Chapter 838 This Must Be Uzo's Trap
Maori Kogoro used to be a policeman, and now he is a detective. Regardless of his identity, he is still an expert in murder cases.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that the police were suspecting Sayuri Shimamura - when encountering a homicide case, checking the acquaintances around the deceased first is indeed a more effective basic procedure.
"Don't worry! Miss Shimamura is innocent." Thinking of this, Kogoro Mori patted his chest twice.
He glanced at Sato Miwako, then at Jiang Xia who was listening in quietly: "After I separated from Xiaolan and Jiang Xia, I drank with my friends for a while, and then took the train back. While waiting for the train, I looked at the watch, and it was exactly 7:30 in the evening. The two stations are not far away, and I arrived at Beihua Station before 8 o'clock.
"Then on my way home, at the back door of Beihua Junior High School - right there." Maori Kogoro walked to the balcony and pointed outside, "I met Miss Shimamura. She said she knew a good place to see the Toudou Beach Bridge, so we went there for a ride together."
“When we got there, it was around 8:30 in the evening, and we had some drinks and talked for an hour and a half.
"After that, I left for home at around ten o'clock and stopped by Miss Shimamura's company. By then, it was already ten fifty - that's when we called the police."
Sayuri Shimamura also listened silently.
After hearing the last sentence, she added carefully, "I opened an import company in Chaoyang Town, and I just stopped by to pick up some information."
While speaking, although she was looking at Sato Miwako, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia.
——Shimamura Sayuri didn't expect that she would bring in a drunk Maori Kogoro as an alibi tool, and Jiang Xia would be brought in as well. If it were normal times, she would be very happy to see Jiang Xia, and might even go to a celebrity to ask for an autograph, but now...
Sayuri Shimamura bit her nails nervously.
Although she felt that her plan was very thorough, she also had the great help of Kogoro Mouri.
But at this moment, a famous detective was standing next to her... She was always worried that if something went wrong, Jiang Xia would suddenly show an "I understand" expression in the next second, then look at her and say with pity: Miss Shimamura, please turn yourself in...
Then all her painstaking planning would be ruined.
…
Just thinking about it, what you fear will come true.
After listening to the testimonies of two key witnesses, Jiang Xia seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Sayuri Shimamura and Kogoro Mori, his gaze moving back and forth between the two of them, as if he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Sayuri Shimamura's heart suddenly lifted up and her heart rate soared in an instant.
The next second, the high school student really spoke.
But it wasn't Jiang Xia who was speaking.
——Ran Mao Li has just recently discovered some fun in being a detective, so when a few people were talking about the case just now, she stood next to Jiang Xia and eavesdropped.
At this moment, after hearing something that concerned her greatly, Mao Lilan couldn't help but look at Mao Li Kogoro with a suspicious look in her eyes:
"An hour and a half? What did you talk about?"
——Although Maori Kogoro and Kisaki Eri are currently separated, in Maori Ran's heart, they are still husband and wife.
Under such circumstances, Maori Kogoro actually went out with another woman to see the scenery and chat, and they chatted for such a long time...
When Kogoro Maori was stared at by her, his expression froze slightly.
After a moment, he snorted, "Children, stay out of your own business!"
...Actually, he and Sayuri Shimamura didn’t talk that long.
Because Kogoro Mori remembered that he was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the middle of the conversation.
During this time, he couldn't prove that Shimamura Sayuri had been by his side. However, considering the distance between the bridge and here, plus the time he had been asleep... Even if Shimamura Sayuri had sprinted straight between the two places while he was asleep, she wouldn't have been able to get back in time to kill her roommate.
Kogoro Mori then felt that it was not a big problem.
Moreover, it was really not nice to talk about the incident of "falling asleep during a date" - it would make him seem old and lacking energy, and it would also make Sayuri Shimamura seem unattractive... and both were obviously not true, so in the end, he decided to keep silent about it.
However, when thinking of this embarrassing incident, Kogoro Mori sighed, but also felt a little confused.
——I don’t know why, he didn’t feel sleepy at all when he started the ride, but he suddenly fell asleep later. And he seemed to sober up especially quickly today…
Thinking about it, Maori Kogoro raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: Forget it, maybe it was because I drank another cup with Miss Shimamura at that time, so I couldn't resist the sleepiness. Anyway, judging from the time, she didn't have time to kill anyone.
Kogoro Mori quickly put aside these "useless details" and stopped thinking about them.
He yawned listlessly and continued to watch the police collect evidence.
…
At the same time.
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the scene of the crime and fell into deep thought.
The murderous aura on Vermouth faded quickly.
Currently, the only thing that attracts Jiang Xia to stay here is the fresh Shikigami clinging to Shimamura Sayuri's calf.
——If it were a different case, Jiang Xia might try to poke the murderer a few times to see if he could squeeze out some fresh murderous intent and enjoy the process of growing food.
But Sayuri Shimamura was not brave enough - when it was dark and windy, she did exude a lot of murderous intent when she faced Kogoro Mori who was knocked down by sleeping pills.
But now, surrounded by a group of policemen, Sayuri Shimamura suddenly became clean and looked harder to squeeze than vodka.
…
Jiang Xia gradually lost interest in the process of solving the case and wanted to end it quickly.
However, as an “uninformed bystander”, if you want to solve the case yourself, you have to travel too far to the check-in point, which is also very troublesome.
How about...
Jiang Xia looked at Vermouth next to him, and then looked at Maori Kogoro himself who had experienced everything. His eyes moved, and suddenly he had another idea.
——Although Vermouth is very lazy in producing murderous aura, she has many rare skills and connections, and will undoubtedly be an interesting ally.
And now, it was a rare occasion for me to go out with Vermouth. Since she was here, I could show her something else.
Well, let’s make things a little more difficult for her—I don’t ask Vermouth to be like Gin, bubbling with murderous intent when poked, but she should at least return to her normal level…
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and typed a few words.
Then he yawned as if he was very sleepy.
He rubbed his eyes and shook his head as if trying to force himself to stay awake, but in the end he seemed unable to resist his sleepiness and walked towards the sofa in the corner of the living room.
…
Vermouth was standing nearby, quietly reducing her presence.
Suddenly seeing this scene, she was slightly stunned - as an outlaw who had used many tricks, she could tell at a glance that Wuzo was not in a good state.
I wanted to go over and ask what was going on, but before I took a step, I changed my mind: That's Uzo...
Vermouth stopped again suspiciously.
The next second, she realized she had made the right decision.
——Uzo glanced at her and smiled at her from an angle where no one could see.
Almost at the same time, Vermouth's phone vibrated and she received an email.
