Chapter 1281 1289 [Uzo is the boss] Ask for monthly votes o(〃'▽'〃)o
Conan nodded and had no objection. To him, investigating a case was more interesting than visiting a tourist attraction he had visited several times.
In addition, he had another guess: "Speaking of which, if Mr. Fa Yue was bold enough, or based on the principle of 'the most dangerous place is the safest place', maybe the cane he was holding just now was the murder weapon.
Jiang Xia also had no objection. The attractions he liked were movable - he would prefer to appreciate the scenery wherever these people were around him.
…
Half of the six high school students were planning to search for the murder weapon nearby. The other three did not have a strong desire to travel. The three female high school students looked at each other for a moment, and finally joined them silently.
Several people searched nearby places where the murder weapon might be hidden, but didn't find much.
Just as they were discussing whether to study the cane in the old man's hand.
Hattori Heiji's cell phone suddenly rang.
He lowered his head and saw the caller ID. His eyes lit up: "It's Noda calling. Looks like we have a clue!" Noda was the young policeman from before.
Hattori Heiji picked up the phone and was about to press the speakerphone button, but he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia next to him.
Hattori Heiji: “…” To be honest, he was not too optimistic.
...How about finding a pair of headphones, one for Kudo and one for you, and then we can listen to the two of us secretly compete with each other without any cheats?
Just as I was thinking about it, a hand suddenly reached out from the side.
Yuanshan Heye had been following the three detectives for so long that she had become a little interested in the case. When she heard that there was a clue, she decisively pressed the speakerphone button.
When he took his hand back, he glanced at Hattori Heiji in confusion: "What are you dithering about?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
...You are so quick!!
However, the hands-free function has already been turned on, and turning it off again seems timid and not very nice.
Hattori Heiji had no choice but to take a deep breath, pretending that he was just slow just now, and listened quietly to the clues found by the police.
As expected, we got some useful information over there.
"We checked Mr. Hozuki's train IC card. He took the train directly from Ukimachi Station to Santaka Station. There was no record of him getting off the train. The crime scene was closest to the Kojima Station. Based on the time of death, Mr. Hozuki should have been on the train at the time of the crime."
The young policeman sounded a little happy, which meant that Fa Yue De Ma had an alibi.
But there is another thing that does make this old man seem to have a considerable motive.
"Regarding fraud... many elderly people feel ashamed or sad and are unwilling to report the case or even talk to us. However, based on what I have learned so far, several of the victims are friends of Mr. Fa Yue.
"The one who had the best relationship with him was a lady named 'Shibata Mitsuko'. She was suspected to have been deceived by a young man named 'Mogi Takashi'. Her neighbors said that Mogi Takashi looked quite similar to Mitsuko's deceased son - Mogi Takashi was also a member of the deceased's housekeeping company. Because of work, he accidentally helped Ms. Mitsuko clean the garage, and the two met in this way.
"After that, Mogi Takashi always took good care of her. He would go to her house whenever he was free to chat with her and help her buy and change furniture. The two seemed to get along very well and their relationship was as good as that of a real mother and son.
"However, the good times didn't last long. After Ms. Mitsuko gave Mogi Takashi a huge sum of money, he suddenly disappeared. Not long after that, Mitsuko hanged herself - these contents were pieced together from the diary left after Mitsuko's death. This was also the opportunity for us to suspect this housekeeping company."
"Mitsuko?" Hattori Heiji's heart moved when he heard the name.
"That's the lady in the photo, right?" Jiang Xia asked the police officer on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Fa Yue's departure time is exactly the same as the train's arrival time? Is there a delay?"
"this……"
There was a sound of typing on the keyboard coming from the other end of the phone, and the other end seemed to be confirming something.
After a moment, the police officer's voice sounded again, sounding a little hesitant: "He left the station about 16 minutes later than the vehicle arrived at the station."
When Conan and Hattori Heiji heard this clue, they suddenly thought of something and two exclamation marks seemed to appear above their heads.
After hanging up the phone, the detectives looked serious and said, "Let's go to Mr. Fa Yue's house. If we ask him some questions directly, we may get more clues."
…
The group then hurried back to where they had just left, ready to return to Camellia Park.
I heard from the police officer just now that Fa Yuede Ma’s house is near the park. There is a sign with the word “Fa Yue” hanging on the door, so it is not difficult to find.
On the way, Jiang Xia looked around and sensed the current location of the eating cat.
Then he turned on his phone, typed two lines of text, and pressed send.
It is normal for a famous detective who openly accepts commissions and is very popular with repeat clients to exchange more emails. No one thinks much of it.
Jiang Xia calmly sent the message and sighed like a tired office worker. Then he put his phone back into his pocket and continued to run towards his destination with the high school students.
…
"The construction site at 5-chome, Santani-cho."
Gin looked down at the email and reported the address to Vodka.
After saying that, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to focus on the business. For the time being, he ignored Wu Zuo's commanding tone like he was commanding his subordinates, and also stated the other requirements of the young cadre: "Stop far away, just enough to see the situation there clearly, wait until the police leave, and then get closer, and wait for the target to come out alone."
"Police?" Vodka was startled, and then his nerves tensed up - "Police" was undoubtedly a powerful weapon for Wuzo to harm innocent cadres.
…
However, when he carefully drove to a nearby hillside, found a hidden high point in the shade, and looked at the construction site with a telescope, Vodka couldn't help but wonder:
"Brother, there are no policemen over there, only a sneaky old man - have the policemen left? Should we go over there now?"
Gin looked at the time and thought it was unlikely. It was probably because Uzo hadn't brought the police over yet and everything hadn't started yet.
He looked out the window: "Wait a little longer."
Dealing with a few Osaka peripheral members who were on the verge of being exposed was such a trivial matter that he didn't need to do it himself.
But Gin realized at this moment that he had underestimated the level of incompetence of some people in the Osaka branch. In addition, he came to Osaka on a mission personally assigned to him by "that master". And if the missing member who might leak secrets had not been found yet, and a few more were added... Even if they didn't leak much important information, in the eyes of the boss, this would definitely be a major dereliction of duty.
