Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 398 Police Investigation Direction

For some reason, Jiu Jianjie was a little strange, and asked:
"What does this have to do with my brother?"

"No, nothing, just a routine investigation."

Officer Mumu coughed lightly, and replied simply——in this case, the possibility of the other party using the twin brother to create an alibi can be ruled out.

"Then, let's continue talking about Miss Yukino."

Facing Kubo's introduction, Police Officer Megure continued to ask:

"When did you meet Miss Xue Nai? As her lover, what do you know about her?"

In this regard, Jiujian thought about it:
"I'm Yukino who I met last year, when she came to my doll classroom to teach... It's been a long time, and we've been together..."

"Then did you find anything unusual about Miss Yukino?"

Officer Mumu continued to ask.

"abnormal?"

Puzzled, Jiu Baosuke looked at Police Officer Megure, as if trying to figure out what he wanted to ask from his serious expression, and then Police Officer Megure asked in detail:

"For example, have you noticed anything unusual about Miss Yukino's usual behavior? Like she's deliberately avoiding something, or hiding something?"

But Kubosuke just thought for a while, finally shook his head, and replied:
"No way... Besides, everyone has their own secrets, right? This is also a normal thing."

In this regard, Police Officer Mumu didn't know how to continue to question him for a while. After all, with the existing evidence, the man in front of him had no time to commit the crime at all, so he couldn't be treated as a suspect.

And at this moment, Miwako Sato, who went out to investigate the true identity of "Izumo Yukino", ran back, and after hearing the question from Officer Megure just now, she couldn't help asking Officer Megure:

"Mr. Kubo, does Ms. Yukino have other boyfriends who are dating?"

"Huh? Another boyfriend?"

Kubosuke looked puzzled, murmured in doubt, and finally shook his head.

"Sato, what did you find?"

Police officer Mumu couldn't help asking.

"Just now, through Miss Xue Nai's photos, I inquired about several unsolved crime reports, and found that the photos of the suspects in these incidents looked almost identical to Miss Xue Nai."

Miwako Sato explained:

"The most recent case happened a year ago. The suspect used the name 'Mizutani Yukino', and all the previous cases used this name. After investigation under the name Mizutani Yukino, it was found that she had been charged with marriage fraud. , was reported several times."

"What did you say!"

Hearing Miwako Sato's narration, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Cheat...you're a liar! Miss Xue Nai, you actually have something to do with marriage fraud."

Xiaolan was surprised, covering her mouth with both hands, a little unbelievable.

"So, if the real identity of the 'Izumo Yukino' who died this time was 'Mizutani Yukino'. Combined with the previous crimes committed by her, besides Mr. Kubo, Miss Yukino was dating another man at the same time, We can assume there was some dispute between her and the man."

Sato Miwako seriously stated a possibility.

"In this case, it is logical that Ms. Yukino was killed in this daily rental apartment in Saitama Prefecture."

Takagi nodded in agreement.

"The deceased himself was very beautiful, and he could easily fool men around."

Officer Megure also began to lean towards Miwako Sato's idea, and nodded seriously.

"Then it's a love triangle?"

Sonoko also felt that this possibility was very reasonable, but she still said strangely:

"But why does Yukino-san tell us the lie of 'being violently abused by Mr. Kubo'?"

"It should be to sever ties with Kubo and extract a huge amount of breakup money from him! Mr. Kubo is a famous puppet maker and should be very rich."

Takagi As if he understood something, he blurted out such an inference.

To this, Miwako Sato also nodded in agreement, opening her mouth to analyze:

"So she used Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Mr. Akechi as her own witnesses to testify that she was indeed subjected to violence by Mr. Kubo. But because she had a dispute with another man at the same time, she could not I stayed at ease in my apartment, so I came here to video chat with you, pretending that she was still in the apartment. But I didn’t expect to be discovered by that person in the end, and the quarrel started.”

"And ended up being killed here!"

Takagi She said with a face full of confidence.

"So that's the case. In this case, there is a reasonable explanation for the case."

The more police officer Mu Mu thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he nodded in affirmation seriously.

"Is... is that the case?"

Yuanzi fell into a daze in astonishment, and said in a depressed mood, and she was not the only one who was hit hard, Xiaolan was the same.

"Did we really let Miss Xue Nai lie to me?"

Xiaolan showed a lonely expression and said so.

"It seems that Yukino has caused you a lot of trouble, I'm really sorry."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Jiu Baojian faced Xiaolan and Yuanzi, bowed deeply from the bottom of his heart, and apologized to them on behalf of Yukino.

"Ah! It's okay, but we misunderstood you, teacher."

"I'm really sorry."

Xiaolan and Yuanzi also apologized to Jiujianjie in embarrassment.

"it does not matter."

Jiu Baojie smiled gently, but his expression quickly became lonely.

"Then let's start searching for this crucial third person immediately!"

Police officer Meguro ordered solemnly:

"Takagi and Sato, use Yukino Mizutani as a clue to investigate her relationship carefully, and ask if there is any clue about that man!"

"Yes!"

After the two nodded, they walked out of the room. Officer Mugure also apologized to Jiu Jianjian immediately, and walked out of the scene, leaving only some police officers to stay at the scene.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan, Conan, Xiaolan, Sonoko and Jiu Jiansuke also left the scene with Police Officer Megure.

Along the way, Conan couldn't convince himself with this conjecture. He always felt that things were a little strange, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no thoughts, just a feeling——

"The culprit can only be Kubo!"

Conan thought so in his heart, but he could only hold his arms and think hard all the time.

But Gao Yuan beside him seemed completely indifferent to this incident, and seemed to acquiesce in the direction of the police's current investigation.

Conan tentatively asked Gao Yuan several times, but Gao Yuan simply prevaricated Conan, indicating that based on the existing clues, the direction of the police's investigation was correct.

In this regard, Conan had to think alone.

……

Reversal of time, back to the night of the incident, in the Porsche 356A driving on the road in Saitama County——

"'Bourbon'?"

Vodka, who was driving, heard what Gin said, and asked with some doubts:
"Didn't he go to track down the whereabouts of 'Xue Li'? How did he find out about this matter?"

"Do you remember 'Shirley' eluding us in Kyoto?"

Qin Jiu sneered and explained.

"Of course I remember. It was an excellent opportunity, but I didn't expect that the person we sent would be so useless that he couldn't even look down on a woman!"

Vodka said with some resentment.

"'Bourbon' followed this clue and discovered an interesting thing in Kyoto."

Saying that, Gin took a puff of cigarette, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more bleak:
"Five years ago, when I was sending 'Shirley' back to China, someone took a look at 'Shirley' at the airport, and since then she fell in love with 'Shirley', and began to treat girls who look similar to 'Shirley' Let's do it. And that painting came from the hand of that person's elder brother—that's the target of that person's miss this time!"

"Then shall we..."

"Need not."

Vodka wanted to say something, but was interrupted by gin:

"It's just a picture, and it's just a back view... That person has never seen the face of 'Xue Li' at all!"

As he said that, Gin's smile became more and more unrestrained, and at this moment, Gin's cell phone rang——

"Hey, 'Camu'..."
