Chapter 306 Why did the victim go to extra trouble?
Surviving this year in the world of Conan is victory Chapter 306: Why did the victim need to do something unnecessary?
21:09.
A faint sound of sobbing could be heard in the living room of Room 1003 of the high-rise apartment.
Miyano Akemi, who was sitting on the sofa, reached out and gently rubbed her temples. After being awakened from her sleep nearly half an hour ago, she had been feeling uncomfortable and her head was still a little groggy, as if she had just had a bad cold.
A feeling of fatigue that only comes after recovery.
She turned her head and looked at the mobile search team who were inspecting the discovery scene on the balcony, and couldn't help but wonder why she was inexplicably involved in the falling incident when she just accompanied her best friend to the party.
"Yami, are you not feeling well? Do you want to go back first?" Sayuri Kakizaki, her best friend, asked with concern. She did not expect that attending a party held by her high school classmates would turn out like this.
Miyano Akemi smiled and shook her head, and said comfortingly:
"I'm fine. Besides, I don't know what the nature of the incident is yet. If it's homicide, I'm also a suspect. Leaving without permission will cause trouble to the police investigation. I'll go to the kitchen and get a glass of water. Do you want it?"
"
"That's right. I won't drink anymore. Now there's still alcohol in my stomach and I'm so full!"
"Hey, I just told you to drink less. Now you know you feel uncomfortable, right? I'll make you a cup of honey water. You'll feel better after drinking it."
After saying that, Miyano Akemi got up and walked directly to the kitchen. While making honey water, she took out her mobile phone to send an email. She would definitely come into contact with the police later, so it was better to say hello first to avoid disturbing the organization like last time.
After soaking the honey in water, she received an email from the supervisor of the organization responsible for recording her daily schedule.
[Kusuda Rikudou: There is no need to report such boring and trivial matters. You don’t have the guts to tell the police about the organization, do you?]
Miyano Akemi didn't feel unhappy when she saw this sarcastic email. She stuffed her phone back into her pocket, took the honey water and was about to go out, when she happened to hear a knock on the door.
She walked to the door and opened it. The people who came here at this time should be the police.
After she opened the door and saw who was standing outside the door, she showed a surprised expression. It was obvious that she had doubts in her heart - didn't Fujiwara-kun work in Osaka? Why did he come here?
Tokyo is coming?
Standing outside the door, Fujiwara Yu never thought that after returning to Tokyo, the first case he took on would be to meet Miyano Akemi. And her appearance here doesn't mean that she is also one of the suspects.
Although he knew in his heart that the other party would not be the murderer, according to the procedures and the basic literacy of the police, he still had to treat Miyano Akemi as a suspect.
"Huh? Officer Takaji?" Sayuri Kakizaki, who was sitting on the sofa, caught a glimpse of the familiar purple color and immediately jumped up from the sofa. She had a good impression of this smart police officer, and of course she admired the strong.
Good impression.
Fujiwara Yu nodded politely to Kakizaki Sayuri. He lowered his eyes and looked at Miyano Akemi, who was wearing a haze blue turtleneck sweater. This sweater suited her very well and made her skin tone fairer.
"Officer Takaji, are you thirsty? This glass of water is for you." Miyano Akemi handed out the honey water in her hand with a slight embarrassment. She never expected that the reunion would be at the scene of the eucalyptus, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Something good.
Kakizaki Sayuri, who was very sensible and didn't come close to her, couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She couldn't help but whisper in her heart: Masami really forgets his friends when he sees sex. He was obviously making honey water for me. How could he change hands and become a stinker?
A man now.
Fujiwara Yu, who didn't know that he was called a "stinky man", didn't deliberately pretend not to know him to avoid suspicion. He took a sip of the honey water and noticed that there was honey in it and couldn't help but express concern:
"Have you been drinking? If you feel uncomfortable, you should sit down and rest."
"I didn't drink. The smell of alcohol on my body belongs to Sayuri. You can go get it done and I'll make another drink for her."
After Fujiwara Yu drank the honey water, he put the cup aside and walked towards the living room. He noticed the slumped-looking man with glasses sitting on the sofa. He was crying so sadly. He must be the victim's husband Kitagawa Takahiro.
Already.
He was not in a hurry to go to the crime scene to investigate. There were people from the mobile search team there, and they could provide him with a lot of information. It would be better to meet these suspects for a while.
"Excuse me, I am Detective Takaji Sosuke from the Metropolitan Police Department. Can I ask you a few questions now?"
Kitagawa Takayu, whose eyelids were a little swollen, nodded and responded with a thick nasal voice:
"Okay, Mr. Police Officer, if you have any questions, we will cooperate with you."
"First of all, please introduce yourselves, and explain the relationship between yourself and the victim, as well as your respective alibi at the time of the incident."
The first person to speak out was naturally Kitagawa Takahiro. He said that his wife Kitagawa Hiromi planned this class reunion a week ago. Except for Masami Saito who accompanied her best friend, everyone present was a classmate of Shinagawa High School.
At this time, because my wife wanted to eat some food and drinks, she went to the convenience store alone to buy some food. When she was chatting with the administrator on the way back, she heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. After going upstairs to confirm, she found out that the person who fell was indeed his wife Hiromi Kitagawa.
Kitagawa Takahiro's description was not much different from what the apartment manager Harada Kazuhisa said. He did have a perfect alibi, but it was a bit strange that he happened to witness the incident when he fell.
And what made Fujiwara Yu most suspicious was - if the victim Hiromi Kitagawa planned to commit suicide, then why did she ask her husband to go to a convenience store to buy food and drinks? Why did she go to the convenience store when she knew she couldn't eat it?
If you follow this line of reasoning, you will have two answers: First, the victim planned to commit suicide and blamed someone in the house, and specifically asked her husband to leave to ensure that he would not be regarded as a suspect by the police.
Second, Kitagawa Takayu knew that Kitagawa Hiromi would die, so he lied that his wife wanted to eat and drink, creating the most perfect alibi for himself during the time of the fall.
According to the existing clues, Fujiwara Yu is still leaning towards the second type, but he has not yet surveyed the eucalyptus discovery site and has not listened to other people's descriptions, so he still cannot easily draw a conclusion.
"I'm Chie Inoue, I'm Hiromi's best friend. During my hair time, I was playing games with Sayuri in the living room." Chie Inoue pointed to the carpet-type controller aside and continued: "We danced in the living room until
Chongyu ran upstairs in a panic and asked us where Hongmei was, so we knocked on the bedroom door, only to find that the door to the balcony was open and there was no one in the bedroom."
If they were playing games, they wouldn't be able to hear even if there was any movement from the balcony.
But now this case of Fujiwara Yu has been treated as a homicide, so even if everyone present has an alibi, there is no way to avoid suspicion... Because it is not difficult to make a delay device on the balcony, as long as everyone does not
Go to the bedroom and no one will notice anything is wrong.
Therefore, the suspicion of Chie Inoue cannot be ruled out.
Fujiwara Yu looked at the next suspect, Sayuri Kakizaki, who raised his finger in a cutesy manner and asked:
