdue him must also be very skilled, had practiced, or had drugged the deceased.

But those who could do this were either too thin and unable to move the deceased, or too tall and tall to pass that road.

The other way is to go around the back window of the toilet and go from the warehouse to the outside. In this way, you can successfully avoid everyone's sight. After killing Kazuki Futami, return from the yard.

However, after investigating this route, there was no trace that anyone had entered it. Moreover, the distance back and forth was too far, the time it took was too long, and it did not match the time of death at all. It was a deadlock for a while.

"Is it possible that the murderer went directly to the backyard, drowned the deceased, and then came back directly?"

“There are only two doors in the restaurant, the front door and the back door. People who eat in the restaurant always use the back door to enter and exit from the backyard.

Therefore, people usually pay more attention to the back door and may not notice who is entering or exiting. But it was impossible that no one saw anyone coming in or out, so the murderer must have gone around from the front door to the backyard, and then returned after killing people. Kudo Shinichi shook his head and said affirmatively.

"But this is simply impossible. The last customer left the restaurant at almost 7:25, and the body of the deceased was found at a little more than 7:30. There was less than ten minutes in between. How could the body suddenly appear?

We have asked in detail, and the other party did not see the body of the deceased, nor the person who died. Moreover, the guest was leaving with a friend at the time. Someone proved that he would not be the murderer of the deceased. "Officer Memu frowned, wondering what the problem was.

"If there are no problems with these, then there must be something that has not been discovered yet." Kudo Shinichi did not believe that the deceased would suddenly appear, nor did he believe that the murderer could really commit a seamless and perfect crime.

When several people were in a deadlock, the police from the laboratory department sent a message.

When they examined the body of the deceased, they found that the clothes of the deceased were stained with grass juice. According to the type of grass and the traces on the body, they found that the clothes were stained with grass juice.

The deceased had stayed under the tree connecting the front and back yards, and he was still lying down.

Someone should have dragged the deceased under the tree to form that kind of mark.

"Lying down, could it be that the deceased was already dead or in a coma?" The police officer touched his chin and felt very strange.

According to their original conjecture, the murderer should have sneaked into the backyard and drowned the deceased, and then ran back.

But now it seems that the deceased may have been killed before reaching the backyard.

But the deceased was obviously drowned, and there was only one pool in this restaurant, whether in the front or back yard or anywhere else.

The deceased's mouth and nose were indeed filled with sand and algae from the fish pond. If there were no accidents, he had indeed drowned in the fish pond.

"It should be almost the same! Mr. Futami was either unconscious and moved to the pool and drowned, or he died before and was moved to the pool again.

But the first feeling is unlikely. "I spoke out casually from my heart and the policeman's own words. After I finished speaking, I seemed to have thought of something, and my expression was a little thoughtful.

"Why is it impossible?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Imaguchi as if he had grasped something.

"Because there are people coming and going in the restaurant, no one knows when the next customer will leave. If the murderer wanted to kill Mr. Futami, it would be too risky to move the person to the pool. Even if the person is drowning, within a period of time It can also be rescued inside.

In this case, it would be impossible to drown Mr. Futami, at least not for ten minutes.

Even if you don't want to kill Mr. Futami, but just want to scare people, but it's still difficult to control the time, Mr. Futami may really die, just like now. "The more I spoke, the clearer my thoughts became, "So Mister Fu must have been dead at the time and was moved to the pool. "

"But in this case, how could the deceased drown in the water in the fish pond? The laboratory department has also checked the water in the deceased's body, and it is indeed from the fish pond." The police officer standing aside scratched his head.

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Imaguchi's mind, but before he could say it, he heard Kudo Shinichi speak.

"Because the water that drowned Mr. Futami was indeed from the fish pond."

"What?" Everyone looked at Kudo Shinichi in surprise.

Only Imaguchi nodded silently in his heart.

“The fish pond is indeed dead, but the water in it is alive and can be taken away.

The murderer filled some water in the pool with something, then took the deceased out alone, subdued him, and let him drown in the water. The water container does not need to be very deep, even a basin is enough.

After drowning the deceased, the other party hid the body in the grass under the branches. Because it was relatively wild, no one discovered the reason why the grass grew too high. Then just find a suitable time to put the body of the deceased into the pool. "Kudo Shinichi.

"That's true, but then wouldn't the murderer be found?" The police officer nodded, then felt a little headache.

It can be said that anyone who can invite the deceased out, subdue him, and move the body is a suspect.

The note asking the deceased to go out belonged to Hideko Kamijou. Although she did not have the strength to carry it, she was probably one of the murderers.

The remaining three are all men, and naturally have considerable strength. Even if they cannot subdue the powerful Futami Kazuki, they can still drug them and carry them. All three people have the time and motive to commit the crime. In this case, all four people may be the murderer or accomplice.

"No, in fact, the murderer can only be one person, and that is Mr. Yoshida Isshiki." Kudo Shinichi pointed to the chef standing aside.

Isshiki was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised and wanted to defend himself.

"Why me? It's possible for everyone, right?"

“Only you and the shop owner know that the tree can connect the front and back yards.

Although everyone has time to commit crimes, only you have the ability to commit crimes. The deceased was very strong, and others had no way or ability to subdue him.

But you can. Not only can you put drugs in food, but as a chef for so many years, you are also very strong and can subdue the dead.

The most important thing is that you are still smelling of grass juice. Maybe it’s because the clothes are black and you didn’t notice it! "

"So that's it!" Isshiki Yoshisada stood there and exhaled. He didn't expect to be found out so quickly, and that he had committed so many crimes.

"Actually, I didn't know him originally, and it doesn't matter who he is to me. As long as I can cook here quietly every day, I'll be happy.

But who knew that one day he suddenly came and said that he wanted to share part of this store with the boss. Naturally, the boss would not agree. Not to mention anything else, just decorating this store like this cost a lot of savings, so how could it be given directly to others.

During that time, I was always afraid that the store would suddenly close down, but nothing happened to the store and it continued to operate. However, he often came to the store to cause trouble and eat overlord meals. But this was considered a trivial matter. Although I was angry, I had no other thoughts.

But later, when I was eating out, I suddenly heard Kazuki Futami drinking with someone else.

He said that part of the real estate certificate of his store, although not large, still belongs to this store and can be said to be closely related. He said that he would use the real estate certificate to mortgage his own store, and then open a martial arts gym of his own. He also said that he had already found a location and was just short of the mortgage.

I was furious at that time. Although this store is not a famous store, it has a history of 20 or 30 years. I have been here from the beginning and regard this place as my home.

But now that guy actually wants to destroy this place and my lifelong dream. How could I watch.

So I printed out a note saying it was from Kamijou-san and asked him to wait for someone in the front yard. Then add a little something anesthetic to what he eats so that he will collapse when he reaches the yard.

Then I pretended to be unwell, secretly came to the front yard, soaked his head in a basin of water, drowned him, and then hid his body under a tree.

When the time is right, take his body out and put it by the water, pretending that he drowned. "

After Isshiki Yoshii finished speaking, he allowed the police to handcuff him.

The most surprised among everyone was the store manager. He did not expect that Mr. Isshiki would be so reluctant to part with this store.

In fact, Masato Irie knew what he said before, but he had been thinking of a way. He didn't expect Mr. Isshiki to be so decisive after knowing it.

If he had known earlier, his methods would have been tougher and it would not have led to this situation.

But it's too late to say anything now.
