Chapter 842 Suspicious Boss Added Monthly Ticket Request ( )
Conan also looked at the newcomer at the door and was stunned for a moment: ...Why is it Toru Amuro? ?
Although Jiang Xia did say that Boss Amuro had a habit of working part-time jobs everywhere, it was not surprising that he suddenly became a courier at this time.
...But thinking about it this way, Conan found that from another perspective, perhaps this "working part-time" was problematic in the first place? - This would allow Amuro Toru to appear anywhere he wanted to, to collect information or reduce suspicion.
The suspicious Miss Takenaka, plus the suspicious boss Jiang Xia...
Conan's mind raced as he began to analyze and arrange countless possible situations.
…
On the other side, Toru Amuro followed the police officer into the living room.
"I heard that here..." Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly froze and he saw Jiang Xia dozing off in the corner.
Amuro Toru paused before finishing the rest of his words: "...was there a murder?"
"Hmm? It's you, what a coincidence." Inspector Megure came over.
Of course he remembered this mixed-blood brother - if he remembered correctly, Toru Amuro was also a private detective, and the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked. But this detective didn't seem to like doing his job, and no one knew what he was busy with all day long... But thinking about it, it was understandable. With an employee like Jiang Xia who solved cases quickly and was very active in accepting commissions, which boss would be willing to do it himself? He would definitely use his free time to develop his hobbies.
...Hiss, but, in this case, he is actually an unscrupulous boss who exploits underage detectives.
When Inspector Megure thought of this, his steps towards Amuro Toru paused slightly.
He cleared his throat and stopped talking:
"As you can see, a murder unfortunately occurred here..."
…
Inspector Megure briefly described the case.
Then he asked Amuro Toru: "What time did you come here? Was there anything unusual around? ...Uh, Amuro brother?"
"Hmm?" Amuro Toru came back to his senses.
He did notice some anomalies, such as Jiang Xia, who was always alert at the crime scene, was hiding in the corner and sleeping at this moment.
For example, in this case, Jiang Xia and his acquaintances were involved again...
Although he felt that the employee's condition was a bit strange, Amuro Toru took a quick observation and found that Jiang Xia's breathing was steady and he looked like he was just sleeping normally. There were also many police officers around, so nothing would happen for a while.
Amuro Toru therefore held on to an instinct that he couldn't explain, "Don't disturb things that shouldn't be disturbed." He didn't go over to wake Jiang Xia up, nor did he even look over there. He quickly focused on the case.
Although he was thinking about other things when Inspector Megure was speaking just now.
But as an intelligence officer who often has to multitask, Amuro Toru quickly remembered what Inspector Megure had just said after a quick recollection.
"I came here around 8:30 in the evening." Toru Amuro found the records he made while working.
Then he glanced at the photo of the two cohabitants on the bookshelf in the living room, and then looked at Shimamura Sayuri who looked unhappy. "The recipient of the package is 'Shimamura Sayuri', but when I came to deliver the package, a lady with long hair opened the door. Miss Shimamura was not at home, so it was that lady who signed for the package on her behalf. As for the abnormality..."
Amuro Toru glanced at some evidence bags in the corner, then looked at the traces on the table used to fix evidence. He thought for a moment, as if he had thought of something: "I remember that when the person signed for the package, she couldn't find the seal, so she signed with a pen. At first, the pen couldn't write, so I helped her unscrew it and looked at the refill. I found that the ink was almost out, and she shook it a few times before it could write. I remember that after signing for the package, she casually put the pen on the shoe cabinet next to her, then took the package and closed the door and went into the house, but now it seems... the pen doesn't seem to be at the scene?"
According to Toru Amuro's experience, any changes at the scene may hide important reasons.
He had no intention of hiding his incompetence and just wanted to help the police solve the case as soon as possible - although he had nothing else to do tonight, he had to get up early tomorrow and he didn't want to stay up late.
"...Pen?" Kogoro Mouri, whose switch was pressed by Jiang Xia, obviously thought of something at this time.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a pen.
Amuro Toru saw Maori Kogoro's action and raised his eyebrows: "Yes, it is such a pen... Why is it with you?"
“…”
Kogoro Mouri was silent for a long time, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in his little eyes, which were no longer dull.
After a moment, he looked at Sayuri Shimamura, who still had no intention of surrendering and gritted her teeth to resist to the last moment, and sighed: "When Miss Kazumi was stabbed and fell to the ground, did she knock a pen off her face, and did you pick it up?"
“…”
At the beginning, when Toru Amuro mentioned the pen, Sayuri Shimamura did not realize the significance of its existence.
But now, I heard that Maori Kogoro had guessed the situation at the scene, plus the little criminal investigation knowledge I learned while watching the news...
The color completely drained away from Sayuri Shimamura's face.
——Kogoro Mori guessed correctly.
When Kazumi was stabbed by her, she struggled briefly. Shimamura Sayuri panicked and suppressed her struggle. It was at that time that the deceased fell to the ground and hit the shelf, knocking the pen she had just used to sign the receipt to the ground.
After all, it was Shimamura Sayuri's first time to kill someone, and the person she killed was an acquaintance she had been with day and night. Even though she had a plan and was determined enough, she was still very panicked when she killed.
When she found a pen on the ground, Sayuri Shimamura thought it had fallen from her body. In order not to leave any trace of herself at the crime scene, she instinctively picked up the pen, put it in her pocket and ran away.
Unexpectedly, later, the pen accidentally fell into the car and was picked up by Kogoro Mouri.
And according to what the courier said just now, now, the pen has fingerprints of hers, the deceased, and the courier, and her fingerprints are at the end, covering the others... This means that she did come to this room after 8:30, and her alibi made by Kogoro Mouri was broken by physical evidence.
In addition, the police reacted so quickly that the bloody clothes worn when killing people and the cans used to drug Kogoro Mouri... although they have been discarded, they probably haven't drifted too far.
If this continues...
…
Sayuri Shimamura finally gave up resisting.
She collapsed to the side in exhaustion and slumped on a dining chair nearby: "It's all her... She's the one who threatened me! A year ago, my company imported a batch of contraband. After He Mei knew about this, she asked me to give her a share regularly. If I refused, she would report it to the bank where she worked and stop financing our company... I'm still so young, I can't be held hostage by this vampire all my life! So..."
