Hearing that the customers who had been here in the past five days were to be investigated, Kogoro retorted at this time. "It's possible that the criminal targeted the target outside the mall, right?"
"No, the victim this time fell here. At least the criminal must have come in today, and...if we can find the other four people nearby, it will be the same." Eminem emphasized.
It's just a pity that it's not easy to know who has been here five times. There are not so many surveillance cameras to find.
However, Yumi immediately sent people to investigate - at this time, the entrance to Daidoji Shopping Mall was also blocked, and all personnel had to register their contact information before leaving.
In fact, it is not very useful. After all, it has been two hours and the murderer has probably left!
Fortunately, there were not many people in the mall...
Conan got Eminem's prompt at this time, smiled slightly, and then immediately restrained, pretending to be cute and said: "Ah, hey... five times in a week? This prisoner... is just like going to work!"
As soon as these words came out, Kogoro immediately reacted: "That's right! Compared to the customers, the people who work in Daidaiji Shopping Mall are actually more suspicious!"
"If you think about it this way... all the previous victims should have been to the Iron Rhino Racing souvenir shop, and the employees there are the most suspicious, right?" Megure speculated at this time.
"There are also people who can see the surveillance. In fact, they can." Yumi added.
Nine times out of ten, the criminal noticed something in common between them in the shopping mall!
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside...
I saw a young man crying very sadly and making noise, but he was stopped by other Junsha.
After asking her subordinates, Yumi learned that the man was the victim's boyfriend "Ji Zhi". However, before Yumi could sympathize with him, a bald middle-aged man came over and gave him a harsh lesson...
It was learned from the words that this was Ji Zhi's father, who was originally opposed to Ji Zhi's relationship with the victim, and Junsha reminded Yumi in a low voice: "That 'father' is Chunyi, the general manager of this shopping mall.
"
They had just sealed off the mall and were counting the contact information of customers. Naturally, they had to contact the general manager...
…
"Dad! What are you talking about?"
"Hmph, it's fine if you die, I will arrange for you a girl with no bad record."
"You...you cold-blooded devil!"
Ji Zhi and Chunyi, father and son, had a quarrel.
Chunyi, who originally did not want his son Ji Zhi to associate with the victim, made sarcastic remarks at this time, which not only made Ji Zhi very angry, but... also aroused suspicion for him!
Yumi has asked people to investigate the office hours of this "general manager" in recent times.
If he meets the other four victims, he will be the biggest suspect.
"Yumi Police, we have found out all the surveillance related to the victim Miss Aizawa." At this time, Junsha came over to report.
"Well, then we... um?" Yumi found in confusion that Eminem went over at this time... to comfort the young man named Nozhi?
When had he been so "warm"?
Conan was also following him at this time, and seemed to be confirming something with the people around Ji Zhi.
Then Amu went to the monitoring room together with Junsha and others.
There is no blind spot surveillance in the shopping mall, only some important locations.
However, from this we can also piece together the general movements of the victim after arriving at the mall...
What troubled Yumi, Megure and others was that Aizawa did not appear at the place selling Iron Rhino Competition souvenirs - there were basically no people in this merchandise area, and there were even no products.
After all, too much time has passed. In a few days, it will probably be replaced as a souvenir from this year’s rookie competition.
It's just that in this way, the similarities discovered before will not apply to today's victims.
"Could it be a copycat? It's true that he was just attacked with stones, and it was actually disclosed in the newspaper..." Yumi said with a headache.
Kogoro was suddenly inspired and said: "If it is a copycat, it is most likely one of the father and son, right?"
Indeed, judging from the victim's actions, she was not here for shopping today, but had an appointment with Ji Zhi...
Ji Zhi has already explained this. Lan Ze came to the mall today to find him.
Because his father objected, Lan Ze took the safe passage that was usually unattended instead of the escalator in the mall. Unexpectedly...
Indeed, in terms of the possibility of committing crimes, if he is a "copycat", he must be aware of Aizawa's movements, and clearly has the intention to kill her. He is also aware of recent cases of women being attacked, so he uses This method is used to mislead the investigation.
"But Ji Zhi's statement that he hasn't seen the victim today should be true, at least he hasn't been with the victim..." Eminem interrupted again at this time.
Seeing Yumi and others looking over, Eminem explained: "I just got closer and smelled it, and he didn't have the... strong perfume smell on him that the deceased had."
At least this proves that it is impossible for the two of them to quarrel over something after meeting and order Jizhi to kill him.
But if it must be said, there is still the possibility that "Ji Zhi wanted to kill her from the beginning, directly fired rocks to kill her on the first floor, and then quickly covered up and left" - if he approached briefly, Eminem would also smell it. Nothing less.
"By the way, let's talk about it... This time the murderer didn't use the smelly mud rations, probably to avoid being contaminated by the smell. If you think about it further, it means... the murderer may not have left yet." Eminem suddenly realized. .
Conan glanced at him - as if to say: No way, no way? You just reacted? That's it?
"In this case, it is more likely that there are insiders in the mall!" Kogoro fully accepted the theory of insiders.
"Uncle, is this a duty schedule?" Conan looked at the schedule on the wall of the monitoring room and asked the staff who were working.
"That's right, and there have been no shifts this month." The staff member answered Conan with a smile.
Junsha has also investigated him personally - Yoshio, a security officer who took office a year ago, is also one of the people who is usually in the control room.
Conan stared at the class schedule. At first glance... there was no one, and the dates all overlapped five times!
"Um...if there's nothing else, can I excuse you for a moment? It's time to close the store..." Yoshio asked Junsa for instructions.
Although the Junshas will definitely not leave today, some power supplies in the mall should be turned off. This is also Yoshio's job...
"Okay, but I need to call the person at the armored rhinoceros souvenir counter..." Yumi was about to say something, but then Junsha came to report again.
I learned from the other four victims that three of them...even though they had been to Daodaoji Shopping Mall on the day they were attacked, the souvenirs from the Armored Rhino Racing Competition were not purchased on that day!
"Eh? So it seems like it has nothing to do with the armored rhinoceros souvenir counter? It's okay. You can go and do your work first, but don't leave the mall." Yumi changed her words.
Conan was stunned when he heard this - it has nothing to do with those badges? Then... can you follow the irrelevant clues and discover that the Daidoji Shopping Mall is indeed related to the case? Is it just a coincidence?
You know, it was because of these badges that they first discovered Daodaoji Shopping Mall!
At the same time, in the lounge, seeing that Xiaolan's mental state had recovered, Yuanzi looked at the time and saw that the mall was about to close, and quickly said: "Ah! Oops, I have to go to the armored rhinoceros rations quickly... I hope it's not there yet.
