“Hey, Sister Yuanzi, where did your ring come from?”
But at this moment, Conan suddenly stared at the ring on Suzuki Sonoko’s hand and asked, “This ring seems to be exactly the same as the rings worn by the three victims in the photo. “
“What?”
This discovery immediately attracted the attention of Officer Memu and others, who turned around to take a closer look.
This is really the case.
“Sonoko, where did your ring come from?”
“Hey…this is from the department store Xiaolan and I went to today. It was given as a gift for every purchase we made during an event.”
Suzuki Sonoko replied.
“So, is it possible that the real thing these three victims have in common is that they were all customers who made purchases at that department store and received gifts?”
Sano also took a look at the photo.
…Tsk, I was so attracted by the superficial “dark skin” feature that I didn’t even notice such a not too hidden detail.
Sano frowned, but soon relaxed again.
This is what Conan the Tool Man is all about.
Before several people could discuss this new discovery, Suzuki Sonoko received a call from Mao Lilan… The two best friends originally went shopping in a department store together.
Just because Mao Lilan had a stomachache and went to the toilet, Suzuki Sonoko came back first.
As a result, Mao Lilan actually got lost in the underground parking lot and couldn’t find the exit, so she called Suzuki Sonoko… despite the screams that soon came from the phone.
Sano Ming understood that the case had officially begun.
Soon, Sano followed the large army and arrived at the underground garage of the department store where Mao Lilan was located. Fortunately, it was not far away, and it could even be said to be quite close.
It not only saves Sano trouble, but also saves Mao Lilan a bit of face… Otherwise, Suzuki Sonoko, who had left her best friend behind just because she went to the toilet, and retreated first, might have felt embarrassed.
Back to the topic.
As expected, the fourth victim was also a hot girl.
It’s just different from before.
This time the victim was not just attacked, but killed.
The seriousness of the matter suddenly soared. Officer Memu and others also quickly launched an investigation, and Mao Lilan, who was the first discoverer of the body.
Naturally, it has become a top priority.
After some “insignificant” things, the situation gradually emerged in front of Sano.
The victim’s name is Ranze Tae, 20 years old. She happened to be a staff member of this department store a year ago, but was fired later and has not yet found a job.
Belongs to the homeless.
As for the suspects, there are four.
The first one is named Shirakawa Noriyuki, who is the boyfriend of the victim. It is said that the two had originally made an appointment to meet in a department store today. In addition, his other identity happens to be the son of the owner of the department store.
A second-generation rich man is not the kind to sit back and rest on his laurels.
Noriyuki Shirakawa worked as a chef in the restaurant of this guy’s department store, and it was precisely because of this that the deceased was introduced to work here a year ago.
The second one is Yuri Amanano, a waiter in the restaurant where Noriyuki Shirakawa works, and his classmate in college. The two are considered good friends.
…Well, a taste of love, hatred and hatred has come out.
The third one is called Deposit Fang Xiong, a guard in the parking lot. He was picked out from the crowd by the witness Mao Lilan. According to what he said, he happened to go to the toilet at that time, so he didn’t know. situation.
Then the fourth suspect, Noriyuki Shirakawa’s father, the boss of the department store, jumped out and said that the third suspect, Jin Fangxiong, was the murderer. The evidence was that the other party was in his family a year ago. A security guard from a rival company jumped here just to ruin his reputation or something.
Finally, there is another clue that may be useful.
Noriyuki Shirakawa’s father called the deceased “a woman with a bad record.”
After Maori Kogoro’s inquiry, Shirakawa Noriyuki gave the answer. It turned out that the deceased had caused a traffic accident in this parking lot a year ago.
Knocked a little boy to death.
It was precisely because of this incident that the deceased was fired.
“By the way, Mr. Shirakawa, may I ask how tall your father is?”
Mouri Kogoro asked again, and the answer he got was about one hundred and fifty centimeters.
In addition, Mouri Kogoro also asked about the heights of the other three people.
Noriyuki Shirakawa’s height is 1,73.
Akano Yuri’s height is 144.
The height of Fang Xiong, who paid the deposit, is 167.
…I never noticed before that these three people are not very tall, especially the woman in the middle.
Sano withdrew his gaze. Of course he did not discriminate against height, especially although his body was very tall, but he was only a little taller than Shirakawa Noriyuki in his previous life, and maybe he was hunched over when he was lazy.
He might even look shorter than the other person.
But the height of a little over 14 is really a bit outrageous.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, no one can blame it.
Well, turning our attention back to business, the reason why Mouri Kogoro is so focused on height is because in the testimonies provided by the three previous victims, it was mentioned that the suspect’s height is about the same as them, that is, about 1.5 meters.
Among the four people who are suspected here, if the woman is excluded, then the person with the greatest suspicion will naturally become the company boss.
Although in Sano’s view, this is a particularly obvious directional clue.
They are generally shit stirrers.
But sometimes you can follow the stick and find the person holding the stick.
Next, after Noriyuki Shirakawa learned about the clue about his height, he suddenly cursed Officer Megure with excitement and said something.
There are clues but no one can be caught. They were the ones who caused the death of the deceased. The police are just a bunch of losers.
This made Officer De Mu Mu look extremely ugly.
However, Sano originally thought that Officer Megure was in a bad mood because he was scolded, but in the end, the guy almost fell to the ground and covered his head in pain, making this case seem less ordinary again.
Is this post-traumatic stress?
Officer Megure has encountered such cases before and failed to solve them, or paid a huge and painful price. Is that why this happened?
Sano glanced thoughtfully, and Conan, who also looked thoughtfully at Officer Megure, thought of the case Mouri Kogoro mentioned earlier.
Well, it’s very possible.
Then, after Akano Yuri apologized for Shirakawa Noriyuki, he took the other party out of the scene, and Fang Xiong also returned to work. The case seemed to be about to come to a standstill, but at this moment Conan relied on the previous three Photos of the victim suggested a new clue – the car.
Because the second victim was wearing very thin clothes and ended up falling in a very cold toilet, Conan suspected that she had just left a warm place and would return soon, such as a car with air conditioning on. .
The first and third victims also just got out of the car before being attacked.
Is the key point about the car?
Sano quickly thought of the traffic accident involving the deceased and approached Officer Megure.
“Go and investigate those four suspects to see if they have any family members or friends or loved ones who died in traffic accidents.”
“Why?”
Officer Megure was stunned for a moment. Just when Sano thought he didn’t understand the reason, the other party actually asked another question: “Four suspects, which four are they? Where are the suspects? Are there any suspects? Why don’t I know?” ?”
Sano: “…”
He forgot that Officer Megure was not himself.
…The “suspect” Sano called was not actually a suspect, but he only added this character from his own perspective.
In the eyes of others, those people may also feel suspicious.
But he would never be called a suspect.
Otherwise, Officer Memu would not have let those people leave so easily.
After collecting his thoughts, Sano told Officer Megure in more detail.
