Chapter 3152 3164 [Conan Lets the Secret Out]
Three fishermen: "But after we arrived, we waited for a long time, but we didn't see Mr. Aramaki show up."
"It was more than an hour later, until 9:30 in the evening, that we confirmed that he was not late, but did not plan to come. It was clearly an agreed thing, but this guy broke the appointment at the last minute. We were a little angry, so we wanted to find him and ask why he didn't show up."
"Huang Juan likes sea fishing very much, so we went along the beach to look for him. Who knew that when we got to this place..."
The fishermen recalled the scene at that time and sighed: "When we walked near here, we suddenly saw something half floating and half sinking on the shore. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Huang Juan! He was wrapped in fishing nets, lying in the shallow waves, and looked... looked dead."
"We were shocked and called the police right away. You know the rest."
Inspector Yokomizo nodded, stepped in front of them and said grimly, "Is that so?"
"Yes, yes." The three fishermen couldn't stand it anymore. "Can you please not be so close to us? It's scary."
Inspector Yokomizo glanced at them once again with an oppressive look, then slowly stood up again.
Thinking of the news he had just heard from the onlookers, he asked meaningfully, "I heard that the deceased Mr. Aramaki had a very serious conflict of interest with the local fishermen. He was also arrogant and high-profile. The relationship between him and you is like fire and water."
At this point, his eyes became stern: "Didn't you three really drown him here, and then called the police as if nothing had happened, pretending that you had just found the body? - As far as I know, in many homicide cases, the murderer is actually the first person to discover the body!"
The red vest was startled, and then he became furious like a pepper: "What do you mean!"
The fat man in the blue vest quickly stopped him, then turned to Inspector Yokomizo and said, "We did have a conflict with Aramaki, but it wasn't so intense that we had to kill him. Just because the three of us were the ones who discovered the body, you think we are the murderers. Your judgment is really arbitrary."
The tall, dark fisherman also crossed his arms and said unkindly, "And we just came out of that restaurant. It's not like what you said that they have been killing people outside. If you don't believe me, go to that restaurant and ask!"
Suzuki Sonoko watched for a long time. After hearing this, she couldn't help but stick her head out from behind Jiang Xia and said, "The three of them were indeed in that restaurant just now, sitting at the table next to us."
"!" Inspector Yokomizo was stunned. He suddenly turned around to look at Suzuki Sonoko, and then looked at Jiang Xia beside her.
Seeing Jiang Xia nodded, the serious expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he became honest again: "So that's how it is, it seems I misunderstood."
Hattori Heiji glanced at this fence-sitter policeman, his eyes twitching slightly: "It's too early to say it's a misunderstanding now. They did go to the hotel, but who can guarantee that the three of them didn't kill anyone before going to the hotel?
"——As far as I know, these three gentlemen came to the store at different times. Each of them had plenty of free time. What they did during that time is only known to them."
The three fishermen didn't expect that these enthusiastic passers-by would ruthlessly stab them in the back after helping them. The expressions on their faces suddenly became complicated: "You..."
However, although the words are harsh, they do make some sense.
The well-informed Inspector Yokomizo narrowed his eyes and looked at the high school student who almost blended into the night. He knew that the other party was also a capable detective. The suspicion in his eyes suddenly rekindled.
And Jiang Xia didn't seem to object to this statement. The Tokyo detective looked at the three people and said to the young police officer who was in charge of recording: "Mr. Shimojo in red clothes came the earliest, at around 7:10. Then came Mr. Yoshizawa in blue clothes, who arrived on time at 8 o'clock. Finally..."
"Finally, it's me, Nezu Shinji." The dark-skinned fisherman stood in the night with his arms folded. Although he was tall, his presence was about the same as Hattori Heiji. "I was more than half an hour late, I arrived around 8:40."
The young police officer quickly took note of it, but suddenly his peripheral vision caught his eye and he was startled: “The body is moving!”
"?!" A group of people looked over and after a closer look, they realized that what was moving was not the corpse, but a child who had moved next to the corpse at some point.
Conan was concentrating on peeking at clues, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. He looked up and was shocked to see a circle of different looks.
Suddenly realizing that he had become the focus of everyone's attention, the fake child smiled awkwardly and quickly tried to change the subject: "How strange! This uncle was obviously drowned, but his clothes and body are covered with wounds, and he is even wrapped in a fishing net."
From the time the case occurred to now, as time goes by, the police's vigilance is gradually declining.
Conan was able to sneak up to the body, and the reporters outside finally managed to get near the police.
The peeping passers-by mutual aid group members breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the hard-earned scene before them.
Immediately afterwards, I felt something unusual.
Chianti: [This kid let the cat out of the bag. How did he know that the fat man was drowned, and not killed and thrown into the sea? - Hey, do you want me to shoot him?]
Vodka: “…” Go ahead and hit me if you dare - kill Uzo’s little toy, and when he asks you to pay off his debt, just don’t run near us.
No one knew whether Chianti really wanted to fight or not. However, her sniper colleague obviously disagreed with this proposal, which was not sure whether it was true or not: [Drowning and dumping the body into the sea, the appearance of the body is more or less different. As a child who often comes into contact with detectives, it is not surprising that he knows this.]
…
When the organization members were wondering whether Conan would be exposed.
seaside.
The naive police officers didn't think much about it.
As Inspector Yokomizo carried the child away from the body, he said casually, "The deceased was a very strong man, and he was a fisherman who went out to sea all year round. He must have been very strong. He was wrapped in a fishing net to prevent him from struggling.
"As for the wounds on his body, they must have been inflicted during the argument with the murderer - huh? From this point of view, the murderer must be very strong, and he is also likely to have wounds on his body!"
Conan: "..." That's not what I meant...
The peeping members of the organization: "..." Do these policemen have any brains...
Inspector Yokomizo put Conan away from the corpse, then couldn't help but turned his head and sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, still without thinking too much, and just said to his subordinates step by step: "Send the body for autopsy."
