Mouri Kogoro used to be a policeman, but now he is a detective. No matter which identity he holds, he is still considered an expert in murder cases.
He knew as soon as he heard that the police were suspicious of Sayuri Shimamura - when encountering a murder case, it is indeed a more effective basic process to first check the acquaintances around the deceased.
"Don't worry! Miss Shimamura is innocent." Thinking of this, Mouri Kogoro patted his chest twice.
He glanced at Miwako Sato and then at Jiang Xia, who was listening in a low-key manner: "After I separated from Xiaolan and Jiang Xia, I drank with my friends for a while, and then took the train back. While waiting for the train, I looked at my watch, and it happened to be
It was 7:30 pm. The two stations were not far apart. I arrived at Mihua Station before 8 pm.
"Afterwards, on my way home, I was at the back entrance of Mihua Middle School - that's it." Kogoro Mouri walked to the balcony and pointed out, "I met Miss Shimamura. She said she knew someone who could see the Toto Beach Bridge.
It’s a great place, let’s go there for a ride together.”
“When we arrived at the place, it was around 8:30 pm, we had some drinks and chatted for an hour and a half.
"Then I set off home at around 10 o'clock and stopped by Miss Shimamura's company. By then, it was already 10:50 - which is the time we called the police."
Sayuri Shimamura also listened silently.
Hearing the last sentence, she carefully added: "I opened an import company in Chaoyang Town, and I just stopped by to pick up some information."
While she was talking, although she was looking at Miwako Sato, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia from the corner of her eye.
——Sayuri Shimamura didn’t expect that when she kidnapped a drunk Kogoro Mori as an alibi tool, she would also recruit Jiang Xia. If it was normal, she would be quite happy to see Jiang Xia, and maybe even
Go to celebrities and get autographs, but now...
Sayuri Shimamura bit her nails uneasily.
Although she felt that her plan was very thorough, and she had the amazing help of Mouri Kogoro.
But at this moment, a famous detective was standing next to her... She was always worried that if something went wrong, the next second Jiang Xia would suddenly show an "I understand" look, then look at her and come to her with pity.
One sentence: Miss Shimamura, surrender yourself...
Then all her painstaking planning would be over.
…
I was thinking, what are you afraid of?
After listening to the testimonies of the two key witnesses, Jiang Xia seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Sayuri Shimamura and Kogoro Mori, his eyes turning back and forth between the two, but he hesitated to speak.
Sayuri Shimamura's heart suddenly lifted, and her heart rate soared in an instant.
The next second, the high school student really spoke.
But it was not Jiang Xia who spoke.
——Mao Lilan has just recently discovered a little bit of the fun of being a detective, so just now when a few people were talking about the case, she also stood next to Jiang Xia and eavesdropped.
At this time, after hearing something that concerned her greatly, Mao Lilan couldn't help but look at Maori Kogoro, her eyes full of suspicion:
"An hour and a half? What did you talk about?"
——Although Mouri Kogoro and Fei Eri are currently separated, in Mouri Lan's heart, they are still husband and wife.
Under such circumstances, Mouri Kogoro actually went out to see the scenery and chatted with other women, and they chatted for so long...
Mouri Kogoro's expression froze slightly as she stared at him.
After a moment, he snorted: "Children should stay out of adults' matters!"
...Actually, he and Sayuri Shimamura didn't chat for that long.
Because Mouri Kogoro remembered that during the conversation, he felt so sleepy that he fell asleep.
During this time, he couldn't prove that Sayuri Shimamura was always beside him. However, considering the distance between the bridge and here, plus the time he fell asleep... Even if Sayuri Shimamura took advantage of him to sleep, she would be there between the two places.
He sprinted in a straight line, but he didn't have time to come back and kill his roommate.
Mouri Kogoro then felt that the problem was not big.
Moreover, it is really not good to talk about this kind of "falling asleep on a date" - it not only makes him seem to be old and lacks energy, but also makes Sayuri Shimamura unattractive... and both of these are obviously not true, so
Finally, he decided to keep silent.
However, thinking of this embarrassing incident, Mouri Kogoro sighed, but also had a slight doubt.
——I don’t know why, but he wasn’t sleepy at all when he started driving, but then he suddenly fell asleep. And he seemed to wake up very quickly today...
After thinking about it, Mouri Kogoro raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: Forget it, maybe it was because he and Miss Shimamura had another drink at that time, so he couldn't resist the sleepiness. Anyway, judging from the time, she didn't have time to kill.
Mouri Kogoro quickly put aside these "useless details" and stopped thinking about them.
He yawned sadly and continued to watch the police collect evidence.
…
at the same time.
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the scene of the crime and fell into deep thought.
The murderous aura in Belmod's body faded quickly.
Currently, the only thing that attracts Jiang Xia to stay here is the fresh shikigami currently touching Shimamura Sayuri's calf.
——If it were another case, Jiang Xia might try to poke the murderer a few times to see if he could squeeze out some fresh murderous energy and enjoy the process of growing food rations.
But Sayuri Shimamura was not bold enough - it was dark and windy before, and when she faced Kogoro Mouri who was knocked down by sleeping pills, she did show a lot of murderous intent.
However, now, surrounded by a group of police officers, Sayuri Shimamura's body suddenly became clean and looked even harder to extract than vodka.
…
Jiang Xia gradually lost interest in the process of solving the case and wanted to end it as soon as possible.
However, as an "unknowing bystander", if you want to solve the case yourself, you have to travel too far to the check-in point, which is very troublesome.
Not as good as...
Jiang Xia looked at Belmod next to him, and then at Mouri Kogoro himself, who had experienced everything. His eyes moved, and he suddenly had other thoughts.
——Although Belmod is very lazy when it comes to producing murderous aura, she has many rare skills and connections, so she will undoubtedly be an interesting ally.
Now, it's rare to go out with Belmode. Since she's here, I just want to show her something else.
Well, let’s add some more trouble to her by the way - I don’t want Belmode to be like Gin, who makes a killing sound when poked, but she should at least return to her daily level...
With this in mind, Jiang Xia took out her cell phone and typed a few words.
Then he yawned sleepily.
He rubbed his eyes and shook his head as if to force himself to wake up, but in the end he seemed unable to resist his sleepiness and walked towards the sofa in the corner of the living room.
…
Belmode was standing nearby, silently lowering his presence.
Suddenly seeing this scene, she was slightly startled - as an outlaw who had used many tricks, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Uzo.
I wanted to walk over and ask about the situation, but before I stepped forward, I had a second thought: That was Uzo...
Belmod stopped again suspiciously.
The next second, she realized that she had made the right decision.
——Uzo glanced at her and smiled at her from an angle that no one could see.
Almost at the same time, Belmod's phone buzzed and he received an email.
