Leisure Holiday [Comprehensive]

Chapter 39 The Cafe Murder Case

Not only was the murder weapon missing, but the police once again questioned the three suspects separately and found that the three had no direct relationship with the deceased, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were strangers.

However, because the deceased often came to the coffee shop as soon as it opened in the past week, and usually sat down and had a light meal at noon before leaving, the store manager and the clerk were somewhat familiar with him.

Moreover, according to customers who often visited this coffee shop, the deceased did not have any disputes with the manager of the store Matsumoto and the staff of the South store.

On the other hand, Kakuda Shingo, not long after he stated that he did not know the deceased, his testimony was ruthlessly overturned.

According to the account of the station master who was questioned, Kakuda and the deceased arrived here on the same train. After they got off the train, they had a very violent quarrel on the platform and even fought.Other passengers later called the police, and both were taken to the security booth for investigation.

This kind of dispute has never happened here, so the station master was quite impressed with the two of them. When the police came to ask, he immediately recalled it.

The statement of the station master was confirmed by the police officers from the security booth at that time.At the same time, he also revealed a detail that the station master didn't know-after taking the two of them back to the security booth for education, the dead man who was released severely humiliated Kakuda in front of the security booth.At that time, Kakuda didn't wrestle with the opponent like he did on the platform, and I don't know if he endured it under the nose of the police.

Later, according to the memories of the coffee shop clerks, Kakuda always seemed to come into the shop within 30 minutes of the deceased appearing in the shop.

If it can be called accidental once or twice, then it has been like this for a week, which is very deliberate.

Regarding this point, the surveillance video in the store has honestly recorded it.After the police retrieved the video within a week, it was confirmed that what the shop assistants said was true.

Facing the evidence pointing to him almost completely, Kakuda still claimed that everything he did was in accordance with "Mimiko"'s instructions, and she let him come to the store at that time!Moreover, he had a quarrel with the deceased, but he would not kill for this!

Kakuda said over and over again that he was innocent, but he also said that he saw the monster killing people.

"Hmm..." Officer Ito didn't want to talk to this hysterical guy anymore.So, he simply said to Kakuda: "You said that 'Mimiko' asked you to come to the store at a certain time, but I checked your mobile phone just now, and your anonymous chat room does not have such content!"

Hearing Officer Ito's words, Kakuda suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Officer Ito with twinkling eyes, "I, I have a message from Mimiko! I keep every message If you don’t believe me, Mr. Police Officer, look at it!”

Kakuda held the phone up to the police officer as he spoke.

"..." Officer Ito took the mobile phone a little speechlessly. There was indeed a number marked "Mimiko" on it, and there were also records of messages sent by the two of them.

Officer Ito flicked through the records and frowned slightly. When the message records were turned to the end, he returned the phone to the address book, selected the name "Mimiko" and pressed the dial button.

"Beep—" After a busy tone, a mechanical female voice came from the phone—"The number does not exist, please check before dialing."

Officer Ito pressed the speakerphone after making the call, and the voice was particularly harsh when it sounded in the quiet coffee shop at this time.

Kakuda had completely collapsed, he fell to the ground, and kept repeating why this happened?

Everyone looked at him in silence.

At this time, a forensic officer came over to report the new discovery to Police Officer Ito.

Forensics found wool fibers from the blood-stained raincoat found in the compartment.

wool fibers.

Everyone's eyes almost fell on Kakuda's body—out of all the people present, he was the only one wearing a woolen vest.

Officer Ito took a deep breath, walked up to Kakuda and said in a deep voice, "Please assist the police in the investigation, Mr. Kakuda."

Officer Ito's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back.Kakuda broke down and cried, he lay on the ground with his head in his arms and murmured continuously: "It wasn't me, I didn't... it wasn't me, I didn't... I didn't kill people... I didn't kill people... It was a monster, it was a monster... It was monster!!"

Kakuda suddenly yelled and got up, running rampant in the store.

No one expected that he would suddenly explode, and without checking for a while, Officer Yidong was knocked down by him violently.

Fortunately, the other police officers present were not vegetarians either. Although such a murder case had not been encountered here for decades, they still had the physical strength to hunt down and subdue the criminal.

Soon, Kakuda was uniformed and handcuffed.

Taking advantage of this time, Conan touched the forensics officer and gently tugged at the edge of his clothes.When the forensic officer bent over and leaned over, Conan stood on tiptoe slightly, leaned into the forensic officer's ear and whispered to him if he found any murder weapon in the store.

The forensic officer shook his head.Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that this person was just a child, and he shouldn't and couldn't say these things to him.

When the words came to his lips, the forensic officer smiled slightly, and only said that this is not something children should ask.

"Hey hey~" Conan showed a big smile to show that he knew, then turned and walked towards Hattori.

After Conan turned around, the smile on his face had all faded away.That pensive look didn't look like a child who was only in the second grade at all.

At this time, Conan was thinking about the whereabouts of the murder weapon.He and Hattori checked the bathroom, and there were no other windows except for a ventilation fan. Moreover, after the forensic medical examination, the size of the murder weapon had been determined, and it could not be thrown out of the ventilation fan.It also cannot be washed away through the sewer.

However, the toilet had been searched by the police after the body was taken away, and no trace of the murder weapon was found in it.Conan and Hattori even searched the entire coffee shop.Moreover, after the police came forward to search the three suspects, they did not find the existence of the murder weapon.

The reason why Conan grabbed the forensic officer by the corner of his clothes and asked him if he found the murder weapon was because he had seen the forensic officer go to the back kitchen of the coffee shop before.Presumably, Officer Ito also had doubts in his heart, so he sent people to check.

Looking at it this way, this police officer Ito is quite reliable-much better than the one in Gunma County.

However, it is a pity that there was no luminol reaction on the suspected murder weapons in the back kitchen.At the same time, the blades of those knives have more or less slight dents, which are the marks caused by years of use. It is okay to cut vegetables, but it is a bit difficult to cut off a person's neck and carotid arteries.Moreover, the wounds they can cause are completely inconsistent with the "clean" wounds on the dead.

It's not that they haven't encountered bizarre cases before, but like this time, it's the first time for Conan and Hattori to encounter a case where the murder weapon has completely disappeared.

The two were thinking hard there, but Police Officer Ito was already going to take the team back to bring the suspect Kakuda back for interrogation.

The two were anxious, but there was no reason to prevent Officer Ito from taking the person away—now that all the evidence points to Kakuda, if there is no definite reason to stop the police from taking the suspect away, it would be obstructing official duties and breaking the law !

However, if the murder weapon is not found out, as a chain of evidence, it is equivalent to missing an important link.No matter whether the murderer is Kakuda or not, this will be an unsolved "unsolved case".

A pair of good friends could only sit face to face, and each went through the matter again, thinking about where the murderer might have dropped the murder weapon.

The two were concentrating on the reasoning of the case in their minds, until two neat "grunts" sounded, the two stopped at the same time, looked at each other with some embarrassment, and then turned their heads together.

The two raised their hands at the same time to check the time. It is already 1:10 p.m.

Misa Miyashita, who was not far from the two, could hear this "wonderful" chorus clearly.After being accompanied and comforted by colleagues during this period of time, Miyashita has basically calmed down.Now I heard the two teenagers singing in Wu Zang Temple, and I couldn't help laughing.She got up and walked to the kitchen, intending to find some snacks for the two of them to fill their stomachs.

At this time, Officer Ito had already left with Kakuda, and the other police officers in the coffee shop also withdrew.

It is obviously impossible for coffee shops to continue operating today.It was also to thank Hattori and Conan for their previous help. When Miyashita said that he wanted to find something to eat for the two, the store manager Ms. Matsumoto agreed without hesitation.

Misa Miyashita quickly brought two cakes and put them in front of Hattori and Conan.

Others had already brought the food in front of them, so there was no way to waste it, so the two famous detectives could only eat the cake depressed.

Seeing that the two of them did not refuse the cake, and that the cake was quite delicious, Miyashita shifted his gaze to the store manager who was tidying up the tables and chairs.Perhaps the atmosphere in the store eased up after the police had all withdrawn, and Miyashita also became lively and talked more.

"Did Ms. Matsumoto make the jelly in the refrigerator? When did you make it? I didn't see it when I came to work in the morning. Can I take some back later? The jelly made by Ms. Matsumoto is delicious!"

Miyashita spoke on her own, but didn't notice that, following her words, the hand holding the broom was trembling slightly, and her knuckles were turning white.But in the next second, when she realized that other people were also looking over, she had covered up that strangeness.

She turned around and said to Miyashita with a chuckle: "It's ok, but it's not finalized yet, I'll pack it for you later."

At this time, Hattori and Conan had already put down their forks, and they took out their mobile phones at the same time, clicked on the webpage, and searched for something on it.

The two searched for a while, changed several keywords but couldn't find what they wanted.

Hattori scratched his hair, simply closed the web page and called Kazuha.

As soon as the call was connected, he whispered to Ye and send him a video she showed them on the plane.

On the other end, He Ye was holding the phone with a question mark on his face——I showed you a lot of videos on the plane, which one are you talking about next time?
