Chapter 634 Amuro Toru (5)
"what--!"
“Someone’s dead!!!”
A shrill scream echoed through the sky.
It wasn't long before sirens started blaring, bringing in not only police officers but detectives as well.
Because the body was found next door to Yun Ci, Yun Ci, as a neighbor, was also visited by the police for questioning.
When Yun Ci saw Conan Edogawa following Inspector Megure, she deliberately showed some surprise, as if she didn't understand why they would let such a young child follow them to the scene of a death.
"It's the older sister I met before!"
"Conan, do you know him?"
"He's Amuro-nii's friend!"
Officer Takagi's eyes showed understanding and his attitude became slightly better.
"excuse me--"
Officer Takagi held up his ID to identify himself and then began questioning.
Yun Ci lives alone, but she was doing trial dubbing with the dubbing artist from the same crew last night, and the process didn't end until after three in the morning.
The entire recording of the trial dubbing was preserved, and after questioning the dubbing artists, it was proved that Yun Ci did not have the time to commit the crime.
It was the first time for Yun Ci to encounter such a situation. After seeing Amuro Toru appear, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to his side, and gently grasped the corner of his clothes.
What a gesture of finding one's backbone.
"Don't be nervous. Just answer whatever the officer asks."
"I've finished asking questions."
A couple lives next door. The husband works outside to earn money, and the wife is a full-time housewife.
The two were well-known for their love in this street. People often saw the husband bringing flowers home, and people living on the other side of this house could occasionally hear the music of the two-person dance parties they had at home.
The neighbors also heard the couple barbecuing in the yard last night.
Unexpectedly, when the husband woke up, he saw his wife hanging in the garden, dead.
Mrs. Matsushita, the neighbor on the other side, came to Yunci and told her with great emotion about the scene she saw after she heard the noise and ran out.
"...Mr. Hase really loves his wife. He almost fainted from crying." Mrs. Matsushita sighed, "What a pity."
"I don't have much contact with Mrs. Hase. I heard that she doesn't go out often?"
"Oh, Mrs. Hase... She lives a very refined life. She has to go to classes every day. How can she have time to rest with us?" Mrs. Matsushita mentioned it with some displeasure. "That person probably looks down on us. We met her outside before and invited her to join us, but she just pretended not to hear anything and ignored us. She's so arrogant..."
Yun Ci's gaze fell on the man kneeling on the cherry tree with a dull expression.
"Miss Yun, you haven't seen Mr. Hase very often, have you? Every time Mr. Hase comes back from a business trip, he brings some local specialties and gives some to our neighbors. I've heard Mr. Hase say many times that every time I ring your doorbell, no one answers."
Mrs. Matsushita had only been Mrs. Matsushita for a few years. At that time, Yun Ci had to study and work to earn money, so she spent very little time at home, and the two of them were only acquaintances a few times.
"Is Mrs. Hase a very proud person?" Conan Edogawa ran over at some point and suddenly asked.
Mrs. Matsushita was frightened for a moment, then patted Edogawa Conan on the head and said, "Little boy, why are you asking so many questions? You can't always run around in this place at your age. You will have nightmares at night. Go back quickly."
Conan Edogawa was shaken by Mrs. Matsushita's strong hands, and deliberately put on an unhappy tone of a child and said: "I'm not a child anymore! I'm a detective!"
Yun Ci couldn't help but shiver at the sound of his voice.
This guy is really good at using his 'advantages'...
Mrs. Matsushita was amused and agreed like coaxing a child: "Yes, yes, so, Mr. Little Detective, are you going to accompany the police officer to solve the case?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll cooperate with you." Mrs. Matsushita thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know Mrs. Hase very well because I haven't had any contact with her, but every time I meet her, she always looks like she doesn't want to talk to anyone. She ignores me and doesn't respond when I greet her. Do you think this is considered arrogance?"
"It seems that she doesn't get along well with you guys." Maori Kogoro's voice followed, "Maybe you guys hold a grudge against Mrs. Hase because of this, so you killed her!"
Mrs. Matsushita's first reaction was: "What?! Mrs. Hase was murdered?!"
Then she hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me! I normally wouldn't even dare to kill a fish! How dare I kill someone!! Besides, I was with my husband the whole time yesterday, I didn't go to anyone else's house."
Officer Takagi, who was half a step late, smiled embarrassedly and said to Maori Kogoro in a low voice: "Neither of them has the time to commit the crime..."
The time of Mrs. Hase's death was determined to be between 1:1 and : in the morning by the preliminary forensic doctor. Although Yun Ci and Mrs. Matsushita had not yet gone to bed at that time, they were both accompanied by someone.
Kogoro Mouri listened carefully to Officer Takagi's story and his eyes fell on Yun Ci.
"This Miss Yun must have had time to commit the crime!"
She could have committed the crime while chatting with others on the microphone, and there was no one actually by her side to prove that she did nothing.
"For example, she turned off her microphone at the time and then went out to commit the crime. In the middle of the crime, she was even able to turn on the microphone again and talk back to them."
Yun Ci: “…”
Now that you put it that way, it seems to work.
"But," Yun Ci said calmly, "I don't know Mrs. Hase, and I have never met Mr. Hase. I have always lived here, but the Hase family moved here three years ago, and I was very busy at that time."
"Moreover, Mrs. Hase died between 1am and 1:am when we were doing a semi-formal recording session. I was the lead actress and had a lot of lines to say. There was no chance to turn off the microphone at that time."
Yun Ci took them directly to the dubbing room at home and asked them to listen to the recording of that time period. Yun Ci's lines were very dense, and if she turned off the microphone in the middle, people would definitely notice the problem.
"It doesn't look like what the teacher inferred." Amuro Toru said, "Then Xiaoci's suspicion is temporarily ruled out. It seems that I can continue to learn from the teacher on this case."
Maori Kogoro cleared his throat and said, "Officer Takagi, this evidence can clear Miss Yun of suspicion, right?"
Officer Gao Mu nodded repeatedly, although they did not list Yun Ci as a suspect...
"The suspect is between the Matsushita family and Mr. Hase."
Mrs. Matsushita was stunned.
How come she was listed as a suspect when she just came out to check the situation out of kindness? !
etc--
Mr. Hase?
"Mr. Officer, are you saying that it is possible that Mr. Hase killed Mrs. Hase? How is that possible!"
