Not too many out of four

It has been confirmed that the old man who committed suicide had his own motives for suicide. Now the situation suddenly turned into a murder case. The cemetery keeper was killed by someone and pretended to be a suicide.

The suicide accident turned into a homicide case, and the nature of the plot was completely reversed. Originally, it was only necessary to temporarily block the scene to confirm that the suicide was undoubtedly committed, and even the police officers from the first search section did not need to be dispatched.

Although Li Jia and the others were the only ones who went to the cemetery to worship yesterday, they did not have the motive to kill the administrator and there is no evidence to prove that they did the killing. As long as they go through the normal process, record a statement and ask for their identity information and their alibi at the time of the incident .

When the administrator committed suicide, they were cleaning up the house, even the car was parked in the garage in the yard and did not drive out. Theoretically, it is impossible to kill the administrator to burn down the house where he lived in the cemetery and then pretend to commit suicide. come back here.

Officer Miyazaki and the others also inquired about the movement of the family who came back from the nearby neighbors, and tried to extract useful information from the gossip, making sure that they did not leave the house after returning from the cemetery.

The cemetery is located in the suburbs, but it takes more than ten minutes to drive there, and the road is very bumpy and difficult to walk. It will only take more time to walk there.

It was raining in the area yesterday, and if they hiked there, there would be a lot of silt and dust on their shoes, but when they entered the door, they deliberately checked, and the shoes were clean and there were no traces of walking on the muddy road.

It is basically certain that the person Li Jia and his party came back to worship is not the murderer, but what police officer Miyazaki can't understand is that there are really people who look so similar in the world.

At first glance, there are almost two twins of different ages standing in front of them, and they both use Chuya Nakahara's name, which is enough to show how fanatical their parents are Chuya Nakahara fans.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Officer Miyazaki struggled for a while, and decided to muddle through: "We will inform you of the outcome of the matter."

It's better not to call them casually, the four of them all use the same name, and it's impossible for them to call their names as intimately as a little girl, try to confuse them as vaguely as possible, as long as no one pays attention.

"Excuse me, have you found the murder weapon?" Li Jia couldn't help asking.

If the administrator is really killed by someone, they can't sit idly by. The old man has been protecting Maotian Jianren's cemetery for so many years, and even helped Li Jia bury his mother to reunite their husband and wife. If they leave so directly, their conscience will also I'm sorry.

Officer Takeda hesitated for a moment, thinking that they were also involved in the case, it would not be good not to tell them anything: "The murder weapon is the rope that Mr. Mizuide hanged himself. The prisoner seems to have knocked Mr. Miide unconscious and then strangled him to death."

"Brother Zhongye" raised his eyebrows, and said strangely, "Do you still have to stun a 70-year-old man? Are there marks on the head from blows or scorched marks on the body from the electric shock device?"

To deal with a 70-year-old man, a young and strong man can easily strangle him to death. Why bother to stun him first and then hang him to death, even if it is to pretend to commit suicide.

Officer Miyazaki shook his head and denied, saying: "The coroner did not find these similar marks, but the strangle marks caused by hanging and being strangled from behind are different, so it is speculated that the prisoner has some knowledge about this, so Knock out and hang the dead."

They also have the same doubts, why it takes so much effort to deal with an old man who trembles when writing and has a shrunken stature. No matter how you look at it, this is an old man committing suicide.

It can also be seen from the suicide note left by him that Mr. Mizude’s hands became unstable and trembling when writing, coupled with the fact that he was alone in the cemetery all the year round and suddenly learned that he was terminally ill, it is very reasonable to have the feeling of wanting to commit suicide .

But the superiors insisted that this was a homicide case and asked them to investigate carefully and not let any suspect go, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go door-to-door to ask.

Mr. Mizude, the cemetery administrator, usually has any enemies, or people who have had conflicts.

To be honest, I just came back to town yesterday, and I have only had a brief encounter with the administrator. Li Jia and others who are not familiar with me are actually the least suspects, but I still have to come to confirm their identities and alibi.

"If we can't find the murderer, can we never leave?" Li Jia showed a worried and ashamed look, and explained in a low voice: "Our school will start soon."

The summer vacation is over, and the student's bounden duty is to go to school. It is indeed a troublesome thing to delay returning to Tokyo because of a case in his hometown.

Officer Takeda suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the case will be resolved within a week at most."

He took it for granted that Li Jia's words were misunderstood, thinking that what she said about going to school meant she, "Nakaya-kun" and "Zhongye", and it was really not good to delay them going back to Tokyo to go to school just because they became suspects in the case.

Watching the two police officers from the first search section leave, "Mr. Chuya" frowned and pondered: "The result will be available within a week at most."

His expression was very positive and confident, as if he had no doubt that the case could be easily resolved.

"Then the old man was really killed by someone else?" "Zhong Ye" leaned against the wall with his arms folded, frowning in confusion, "Didn't you say you committed suicide yesterday?"

The suicide case turned into a homicide overnight. When they went to the cemetery last night, not a single policeman was left at the scene. They just put up a cordon perfunctorily. Obviously, they didn't think this was an important crime scene that needed to be left behind.

Everything has changed since this morning. This time is too delicate to make people guess in a bad way.

"I went to see the corpse and the scene yesterday, and it was indeed a suicide." On the unpaved ground behind the house, there were only the shoe prints of the administrator alone, and the stool and suicide note he kicked on the ground, no matter how you looked at it It's all suicide.

The police from the First Search Division also said that the strangle marks on the old man's neck were the result of hanging himself, and that they were different from the strangle marks that were secretly strangled from behind. A professional coroner can easily spot the difference.

The nearby scene is not enough to make people strangle people to death from top to bottom.

"The only thing I can think of is that someone is deliberately trying to drag us here for a week." "Brother Zhongye" said calmly, his face looking a little ugly.

Many things can happen in a week, even if the police who searched the first section a week later told them that the administrator had definitely committed suicide, they would not be able to pursue anything.

"Mr. Zhongye" wondered: "Isn't there a suicide note now? The old man said that he has a terminal illness or something."

These things were spread all over the town yesterday, and the police opened the suicide note and checked it and confirmed that it was the administrator's handwriting. If the house hadn't been burned too thoroughly, they could use the cemetery's codebook to compare the handwriting.

"It's true that there is a suicide note, but the house where Mr. Administrator lived was burned down, so it is impossible to compare the words in the suicide note with his past handwriting." Li Jia lowered her eyes and said softly.

The old man who was still alive yesterday chose to hang himself after they left. Did he leave because he told her the truth and had no attachment to the world, or could he choose to leave because he couldn't stand the days of anonymity and fear?

The person is dead, and there is no way to ask the other person in person if there are more questions.

All they can choose is to wait and see what happens, quietly waiting for the person hiding in the dark to take action.

……

When she saw Mori Kogoro and his group including Toru Amuro from Polo Café downstairs, Li Jia was so surprised that she almost threw away the shopping bag in her hand. Fortunately, "Nakaya" caught it in time so that all the ingredients did not fall on the ground. on the ground.

"Uncle Maori, Ms. Lan, Conan-kun, and Mr. Amuro, why are you all here?" She didn't need to pretend to be surprised, and she didn't even think about pretending to hide anything from them.

"Father's client invited us here," Mao Lilan looked very happy, and said, "Is Li Jia here for a trip?"

Li Jia smiled and shook her head, and replied docilely: "I'm coming back to visit my mother."

The act of moving the grave that night was not honorable, and she didn't intend to tell them her original plan, but simply said that she came back to pay homage to her mother who disappeared in this small town.

Mao Lilan was at a loss and didn't know what to say to comfort her.

"Sister Li Jia, I have something I want to ask you." The famous detective who turned into a primary school student ran over, took her hand and acted coquettishly, just to ease Qing Mei's embarrassment and ask her some questions quietly.

Every time she saw her brother pretending to be a primary school student in order not to be exposed in front of Miss Lan, she would find it very interesting.

Li Jia walked away two steps according to his strength, squatted down and asked in a low voice: "What does brother want to ask me?"

"To be honest, are you involved in the case of the cemetery?" Conan Edogawa asked in a low voice after removing the cute expression on his face.

He glanced up at "Chuya", carrying a shopping bag full of hands, but his attention was always on Li Jia's side, and he did not let down his vigilance even if Kogoro Mori grabbed him and boasted.

It seemed that there was something nearby that he had to be alert to. The danger was very close to them, and he couldn't relax his mind for a moment.

Li Jia nodded obediently: "The day Mr. Administrator committed suicide happened to be the day we went to the cemetery to worship."

Moreover, they were the only ones who bought flowers to worship on the surface. As for whether anyone else went to the cemetery that day, the records in the visitor register were lost, and it was impossible for the police officers to find the person who went to the cemetery quietly.

"Suicide..." He murmured in a low voice, "Are you sure it was suicide?"

"Brother Zhongye went to the scene to see it. He must have committed suicide." The only doubtful point in the case was actually that the administrator was unable to extract the handwriting and compare it with the words on the suicide note.

Except for a suicide note, he left nothing behind and left this world cleanly.

"Why is a case that is confirmed to be a suicide always determined as a homicide investigation?" He even invited the famous detective Mori Kogoro to investigate, the young boy Qingjun's cute face tightened: "There must be some special reason."

Li Jia squatted obediently and quietly, not disturbing the "famous detective"'s thinking.

"Zhong Ye" gently held her elbow and pulled her up: "Don't squat all the time, your legs will become numb after squatting for a long time."

Although the tone was not very gentle, it was full of concern for Li Jia.

She responded softly, and asked curiously, "Does Chuya know Mr. Amuro?"

They even greeted and chatted a few words just now, it seems that this is not the first time they met.

"Forget it," his tone became cold, and he clicked his tongue in displeasure, "Don't look at him smiling like a good guy, but he is actually troublesome and dangerous."

"Chuya" didn't tell Li Jia about joining the Black Organization, and naturally he couldn't tell her that Toru Amuro was also a member of the organization, and that he had a code name like him and could contact the organization's second-in-command Rum.

In terms of status, they are actually on par, and they are all cadres with code names in the black organization.

It's just because the other party has joined the organization for a longer period of time and obtained the code name for a longer period of time, so he is almost the same as his predecessor, although he has no intention of respecting this senior.

In terms of hidden status and proximity to the core of the organization, Toru Amuro must be closer to the organization. He must be a deeply trusted member of the organization if he can contact the hidden Rum.

But as long as they have the same status on the surface, there is no need for him to please and follow his actions.

"Really?" Li Jia tilted her head in doubt, "But the sandwiches made by Mr. Amuro are very delicious. The sandwiches I brought home last time were made by Mr. Amuro."

Will the truly dangerous ones have time to delve into delicious and tasty dishes?Mr. Amuro works part-time at Café Poirot on weekdays and completes detective work in his spare time. He really doesn't look like a bad guy.

"Whether the food tastes good or not has nothing to do with whether this guy is a good guy or not," "Zhong Ye" secretly glared at a well-disguised black skin, and said, "Anyway, just don't get close to him."

It's just that the food is delicious, but it doesn't mean that he is a good person. The job at Poirot's Cafe is just a job he uses to disguise his identity.

Li Jia flattened her mouth, a little regretful: "I know."

She also thought that if she had the chance, she could try the new products of Café Poirot again, but she didn't expect Mr. Amuro to be a bad guy.

Edogawa Conan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Actually, you can find him if you need anything..."

In any case, it is also the Japanese public security police. It is not surprising that they will help people in difficulties.

As long as it is not related to the organization, Toru Amuro is a reliable person.

"Huh—?" "Chuya" almost dragged his tone, and Gao raised his brows in disbelief: "Kudo, you boy..."

Conan Edogawa was taken aback by his sudden increase in volume, and raised his voice in a panic to cover his words: "Wow! Brother, did you mean to invite me to live in your house? I'm so happy!"

"Zhong Ye" clicked his tongue but did not refute his words.

Mori Kogoro and the others will go to the client's house next, and the client will also arrange the accommodation, so we can take this opportunity to investigate separately with them.

As long as he is separated from Mao Lilan, and there is no need to hide his ability, Edogawa Conan will naturally show the usual attitude of Kudo Shinichi.

"Hey, Kudo, what are you planning?" On the way back, "Chuya" still couldn't help asking.

Anyway, there is no one to hide here, so he can ask him directly.

"I didn't come up with any ideas," the young boy explained helplessly, "It's true that Mr. Amuro is trustworthy."

"Don't you really believe that the guy with the hippie smile is a good person?" He avoided Li Jia and lowered his voice: "He knocked you with a stick and made you smaller."

Edogawa Conan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to know about it.

"I know," he replied calmly, paying attention not to let Li Jia hear their conversation: "Mr. Amuro's code name is Bourbon, but he is not what you think."

He hesitated for a while, whether to tell "Chuya" Toru Amuro's real identity, he almost never involved them in the previous plan, in order to ensure the safety of Li Jia, it is best to hide the distance from all the people in the Central Plains together open.

"It's not what I thought it was?" "Zhongye" looked at the kitten who ran out to meet Li Jia, and snorted slightly: "Is he a turtle? He pretended to be able to hide it from everyone."

After finally remembering my own background and memories, and turning back into kitten activities because of shyness, it is completely self-deceiving behavior.

But Edogawa Conan thought he was talking about Amuro Toru, and it would not be a good thing for him to misunderstand him after thinking about it.

He grabbed "Zhong Ye" by the hem of his clothes and motioned him to squat down.

"Why?" The boy raised his eyebrows, and his tone was not very impatient, but he squatted down in accordance with Edogawa Conan's intention.

Kudo wouldn't want to tell him anything, Toru Amuro cooks delicious food and has a lot of part-time jobs, so he can't be a bad person.

"Well, Mr. Amuro is actually a member of the police." So he is really someone who can be trusted.

"what?!"
