Chapter 751 The Plan of Two Good Friends
The police currently have three suspects.
The first one was Hoshima Ro, who was resting in the living room with the deceased Furumura Norihiro at the time. He had the closest relationship with the deceased, and he was the only one present in the living room at the time of the incident, which made his suspicion suddenly increase.
The second person is Keihiko Negami, who has the key to the rental house. He has convenient access to the room.
The third one is Keizen Karata, who invited Yukiko to the preview and was also included in the suspect list because he had the key.
The person who is currently the most suspected is Hoshima Ro, because only Hoshima Ro's voice was recorded in the video recorder that fell to the ground by the deceased, and he was the only one at the scene from the time the crime occurred to the time Conan ran away.
However, based on Conan's many years of detective career, he believes that the person who was the most suspicious at the beginning is most likely not the real murderer.
Therefore, he now focused his main suspicion on Yoshihiko Negami.
This Keihiko Negami used to be his mother's developer and was also her fan. Today, he took them on a full-day tour of the phenomenon center with great enthusiasm.
"If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief..." Conan muttered in a low voice.
The great detective knew that he could no longer rely on his mother.
Although the person on the phone said he would come right away, he knew his mother well and didn't know when this "right away" would come.
And there is a high possibility that my mother drank again late at night.
Thinking of this, Conan sent a message to his good friend.
……
Half an hour later.
Hattori Heiji is indeed Conan's good friend.
After receiving the news, he immediately got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and drove his glowing green motorcycle over with sparks and lightning all the way without stopping the accelerator.
After the two met up, they immediately found a relatively quiet corner and discussed the details of the scene in detail.
In the end, everyone agreed that Yoshihiko Negami was the most suspicious.
However, what troubles them is that there is currently no substantial evidence that can directly prove that Yoshihiko Negami is the murderer, so they can only find a way to make the other party reveal his true colors.
Conan's current identity makes it inconvenient for him to show up, so Hattori Heiji volunteered to come on stage, and this is also the purpose of his coming here.
At this time, Inspector Megure was reasoning with the three suspects. He looked serious, his eyes scanning the three suspects, and said, "In short, what we know now is that around 11 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Furumura Tokuhiro, who was sleeping on the sofa, was stabbed to death in the dark by someone."
"If the murderer ran away after killing someone, in such a dark environment, he would definitely bump into something and make a noise." As he spoke, he gestured to the possible scenes that might have occurred at that time.
As he spoke, he gestured to illustrate the possible scenarios that might have occurred.
"But the three children sleeping next door didn't hear anything. In summary, the murderer was sleeping on the sofa next to the victim..."
At this point, Inspector Megure paused deliberately, his eyes became sharper, and then he looked at the three people fiercely and said decisively, "Mr. Hoshima, the only possible murderer is you."
"Hey!"
Hoshima was horrified and hurriedly explained: "Wait a minute..."
But before he could finish his words, Hattori Heiji, who had been waiting to appear on the side, jumped out and raised his hat in a cool manner: "The police officer is right, I also think that the murderer is only Mr. Hoshima."
"Hmm? Brother Heiji, why are you here?"
Inspector Megure was a little surprised to see the person coming.
He was very familiar with Hattori Heiji. After all, since Hattori Heiji transferred to Toudou to study, although it seemed that Mika's cases seemed to have become more and more, it was undeniable that the other party had also helped him solve various difficult cases.
He is considered as my second tool after my brother Kudo... oh no, my right-hand man.
"Conan called me to come here. He said that your police force has encountered a problem again and needs a great detective like me to step in." Hattori Heiji picked up his hat proudly. He came in a hurry and didn't notice that he was wearing a green hat. But it looked pretty good and had a different kind of handsomeness.
Officer Memu: "..."
Takagi Wataru: "..."
Police officers at the scene: “…”
Although you are telling the truth, but you are so straightforward, aren't you afraid of being beaten?
Conan hid in the corner, silently holding his forehead - Hattori was still as speechless as ever.
But now is not the time to complain, he quietly observed Negami Yoshihiko's reaction.
Sure enough, when Hattori Heiji pointed the finger at Hosima Ro, the corners of Negami Yoshihiko's mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly returned to a worried expression.
"There is one question I'm very curious about. Where is the third button on the deceased's clothes? If it didn't fall into the room during the argument, then it must be on the murderer. Officer Megure, please make sure to search it thoroughly when you take Hoshimarou back to the police station for interrogation..."
According to the plan that the two had discussed in advance, Hattori Heiji quietly released the bait, trying to lure the snake out of its hole.
Next, Inspector Megure followed the procedure and took all three suspects present back to the police station for interrogation. Considering that the children might know some relevant clues, they were also taken there.
As everyone left, the originally lively room suddenly darkened, leaving only silence and darkness.
……
It's quiet at night.
The lights in the police station were particularly dazzling in the darkness.
After a thorough investigation, the police found no substantial evidence. Except for the most suspected suspect, Hoshima Iro, the other two suspects, Negami Yoshihiko and Karata Keizen, were released from the police station one after another.
In the dark night, a figure appeared under the rented building.
Yoshihiko Negami stood in the shadows, looked up at the light that suddenly came on in the room above, and stroked the screen of his mobile phone with his fingertips.
[Mr. Murderer, it would be more natural to put the button in the gap between the sofas. From: A kind-hearted person]
He stared at the message, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
In fact, he still hasn't figured out how the young man had predicted all the police's actions before he took any action.
He felt as if he was in a huge chess game, and the young man was the chess player in control of the overall situation, and he was just a chess piece that was being manipulated at will.
Yoshihiko Negami knew who sent this strange message.
When Yukiko returned to the hotel that night, her son Hanyu Kusunoki, who had inherited the idol's appearance gene, came over to ask for his cell phone number. He patted his shoulder meaningfully and said:
"Mr. Negami, do your best. The imaging work after Mother's return will still require the help of you old friends."
