Chapter 935: An Event That Even God Can't Suppress
Conan thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out where the flaw was.
At that time, only Yuya and Miyano Shiho showed up on the train, and Miyano Shiho even changed into Kid's disguise halfway through the journey. Even he himself hid in the dark and did not show up.
So where exactly is the suspicion?
Could it be that besides Vermouth and Bourbon, there were members of other organizations hiding in the dark and observing on the train?
Just then, the voices of several passers-by talking reached their ears.
"Is he dead? Is this true?"
"Really, it's over there in the public toilets, and it's caused quite a commotion."
"Then let's go over and have a look."
No way, another case happened? Youye was stunned. No, why did he say again?
But since a case has happened, let’s go and take a look. Since we are here...
The shrine only had a public toilet, and when Yuya and his companions arrived, there were already a large number of onlookers gathered there.
"Make way, make way, I'm a detective! Everyone, make way!"
Even though a murder had clearly happened, these people were still in the mood to watch. It turned out that there was no shortage of people who liked to watch the fun no matter where you were. Yuya finally revealed his identity as a detective and the onlookers made way for him.
When he walked to the front, Youya saw the person who was killed at a glance. It turned out to be the fat lady who shouted that there was a pickpocket.
His head was covered in blood, probably because he was beaten to death with a blunt object.
Youye squatted down and checked the head of the deceased, and analyzed: "The wound is still fresh, it should be that he was killed just now."
Conan nodded, then pointed to the ground at the feet of the deceased and said, "Yuya, look here."
Yuya looked down and saw that they were three five-yuan coins that were painted black with a marker.
"This is, Kurobei?!" Youya said with some surprise.
Judy asked curiously, "What is Kurobei?"
Yuya explained, "It's another name for pickpockets. They would place three blackened five-yuan coins on the person being pickpocketed, which is why they got this title."
Judy was even more confused. If he wanted to steal something, why did he have to put the coin on the victim?
Although it is just a way of saying it, the five in the five-yuan coin, the black in black, and the three in three coins, combined into five black and three, means hard work. It is probably what the pickpocket wants to express that you work hard to earn money only for me to pickpocket you, you have worked so hard.
Judy was a little speechless. What was the meaning of this provocative thank you? Was it a pickpocket's fault?
At this time, some onlookers called the police who were patrolling nearby.
When the police came over, they saw Yuya and the other two gathered around the body, and immediately stepped forward and shouted, "What's wrong with you guys? Get away from the body!"
Yuya turned around, but before he could say anything, the policeman shouted in surprise: "You are Detective Kamiya?!"
Youye was stunned. Do you know me?
The policeman came forward excitedly, shook Yuya's hand and said, "I've heard of Detective Kamiya for a long time. I often hear about your achievements in solving cases from my colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department. I admire you so much!"
"Ah, thank you." Youye pulled his hand back awkwardly and said, "Please send someone to seal off the entrance and exit of the shrine immediately. The murderer may not have had time to leave here yet."
At this time, Miyano Shiho came over and said to Youya, "I have called Inspector Megure, and he will bring people here soon."
Yuya nodded and looked towards the patrolman.
The patrolman immediately saluted and ran to cordon off the scene.
Seeing the patrolman leave, Judy asked, "Could the murderer be the Kurobe you mentioned?"
"I don't think so," Conan denied. He opened the coin purse beside the deceased and revealed a bag of black five-yuan coins. "It's full of blackened five-yuan coins, so I think this lady is Kurobei."
"Huh?" Judy showed a surprised expression.
Conan wrapped his hands with a handkerchief and found a bulging wallet in the aunt's clothes, which contained a stack of banknotes tied with a rubber band.
Conan pinched the banknote and found that the hardness and thickness were inconsistent, as if there was something stuck inside.
When I opened it, I found it was a GPS signal device.
Miyano Shiho glanced at the signal device and said, "The positioning error of this signal device is within five meters, which is quite accurate."
Judy frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "This instrument is hidden in the banknotes, and these banknotes are on this Kurobei, could it be that..."
Yuya nodded, confirming her guess: "If my guess is correct, the owner of these banknotes is the murderer, and the other party is likely to deliberately let Kurobei steal the money, and then... kill people in revenge!"
Soon, the hardworking Inspector Megure arrived with his men.
As soon as he saw the three people present, he lowered his eyes. Brother Kamiya, the god of death, and Conan, the little god of death, it was no wonder that murders could happen in a place like a shrine.
Is it possible that even Camisama cannot suppress their event constitution?
Could it be that Judy was also infected by them?
What a sin.
Yuya looked at Inspector Megure suspiciously and asked tentatively: "Inspector Megure, why do I feel like you are thinking about something very rude?"
Inspector Megure pretended to cough and said casually, "It's nothing."
"So, any witnesses?"
Yuya nodded, "A tourist happened to pass by here, and I've already asked for the details of what happened."
"The tourist came out of the toilet and happened to see the murder scene, but because the light was blocked by the trees, he could not see the murderer's appearance clearly. He only saw that the man was wearing a hat and holding a thin wooden stick about 30 centimeters long in his hand.
Because I didn't see it clearly at first, I even thought the murderer was hitting something like a wooden stake.
In addition, when the murderer was leaving, the witness saw that his feet seemed to be dragging on the ground. The witness asked him if his feet were okay, but the murderer did not answer.
By the time the witnesses saw clearly that the person being beaten was dead, the murderer had already disappeared into the crowd.
"Is that so?" Inspector Megure pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Normally, the murderer would leave the scene immediately after committing the crime. It doesn't seem like this was deliberately staged to cover up the truth, but..."
He looked at the densely packed crowd around him and couldn't help but sigh. It was really difficult to find a suspicious person among so many people.
At this time, Yuya said: "I think the scope can be narrowed down appropriately. I found something strange in the deceased's wallet, a GPS transmitter wrapped in banknotes."
The transmitter has been handed over to the forensic officer for examination.
Inspector Megure asked in surprise: "Why is there such a thing?"
Yuya analyzed, "If this pickpocket has never been caught, then the murderer is very likely to have his wallet stolen on purpose, and then use the transmitter inside to wait for Kurobei to go to a place where no one is nearby, so that he can identify her and then kill her."
Takagi Shigeru immediately said, "So, the person who was stripped by Kurobei is the murderer?"
Inspector Megure expressed a different opinion: "But many pickpockets are multi-person crimes. Is it possible that they had an internal conflict?"
