"Please tell me."
"Reger speculated that those people would definitely take further actions in this Clover Hill Villa.
But for some reason, it is impossible for me to pay attention to every move on this island at all times, so I need your help. "
"Mr. Shimizu, isn't this against the rules?" Yamatoda Mifuyu did not agree immediately, but asked tentatively.
After all, she was a woman praised by Regel. Yamatoda Mifuyu was very sensible in her actions. She knew very well that there were some things in the organization that she could not touch at will.
"Mrs. Sandong, you are a smart woman." Knowing her concerns, Qing Shuijing glanced at her and asked:
"If those people are really members of the organization, and if they really have further actions to take, where do you think they will start next?"
[Next? Could it be?! ]
After being reminded by Shizuka Shizuka, Yamatoda Mifuyu immediately reacted.
Many members of the white-collar organization were invited to this memorial meeting. If there really is any hostile force against the organization on this island, then these members of the organization are likely to be their next targets.
"I don't need you to do anything more, just use your identity reasonably and keep in touch with me during the process." Seeing that she understood, Qingshui Jing said again.
"I understand." Having understood what she meant, Yamatoda Sanfuyu didn't ask any more questions and decisively agreed to her request.
"Take care to protect yourself."
Taking in Yamatoda Mifuyu's reaction, Shizuka Shizuka took out a small palm-sized box from her pocket and handed it to her.
"Yes."
"Brother Qingshui!"
At this moment, not far in front of the two of them, at the gate of Beiye Building, several elementary school students spotted Qingshui Jing with their sharp eyes and ran towards him, waving their hands.
"Mr. Shimizu, I'll leave first." Knowing that those children were looking for Shimizu Shizuka, Yamatoda Mifuyu said.
"Ah."
Nodding slightly, Qing Shuijing walked towards the elementary school students and said with a smile: "So you came to Beiye. It was really hard for me to find you."
"Brother Qingshui! Who was that beautiful sister just now?"
"It's Mrs. Sandong, the president of Ed Company." The one who answered the elementary school students was Haibara Ai who was walking at the back.
The moment she saw Qing Shuijing, she felt a little relieved.
Finally, she met someone she could trust... Fortunately, when she was taking these children away from Beiye, she did not encounter those mysterious people in the stairwell again.
"She is so beautiful, Brother Shimizu, are you cheating on her?" Ayumi glanced at Owada Mitoyuki's back, then looked up at Shimizu Shizuka, her tone very innocent.
well?"
Even Qing Shuijing was caught off guard by her sudden train of thought.
"No, Brother Qingshui and she are just ordinary friends."
"That's what people who cheat on their husbands on TV say..." Ayumi looked at Shizuka Shizuka with some sadness, her eyes still innocent.
"That's right! We have to tell Sister Ayako about this!"
"Hmm...Okay, then let's go to the aquarium together and tell your sister Ayako."
With a slight smile, Shizuka Shizuka took one last look at Yamatoda Mifuyu who had already walked away, and walked towards the aquarium with the little ones.
Chapter 265 Suspects
"President Moriyama was murdered between 1:00 and 3:00 yesterday afternoon. Besides President Moriyama himself, the only people who had the key to the rock range were Deputy Director Harada Shotaro, Keeper Kuramoto Reika, and Technical Director Yaguchi Takashi."
Inside the rock field, detectives and police officers were standing together, looking for clues to solve the case.
"Among them, Harada Shotaro and Yaguchi Takashi were working at the Toba Building between 1:00 and 3:00 yesterday afternoon, and they have clear alibis.
The police have already confirmed this with their other colleagues, and the surveillance cameras inside the Touye Building have also proven this." Sato Miwako said, looking at the two men not far away.
Of the two men, the taller one with an injured right arm is naturally Harada Shotaro.
The short and fat man who uses a cane and looks more amiable is Takashi Yaguchi, the technical director of Clover Villa.
It is worth mentioning that Yaguchi Takashi’s right leg was injured in a car accident in his early years. Although he avoided amputation after surgery, he was left with lifelong disability and had to rely on crutches to walk normally.
His usual car is also specially customized and can be driven with just his hands.
This has been confirmed by the police as a fact.
"Come to think of it, aren't there any surveillance cameras installed in this aquarium?" Kogoro Mouri looked around curiously.
If there were a camera, we could just pull up the surveillance footage and look at it, and then we could find the murderer immediately, right?
"No, it is said that in order not to destroy the atmosphere inside the aquarium, so only cameras are installed at the gate." Sato Miwako replied.
"That's right, if there were cameras in the aquarium, the murderer would definitely not kill people in this place..." Kogoro Mouri raised his hand and touched his head, laughing.
"What about the breeder Kuramoto Reika? Does she have an alibi as well?" Hattori Heiji looked at a young woman sitting not far away and asked.
The woman was wearing a work uniform and had a ponytail. She had a cute, young face and was the aquarium's keeper, Reika Kuramoto.
"She didn't, but her situation was a little more special. Yesterday afternoon, between one and three o'clock, she and several other keepers were cleaning the tanks in the aquarium..."
As she spoke, Sato Miwako felt a little headache, because this was even more outrageous than her alibi.
There were several keepers present in the aquarium at the time, so unless these people were working together, it would be logically impossible for the murderer to kill Hiromichi Moriyama in the rock field and then dump the body into the tank while completely avoiding these keepers.
"What is the specific procedure for the breeder to clean the sink?" Conan suddenly asked.
"First, remove the fish from the tank, then drain the water, clean it, spray it with detergent, then spray it with a neutralizer to neutralize the detergent, and then put the water and fish back into the tank."
Takagi Shige flipped through the small notebook he had just used to record the suspect's words and said:
"Between 1pm and 3pm yesterday afternoon, the keepers were draining the water from the tanks and starting to clean them."
"How on earth did the murderer manage to kill President Moriyama without making any noise under such circumstances?"
"In addition, according to the surveillance camera at the aquarium's main entrance, President Moriyama did not enter or leave the aquarium between 1:00 and 3:00 yesterday afternoon, or even before that.
That is to say, during the time period when President Moriyama was supposedly killed, he was not actually at the aquarium. "
"What?" Conan was stunned when he heard that, and immediately lowered his head and frowned.
Could it be that the person was killed somewhere else and then the murderer moved the body to the aquarium and dumped it there?
No... this possibility is too small. Except for a few special scenes like the aquarium, most places in Clover Villa are equipped with cameras.
If the murderer transported Hiromichi Moriyama's body from other places, there would definitely be a lot of cameras along the way, which would easily allow the police to find clues.
Taking this into consideration, Conan still tends to believe that Hiromichi Moriyama was killed in the aquarium, but... what kind of means did the murderer use to hide the crime?
"Conan!"
Suddenly, the voices of several elementary school students brought Conan back to his senses.
He looked back and saw Shizuo Jing bringing the three little ones and Huihara Ai to the rock field.
"Why is everyone here? Did something happen?"
"Yes, the police are investigating the case now, children are not allowed to make trouble, okay?" Takagi Shigeru said with a smile, and took the initiative to walk forward to greet the three little ones, seemingly trying to stop them from getting close to the scene.
As for Shizuka Shizuka, after bringing these elementary school students here, she simply left them alone and walked towards the two Suzuki sisters sitting in the corner.
"How is the police investigation going?" Shizuo Shizuka asked, sitting next to Suzuki Ayako.
"There is no clue yet. All the suspects either have an alibi or are completely unlikely to have committed the crime. The police are still unsure whether President Moriyama was killed here..." Suzuki Ayako replied truthfully.
"It sounds very complicated." Qingshui Jing replied with a smile, her eyes flickering slightly.
She was hesitating. There was definitely something fishy about Hiromichi Moriyama's murder. It would not be bad for the organization if they could find out who had done it to him.
But she still couldn't decide whether she should intervene personally or just wait for the results of the investigation by the police and detectives...
If she chooses to help the police catch the murderer faster, can she disrupt the plans of the hostile people hiding behind the scenes and force them to reveal their true colors?
"By the way, have you investigated that warehouse?" At this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly pointed to the small warehouse in the corner opposite the rock field and asked.
The rock pool space on the second floor of the aquarium is not connected as a whole, but is divided into two large areas on the left and right.
The rock field on the right is connected to the room in the house, while on the rock field on the left there is a small warehouse two meters high and five meters wide welded with iron plates, which looks like it is used to store cleaning tools.
The closest distance between the rock fields on the left and right sides is 1.6 meters, and the keepers usually rely on pedals to travel back and forth.
"I've been in there before, but there was almost nothing inside. It looked like it had been abandoned." Takagi Shige replied immediately.
"Abandoned?"
Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji stepped forward, jumped over the gap between the rocks on both sides, and walked towards the small warehouse.
Chapter 266: Yuanzi's Highlight Moment
Just as Takagi Wataru said, this small warehouse at the rock field was indeed abandoned, and the several shelves inside were empty.
"It seems that there is really nothing here..." After looking up and down, Hattori Heiji said.
"Precisely because there's nothing here, it might be suitable for hiding corpses." Conan, who followed him behind, spoke up.
"Kudo? What do you think?" Because there were only two of them in the warehouse at that time, Hattori Heiji called his name directly.
"There are too few clues now, so we can't make a conclusion, but..." After hesitating for a moment, Conan continued, "I think that the clues we have at present may have been misled by the murderer..."
Based on his intuition as a detective, Conan vaguely sensed this, but the information they had collected so far was too little, so he was unable to determine exactly where they had been misled.
This is not metaphysics. Conan has always believed that the so-called "intuition" or "sixth sense" is essentially a suggestion from the subconscious mind to the person when the person has already noticed it but the person's thinking has not yet noticed it.
To put it simply, he must have overlooked some insignificant details.
Of course, neither of them was a man of two minds. After arriving at the warehouse, even though it was completely empty, they still carefully investigated the interior of the warehouse.
"Kudo, come and take a look." Hattori Heiji squatted in front of the faucet in the corner of the warehouse, his eyes somewhat solemn.
This faucet is very special. There are bloodstains under its cock. They are very subtle bloodstains. If Hattori Heiji had not bent down to take a look, they might not have been discovered.
Conan looked at the bloodstain and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stood up and ran to the shelf next to him, reaching out and wiping it hard.
【There is dust.】
Looking at the dust on his fingers, he quickly squatted down and rubbed them hard on the floor tiles of the warehouse.
However, this time, there was no dust on his hands.
