Chapter 179 Investigation
When news is spread among people, there is a high chance that it will be changed so that even the person who originally spread it will not know what was said.
The same goes for police officers.
Police Officer A: "What? Miwako may have been subdued by the gangster?"
Traffic policeman B: "What? Miwako was subdued by the gangster?"
SWAT C: "What? Miwako was imprisoned by gangsters?"
One word spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. The more the news spreads, the more exaggerated it becomes.
Miwako's status in the Metropolitan Police Department is quite exaggerated.
After the police officers learned the news, their eyes lit up with fire, and some were so excited that they even wanted to tear the gangster into pieces.
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in the bustling streets, and the police officers merged into a stream of traffic, which made the ordinary people who were still shopping on the street at this point look a little confused.
A group of people investigated the crime scene. After a simple investigation, Takagi felt that nothing could be found in the investigation. There was not even a speck of dust on the floor.
Others noticed a lot. Conan shook his head and denied Takagi's statement that there was no significance in the investigation.
"There are four doubts in total. The colors of quilts, sheets, pillows and the curtains next to them. Since kitchen supplies, dinner plates and other interior supplies are all based on beige, why are only the sheets and curtains gray?"<
/p>
"This must be a coincidence, right?" Takagi didn't know what this meant.
Mitsuhiko refuted Takagi's words: "But, all the beige sheets and curtains have been put in the closet."
"Moreover, the proprietress of the izakaya also said that Miss Muranishi's favorite color is beige."
Genta, who was standing aside, also said: "Also, the landlady also said that Miss Muranishi likes the Soul Team very much."
"And there are cactus! And Mr. Higashida is very familiar with video equipment and hates bathing the most."
"It's hard for Mr. Higashida to wake up when he's drunk, so he's often late for work."
Takagi looked through his little notebook. Regarding the news that everyone had said, the boss lady did not say anything when the police asked for a confession.
Qian Yu explained the reason why the landlady didn’t say this: “Because the landlady is actually a very timid person, she was afraid that she would be reprimanded if she told the police such information that had nothing to do with the case when they were recording a statement, so she didn’t say this.
."
Conan took out a calendar from nowhere, walked to the wall and said: "This calendar that was removed for some reason exactly matches the traces on the wall."
Takagi wanted to explain the calendar, but Conan flipped through the calendar and found that it was already full of plans until December.
Qian Yu curled her lips, feeling that Takagi's explanation was too far-fetched.
"Another point is that the furniture has slight signs of movement." Conan pointed out the third doubt.
Hearing this, Takagi's frown relaxed: "The forensic staff also mentioned this. It should be a change of position. I think it's normal."
"Indeed, it would be normal if the furniture was moved." Conan took out a box of matches from his pocket and handed it to Takagi, "But it is a bit strange that such an important thing would be forgotten when moving the closet. Open it and take a look."
Takagi opened it, took out one of the folded papers, and unfolded the paper. The content on it surprised Takagi. It was a marriage application form. The other party's name was not written on it, but the seal was stamped on it first.
Seeing this made Qianyu very suspicious of what the marriage department in Japan does. They stamp it first. If someone picks it up, signs his name, and then submits it, will he get a wife directly?
Standing on the balcony, Huiyuan pointed to the cactus lying on the ground next to her and said: "On the day of the crime, it started to rain from the northwest early in the morning. Since she likes cactus so much, she couldn't just leave the cactus alone and just go out."
Conan made a simple summary: "So, there should be another person for some purpose, so she moved a lot of things."
After seeing the two people finish talking, they looked at themselves.
Qian Yu had no choice but to walk to the balcony, take a look at the cactus, then walked to one of the cactus, squatted down and said: "This is the golden tiger cactus that the landlady gave to Miss Muranishi as a gift on the night of the incident. The prick broke it. It should be
It was accidentally broken while carrying it."
These doubts are indeed very important, but there is another huge doubt in the case that Takagi still cannot figure out.
At the time of the incident, Higashikata was lying on the bed sleeping. The way he looked made it seem that Higashikata regarded the room in the west of the village as his own room.
Takagi's description was very vivid, and Conan nodded to indicate that what he said was right.
Seeing that Takagi hadn't gotten to that point and was still unclear, Conan had no choice but to explain: "The cognitive ability of drunk people will decline. The colors and positions of the sheets and curtains that were seen before were changed, and the calendar on the wall was removed.
, moved the cactus to the balcony just to influence Mr. Higashida’s cognition.”
"In other words, someone deliberately changed the layout of the room to make Mr. Higashida think he was at his home."
Conan's words made Takagi suddenly realize: "In other words, there is another murderer. Someone killed Miss Muranishi and then put the blame on Mr. Higashida."
Qian Yu applauded: "Yes, my IQ has improved."
Following the reasoning, the group planned to go to Dongtian's room to confirm.
It was already very late, and Ayumi and the others couldn't hold back their sleepiness and sat on the corridor and fell asleep.
It is difficult to see stars in the urban night sky, and the city seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Qian Yu and Hai Yuan leaned against the railing and looked at the night sky.
Conan is obsessed with solving the case, but the remaining two people also have their own little thoughts.
"Do you believe there are miracles in this world?" Haiyuan asked suddenly, looking at the sky.
"I believe it!"
As for miracles, Qianyu believes that his time travel is a miracle, and this miracle is very special!
Haiyuan smiled slightly when he heard the answer, and took a serious look at Qianyu who was looking up at the starry sky.
After hesitating for a moment, he put his head on Qian Yu's shoulder.
Qian Yu's body stiffened when she felt Haibara's movements, but she soon relaxed.
Looking at Huiyuan who was quietly leaning on his shoulder, he touched her head and finally said: "Xiao Ai..."
"Huh?" Haiyuan responded softly.
"Meeting you is a miracle for me, so..."
"Meeting you is also a miracle for me." Before Qianyu finished speaking, Haiyuan said the rest.
Finally, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the administrator had just gotten up, yawned, and came to inspect. When he came to the sixth floor where everyone was, he saw everyone sitting in the corridor and fell asleep, and kindly reminded him: "If you fall asleep here, you will catch a cold.
Oh!"
Takagi opened the door and happened to meet the administrator of the Mediterranean Sea. The administrator saw Takagi coming out of Higashida's house and was a little surprised: "Are you staying up all night to investigate the case?"
