"I am Sonoko Suzuki, a sophomore at Teidan High School."
When asked who it was, Sonoko put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "The fishing competition being held now is sponsored by my father, and I am the acting chairman!"
"Eh…"
After listening to Sonoko's words, Yokomori Shigego did not see the scene of being chased by her as she imagined. Instead, she showed a subtle expression and said: "You are the daughter of the organizer who likes to be noticed!"
These words made Conan and the others laugh out loud, while Sonoko on the side looked at Yokomori Shigego with a dark face and displeasure.
"Okay, stop making trouble Sonoko, business is important." Ayako smiled and looked at Henggou Shigego and said, "I'm sorry, my sister made you laugh."
"No..." Henggou Zhongwu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I am the one, my words are a bit rude..."
"Okay, let's get down to business." Tangze stopped the topic, looked at Yuanzi and the two of them and said, "Tell me again what happened when you met each other."
"We originally planned to come here to see how Conan and his friends were fishing."
Xiaolan said: "Who would have thought that as soon as we walked here, we saw a pair of human feet behind the stone. At first we thought someone was sleeping here, but when we walked in, we discovered that..."
"Then where were you at that time?" Henggou Shigego looked down at Conan and asked.
"We are a little further upstream." Conan pointed ahead: "About thirty meters ahead, Ayumi and I are fishing there."
"Then I wonder if you two heard Mr. Funaki's shouting nearby?" Yokomori Shigego asked.
"No..." Ayumi shook her head: "We didn't hear anything..."
"Are you sure it's not there?" Henggou Shigego looked at the two of them and said, "Please think about it carefully!"
"Really not." Conan shook his head: "We ran over after hearing the shouts of Sister Xiaolan and the others. This proves that we could hear the sounds here at a distance from us at that time.
If Mr. Funaki really shouted, the two of us would definitely be able to hear it."
"Is that so?" Henggou Shigego nodded when he heard this and had to accept Conan's words.
After a while, a criminal came over and reported the search results. As expected, the results were the same as Tangze's judgment. No stones with blood stains were found around them.
Apart from this, there are no other suspicious dropped items.
"How is it possible...that there isn't one?" Henggou Shigego looked surprised after hearing the report, "It's really suspicious..."
No unexpected evidence was found, but there were many doubts. Henggou Shigego had to suspect that this was a murder case.
So he found the staff at the Aogu Lake attraction and asked them to tell everyone to meet in front of the exit square, and then confirm one by one where everyone was between ten and ten thirty, and whether anyone could prove it.
Fortunately, these two days are fishing competitions, and everyone is basically fishing at a fixed location all the time, so even if they don’t know each other, they can still help each other prove it.
While Yokomori Juugo was checking the alibi, Karasawa, Ayako and the others were sitting at the table behind them, listening to the confessions, and analyzing various possibilities with the map of Lake Oko and the circumstances of the deceased.
"Mr. Funaki's body was not dead for more than thirty minutes, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk from the competition headquarters to the crime scene."
Karasawa slid down the point marked "Headquarters" in the upper right corner of the map to a bridge across the lake in the lower left corner: "If you don't take a boat, you have to take the dam bridge to reach the location of the deceased further downstream."
"If you want to walk across the Dam Bridge, it will take more than five minutes."
Conan, who was sitting nearby, pointed to the lower left corner of the map: "So, the people going to the right should not be suspected. They are too far away and there is no possibility of committing a crime."
"That's right, that's it." Tangze nodded and said, "It seems that the people who need to focus our attention later are the people near the dam."
He patiently listened to the transcripts of each tourist, and because many of them had someone to prove it, it was soon the turn of Karasawa's target.
"Are you Ms. Saori Ayukawa?" Yokomori Jugo looked at the list and confirmed.
"Yes, I am."
"Then I won't waste my time. Where were you between ten and ten-thirty?" Henggou Shigego asked.
"At that time, I was on my way to Kutanisuji, heading up the mountain fork on the road."
After listening to Ayukawa Saori's answer, Karasawa drew a line near the dam bridge and made a mark.
"Then can anyone prove it to you?" Henggou Shigego continued to ask.
"We can prove it." As soon as he finished speaking, Mitsuhiko said immediately.
Genta on the side couldn't wait to walk to the table and testified: "We happened to see Miss Saori walking in the direction of Kutanisuji on the boat."
"That's right, we were on the boat with Karasawa Criminal and we all saw it." Mitsuhiko said as if he was taking credit.
"Is that so? Karasawa Criminal." Henggou Jugo turned his head and glanced at Karasawa behind him and asked.
"Yes, that's right." Tang Ze nodded.
"If that's the case, then you can go back to the competition first." Hengmou Shigego nodded after hearing this.
"Then I'll excuse you now." Ayukawa Saori nodded, stood up and left.
When the two little ones returned to their seats, Ayumi on the side said sadly: "I didn't expect that the uncle who helped us take pictures before would pass away like this..."
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that..." Gentai and Mitsuhiko also sighed after hearing this.
"That place must be cursed!" Junichi Mizui, who was the organizer of the competition, had a gloomy face on the side: "Otherwise, it wouldn't be..."
"Mr. Shuijing, could it be possible that something happened there before?"
After hearing what the other party said, Tang Ze felt that it was probably related to the case, and maybe it was the motive for this murder case, so he quickly asked.
"To be honest, a person died there as early as half a year ago."
Mizui Junichi looked a little ugly, "But because there was no one nearby at that time, it was treated as an accident. But now, only half a year later, someone has died again..."
"Then Mr. Shuijing, do you know who the person who died at that time was?" Tang Ze asked.
"He is a fisherman named Kanie Kensuke. He has a good relationship with Mr. Utsubuchi and Miss Ayukawa, and his fishing skills are also very good. The three of them have some sympathy for each other." Junichi Mizui sighed when he said this.
I feel sorry for him that he passed away so early.
When they heard this name, Karasawa and Conan looked at each other, and they both thought of the huge gyotaku hanging on the wall in hotels.
What’s written above is Kensuke Kanie’s name!
"According to what Mr. Mizui said, the one named Kanie is also a strong contender for the championship?" Sonoko on the side was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, that's it." Jun Mizui nodded: "He is actually a student of Miss Ayukawa's father, just like Mr. Utsubuchi."
"Eh? Aren't the three of them brothers from the same discipline?" Xiaolan said in surprise.
"That's right. Although Miss Ayukawa's father has passed away, he was the one who promoted fishing in Neon."
Junichi Mizui said: "His father established a club that specializes in teaching people how to fish. Together with Miss Ayukawa, they are very famous in the fishing world."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's a choice between the two this time." Tang Ze thought to himself after hearing Junichi Mizui's words.
"Mr. Utsubuchi, where were you between ten and ten-thirty?"
At this time, Henggou Shigego asked about another suspect, and Tangze turned his attention to the two of them and listened carefully to each other's testimony.
"At that time, I would be fishing under the dam bridge." Utsubu Takuya thought for a while and said.
"Under the dam bridge?!" Henggou Shigego heard this and immediately asked: "Which side of the dam bridge were you fishing on?"
"The side near the national highway." Utsubu Takuya heard the words and answered honestly.
"What, near the national highway!?" Henggou Shigego confirmed again: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, that's right." Yububu Tuo also asked the other party this question. He felt a little inexplicably guilty, but he still nodded.
"The place where Mr. Funaki died was about a hundred meters upstream from you."
"That seems to be the case." Ububu Takuya said after hearing Shigego Yokomori's words: "I was shocked when I saw so many police cars approaching."
Yokomori Juugo stared at the calm-looking Utsubu Takuya and said: "Your location is the only way to get to Anfa, which means that if someone wants to go to Anfa, they must pass by behind you.
When Mr. Funaki passed behind you, didn't you pay any attention?"
"Sorry, I was concentrating on fishing at the time, so I didn't pay attention to who was passing behind me..." Urubu Takuya shook his head and said.
"Then I wonder if anyone can prove for you that you have been under the dam bridge and have not left?"
"nor..."
At this time, Utsubu Taku naturally knew that he was suspected by the police, and his expression was a little solemn, but Karasawa did not see any panic on the other person's face.
Although the suspect's acting skills were at the level of a Golden Man before the prisoner confessed, Tang Ze did not doubt the other party.
Because most of the targets who are initially suspected are innocent.
Of course, excluding "Ke Xue's Law", Karasawa actually had some other evidence that made him doubt Ayukawa Saori.
First of all, last night, when faced with Funaki's request, although Ayukawa Saori seemed very reluctant, she still did not reject the request.
In addition, the handkerchief on the wooden board they found before receiving the call also made Tangze very concerned.
If he remembered that Ayukawa Saori used the same technique when cleaning Ayumi's wounds.
And this is probably the most critical part of the opponent's conspiracy.
Tang Ze also had some clues as to how the other party committed the murder specifically from the oil stained on the deceased's chest.
It just needs to be investigated more specifically to get concrete evidence.
With the idea of confirming the reasoning, Tang Ze and Conan, who sneaked over by using urine escape, came to the crime scene again.
And according to Junichi Mizui, Kanie, who died half a year ago, was also found nearby.
After arriving here, Karasawa first looked at the bridge not far away, and then followed the route of the bridge's railway tracks to the circular railway track on the top of the mountain beside him and couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that the scene of the first crime is not here." After Tang Ze finished speaking, he ignored Conan and took the lead in walking towards the track.
Conan next to him was stunned for a moment when he heard Karasawa's words. Then he looked at the bridge next to him and immediately understood what was going on and followed him quickly.
Just then, there was a roar, and the old mine car crossed the bridge with black smoke, and then came to the mountains above Karaze and the others and drove upwards in circles.
"The criminal took advantage of inertia again..." Conan said with emotion as he climbed up with Tang Ze: "There are some familiar criminal methods..."
"Ah, that's right, I'm afraid the oil got into it at that time." Karasawa smiled and pulled Conan, who was having a hard time climbing, and led him to climb upwards.
"Then the scene of the crime is, as expected, up there." Conan glanced at the mine cart passing overhead with a depressed look on his face.
This time he lost twice again, and the difference was only a few seconds.
But that's not the point!
The point is that he actually lost twice in a row using similar tactics!!
Yes, they actually had a deja vu experience.
When they went camping together some time ago, Miss Tendo Qinghua, who used the RV to dump the body after killing someone, used the same method as the prisoner dumped the body this time!
It's just that one used the RV, and the other used the inertia of the train to throw the body when it turned.
What does this mean to Conan!
It's equivalent to a math problem that just changed the question and changed a few numbers, but the core can still be solved with the same formula, so he lost to Tangze again!!
This allowed his "Anti-Karasawa Noble Phantasm - Iron Ambition" to break through again after a long time!!
Fortunately, in the process of being stabbed by Karasawa countless times, Conan also awakened the "heart of recovery" and quietly licked the wounds silently.
The two of them walked up the railway track and finally found Funaki's camera near Lake Ogu.
Tangze put on white gloves and picked up the camera and said: "It seems that the real crime scene is here."
"Let's go up." Conan said: "There should be a police box at the entrance of the bridge. Go ask the criminals there who came here."
"Let's go."
Although it has been determined that Ayukawa Saori is the culprit, in fact, the evidence in reality still lacks this link, and there is no evidence pointing to Ayukawa Saori. On the contrary, Ububu Taku is currently the biggest suspect.
Therefore, if he could get some testimony from the other party, Tang Ze felt that it was still necessary to make a trip.
After all, evidence is the cornerstone to support reasoning, otherwise it would become baseless guessing.
