Chapter 3156 3168 [Consortium Quality Inspector]
"Just because Jiang Xia is good at reasoning doesn't mean his classmates are also good at reasoning." Inspector Yokomizo sighed deeply, "What on earth was I expecting just now..."
One police officer lowered his head, secretly regretting.
At the same time, Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood something.
…
The two high school detectives were not the only ones inspired by Suzuki Sonoko's words.
Among the onlookers who were helping each other, some people also suddenly realized and understood what was going on.
Chianti didn't understand, but she figured it out from her private chat with Cohen. She said with a sigh: [This consortium daughter is indeed Uzo's accomplice. After all, she is still young, and the prompts are so blunt. Speaking of which, my coffee cup seems to be produced by a company under their consortium. I always feel it is not safe. I should change it when I go back.]
When Vodka saw her thoughts, he couldn't help but sneer. He looked down at the cup in his hand: "..." Haha, when you really start to reject the products of the Suzuki Group, you will find that you can't avoid these in life.
"But think about it the other way around. Given Uzo's script preferences, those who like to cut corners or use shady materials must have interesting networks and hatred relationships. I'm afraid such people won't survive for a few days in front of Uzo."
"From this perspective, the quality of the Suzuki Group's products is guaranteed. And I've already done a thorough investigation. Suzuki Sonoko hasn't taken over anything yet. For the time being, before this guy takes over, the Suzuki Group's products are still safe..."
…
On the coast.
The three fishermen looked at the policeman and the students who were huddled together, whispering something, and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
The man in the red vest urged again: "We have said everything we need to say. If there is nothing else, we have to go back. We still have work to do tomorrow."
Having said that, the three of them turned around and walked away.
"Wait, who said you can leave!" Inspector Yokomizo hurriedly stopped them, "It's still impossible to prove that you three are not the murderers."
The man in the blue vest stopped and said helplessly: "Then do you have evidence to prove that we are the murderer?"
Inspector Yokomizo was a little embarrassed: "That's not the case. But we should at least wait until the autopsy gives the specific time of death..."
The dark fisherman said impatiently, "Do we still need an autopsy? When we called Aramaki, the three of us were in the restaurant. Aramaki must have died at that time. The three of us have iron-clad alibis!"
Red vest: "That's right! If you insist on suspecting us of being the murderer, then tell me, how are we going to get through to the phone hanging on the fishing net from such a long distance?"
Inspector Yokomizo was sweating profusely, and for a moment he was unable to refute: "This, this..."
A voice came from the side: "That call was not answered by a living person, but a corpse."
"!!" Mao Lilan shuddered as if an electric shock had passed through her body, "A corpse...a corpse answered the phone?"
Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to a can that had floated in the sea at some point. Under the light of the searchlight, a red can was constantly rolling under the impact of the waves, sometimes being washed onto the beach and sometimes being rolled up by the waves.
Inspector Yokomizo looked in the direction he pointed, and after a moment of confusion, he suddenly understood: "So that's it. Mr. Aramaki wasn't lying on the shore all the time. Instead, he was pushed ashore by the waves after he died!"
The three fishermen were startled by his excited voice and frowned, "So what?"
Inspector Yokomizo snorted and laughed: "Don't you understand? - The deceased was using an old-fashioned keypad phone, and when it was washed by the waves, the phone fell out of his pocket and got caught on the fishing net.
"The deceased was pushed by the waves and kept rolling on the shore. As long as the phone button happened to press the broken shells on the beach when a call came in, the call would naturally be connected."
The three fishermen were stunned for a moment and lowered their voices: "But, but this is too coincidental..."
"So, the murderer was pretty lucky." Inspector Yokomizo finally overpowered the three suspects in terms of momentum. He was immediately proud. He glanced at Jiang Xia with gratitude, then looked back at the fishermen. "When I checked the call records just now, I found that the phone was covered with scratches. This is irrefutable evidence that it was rubbed against shells frequently!"
"In addition, the large number of scratches on the body also prove this point - although this is not a phenomenon that will inevitably occur, as long as there is such a possibility, your alibi will not stand!"
"Tsk." Red Vest sighed irritably and had to prove himself from another perspective. "Then you should quickly find out the exact time of that guy's death! - Thanks to that bastard Araki, we are very busy now. We have to spend much more effort than before to catch fish. You can't keep detaining us here until the case is solved."
As he was speaking, suddenly, Inspector Yokomizo's cell phone rang.
He looked down at the caller with a look of surprise, then walked a few steps to the side and answered the phone: "The time of death is out?...Oh, okay, okay, I get it."
When the three fishermen heard this key word, they immediately looked at him with bated breath. When he hung up the phone, the man in the red vest couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? When did he die?"
Inspector Yokomizo cleared his throat and pronounced solemnly: "Judging from the time of Mr. Aramaki's death, the alibis of the three of you are all invalid! From now on, you are officially the main suspects!"
Three people: “?!”
The red vest was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "I arrived at the restaurant at around 7 o'clock, and Yuta arrived at around 8 o'clock. Although Shinji arrived the latest, he went to worship his father before the appointment. Someone must have seen him in the temple - you tell me, what time did that guy Aramaki die? If we were somewhere else when he died, then we can't be the murderer!"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Even if you are somewhere else, you can still kill him on the beach successfully - as long as you use a little trick."
Inspector Yokomizo's eyes lit up: "What technique?"
Jiang Xia turned around and looked at the waves that kept hitting the shore: "The first step is the same as what you and Yuanzi said - first get the deceased drunk, then wrap him in a fishing net."
"Afterwards, the murderer dug a shallow pit about one person wide on the beach in the high-tide area and placed the sleeping victim in the pit."
"!" Suzuki Sonoko opened her eyes wide in surprise: It was the same as what she said just now, could she have really guessed it right?
Jiang Xia looked at her and said, "Afterwards, in order to prevent the deceased from escaping, the murderer placed something on him."
