Chapter 240
Following the address provided by Haibara Ai, Fujino went all the way downstairs to the crime scene where the system mission was released.
He parked the Ford Taurus.
Just as he opened the car door, he heard a strange voice behind him: "Fujino-kun, why are you here?"
Fujino turned his head, and saw Tsuru Takagi, who was wearing a small hat and sunglasses, walking towards him.
Behind him were a group of primary school students.
sneaky.
Like that human trafficker.
"Takagi, what have you been doing for so long?"
Miwako Sato dragged the fugitive out of the car, a little annoyed, and looked at Takagi with resentful eyes: "I'm already out of trouble, and you just arrived at the scene of the crime."
"These children and I just went to find out about the situation with the people Miss Cunxi knew before she was alive, so I just rushed here now."
Takagi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and explained.
Immediately, he asked with some confusion: "But then again, Officer Sato, aren't you trapped in..."
"It happened to be Fujino-kun who saved me."
Miwako Sato explained the whole story.
Turning her head, she looked at the crime scene upstairs again: "Compared to those, let's find out the real culprit of this case first."
…………
After communicating with the administrator, several people entered the apartment where the crime occurred.
This case happened in a room on the fifth floor of a middle-rise apartment building.
The surname of [Cunxi] is printed on the door plate at the door.
After several members of the Boys Detective Team entered the scene of the crime, they were overwhelmed when they came to the bedroom.
"Hey!"
Takagi Wataru was a little helpless, "You guys, please don't mess up the crime scene."
Yuan Tai: "It's okay! Look, we all wear gloves."
Mitsuhiko: "Officer Takagi, when you went to buy a hat just now, we bought it on the way."
Ayumi: "Conan asked us to do this!"
Several little ones raised their hands one after another and showed them to Takagi Shibuya and others.
"Takagi, obviously he acted with these children."
Sato Miwako followed Takagi and patted his shoulder, "Didn't you even notice this?"
"This is..."
Takagi Sheba blushed and said sarcastically: "Because I was so absorbed in picking out a hat just now... so..."
On the side, Fujino ignored the noise of several people.
He silently turned on his eagle vision and began to observe the scene of the murder.
The moment Eagle Vision is turned on, the whole world begins to become black and white.
The evidence in the room gradually began to appear in the form of highlights.
There were three types of footprints left on the floor at the crime scene.
One female, and two male.
Obviously, the murderer was someone else.
"Fujino, do you want gloves?"
At this time, Hui Yuanai, who had already put on her gloves, came slowly, and she took out a pair of slightly larger white gloves from her pocket, and handed them to Fujino: "When I bought gloves again, I also brought them to you. a pair."
"Well, thank you, Xiao Ai."
Fujino responded, took the glove and put it on, the size was just right.
Although there are gloves in his portable space, since Hui Yuan Ai has prepared them, he doesn't need to do anything extra.
"Officer Takagi, the furniture in the room hasn't been moved, has it?"
Wearing white gloves, Fujino looked around the room and asked Takagi beside him.
"No."
Takagi shook his head and responded: "When the police officers from the forensics department collected evidence, the positions of these furniture were not moved."
"That's strange. Since the furniture in this room has not been moved, why are there signs of movement..."
Fujino glanced at the shimmering furniture in the room.
Walking towards the bed in the bedroom, he stretched out his hand and lightly touched the rectangular white area on the wall, "This is not the only thing that is strange, logically speaking, there should have been posters or calendars hanging here... Judging from the traces, it should have been removed recently."
"The people in the forensics class have mentioned these doubts."
Takagi Wataru thought for a while, "Maybe the deceased wanted to change the layout of the room before he died?"
Conan on the side glanced at Fujino.
I secretly sighed in my heart that it is worthy of you in the future.
He also tortured Takagi's soul: "Ah! That's not the only thing that's strange. The overall layout of this room is white, but why are only the curtains and sheets gray?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Takagi smiled and continued to explain.
Fujino: "..."
Well, the Japanese police were helpless.
Fujino sighed leisurely, followed the guidance of Eagle Vision, came to the closet, opened the closet, inside were white curtains, sheets, and a wall calendar.
Conan kept staring at Fujino.
After Fujino opened the cabinet, he also discovered those things for the first time.
He stepped forward and said, "It's true! It's a white bed sheet, and there's a calendar from the Tokyo Soul team..."
As he said that, he wanted to snatch the calendar from Fujino's hand.
Conan tugged lightly.
Fujino refused.
Finally, Conan let go.
"Is there anything strange about that?"
Takagi came over and glanced at the white sheets and wall calendar: "Maybe she just wants to change her style."
"Will not."
Fujino opened the wall calendar, "The schedule for this month is full. Put it away, and put it in the closet. Don't you think it's a little unreasonable?"
"Yes."
Ayumi on the side said: "And the proprietress of the tavern said! Miss Muranishi's favorite color is white! Her favorite team is Tokyo Soul."
"Did the proprietress of the tavern say that?"
Gao Mushe was stunned, and quickly looked through the notes in the police handbook, "She didn't say anything about this when we were interrogating..."
"When being interrogated by the police, most people tend to focus on the key points because they are worried that they will be scolded for saying something irrelevant."
Conan explained: "I think the proprietress should be like this too. After all, the case happened only a few days ago, so she should be a little worried."
Ayumi nodded, "In addition to Miss Nishimura's preference for white, we also asked about other things..."
Yuan Tai took over the words: "For example, cactus is her favorite!"
Mitsuhiko echoed: "There is also Mr. Dongtian who was handcuffed over there. In fact, he is very skilled in the installation and operation of the video recorder, and he doesn't like taking a bath, etc."
Ayumi said again: "Also, every time he gets drunk, he can't get up the next morning, and he is often late."
While several members of the Young Detective Team were vying to be the first to show off, Fujino already knelt down and took out a matchbox from the side of the wardrobe.
Pulling out the matchbox, there are some matches and a stack of folded papers inside.
Fujino unfolded the paper.
It was a marriage application form, which had already been stamped and signed by the deceased Mami Muranishi.
Fujino stood up and showed it to everyone: the official seal has been knocked on it and the woman’s name has been signed. Only the man’s is missing. The marriage application will take effect...
"A marriage application form?"
Takagi stepped forward, looked at the application form in Fujino's hand, and frowned slightly: "But during the investigation just now, we didn't hear that she had a boyfriend?"
"The marriage application form was applied a few days ago, that is, recently. I think Miss Nishimura should have a boyfriend, and she wants to surprise him..."
Haiyuan said calmly: "Maybe it's an underground love affair?"
On the side, Miwako Sato raised her chin and looked serious thinking: "Indeed, there are also some couples who don't want others to know, deliberately concealing their relationship."
"Underground love... By the way, that's not the point, is it?"
Takagi couldn't help complaining, "When Ms. Nishimura's body was found, the suspect, Mr. Higashida, was lying on the bed at the scene of the crime as if he was in his own home. The door lock and chain were locked. , with his fingerprints on it, even the murder weapon used to strangle the dead: [the signal line of the video recorder] also has the same fingerprints..."
"Takagi, haven't you discovered the point of the matter?"
Miwako Sato cast her eyes on Takagi, frowned slightly, and looked serious: "The doubts just now are confirmed when the crime happened, and there was a third party at this scene other than Mr. Higashida."
Takagi was stunned: "A third party?!"
"The calendar is full of schedules, and the marriage applications that were scattered around the wardrobe before should not be things that Miss Nishimura would put away or accidentally lose."
Fujino said, "In other words, apart from Ms. Nishimura and Mr. Higashida, there must be a third person visiting this room and moving the furniture in this room."
"Besides, she likes cacti, she will not move this kind of plant that is afraid of the cold to the balcony in such a cold season."
Hui Yuan Ai walked to the balcony. She leaned silently by the balcony window and cast her eyes on a pot of cactus: "The thorns on the cactus were also broken a lot, and there were still some blood stains. It seems that the person who moved this cactus was in a hurry. , and accidentally pricked his hand."
As she spoke, she asked Fujino softly, "Am I right?"
"Well, that's right."
Fujino replied, but he was a little confused.
He remembered that today is July...
Cold?
It seems a little cold...
Fujino calmed down and took over Haihara Ai's words: "Next, just go to Mr. Higashida's room and take a look, and the truth should be revealed."
"The truth is now revealed?"
Takagi was a little confused.
…………
After that, several people came to Dongtian's room.
As soon as you enter the room, everything becomes clear.
Since his room was in the same apartment as the one in the West Village, the layout was the same.
Moreover, the placement of furniture in the two rooms is not much different, and the colors of the curtains and sheets are also gray.
Fujino turned to look at Higashida who was being tortured by Sato Miwako, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Higashida, do you still remember who sent you back to this room that day?"
"It's Beichuan!"
Dongtian thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's that guy from Beichuan. I went drinking with him that day, and he also sent me back."
Hearing this, Fujino turned to Takagi and asked: "Then who was the first witness who found Miss Muranishi dead in her room?"
"It's also Mr. Beichuan..."
Hearing this, Takagi suddenly understood: "In other words, the murderer is Mr. Kitagawa?"
But after a pause, he wondered again: "But why, there is only Mr. Dongtian's fingerprint on the signal line of the video recorder as the murder weapon..."
"Hey! The boss lady of the izakaya must have heard that Mr. Higashida is very skilled in video recorders, right?"
At this time, Conan, who had been blocked all the time, saw that the time was right and he could show off again, so he immediately answered: "I think maybe it was left when Mr. Dongtian helped Mr. Beichuan install the video recorder!"
Takagi asked Higashida: "Mr. Higashida, have you helped Mr. Kitagawa install the video recorder?"
"Video recorder?"
Dong Tian thought for a moment, then said, "I helped that guy pretend before."
"I see!"
Takagi suddenly realized, "In other words, the video recorder cable used by Kitagawa is the one Mr. Higashida installed for him?"
"Without further ado, let's hurry over to that guy's house in Beichuan!"
Miwako Sato said, "If you can catch that guy Beichuan tonight, Mr. Higashida should be able to catch tomorrow's plane."
…………
Nine thirty in the evening.
Fujino carried Sato Miwako and Higashida, as well as Haibara Ai.
Takagi took a taxi and took the rest of the Boys Detective Team with him.
Everyone rushed to the door of Beichuan's house.
Fujino stepped forward and knocked on the door of Beichuan's house.
"It's so late! What's the matter!"
The person who opened the door had a very unhappy tone. He had a watermelon head and two mustaches around his mouth.
A bit like Matt Day...
Oddly similar.
"Mr. Kitagawa, you must be the murderer of Miss Muranishi."
With the wooden knife on his back, Fujino stared straight at Beichuan, and said in a stern tone.
"What a joke."
Bei Chuan was stunned when he heard the words, and glanced at Miwako Sato behind Fujino, his eyes rested on Higashida, surprised for a moment, and then said angrily: "You brat, don't talk nonsense, be careful, I will sue you for defamation..."
"Then you'll have to go to jail and talk about it later, the real murderer who killed Miss Nishimura."
Fujino directly interrupted Kitagawa, started the detective time, and then reasoned: "You first changed the pillows and quilt covers to gray, and moved the furniture so that the drunk Mr. Higashida regarded Miss Muranishi's room as his own room.
As for the cactus and calendar at the crime scene, they were put away to prevent him from noticing anything unusual...
After doing this, you kill Miss Nishimura, then get Dongtian drunk, send her here, and order her to lock the door.
Dong Tian, who was in a drunk state, would naturally not notice the abnormality. The next day you went to find Ms. Muranishi's death. The murder weapon was the information line of your video recorder. Mr. Dong Tian installed it for you, and his fingerprints were naturally on it. If it is natural, Mr. Dongtian will become a 'murderer'. "
Without giving Kitagawa a chance to talk back, Fujino continued: "The truth is now clear. The signal line of the murder weapon usually has an appearance number. By comparing it, you can determine whether it is yours. The blood on the cactus should be able to do a DNA comparison. Yes, if you go to a nearby shopping mall to check the gray sheets at the crime scene, you should be able to check your purchase records..."
"What a joke!"
Bei Chuan was so beaten by Fujino's reasoning that he couldn't answer, and he closed the door of his house with a bang.
"Want to escape?"
Fujino frowned slightly when he saw this, stepped forward and kicked open the door with a "bang".
"what?"
Hearing the sound, Bei Chuan turned his head and saw Fujino rushing in, confused for a while.
Subconsciously, he picked up the golf club on the side.
"?"
Fujino was stunned when he saw this.
Speaking of which, why did that Conan guy just apologize and admit his mistake just because he was playing reasoning?
He will be beaten after reasoning...
But, since he already has an iron rod, he can do it too, right?
I got even more excited when I thought about it carefully.
Fujino took out a wooden knife from behind and smashed it towards his face.
"what!"
A violent beating with a wooden knife.
Every cut is just right, making the other party feel pain, but not passing out...
"You are the murderer, right?"
Fujino hit Beichuan on the head with a wooden knife, and silently turned on the intermittent recording function of the vision-enhancing glasses, the recording function.
"It was me... I killed Nishimura." - Recording.
Bei Chuan covered his head and curled up helplessly on the ground.
"boom!"
"Why did you kill her?"
"Because I don't want to marry her, but she keeps forcing me to marry her!" - Recording.
"boom!"
"Then why did you put the blame on Mr. Higashida?"
"He is my competitor at work, and he is usually the only one who would drink out of his mind, so I thought about blaming him..." - Recording.
Seeing this scene, Gao Mu panicked, and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Fujino-kun, don't get excited!"
"Don't worry, Takagi."
Miwako Sato, who was on the side, came over holding Higashida, with a reassuring look: "He won't get hurt."
"It won't hurt?"
Takagi turned his head to look at Fujino who was wielding the wooden knife vigorously, and swallowed.
Shouldn't he be beaten to death?
…………
Four to five minutes later, a large group of police rushed to the scene immediately after receiving an alarm from Miwako Sato using Fujino's mobile phone.
"It's really not hurt at all?"
Takagi looked at Beichuan's post-retirement appearance, boarded the police car surrounded by strong men, and was in disbelief for a while.
"I'll just say it."
Sato Miwako's handcuffs were also released. She walked over slowly and said to herself, "Fujino Kendo is superb. Even with so many knives, he didn't leave a single wound on that guy."
Takagi was speechless for a while.
Although I have heard of this before.
But see you today...
Still a little shocked.
"Takagi!"
At this time, a roar came from behind.
Gao Mushe looked back, and saw an angry burly colleague in various police uniforms approaching him: "Mumu police department... Everyone..."
On the side, Fujino glanced at Takagi Tsutomu who was being pressed down by a strong man.
Well, we are all colleagues after all.
It shouldn't be too harsh.
"what--"
At this time, there was a scream from outside the parking window.
Fujino silently closed the car window, started the accelerator, and left the scene with several children and two fake children.
Children should not watch this horrific scene.
Well, fake kids can’t watch either.
Hope people don't die.
…………
After sending several members of the Boy Detective Team to Dr. Ali's house, Fujino returned home with Hui Yuanai.
Midnight Fujino's bedroom.
Fujino took out a bottle of green tea from the refrigerator and took a sip as usual.
Then the system interface is opened.
As soon as the system interface was opened, a system light curtain appeared in front of the eyes:
[Detective career mission detected: (Real murderer? Grudge?) Completed]
[System mission reward: 50 yen, [-] detective reputation points have been distributed]
[Current balance: 1046 million yen]
[Current detective reputation: 860|1500]
"It's 1000 million yen..."
Fujino closed the system interface and lay down directly on the bed.
He does not intend to touch the 1000 million yen for the time being.
The current strength is enough for the time being, and there is no need to upgrade.
If you draw a lottery, it will be 890 million yen once.
The 1000 million yen will directly drop to less than 200 million yen at that time.
It is always right to save more money, so be prepared.
