Chapter 88 This chapter is watery, but I have to write it~
Inside the reception room.
Officer Megure walked up to the three people in front of the door and said: "Hello, you three, I am Megure Thirteen from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. As for the reason why our police officers showed up at Mr. Marudenjiro's house... it's
Because Mr. Maru Denjiro died, we received a call and came to investigate."
"Dou, is Mr. Denjiro dead?" The three of them were surprised, and then noticed the body on the ground.
"Now that the police are here, was Mr. Denjiro Maru killed?"
"We, the police, are still unable to confirm this." Although Officer Memu believed that this was a sudden death caused by overdose of drugs, he did not say so.
After finishing speaking, Officer Memu coughed twice: "But now, can I ask you about the identities of the three of them, and why they are here?"
"Of course. My name is Hatano Ikuya, and I am Mr. Denjiro Maru's attending physician. We have an agreement that I will come to visit you once a week. By the way, I left a voice message before coming here.
"Doctor Hatano Ikuya introduced himself.
"My name is Akutsu Makoto. I came here to discuss with Mr. Denjiro how to pay back the money later." Akutsu Makoto, a somewhat slovenly and decadent artist, said.
Officer Megure frowned: "Oh? So, are you the one who left a threatening message on the phone, saying that he would kill Mr. Maru Denjiro?"
"Ah?" Akutsu Cheng waved his hand quickly, "I, I'm just talking, how can you have the courage?"
"My name is Suwa Yuuji." Suwa Yuuji, who was wearing a suit, bowed slightly, "The reason why I'm here is because I made an appointment with Denjiro before. Well... I want to ask that guy, Mingming's appointment
Well, when the time comes to pay back the money, why would he sell the family heirloom sword I used as collateral!"
"Oh? Did he sell your family heirloom sword?"
Conan's eyes lit up and his attention was attracted.
If the family heirloom sword was important, it seems that Suwa Yuuji had a motive for the murder.
And that Akutsu Makoto, the message he left on the phone was enough to prove that he had enough motive to kill...
Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes and reached out to pat Conan on the head: "Okay, little Edogawa friend, if you are doubting the man named Suwa Yuuji, you are really doubting the wrong person.
There is no time to commit the crime."
"Oh? How do you know?" Conan turned his head strangely.
Shu Yunwen said: "The time of death of Maru Denjiro was at 3:20..."
Before Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Conan immediately interrupted: "No, the time is not as accurate as you said. Maru Denjiro's estimated time of death should be between 3 o'clock and 3:30, or the time
It is also possible to push it back a little further, to around 3:45. If you want to prove Suwa Yuuji’s innocence, he must have an alibi from after 3 o’clock to before 3:45.”
Shu Yunwen glared at Conan, then rolled his eyes: "...Okay, I'll do as you say. However, even so, Suwa Yuuji also has a complete alibi. I, Sumi, and Mr. Takeda were there at three o'clock
At that time, I went to visit Suwa Yuuji at his kendo gym, and then left from the kendo gym around 3:20. Suwa Yuuji’s kendo gym seems a bit far away from here, and it would take half an hour to drive there—"
"——By the way, after we left the kendo hall, we immediately rushed to Marudenjiro's house. We also encountered a traffic jam on the way, so it took more than an hour to get there. In other words, Suwa Yuuji had no time to commit the crime.
Yes. Are you right?"
"In that case, that's right." Conan nodded.
Over there, Suwa Yuji also spotted Shu Yunwen, walked over and saluted respectfully: "Hello Shu Sang, I didn't expect to see you here again. Thank you very much for your gift at noon today."
Shu Yunwen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, you also gave me something I wanted."
Next to Shu Yunwen, Conan asked at every opportunity: "Mr. Suwa, where were you between three and four o'clock this afternoon?"
"Between three o'clock... and four o'clock?" Suwa Yuuji was stunned for a moment, but still answered, "Between three o'clock and four o'clock, I was always in the kendo gym. At around three o'clock, Shu Sang came to the kendo gym.
, I entertained him for a while; after Shu Sang left, I practiced swordplay in the kendo hall. All the students in the kendo hall knew about this. Then at 4:30, I came by car to visit Mr. Marudenjiro
.”
"Is that so?" Conan nodded.
Well, in this way, Suwa Yuji has a very clear alibi between three and four o'clock, which can eliminate suspicion.
Officer Megure also paid attention to the situation on Shu Yunwen's side. He checked with a police officer behind him, and then looked at Akutsu Makoto and Hatano Ikuya: "What about you two? You two go from three to four o'clock.
In between, where are they?"
Akutsu said sincerely: "Me? I was in my studio the whole time. Hello? Are you, the police, suspicious of me? I didn't kill anyone!"
When Akutsu spoke, he protected his hands, as if he was afraid of being taken away in handcuffs.
Officer Megure quickly reassured: "Mr. Akutsu, we are just making a routine inquiry. Just an inquiry."
Hatano Kikuya said: "Um...I was seeing a patient of mine at the time. However, for the sake of keeping the patient's confidentiality, I will not tell who it was."
"Is that so..." Officer Megure nodded, and did not continue to ask, but instead asked, "By the way, since you are Mr. Marudenjiro's attending physician, you must know a lot about his condition, right?
Can you tell us more about it?”
In Officer Megure's mind, this was not a murder in the first place. In comparison, he wanted to confirm Maru Denjiro's situation immediately.
Hatano Kikuya nodded: "What's Mr. Marudenjiro's condition? Well...Mr. Denjiro, he has a serious heart disease; in addition, he also suffers from asthma. By the way, Mr. Marudenjiro's asthma allergens
It’s seafood, but he seems to like eating this kind of food very much, so it often triggers asthma, and then he uses asthma sprays and aminophylline and other drugs indiscriminately.”
"I have warned him that if he continues like this, his life may be in danger. However, Mr. Denjiro seems unwilling to listen to what I said..."
Not long after, the policeman who inquired whether Mr. Marudenjiro had had his blood drawn came back and reported in Officer Megure’s ear. Officer Megure nodded: “So, Mr. Marudenjiro did have a blood draw.
Blood test? Well, it seems that this is indeed just a case of sudden drug death caused by overdose of drugs..."
Hatano Ichi also heard this and looked surprised: "What? Did Mr. Marudenjiro die of sudden death due to overdose of drugs? Hey... I already knew he would be like this."
Officer Memu waved his hand quickly: "I can't be sure now. However, based on the current situation, it should be so."
Shu Yunwen curled his lips——
By the way, this Dr. Hatano seems to have pretty good acting skills!
However, before you speak in such surprise, could you please throw away that sinister and ghostly thing on your body?
