Chapter 242

"Mr. Okita, please don't get excited. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go." Aoki Song said.

Then he looked at the forensic officer aside and asked, "How was the examination of the deceased's body? Are there any other findings?"

The criminal from the forensics department quickly replied: "Yes, look at the police department, there are traces of being rubbed by the rope under the armpits of the body, and there are them on both sides, and the marks are still very new, they should have been rubbed not long ago.

.”

After hearing this, Aoki Song walked over, knelt down and took a look, and found that there were indeed such marks on both sides of the body's armpits.

"In addition, there are very obvious scratches on the body." The criminal from the forensics department added, pointing to the location of the scratches.

Aoki Song looked at the finger and raised his eyebrows. The location of the scratch was a bit subtle!

Why do you say that?

Because the bruises are all on the back, and the front and back, not the front or the side of the body.

Generally speaking, if you struggle or are knocked to the ground, the front will not be intact, there will be no scratches at all, but the back will be full of scratches.

After thinking for a while, Aoki Song looked at the forensics department criminal and asked: "If we just moved the body in this room, would there be such scratches?"

Upon hearing this, the criminal from the forensics department immediately replied: "This room is covered with floors, how could such scratches be left? Such scars were caused either by vigorous force or by dragging on a surface that is very rough. The wooden floor is not

There could be so much friction."

"I understand." Qing Mu Song responded.

Aoki Song doesn't have much clue about this case yet, but he only guesses that Hijikata Kozaburo is most likely the murderer, and Okitaichi is not.

But this is science, not evidence.

Therefore more evidence is needed.

And sometimes Ke Xue's law does not take effect. For example, Kogoro Mouri contributed a highlight in a certain theater version. He deduced the real murderer, but Conan did not.

Therefore, Ke Xue cannot be too superstitious.

Aoki Song looked at Okitaichi and asked: "Mr. Okita, I would like to ask, you said you were listening to music when the crime occurred. Where were you listening to music in the house?"

Okitaichi pointed to the round dining table next to the living room, "I sit here and listen to music."

"Did you really not notice any noise or anything strange at that time? After all, Mrs. Hijikata's body appeared on your balcony. This is an indisputable fact." Aoki Song asked.

Okitaichi's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I did not hear the knock on the door."

"You should be able to see the balcony when you are sitting here, but you didn't find the body on the balcony?" Aoki Song asked again.

Okitaichi still shook his head, "I'm used to listening to music with my eyes closed, and the windows were closed at the time, so I didn't pay attention to the balcony."

Hearing this, Aoki Song narrowed his eyes. Was this Okitaichi's murderer lying, or was Okitaichi's subconscious habits discovered, so he deliberately planned this frame-up plan.

No, there are too few clues at hand now, and it is impossible to make any further deductions.

After thinking for a while, Aoki Song looked at the three Mouri Kogoro and the others, "Uncle Mouri, you have seen the current situation. Although the body of Mrs. Hijikata was found in Mr. Okita's place, there are many contradictions, so I need to

You will tell me again in detail how you came here."

As soon as these words came out, Mouri Kogoro and three others became serious. They knew Aokimatsu's habits and had handled several cases with Aokimatsu. So when they heard this, they knew that Aokimatsu thought Okitaichi might not be the murderer.

Hijikata Kozaburo is even more suspicious.

At this moment, Hijikata Kozaburo was not stupid. Although he didn't know that Aokimatsu had already suspected him, he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Aokimatsu's words.

He wanted to say something to get the police to take Okitaichi away as the murderer, but he was afraid of being suspected by the police.

After all, the police officer had questioned his behavior before, and at this moment, Kozaburo Hijikata did not dare to speak anymore.

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri nodded and said: "Okay, after Mr. Hijikata and I met at the coffee shop, he led us here. We came in through the back door because he said he was worried about reporters seeing it.

Then Mr. Hijikata took us to the elevator, and when the elevator came down from upstairs, we opened the door and saw Mr. Okita, and the two of them talked about meeting today."

Hearing this, Aoki Song looked thoughtfully at the contents recorded in his notebook. This meeting was proposed by Kozaburo Hijikata.

"Then we entered the elevator, and Mr. Hijikata gave us his business card." As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro took out Hijikata Kozaburo's business card from his pocket, "This is it."

"You?" Aoki Song was keenly aware of the words used in Mouri Kogoro's words.

Mouri Kogoro nodded, "Mr. Hijikata also sent one to Xiaolan and Conan."

Another strange move.

Who would deliberately give their business card to a high school student or a child, unless... they want to have evil intentions against a certain high school student.

In Neon, because of the economic bubble, "godfathers" are also quite popular among certain groups of young women.

Especially... Mao Lilan was dressed so lightly today, wearing a halter top and low-waisted denim shorts.

However, Hijikata Kozaburo is a person in the entertainment industry. He should not suddenly "fall in love at first sight" with Mouri Ran and have such dirty thoughts. After all, Mouri Kogoro's reputation is so famous. The Mouri family has no worries about food and clothing, and Mouri Ran has no need to do it for money.

Recognize "godfather".

He took the business card handed over by Mouri Kogoro.

Aoki Song looked at it and asked thoughtfully: "Does the sixth floor of this apartment belong to Mr. Hijikata?"

"Yes, they are all mine." Hijikata Kozaburo responded.

"Is there anyone living here?" Qingmusong asked.

Hijikata Kozaburo suddenly felt nervous when he heard this, but he still said with the same expression on his face: "No, someone rented it before, but I haven't found a suitable person to rent it out yet."

Aoki Song nodded noncommittally, but he already had an idea in his mind.

In other words, in Ke Xue's world, if the body shows signs of being tampered with, there is a high probability that the real crime scene is not where the body was found.

The sixth floor belongs to Kozaburo Hijikata, so...

Haha, there is an old actor in the world of Ke Xue, who always appears when you may have forgotten it - fishing line/piano line.

Mouri Kogoro didn't know what Aoki Song was thinking, but continued: "Then we went to the room where Mr. Hijikata currently lives on the fifth floor. We opened the door and Mrs. Hijikata came to greet us. The two of them didn't seem to be divorced at all.

Then Mr. Hijikata invited us to sit down in the living room, and he went to the kitchen to make tea for us. However, because Mrs. Hijikata said she was going out, Mr. Hijikata only appeared in the living room half an hour later with the brewed tea.

Then the two of us talked about the reason why Mr. Hijikata invited me this time. He was going to take on a detective drama. There was a scene in the plot where he was shot on the river, just like the scenery outside, and then we went to the balcony.

Then I heard the phone ringing from the room opposite. I turned around and saw Mrs. Hijikata falling from the room. I don’t need to say what happened next.”

Hearing this, Aoki Song said: "Detective Maori, you explained the following things in detail, so there is no need to go into details. I have a question for you. Who suggested it when you went to the balcony?"

"It's Hijikata-san. Whether he mentioned the shooting scene on the river or going to the balcony, it was Hijikata-san who took the initiative to say it. It was also he who opened the window and walked out." Mouri Kogoro replied.

"What do you mean?" Hijikata Kozaburo felt something was wrong when he heard this, and quickly interrupted Mouri Kogoro.

Aoki Song looked at Hijikata Kozaburo and said: "Mr. Hijikata, I said that until evidence is found, you will also be the subject of suspicion."

"How could I kill Yumi?" Hijikata Kozaburo said excitedly.

Aoki Song was unmoved with a cold face, "We only focus on evidence when handling criminal cases, and I need to remind you that you are an excellent actor, so we will refer to this and will not judge you just because you cry harder."

I don't doubt you.

If there is any offense, please forgive me. If you feel that I can't understand it, you are welcome to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to complain to me, but please don't interrupt casually when I am handling the case. This will increase your suspicion and make you more suspicious.

We are even more suspicious of you."

As soon as these words came out, Hijikata Kozaburo had an angry expression on his face, but in the end he didn't say anything more and just sat down on the chair with an unhappy look on his face.

At this moment, the Okita family's landline phone rang.

"Officer, can I answer the phone?" Okitaichi asked.

Aoki Song heard this and said, "I'll pick him up."

As he said that, he picked up the phone.

"Hey, who is that?" Qing Mu Song asked.

"Police Department, this is Fukuyama." Criminal Fukuyama said: "I am here on the first floor."

Aoki Song frowned when he heard this: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy over there?"

"It's those news reporters." Criminal Fukuyama looked at the crowd of people gathered outside the glass door of the apartment, and said somewhat Alexander: "Those reporters all want to come to cover this case, and they are so noisy. Now

They have surrounded the entrance, but I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it."

Hearing this, Aoki Song said angrily: "Tell the management of the apartment building that no one is allowed in, and we cannot let these people disturb us in handling the case.

If that doesn't work, just say they are making trouble and arrest them all back to the Metropolitan Police Department for obstructing official duties. And you should immediately contact the Memu Police Department and ask him to find a way to drive away these reporters."

What is the boss used for?

Of course it is used to push it out and do difficult things.

"Yes." Fukuyama Criminal responded.

After hanging up the phone, Aokimatsu looked at Hijikata Kozaburo and said, "Mr. Hijikata, the entire sixth floor above belongs to you, right?"

Hijikata Kozaburo's heart sank when he heard this, but he still responded: "Yes."

"In order to clear your suspicion, we need to check the room on the sixth floor above this room. Please cooperate." Aoki Song said.

Hijikata Kozaburo suddenly panicked when he heard this, but he still suppressed his guilt and nervousness and asked: "Why?"

"Because the body has obviously been moved, this is most likely not the first murder scene. What Mr. Okita said may be false, or it may be true. Now we have to investigate this possibility.

This apartment has a total of six floors, and there are scratches on the back of the body. So assuming that Mr. Okita is telling the truth, there is another possibility that the body appeared on his balcony, that is, the murderer came from the balcony on the sixth floor, or from the balcony.

After killing the deceased on the rooftop, he threw his body to the fifth floor using a rope.

It just so happens that there are traces of rope scratches on both sides of the body's armpits, so this technique can be accomplished."

"It must be like this, it must be like this." After listening to Aokimatsu's words, Okitaichi became excited, pointed at Hijikata Kozaburo and said: "Officer, your reasoning is wrong, it must be like this, he must have killed Miss Yumi.

"

After hearing this, Aoki Song said without waiting for others to speak: "Mr. Okita, don't be too excited. There is still suspicion on you now. After all, my reasoning is based on the fact that you are not lying. If

Did you lie?"

"I really did not kill Miss Yongmei, he must have killed Miss Yongmei." Okita said to Aoki Song: "I have no reason to kill Miss Yongmei. On the contrary, Miss Yongmei wanted to divorce him, and he

A large amount of alimony will be paid.

And I heard that the investment in the new detective drama he was planning to shoot recently has not been fully funded. If there is no money injection, it is very likely that the TV series will not be launched. Actors like us have purchased large life insurance.

I'm just afraid of something unexpected happening while filming.

After he killed Miss Yongmei and put the blame on me, he could monopolize the huge insurance money and allow the smooth filming of the detective TV series. It must be like this, it must be like this!"

Okitaichi became more and more excited as he talked, while Kozaburo Hijikata's face grew darker and darker as he listened.

Because Aoki Song and Okitaichi were very close to each other about what he had in mind and how he committed the crime.

After listening to Okitaichi's words, Aoki Song turned to Saito Kazuma and said: "Go and check the insurance status of the deceased."

"Yes!" Saito Kazuma responded.

Then Aoki Song looked at Hijikata Kozaburo, "Mr. Hijikata, it seems that your suspicion is indeed quite high now. Will you cooperate with us now, or will you wait for me to apply for a search warrant?"

Although Hijikata Kozaburo is feeling heavy now, he has thought about this method of committing the crime for a long time and practiced it a lot. He is sure that even if Aoki Matsu is mistaken, there will be no evidence. The evidence has been destroyed by him.

So he replied: "I didn't kill Yongmei. You have to go to the sixth floor to search. Okay, whatever."

"Then I'll trouble you." Qing Mu Song said.

Then Hijikata Kozaburo led everyone to the sixth floor, and then opened the sixth floor room corresponding to Okitaichi's room. "This should be the room. Please come in and search as you like."
