"Toes?"
Sakaki Makoto mentioned his toes more than once, and everyone began to pay attention.
"How can you tell from the toes?"
Just as Sakaki Makoto was about to speak, he heard Kudo Shinichi answer, "For people who are strangled, the toes are usually level with the soles of the feet."
"For people who have died from complete strangulation, their toes will naturally droop."
"Right, Mr. Sakaki Makoto."
The child is teachable.
Sakaki Makoto nodded with a smile: "Kudo brother is right, you can see that the soles of Takizawa Akira's feet are in a normal horizontal position, so I can conclude that he was strangled to death first and then hung up."
Kudo Shinichi probably came to this conclusion based on this point.
It seems that the famous detective is still quite capable.
"From this, we can know that the body of the deceased was hung by someone."
"As for why I can conclude that it was Mr. Fukuyama who did it..."
Sakaki Makoto spread his hands and said, "Just ask Mrs. Yoshida to ask."
"See if Mr. Fukuyama has been away for a while around 5:20."
If Fukuyama Gin really hung the body, his alibi would naturally be invalid.
Unless he has a better excuse...
Fukuyama Gin lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.
“But why did Fukuyama fake the scene?”
Megure Jusan asked: "What good does he get from doing this?"
Sakaki Makoto glanced at Fukuyama Gin and suddenly sighed: "Regarding this matter, I think it would be more appropriate to let Mr. Fukuyama explain it himself."
"Fukuyama, did you really do this?" asked Minamoto Shigeharu.
Fukuyama Gin raised his head and looked at Minamoto Shigeharu.
"Brother Yuan..."
"It's me... Mr. Sakaki's reasoning is correct."
Minamoto Shigeharu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Why do you do this?"
"You want to help me get away with this?"
Fushan Yin bit his lip, his eyes were complicated, and his thin body twisted a few times.
"Yes, I want to help Brother Yuan get rid of the crime!"
"Brother Yuan, do you still remember the high school student you helped at the roadside convenience store five years ago?"
"It was raining heavily that day, and he was cold and huddled near the door of a convenience store. You gave him 10,000 yen and asked him to go home."
Fukuyama Gin's voice began to tremble.
"But he said that he had lost all ties with his family and had nowhere else to go, so you brought him to the club..."
Minamoto Shigeharu opened his eyes wide. Of course he remembered this incident. The person that Fukuyama Gin was talking about was himself.
When he introduced Fukuyama Gin to the club, Fukuyama Gin was not favored because he was not handsome, but he was the top star in the store at that time, so Ishikawa Hide reluctantly agreed.
Although he could not be a gigolo and could only work as a waiter, Gin Fukuyama stayed there from then on.
Five years had passed in a flash, and so many things had happened that he could no longer remember them.
But today, at this murder scene, Fukuyama Gin actually brought it up again.
"I... When I saw you, Brother Yuan, kill Takizawa Akira, my mind went crazy and I just wanted to help you get away with it."
"That Takizawa Akira is a scumbag! He hired someone to hack you, Brother Yuan. I lurked beside him for two years, hoping to avenge you one day!"
Fukuyama Gin grabbed his clothes with both hands, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.
"But the one who should do it is me, it's me!!!"
"Brother Yuan, just wait...why...why..."
Two lines of tears flowed down.
Fukuyama Gin squatted on the ground, hugged his knees and burst into tears.
"So you faked the suicide scene of Takizawa Akira in order to exonerate Minamoto Shigeharu."
Sakaki Makoto said dimly: "You even left enough evidence, which is your alibi."
"Normally, after a suspect gives an alibi, the police will investigate it one by one. But Mrs. Yoshida left after the incident, so naturally no one would expose your alibi."
Looking at Gin Fukuyama who was crying bitterly, Makoto Sakaki didn't know what to say.
Is his idea wrong?
There is nothing wrong in repaying a favor.
But it would be wrong to hide the murderer.
If the police had not brought in a detective, according to Megure Juzo's reasoning, the case would have ended in suicide.
An ordinary detective would point out Fukuyama Gin as the murderer because of his confession, and Fukuyama Gin would then admit it openly.
But Kudo Shinichi is not an ordinary detective. He found out the real murderer Minamoto Shigeharu, but failed to catch Fukuyama Gin because Mrs. Yoshida left.
But unfortunately, I happened to be at the scene, and none of the three criminals escaped.
While profiling, Sakaki Makoto could feel how Fukuyama Gin felt when he took action.
It was a very complex, tense and desperate determination.
It's not just about repaying a favor...
"You bastard!"
Minamoto Shigeharu yelled and grabbed Fukuyama Gin by the collar.
"Who told you to do this!"
"I'm helping you, not asking you to repay me!"
"There's still a great life waiting for you, bastard!!!"
Looking at Minamoto Shigeharu's furious face, Fukuyama Gin actually laughed.
"Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you angry in many years."
"After that incident, you became completely numb and you lost all your energy."
"Does this count as me...saving you?"
Minamoto Shigeharu was stunned and subconsciously let go of his hand.
He had been hanging around in the club for a long time, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning behind Fukuyama Gin's words.
