The author has something to say: The details of Chapter 33 have been revised. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can go back and read it again.
I didn't think it through, sorry qwq
Wearing the vest of Mizukami Tetsuya, Suzumiya Kazuki, who had a clear mind, remained calm, but the expressions of the others changed to some extent.
Yuji Itadori thought subconsciously: "How is this possible?"
Not to mention that he remembered that Shui Shang Che was also a policeman. Just the fact that he was a sorcerer and carried a ghost with him made it impossible for him to use such low-level means.
Takagi Wataru was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "...Officer Matsuda, are you sure it was a murder weapon and not a dagger?"
"Dagger?"
"No, no, no, I was wrong, it's nothing." Seeing Mizukami Che also looking over, Takagi Wataru quickly shook his head.
Matsuda Jinping frowned, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He said, "I found a dagger wrapped in a black plastic bag in the trash can of A105. The door was closed and the glass door was intact. The only spare key was with the landlord."
He turned to Mizukami Tetsuya and asked, "Officer Mizukami, what do you remember about the layout of the room? For example, was there anything strange in the trash can?"
Shui Shang Che also said indifferently: "I felt unwell in the afternoon, and I went to rest directly after arriving at the room without any examination."
In fact, he had checked the room. Before he left, the room was clean. The murderer threw the knife in after he left, which was shortly after the crime. As for the method -
He looked around and easily found another loophole through which he could enter or exit the room.
But after all, everyone saw Mizukami Cheya's mental state when he came here, so it would not be reasonable to say that he had undergone a serious examination.
"And the short sword?"
"Self-defense."
There was a sense of relief in his concise words, as if he didn't care about the fact that the murder weapon was found in his room and there was no proof that it was placed there by someone else.
Even if he is a policeman, he is not qualified to carry sharp weapons. He said this in public. Even if there is a powerful person behind him, he should at least be punished.
Dazai Osamu sensed the ease in his words and glanced at him meaningfully.
Could it be that the drug hasn't taken effect yet and he is still in a trance, mistakenly thinking that this will attract attention?
After all, you don't believe that this half-baked detective can really find out anything, right?
When he thought about how Shui Shang Che had actually climbed to such a powerful position as the inspector, he couldn't help but sigh at the mixed crowd in the police force. Well... although Yokohama wasn't much better either.
Maori Kogoro touched his chin, and he was not as arrogant as usual when he found evidence to incriminate the murderer. Instead, he said seriously: "Officer Mizukami, the murder weapon was found in your room after all. Could you please wait until the forensic department arrives tomorrow to examine more evidence, and--"
"Sure." Mizukami Che didn't wait for him to finish and handed his police ID directly to Takagi Wataru who was standing beside him with a dazed look on his face. "I am willing to accept the investigation, but the short sword is a self-defense sword, so I'm sorry I can't hand it over for the time being."
Sato Miwako nudged the dazed Takagi Wataru with her elbow and said quickly, "Ah - we still believe in the character of Officer Shuikami. There is something fishy about this matter. Let's wait until tomorrow to check the fingerprints and so on before we say anything."
"I'm more inclined to blame the owner. We should also ask about the store owner's family." Jinpei Matsuda nodded.
When the investigation led to one of their own people, all the policemen felt embarrassed. However, looking at Mizukami Cheye who was still calm, no one thought that he was the one who did it.
The deceased, Jigang Yangtai, weighed about 150 to 160 pounds. He had been traveling outside for many years and was not in good health, but he was definitely not someone that an ordinary person could kill with just one stab.
Mizukami Tetsu was already in poor health. Takagi Wataru said that he had an accident on the cable car this afternoon, and it was so serious that he coughed up blood. How could he kill someone with such a fragile body?
Not to mention that the two people had never met before, and murder still has to be based on the basic law.
Miwako Sato wanted to call Inspector Megure to file a case in advance, but unexpectedly, a snowstorm came and the signal was so bad that even the text message failed to be sent. She said in a depressed tone, "The weather forecast said it would be sunny this morning..."
Yuji Itadori pointed at himself and asked tentatively: "Then can I leave?"
Matsuda Jinpei held a cigarette in his mouth and said vaguely, "Let's go, let's go. You should stay here for two more days, right?"
"Indeed." Yuji Itadori nodded, "If there is anything you need help with the case, you can come to me anytime."
Anyway, I can go back and ask Mr. Gojo, he will definitely have a solution.
Dazai Osamu also came over to ask for Itadori Yuji's contact information, and said with a smile: "Contact me when you have time."
As they passed by, he whispered, "About Liang Gong..."
Seeing the pink-haired boy's instantly horrified expression, he waved his hand, turned around and went back to the room.
Only four policemen and the Maori family were left on the scene. They were silent for a long time and still didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Mizukami Che who calmly patted Takagi Wataru on the shoulder and said, "Do you want to go eat first?"
He turned to Maori Kogoro and said, "Next time you solve a case, you should pay attention to Conan-kun and Ms. Maori Ran. Don't let the two children accompany you to see such scenes. It's not good for their growth. Look at Conan-kun. It's been a while since the last time we met. How come this child hasn't grown at all? He's even a little... thinner?"
Three black lines hang from Conan Edogawa's head. Hey, what does this have to do with him? It will be harder to sneak away next time you solve a case...
Maori Kogoro exclaimed, stared at Edogawa Conan in confusion, then turned to ask Maori Ran: "Ran, has this kid really gotten shorter?"
"Dad!" Mao Lilan angrily pulled Conan over. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly widened. She looked down at Conan, who was not even as tall as her waist, and asked in confusion, "It seems to be true?"
Conan Edogawa got angry: "It's the shoes! I changed my shoes!!"
Miwako Sato said, "We can't go to the hot springs tonight, so we can guard the scene. Let's go back."
Turn off the lights, close the glass door and paper door to keep the smell of blood out of the room.
Shui Shang Che also took out his mobile phone and sent a message while walking in front, then he slowly opened the door, and was immediately pounced into the arms of a tiger that flew out from nowhere.
Standing behind him, Takagi Wataru quickly supported him and said, "Mizukami Officer, are you okay?"
"Cough, cough, I, cough, I'm fine..." As if he was bumped somewhere, Shui Shangche held the tiger in one hand, covered his mouth and coughed for a long time, scaring everyone who were already frightened so much that they didn't even dare to breathe.
However, seeing that Mizukami Cheye could even knock a little cat into such a state, everyone was even more certain that he was not the one who killed the person.
"I'm the one who ruined the fun." Shui Shang Che also stepped aside to let everyone in first, and he closed the door last. His cold eyebrows drooped, revealing a sense of helplessness and self-blame. "Although I don't know how this case will turn out, I will resign when it's over."
Wu Hu retreated and sat beside him, quietly hooking his fingers, with tears in his eyes and a guilty look on his face: "I accidentally let the cat run away."
"It's not your fault for retreating. You did a great job." Shui Shang Che also said something with a double meaning.
The cute little dagger rubbed his sleeve without hesitation, and little flowers seemed to appear around it.
Miwako Sato asked Mizukami Cheya with some concern: "What about your brother..."
"I believe he will come to me on his own." Shui Shang Che also coughed a few times, and a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face. "I have a feeling that I will meet him soon."
"Congratulations in advance." Matsuda Jinpei picked up the egg roll on the table and ate it casually. "So what do you plan to do as a marine police officer in the future?"
Mizukami Cheya's physical condition is not suitable for the Metropolitan Police Department, and it might be better for him to change his career as soon as possible.
"Well, let's send Tui home first, and then see what we can do." Shui Shang Che also said with a smile, "If it really doesn't work, I think I can go back and inherit the family business."
Several people in the know: "Hahaha, it's true."
After all, they can give away gems at will. Only the big groups like Suzuki can compare with this company, right?
Takagi Shigeru's focus was on the first half of Mizukami Cheya's words. He still remembered how the Five Tigers Retreat came about, so he looked at the shaking short sword with some uneasiness, and seemed to be hesitant to speak to Mizukami Cheya.
Thinking about it this way, the unusual behavior of Minakami and the frame-up all happened after the appearance of this tanto. And how could Minakami, who was so cold, suddenly become so friendly to Ichiban Fukujin...
Could this be some kind of seductive demon? !
When I think about this, isn't sending a fairy home tantamount to sending her to death?
Takagi Wataru was in a terrible state. He winked at Sato Miwako frantically, but all he got in return was a concerned "Takagi, do you have an eye cramp?" He had no choice but to pick up a piece of potato chip in disappointment, planning to bring it up after the meeting was over.
…
On the other side, Morofushi Kagemitsu, who received a text message from Suzumiya Kazuki, looked at Nakajima Atsushi and whispered, "Mr. Mizukami is in some trouble. I hope I can help investigate. Do you want to come with us?"
"What?" Nakajima Atsushi asked quickly, "Should we tell Mr. Dazai?"
"Don't tell me for now, it shouldn't be a big deal." Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, "Loosen the screws behind the air conditioner outside the room A107, you can enter the room from there, then open the safe in the room, the password is 0527, scatter the jewelry inside..."
"What happened?" Nakajima Atsushi was a little curious.
Both of their rooms were on the second floor. After seeing that Mizukami Che had gone to have dinner with his colleagues, they had no intention of going over to disturb them. Instead, they re-analyzed the conclusions they had drawn before. Due to the blocking of Morobu Kagemitsu's supernatural powers, the two of them knew nothing about what was happening downstairs.
"Anyway, I believe Mr. Mizukami has his own reasons." Morobushi Kagemitsu stood up. "I have already checked the surveillance location, Atsushi-kun, you should be able to do it too."
Nakajima Atsushi nodded, and the two of them turned off the lights and pretended to be resting, but in fact they hid along the wall and sneaked into A107.
The moonlight was dim. The two stood in the empty and quiet room, smelling the still fresh smell of blood, and fell into silence.
Zhu Fu Jingguang said softly: "I think... I should take back what I just said upstairs."
Nakajima Atsushi, a boy who thought he was still a good kid, saw this for the first time and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Morobushi, are you sure that Mr. Mizukami is a policeman? And not an undercover sent by some black organization?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang opened the safe silently, and indeed saw several large gems. The most exquisite one was a pocket watch placed in a glass cabinet. The light purple gem reflected a halo of light, and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a lot of money.
"Mr. Mizukami wants us to help him deal with these?" Nakajima Atsushi was a little puzzled. "But why is there a corpse here? Could it be..."
Morofushi Kagemitsu took a deep breath and said to Nakajima Atsushi, "It's possible. I will go to Mr. Mizukami to ask for clarification, but I can't just watch him ruin his reputation and steal from others."
Nakajima Atsushi suddenly understood: "Maybe Mr. Mizukami's mental state has not stabilized yet, so he did such a stupid thing. If he wakes up, he will probably feel guilty. So Mr. Morobuchi, shall we go back now?"
Morofushi Jingguang rubbed his brows, walked over and lifted the white bed sheet that seemed to be trying to cover up something, looked at the dead man, and took a deep breath: "If it was done by Mr. Mizukami, then the murder weapon is most likely the short knife he left with him. Whoever did it could have left fingerprints or other evidence on this person."
"We have to help carry this body away and hide it. We must not let them suspect Officer Shuikami!" Morobushi Jingguang said seriously, "When Mr. Shuikami wakes up, I will accompany him to surrender, but we cannot let him be condemned and suspected by his colleagues now, which will further affect his psychological condition."
Nakajima Atsushi bit his lower lip and nodded slightly.
