"Huh?"
"is that so?"
"Hahaha, Kudo-kun is right!"
Megure Juzo did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he patted Kudo Shinichi on the shoulder generously, cleverly resolving the embarrassment.
"Alas, in the end, it's still up to Kudo-kun to take action."
Kudo Shinichi raised his head proudly and glanced at Sakaki Makoto.
"Um?"
Sakaki Makoto's eyebrows twitched as he saw the spark of fighting spirit in the other party's eyes.
Will to fight?
How could such a thing appear?
This was the first time I met Kudo today, so it was impossible for me to have any conflicts with him.
The family feud and hatred...can't even be mentioned.
Since there is no grudge in the past and no hatred in the present, where does the desire to fight come from?
Thinking of Suzuki Sonoko's evaluation of Kudo Shinichi, Sakaki Makoto suddenly realized something.
A person who loves reasoning, when meeting an opponent of equal strength, will subconsciously compare the two and try to see who is better.
Besides, the other party is just a high school student. It is normal for him to be young and frivolous and have an impetuous personality.
Sakaki Makoto smiled silently, without any intention of competing with Kudo Shinichi.
I will walk my own Yangguan Road, you walk your single-plank bridge, and we will keep to ourselves.
There's no benefit in undermining each other, so why do we have to compete to see who's superior?
Besides, there's no benefit in solving the case...why bother yourself with it?
Let him be as arrogant as he wants, the bright moon shines on the river.
Let him show off.
Kudo Shinichi came to the hall with full confidence, holding the physical evidence, where all the people in the club gathered.
There were quite a few of them, 24 in total.
Among them, there are 18 gigolos, 4 waiters and 2 cleaners.
But among these 24 people, 7 were in the lobby when the incident occurred, 11 were in the public dressing room and never left, and they could testify against each other, and two others followed Ishikawa Hide out the door, so there were only three suspects left.
They are: Kawasaki Soun, 25 years old, a gigolo.
Minamoto Shigeharu, 24 years old, deputy store manager.
Fukuyama Gin, 23 years old, waiter (potential gigolo).
Minamoto Shigeharu is the second-in-command of the club who follows Ishikawa Hide. Normally, everyone calls him Shigeharu-kun, while Ishikawa Hide prefers to call him Genji.
Although he was regarded as a suspect, Minamoto Shigeharu's expression did not change at all, and he still had a cold, dead look on his face.
"Mr. Yuan, may I ask where you were and what you were doing when the incident happened?"
Kudo Shinichi asked the first question.
"Upstairs, sorting out the bills."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"No."
Kudo Shinichi nodded and turned to look at Kawasaki Soun:
"Mr. Kawasaki, do you have an alibi?"
"I...I was smoking at the back door when the crime happened...No one can prove..."
Kawasaki Soun stuttered, looking guilty.
"Mr. Fukuyama, what about you?"
Kudo Shinichi looked at the thin Gin Fukuyama, but he did not treat him as a criminal in his heart.
The reason is very simple. In the club, Gin Fukuyama has too little experience, and Akira Takizawa is the top star in the club. Gin Fukuyama is not qualified to enter his dressing room at all and can only stand outside the door and pass on messages.
Once Akira Takizawa has put on his makeup, he will go with him to see Mrs. Yoshida. If he is the criminal, Akira Takizawa's face should be fully made up.
Of course, this is just Kudo Shinichi's initial speculation. He will not give up questioning just because the other party is less suspicious.
"Well, I'm talking to Mrs. Yoshida. She tells me to knock on the door every ten minutes."
Fukuyama Ginjiang repeated what he had said before.
"Humph! I think you should stop pretending. You were the one who killed Takizawa Akira!"
"You had a big fight with him before."
Kawasaki Soun said sarcastically.
"You, you are talking nonsense!"
Fushan Yin's face changed and he defended himself, "I just had a quarrel with him. How could I kill him?"
"Besides, don't you have any motive to kill?"
"I see you often go to see Brother Takizawa with a small box, and Brother Takizawa gives you money. You two must have some secrets!"
"trade?"
Megure Jusan noticed the factor and asked, "What is going on, Mr. Kawasaki?"
Kawasaki Soun looked unhappy, and stammered, "It's just that Takizawa bought some local specialties from me, it's not really a transaction..."
"Heroin..." said Minamoto Shigeharu.
"Takizawa is a drug addict and he often buys drugs. We never knew where he bought them from. It turned out to be you."
"No! It's not me! What evidence do you have?!"
Kawasaki Soun blushed and yelled, "What qualifications do you have to say that to me?"
"You used to be the top star in the store. Takizawa couldn't compete with you, so he hired someone to cut your face. Compared to us, you are the one who hates him the most!"
The corners of Minamoto Shigeharu's stiff mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "That incident happened a long time ago."
"I have long forgotten it."
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Megure Jusan hurried out to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, go over there and take a rest. We'll tell you the answers after we finish our investigation."
"How long will it take? I have reservations for several guests tonight."
Kawasaki Soun looked impatient: "They are all big customers. If I breach the contract, I don't know how much money I will lose!"
"Shut up!"
Ishikawa Hide spoke: "Until the murderer of Takizawa is found, the club will suspend business!"
"Everyone, stay here quietly!"
