Chapter 936 Three more suspects
Yuya shook his head, denying Inspector Megure's guess.
Because before that, they happened to encounter this auntie shouting that there was a pickpocket. This is a common tactic used by pickpockets, the thief crying "stop thief", which can make tourists subconsciously check if their wallets have been stolen.
Pickpockets use this to confirm where tourists put their wallets, so they can commit crimes with a purpose.
If there are multiple people committing the crime, you can let your accomplices shout like this while you hide in the dark and observe. This way you won't attract too much attention and will be able to commit the crime more easily.
At this point, Youya looked at Judy and said with a smile: "If I'm guessing correctly, Teacher Judy's wallet should be missing, right?"
Judy was stunned for a moment, then quickly checked her pockets, only to find three blackened five-dollar coins.
She held the three coins blankly, looking a little dazed: "Could it be that at that time, I helped her out of kindness..."
Yuya nodded. This was also a tactic that pickpockets would use, using other people's sympathy to get close to their target, and then stealing the other person's wallet.
Inspector Megure looked at Judy with regret and sighed - it was the existence of pickpockets like this that left a bad impression on foreign tourists.
"But now that the pickpocket is dead, how do we find the person who might have been the murderer and who she had pickpocketed?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I think there will be results soon."
As if in response to Yuya's words, Conan's detective badge suddenly rang.
Three little brats came to report that they found the discarded wallet in the trash can of the shrine.
Miyano Shiho also called Yuya and said that she also found a discarded wallet and it was almost taken away by the garbage collector. Fortunately, she arrived in time.
"Okay, I got it. Come back right away with your wallets. Remember not to get your fingerprints on them!"
Although having more fingerprints will not mislead the direction of the investigation, it will slow down the detection process and may also destroy the fingerprints that are already on the wallet.
"I see," Takagi Shigeru pounded his palm, "After stealing money, pickpockets will throw away the wallet. If we find the wallet, it might contain the identity information of the wallet owner, so we can identify the suspect."
Soon, Miyano Shiho and the three little brats came back with four wallets.
Judy pointed to one of the wallets and said, "That blue wallet is mine."
Inspector Megure said instinctively: "So you are also one of the suspects?"
Judy was stunned for a moment. This statement seemed to be correct. She subconsciously looked at Yuya. She was asked to go out by Yuya and Conan, and now she was regarded as a suspect. Shouldn't she help?
Youye smiled and said, "After Teacher Judy was bumped into by that aunt and her wallet was stolen, she has been with us the whole time. She didn't have time to commit the crime and has a perfect alibi, so she can be ruled out as a suspect."
"I see," Inspector Megure pretended to cough. His suspicion just now was just out of professional habit.
He turned his head and cast his gaze towards the remaining three wallets, analyzing: "In this case, the murderer is one of the owners of these three wallets?"
Yuya raised his eyebrows. Oh no, isn't this another classic three-choice segment? Based on experience, the murderer must be one of the three.
Inspector Megure squatted down, picked up the black wallet first, opened it and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I know the owner of this black wallet right away. There is a driver's license in it."
"Ah, I've seen this uncle!" Yuan Tai shouted.
"Really?" Inspector Megure looked over in surprise. Suddenly he got a clue?
Yuanta nodded vigorously: "Yes! This uncle just talked to Teacher Judy and Brother Yuya. He has been wearing a mask because he has a cold."
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also echoed.
Great, now we have a clue about our first suspect.
He put down the black wallet, picked up the second brown wallet, and immediately saw the photo sticker on the inside of the wallet.
"Ah, I've seen this auntie before!" Ayumi shouted, "Just now at the place where we were praying, she taught us how to ring the prayer bell!"
"Oh, I see." Inspector Megure nodded and picked up the last red wallet, which contained a fortune ticket for Koji.
He couldn't help but say, "There's only one ticket, so there's no way to identify the owner, right?"
But Mitsuhiko pinched his chin and analyzed: "This should be the old man's wallet, right?"
Ayumi nodded: "That should be it. The old man said that if you draw a good lot, you should take it back."
Yuan Tai also agreed: "Yes, that old man was in front of me at the time, and I saw him take out a red wallet and buy a ticket!"
Ayumi responded loudly: "Ayumi saw it too!"
Yuan Tai muttered, "A wallet with such bright colors doesn't look like something an old grandfather would use."
"Let's go get someone here right away!" Yuan Tai shouted and turned around and ran.
Mitsuhiko raised his finger and said to Inspector Megure seriously: "Please wait a moment!"
The three little brats ran away in a flash.
"Wait a minute, the person we are looking for may be the murderer!" Inspector Megure shouted, but the three little brats seemed not to hear him.
Inspector Megure had no choice but to order Takagi Shigeru to take people to protect the three children.
He couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and sigh. Although these three little brats have a strong sense of justice, they are too rash.
He couldn't help but glare at Yuya.
Yuya: Didn’t you send people to protect them?
After a while, the three suspects were brought back.
"Why do the police want to talk to us for no reason?" Benzaki Kirihei asked dissatisfiedly while coughing.
The other two were also visibly confused.
Yuya looked at Inspector Megure, who nodded and said, "Before we talk, please check your pockets or bags to see if there are any five-yuan coins that have been blackened with a marker."
"What it is?"
Although they were very puzzled, the three of them still checked as they were told and soon found three coins.
"What is this? Why do I have such a strange thing on my body?" The three people asked the same question.
Three people, all of them? Inspector Megure was a little confused and couldn't help but look at Yuya.
Yuya also frowned slightly.
Most people would not carry this special coin, so they would just use Kurobei to pick the coins and put them there. It was thought that this could be used to directly identify the murderer.
But now it seems that it will take a little more effort.
