The atmosphere was a bit dull.
The corners of Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched slightly. He said that he knew who the criminal was, but he was just being stubborn.
He had just arrived and hadn't even seen the scene yet. It would be impossible to solve the case based on the alibis of just three people.
But Sakaki Makoto calmly said that he already knew who the criminal was.
This made this famous detective from Kanto feel a little ashamed.
"Then tell me, where is the evidence?"
Seeing Kudo Shinichi's stubborn expression, Sakaki Makoto realized that he was a little too impatient.
When dealing with someone who is extremely competitive, there are two ways to deal with it once and for all.
One is to deliberately lose to the other party and make the other party think that you are not as good as him.
The second is to make the other party feel inferior and bow down to him.
But no matter which one it is, it is based on the premise of the same conditions.
Sakaki Makoto was the first to arrive at the scene. He had already conducted a survey and collected enough information, so he was able to determine who the criminal was.
Kudo Shinichi has just arrived and hasn't even been to the scene. If he can deduce the truth, is he still a human being?
The preconditions are not equal. Even if Sakaki Makoto defeats him, Kudo Shinichi will not admit defeat. Instead, he will regard himself as his number one opponent and challenge him one after another.
Sakaki Makoto hates unnecessary trouble the most.
But he can't lose either, as it affects his future fame.
So he decided to give Kudo Shinichi a chance to show his skills.
So, he put down his arms and shrugged: "Didn't you say we should decide the winner?"
"Then go and take a look at the scene. Once you come to a conclusion, we can compare the answers."
Officer Megure said with some concern: "Brother Sakaki Makoto, the criminal wouldn't have escaped while you were competing, would he?"
"Of course not. As long as the police control the club and don't let anyone in or out, he won't be able to escape."
"Because the prisoner is in this room."
Sakaki Makoto's gaze swept across Kawasaki Soun and the other two.
When he heard that the prisoner would not escape, Megure Juzo felt relieved. He also wanted to see who was better between Kudo Shinichi and Sakaki Makoto.
Without saying a word, Kudo Shinichi took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket.
As a famous detective, he was always prepared for a case, and he was never disappointed.
A group of people followed him into the scene.
Kudo Shinichi first examined the body. The cause of death of Akira Takizawa was suffocation caused by the cord groove in the neck. There was a circle of black and purple marks on the edge of the neck, accompanied by fractures of the tracheal cartilage and the greater angle of the hyoid bone.
The soles of the deceased's feet were flat on the ground, and except for his twisted arms and pupils that were as small as pinholes, there were no bruises or purple or blue spots on his body.
Then, Kudo Shinichi checked the keys in the drawer again.
"Detective Tomi, did you find any fingerprints on the key?"
Tomi immediately said, "No, no fingerprints were found on the key."
“Not even the deceased’s fingerprints were found?”
"Yes."
Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly, then checked the door bolt again. He found that it was broken by someone's violent collision or hammering, and nodded.
There were small amounts of heroin scattered on the table and on the ground. The value of this drug was comparable to that of gold, and only popular gigolos could afford such an expensive price.
The table was in a mess, with all the cosmetics on it falling over, including lipsticks and eye shadow boxes, falling to the ground.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone watched Kudo Shinichi walk around the room, checking every detail.
During this time, Sakaki Makoto followed Ishikawa Hide out the back door and each lit a cigarette.
"Ishikawa-san, please accept my condolences."
Sakaki Makoto sighed and said.
"Yeah... the dead can't be resurrected. Takizawa Akira is the top star in our store. If he dies, the business will plummet..."
Ishikawa Hide looked a little lonely and exhaled a puff of cigarette. He was smoking Red Envelope Marlboro, which was a foreign cigarette like Sakaki Makoto.
This is a heavy smoker.
Sakaki Makoto said silently in his heart.
Most people cannot resist the smell of Red Envelope Marlboro. This kind of cigarette is choking and irritating to the nose and mouth. Its only advantage is that it is strong and intoxicating.
Once you get used to this kind of cigarette, you won’t feel anything when smoking other cigarettes.
Ishikawa Hide and Sakaki Makoto stood beside the trash can, speechless for a long while, each taking a puff of their cigarettes.
It’s not that I’m craving for cigarettes, but that I have nothing to say.
A murder has happened and everyone is in a heavy mood. It's impossible for Makoto Sakaki to pull Ishikawa Hide aside and chat about family matters.
There is a place for nonsense.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, after this case is over, are you willing to..."
"Please allow me to refuse."
Sakaki interrupted him.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next step will be to win him over and naturalize him, hoping to get him to join the gigolo agency and become the next top star.
Regarding being a gigolo, Makoto Sakaki would never agree.
Especially after hearing that Mrs. Yoshida weighed 300 kilograms.
With that weight, if you fall down, you might lose half your life...or even your life.
Although he is short of money, he will not be like some local officials who are so hungry that they will eat anything and even insult people's race.
Only a Showa man like Takizawa Akira could tolerate it.
After all, the Japanese are warriors who dare to fight tanks with rifles...
"call...."
Sakaki Makoto exhaled the last puff of his cigarette and put out the cigarette butt in the stainless steel groove above the trash can. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a small white bag in the trash can.
"Huh? This is..."
Sakaki Makoto bent down and took out the small bag. He looked at it carefully and found that there was still some white powder left inside, which also gave off a sour smell.
