In any case, since the black organization cannot be caught at the moment, dealing with the suspected drug dealer Chizo Ogura is one of the most important things at the moment.
Hattori Heiji and Conan returned to the crowd and repeated their speculations about the identity of the "low-key guest" to the Otaki Police Department in a low voice.
"Fugitive?" Otaki Police Department's expression became complicated, "If I had known, I would have sent more people to search the mountain."
The shopkeeper's wife crowded around and eavesdropped. When she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm just telling you! That customer doesn't look like a good person. He must have beaten my husband to death!"
Jiang Xia came back to her senses and glanced at her: "I almost forgot that your matter has not been resolved yet - what evidence did you ask me just now?"
The shopkeeper's wife felt a thump in her heart and said bravely: "Yes, yes, why do you say that I killed someone?"
Jiang Xia pointed to her collar speechlessly: "Leave aside the fingerprints and clothes stained with gunpowder smoke, can you explain why there is human blood on your neck?"
"?!" The shopkeeper's wife instinctively covered the spot he pointed at. Her fingertips felt sticky and her expression changed.
——She felt something was wrong with her neck just now, but she thought it was because when she ran back in a hurry, her collar was soaked with sweat.
But now, judging from what this detective said, could it be...
"Boss lady, why is there blood on the inside of your collar?"
The old farmer and falconer took a closer look and was shocked - just now he also noticed that the color of the shopkeeper's wife's collar was a bit strange, but the blood was stuck to the inside of the collar, and he was too embarrassed to keep looking at that spot, so
I had to convince myself that it was something like coffee. But...
With everyone's eyes looking in confusion, Jiang Xia continued: "This area is the same as the blood-stained area on your husband's clothes - it should be when you put on his coat and pretended to be him, and came out to wave hello to us, you accidentally accidentally
Got it on yourself."
"..."
The Otaki Police Department was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that this prisoner had embarrassed Osaka. He cleared his throat, interrupted the embarrassing silence, and asked the shopkeeper's wife: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The shopkeeper's wife's face turned red, and her expression was so complicated that it looked like the palette had been knocked over on her face.
She was stiff for a long time, and finally said, "There's nothing to say. I killed him."
When the old farmer and falconer heard this neat answer, they couldn't believe it: "It's really you? Why did you kill him? Haven't you always had a good relationship?"
The shop owner's wife gritted her teeth and clenched her nails into her palms: "Because that bastard actually wants to sell this shop, but he still packs all the facilities and sells it at a low price!"
Two old employees who suddenly lost their jobs: "?!" Is there such a thing??
The store manager's wife said solemnly: "I came to see him a few days ago for something, and found that a rare customer came to the store. I was worried that it would disturb their business, so I didn't go over and waited in the corridor. But who knew that after a while,
The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong - it was actually a sales contract.
"I completely didn't understand why Hao Duan Duan wanted to sell the store suddenly. I ran downstairs to ask, and he told me that he wanted to sell the place and start over.
"This is a shop we built bit by bit after we resigned. All the wood carvings and small toys here were carved by me. Every day I think about how to run the cafe better... for so many years
How could I let go of my hard work so easily?
"I tried to argue with him, hoping that he would take back his decision, but he just yelled at me to shut up and thought I was annoying..."
The Otaki Police Department nodded thoughtfully while recording: "So you decided to kill him?"
"I didn't...at least not at that time." The shopkeeper's wife covered her face in pain:
"I heard the anxiety and irritability in his words, and when I thought about it carefully, I thought it was right - there were fewer and fewer guests coming here day by day, and the mountains were still too remote after all. Although I was very reluctant to leave, it might be okay to start over in a different place.
A wise choice.
"I put my mind together and told him I was going to order a few boxes to pack the wood carvings for easy moving.
"But he actually sneered and told me not to waste my efforts. He said that this store and I were both a burden to him—his so-called new life was actually throwing away me too!"
Speaking of this, her clear eyes gradually became bottomless, like a dark whirlpool:
"I really didn't expect that he was such a bastard. After breaking the illusion about him, and thinking back, I realized that he seemed to have looked down on me and this mountain village from the beginning. He just thought that we were easy to manipulate.
That’s why you keep acting with me under that mask.”
Hattori Heiji remembered the time when the dead shopkeeper took in Ogura Chizo, and he vaguely understood:
The shop owner probably resigned because he wanted to concentrate on his drug business.
Check out the correct version one by one!
A person and a few grown men nesting together in the deep mountains always look a little suspicious. But at this time, as long as you find a dull love-minded wife to accompany you, you can turn all those suspicious things into a leisurely life like "men farm and women weave"
Pastoral landscape.
The store manager's wife raised her head and looked at the cafe she was very familiar with: "Although I don't know why he would do such a thing, but in this case, I will let him taste the power of me and this small mountain village - popcorn.
The 'gunshot' of the plane, the swooping of the eagle, and my ability to make mechanisms, this can be regarded as revenge for the three of us poor people who were fooled by him."
The old farmer and falconer took a step back and looked at her with trembling eyes, as if someone had grabbed her hand and stabbed the deceased in horror.
…
In any case, the murder case has come to an end.
The Otaki Police Department was asking his subordinates to escort people into the police car. At this moment, his cell phone vibrated and someone called.
The subordinates said excitedly: "Police department, we have found the fugitive you just mentioned! - He should have been hiding in a cave before. He found us searching the mountain and realized that we could not hide, so he ran out. We
We are chasing him now, and we have someone drive the car, and we will catch him soon!"
"Not bad!" Otaki Police Department was surprised at first, and then cautiously warned, "The other party may have weapons on him, so be sure to pay attention to safety when chasing him."
Subordinate: "Yes!"
After making the call, the Otaki Police Department looked at a group of high school students in the room: "I'll go over and take a look. You guys stay here and don't run around."
The two clerks had just recovered from the shock of "The boss lady killed the boss!" and "Oops, I think I'm unemployed!" When they heard this, they were stunned again.
...The low-key customer in the store who had no desires or desires is actually a fugitive?!
