Hiromatsu was startled, approached Sakurada, pointed at himself and asked weakly, "Um...did I write something wrong?"
A car drove up behind a group of people and stopped.
Sakurada stopped talking and turned to look over.
Takagi Wataru opened the door and got out of the car, stepped forward and showed his ID to Sakurada, "I am Takagi from the General Administration."
"Brother Takagi?" Hiromatsu said in surprise.
"Brother Hiromatsu?" Takagi Wataru looked over in surprise, and was even more surprised when he saw Chi Feichi and Conan standing aside, "Chi, Mr. Chi? And Conan?!"
"I am Sakurada from Mihua East Department," Sakurada looked at the group of people with a serious face, "What? Do you all know each other?"
"Ah, Brother Hiromatsu and I met when I was on duty. He helped us arrest a thief," Takagi Wataru explained, looked at Chi Feichi and smiled dryly, "As for Mr. Chi and Conan, they are often
Involved in the incident, I didn't expect to see them here again..."
Conan laughed in his heart, he did not expect that Chi Feichi would come to harm their Mihua Town again.
"And Mr. Chi is the apprentice of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro," Takagi Wataru said with a smile, "He also helps our police a lot!"
"Oh? That famous detective?" Sakurada looked back at Chi Feichi, "But aren't you a consultant for an entertainment company?"
"Is there any conflict?" Chi Feichi asked calmly.
Sakurada: "..."
There's no conflict, it's just...a consultant for an entertainment company who wants to be a detective? I always find it a bit weird.
Takagi Wataru felt that if we talk about Chi Feichi's career again, Sakurada's thoughts will become more and more confusing. Chi Feichi almost spoiled them all by saying "I am a veterinarian", so he changed the subject. He had to change the subject, "Ahem
Hey, Brother Hiromatsu, why are you here?"
"I was the one who discovered the victim while jogging in the morning!" Hiromatsu said helplessly.
Sakurada approached Hiromatsu, looked closely and asked, "Is it really just a discovery?"
"What does this mean?" Takagi Wataru was confused.
"Because this police officer seems to suspect that Mr. Hiromatsu is the murderer." Conan said in a cute childish voice. "As for Brother Chi, it is because he met the victim last night and made an appointment with the victim to meet at four o'clock this afternoon to discuss work, so
This police officer just called him to come over."
Takagi Wataru nodded and asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Officer Sakurada, why do you suspect Hiromatsu?"
Sakurada faced Takagi Wataru who came from the General Administration with the same expression, "Be skeptical of the first discoverer. This is the basic principle of handling cases."
"I'm not a prisoner!" Guangsongguang said quickly.
Takagi Wataru looked at Hiromatsu and said, "I know Hiromatsu's character very well. He shouldn't be like that..."
"No, the reason I doubt him is..."
Sakurada interrupted Takagi Wataru and wanted to explain, but his words were interrupted by a car driving next to him.
A woman wearing business attire, glasses, and pretty features came forward with a man, bowed slightly, and introduced herself seriously, "I rushed over after receiving the call. Hello, I am Yukiko Yasunaga, the president of Ernst & Young.
.”
"I am Sakurada from Mihua East Department," Sakurada introduced himself again and looked up to see the man behind Yasunaga Yukiko, "May I ask who this is..."
"You are Mizuhara Ryoji, right?" Conan recognized the man, "You are in a TV series or something."
Mizuhara Ryoji nodded and looked at Sakurada, "I am Mizuhara."
Conan was startled when he heard Mizuhara Ryoji's voice, and subconsciously looked at Chi Feichi.
He hadn't noticed it before watching the TV series, but after getting to know Haga Kyosuke, and then listening to Mizuhara Ryoji's voice, he couldn't tell what it was like...
Obviously Yuga Kyosuke's voice is much gentler, but he just feels like it.
THK now accounts for half of the Japanese entertainment industry. As one of the founders, shareholders and consultants of THK, Chi Feichi is also the 'H' who is about to become a myth both inside and outside the company.
Maybe you can discuss cooperation with the manager of an artist who is not too popular in person, and leave these matters to the person in charge of the company.
Even if Chi Fei had nothing to do, Odagiri Toshi would probably want Chi Fei to write a song or something.
Just now, he guessed that Chi Fei was bored and wanted to experience other people's work, or that THK Company had an important project to cooperate with Suhara Ryoji, so he came to discuss it in person. But now it seems that Chi Fei's late arrival may be because of Mizuhara Ryoji.
His voice and feeling are similar to Kyosuke Haga's.
It seems that his friends are still very concerned about Mr. Haga's affairs. So, could the strange behavior of his friends not evacuating on the Aphrodite also be because of that incident...
Thinking of this, Conan's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he looked away before Chi Feichi looked at him.
"Mr. Okubo serves as an agent in my firm," Yasunaga Yukiko said, "The person in charge of taking care of it is Mizuhara."
"Mr. Okubo?" Takagi Wataru, who had just arrived not long ago, still didn't understand the situation.
"Iwao Okubo is the victim," Sakurada started to walk towards the body. "Can you please identify the deceased, please? Mr. Chi, please come with us."
Yasunaga Yukiko looked at Chi Feichi who was following him, and found that she had never seen him before, so she didn't ask any more questions, guessing whether he was a member of Okubo Iwao's family.
Conan decisively followed Chi Feichi and saw the body as he wished, but...
Okubo Iwao's body was lying on the ground, with a smile on his face, and his right hand stretched out to the side of his head making a 'V' gesture, which was very strange.
Takagi She even felt evil, "What, what is going on..."
Chi Feichi knelt down next to Sakurada and observed Okubo Iwao's body.
Smile, V sign...
Could this be...
Sakurada turned around and asked Chi Feichi, who was squatting next to him, "How are you doing?"
"Smiling is natural." Chi Feichi took out disposable gloves from his pocket and tore open the package.
Sakurada: "?"
What he asked was, ‘How was it? Is this the person I met last night?’, and he got this answer——
Wei, the smile is natural?
Also, why does the action of taking off the gloves look so skillful?
"It's natural?" Conan also squatted aside and looked closely at the corpse.
"When people are forced to smile, they will only make lip movements, pull up the corners of the mouth, and deliberately push the muscles of the lower half of the face to create a fake smile." Chi Feichi put on his gloves and reached out to lift them gently
Okubo Iwao makes the 'V' sign with his right hand, "Even if you squint your eyes deliberately, the outline of your eyes, mouth and facial muscles will have a strong sense of disharmony..."
Sakurada's eyelids jumped when he saw Chi Feichi touching the body.
"Feeling of incongruity?" Takagi Wataru bent down to observe the corpse, and then recalled the other smiling faces he had seen. Except for some smiles that were particularly far-fetched and ugly, there seemed to be no difference between the others.
"Officer Takagi, is it really okay to let others touch the body casually?" Sakurada suppressed the mood of being about to go berserk and reminded him loudly.
Takagi Wataru looked at Sakurada and smiled awkwardly, "This..."
How should I put it? This is not the first time that people like Chi Feichi and Conan have touched corpses at the scene, nor has it happened once, twice or three times...
"Cover the cloth to explain that the evidence collection and photography related to the body have been completed." Chi Feichi put down Okubo Iwao's right hand and looked at Sakurada, "I will also be careful not to destroy the information on the body or leave fingerprints.
Or leave other traces."
Sakurada looked into Chi Feichi's calm eyes and listened to Chi Feichi's calm narration, and couldn't help but nodded.
That's right. Their evidence collection has ended. They didn't even touch the body...
It doesn't matter if you bring a child so close to play with a corpse!
Conan stared at Okubo Iwao's smiling face, "Brother Chi, is Mr. Okubo really smiling?"
"Looking at the movement of Mr. Okubo's eye muscles, it's really funny." Chi Feichi looked down at his hands, made a 'V' gesture, and then relaxed a little bit, "The hand movements are also very natural. If it were after his death
, someone would put his hands like this, it would not be so natural."
"In other words, this is the death message left by Mr. Okubo himself, right?" Sakurada asked, looking at Hiromatsu with a serious look, "Then Mr. Hiromatsu's suspicion is very high!"
Hiromatsu smiled helplessly, "I told you, it's not me..."
"Hiromatsu?" Mizuhara Ryoji looked at Hiromatsu in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Sakurada stood up and looked at the two of them doubtfully, "Do you know each other?"
Hey, why do you feel like these people all know each other, but he doesn’t know anyone?
"We live next door to each other in the same apartment building," Mizuhara Ryoji explained.
In front of the corpse, Conan whispered to Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, it's strange, isn't it?"
Takagi Wataru followed the clues, "It's weird?"
"Yes, if a person is knocked down by a sudden attack, he will definitely panic, and if his head is broken, it will definitely hurt." Conan looked at Okubo's smile, "But I feel that Mr. Okubo doesn't hurt at all, just like Brother Chi said
Yes, he smiled very naturally and happily."
Takagi Wataru scratched his head in embarrassment, "Conan..."
They are studying corpses here and are laughing unnaturally and unhappy, which is very strange.
"There are no traces of pain," Chi Feichi confirmed and explained what Conan meant. "If he tried hard to leave a message to identify the murderer when he was about to die, then there should be pain and anger in the eye muscles on his face.
Or there were other traces of reluctance, but Mr. Okubo’s face didn’t have it at all. It was a smile from the bottom of his heart, or he was a masochist..."
"Either this is not a death message, but his last words for someone to read," Conan touched his chin and took the words thoughtfully, "It's like comforting and encouraging someone, 'It's okay, don't worry about me, you have to be happy.
,Go harder', so he can ignore the pain and have no resentment or fear..."
Takagi Wataru looked at the smile on the corpse's face again, and a string in his heart was touched, making him melancholy and heavy.
Chi Fei didn't say anything for a long time, mentally agreeing with Conan's speculation.
Strange traces of suspected death messages were found at the scene. The first step is to confirm whether the death message was left by the deceased himself or whether it was forged by the murderer to mislead others.
When he first saw the corpse, he deliberately looked at Okubo Iwao's smiling face and right hand, and instantly felt awkward.
Just like Conan said, the smiley face and 'V' were indeed put up by Okubo Iwao himself, but it was not a death message identifying the murderer, but a kindly last word to someone.
Then he remembered what Okubo Iwao said last night...
"Brother Chi, did you remember something?" Conan asked, staring at Chi Feichi.
When his little friend first saw the corpse, his face was more serious than before, and the expression just now appeared again.
Chi Feichi looked at Conan and did not hide any clues. "Mr. Okubo said last night that he wanted to help Suwon transform and let him try to play a gentle and smiling character. He also said that Suwon is very charming when he smiles."
