Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 1975 Suspicious old man

Oda Kiritoshi also chose a Chinese restaurant with a warm environment and rich dishes.

It was only during dinner that Mao Lilan and Conan talked about the case they encountered during the day.

The person who was killed was a member of a fraud gang. The gang specialized in defrauding the elderly living alone. After gaining the trust of the elderly, they defrauded the money and disappeared. Many people have been deceived.

The suspect who was caught nearby was the leader of the fraud gang, and the police suspected that the murder was caused by uneven distribution of stolen goods.

The witness was an old man whom they had met in front of the station before and who got on the same tram with them.

Later, they met a thief on the tram. Mao Lilan was going to use karate to deal with him, but a child fell in front of him. While Mao Lilan was tied up, the thief swung at Mao Lilan with a knife. Fortunately, the old man In time, he knocked out the knife in the thief's hand with a cane.

In Mao Lilan's words, he is "an old man who is very cool, very energetic, and seems to have a high level of kendo".

After catching the thief, Mao Lilan and Conan got off the tram, handed the thief over to the police, and were dragged by the police to take notes, but the old man didn't stay, and quickly got on the tram and left.

I thought we’d see each other again, but when they got on the tram again after completing the notes, they saw police cars converging under the bridge after two stops. Conan went over curiously and found out that someone had been beaten to death under the bridge.

The old man met them again as a witness, saying that he saw someone committing a crime on the tram, so he got off the tram and came to the police to provide clues.

"It's really fate," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "We and Mr. Fayue..."

Oda Kirito also felt relieved when he heard that the case was not complicated, and he was more concerned about Mao Lilan's evaluation of the old man, "An old man who can make Xiaolan say 'cool' is not easy. If there is a chance, I will also I really want to meet that Mr. Fayue."

Chi Feichi put a piece of pork ribs into the bowl, without raising his head, he said, "If you want to see him, go to Camellia Park. He lives near there and often performs paper plays for children in the park."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked up at Chi Feichi in surprise, "Brother Feichi, do you know that old gentleman?"

Conan also cast a concerned look.

He always felt that this case was not that simple, and there were many things that could not be justified, and that Mr. Fa Yue was very suspicious, but Chi Feichi actually knew him, so...

He still had doubts, but he could combine Chi Feichi's evaluation of the old man to consider whether there might be a misunderstanding.

"I went to Camellia Park not long ago, and saw him performing a paper painting drama for the children, and chatted with him a little bit," Chi Feichi said, concluding, "We met once, but we don't know each other well."

"Brother Chi, how can you be sure that the Mr. Fayue we are talking about is the same person you know?" Conan keenly noticed the 'Hua Dian', "We have not described the appearance of that old man, and there are more than one or two people with the surname Fayue Well, there are old people with the same surname as Fayue, since Brother Chi only met him once, why can you be sure that the Mr. Fayue we are talking about is the Mr. Fayue you met in Camellia Park?"

Chi Feichi glanced at Conan, there are only a few detectives here, "I can see that the other party has practiced kendo, and his level is not bad. He also has the same surname as Fayue, an old man, someone who can make me and Xiaolan feel that his kendo level is high. , there shouldn’t be many, and if an old man goes out alone, he seldom goes to places he is not familiar with. Camellia Park is on the line where you take the tram, which means that his active area is within the range of the ring line, and It is not in other places in Tokyo, and the general scope of activities is also the same, it is difficult to have a second person who meets these conditions."

Oda Kiritoshi also ate roast duck, eating with relish, and listening to it with relish.

He found that he didn't seem to hate incidents, but that he hated incidents that could not be resolved, or that were related to the company's development and personal emotions.

Take this incident as an example, it seems quite interesting to listen to Feichi's analysis.

Conan felt disgust from Chi Feichi's gaze, and asked speechlessly, "Brother Chi, what kind of person do you think that old gentleman is?"

"A lonely and warm-hearted old man." Chi Feichi commented.

"Lonely?" Mao Lilan recalled in doubt, "Mr. Fayue is indeed very enthusiastic and has a sense of justice, but I didn't find him lonely, but I feel that he is a very energetic old man!"

"Loneliness and vitality do not conflict." Chi Feichi lowered his head and ate the spare ribs. "Old people who live alone will sometimes be shrouded in loneliness."

"Old man living alone? Did Mr. Fayue tell Brother Chi that he was an elderly man living alone?" Conan asked again.

Fortunately, this time, Chi Feichi didn't give Conan another look of disgust, "He didn't say it, but a young man who has the time and energy to go to Camellia Park to perform paper-painting dramas for children every day, and meet strangers will also The person who chatted for a few words seemed to be very idle, listening to him talking about his daily life that day, you can probably guess that he is an old man who is looking for something to kill his loneliness, and he has lived alone for several years."

Conan took a second look at Chi Feichi. His little friend acted like he was sick in the morning, but after a "playing the piano and masturbating himself", his condition obviously improved a lot. At night, he can accompany them to analyze it, which keeps him motivated. "The victim is a fraud gang that specializes in defrauding the elderly, and Mr. Fayue is an elderly person living alone. Would they have known each other long ago?"

Crazy hints!

Odagiri Min also interjected, "Conan, you are not suspecting that Mr. Fayue was deceived by them, are you?"

"Mr. Fayue is very vigilant and clear-headed," Chi Feichi said, "No matter how lonely he is, he doesn't look like an old man who would be deceived by a liar."

Mao Lilan turned her head and smiled helplessly at Conan, "Conan, you just think too much!"

Conan hesitated to remind, "But..."

Chi Feichi put down his chopsticks, took the teapot to add tea to the cup with a calm face, and said, "You guys got off the tram halfway because of the thief, and it will take at least half an hour to take notes. Mr. Fayue didn't stay at that time Make notes with you, even if he got off at the next stop after witnessing the murder scene, and then rushed to the bridge, in terms of time, he should not run into you."

Seeing that Chi Feichi had noticed, Conan nodded and explained the details, "Sister Xiaolan and I spent more than forty minutes taking notes. We saw a police car on the tram and got off at the next stop and rushed to the bridge, but Mr. Fayue is still one step behind us, and I also feel that the timing is a bit unreasonable."

"What's so strange, it may be that the old gentleman took a stop and took an extra loop on the tram line. That tram line takes just over forty minutes to complete a circle," Mori Kogoro said holding a beer mug He took a sip of wine, sighed comfortably, and continued, "It is precisely because I sat around for a long time that I witnessed the murder, and then I met you under the bridge with the same nosy people, I have to say , this is also a kind of fate!"

"But uncle, after catching the thief, when Mr. Fayue parted from us, he was still holding a cane in his hand. When we met under the bridge at the scene of the murder, he no longer had a cane in his hand. If he had been waiting On the tram, would he throw his cane on the tram and not take it off?" Conan frowned slightly, "And he said that he usually uses the cane to let others treat him as an old man and take care of him, but he doesn't seem to be Unlike the kind of people who obey the old, you probably don't like others treating him as an old man, right?"

Mao Lilanchi asked, "Conan, do you think Mr. Fayue is lying?"

"This kid not only thinks that Mr. Fayue is lying, but also suspects that Mr. Fayue is related to this case, or even the murderer, right?" Oda Kirito also looked at Conan and raised his eyebrows, "For example, as an old man living alone, Mr. Fayue was actually killed The scam gang had cheated and decided to take revenge. They used some method to call those two people over while riding the tram, killed one of them, and then got on the tram, pretending that they had sat for an extra lap before witnessing the murder, and blamed it on the other A person, in fact, he didn't take an extra lap on the tram at all, and the extra lap time was used by him to kill people."

"Isn't it easy to verify?" Mori Kogoro took another sip of beer, half-moon eyes said, "If he leaves the station to kill people, there will be a ticket inspection record at the exit, right? And it is also easy to be detected by the station's surveillance cameras. It was photographed, there is no way to do it without anyone noticing it!"

Oda Kiritoshi was also excited when he heard it, took out his mobile phone and started dialing, "I'll call Police Officer Megure to investigate..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Why is Min so active?

Could this be the irresistible contagion of "detective spirit"?

Thinking about it, he was not interested in reasoning or communicating with others. He always encountered incidents, and he was almost used to finding clues and reasoning when he arrived at the scene of the crime.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Thinking that he usually only dared to call Takagi to ask Takagi, he could feel that Oda Kiritoshi also directly asked Officer Megure's behavior, showing the 'arrogance' of the second generation of Sakura everywhere.

Oda Kiritoshi also called Megushisan to talk about his doubts after the discussion here, and while waiting for Mumusan's news, he poured a glass of beer and drank with Chi Feichi and Mori Kogoro.

The murder of a member of the fraud gang needs to wait for news, and Zenan Youhui's murder has no extra clues to discuss. The topic at the dinner table gradually moved away from the case and turned to other matters.

The recent big news in Tokyo, whether Minister Odagiri is busy recently...

Kogoro Mori chatted, gulped down gulp after gulp of wine, and soon looked drunk, pulled Chi Feichi and Odagiri Toshiya, and talked about his working life when he was just out of the police academy.

"The first time I saw Minister Odagiri, I was so nervous at that time, I kept thinking about how to say hello, but I didn't expect him to remember me..."

"Speaking of Police Officer Megure, I still remember one time when I was under surveillance, his wife happened to appear in that mall..."

Toshiya Odagiri, Chi Feichi, Conan: "..."

Silently listen to the gossip of the police!

Kogoro Mouri drank heavily, and vividly told the story of Mu Mushisan's surveillance, encountering his wife in the mall by chance, and being forced to act out a "idiot uncle pestering a beautiful woman" with his wife.

When Oda Kirito also received a call from Mumu Shisan, his mind didn't turn back from the wonderful story to reality, and he said with emotion, "Officer Mumu, your wife's acting skills are really good..."

On the other side, Mu Mu Shisan's voice was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
