Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 172: Falsehood disappears with the "truth" 3

Shiratori had already taken out his phone while Takagi was talking. He flipped the screen to show everyone, "This is what we inferred through the process of elimination. If nothing unexpected happens, this lady should be Ms. Inoue Ryan."

As for how much time and effort the elimination method took, it can be seen from the fact that they did not even have time to rush to the scene of Ishihara Chaoyang's death.

When Conan saw the photo on the phone, he couldn't help but take a step back in shock. It was Limu!!!

It was not the face he had seen recently in the Gunma villa, but the face he had seen when Limu was doing business with Huibara.

Noticing Conan's actions, Maori Kogoro looked down at him and said, "Kid, do you know this lady?"

This person's face looks ordinary, the kind that has no memorable features.

Conan heard Maori Kogoro's question and pretended to recall for a moment, "Hahaha, I don't know him. I recognized the wrong person just now. Sorry~"

After hearing his answer, everyone's eyes, which had just been on Conan, returned to the photo in Shiratori's hand.

Before looking away, Toru Amuro raised the corners of his lips slightly. Conan is really a good kid. It seems that what happened in the hospital before has made this kid learn from his mistakes.

In fact, it is not particularly difficult to confirm the identity and contact information of Ms. Inoue Rin.

Officer Megure looked at the photo and said, "Then when Mr. Keisuke Hayakawa and Ms. Aoi Ishihara come over, please ask them to tell us the information of this lady."

After discussing this issue, Maori Kogoro seemed to be thinking about something. "Inspector Megure, it turns out that the idea we had at noon was correct. Now these cases have begun to have other common points. I think if we continue to investigate along this line, we may soon have a major breakthrough."

Hearing his inference, Conan couldn't help but look at Maori Kogoro. He exclaimed in his heart, Uncle is so awesome this time, he actually grasped the key point so quickly!

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Toru Amuro again.

It's a pity that the surveillance footage from Officer Kazami in Mr. Amuro's hand cannot be shown to Officer Megure and the others. Now Officer Megure and his uncle have not included Keisuke Hayakawa as a suspect at all.

But he couldn't just watch the police completely ignore Keisuke Hayakawa. Looking at Toru Amuro, who had no intention of mentioning that there was nothing wrong with Keisuke Hayakawa, he decided to listen carefully to the interrogation of Keisuke Hayakawa.

Maybe he could find some loophole, and then he could induce his uncle to realize that something was wrong. At least he wouldn't have to warn him in front of Mr. Amuro now.

Officer Megure looked at Takagi, "Takagi, please continue."

Hearing this, Takagi Wataru looked at Amuro Toru and said, "The only thing left is the computer that Mr. Amuro brought back to Mr. Miyagawa's room. I wonder if Mr. Amuro and Conan have come up with any results just now."

Amuro Toru spread his hands, with some helplessness in his tone, "It's full of experimental data and file reports. Conan and I can't understand those things. As for the others... we didn't find any hidden information."

He had just put the computer back to where the evidence was kept.

"I looked through Mr. Miyagawa's computer because I suddenly remembered that we met Mr. Miyagawa in the restaurant yesterday at noon. He seemed to be in a hurry to do something."

Amuro Toru took out the business card he had on him and handed it to Inspector Megure, "At that time, Mr. Miyagawa bumped into that kid Genta, gave us this business card, and left in a hurry.

He looked like he was in a hurry to do something with someone, and he had this computer in his briefcase at the time.”

No one else expected that this incident had happened yesterday. Inspector Megure looked at Tomoki Miyagawa's business card in his hand.

Conan pulled the corner of Amuro Toru's clothes, "Oh, oh, Amuro brother, didn't everyone figure out yesterday that Mr. Miyagawa still smelled of alcohol? It was the kind of alcohol that smelled like ice cream bread."

??? Ice cream bread smells like alcohol?

Everyone present, except Toru Amuro, had a question mark on their heads. What does it mean that ice cream bread smells like alcohol? What kind of adjective is this?

"It should be some kind of cocktail mixed with honey and beer."

Amuro Toru added with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't know much about alcohol. If Mr. Maori was here yesterday, maybe he could recognize what kind of alcohol it was."

Kogoro Mori accepted Toru Amuro's praise without hesitation and laughed out loud, "Ahahahaha."

The others had helpless half-moon eyes, but Inspector Megure had to admit that Kogoro Mouri was indeed the one who knew the most about wine among them.

Conan looked at Toru Amuro speechlessly. He didn't believe Mr. Amuro's nonsense. Mr. Amuro must know what kind of wine Mr. Miyagawa drank.

Thinking of this, Conan held his chin and thought. There are quite a few types of alcohol that can leave this smell on the body. What kind of alcohol is it?

Sato Miwako seemed to be reminded of this. After thinking for a while, she said, "If it was a cocktail, then it shouldn't have been drunk alone in the room. Maybe Mr. Miyakawa drank this kind of wine in the bar on the cruise ship."

But having said that, everyone present, except Conan and Amuro Toru, felt that it didn't matter where Miyagawa Tomoki drank the wine. What was important was his whereabouts after leaving the restaurant.

However, due to the normal investigation, Officer Megure decided to investigate more thoroughly. He looked at Takagi and Sato and said, "How about this, Takagi and Sato, you two will be responsible for investigating Mr. Miyakawa's whereabouts yesterday."

"hai!" The two men closed the police manuals in their hands at the same time and answered Officer Megure.

Conan, who was just about to leave Amuro Toru for a solo investigation, quickly raised his hand and jumped on the spot, "Me, me, me, let me go with Officer Takagi and Officer Sato! I also smelled that smell yesterday, maybe I can help them confirm it."

He always felt that Mr. Amuro was deliberately ignoring the wine, maybe he was hiding something.

Takagi Shigeru and Sato Miwako looked at Conan hesitantly. After all, they were going to investigate the bar, and Conan was still so young. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to go with them?

"Just let me go with you."

Conan looked at everyone pitifully, "Mr. Amuro has to help with the investigation, so he certainly doesn't have time to help Officer Takagi and Officer Sato identify the two of you."

Hearing him say this, the two of them looked at Inspector Megure and Conan's current nominal guardian, Kogoro Mouri.

Inspector Megure couldn't make the decision on this matter, and he also looked at Kogoro Mouri.

Maori Kogoro was uncharacteristically calm. He looked down at Conan, then said to Takagi and Sato: "Then I'll trouble Officers Takagi and Sato to take care of this brat. I'll bring him back after he helps you investigate the wine."

Since the temporary guardian has agreed, naturally no one will have any objections.

Amuro Toru also glanced at Conan, with a subtle curve at the corner of his lips. He was once again shocked by Conan's sharpness. Others didn't understand what this child wanted to do, but he knew what Conan wanted to do.

However, this child's idea is likely to fail.

Even if they found that kind of wine, they didn't have an invitation and since they were police officers, the people in the bar wouldn't be able to provide them with more relevant information.

Even if Officers Sato and Takagi asked, they would only get the answer that Miyagawa Tomonori had drunk alcohol there, and no further answers.

How could the people in the bar tell the police the truth? As for the drinks, even if they ordered them, they would only get one glass of wine.

Toru Amuro, who had arranged people to take turns to wait in the bar, was already thinking about what excuses he would use to arrest all the people involved in the auction after returning to shore. The police would definitely not let go of anyone who participated in such an auction.

The investigation will only be carried out later, and the most important thing now is to continue sharing case information.

At the signal from Officer Megure, Sato Miwako informed everyone of her and Officer Megure's investigation of the surveillance, "The results of the surveillance at the lower deck warehouse have also come out."

As she spoke, she minimized the data she was viewing and used her computer to adjust the surveillance screen to important nodes.

Miwako Sato clicked the pause button and pointed at the person in the video. "This is the earliest time that the deceased, Ishihara Chaoyang, appeared in the surveillance video."

Everyone looked at the time on the surveillance camera, it was 13:25 p.m.

Shiratori looked at Ishihara Chaoyang's expression in the surveillance video and asked, "He seems to be very anxious?"

At this time Maori Kogoro also said: "Actually, there is one thing I also find strange."

He looked at Ishihara Chaoyang who was standing alone in the picture, “As everyone knows, I came here on a commission from the Ishihara family to protect their people.

As far as I know, every member of the Ishihara family is followed by at least two very capable bodyguards. As for the deceased Mr. Ishihara Chaoyang, he had at least four bodyguards around him.

It can be said that none of the four people in the Ishihara family particularly need my protection."

He pointed at Ishihara Chaoyang, who was standing on the screen, and said, "This is the strange thing. The bodyguards around the deceased disappeared at this time, and Mr. Ishihara Yuki had no reaction to this when he was at the scene before."

Officer Megure nodded, indicating that he had made note of this. "I will ask Mr. Hayakawa and Mrs. Ishihara later."

It’s true that Ishihara Aoi is also Mrs. Ishihara.

Miwako Sato clicked play again, and as the picture changed, Ishihara Chaoyang disappeared from the surveillance camera.

After Ishihara Chaoyang's figure disappeared, Sato Miwako clicked the speed adjustment button again, and only returned to normal speed after the figure appeared on the screen again.

"At 13:30, the man in gray appeared."

Miwako Sato didn't click the pause button this time. After all, she and Inspector Megure had already studied the gray-clothed man's condition and couldn't tell anything from his appearance. Moreover, there were important sounds in it, so it was not appropriate to click the pause button.

"He was only in the warehouse for 5 minutes..."

Looking at the person in the picture, Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly.

The man in gray left Miyagawa Tomoki's room at 13:05 p.m. According to the time calculated previously, these 25 minutes were enough for him to walk all the way to the warehouse.

The most important point is that there are no water stains on this person's clothes. In this weather, if the person had walked all the way from Miyagawa Tomoki's room, the stains on his clothes should not have disappeared so quickly.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the man in gray is not the one who appeared at the door of Miyagawa Tomoki's room. The other is that this person changed his clothes in the middle.

If you are familiar enough with the cruise ship, this time is enough for a person to change clothes.

Just as Toru Amuro was thinking, a sound that was familiar to everyone was faintly heard from the surveillance camera, the sound of a gun with a silencer.

Maori Kogoro exclaimed in a low voice, "This voice!"

Officer Megure nodded, "Yes, it was a gunshot."

Miwako Sato also pressed the pause button the moment the gunshot was heard in the video. The time displayed on the surveillance screen was 13:32 p.m.

Officer Megure continued, "There are two gunshot wounds on the body, so there was another one later."

The video continued to play, and soon the same sound was heard again.

Then the man in gray left at 13:35 p.m.

The surveillance video continued to play, and Sato Miwako said: "At 14:20, Mr. Taguchi came to the warehouse, and then at 14:35 the police captain and everyone else arrived at the warehouse. During this time period, there was no sound from the warehouse, and no one had been there."

And just as she said, there was nothing else unusual in the video.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Everyone looked at the time and knew that it should be Keisuke Hayakawa and Aoi Ishihara who had arrived.

Takagi Wataru walked quickly towards the door of the conference room.

Miwako Sato, who turned off the surveillance video, called out to Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori, "Inspector, Mr. Maori, I just found the information about Sumire Naganuma in the investigation information I received earlier."

Hearing what Sato Miwako said, Amuro Toru also stopped, but he didn't go over to look.

The topic about Kodera Taishi was brought up by him and Sarina during lunch. He deliberately let Inspector Megure and the others notice the news through Kogoro Mouri, and he also knew roughly what the content of the document was.

Noticing his phone vibrating, it was an email. Amuro Toru glanced at the people in the room, but did not take out his phone to check it. Instead, he continued thinking.

At this point in the case, it has been basically confirmed that there are two criminals, and one of them should be him.

Toru Amuro looked at Keisuke Hayakawa, who had been led by Takagi Wataru to sit in a seat nearby. He confirmed Keisuke Hayakawa's suspicion after hearing two gunshots.

Actually... Toru Amuro looked at Conan again. With Conan here, he was not worried about not being able to solve the case.

He was more concerned about Limu, who appeared under the name of Inoue Rin. Perhaps he should let Kazami communicate with Inspector Megure so that the police would not focus their attention on her.

Amuro Toru took off the invisible earphones from his ears without leaving a trace, and his drooped eyelids concealed all his emotions. He might need to have a frank talk with Sarina.
