Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 970 Never let go

There were several police cars parked outside the Italian restaurant, and two police officers were standing guard at the door. A blockade had already been encircled within the area, and the store was also busy at the moment. After the forensics team collected evidence, Mumu led the team to start the investigation. investigation.

The first people to be asked were Okino Yoko and Higo Takasuke, the first discoverers of the body.

"Do you know the victim?" Mu Mu asked in surprise.

"Asuka is the senior of our Konan High School football club," Bihu explained, "Miss Yoko and I came here today to make an appointment with him, and I want to ask him for something."

"That's it," Mu Mu frowned, "You said that Mr. Asuka sent an email to ask the waiter to take you to the warehouse, why didn't he contact you directly?"

"I don't know," Bihu sighed, "Maybe it's because I can't be contacted, I don't know where my phone is, and I brought it here."

Yoko Okino followed up and said, "I'm not very familiar with Asuka-senpai, and my phone just ran out of battery."

Mu Mu's eyebrows trembled.

One by one... What a coincidence.

It seems that there is nothing to ask...

After pondering for a moment, Mu Mu planned to ask those restaurant employees again.

Then it just happened to appear on the scene again...

Mugure looked angrily at Kogoro Mori who was guarding Yoko Okino, and Gao Cheng who didn't know what he was looking for from just now.

"In short," Mu Mu turned to several employees and said, "Although brother Kido has already asked you, but just to be on the safe side, let's ask each other separately."

Gao Cheng just came out of the kitchen with his hands in his hands. During the police investigation, he had already solved the crime and found key evidence in the kitchen.

Now it seems that many cases in Conan are actually quite simple. The murderer is at the scene, which not only makes it easier to locate the suspect, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of solving the case.

The most important thing is that among these criminals, criminal geniuses are only a minority after all, and ordinary criminals are nothing more than ordinary people after all.

The reason why he was able to determine that the fat sommelier was the murderer after the initial questioning was mainly because the man asked the male waiter to go to the lounge with him to find someone, and let the female waiter go to the warehouse alone.

Compared with warehouses with many shelves and many dead corners,

There are actually two people in the lounge that is so clear at a glance... No, it's strange to arrange so many people to find the store manager Asuka.

The restaurant is not very big, and the stairs next to the lounge are the underground warehouse. If you are looking for someone, it is enough to go alone. At most, it is a matter of shouting a few times. It is better to make a phone call than to make such a fuss.

Things happen for a reason, which is why he doubts the sommelier.

The sommelier's arrangement is to let a few people confirm that the store manager is not in the restaurant first, and go to the lounge with the male waiter. In addition to asking the male waiter to confirm that there is no one in the lounge, it is also to manipulate the lounge.

When looking for someone for the second time, the wine taster went to the warehouse alone, the male waiter went to the toilet, and the waitress found the "store manager" sleeping on the sofa with a blanket in the lounge.

At first glance, it seems that there is no problem. It is difficult to find anything wrong in the game, but it is a big problem when compared in this way.

Combined with the last time, the wine taster spontaneously went to the lounge to wake up the "store manager". Just at this time, the male waiter received an email and took the two guards to the warehouse, and then found the body.

The most taboo thing for detectives is to be preconceived, otherwise it is easy to fall into the trap designed by the criminal.

For Gao Cheng, the key to solving a case is to grasp the criminal's psychology.

The trap set by the prisoner in this case was that the "store manager" had slept in the lounge. From the point of view of the sommelier, the only chance he could go to the warehouse to kill someone was the second time to find someone, so the waitress watched in the lounge. It is very important to go to the store manager to sleep.

It is also because this taste confused the time of the crime and established an alibi for the sommelier.

As long as the purpose of the prisoner is confirmed, even if it is not sure what method the prisoner used, it is still easy to see clearly from logic alone.

The wine taster arranged to find someone for the first time, entered the lounge with the male waiter, and did some kind of manipulation before leaving. When the second time was looking for someone, the waitress saw that the "store manager" was sleeping under a blanket, and he I went to the warehouse and killed the real store manager.

Finally, the third time, the wine taster went to the lounge to finish processing, and at the same time used the store manager's mobile phone to send an email to the male waiter, so that the body was found.

Of course, there are still some subtle doubts in the middle, but none of them affect the whole, and Gao Cheng has already deciphered the criminal method, and even found the key evidence proving that the sommelier is the murderer.

Just now, in the kitchen trash bin, he found the missing mobile phone of the victim Asuka store manager and a compression bag used to hold clothes, and there was a hole in the bag.

In the beginning, there was actually a compression bag under the sofa blanket, and the sommelier just punctured the compression bag to inflate it.

...

In the lounge, Mu Mu has already asked a lot of things through questioning. The male waiter is the female waiter's ex-boyfriend, and the female waiter is now dating the store manager Asuka.

In addition, the doors of the lounge and the warehouse require a key to open, and the key is hung on the wall at the entrance of the corridor, where all the staff can see it. It is said that it is because some employees have sneaked into the backyard to smoke before, and they have always hated smoking. The tasteful Asuka store manager changed the door with a lock.

"The police department," said Takagi Asamuki, "There are indeed several keys hanging in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the corridor. In addition to the lounge and warehouse, there are also keys for the back door. Only the store manager Asuka has spare keys."

"Well," Mu Mu glanced at Gao Cheng who followed in, and asked back, "Is the spare key on the victim?"

"It's in the pants pocket, but the mobile phone is gone. Now the forensic personnel are looking for it in the warehouse." Takagi said.

Gao Cheng stood quietly at the back, and didn't move his eyelids until Mumu asked the sommelier for questioning. The murderer was confirmed, and the evidence he had handed over to the forensic personnel to investigate the fingerprints. The next thing to do was to solve the subtle doubts .

He also wanted to know why the famous J-League football player, Takasuke Higo and Yoko Okino's seniors were murdered after retiring.

It may seem like a tragedy right now...

"Ah? When I went to the warehouse?" The fat sommelier sat across from Mumu and replied, "The store manager was indeed not there at that time. I stood at the door and yelled several times..."

Mu Mu crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "That means the store manager Asuka might have been killed in the warehouse at that time, right?"

"That's right," the sommelier asked suspiciously, "But isn't the store manager sleeping in the backyard? Hong Jiang and I have seen it too, and the companion didn't lie."

"The problem is that you don't see the face, or maybe there's something stuffed under the blanket."

Mu Mu also didn't fully believe the testimony of the waitress Reiko Banba, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"By the way, I heard that you had a fight with the store manager last night?" Mu Mu continued to ask.

"Recently, the store's business situation is not very good, and the store manager wants to change to cheaper wine," the sommelier did not deny, but explained, "But our goal is to be an authentic Italian restaurant, so I made an opinion and said that. wrong,

It's true that we had a fight, but this shop belongs to the owner, and I can only follow his wishes..."

The fat man was very calm, and he didn't see anything abnormal at all. Regarding the police finding cigarette butts in the toilet, he only mentioned the male waiter. He said that the male waiter often secretly went to the toilet to smoke after being scolded by the store manager for smoking in the lounge. .

"For the bathroom, it might be smoked by the customer who came to eat, so he can get away with it. By the way, he volunteered to go to the bathroom to find the store manager before, probably because he didn't want us to smell the smoke." The fat man recalled .

Listening to the sommelier's lies, Gao Cheng walked out of the lounge to meet Higo Takasuke and Okino Yoko who were waiting anxiously outside.

"Detective Kido," Okino Yoko asked quickly when he saw Gao Cheng come out, "What happened? Is there any result?"

Gao Cheng glanced over Okino Yoko, and looked at Higo Takasuke who looked at him with a serious expression: "According to the current investigation results, the police can only identify the criminals as Ms. Yoko and Mr. Higo. "

"Ah?!" Okino Yoko exclaimed in shock, "W-how could it be?"

"On the surface, it's true," Gao Cheng smiled slightly, "because at the time of the incident, only you two had entered that underground warehouse."

"It is true that the waiter opened the warehouse door for us, but..."

"I'm not done yet."

Gao Cheng called to stop the two anxious Bihu, and the calm expression on his face made people calm down unconsciously.

"Mr. Higo, can you tell me about Mr. Asuka in your impression? What kind of person is he?"

"Senior Asuka?" Bihu was stunned when he saw Gao Cheng's seriousness, and responded, "Senior Asuka is a man of integrity and seriousness. He has never received a red card in his sports career, and he is an upright player. people, and treat juniors well...these are well-known things.”

"I haven't paid much attention to football players."

Even though he has never met, Gao Cheng still has an image of Asuka Tiye in his mind.

Not getting a red card on the court is not something that ordinary people can do. He also felt it when he was investigating everywhere in the restaurant. The retired star is obviously a strict self-disciplined person, and he is also very serious about this Italian restaurant. , including a strict non-smoking policy.

Since the restaurant's turnover has dropped, Asuka Tiye has lived in the lounge. There are also changes of clothes and shoes in the lockers, but the lounge is very clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like someone is staying.

Such a store manager and a fat wine taster are completely two types of people.

If he is not mistaken, the cause of this case should be that Asuka Tiye, who lived in the restaurant, discovered the secret of the fat sommelier.

Pity.

Gao Cheng looked outside and came back as if he was a forensic officer with results.

All he can do is to dig out the truth, find out the real culprit, and never let the fat taster go.
