Chapter 47 A faint smell of fish

Chapter 47 A faint smell of fish

The deceased's cell phone had been soaked in water and could not be turned on, but the ID in his wallet was still identifiable, so his identity was quickly confirmed and his mother was found.

As soon as the mother of the deceased arrived, she burst into tears: "My daughter, my daughter! What will I do if you die!" She cried so miserably that her whole body was shaking.

A female police officer kept comforting her.

Yuya couldn't help but look at Takagi Shigeru, as he was the one who brought the person here.

Takagi Wataru whispered in Yuya's ear: "The deceased was from a single-parent family and was raised by his mother alone."

Yuya nodded in understanding.

After a while, the deceased's mother finally stopped crying, probably because she was tired.

Youya waited for her to calm down, then stepped forward and asked, "Hello, Auntie. I know you are very sad, but the most important thing now is to find the murderer and bring him to justice. Only then can your daughter rest in peace."

The mother of the deceased choked up and said, "Officer, tell me whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything. I just beg you to find the murderer as soon as possible."

Youye nodded: "Does your daughter have any grudges with anyone? Or has she had a conflict with anyone recently?"

The mother of the deceased thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Yes, this morning when I went out, I heard her talking on the phone with someone in the room. They were arguing very fiercely and she was smashing and throwing things in the room. I said a few words to her, but she not only didn't listen, but also yelled at me. I was very angry, but I was in a hurry to go to work, so I ignored her. I didn't expect that...

As she spoke, she started crying again. You had no choice but to ask the female police officer to help comfort her.

Yuya touched his chin. There were no witnesses and no more clues at the scene. He looked at Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, I want to go to the deceased's home to take a look."

Inspector Megure nodded, called a police car, and took people to the deceased's home.

The deceased's home was an ordinary bungalow. It looked like the family was not well off and the house was a bit dilapidated.

Youya glanced at the deceased's mother who still had her charm, and thought of the deceased who must have been very beautiful when she was alive. A thought flashed through his mind.

He called Takagi Wataru and whispered a few words in his ear. Takagi Wataru nodded and left.

Inspector Megure asked in confusion: "Brother Kamiya, what did you ask Takagi to do?"

Youya said, "I have an idea I want to verify. Let him help me investigate it."

Inspector Megure wanted to ask more, but he saw Yuya walked straight past him and into the house. He could only sigh helplessly. These detectives all like to be riddlers!

"Officer, my daughter's room is that one." The deceased's mother wiped her tears and pointed to the innermost room.

Yuya walked over and saw a sign with the deceased's name hanging on the door.

Youya put on shoe covers and gloves, pushed the door open and walked in. As expected, he saw a mess inside. The chairs were overturned on the ground, the desk was in a mess, the sheets and quilts were all on the ground, and books and other things were thrown everywhere.

It seems that the phone call in the morning made the deceased very angry.

Youya walked to the desk and flipped through the books casually. He found a handwritten paper at the bottom of the book. The two big words "suicide note" caught his eye.

I picked up the suicide note and read it through. The content basically said that she found out that her boyfriend had cheated on her several times, and they had a big fight. The deceased felt disheartened and had no desire to live, so she planned to go to a nearby fish pond and commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Youye fell silent suddenly. The deceased was obviously strangled to death, so why was there a suicide note here?

And this suicide note is a bit strange, why is there no mention of this man's name in the whole letter? It's all replaced by him and that scumbag.

After tapping Conan's leg to make him behave himself as he kept reaching out to read the suicide note, Youya opened a few exercise books and compared them, and found that although the characters were a little ugly, the handwriting was exactly the same.

Something is wrong... Yuya's master-level reasoning ability allows him to intuitively feel that something is wrong, but now there are insufficient clues and he doesn't know what is wrong for the moment.

No matter how strong your reasoning ability is, you can only solve a case based on clues and evidence, not on your imagination.

"Auntie, do you know that your daughter has a boyfriend?" Youye turned and looked at the deceased's mother.

The mother of the deceased was a little confused and shook her head: "I don't know, I've never heard that she had a boyfriend."

Yuya thought about it and held the suicide note in front of the deceased's mother: "Take a look at this."

The mother of the deceased subconsciously tried to take it with her left hand, but Yuya lifted the suicide note and said, "Just look at it and don't touch it, so as to avoid fingerprints."

The deceased's mother nodded, wiped her hands on her pants awkwardly, and squinted her eyes to read the suicide note.

After a while, the mother of the deceased suddenly burst into tears, cursing: "It must be him, it must be this scumbag who killed my daughter! My daughter!!!"

The female police officer quickly tried to comfort him.

Youye frowned, handed the suicide note to a police officer next to him, told him to check for fingerprints, then turned around and continued searching the room, hoping to find some new clues.

Several exquisite ornaments were found in the drawer of the desk. They looked very expensive. Youya frowned slightly, thought for a moment and closed the drawer.

Yuya bent down to pick up the quilt on the ground, and suddenly a strange smell wafted into his nose.

Subconsciously picking up the quilt and sniffing it, Youye frowned. In addition to the fragrance of a girl, there seemed to be a faint smell of...fish?

Youya glanced at the bed, walked over and sniffed a few more times, and the smell became more obvious.

"Yuya..."

Yuya turned around and found Conan looking at him with an indescribable look.

Looking at the door again, everyone was looking at him strangely, especially Miyano Shiho, who looked as if they had just met him for the first day.

Youya coughed lightly. He was so excited about finding the clue that he forgot so many people were there. But he didn't want to explain. The innocent will be innocent.

And now he had an idea that needed to be verified urgently, so he looked at the deceased's mother again: "Auntie, does your daughter like fishing?"

The deceased's mother lowered her head, shook her head and said, "I never heard her say she liked fishing."

Don't like fishing? So this smell isn't fishy?

Yuya thought about it for a moment, looking over the girls present.

Shiho Miyano, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and the female police officer who comforted the deceased's mother.

After hesitating for a while, Youye still felt that this question needed to be verified. He gestured to the female police officer, and under the gaze of everyone, the two walked to a corner.

Yuya whispered something in her ear, and the female police officer's face turned red. She then looked at Yuya as if he were a pervert.

Yuya was a little embarrassed, but this question was really important, so he put his hands together and said sincerely: "Sorry, I know this question... but it's very important and may be related to the murderer, please!"

The female police officer glared at Yuya hatefully, but as a police officer she also knew that although Yuya's request was... perverted, it was indeed for the purpose of investigating the case.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the room with a red face under everyone's weird gazes. He smelled the quilt and bed, then shook his head at Youya: "It's not that smell."

Yuya nodded, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

What's that smell? Several innocent girls and boys stared with wide eyes. What are you talking about? Kamiya Yuya, what did you say to the female police officer? Why is her face so red? Sexual harassment of a police officer is a crime!

Only the adult police officers seemed to understand something and smiled secretly with their heads down.

Finally, it was Inspector Megure who stood up and said, "Uh-huh, what are you talking about, brother Kamiya?"

He didn't believe that Brother Kamiya would sexually harass the female police officer at this time. He must have found some key clues. However, for the sake of Brother Kamiya's reputation, he still had to stand up and help clarify it.

Yuya glanced at the drawer of the desk, then smiled and said, "Inspector, I think I know who the deceased's boyfriend is."

"Who?"

"The owner of the fish pond."
