Conan’s Corpse Picker

Fayue Dema was like an angry old lion, staring at Motegi Takashi who was hiding behind Jiang Xia, and wanted to get up and hit him twice.

Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't get rid of Hattori Heiji, he could easily break through the girl holding his right arm.

Who would have thought that those delicate hands would be like steel pliers after grabbing her, and her soft voice "Don't hit me anymore!" were two extremes.

Coupled with Jiang Xia who was blocking the front, and the police who hurriedly approached. Fayue Dema gritted his teeth and finally stopped angrily.

…

As soon as the Otaki Police Department led people to approach, they saw a chaotic scene.

He asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Fayue Dema took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down: "I saw this scammer and couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately, I was stopped before I could do it."

The implication is that he did not commit a crime.

The police should let him go and then...

His heavy eyes fell on Motegi Takashi.

Motegi Takashi looked scared and shrank behind Jiang Xia, as if this just detective could give him a sense of security.

Fayue Dema's eyes were blocked by Jiang Xia, and he frowned and looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia met his gaze and hesitated: "You are the murderer of the case under the bridge, right?"

"The murderer?" Fayue Dema laughed twice and refused to admit it. "You remember it wrong. I was a witness - at such a young age, my memory is not as good as that of an old man like me, hahaha."

Hattori Heiji looked at his phone. He had the information sent by the young police officer earlier. He sighed:

"Today at 11:35 noon, you got on the bus from Ukimachi Station. You acted bravely near Shiromachi Station. You subdued the gangster and handed him over to the police. Then you immediately returned to the car without delaying the journey. And that car The time to arrive at Camellia Station should be 12 o'clock.

"But according to the IC card records and station monitoring, you left the station at 12:16, which is 16 minutes later than the arrival time of the vehicle. It only takes one minute to leave the station. The remaining 15 Minutes are enough to get off at Jiaodao Station on the way, return to the station after killing someone, and take the next bus to the station."

The young police officer listened for a while and couldn't help but speak for this kind old man: "But the IC card record shows that he did not get off the bus on the way."

Fayue Dema nodded: "Yes. I'm ashamed to say that I'm just old. I couldn't help but want to go to the toilet when I left the station, so I stayed at the station for a while."

The detective shook his head and was not distracted by his rhythm: "The surveillance camera at Jiaodao Station happened to be under maintenance and could not take pictures of people passing by. This is also the reason why you deliberately chose that area as the murder scene - even if Jiaodao Station is close The police station must also be there, because currently of all sites, only its surveillance is under maintenance.

"As for the record on the IC card... I remember that the police found the station where you got on the bus and the surveillance at Camellia Station when you got off."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the Otaki Police Department.

The Otaki Police Department was startled, and turned its head to look at the young police officer next to it.

"..." The little police officer was also stunned. After a moment, he turned his head, looked at his bag, reached out, rummaged through it, and silently took out a laptop.

Expand the screen. Above are several intercepted snippets of surveillance.

Fayue Dema looked at herself on the video, and her expression gradually changed.

The detective's voice continued: "Not only can you use IC cards to ride on the bus, you can also use tickets bought from the automatic ticket vending machines. In the surveillance, when you swiped the card, you seemed to think you didn't swipe it properly, so you logged out and re-entered again. . This is actually using the action of swiping the card as a cover to put the tickets purchased in advance, and then using the action of holding the ticket inspection machine to take out the tickets spit out from the exit - in this way, when arriving at the scheduled murder scene, , no need to swipe the card, just use the ticket to get on and off the bus.

"After the murder, you pretended to be an acquaintance of the deceased, and invited the yellow-haired scapegoat near the scene, and set the time so that he would be arrested by the police as the murderer as soon as he arrived. You also 'zealously' returned and appeared as a witness .”

"..."

The actions of the old man in the video. At first glance, there's nothing wrong with it.

But after being pointed out, and then zooming in to take a closer look, Otaki Police Department's expression changed slightly: "There is really a ticket under the card... Go to Subojima Station to get today's ticket back, filter by time and station, and extract the relevant tickets. Fingerprints on it!”

The two police officers nodded and left.

Fayue Dema saw this scene and finally realized that he couldn't hide it.

He slammed the crutches to the ground and said coldly: "After Mitsuko died, I read her diary and found out that she was deceived by these bastards! - I was not the only one who killed that bastard under the bridge, but It’s a just punishment from heaven!”

"Diary?" Otaki Police Department vaguely remembered this case.

Fraud was not their responsibility. It was just before Mitsuko Shibata suddenly committed suicide that they conducted an investigation and ruled out homicide, which led to their encounter with these fraudsters.

However, speaking of diaries…

Otaki Police Department sighed, trying to comfort the angry old man.

He flipped through the diaries brought by the high school students: "I remember her thoughts were written at the end of the diary - 'The Messenger of Justice gave me the broad mind to forgive others, so I am willing to forgive the person who deceived me. '

"'For me who died alone, Mr. Motegi was once a beam of light in my life. At least the person he was and the feelings he paid at that time were not fake. That money was regarded as the reward I paid him. .Hopefully one day, he can use that money to get on the right track.'

"'It's very sad to die holding a grudge against someone. I decided to let it go.'"

This was the last diary entry, and after writing it, Mitsuko Shibata committed suicide.

Fayue Dema burst into tears upon hearing this.

The Otaki Police Department couldn't help but shake its head.

At the same time, he thought of something and his eyes became a little complicated:

After discovering the diary, the police actually checked Motegi, but failed to find out the problem - this man's account was very normal, with no large income or expenditure. Mitsuko Shibata’s large sum of money was actually paid to an anonymous overseas account.

It is precisely because of this that the police have been unable to arrest Takashi Motegi - they cannot conclude that Takashi Motegi was involved in the fraud just because of a diary and a neighbor's testimony that he "saw Takashi Motegi and Mitsuko Shibata appear at the same time."

Otaki Police Department: "..." Those in the Second Search Division said that either Shibata Mitsuko was deceived by others using the name "Motegi", or there was a force behind Motegi that could help him settle this.

If it's the latter, this may be an organized crime. They seem to have contacted the fourth search section and plan to take action together. However, there is a serious lack of evidence and clues, and the progress of the search has almost stalled. Plus, there are other things to be busy with. , so it has been fruitless.
